Chapter 227 Suspension of Reform
ps: At the beginning of the month, ask for tickets, ask for subscription
I saw him standing up angrily, his eyes seemed to be bursting with anger, his mouth was opened wide when he spoke, his chin was raised high, and his two **** nostrils could almost be seen.
Everyone was shocked by his anger for a while, and then everyone seemed to have a deep understanding, showing suddenly realized expressions.
As the most important members of the Privy Council, how could they not know that some local governments resisted and delayed various central government orders.
As the speaker of the Privy Council, Faris Alexander not only needs to send people to communicate with the local counties, but also writes and communicates non-stop every day.
In the face of His Majesty the king's reforms and government orders, he was pressed like a mountain, forcing him to use more energy and triumphantly.
So, facing the duties of the king, Faris's long-term irritability was thrown to the place, so as to reduce the pain in his heart.
"Your Majesty, please deal severely with local officials who resist the central government!"
The more Faris thought about it, the more angry he became, his face flushed, and he bent down and saluted Edward.
"Your Majesty, Your Excellency the Speaker is right, it should indeed be dealt with!"
Then, former Secretary of State Don Francis also swiped, stood up, and saluted Edward.
As the Minister of the Privy Council who communicated with the circuit court, did he know how corrupt the place has been in the past three years.
Edward glanced at the two of them, staying on their big, sincere faces, with a pensive expression on their faces.
"You are right. Since 1546, I have not intervened too much in the local area. Some people from major local committees have been in office for a long time!"
"They have been sitting there for too long. I am afraid that some counties have become their basic bases, and they can't even pour water in. They are also dismissive of my orders!"
Once Edward was reminded by them, he realized that since he took power, he has been busy with central reform and Scottish affairs, or it was the pilot project in London, and he really didn't have too many scruples about the locality.
Except for the routine evacuation and changing of the sheriff every year, there is almost no intervention. The English have not felt the majesty of the royal family for a long time.
During the period of Henry VII and Henry VIII, one was the founding monarch, and the other used war and religious reform to shape the majesty of the king among the people.
England, and even Europe.
The prestige of the king determines the power of the king.
So, Edward originally saw that the reform of the central government was so smooth, so he decided to follow the example of the gourd and make a local reform.
Now it seems that he is still too naive.
The central government is just the palm of the kings of all dynasties. He can change it as he wants. The local nobles and gentlemen don't care about it. As long as their interests are not offended, it has nothing to do with them.
And if he carries out local reforms in spite of everything, the local resistance will be much stronger. I am afraid that this reform will only end in premature failure.
Seeing this, Edward could only swallow the reform plan that Edward had held back all night.
So, in the eyes of Faris and others, the young His Majesty the King's face was a little red at this time, and there was an angry rhythm.
As a result, Faris and others couldn't help but feel happy. It seems that His Majesty the King has decided to clean up those who don't understand the rules.
"Your Majesty, the behavior of the counties in various places is not only provoking our central government, but provoking you!"
Seeing such a situation, Faris didn’t know the truth of striking while the iron is hot, and said hurriedly.
"If things go on like this, I'm afraid that the local majesty of the royal family will be destroyed!"
Faris looked at the king in front of him sincerely, with a hint of tremor in his words, revealing the appearance of a loyal minister.
Hearing what Faris said, Edward would not believe it all.
The majesty of the Tudor royal family is not so easily destroyed, but it is not in line with Edward's intention to be occupied by those gentlemen in this way.
England can only have one ruler, and that is the King of England.
The local gentry groups are usurping the king's rights. If the king betrays their interests, they can always form a coalition to rebel against the king.
For example, the Derby family in Lancashire, the Barnadiston family in Suffolk County, and the Sheriff’s Committee in the county are almost all members of their families. It can be said that half of the power in the county is firmly in the hands of their families.
This means that what they say in the county is more useful than the king, just like a small family during the Southern and Northern Dynasties.
And Faris’s behavior was not just because of righteous indignation, but the deep-seated word was rights.
The reform of the central power organization has made the Privy Council the most powerful department in the central government, and he has become an unprecedented one under one person and above ten thousand people.
Even if he can only guide the affairs of the London area now, it is much better than he just revolved around the king as before.
Once people experience the taste of power, they will be addicted to it and cannot stop.
So, this time, Faris smelled this breath, and immediately began to attack the place without hesitation.
"Yes! Your Majesty, this is the greatest insult to you and the royal family!"
Several other people also reacted, this is a good opportunity for them to expand their rights.
So, the few of them also looked at the young king with worried and angry faces, and they seemed to be erupting.
However, the more they were like this, the more uneasy Edward felt. There is some reason to think twice before doing anything.
"Seeing how sincere you are to the royal family, this is my biggest achievement today!"
Edward's brows were slightly flat, the corners of his mouth were slightly raised, and the smile on his face looked extremely happy.
"This is what we should do, Your Majesty!" The five people exchanged eye contact, and Faris pressed the hunger in his heart, and led the others to bow down and salute.
"Very well, the royal family needs ministers like you!" Edward nodded happily, as if he was moved by them.
"Lucy—" Edward stared ahead, but he called the maid outside the door.
Soon, after a sound of light footsteps, Lucy stood in front of Edward pretty.
"Your Majesty!" Lucy said softly.
"Go and get five Bibles!" Edward ordered with a twitch of his mouth.
"Yes—" Lucy nodded, and retreated slowly with doubts.
The five ministers were puzzled, wondering why they had to take the Bible at this time.
Soon, five beautifully-covered and gorgeous Bibles were presented in front of the five people.
"This is my reward for your service to the royal family! Don't be surprised."
