Although the Scottish aristocracy was also loyal to the royal family, it was far less than the English nobility.
More importantly, the Scottish aristocracy could only help Edward stabilize Scotland, while the English nobility could help him stabilize England.
Logically speaking, the functions of the two factions of aristocracy are the same, and it is natural to wait for them.
But in reality, it is different, the importance of the English aristocracy is much higher than that of the Scottish aristocracy.
That's because England was Edward's roots, and with England there was Scotland, Wales, and Ireland.
In terms of population, there were more than three million in England and only a million in Scotland, and many were controlled by the aristocracy.
In terms of taxes, England pays hundreds of thousands of taxes, which is a large taxpayer in the United Kingdom, not to mention, it provides a lot of wealth for the royal family.
More importantly, Edward was first and foremost the king of England, but the crown of Scotland was shared with Mary, and the importance was immediately clear.
England is his foundation, and with England everything is possible.
Therefore, the Duke of Norfolk's words immediately calmed down His Majesty's heart.
"Of course, there is no need to question how to choose between the English nobility and the Scottish aristocracy, and the move to weaken the English aristocracy should indeed be cautious!"
After some thought, Edward came to a conclusion.
Huh-
What I just said was about the arrest of the nobles, what does it have to do with the nobles of England?
"Damn, sure enough, everyone is simple, don't look at him young, but think a lot!"
In the blink of an eye, he immediately dragged the captoring nobles into a battle between the English nobles and the Scottish nobles, forcing the king to make a choice.
Arrest it, and the power of the English aristocracy will be weakened, and the power of the Scottish nobility will soar, and the balance will be broken.
His own rule is also unstable.
Don't catch it! But they are all Calvinists, and if they are released, the harm will be even greater in the future.
In this way, it was difficult for Edward to make a choice for a while.
A smile appeared on the corner of the Duke of Norfolk's lips, and he sat in the carriage and was returning to the mansion.
Finally, when he saw the look of surprise in the eyes of His Majesty, he knew that his purpose was already inseparable.
His Majesty the King is the center of power, even if the cabinet is still in London, but most of the nobles have come to the vicinity of Windsor Castle, selling land to buy land, building houses and building houses, for a time, the arrival of Scottish nobles has made the entire land near Windsor Castle hot up The price has skyrocketed.
Sitting in the carriage, there was a tinkling sound in his ears, and the Duke opened the curtain of the car bed, looking at the pictures of the groundbreaking construction, and the dust that had been raised, which made the happy mood of the Duke dissipate immediately.
"A group of Scottish savages, who think that moving to London is civilized, are ashamed of the people who tend to be inflammatory!"
You don't have to guess to know that it was the Scottish nobles who were building the house.
After all, there are very few ownerless villas near Windsor Castle, and if they have to follow His Majesty the King, they can only buy land and build houses.
In this regard, the young duke naturally looked down on it, and his eyes were full of contempt.
As everyone knows, outside the car, a group of Scottish nobles are gathering together, riding horses and carrying bows, hugging each other in front and back, so imposing.
A group of people were discussing their prey, elated.
Although they stayed in the bustling city of London, they were dizzying and curious to enjoy all kinds of things.
But, after all, they came from Scotland, and although the city was good, it was not as refreshing as hunting on horseback.
So, when His Majesty the King came to Windsor Castle, they also got together and began to hunt.
For commoners, they could not hunt at will without the permission of their lords, but they were nobles, with natural exceptions.
Besides, their group of people, hundreds of people who shouted and hugged each other, which nobleman dared to come to obstruct it, I am afraid that it will be underbeaten.
"Your Excellency, you have gained a lot today!" With green eyes and red hair, there were two deer and a wild boar next to the red-haired Count Lennox, and the nobles naturally had a strong eye, and hurriedly clapped their ass.
"What's there, today's harvest is less than half of my usual harvest, England is not as good as Scotland, I just take it, there is more than one wolf!"
Even though he was almost thirty years old, Count Lennox was still reckless and rude, touching his beard, raising his chin, and said arrogantly.
"Only wolves can embody the courage of our men, and those English girls naturally can't understand it."
With the words of His Excellency the Earl, many Scottish nobles immediately burst into laughter.
Just as England called the Scots barbarians, and the Scottish nobles were naturally not far behind, and hurriedly gave the English nobles with gentlemanly manners nicknames, ridiculing them for doing things awkwardly, hesitating, and without a little men's decisiveness.
"Hey, Your Excellency, isn't that the Duke of Norfolk's coat of arms? It used to be the Duke of Norfolk's carriage! ”
On the side, the sharp-eyed nobleman saw the Duke of Norfolk's carriage and hurriedly said.
Although he looks down on the nobles of England, as the only duke in England at present, the leader of the nobility, and the family crest of the Duke of Norfolk's family, many nobles naturally know it.
After all, knowing the family crest of a nobleman is a knowledge they must have.
"It's really the family crest of the Duke of Norfolk's family, and I'm afraid it's the Duke of Norfolk sitting inside!" Count Lennox immediately looked up, thought for a while, and said.
"This carriage always came out of Windsor Castle, and it seems that this duke went to see His Majesty, and I don't know if he met him!" Another nobleman immediately continued, his tone full of ridicule.
"What's going on? Why did the Duke of Norfolk ask to see the King! What happened? Count Lennox was a little confused for a while, he had never cared much about political matters, and when he got the news, he immediately asked.
Seeing that His Excellency the Earl was interested, the little nobleman immediately puffed up his chest and said:
"I heard that a while ago, two spy organizations under His Majesty's command went out on a large scale and arrested several English nobles!"
"And the Duke of Norfolk, as the leader of the nobility, naturally cannot sit idly by, and can only ask to see His Majesty, but His Majesty has refused to accept his request several times!" The Earl was interested, and the little nobles naturally confided in it.
"What? His Majesty the King was able to arrest the nobles, or did he arrest the secret agents under his hands, how could it be possible? Hearing this, Count Lennox looked incredulous.
He really couldn't imagine that in Scotland, even if the nobles were treasonous, only the parliament would determine that the nobles were not guilty, and His Majesty the King could not let it go.
And in England, the doglegs under the king dared to arrest the nobles at will, and asked the duke to intercede.
Such a picture is really unimaginable.
When did the king's power become so great?
