The familiar United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland and the current Kingdom of England are two different things.

The Kingdom of England once had a large territory in France, and even became the king of France, great kings such as Richard the Lionheart, whose exploits were obtained on the mainland, the center of gravity of England has always been on the mainland, and the Kingdom of England during this period has not even unified the British Isles, and the Scots in the north will harass the Kingdom of England every year, making them annoying.

The church in England was originally relatively independent, due to the long distance, England was not very rich, and the royal family has always wanted to control such a rich unit as the church, but the cost of moving the church is too great to move.

"Your Royal Highness Regent, this is a good opportunity, as long as we have the support of the church, we will have money."

Sals looked excited, this war came too at a good time.

The current king of England, Henry VI, suffered from intermittent psychosis and lost only Calais of the French territory that his father Henry V had gained in the Hundred Years' War, and his reputation at home has always been bad, and Richard of the House of York became the chief regent of the Regency Council.

The House of York and Henry VI's House of Lancaster are of the same origin, and the earlier Duke of Lancaster was the cousin of the King of England, so Richard of the House of York has the right to inherit the throne of England.

And now Henry VI is even more mentally unstable, so no one dares to put Henry VI in power, because you never know if he was awake when he made decisions.

Richard is not without political ambitions, he has already become a regent, as long as he has the ability, no one does not want to go further,

However, Henry VI was weak and incompetent, but he had a good wife, and his wife, Marguerite of the House of Anjou, was a tough man who rivaled Richard at the court and tried to expel him from the political center and seize power.

Henry VI is the king who has been recognized by the Holy See in orthodoxy, and the entire royalist party is naturally on the side of the Holy See.

Coincidentally, the Church of England has long been dissatisfied with the Holy See's fingers, and this time the Holy See asked the Church of England to come to the aid of the Holy See, which greatly damaged the interests of the Church, and there were already calls for leaving the Holy See.

"Yes, the Archbishop of Canterberland has agreed to secede from the Holy See, this is a fact that everyone knows, we can exchange terms with him, and after the deed is done, the Church of England will leave the Holy See, and they will support us in the ascendancy, isn't it a good thing for everyone?"

Another confidant, Warwick, also worked with Sals to persuade Richard, and both were active in the matter.

said it was a cronie, but Warwick and Richard were nominally equal, Warwick was an important figure in the Lancaster family, but he was very dissatisfied with Henry VI's weakness, so he agreed to Richard's request for an alliance,

In order to weaken the king's power, the two blamed Somerset for the defeat at the Battle of Castillon to the French, impeached each other in parliament, and imprisoned Somerset, the de facto head of the Lancastrian aristocracy, in the Tower of London.

"The Duke of Gloucester is a nerd and has little influence in the Regency Council, Somerset is imprisoned, Elbert has just been killed in battle, and now who else in the country can stop you from ascending to the throne?"

"What's more, now that the Lower Council has been controlled by us, although the Upper Council is still the territory of the Lancastrian nobility, they have no leader and have no way to compete with us, and there are so many veterans who have fought in the country, it is a good time for us to raise troops."

Richard pondered, originally Henry VI died, if there were no heirs, Richard could inherit England directly, but no one expected that Henry VI would actually make Margaret pregnant before he went insane, and the birth of Prince Edward completely destroyed Richard's ambition to inherit England peacefully.

"Okay, when the interruption continues, but the chaos is followed, we will be..."

Before he could finish speaking, a hurried attendant made him hold the words back into his throat,

"Your Highness... Your Highness, Your Majesty Henry, the Chief Medical Officer of the Royal Family has also verified, and now Your Majesty is preparing to go to the Tower of London! ”

Richard's eyes widened, and Warwick and Sals next to him also looked at each other, at a loss.

Fate really likes to joke with Richard, and finally made up his mind to rebel, but Henry VI actually recovered, which was a big blow to Richard, and he was wondering if God had appeared, how could everything not go well.

"Go to the Tower of London first, the rest depends on the situation."

Richard dropped such a sentence and went straight to the Tower of London,

"It's... What should we do? ”

Sals was a little confused and asked Warwick,

"What else to do? Let's go, let's follow. ”

Warwick sighed, took a few quick steps, and caught up with Richard,

"Alas, you wait for me!"

Sals trotted into the carriage, and in a few moments the three of them reached the Tower of London.

