Chapter 50: Deliberation

"Really? Take it! Let me see what His Excellency Major James has written to me! "Count Thomas knows his brother very well, and a little naval lieutenant can be of any importance.

Since the death of his father, his contact with his younger brother James has gradually decreased. It's rare to see anything like this today.

Thomas Rio Shesley, Earl of Southampton, was a well-known political figure in England.

When he was young, he followed his father, who was a royal official, into the court of the Tudor royal family, and became the private secretary of the chief minister Thomas Cromwell in 1533, and succeeded him as the minister of state of Henry VIII in 1540, one of Henry's main advisers, and served as the Lord Chancellor in 1544~1547.

After the death of Henry VIII, he was promoted to Earl of Southampton by the Duke of Somerset (1547), the year Edward ascended the throne.

Historically, he was later removed from the post of Lord Chancellor by the Duke of Somerset in the same year.

Maybe it's because of resentment! In 1549 he supported John of Warwick. Dudley, who participated in the coup d'Γ©tat that overthrew the Duke of Somerset, shook his way and entered the center of power in England.

However, before he could enjoy the Privy Council sofa, he was expelled from the Privy Council in 1550. You can see how failed his political career was!

By this time, the Lord Earl had returned from London to the port of Southampton, where his family lived.

The Earl casually opened the envelope, lay down on his back in his chair, spread out the letter, and glanced at it slightly.

Suddenly, the Earl sat up straight, his eyes wide open, staring straight at the letter, without blinking an eye, the corners of his mouth slightly curled, and the letter in his fingers straightened.

After watching for nearly three minutes, the Earl rubbed his eyes, put down James's letter, and thought carefully. The housekeeper on the side also didn't speak, standing at the desk, looking like he was at his orders.

"Is the little king really coming to Portsmouth for the navy?"

"What does he want the Navy for? Was it to deal with the Duke of Somerset in London? ”

"But! Isn't the Duke the uncle of the little king? Why deal with the Duke of Somerset? ”

The Count thought slowly, and one question after another popped up in his mind.

Thinking about it, the earl's head began to ache, and the earl then remembered his heir, the three-year-old Henry. Rio Shesley, who was liked by the count for his brilliant mind. So he remembered his son's smile to soothe the nerves in his brain.

His son was also the Earl II of Southampton, Henry. Rio Shesley, in fact, is most famous for his son, Henry Jr. Rio Shesley – Earl III of Southampton.

He was not only favored by Queen Elizabeth I, fought in wars, loved poetry and drama, and was a patron of many poets and playwrights, including William Shakespeare, yes! It's the great opera master Shakespeare. He became famous for Shakespeare.

According to the records of the wild history, (the wild history!) It's none of my business! He was not only Shakespeare's patron, but also a fan of the same sex. Lover, Shakespeare's two works "Venus and Adonis" and "The Passion of Louise" are dedicated to him, and Shakespeare's "Sonnets" are also all written to him, and the ambiguous language in them shows Shakespeare's love for this beautiful man. (Here's the proof!) οΌ‰

"The servant is now dedicated to your Excellency with a slang and crude psalm, and he is presumptuous and profane, and he does not need to speak; And the servant is so weak that he wants to attach the pillars of the Zhen to self-consolidation, and he will be criticized for the proposal, and it is needless to say. However, Your Excellency Gou does not hesitate to be respectful, and accepts this celery offering with a smile, which is not a special servant's pride, but also excessive, and vows to spend his life and time to do his best to be diligent and diligent, and to engage in work that can live up to Your Excellency's favor to encourage himself. ”

- Venus and Adonis

"Marne! Go and call Madame over for a moment! The Earl thought about it for a while, and called his wife over to help with the reference!

"Yes! Dear Earl! The steward of Marne quickly complied, and he had always been very conscientious in fulfilling the Earl's orders.

After a while, the steward of Marne led Lady Jenny to the study.

I saw that Mrs. Jenny was dressed in a noble lady's outfit, regardless of her face, the mountain on her chest alone won a lot of extra points.

The face is smeared with cosmetics used by the aristocracy, the skin looks extraordinarily smooth and pink, the pale red lips, the long golden hair, and the smell of a milf in her thirties, it is really a seductive stunner.

No wonder Count Thomas is in his thirties and can still give birth to an heir, and there is a reason why. Unfortunately, I don't know if it was because I didn't know how to control myself, but I went to see God at the age of forty-five.

"My dear lady! Your arrival is truly a pleasure! Seeing his wife's seductive body slowly coming over, the Earl felt refreshed and his brain lightened.

The Count hurriedly got up, helped his wife to sit down in the seat next to him, held her delicate jade hands, and held them tightly.

"Dear Lord Count! Something can bother you! Lady Jenny pursed her lips softly, and her voice was very soft, and she laughed at her husband.

"Could it be that His Excellency the Duke of London has come to invite you again?"

"Jenny! Don't laugh! "The black line on Count Thomas's face is an eternal scar on the fact that he was laid out by Duke Edward.

"I called you over this time, mainly because my brother who was far away in the navy sent me a letter!" The Count glanced at the door, motioned for the butler to go out, and explained carefully to his beautiful lady.

Five minutes had passed, and the Earl explained that he was very thirsty, and when he saw the contemplative and beautiful look on Lady Jenny's face, the Earl was even more thirsty.

"My sir, the little king from far away in London has come to Portsmouth, in my opinion, for the navy!"

"My lady, you agree with me, but why would the little king win over the navy?" The Earl voiced his doubts, expecting an answer from his wife.

"I guess it's for the right!" The Countess said slowly.

"But! Wasn't the Duke of Somerset his uncle? ”

"Doesn't the little king need to be in charge? He's weaving wings! The Countess was speechless when she asked Count Thomas, leaving only the coquettish laughter of the charming lady.

"Then we can take refuge in the little king!" The Earl concluded, "Let Edward. Seymour, the fortunate minister, tasted the loss of power! ”

Thinking of this, Count Thomas couldn't help but feel a lot more happy in his heart, and looking at his charming lady, the count couldn't help but feel a physiological desire.

"My lady, I think the Rio Shesley family needs more heirs!" The Earl picked up Lady Jenny in an instant and walked to the large bed in the study.

So, the whole study echoed with a moving voice, and the poor housekeeper stood outside the door of the study, silently enduring the torment.
