Chapter 150: Negotiation (on)
"Your Majesty, you must understand that although the Lowlands are occupied by the Earl of Wellington, he has no right to freeze our property!"
Earl Allen, who had been immersed in the king\'s praise, couldn\'t sit still after hearing Edward\'s supplement at this time. He stood up with his arms supported, bent slightly, and said word by word.
Although the Earl is old, the power in his words is not small, and the expression on his face has become dignified.
In fact, Edward underestimated the importance of the lowlands to Scotland.
The Scottish Lowlands include all of central and southern Scotland to the southeast of the line between Dumbarton at the mouth of the River Clyde and Stonehaven on the North Sea coast.
Although it is called the lowlands, this does not mean that the altitude of the Scottish lowlands must be very low. This is only relative to the Scottish highlands.
The Scottish lowlands occupy a quarter of Scotland, but three-quarters of the population live there. These people are basically places where Kate and English people live together.
It can be said that it is the essence of Scotland. If according to Edward\'s meaning, these all belong to England, then Scotland is no different from a subjugated country, and the nobles can only live with the barbarians in the highlands. .
These are definitely not what these nobles want, and it is impossible for them to agree.
"Hehe! My lord, this is beyond your control!"
Edward turned his head when he heard this sentence, looked at the trembling Earl Allen, smiled contemptuously, and said in a joking tone.
Afterwards, seeing everyone in the room standing behind Earl Allen, declaring their support for Earl Allen, a great pressure rushed towards Edward.
And among them, there are many nobles who are close to England and stand on the side of Earl Allen with a clear-cut stand, and remain silent.
Even if they have great interest disputes with England, once someone moves their fundamental interests, even the king, they will resist without fear.
The ladylike Luna at the side was a little panicked. She looked at her master, wanting to see how he would deal with these Scots who relied on their numbers.
The guards beside Edward picked up the long swords around their waists and surrounded Edward with a look of vigilance, but Edward did not stop him.
Facing the simultaneous pressure of more than 200 people, and this uniting force created by himself, Edward was not afraid, as if he didn\'t see it, and drank tea on his own.
He feels that he is very calm, but in the eyes of the Scottish nobles, this is Chiloulou ignoring them and not taking them seriously, which is a direct slap in the face for the nobles.
Hundreds of silent nobles began to speak various words, forgetting the fact that they were still captives for a while, but Edward felt the need to remind them.
"Gentlemen, it seems that you still don\'t know your current identities!"
"Remember, you are all my captives now, a captive without any freedom, and your lives are all in my hands!"
"I just need to move a thought, and I can ask you to meet God!"
Edward seemed to be joking, and spoke slowly, but all the nobles broke out in a cold sweat, and some of them finally understood their situation.
However, at this time, there are still people who are unwilling to be in this passive position.
"My Majesty the King, although we can\'t resist you now, don\'t forget that France is our ally, and it will not let you succeed!"
"When the French army comes, we will work together with the French army, you should go back to England!"
"Hypocritical Englishmen, you are not welcome in Scotland!"
Edward heard the voice and turned his head to see that it was a middle-aged nobleman with light red hair and a pot belly, standing in the crowd, spitting and shouting loudly, with a look of contempt on his face.
"Oh! Really? I\'m so scared to death!"
Edward said timidly with a frightened expression on his face.
"Hahaha! Sir, I don\'t know what will happen to me after the French come, but I can tell you clearly now that you will die very ugly soon!"
Edward ignored the idiot nobleman and sat back with a smile on his lips.
"Come here, take this gentleman down, and let him meet God happily!"
As soon as Edward said these words, the people around the light red nobleman immediately dispersed, keeping away from him, for fear of causing trouble to Chi Yu.
"Yes, Your Majesty!" Soon, some guards took the terrified nobleman down, dragging him by the arm like a dead pig, dragging him away from the ground.
"Oh! By the way, find a good place to bury him directly. Don\'t let his corpse be exposed in the wilderness. Nobles can\'t be humiliated!" Just as the guards dragged the nobleman who was soft into a ball of meat out of the room, Edward added One sentence.
Thinking that Edward changed his mind, the eyes of the meatball nobleman who thought he could survive suddenly disappeared, and his face was ashen.
The clamoring nobles and councilors suddenly stopped, and looked at Edward worriedly, with a tinge of fear in their eyes.
"Of course, I will not be executed without guilt. A judge will sentence him later!"
Edward said quietly with a thoughtful expression on his face.
"Oh! By the way, Mr. Earl, what do you say about attacking the king and contempt and insulting the king?"
Edward then asked Earl Aaron innocently.
"Of course, it\'s up to you to decide how to do it!" Earl Allen twitched the corner of his mouth, with a constipated expression on his face.
"Your Excellency Earl, you also agree to do this, it seems that you also hate this kind of stuff! It is an embarrassment to the Scottish nobles!"
Edward looked resentful, and began to complain to the Scottish nobles.
Hearing this, although the nobles were expressionless, they cursed shamelessly and filled with resentment.
But now they didn\'t dare, and the accumulated momentum disappeared with the nobleman being dragged away.
They didn\'t expect that Edward would be so ignorant of the customary rules among nobles, and even so shameless.
Facing such a king, they could no longer think about fighting, and no one wanted to be accused of any crime and go to God.
Seeing that many nobles were intimidated by him and kept silent, Edward was satisfied.
Look at what he looked like when he first came in. When the nobles saw him coming, at most they had expressions of surprise on their faces, without any fear at all. How could this be possible.
Under such equal conditions, what good is negotiation for Edward?
But now it is different, the situation has reversed, and Edward has the upper hand. Such negotiations are beneficial!
Edward thought silently in his heart.
