Section 150 Perth Palace Petition (II)

"Your Majesty, your actions have gone too far, and will provoke the anger of the people. "The first to speak was the Duke of Medici.

The royal hall of Perth Palace was crowded at this time, and at least half of the legislators came with righteous indignation, making the originally spacious royal hall seem cramped and crowded, and some councillors even had to stay outside the palace.

The Duke of Medici, and now the Lords, were certainly not really angry at the dead and wounded on the Long Street, they were because of the imprisoned Benjamin and Austin, or more truly, for themselves.

Benjamin was a cabinet minister, and Austin was a hereditary member of the Lord, and they were both nobles, of great aristocratic origin.

Yes, they used to be kings, and both individuals and families followed in Edward's footsteps, and the Medici and the other two dukes, as well as the nobles who followed the three dukes, hated them and even cursed them.

But the immediate stakes were the same, so that the three dukes and more noble parliamentarians had to come to Perth Palace.

Benjamin and Osteen staged such a farce of petitions and marches in order to protect their property from being encroached upon by the church, and most of the councillors faced this problem, did they really listen to Margaret's words and obediently return a qiē to the Church of Light?

Of course not, so there may be something wrong with Benjamin and Austin's approach, but the original intention is definitely in the interests of the majority of nobles, who are united with both the dukes and the supporters of the royal party.

What is even more shocking is that Margaret went so far as to send two nobles to prison, one of whom was her cabinet minister, although Benjamin's position was relatively less important in the cabinet.

If other people watch this happen and don't stop it. Then it is difficult to guarantee that Her Majesty will be more free in the future. One day, she sent the minister who angered her to prison.

Even the Medici, Bourbon, and Byron could not ignore this sign. The woman who was now seated on the throne was not as weighed and tempered as her father, nor was she as intelligent as her dead brother.

She is ruling the country in a woman's way, willful and stingy, if one day she really makes a move that ignores the rules of government, will the dukes obediently go to prison for a few days, or are they ready to resist?

It's a headache, and if she's not the Queen of Asturias, it's easy to solve.

"It's me who should be angry!" said to the nobles who came to reason. Margaret is undaunted, and after Benjamin and Osteen are imprisoned, she grows bolder.

She looked at these nobles in front of her with contempt, there was nothing to be afraid of, with Freyas and the army, as well as the support of the Church of Light, she didn't need to worry about anything.

"Benjamin and Austin tried to coerce the king, and I was very merciful that I did not kill them. ”

"Your Majesty, the old minister dares to guarantee that the two of them have absolutely no coercive intentions. Both the Disraeli and the Childs were loyal to the Norman family and the kingdom from Edward's Majesty. "It was the old courtier Mansfil who spoke.

"Whether they have this kind of mind or not, in short, teach them a lesson. Sober them up. Seeing that it was Edward's old courtier who spoke, Margaret finally suppressed her anger.

But soon she was angered by the dukes, "Your Majesty, you should not have sent Benjamin and Osteen to prison casually, they are loyal courtiers with noble blood, and you are showing contempt for the dignity of the council." The Duke of Byron said righteously.

Margaret's face suddenly turned blue, and she screamed, her face crimson like a woman who had been robbed of her boyfriend.

"Shut up, I haven't settled accounts with you people, but I've been taught a lesson one by one. I demand a decision on the tax increase, when will you be able to get guò!"

"Your Majesty, it is not feasible to raise taxes, whether it is nobles, lords, or commoners, they need to recuperate now, and we can hardly afford to raise taxes, which will cause riots. The Duke of Medici stepped forward.

"You won't support me under any pretext. Margaret sneered, "Forget it, I don't bother with you, and if you insist on doing so, then I don't need your help so much." ”

"Is Your Majesty planning to continue borrowing money from the Church of Light?" said Duke Bourbon with a frown.

"Of course, although you will not obey the decree of the tax increase, the church will help me. Of course, in order to thank them for their help, you should also return to the church the property that was confiscated before, as I did. ”

"It can't be!"

"Your Majesty, you're plundering. ”

"This is the act of robbers. ”

"Your Majesty, if you do this, the council will never agree, and tomorrow we will convene a council to make a statement rejecting this order of yours. The Duke of Medici said in a deep voice.

"If you dare to do this, then I will continue to veto your decrees, and I will use my veto power to veto any of your resolutions that come to me. Margaret felt enraged.

