   Following the order of His Majesty the King, the two major intelligence agencies immediately stood up, dressed in brightly colored clothes, rode horses and carried swords, and walked around the streets.

  At one moment it was the street, and at another moment it was the government hall.

  Whether it is the officials or the police, they fear these people like a tiger and dare not stop them in the slightest.

  In a short while, the two silent organizations received a lot of admirers. This kind of prestige, even the nobles may not be able to achieve it, but they did it.

  Of course, the effect of such a quick and brutal action is also gratifying.

  As of one month, Edward already knew that more than 1,900 people had been arrested and were being escorted to London.

  The number of people being arrested is also rising, exceeding two thousand, three thousand, just around the corner.

And the Dark Blade and the Palace Intelligence Department seemed to be competing for success, and all kinds of good news came one after another. It wasn't that I took hundreds of people here, but I found hundreds of people there, making the entire British kingdom seem to be Calvin. Average pie.

  So, in Edward's eyes, this made him a little dumbfounded.

  He really didn’t know whether he was happy because he found so many Calvinists, or he didn’t know whether he was discouraged because of his ineffective governance of the country.

  In short, our King is very annoying, super annoying, even those beauties who sleep with him and do shameful things can only relieve a little bit of worry, but cannot completely relieve his worry.

   Regarding this, Edward thought about it, and finally took Queen Mary, Princess Elizabeth, and several little Marys together, fled London, and came to his own Windsor Castle to find his own good mood.

  Of course, all of the above are just reasons for Edward to fool those nobles and ministers.

  In fact, it was because of the unscrupulous behavior of the two major intelligence agencies, who despised the authority of the government and trampled on the dignity of the nobles, that the entire local government, the central government, and the nobles became angry.

You must know that the two major intelligence organizations not only captured many middle-class people, but also captured some aristocrats and officials who wanted to convert after eating too much and having nothing to do. dissatisfied.

  Edward counted a little, and there were only a few barons, knights, and more than a dozen county-level officials. Compared with ancient China, this is much less.

  Edward even felt that this was basically nothing.

  But the nobles and the government don't think so.

  In their view, His Majesty's behavior was too impulsive, and they didn't even give them a notice.

   Moreover, they arrested people without giving any reason, which made the hearts of the whole kingdom a little unstable.

More importantly, the two major intelligence departments, in broad daylight, in front of a group of common people, took away the dignified nobles who flowed with noble blood, and the high-ranking shepherds who shepherd the sheep, as if they were killing pigs. Nobles and officials, are they losing face? How to show off in front of the common people in the future.

  Therefore, voices of impeachment of the two major departments are endless, as well as officials and nobles who come to intercede.

  The nobles have broken their bones and connected their tendons, and they have been married for hundreds of years. The relationship has been damaged and all have been damaged. Edward is still understandable when he comes to intercede.

  However, what happened to those officials, they couldn't get close to each other, even if they gave gifts, it was impossible to do this. That is to say, only officials and officials protect each other and form cliques to explain it.

   This gave Edward a thorough insight into forming cliques, and he has completely integrated into the genes of the bureaucratic class, whether it is Chinese or foreign.

  His Majesty the King has always wanted to spend some time with his women and children, but these nobles and bureaucrats kept asking the King to see him, which annoyed Edward very much.

  But you have to meet them, after all, they are considered the ruling class, and they cannot be separated from the royal family.

  So, Edward was sitting quietly by the river fishing alone. A black stupid bear squatted aside like a dog, with a big red tongue sticking out, and his mouth was wide open, and the sound was dripping all over the floor.

  The two big eyes stared intently at the river, as if knowing that it could not make a sound, so it just watched quietly and drooled quietly.

  Edward didn't bother to care about it, and started fishing on his own.

   On the other side, the Duke of Norfolk, who was finally received by the king, hurriedly followed the guards to the river.

By the way, the old Duke of Norfolk, who couldn't get older and loved painting, died in 1554, and now his son, Thomas Howard, is the same as his father name.

  However, what is special about him is that he was born in 1538, about the same age as Edward.

   Even so, the young duke also served as the Earl of Arundel.

   In addition, he is also the dean of the hereditary British Heraldry.

  The fiefdom of the Duke of Norfolk is Arundel Castle in Sussex, although the name refers to Norfolk.

  The title of Duke of Norfolk has been hereditary since it reached the Howard family in 1483 and has been hereditary until the 21st century.

  So, although he is young, he can still represent the English nobles and come to meet Edward.

  When he came to the river, he saw His Majesty the King fishing at a glance, and his face was very calm, but when there was a bear next to the king, his expression was really horrified.

  Although he had long heard that His Majesty the King raised a bear, seeing it with his own eyes still made him shudder.

  He turned around by reflex, and wanted to run away, but when he looked back, he was not afraid of even His Majesty the King, so why should I be afraid.

  So, when Edward turned his head, he saw such a picture.

The young Duke of Norfolk tightly held the arm of the guard beside him, and his expression on his face was as calm as possible, but his trembling legs and his movement of only moving a small step clearly reflected the His fear and nervousness.

  The young king smiled when he saw such a funny scene, and the Duke of Norfolk, who was walking slowly, also forcibly maintained his aristocratic restraint, saluted him, and then slowly began to move over.

   "Your Excellency, there is no need to do this, this stupid bear will not hurt anyone!" Edward explained, and then touched the big ear of the stupid bear in a demonstration, but the stupid bear didn't care at all.

  Seeing this, the young Duke forced a smile on his face, and walked over at a faster speed.

  As if smelling the scent of a stranger, the stupid bear suddenly turned his head and grinned at the young Duke.

  His Excellency the Duke trembled all over, stopped, and looked at His Majesty the King as if asking for help.
