Chapter 76 Scottish Parliament

At the English barracks three miles outside Edinburgh, most of the soldiers fell asleep, except for the necessary guards, while the main leading generals of England gathered in the main tent of the Duke of Edward and began their happy time.

Leaders sit around a long table, where a white candle is placed at intervals, and in the light of the candles, the table is lit with glossy foie gras and delicious cheese.

Of course, how can men get together without alcohol? The best French wines were held in the hands of the waitress at the table, and from time to time they were poured into the vacant glasses.

"Gentlemen! We are happily gathered here today to celebrate the end of this war and the fact that we are one step away from victory! ”

Lord Edward raised his glass and gestured to the army generals seated.

"Whoa!" The generals quickly got up and raised their wine glasses, and even the commander Duke Edward stood up, how could these subordinates be rude?

"This cup, let us pay homage to the great Majesty Edward, we are blessed by him to achieve such a victory!"

After saying that, Duke Edward took a sip of the special cuvée in the wide wine glass, and the liquid of the red ** man passed through the Duke's throat and ran into his stomach.

Seeing this, the generals who got up also gently took a sip of the red liquid in their hands.

"This glass, let us toast to the young man who has done a great job this time, Harry, who has made our great majesty the king do what he wanted, and brought us a queen back to England!"

The drop of this sentence made the atmosphere in the audience suddenly lively!

"Haha! Harry, I didn't expect you to have this hand, good! Baron Ajer, who was bold by nature, looked at Harry, who was a little shy, and couldn't help patting him on the shoulder and complimenting.

"Thank you for the compliment, Uncle Ager, and I can't do more than you!"

Harry knew that Baron Ajar had always had a good relationship with the Wellington family, so he was very polite to the baron.

The conversation between the two seemed very small in this lively scene, without a trace of ripples.

The Duke pressed it, and the crowd of people who were discussing it slowly fell silent, after all, it was indeed surprising that His Majesty had a fiancée.

"Ladies and gentlemen, we will not discuss the affairs of His Majesty, my second glass of wine is to all of you seated, especially the Earl of Warwick and the Earl of Wellington!"

"You two are England's greatest heroes!" Edward looked at the Earl of Warwick and the Earl of Wellington, his words full of gratitude.

People who don't know still think that this is a handsome and harmonious scene, but it's a pity that all the people who can sit here are human spirits, so why don't they understand the private feelings?

"Your Excellency the Duke is polite, who doesn't know that you are the greatest hero of England!" The Earl of Warwick did not speak, but smiled stiffly, and seeing this, the Earl of Wellington spoke first.

"Words can't be said like that, it's all God's blessing that makes us victorious today!"

Duke Edward was bored, so he pretended it hadn't happened, and walked away down the steps.

"And, gentlemen, I will return to London in three days' time, and the task of besieging Edinburgh will be entrusted to the Earl of Wellington and you!"

Although the Duke has only said it now, the generals have not been surprised, and it has already been known to everyone, after all, the Duke Lord's guard camp has been packing up, and the blind can see it.

"Don't worry! Lord Duke, as long as the Scots do not sign the annexation agreement, I will besiege Edinburgh to the death, and no one will pass me!" ”

The Earl of Wellington patted his chest and assured loudly, with indescribable seriousness and heroism in his words.

"I believe you, Monsieur Earl, and I don't think you will disappoint me!"

"So, feel free to do so! Have fun! ”

The Duke clapped his hands, and a row of scantily clad ladies walked in gracefully, and the generals laughed heartily, and it seemed that they were more satisfied with Duke Edward's arrangement.

Duke Edward, however, stepped out of the tent, leaving everyone to spend their drunken time.

A pleasant feast lasted until the next day, and the mess and moaning in it were not enough for outsiders.

The next day, September 25, 1547, the House of Commonwealth, Scotland.

In fact, just as England has a parliament, Scotland also has a parliament, but the English House is a tame dog of the king, and the Scottish House is a dog that has been restored to the wild, and it is an institution that effectively checks the power of the king.

However, both countries were the same at this time, the House was ruled by the aristocracy, and because of the backwardness of Scotland, the aristocracy became more powerful, and it had completely mastered the House.

"Ladies and gentlemen, this is a merger agreement sent by the English, and it is up to you to call the shots at this time of life and death for our Scotland!"

The Earl of Aaron was tired and haggard from the many days of patrolling, and his voice was so weak that the councillors behind him could hardly hear what he said.

Even though they had already known that the English had sent a treaty to merge Scotland and England, the nobles present did not know it in detail, so they rushed to circulate it.

Half an hour later, more than 200 noble councillors present hurriedly glanced at each other, but even so, the anger of the nobles rose like boiling water.

"Those damned Southerners, hypocritical liars, they don't deserve to come to Scotland!"

"Scotland is our Scottish, and no one can take away our ownership of this land!"

"For the sake of freedom, we have nothing to fear!" …………

The parliamentarians were furious, cursing or cursing the English people as if they were dying, and chanting slogans incessantly.

"Be quiet, gentlemen! Let's start voting! Please calm down! ”

"I also know that everyone is very uncomfortable, but this is a necessary process in the house, please be quiet!"

The speaker of the House of Representatives, Baron Ross, had a wrinkled face and a beard, and repeated it several times before he persuaded the excited nobles to come down, which shows everyone's dissatisfaction with this agreement!

"Gentlemen, I have good news for you, His Majesty King Henry II of France has promised to send troops, and will increase our assistance in the future!"

Earl Arlen interjected at the right time, & amp; amp; amp; amp; amp; amp; amp; amp; gt; It ignited the enthusiasm of the parliamentarians, and the cheers were heard for a long time.

"Yes gentlemen! Start voting! Baron Ross waited until the curtain had fallen before he began.

The chamberlain held parchment paper to the eager nobles, and the lively parliamentary proposal finally began to be voted on.

After two hours of counting, Baron Ross now spoke at the place where he was speaking, looking at the parchment in his hand and reading it carefully.
