Chapter 287 Brigadier General! Acting Governor!
Chapter 287 Brigadier General! Acting Governor!
Kingston, the capital.
Bang!
Warwick, the Kingmaker, with gray hair and wearing a naval marshal's uniform, returned to his mansion from the parliament and threw his sword heavily onto his desk.
There was a loud bang, and the documents on the table were scattered all over the floor.
It also made the servant who was about to help him change his clothes tremble with fear.
Even a fool could see that his master, whose power was no less than that of the king and who even had the upper hand over him, was in a very bad mood.
"Get out."
When they heard their master's scolding, they collectively breathed a sigh of relief and fled the study as if they had been pardoned.
Warwick was left alone sitting on the sofa, pinching his forehead, but still couldn't stop his veins from throbbing.
It was all because he was furious at the sudden attack from the royal party at today's parliamentary meeting.
The questions were still echoing in his mind.
“The Star Chamber report has been submitted to the Privy Council.
The evidence is irrefutable, what else can Warwick say? "
"【Sea Hunter】Byron Tudor received orders from the Governor and led his team out of the port at the risk of his life.
After receiving the distress signal, without any hesitation, he activated the trump card [Fiddler Crab] seized from the Barbary pirates to send reinforcements.
It took only a dozen minutes to prepare the fleet.
In such a short time, it was your subordinates who conspired with the Lancastrians to assassinate the Newman family!"
"You still dare to quibble? There is more than one eyewitness, and many of your spies have been caught red-handed.
Do you dare to swear on the Magna Carta that this is not your man?
Why did you send so many people to Port Royal? Are you concerned about the health of the Newman family?
Apart from Your Majesty, you are the only one in the kingdom who has the ability to block the legal network."
"How funny! If you didn't kill him, could it be that the loyal Sea Hunter killed him?"
"I want to impeach the Count for treason!"
"Seconded!"
"Seconded."
Although the series of attacks from Wang's party did not cause any serious damage to him, they did make him feel overwhelmed and passive in every aspect.
Besides, he did have a backup plan to kill the chicken to scare the monkeys.
Now that the yellow mud has fallen into my crotch, it's either shit or shit.
Warwick was not only angry but also confused:
“How on earth did the Lancastrian party do it?
If I were still senile, I would clearly remember that I absolutely did not block the legal network of the colony.
Faced with the evidence and the consistent confessions, I thought I really did it myself."
He just couldn't figure it out. He never could figure it out.
Having been caught by the royal party and pursued all the way, he has been forced to start the appointment process in parliament.
Even if the Earl's party obstructed in every possible way, it could only delay and would find it difficult to veto the appointment of the new governor.
Not only that, even during the Star Chamber Tribunal review, a series of catchy slogans were seen from the Sea Hunter's subconscious:
"If loyalty is not absolute, then it is absolutely disloyal!"
"With hard work, nothing is impossible!"
"Your Majesty is loyal!"
It has become the catchphrase of all royalists, making them unprecedentedly united.
From time to time, maxims are shouted out in parliamentary debates.
It was a slap in the face to the Earl's party, which belonged to the York Party but was clearly treacherous.
These harsh maxims seemed to be tailor-made for them, leaving them speechless and unable to refute.
As we all know, the human subconscious mind cannot deceive people.
Neither party doubted that when the future Byron Tudor rose to the peerage his family motto would be one of these.
Even Edward IV highly praised this "great loyal minister" in public.
At this difficult time when there is great disunity within the York Party, there is a tendency to portray him as a moral role model.
The "Sea Hunter" Byron Tudor, who had no distinguished family background and had never appeared in the center of power, had become a rising political star in Kingston!
The legendary degree of the title is also increasing linearly.
[Sea Hunter] is at the center of the vortex of the struggle between the two factions, and has become known to everyone in the upper echelons of the kingdom.
Start to move steadily towards the next key node of 25 points.
Thinking of the black horse that jumped out unexpectedly, Warwick closed his eyes, pinched his eyebrows hard, and became more and more upset.
At this moment, he suddenly felt a pair of slightly cool and soft hands touching his forehead and kneading it gently.
When he opened his eyes, he saw a pretty girl with long chestnut hair standing behind him.
Although she was young, she already had a breathtakingly beautiful appearance. Seeing the girl in front of him, Warwick's gloomy face suddenly disappeared, and a smile appeared at the corner of his mouth:
"Isabelle, you're back. How was it? Did you have a good time on the spring outing today?"
