Chapter 77 Undercurrent Surge (3)
Edward had nothing to do with the ergency eting held in London. At this ti, he was receiving his uncle, Baron Thomas Seymour, in his study.
"My uncle, I am sorry for the earl's promise!"
Edward looked at Baron Seymour in front of him, and said with a sincere and guilty tone.
"My lord Edward! It's not your fault, but thanks to my dear brother, the Duke of Sorset!"
Baron Seymour brushed his short hair and smiled slightly. There was a hint of incomprehensibility in his calm tone. In short, Edward felt that the hatred between the two had grown a lot.
After Edward returned to London, he proposed Thomas Seymour as the Earl of Manchester at the Regency Council as promised, but this move was always opposed by the Earl of Warwick and the Duke of Edward.
The Earl of Warwick is worried about the growing power of the Seymour family, but Duke Edward does not know why!
Baron Seymour, who usually dresses like a nouveau riche, is wearing a black uniform with a gold edge today, trimd and neat, giving him a touch of aristocratic temperant, which is a world-shaking change for him.
After all, his wife Catherine Parr was the queen of England and Edward's stepmother.
"Okay! These happy things are over, let's talk about sothing else! Don't know how Aunt Catherine is?"
Edward changed the topic appropriately, and diverted the earl's irritability.
"It's nothing! Catherine is just in a good and bad mood, and the baby in her belly is quite healthy!"
Earl Seymour seed to have thought of sothing, with a warm smile on his face.
"It's such a joy! I think the Seymour family will definitely add a new mber soon!"
"Haha! Thank you for your blessing, Your Majesty the King! I think God will definitely favor Catherine, after all, she is so devout to the Lord!"
The smile on Lord Baron's face couldn't be stopped, as if rembering that he finally had an heir, he finally smiled presumptuously. The long beard is constantly shaking, conveying the joy of his master.
"But having said that, is there any reason why you ca to this ti?"
After talking like this for a few words, Edward also laughed a few tis. Imdiately, he straightened his face and put on a serious expression. For Baron Thomas Seymour, who didn't know much, suddenly ca to visit him. He felt that there must be sothing.
Especially when he left his pregnant wife and traveled a long distance to see him, there will be ghosts if nothing happens!
"Nothing, my lord! This ti I ca here mainly to tell you about the riots in Cheshire!"
The baron was a little unaccustod to this direct way of speaking, blinked his eyes, and said slowly.
"I already know about this!" Edward said the words softly from his mouth, almost causing internal injuries to the baron.
"Please don't misunderstand what I said, I said this for the sake of the royal family!"
"Don't you think that Duke Edward is no longer fit to stay in the ruling position?"
"It was his governnt decree that caused the local Catholic rebellion. It is said that he seized the property of the Catholics and caused this riot. Moreover, he also appointed private persons in the Privy Council, which angered the entire Privy Council. Dissatisfied with him, and so people question his right to govern!"
"What's more, he is usually disrespectful to you! Arbitrarily promulgating governnt orders and abolishing legislation in parliant at will, your majesty has been challenged!"
The baron moved the seat under his buttocks, and shot out accusations against Duke Edward like a machine gun, his face turned crimson.
"Although I know so, but is it really as serious as you said?"
Edward knew in his heart that the two of them would definitely fall out, but he didn't expect it to be so soon. So he quickly put on a naive expression, matching the baron's performance.
"Although I'm not sure, but this is indeed true, my lord!"
"Then... I can't remove Uncle Edward from his position without evidence, so let's do this! Find the evidence first!"
"In this way, the committee mbers can be persuaded to remove Edward's uncle from his post! What do you think?"
Edward's answer almost cut off the possibility of the Lord Baron taking the position, and the Baron beca a little annoyed.
"Your Majesty, these are well-known things, I think you will understand in a few days!"
"I'm leaving first, Your Majesty! I still have things to do!"
The Lord Baron brushed his hair, stood up rudely, and said goodbye to Edward.
Edward got up to see him off, then chuckled, and went to read his book again. No matter what wind is blowing outside, he will still be his fisherman leisurely.
Baron Seymour was full of anger, got into his carriage, and headed towards London.
The next day, the morning sun woke up the drowsy baron, he lifted the car curtain, and breathed the dusty air into his nostrils. He knew that it rained last night.
Among the crowds who ca and went, there were crying children, refugees in ragged clothes, groups of small rchants, and hawkers.
The baron knew that the city of London was close at hand.
"These will be mine from now on!" His lord Baron said softly, and urged the groom to speed up, rushing into the vaguely outlined city of London, without even looking at the passers-by on the side of the road.
The carriage drove around for half an hour, and the baron's carriage stopped in front of the Duke of Houghton's mansion.
Necessary etiquette needless to say, Baron Thomas was welcod in by Duke Holden, and directly closed the living room, leaving only two people whispering inside.
Thomas Parr, Duke of Houghton (there are so many nad Thomas!) is Catherine's uncle, so the baron ca to his mansion to discuss with him.
"Tell ! Thomas, what's the matter with you this ti? You're so nervous!"
The Duke sat on a chair with a neatly combed snow-white beard on his chin, staring at Baron Seymour sitting opposite him.
"Pal! Do you think the current Duke Edward, that is, my brother, is in a safe position?"
Baron Seymour said in a cautious and soft voice, and glanced around.
"My Lord Baron, you don't want to sit in that position, do you? Don't even think about it!"
Looking at Baron Seymour's searching face, Duke Houghton couldn't guess what he was thinking.
Suddenly, the Duke's beard was almost raised in anger, and his voice changed a little.
"Don't even think about it, even if you get him down, there is still the Earl of Warwick below?"
"Do you think you can beat the Earl of Warwick? That's a hungry wolf in sheep's clothing, ready to move at any ti!"
The Duke of Holden did not expect his niece's new husband to have such courage.
