??Seeing this, Edward patted the stupid bear's head and raised the fishing rod. Then the stupid bear turned his head and looked at the river again with his round head.

?? "Your Excellency, I don't know what's important for you to come to see me?" Edward asked softly, fishing alone, without even looking at him, looking at the clear and calm river like a stupid bear.

?? "Your Majesty, I came here this time not on my own will, but on behalf of the nobles. I am asking Your Majesty for mercy!"

??The young Duke looked at the huge body of the stupid bear, then at the immobile body of His Majesty the King, and his calm expression. Then he took a big step, stood five feet away from Edward, and reported.

?? "Oh? Is that so? What happened to those nobles? If there is anything you need to ask your majestic Duke to intercede in person, please tell me!"

??His majesty's yin and yang voice came from his ears, and the young duke was startled, and his right foot unconsciously rubbed against the lawn. He heard from the words that his majesty was very dissatisfied with his arrival.

??However, as the only duke in England and the representative of the entire English aristocracy, he does not have the prestige of his own father, and he cannot convince the nobles simply by relying on his title.

??So, the nobles urged him to come and meet His Majesty in unison. In order to maintain the dignity of the nobles, and also to maintain his position as the leader of the English nobles in his own family, he had to come to meet the king with the cheek.

??As mentioned above in the War of the Roses, the English nobles suffered countless casualties, extinct, extinct, and rebellious, which almost brought a big sweep to the English nobles.

?? Coupled with the lessons learned from the previous dynasty, the two monarchs, Henry VII and Henry VIII, have been suppressing the aristocratic group, forcing this class of nobles who were originally enemies of the king and separated powers to beg for mercy from the king and attach themselves.

??So, when Edward came to the throne, there was only one duke, the real duke, and the court duke was not counted.

??So, as the only duke, the Duke of Norfolk is naturally the natural leader of the nobles.

?? "Why are you begging for mercy?" Edward asked deliberately pretending to be confused.

??The young Duke was a little unaccustomed to His Majesty's shamelessness for a while, and was surprised in his heart.

?? In this regard, he could only bend down respectfully and look at the big fat bear at the pier from time to time with his peripheral vision, and carefully apologized with a smile:

?? "Your Majesty, a while ago, Dark Blade and the Palace Intelligence Service suddenly arrested several barons in broad daylight, do you know?"

?? "I know! What's the matter?" Edward then turned his head, as if it was a matter of course.

??As soon as he finished speaking, the young Duke's expression froze, as if he was constipated, very embarrassed.

?? "Your Majesty, you know that the nobles are the cornerstone of the kingdom. It is out of date to arrest several barons without pronouncing any charges!"

??The Duke of Norfolk looked at His Majesty's flat face, and felt the faint majesty, swallowed his saliva, and could not speak more euphemistically.

?? "Oh! I know what you mean!" Edward looked suddenly enlightened, and when His Excellency the Duke showed a happy expression, he turned around and continued to catch fish.

?? This time, the face of the Duke became even uglier.

?? "Do you want to say that arresting the nobles at will will damage the dignity of the nobles and make them more likely to be dissatisfied, right?"

?? "Yes, Your Majesty, I have exactly that intention!" Your Excellency the Duke quickly agreed.

?? "Then you don't have to worry about it. In a few days, their charges will definitely come out. I am not targeting the nobles, but just targeting them!"

??His Majesty the King quickly threw the fishing rod up, and then pulled it up. The stupid bear knew that it was coming, so he quickly opened his mouth and bit the fishing rod, and pulled it back together.

??His Excellency the Duke at the side also immediately came to help, and soon, a big fish about one foot was jumping around on the grass.

??After working for so long, Edward felt a little excited, and he couldn't help saying to His Excellency the Duke at the side.

And the chubby and fat stupid bear squinted his eyes when he saw it, and spewed out his saliva like the water in the river. Before Edward could react, he rushed straight at lightning speed, a bear rolled, a big fish It was near his mouth, with four cylindrical thighs, he stepped forward quickly, and after a while, he was about ten meters away from Edward.

?? "Damn it, this stupid bear!" Edward reacted, and seeing this appearance, he couldn't help being anxious, and blurted out curse words.

??After seeing the surprised look on the Duke's face, he quickly restrained himself, showing a calm look on his face again.

?? "Your Majesty, since this is the case, I have nothing to say!" The Duke could only sigh in frustration, and said softly.

?? "But, Your Majesty, you must know that the Scottish nobles are unreliable. Only we English nobles are the most powerful pillars of the royal family!"

?? After saying these words, the young Duke bid farewell to His Majesty the King, ending the journey of meeting.

?? Our King, however, is thinking about his last words.

??The so-called English nobility and Scottish nobility are just two groups of nobility in the Kingdom of Britain.

??Although Scottish and English nobles sometimes marry, in the final analysis, one is a Kate and the other is an Anglo-Saxon, and the culture and language are different.

??With the establishment of the United Kingdom, and under the intentional or unconscious promotion of His Majesty the King, many Scottish nobles began to settle in London and came to the bustling city of London.

??As the saying goes, shallow water is too much.

??In the past, London and the court naturally seemed affluent for the English nobles alone.

??But the migration of the Scottish nobles made the city of London extraordinarily noisy.

??And, with the establishment of the United Kingdom, the power of the central government is also sought after by many nobles.

??However, the positions of the central government are limited, and the two factions naturally compete.

??The two factions of nobles naturally became dirty.

?? After all, as a member of parliament with nothing to do, there are no central government officials.

??The English nobles occupy a favorable location. After all, His Majesty the King is surrounded by English nobles all day long, which is a great advantage.

??And the Scottish nobles have just migrated here, and they are not familiar with the place of life.

??However, the Scottish nobles occupy the majority of the people. There are at least a few hundred nobles, while the English nobles only have dozens of families. The gap is too big.

?? But generally speaking, the power of the two factions of nobles is still balanced, and His Majesty the King is also willing to fight between the two factions, so as to benefit from it.

??The Duke's words hit Edward's point directly.
