Chapter 323 Disposal (Part 2)
ps: Ask for tickets, ask for recommendations
Finally, our Lord Earl reluctantly nodded in agreement, and the atmosphere of the whole banquet suddenly condensed in an instant.
The priests were fine, they ate and drank as usual, as if they hadn’t heard anything, their expressions remained the same.
But the nobles are different, stunned, surprised, even angry, and so on.
It’s no wonder that, apart from the Earl of Arran who is far away in Edinburgh, the current Earl of Argyle is the best representative of the nobility, and he needs to pay attention to his words and deeds.
Fortunately, most people knew what kind of place this was, and they were holding back forcibly. As for those who had a bad temper, they had already been forcibly pressed down by their companions.
"This—" A young nobleman at the corner just wanted to stand up, but a friend around him held him down, making him unable to break free.
"Patience!" Looking back, the friend looked anxious, "Don't you know? Last year, a fool was impulsively killed and buried alive. I don't want to attend your funeral!"
As he spoke, he seemed to think of the unlucky ghost who was buried alive last year, and his face suddenly turned pale.
Hearing what his friend said, the complexion on the nobleman's face was beyond words, and he could only sit down silently in desperation.
Turning around, Earl Argyle had a solemn expression on his face and lowered eyelids, as if he was thinking about something.
However, Edward still watched with a smile, as if waiting for the good news, but, as time went by, his smile became colder and colder!
Of course our Lord Earl knew this. The moment Edward's face turned cold, he raised his head with a bright smile.
"Of course, my lord!" Earl Argyle said respectfully, leaning slightly.
"You are the king of Scotland and the agent of the world. It is our duty to obey your orders!"
Although Earl Argyle's flattery was very low, Edward nodded in satisfaction after hearing it in Edward's ears, and smiled happily.
"Since everyone hopes for peace so much, from today onwards, there will be no more wars in Scotland. May the Lord bless Scotland!"
There was a hint of a smile in Edward's eyes, and then he cast his eyes very forcefully on the rest of the nobles sitting upright, and blessed loudly.
"May the Lord bless Scotland!"
The nobles and bishops also stood up in unison, bowing their heads and praying loudly.
The Scottish nobles finally accepted the reality—Edward thought with relief.
Next, even though Edward took the Earl of Argyll, the Earl of Lannox, Archbishop David Beaton, and Bishop Blanche out to discuss matters, the atmosphere in the hall was still silent, too quiet.
Here, Edward brought the representatives of the nobles and the church to another small tent and started a discussion. This is a meeting that will determine the next ten years of Scotland.
"Your Excellency, since you have agreed to shake hands with the church and ask for peace, then just say what you want!"
Edward sat on the main seat alone, and then glanced at everyone who followed, and finally set his sights on the Earl of Argyle.
"Your Majesty, although we are willing to reconcile with the church, we have already spent a lot of money and material resources in order to protect the faith of our Lord, and we need the church to make up for it one by one!"
Earl Argyle glanced at Edward lightly, and then immediately turned his gaze to Bishop Blanche, who looked radiant.
"Your Excellency, what is the condition?"
"This—" Bishop Blanche briefly glanced at Edward on the main seat, and after seeing him blinking slightly, he immediately said decisively.
"Of course, these are our faults, and we should pay for them!"
Hearing this, Earl Argyle had a hint of joy on his face, waiting for the second half of his sentence.
"However, we can give up to 10,000 pounds as compensation. The recent war has already consumed our savings. This is the only money we have left!"
As he spoke, Bishop Blanche showed a bitter smile, as much aggrieved as he wanted.
The faces of the Earl of Argyll, the Earl of Lannox, and the Bishop of Beaton immediately turned blue, which was extremely ugly.
"Hehe! My lord bishop, your sincerity makes me unacceptable!"
When Argyle heard such a small number, his heart was immediately filled with anger.
