35, money exchange people and horses
"Does Your Majesty really want to see the Lancaster family being suppressed by the York family from now on?" At this point, Scott emphasized his tone: "Please make sure to distinguish who is an ally and who is an enemy, otherwise it will be too late to regret it!"
After hearing Scott's words, Henry VI's heart thumped: "I, I..., but..."
Although Henry VI was a fool, he knew the contradiction between the Lancaster family and the York family. He also knew that the joining of Scott, Earl of Norfolk, would strengthen the power of the Lancaster family. Logically speaking, he should protect the Norfolk area.
However, now seeing the war on the European continent have a new turning point, and Henry VI never gave up on his desire for the French crown, so at this moment, after weighing the pros and cons, he gave Scott a difficult reply.
"Of course I understand your warning, but now there is a rare opportunity to go on the battlefield of the European continent, so I really don't want to give up the crown of the Kingdom of France." Henry VI stood up and grabbed Scott's hand: "For the sake of God and Aunt Maria, please help me, okay? Please, add some troops from your Norfolk to the European continent."
Looking at the stubborn Henry VI and listening to his humble words, Scott shook his head powerlessly. He was such a stupid and greedy guy. No wonder Henry V worked so hard to build and was defeated by him.
Henry VI is a fool, but this does not mean that Scott is a fool. He ignored Henry VI's plea. Scott said coldly: "Sorry, Your Majesty the King, I cannot agree to your request! If you really want to increase your troops, please go and find other earls! Anyway, I am not the only one earl in the Kingdom of England!"
"But the troops of other counties are not as fierce as your Norfolk troops!" Henry VI said earnestly.
But Scott was still heartless.
To be honest, Scott did not take King Henry VI at all to heart. After all, the political structure of the Kingdom of England at this moment was mainly two situations with strong people.
On the one hand, the two supers mainly refer to the Lancaster family and the York family; on the other hand, they refer to the two pillars of the kingdom, the Regent Humphrey and Bishop Beaufort.
The strong refers to the earls of various regions of the Kingdom of England.
Under the reality of two super strong situations, King Henry VI was undermined at all. It can be said that King Henry VI had almost no appeal, so facing Henry VI, Scott performed quite strongly.
Seeing that Scott was determined to send troops, the cowardly Henry VI was helpless for a moment. There was no way. Who made him a puppet king at this moment? Who made the power of the state at this moment in the hands of the Regent Humphrey and Bishop Beaufort?
After pondering for a long time, Henry VI made a suggestion that he thought was smarter: "How about this, I can give you a lot of money to exchange troops with you. Is this OK?"
Scott raised his eyebrows: "Your Majesty plans to exchange money for the army? But as far as I know, your Majesty doesn't have much money!"
"It's okay, I can borrow from Bishop Beaufort!" Henry VI said anxiously: "How is it? Do you agree to this condition?"
Scott pondered for a while before slowly saying: "Since Your Majesty has said that, if I don't agree, it will seem too unkind. But I want to tell Your Majesty that your actions today disappoint me!"
"I..." Henry VI didn't know what to say after hearing this.
Skipping Henry VI, Scott turned around and left the palace, then drove straight to Bishop Beaufort's house.
"Old friend, you finally came. It's been several days since you came!" Bishop Beaufort immediately welcomed Scott enthusiastically when he saw him.
Sitting next to the table and eating a few bites, Scott opened his mouth: "Biden Beaufort, I have a good news here to share with you. I wonder if you are interested in listening?"
"O? But is it news about His Majesty the King?" Bishop Beaufort asked with a smile.
After receiving Bishop Beaufort's answer, Scott was stunned at first, and then immediately felt relieved. After all, Bishop Beaufort is also a powerful person in the Kingdom of England, and he must have a lot of people under his command. I believe he had learned about his previous action to the royal palace.
"Yes, it's His Majesty's business!" After saying that, Scott told him in great detail about his conversation with Henry VI.
Bishop Beaufort smiled after hearing this: "You did a great job. I am worried that I can't affect His Majesty the King, but he came to him on his own initiative! Humph, he got too close to Humphrey a few days ago and ruined many good things for me. This time I must toss him well."
Listening to Bishop Beaufort's speech, Scott felt heartbroken. Sure enough, English politics was simply chaotic, and it seemed that power was more concentrated!
However, Scott was too lazy to interfere in the matter of Henry VI and Bishop Beaufort. Now he is more concerned about how much profit he can make from it.
Thinking of this in his heart, Scott said in a very tactful way: "Then I wish Bishop Beaufort to successfully gain the trust and support of His Majesty the King in this opportunity, and then successfully limit the power in the hands of Regent Humphrey."
Bishop Beaufort smiled wantonly: "Well, after I succeed, I will definitely not forget the help of Count Norfolk."
While speaking, Bishop Beaufort provided Scott with another 10,000 Royal Rose: "If you send troops from Norfolk this time, it will definitely consume Norfolk's strength, so these 10,000 Royal Rose are regarded as compensation for you! In addition, I will do my best to help you raise the price of troops on His Majesty the King's side!"
After hearing this, Scott frowned and thought to himself: "Bike Beaufort, why not do this? You might as well send me the loan you send to His Majesty the King directly, so that the money will only be circulated between you and me, and His Majesty the King is responsible for repaying the debt."
"Your idea is really exciting! If we join forces, wouldn't it be a scam to His Majesty the King?" After hearing Scott's crazy and bold idea, Bishop Beaufort's eyes only shone.
This Scott is so terrible!
It's really bad!
