Chapter Ninety-Eight: Reunion

PS: The third bullet

Riding in an extravagant carriage, Sir John, the Minister of Princely Affairs, followed Edward back to Whitehall Palace.

Sitting in the carriage, Edward looked at the cautious Sir John and couldn't help but smile slightly.

"My Excellency, don't be so nervous, relax!"

"Yes, Your Majesty, your care for me is really touching!"

Looking at the minister in his fifties in front of him, he sobbed slightly, and wore a pair of reading glasses.

The Humpty Dumpty Minister was so familiar with patting the horse's ass that Edward was speechless.

I'm afraid this is a problem brought about by his father, Henry VIII, who served him.

"Honestly, my Lord Sir, how many pounds do you have left in the royal family?"

Edward reluctantly stopped the Chancellor's emotion and asked out loud.

"Your Majesty! Grieve...... The royal family used to have 130,000 pounds a year, but after deducting the royal expenses and the 30,000 pounds you just lent to the treasury, it is now only about 40,000 pounds! ”

After saying that, Mr. Jazz looked at Edward like a resentful woman, a wronged housewife.

Squeaky ......

Looking at Sir John's resentful eyes, Edward couldn't help but feel a little sick in his heart, and just as he was about to stop it, the carriage couldn't help shaking.

"Your Majesty, this section of the road is a little uneven!" The groom's somewhat trembling voice reached Edward's ears.

Edward didn't say anything when he saw this, and the groom outside the car gently stroked his chest and breathed a sigh of relief.

Feeling his ass tossed, Edward suddenly remembered a good business.

Wouldn't the carriage not shake when it was put on a spring, what a big business opportunity! How many aristocrats and wealthy merchants are there in Europa, this is a business that is slower to make money than selling alcohol, but it is more profitable.

"Your Majesty! Your Majestyβ€”" Seeing the young king in front of him stunned, His Excellency the Minister was a little panicked.

"Oh! It's nothing, the 40,000 pounds will be taken out later, as the military expenses of the expansion escort! ”

Edward looked at Sir John, who was looking pitiful in front of him, and said mercilessly.

"Yes! Your Majesty, your decision is still so wise! ”

After listening to Edward, Sir John returned to his sycophant form.

"That's it! Let's wait a little bit for Baron Smith to arrive! ”

"Yes, Your Majesty! Follow your instructions! ”

Although Edward likes to listen to sycophants, he can't stand such a large dose.

In this way, in less than ten minutes, Edward took Sir John to Whitehall Palace.

"Lucy, you go and get someone to ask Baron Smith to come and visit!"

After getting out of the carriage, Edward directly ordered Lucy to come and greet him.

"Yes, Your Majesty!" Lucy bent over and replied in a coquettish voice.

"Let's go have a cup of tea! Sir John. Edward said to Sir John behind him.

"Yes! Your Majesty, you are so powerful, how do you know that I am thirsty? I can't put into words how much I admire you......"

When Sir John heard Edward's arrangement, he gushed out countless fleshy words, and Edward was speechless again!

"Alright, Mr. Sir, let's go have some tea first!"

With that, Edward hastened his pace and moved away from Sir John.

Soon, the arrival of Baron Smith relieved Edward's predicament, and he was surrounded by a verbose and sycophant, which really made Edward's life worse than death!

"Your Majesty! I'm coming! "Baron Smith is as straightforward as ever.

"Your Excellency, the Guards will be expanded from today onwards!"

Edward said to Baron Smith with a hint of excitement.

"Really? That's great! I don't think 500 people are enough to protect you! ”

Baron Smith was excited when he heard Edward's words. After all, the expansion of the guard army means that his rights have also expanded a lot, and no man does not think that the power of mobile phones is too big.

"Yes! Your Majesty, your bodyguards should have expanded a long time ago, your safety is the most important thing, and those ministers are really ill-intentioned to oppose the expansion. ”

Sir John interjected at the right time.

"From this day onwards, you will be in charge of recruiting with Sir John!"

"You're in charge of recruiting people, and Sir John is in charge of financial expenditures!"

Edward said to the hunched Baron Smith and Sir John.

"Yes, Your Majesty!" "Follow your instructions, Great Majesty!" The two of them answered in unison.

"Uncle Smith, you give priority to the orphans you have adopted, who are up to the age of fourteen!"

"Then, Sir John, you cooperate with Baron Smith to select the guards in the crown domain!"

After saying this, Edward became a little thirsty and took a sip of the tea that Lucy had brought.

"You two sit down, drink a cup of tea and moisten your throats!"

The two of them then obediently sat down in their chairs, and Sir John was about to speak when he was stopped by Edward's stern gaze.

"Half of the people to be selected next must be from local gentlemen, and the other half must be from freemen!"

"You have to be between sixteen and twenty years old, and you don't want any diseases!"

"If you're from a free man, it's okay to be thinner, just be healthy!"

"The selection method is based on the length of the run, and the admission is in order from the most to the least."

…………

In this way, Edward chatted with Baron Smith and Sir John until one o'clock in the afternoon.

"Your Majesty, it's time for lunch!" Seeing this, Lucy whispered softly in Edward's ear.

"Alright, gentlemen, let's have lunch together!"

Edward used the good way of eating together.

"Your Majesty, ......" "Huh?"

Before Sir John could finish speaking, he was blocked back by Edward, leaving Sir John with an aggrieved face at the end.

……………… The dividing line of all evil..................

At this time, after the meeting presided over by Edward was dismissed, it was decided to release the order of Duke Edward and immediately arrived at the Star Chamber Court.

In a cramped dark room, the former Duke of Edward looked at the book blankly with an indifferent look on his face, and did not say a word.

"Your Excellency! You're free! Judge Jackson opened the door, and although there was no expression on his face, the flattery in his tone was obvious.

After Duke Edward was relieved of his dukedom, he reverted to his original title of earl, but his nephew, King Edward, began to govern himself, and he may remember him at some point.

So Jackson as a small judge, but for Edward. Seymour was polite.

"Really? It seems that my nephew saved me, and if it were Count Walker, I would have been interrogated! ”

Jackson didn't answer this sentence, and he, a little judge, was not qualified or brave enough to take it.

With that, Duke Edward walked out of the black room, passed through the long corridor, and heard knocks on the doors of various black rooms, and Count Edward was very touched at this time.

When he reached the door, he saw his family's carriage parked in front of the Star Chamber Court, while his wife, Lady Anne, walked anxiously about.

"Annie! I am back! Duke Edward called out to his wife.

"Is that you? Edward, you're finally out! Lady Anne saw the figure of Duke Edward and hurriedly pounced.

"I thought you wouldn't come back? God forbid! Lady Anne hugged Duke Edward and wept with joy.