Just his own family, because of this war, has already consumed close to 5,000 pounds. This does not include the manpower summoned. The church property that was originally swallowed up has been completely vomited out, and a lot of losses have been paid.
Seeing this, Edward interjected very calmly.
"Your Excellency, if there are no gold coins, then sell some church property to them!"
"Yes, Your Majesty!" Bishop Blanche agreed with some grievances.
"Then, transfer the three floors of the teaching property to the nobles as compensation, and I will get the remaining three floors, and you can keep the remaining four floors!"
Edward pretended to think about it, and then said loudly.
The nobleman on the side gritted his teeth in hatred, but still had a calm look on his face.
No wonder they are like this. In the agreement between Edward and them last year, the seventh floor belongs to them, and the third floor belongs to the king.
But this time, the seventh floor became three floors, and the remaining four floors were still in the hands of the church. Although they had seized some land before, these three floors still could not satisfy them.
Next, several nobles and Bishop Blanche made a detailed division of the three-tier church property, including land and shops.
After that, Edward made the following agreement with the three nobles and a bishop!
Article 1: All Scottish nobles and Scottish people unconditionally accept the descendants of His Majesty Edward VI and Mary as heirs to the throne, and are loyal to their designated heirs to the throne...
This article is to reaffirm the royal family's inheritance rights, as well as Edward's own legal rights.
Article 2: His Majesty Edward and Mary have the right to appoint bishops in all parts of Scotland, and shall not accept orders from Rome or anyone...
(This article is to return the religious power in various places to the kingship and strengthen the control over the church)
Third: Any case involving an amount of ten shillings or more must be submitted to the royal court established by His Majesty the King for trial, and no one may interfere or obstruct...
(This one is to imitate Henry VII, start with the judiciary, gradually transfer the rights in the hands of the nobles, and make it easier to accept!)
Fourth: Scotland will no longer accept any teachings and metaphors from Rome, and will fully support the teachings of Anglicanism, return to the true embrace of our Lord, and determine His Majesty Edward and His Majesty Mary as the only leaders, extending to other Heir…
Fifth: Any person or organization against the royal family shall not appear in Scotland, and those who violate it will be charged with treason...
Sixth: Nobles, churches, and even individuals are not allowed to have private soldiers exceeding the following regulations, and noble private soldiers are not allowed to own flames and crossbows. Violators will be punished with treason
Earl: five hundred men,
Viscount: 300 people
Baron: two hundred
Jazz, Cavaliers: within 100 players
Individual: less than 50 people
(Scotland’s standards are much happier and more relaxed than those of England’s nobles, and the nobles hesitated for a while before agreeing. The main reason is that they usually don’t have that much money to maintain these regulations. number.)
Seventh: Scotland establishes a national army, the army personnel come from various nobles, each noble needs to hand over half of his private soldiers to the country, and the leader is the King of Scotland, and only half of the military expenditure is required.
Eighth: All nobles should and must live in London for six months and attend four meetings of the House of Lords. If the standards are not met, fines will be imposed, and if serious, the title will be reduced.
Ninth: Scottish nobles only need to pay half of the tax of ordinary people, but they must be loyal to His Majesty the King.
Tenth: Scottish merchants do not need to pay customs duties when goods enter and exit England, and enjoy the same standards as ordinary Englishmen.
Eleventh: Scotland no longer uses Latin, but English.
Twelfth: Scotland no longer adopts its own currency and weights and measures, but adopts the same standards as England.
Thirteenth: No one in Scotland may insult His Majesty the King, or damage the reputation of the King, and offenders shall be punished accordingly.
Fourteenth: The Scottish nobles should follow the tradition and obey the king's orders when they should, and dispatch the necessary troops to follow and help.
Fifteenth: Any noble must go to the Bureau of Heralds to register, and no nobles who have not registered will not be recognized.
...
A total of twenty-five items, these are the pillars, or the framework, of Edward's control of Scotland. In a few years, there will be no mistakes!
