ps: The first update, ask for votes, ask for subscriptions.

The passage of these two proposals was unhindered, and the parliamentarians would not oppose the king in this matter.

Generally speaking, as long as the king does not violate the principles, then the parliament is always under the control of the king, acting as an obedient body, assisting the king in the control of England.

After all, nominally, Parliament is the will of England, the representative of the people of the whole country.

For this, the Privy Councillor on the side, Farris. Alexander kept smiling and calmly watched the serious votes of the parliamentarians, the reading of the votes of the speaker.

"Today's third proposal, this time by the President of the Privy Council, Farris. His Excellency Alexander explained, please Your Excellency, Minister! ”

Standing on the podium in the center, the Speaker of the House of Commons, Thomas Murphy. Sir Moore's eyes widened slightly, and in a somewhat hoarse voice, he announced loudly to the MPs in front of him.

Immediately, as Farris was on his way to the podium, bursts of fierce applause rang out in his ears.

Unmoved, Faris smiled kindly and slowly stepped onto the podium.

At this moment, the applause below became more and more intense, which was a tribute from the parliamentarians to His Excellency the Minister.

Speaking of which, the members of the parliament are also pitiful, although they hold the power, but their own privileges need to be guaranteed by the king.

During the reign of Henry VIII, three prerogatives of parliamentarians were finally established.

Freedom of speech, immunity, and self-discipline.

These three rights were guaranteed in the name of the king, but they made the citizens and knights who had never enjoyed privileges before.

So, this is also one of the powerful ways for the king to control the house.

Adjusting his mood, Faris was still a little nervous in the face of the gaze of more than a hundred people.

"Good day, ladies and gentlemen! On this occasion, on behalf of His Majesty Edward VI, the Holy and the Great, I am here to explain to you the members and gentlemen the details of this bill! ”

Farris's voice was a little thick and magnetic, but his attitude was very modest, and compared to the Duke of Somerset, he was calm and did not have a high-spirited attitude.

Of course, this also has to do with the identities of the two of them.

Although Faris is the president of the Privy Council, he is not from a noble background, and some of the members below him are indeed knights, and their attitude is naturally much more humble than that of Duke Edward.

This attitude has won the favor of many parliamentarians, in English society, they are a group of **, higher status than peasants, but not much power, but they like to discuss state affairs, and they like the peaceful attitude of the Privy Council president.

"First of all, at the request of His Majesty, because of the huge expenses of the war and the overwhelming of the royal finances, for the safety and interests of the English people, His Majesty the King hopes that Parliament will approve the re-imposition of the royal grants in order to achieve the purpose of safeguarding national security!"

Farris's demeanor was steady, his sentences were smooth, and his voice was also very loud, and every word reached the ears of the councillors present.

After saying such a long paragraph, the parliamentarians below also exploded with a 'boom', and the parliamentarians exchanged their heads and began to discuss.

Sir Moore, the Speaker of Parliament, did not stop this, these were just ordinary practices, and this was the case before every bill was passed.

The parliamentarians did not look surprised at the proposal to levy a subsidy, nor did they intend to stop it in the slightest, but they were only curious that His Majesty had not yet levied the subsidy, which was not in their expectation.

Farris glanced at the councillors who were talking, and his eyes skimmed Sir Moore, and then Sir struck the podium with a small hammer in his hand, making a 'thump' sound.

"Quiet, quiet gentlemen!" Seeing Sir Moore struck the hammer to death, the MPs fell silent and sat obediently.

"And this time the subsidy is different, His Majesty believes that the next war will be continuous, in order to avoid the trouble of reconvening the Parliament, therefore, His Majesty hopes that the Parliament will set the time for the collection of the subsidy to be permanent, of course, when the war is over, the King will automatically cancel it!"

A sentence came out of Farris's mouth, a pure London accent, combined with his relaxed expression, as if to say to the parliamentarians, this is a trivial matter, everyone quickly agree!

"Whoa—" As Faris finished saying this, the councillors below began to boil like boiling water, and the deputies became louder and louder, and their favorability of the minister quickly disappeared and was replaced by anger.

Farris felt that the group of councillors below was about to be set on fire, and if he was an ordinary person, he would have been beaten to death with a stick.

It is a pity that he is the President of the Privy Council, the supreme adviser to His Majesty the King, and no member of parliament dares to do anything to him, or even to question him.

After all, this is not the later parliament, and the councillors are just ordinary citizens and knights, after doing it and questioning, think about the consequences!

Despite this, the parliamentarians have made up their minds to let this proposal abort, even if it offends the king.

After a while, the councillors below were quiet, and the atmosphere was a little heavy.

Farris could also guess the state of mind of the councillors at this time, smiled freely, and continued:

"For this reason, His Majesty undertakes that he will not use a penny of a subsidy, except for customs duties and tithes!"

"Moreover, the grant will be administered by the Treasury of the Privy Council, which is formed by merging the Revenue and Expenditure Management Division of the Privy Council and the Treasury Department, and the Council can supervise the examination of the Privy Council's budget at the beginning of each year, and will normally have the right to supervise!"

"If His Majesty uses a silver coin from the Treasury, the Parliament has the power to terminate the collection of the subsidy!"

In fact, Edward racked his brains (and so did I) on how to seize the right to collect taxes, and finally he came up with the idea of dividing the royal treasury from the Privy Council, that is, the inner court and the treasury were divided in half, each in charge.

The parliamentarians reluctantly accepted a little bit of this, but they were still not used to throwing away this bargaining chip that could blackmail the king, and more importantly, in the future, they only had the right to supervise, and they had less power in their hands.

In this regard, the parliamentarians are still a little dissatisfied in their hearts. The establishment of the parliament was to control the royal power, and if the king received the permanent right to levy the subsidy, even if he did not use it himself, the royal power would definitely flourish.

Moreover, if the subsidy is levied permanently, it will definitely be harmful to their interests, but if the king does not collect taxes indiscriminately, it can be reluctantly accepted.

"Ladies and gentlemen, His Majesty has asked me to tell you that it is irrational to go against the will of the King!" Seeing that most of the councillors still had a look of hesitation on their faces, Farris finally added.

As soon as these words came out, the faces of all the councillors changed, and their hearts remembered the Tower of London at the same time.
