ps: On the shelves on June 1st, I hope you will support it!

He did not expect that this specially set up regulation, which was originally intended to protect his ruling position in the regent council, was actually taken advantage of by the Earl of Warwick to remove him from his position.

The faces of everyone present changed in unison, even if the result of the vote had been expected, but the real arrival of this moment still made the ministers incredulous.

This is how the Duke of Somerset, who ruled England for two years, came to an end.

At the same time, the meeting had just ended, not far from Whitehall House, and this time it was Bishop Thomas who had come as a guest.

Bishop Thomas was like an ordinary old man at this time, with silver hair on his head, a two-inch beard on his chin, wrinkles on his face, and a smile like a blooming chrysanthemum, giving people a sense of intimacy.

However, his face was much more ruddy than that of an ordinary old man, his eyes were wide open, there was no trace of cloudiness in his eyes, and the taste of shrewdness and cunning was very strong.

This was Edward's direct impression of the minister in front of him who had been left by his father.

"Your Majesty! The Duke of Edward was defeated today, but in vain, John of Warwick, Earl of Warwick. Dudley is another copy of Duke Edward! ”

Seeing the young king in front of him listening seriously, the bishop couldn't help but sigh with emotion.

The Bishop was still satisfied with Edward, who, like Henry VIII, loved to read, believed in Protestantism, was open-minded, and did not have the common disease of aristocrats - luxury.

On these points alone, the Bishop was satisfied, and he felt that this was the merit of being a good king.

So Edward asked him to do things several times, and he did them one by one, after all, the ministers will fall one day, but the king will never fall.

In fact, if Edward hadn't died as early as he did in history, the Bishop would have made the right investment.

"Yes! You see it the same as I do, the Count of Warwick is a cunning wolf, like François of the French Guise family now. Morality. Lorraine is an ambitious man. ”

During the reign of the current French King François I, the Guise family controlled the northern and eastern provinces of France in addition to the Lorraine region that they originally controlled. It can be called the first family in France.

"So?"

"Therefore, I think with the wisdom of His Majesty the King, and with the guidance of your ministers, it is possible to govern England!"

"Ministers also want you to stop this political chaos and to settle the local riots."

Bishop Thomas said earnestly, his eyes unblinking, and his pupils shining brightly, as if he had confidence in Edward.

"Alright! Originally, I felt that I was still young and didn't want to get involved in politics too early, but you have so much confidence in me and you have personally come to persuade me, then I'll give it a try! ”

"And the Regency will bother you again!" There seemed to be a hint of helplessness in Edward's tone, as if he was reluctant to agree after being persuaded by Bishop Thomas.

"For this matter, my majesty! Please rest assured, after all, His Majesty's personal government is also what the ministers want! ”

Seeing that Edward had agreed, Bishop Thomas smiled slightly, and the folds on his face relaxed a lot.

Having achieved his goal, the Bishop seemed to be much more relieved, and began to discuss Protestantism with Edward.

Of course, for Protestantism, Edward was full of support, following the bishop's words, and slowly cooperating.

Suddenly, the atmosphere in Whitehall Palace was much more harmonious, and even the light rain outside the house was much more lovely.

Three days later, the Duke of Edward, who had returned to London all the way, had not received the news of his deposition, and rode back to the Duke's palace with a spring breeze.

He walked into his mansion with joy, but he was greeted not by the butler, but by the judge of the Star Chamber and the court guards behind him.

"My Excellency, have you been in the wrong place?"

Looking at the judge and his party in front of him, the Duke was not angry, and his originally happy mood instantly turned cloudy.

"I don't think Sir Javier wants to sit under his ass!"

Listening to the Duke in front of him, even Jackson, who had handled a big case, couldn't help but be a little nervous.

Sir Javier is one of the leading justices of the Star Chamber and Jackson's immediate boss, overseeing his promotion.

"Your Excellency, we are under the orders of the Regency Council, and we need your cooperation with us!"

Hearing the words of the little judge in front of him, how could Duke Edward not understand what must have happened during his absence, and he might have lost his position.

"In that case, then, well! I'll talk to my wife first! ”

Duke Edward tried to restrain his emotions and said with a smile.

"Yes! We're waiting for you here! Jackson thought for a moment and agreed.

Glancing at the Star Chamber officials led by Jackson, Duke Edward's usually steady heart trembled uncontrollably.

The Star Chamber was the highest judicial body in England between the 15th and 17th centuries. Founded in 1487 by King Henry VII of England, the court was housed in a hall in the palace of Westminster with a star motif on the roof.

The Star Chamber was founded in 1487 and got its name from a star-shaped hall in the Palace of Westminster.

Together with the British Privy Council and the British High Court, it constitutes the most important autocratic machine in British history. For example, those who know the Ming Dynasty Jinyi Wei know that it has a Beizhen Fusi and has independent judicial power, and this is the case with the Star Chamber Court.

At that time, the Star Chamber was dedicated to punishing nobles who did not serve the king or even plotted rebellion. The members consisted of Privy Council officers, bishops and senior judges, and were directly manipulated by the king.

Its mandate is constantly expanding, and the punishment is very cruel. Before the Revolution, it became an instrument used by the autocratic monarchy to persecute the Puritans. After the outbreak of the bourgeois revolution in England, on July 5, 1641, the Long Parliament passed a resolution abolishing this reactionary body.

Back in the hall, Duke Edward saw his wife, Lady Anne, walking anxiously with a few maids.

"Edward! What's going on? How did the people from the Star Chamber come here? ”

When Lady Anne saw that Duke Edward had returned, she was like finding the backbone, and hurriedly threw out a series of questions.

"Nothing! It's just that your husband has been relieved of the ruling position! Don't worry, just wait for me at home! ”

Duke Edward still likes his wife, Lady Anne, and as a knight's son, Lady Anne's family has been of great help to the Duke.

It can be said that Lady Anne helped Duke Edward get the first pot of gold, and without her, he would not be where he is now.

So even in the face of his younger brother, he didn't back down half a point.

"Edward! Promise me that I will come back safely! "Although she heard the Duke say this, Lady Anne knew that it was not that simple.

With a crying voice, Lady Anne held Duke Edward in her arms and whispered near his ear.
