My British Empire

With Duke Edward's promise, Earl Boswell had an unconcealable smile on his face, and was sent back to the carriage step by step by Duke Edward.

After boarding the carriage, the Earl immediately restrained his smile, and his face suddenly became gloomy.

"Yves! Go home!" The earl's voice came out of the carriage, and Yves, who was waiting for orders, immediately whipped the horses, and the whole carriage started to move quickly again.

The next day, Duke Edward left the Duke's mansion in a well-dressed suit. He did not go to the former supporter and current opponent - the Earl of Wellington's mansion.

Instead, let the coachman drive the carriage to the Earl of Warwick's mansion.

Along the way, Duke Edward struggled unceasingly. It was an embarrassing thing for the face-saving Duke Edward to ask his old opponent for help.

However, the situation in the conference room yesterday was still vivid. Two of his original supporters opposed his conquest of Scotland.

There are also three opponents in Earl Volkeri's team. If he cooperates with those neutral people, his proposal is likely to be dismissed, which is a fatal blow to his prestige.

So even though Duke Edward was embarrassed, he still didn't tell the coachman to turn around, so he slowly arrived at the Earl of Warwick's mansion.

Duke Edward returned to his normal state of mind, and with the help of the coachman, he arrived at the gate of the Earl's Mansion. The sharp-eyed doorman saw the family emblem of the Seymour family on the carriage, and hurried back to the mansion to report.

This time it was the Earl of Warwick who came to the gate in person and greeted His Excellency the Duke with a smile.

"It's God's blessing that His Excellency the Duke actually came to me!"

"You're welcome! Dear Sir, I'm also here on business!" Duke Edward shook his head and said with a wry smile.

"Really? His Excellency Duke Edward, who has been busy with everything, must have something important to come in person!" Earl of Warwick said seriously in front of Duke Edward.

"Then let's go to the study to discuss! My Lord Duke!"

Subsequently, the Duke of Edward and the Earl of Warwick came to his study.

Edward looked at it carefully, and said that it was a study room. In fact, there were not many books, at most a dozen books, and some of them were wrinkled from reading.

"Mr. Earl, there are still many books in my Duke's mansion, and there are even books handed down from Rome describing that ancient oriental country!"

Duke Edward couldn't help being very proud. In terms of knowledge, he still crushed the Earl of Warwick, and his fragile self-esteem suddenly became much stronger.

"My lord duke! It is enough for a soldier like me to read a few books! My life is very leisurely, and I don't have to deal with the big and small things in England like you!"

"You can't say that, the respectable Earl of Warwick must be a man of profound knowledge! This is the tacit fact of all nobles!"

Edward pretended not to understand the earl's complaint, and praised the earl solemnly, with an expression of admiration on his face.

"My lord duke, stop talking nonsense, I am a soldier, if you have something to say, just speak up!"

Earl Walkeri said impatiently, matching his bearded face was indeed in line with the temper that a soldier should have.

"Hehe! A pure soldier will become an earl from a low-level nobleman. You have underestimated the wisdom of the king! Cunning old fox!"

Duke Edward couldn't help sneering in his heart, he didn't believe it at all, but he still had a calm expression on his face.

"Since you said that, let's speak frankly and openly!"

"You can see the results of yesterday's conference room clearly!"

"The ministers who opposed it accounted for half of the entire committee. If you add those who oppose the Holy Church Reform led by the Duke of Houghton, our Holy Church Reform will be overturned!"

Duke Edward understood that the Earl of Warwick, like himself, was a supporter of the reform of the Holy Church, and he would certainly not stand by and watch the results of the reform go to waste.

"Hehe! My lord duke! They seem to be objecting to your plan to send troops to Scotland!" The earl smiled unkindly, then looked at Duke Edward, as if waiting for his explanation.

"Your Excellency, Minister! This time they have the opportunity to cooperate once, and there is no guarantee that they will not cooperate next time. We cannot let them continue like this!"

Duke Edward's words aroused a little worry in Earl Warwick's heart, and a pensive look appeared on the Earl's face.

Duke Edward knew that the Earl of Warwick could not be persuaded to help him by relying on common beliefs alone, so he could only persuade him by profit.

"I can make you the general and deputy chief of the expedition to Scotland. I will propose this appointment after the war proposal is passed."

After Duke Edward said this, he regretted deeply in his heart. After all, if this expedition is successful, not only his prestige will definitely increase. And if the Earl of Warwick is added, the prestige bonus that belongs to him will definitely be greatly reduced.

No matter how unwilling he is, Duke Edward cannot take back what he has said, especially in such a serious discussion occasion.

"Okay! My dear Duke, I will make a decision that truly belongs to the interests of England at tomorrow's meeting!"

After thinking about it, the Earl decided to cooperate with Duke Edward's proposal to continue the reform of the Holy Church. Especially if someone who has nothing to do with me can still get a share of the benefits, then it will be even more irrelevant.

As a result, the atmosphere in the whole room suddenly became harmonious, and the two long-standing rivals began to chat happily. The unknowing people thought it was a reunion of friends who had met for many years when they saw it!

The happy time is always short. In London in this summer, there is still a slight breeze at night, which makes people not only feel a little bit of coolness, especially for the servants who are exposed to the sun during the day, this is a cool time.

The shy moon had already risen into the sky, shining soft moonlight. Even though His Excellency the Duke was completely covered by the bright moonlight, His Excellency the Duke who had just walked out of the study already felt a chill.

Tonight's result is one gain and one loss. My proposal is expected to be passed, but my political enemy, the Earl of Volkeri, is expected to continue to grow. I really don't know whether it is a good thing or a bad thing. Your Excellency the Duke couldn't help thinking.

The Earl of Warwick personally sent Earl Edward to the carriage, and the joyful scene between the host and the guest was immediately deeply imprinted in the minds of the servants present.

When he got into the carriage, Duke Edward was still as indifferent as before, and he was still so personable.

"Go to the Earl of Wellington's Mansion!" Duke Edward's voice interrupted the groom's next movements, and it was particularly loud in the silent night.
