Chapter 58: A feeling of being played

Early the next morning, the Earl of Boswell heard that the Duke of Somerset had visited the Earl of Warwick the previous night.

His heart had been going up and down last night, for fear that his financial path would be interrupted. Hearing this news, my uneasy heart couldn't help but be relieved, it seems that my factory is still increasing its recruitment efforts, and next year will definitely be a bumper year.

"Ofrey! Add me a bowl of barley porridge! When the Earl of Boswell heard this, his morning appetite grew.

"Yes! My master! The pretty maid on the side bowed her head and answered.

After breakfast, the Earl of Boswell rode in a carriage to the Palace of Westminster, where not only the House of Lords and Commons were located, but also the place where the Regency Council met.

As soon as he got out of the carriage, the Earl saw that the Earl of Wellington was frightened by the groom, and a smile quickly appeared on his face, and he smiled very sincerely.

He had already expected today's result, so for the Earl of Wellington, there was no entanglement of interests, and he also had the intention of repairing.

"Oh! Dear Earl of Wellington! What a pleasure to meet you! "The Earl's chubby body and the same body of the Earl of Wellington hugged each other, which looked particularly funny.

"Oh! No! Mr. Earl! I'm so flattered by your enthusiasm! ”

When the Earl of Boswell heard this, he quickly let go of the pale-faced Earl of Wellington. And there was still a trace of fear on the frightened expression on the Earl of Wellington's face, obviously choking on the Earl of Boswell.

"My Earl, you are so enthusiastic!"

"Didn't I make up for the loss of feelings between the two of us yesterday!" Earl Boswell said with a sincere face, looking particularly aggrieved.

"Alright! Let's go in first! It still matters to the meeting! The Earl of Wellington could not bear the Earl's disgusting tone, and hurriedly resorted to his escape.

Seeing the Earl of Wellington's rabbit-like steps, he couldn't help but shake his head and smile bitterly, and also walked towards the conference room.

After the Earl sat in his own seat, the ministers arrived one after another.

Duke Edward stood on the throne, patted the table, and motioned for the ministers to be quiet.

"Gentlemen! Today is still the same as yesterday's topic! Do you want to fight those northern barbarians! ”

After the Duke said this, he immediately sat down and watched the ministers say nothing.

Ministers, look at me, I look at you, even the Earl of Boswell and the Earl of Wellington, who had a great quarrel yesterday, were quiet.

Therefore, the whole conference room is extraordinarily quiet, and you can vaguely hear the shouting of the horsemen outside the window, and if you listen carefully, the sound of the horses can be heard clearly.

Seeing that the ministers were speechless, the Earl of Boswell knew that he was going to make this debut, otherwise the meeting would be a little hanging.

"Your Excellencies! I still think Lord Edward's proposal is very good! I agree with his proposal! ”

With that, the Earl sat down, without the burning sensation of yesterday.

Immediately afterwards, the ministers turned their attention to the Earl of Wellington to see if he could hold on to his ideas, after all, they had heard that the Duke of Edward had visited him the previous evening.

The Earl of Wellington twisted his head and looked at the Earl of Boswell in his seat.

After thinking about it, everyone's eyes focused on him, although he was a little slapped in the face and depressed for a while, he finally decided to speak.

"Good day! Ladies and gentlemen, after careful consideration last evening, I have decided to overturn my opinion, and I support the proposal of the Duke of Somerset! ”

After speaking, he seemed to hear the voices of the ministers, even if he was thick-skinned enough, but Mr. Earl still felt a little embarrassed.

The words of the Earl of Wellington were like dropping a bomb on the calm waters, causing an uproar.

The ministers did not expect that the Earl, who was still against the vanguard yesterday, would make a 360-degree turn today and suddenly become a supporter of the Duke.

But it's normal to think about it, after all, he has always been a supporter of Lord Duke before, but because of the turn of interests to opposition, and now because of interests, he has returned to the original source.

Immediately afterwards, the Earl of Warwick, who had been calmly observing from the side, stood up and attracted everyone's attention, only Duke Edward looked confident.

"Gentlemen! The aggression of the Scots against us is obvious to all, and this group of barbarians will not know how powerful England is without teaching us a lesson! But an expedition to Scotland would put a heavy burden on the finances that had just improved! It's a tough choice! I respect your choice! ”

After the Earl had spoken some nonsense, he sat down again, and watched the minister's performance with pleasure as if nothing had happened.

Although Lord Earl did not express his position, but the people who could enter the regency committee were human spirits, so how could they not understand!

Bishop Thomas, who was closing his eyes and recuperating, suddenly opened his eyes, his cloudy eyes seemed to be thinking about something, and then closed his eyes as if nothing had happened.

And Baron Thomas, after more than a month of marriage leave, was finally able to attend the Regency Council, and as the Minister of the Navy and the Minister of Fortune VIII, he was already a member of the Regency Council.

He was very satisfied with his brother's loss yesterday, but it didn't last long, and his mood began to deteriorate again.

Then, unsurprisingly, in the next vote, Duke Edward passed with nine votes in favor and seven against, and then it was enough to give it to Edward for approval.

Duke Edward finally smiled smugly, and Earl Boswell smiled heartily.

"Dear gentlemen! Next, it's time to discuss the question of who will lead the expeditionary force! ”

"And I'm going to take the guys from LinkedIn Glenn on an expedition to the Scottish barbarians!"

"And I proposeβ€”" Lord Duke paused for a moment, whetting the appetites of his ministers, the most concerned of whom was the Earl of Warwick.

Looking at the expectant crowd, Duke Edward finally continued: "The Earl of Warwick is the deputy marshal, and the logistics are in charge!" ”

"And during my absence from London, Bishop Thomas presided over the daily affairs of the Regency Council! And ......"

"What?" The corners of the Earl of Warwick's mouth suddenly opened wide, interrupting the Duke's speech, and it was evident that he was so shocked that he made a sound.

"Excuse me, gentlemen! I'm feeling a little unwell, so I'll go back first! The Earl of Warwick contained his emotions, bowed to the many ministers, and then gave Duke Edward a fierce look.

Everyone could tell that the Earl of Warwick was very angry, and that it had something to do with his appointment.