"Then we will continue to pass the decree again and again until His Majesty agrees. ”

Margaret felt that she was completely enraged, she took a deep breath, and said without hesitation: "I will announce now, dissolve the council!"

The palace fell silent, and everyone looked at Margaret blankly, including Freas, stunned.

"Your Majesty, you can't do that. Regina couldn't help but speak, he didn't want to oppose Her Majesty the Queen head-on, she was Edward's daughter, the current most orthodox heir to the throne, and something that undermined her authority, Regina didn't want to be self-inflicted.

But just now, the confrontation between Margaret and the nobles has reached its peak step by step, and if she is not stopped, it will cause a catastrophe.

But in a fit of rage, Margaret stopped giving face to Edward's most loyal old courtier, and she turned her head and glared at Regina angrily, "Old man, you are still too embarrassed to stop me, it is because of your incompetence that I am so embarrassed." “

Regina's mouth opened, and Margaret's words struck his heart like thunderbolt, leaving his mind blank.

Margaret ignored him any longer, her face was hideous, but with a little pleasure, she said, "I officially announce the dissolution of the council. ”

Most of the nobles in the hall were stunned, and she really dissolved the council?

Even Edward had never done this, although the original charter king of China had this power, but with Edward's cleverness and power, he deeply understood that this power was a double-edged sword.

But his daughter, Queen Margaret, did just that.

"What now?" the Duke of Byron asked in a low voice to the other two dukes, recognizing himself from his shock.

"There was a person here who didn't come. The Duke of Medici looked around, "We're going to look for him now, and now we can only get into one boat." ”

"But he will blackmail us. The Duke of Bourbon said worriedly.

"Even if it's a demon, I'll have to talk about it now. "And that man is a clever man, and he may not offer a condition of cooperation that is totally unacceptable to us." ”――

The stock exchange in Saint-Quentin was in a state of madness and chaos again.

The numbers on the quote board are constantly erased and new numbers are written lower.

With the development of the exchange, specialized traders have begun to appear, but now these traders wearing red horse jackets are all sweating and ugly.

They certainly did not become so because of frequent operations, but because of the plummeting stock price.

Since a few days ago, after the news broke that Her Majesty the Queen had asked for the return of the church property to the Church of Light, the stock price has continued to fall.

There are already more than 20 kinds of stocks listed, and some of them are just listed companies that are involved in teaching property, and if they really want to be returned, the assets of those companies will shrink by a part.

The news caused panic, but it was not fully confirmed.

This morning, when there was a petition to Perth Palace, the stock price recovered for a while.

But when the Perth Palace tragedy came, the stock price immediately dived.

But this is not the most terrible time, the most terrible time is when the news of the dissolution of the parliament came by Her Majesty the Queen, the whole exchange seemed to stagnate for a moment, and then the stock price can no longer be described as a dive, but as a metaphor for a falling waterfall.

Including the shares of Fadell Pioneer Ltd., this kind of market optimism has collapsed.

More than 60 percent of the stocks listed today are sought after only by having franchises, and these franchises are often supported by people.

Even the parliament has been dissolved, and it is difficult to say whether Her Majesty the Queen will be crazy enough to tear up the agreement and take back these franchises ahead of schedule, and if so, the gains on some of the stocks will be in vain.

Compared with this, the impact of the return of education property on these listed companies is still secondary.

"How so, President, shall we contact Marquis Solomon at once and see what should be done?" said Derek eagerly to Kindleburke.

For more than a year, he and Kindlebo have managed to maintain and develop the stock market, and have cultivated what was born by chance into what it is now.

At present, the stock market has opened a separate trading hall in the commodity exchange, and there are more than 20 stocks issued.

The previous plan of Derek and Kindle Burke was for exchanges to work with banks. When a stock is ready to be listed, they offer customers three ways to find a bank to underwrite it all, partially underwrite, or only sell it on behalf of the bank, so as to share the issue commission with the bank, and they can also use the difference between the underwriting price and the listing price to make another profit.

With the success of listed companies, commodity exchanges have gained a huge reputation, and the old businessmen are now less able to compete with them, and Derry I and Kindle Burke have skyrocketed in both wealth and reputation.

Such a good momentum of development made both of them a little fluttering.

But the Queen's confrontation with the nobles became more and more intense, until now after the Perth Palace petition and the dissolution of Parliament, which was a blow to the head.

At this time, they also remembered the Marquis Solomon. (To be continued......)