The girl tilted her head and blinked her emerald green eyes at her father:
"It's okay, but his brother George is a little clumsy and always likes to stare at people on the road. It's really annoying."
The “brother George” the girl refers to is none other than George, Duke of Clarence, York (Chapter 95), the second oldest of Edward IV’s three brothers.
The second oldest of three brothers had no outstanding military achievements and was often nicknamed "his (Edward's) younger brother George".
He often does surprising things, but I didn't expect that he would be so close to his brother's political enemies.
Warwick was not angry when he heard his daughter's accusation, but laughed:
"Hahaha, my darling, that young man just likes you.
What do you think of him?
The girl's face was full of shyness after hearing this sentence.
"Ah! Father, what are you talking about? I'm going to ignore you."
With a scream, he covered his face and ran out, leaving Warwick behind.
The Count looked at his daughter's back, which was so beautiful that it could attract any young man's heart, and his eyes gradually became meaningful:
“The victory or defeat of a moment is nothing, whoever laughs last laughs the best.
Edward, your wings have grown stronger and you gradually stop listening to me.
But I want you to know that since I can create one king, I can also create a second one!"
From the title, we can tell how powerful this earl is.
Being a powerful minister who assists the king in ascending to the throne is not his ultimate dream.
Unfortunately, since the ancestors of Lancaster and York founded the country, their blood has been of the same origin, and neither he nor any other powerful minister could be recognized by the iron law of royal power.
It is impossible to sit on the throne of king.
But with the fantastic title of "King Maker", he has the potential to become the one with greater power than the king.
He accidentally looked down at a page of documents scattered on the ground, and saw the name that was qualified to appear in front of him for the first time. His face sank again:
"I was tricked once by those Lancastrians who must have some secrets.
How dare a lowly flea of common origin step on the great [King Maker] to ascend to the throne?
Didn't you all say that I was involved in the assassination of the Governor?
Didn’t I say that I should follow this guy’s example and be a loyal subject?
Then I will really kill a governor this time to show you, otherwise people will think that I, the Kingmaker Warwick, really have no temper. "
South, thousands of kilometers away.
This is in stark contrast to the gloomy mood of the Kingmaker and the Earl's Party.
Port Royal was decorated with lights and countless residents took to the streets to enjoy the wine and food provided free of charge by the Pioneer Navigation Colonial Trading Company.
At the same time, he praised the new governor's greatness and generosity.
"To our Governor General."
"Byron Tudor!"
Just now, a special envoy of the King from the Privy Council arrived in Port Royal in the form of a law projection.
Publicly honored [Sea Hunter] Byron Tudor.
An "Order in Council" bypassed Parliament directly, obtained the recognition of the Magna Carta, and made the executive order effective.
"Appoint Byron Tudor as Commodore of the Royal Navy and Commander of the Seventh Fleet in the Colonies."
Although the main battleships of the current Colonial Seventh Fleet were originally the privateering fleet under his command.
But as long as there is an organization, it is possible to recruit soldiers in the name of the kingdom and receive military expenses from the national treasury.
"In addition, Byron Tudor is appointed as the Acting Governor of Port Royal, representing His Majesty the King, and having all administrative powers, the power to appoint and dismiss officials, and the highest military command."
At the moment the appointment was issued.
Byron's name appears in the kingdom's legal network.
Its own [Anchoring] suddenly increased, and the pull of [Mammon, the Worm of Greed] on the other side of the world rift was weakened again.
The world is organized in a way that represents more than just stability in the literal sense.
It is also the foundation of true spiritual stability and security!
Byron, wearing a general's uniform, wore the governor's seal ring, which represented the supreme power of the colony.
The mighty power of will and law of the entire colony roared in, and the [Storm Signet Ring] symbolizing the Lancaster monarchy also lit up.
This meant that he had finally taken the first step towards regaining the lost power of the House of Lancaster.
“Once it’s in my hands, it’s mine, and no one can take it away from me.
And I will take back everything that Lancaster has lost, bit by bit.
It doesn't matter whether it is an acting or real position. Since accidents can happen to the tax inspection team, who can guarantee that there will be no accidents to the next governor, or even Edward IV himself?
After all, Sea Hunters are always loyal."
Just after he had received an audience with the officials, a messenger suddenly came with a report.
"Your Excellency the Governor, the first expedition ship to come back to support the Celestial Circumference Belt, the Jackdaw, has returned."