……

"you, is that what I said? Aren't you also called Tinghuan? ”

"I'm here to cooperate with you, why don't you know good people's hearts?"

Sals and Warwick pushed and shoved out of the carriage, and when they got out of the carriage, they saw Richard and Henry VI talking.

"Your Majesty, are you alright?"

Sals's voice was loud, and he shouted from afar,

"What are you talking about, you crow's mouth."

Warwick kicked Sals in the ass, and he rubbed it, unconcerned, muttering,

"I just feel a little weird, I haven't heard that I can recover from madness."

"I'm fine, thank you for your concern."

Henry VI was still very pale and a little weak, and the servants had obviously not taken good care of him when he had been sick before.

"Yo Yo Yo, isn't this Lord Governor Calais? Still alive? You don't want to kill yourself? ”

Sals looked at the man next to Henry VI with a playful expression, and the man stared at Richard with a gloomy face, without even looking at Sals, only taking Sals's words as a deaf ear.

"I can really pretend, just like you, I don't feel dirty when I kiss my ass."

Sals was bored with himself, so he stopped targeting Somerset.

"It's good to hear that during the time I've been sick, you, as the regent of the country, have brought stability to the country."

Ignoring the squufflers between Sals and Somerset, Henry VI reluctantly smiled and patted Richard on the shoulder.

"This is what I should do, as a nobleman, I should do whatever I have."

Richard bowed his head slightly, indicating his obedience.

Henry VI was pleased with this and chuckled,

"Alright, now that you've seen me, you can go back."

Henry VI was about to leave with Somerset, when Richard stopped him,

"Your Majesty..."

Henry VI looked back in confusion,

"Your Majesty, Somerset's decision to imprison is made by the House of Commons, and even as a king, you need to respect the decision of the House of Commons."

Hearing Richard say this, Henry VI hesitated a little, and then looked at Somerset, helplessly, Somerset stood up alone,

He sneered, and his disdain could be heard,

"Who in England as a whole does not know that the House of Commons is already a lackey of your York family? Do the resolutions they make count? ”

This time it was Richard's turn not to look at Somerset, and his eyes did not take away from Henry VI for a moment, and he said word by word,

"Your Majesty, do you want to go to war with the House of Commons?"

Somerset only felt a strong sense of humiliation rushing to his head, and for a moment he felt a little dizzy.

"No... No... Richard, you're mistaken, I didn't mean that. ”

Henry VI hurriedly waved his hand, even though he was weak and it was early spring weather, he was sweating profusely.

"Richard, what's the matter you're coming at me, the House of Commons is amazing, isn't it?"

Somerset paused for a moment, and then whispered angrily,

"The House of Lords won't allow you to mess around."

The House of Lords is the territory of the Lancastrian aristocracy, and it was impossible for the York family to compete with the Lancaster family, but Henry VI did make frequent tricks and ruined the popularity of the Lancaster family.

So by now, that is, the House of Lords is still in the hands of the Lancastrian aristocracy, and the House of Commons has been basically lost.

During this period, the House of Lords was a big noble, a clergyman, a member of the royal family, etc., and the House of Commons was a number of small nobles, businessmen, and the like, and the House of Commons was mutually contained, which was recognized in the "Oxford Regulations", and relatively speaking, the House of Commons had more power, but if you really compare the two of them, it can only be said to be between the two of them.

"The House of Lords? Even the House of Lords cannot ignore the decisions of the House of Commons. ”

Richard's face was expressionless, Somerset definitely couldn't let it out, he was the best at doing things, let him go, I don't know what will happen.

Somerset was about to retort, when another carriage came slowly, and a priest got out of the carriage.

"Your Majesty the King, Lord Richard, Lord Somerset,"

First greeted a few people, and no matter what their reaction, he took out a parchment roll from his arms,

"This is an amnesty decree issued by the House of Lords, Lord Somerset, you are free."

The pardon was handed to Somerset, and soon the priest left the place, perhaps sensing that something was not quite right.

Somerset triumphant,

"What? Will Lord Richard still stop me? ”

Richard's face was gloomy, and Sals, who was beside him, directly pulled out the sword at his waist,

"Villain, I'll kill you!!"

After speaking, he was about to stab Somerset with his sword, but was stopped by Warwick.

"What are you doing, pay attention to your identity."

Warwick whispered, dragging the struggling Sals away from the scene.
