My British Empire

Chapter 29 The Speech in the House of Lords

As soon as Grenville's words fell, Elizabeth lowered her head, and her face suddenly turned pale like a thread, which was particularly distressing.

"Damn! So precocious, I thought he was a 30-year-old uncle?" Grenville's words fell into Edward's ears, and he couldn't help complaining in his heart.

Leaving aside the issue of age, Edward didn't notice the change in Elizabeth's face, but was just thinking about recruiting Grenville.

Now the solicitation is too straightforward, and it is embarrassing that Edward does not have the slightest right to appoint anyone around the Regency Council, so Edward decided to build his own team two years later when he really exercised his rights.

By the way, observe whether there are any outstanding talents in the next two years, and then compare them to see who is most suitable for the position of secretary of state.

After thinking for a while, Edward finally saw his elder sister Elizabeth's pale face, and her white and tender skin became as pale as a vampire.

"Elizabeth! Are you okay!" Edward hurriedly got up, came to Elizabeth's side, and shook her gently with his hand.

"It's okay, Edward! I'm just a little uncomfortable!" Elizabeth regained her composure and said to Edward.

"Lucy, hurry up and help Her Royal Highness back to the room, and then call Your Excellency Fitch Ralph to see Her Royal Highness!" Edward commanded Lucy anxiously, the anxiety in his heart was fully revealed on his face, and he could no longer maintain the status of nobleman. A calm look.

"It's all right, Edward! Don't bother Mr. Ralph!" Elizabeth was stunned by Edward's appearance, and there was a slight warmth in her heart, and she was very moved by her brother's concern.

Hearing that Elizabeth said it was all right, Edward thought that Elizabeth's pale face was caused by the woman's monthly best friend arriving and losing too much blood, and he was relieved immediately.

"Then, Lucy! Take Her Royal Highness back to her room to rest, and prepare some brown sugar water for her!" Edward then ordered to Lucy, using what he didn't know much about.

"Mr. Richard! I'm sorry, I'm sorry!" Elizabeth said to Grenville when she was helped away by Lucy.

"It's okay! You go to rest first, a beautiful lady is not beautiful if she is sick!" Grenville joked at the right time, which eased Elizabeth's mood.

"Mr. Richard is not only a wise and brave knight, but also a humorous gentleman!" Elizabeth was supported by Lucy to the bedroom, and she couldn't help thinking of Grenville on the way. The more I thought about it, the more flushed my face became.

"Mr. Knight, when are you going to leave tomorrow?" Edward asked about Grenville's itinerary.

"I'm going to leave tomorrow morning, thank you for your hospitality, you are such a generous nobleman!" Grenville couldn't help but sigh.

The next morning, Grenville took the clothes and ten-pound gold coins presented by Edward, led his big black horse, and stood upright in front of the gate of Windsor Manor, looking extraordinarily heroic.

Elizabeth changed into a white dress with lace trim, and stood at the door in a pretty way, seeing off Grenville with Edward.

"Goodbye! Your Excellency the Baron, and the lovely Miss Elizabeth!" Grenville turned over beautifully, and immediately rode on the back of the big black horse.

Arthur appeared suddenly at some point, and spat at the big black horse under Grenville's crotch, and Harry, the big dark horse, spat at each other not to be outdone. The big black horse was taller than Arthur, so all of Arthur's saliva sprayed on the big black horse's legs, and the big black horse's saliva sprayed directly on Arthur's horse's face. Obviously, Arthur lost.

Arthur stood behind Edward with an aggrieved expression, pushing him, wanting Edward to avenge him. Edward didn't bother to care about it, and slapped its buttocks. Suddenly, Arthur fell silent.

"Hey! Dude! When you come to London later, we'll entertain you and let you taste what real good wine is!" The big man Sean's voice was extraordinarily loud, and it sounded like thunder in Edward's ears. Edward's eardrum hurts.

Sean and Grenville didn't know each other, and they became good friends immediately within less than a day.

"There will be such a day, buddy! Next time we meet, I hope you can beat me once! Hahaha!" Grenville walked a little farther, turned around and shouted at Sean.

"Damn it, you won't have such good luck next time, I will definitely beat you so hard that you dare not get on the horse!" Sean shouted at Grenville angrily, and the people around him quickly covered their ears, He looked terrified.

And Edward had a foresight long ago, and hurriedly covered his ears the moment Grenville replied, protecting his ears best.

At this time, in the House of Lords in London, Edward's uncle, His Excellency Edward Seymour, Duke of Somerset, was standing in the speech position of the House of Lords, explaining his proposal.

"Dear members of parliament, distinguished nobles, I am here to solve a problem that the previous king has always wanted to solve!" The Duke of Somerset also knew to move out Henry VIII to gain the support of nobles loyal to the royal family.

"We have always known that the heretics of the Catholic Church headed by the greedy Pope in Rome have not only betrayed God's original ideas, but have always wanted to control every move of our England!"

"They are judging the people of England with heresy ideas that betray God! How dare they openly violate the laws of England and the wishes of the entire English people!"

"The behavior of the heretics in Rome not only needs to be stopped, but also corrected, so that the servants of God can return to God's side!"

"Gentlemen! Let us treat God with reverence!"

"So, let's act!"

"Crack! Crack! Crack..." The Duke of Somerset's speech received unanimous applause from the MPs below, and the nobles recognized his idea.

Immediately afterwards, the members of parliament abolished the "Treason Law", "Heretic Law", and "Six Articles of Faith" with Catholic overtones.

Treason Law is a new law established by Henry VIII through Parliament in 1534. It stipulates that anyone who slanders the king as a heretic, schismatic, tyrant, etc. by speech, writing, or actions does not recognize the king as the head of the church and denies the king. Anyone who is legally married is treason and punishable by death.

Heresy laws were Henry VIII's statutes dealing with other denominations in England, including Catholicism, and Protestantism, including Lutheranism.

The Six Articles of Faith was a product of Henry VIII's dealing with the bourgeoisie.

The spread of emerging bourgeois ideas and the awakening of the lower classes made Henry VIII terrified that further reforms would endanger his rule. In 1539, he personally presided over the formulation of the "Six Creeds Law", which stipulated that the main Catholic teachings and ceremonies such as the Trinity, Incarnation, Mass, Confession, and priestly celibacy must be followed, and those who violated it would be punished with death.

Once Edward Seymour's bill was passed, the ideological authoritarian atmosphere from the later period of Henry VIII disappeared, and the period of religious tolerance came.
