Chapter 1501 Who Murdered the King
"It is now rumored in London that someone in our parliament secretly assassinated the king, and now King Charles has died in Lincolnshire. This is an unprecedented thing in our Britain! If this thing is true as the rumors say, then I have to feel sorry for it, We are the guilty party. I, the Earl of Essex, will retire from Parliament and at the same time step down as Commander-in-Chief of the Parliamentary Forces."

The Earl of Essex publicly condemned the behavior of some members of the parliament in the parliament, which caused a commotion in the parliament of about 300 people. They whispered to each other and wanted to know who was planning all this behind the scenes.

The Earl of Essex is a member of the House of Lords. Although the House of Lords was dissatisfied with King Charles, they sympathized with the king. Regarding the assassination of Charles, the House of Lords generally believed that the people in the House of Commons did it. The House of Lords, represented by the Earl of Cox, lodged a serious protest.

If the Earl of Essex, the commander-in-chief of the parliamentary army, resigns, who else has enough prestige to serve as the commander-in-chief of the parliamentary army?
"What is circulated in the market is not necessarily true. It may be the attacks on us by other people with ulterior motives, such as the Orientals, such as the French. Who knows if they are doing it to fish in troubled waters?" Pym of the House of Commons stood Come out, against the words of the Earl of Essex.

"Eastern people? It is the king who signed the treaty with them. The king will never refuse their proposal. They are the people who do not want the king to fall. They will choose to assassinate the king? And the French, they are busy with Habu Assassinating the king will not do them any good. It is obvious that our parliament can benefit from this matter. It is hard to believe that it was not done by our parliament.” Earl of Essex As a member of the House of Lords, but when something like this happened, he had to believe that it was an act of Parliament.

"Also, Sun Chuanting, the northern commander of the king's army known as the 'Eastern Wizard', was also attacked by four killers at a similar time. If the killers succeed, then this war can be over. With such obvious intentions, Could it be that someone in our council planned it? If you do it, you have to admit it generously, Pim, did you do it?"

Members of the House of Lords attacked Pim, the leader of the House of Commons, at this time, which made Pim a little annoyed.

"I have always believed that as long as our parliament works together, the king can sign the "Great Protest" and limit the abuse of the king's power. How could I use such despicable means to resolve disputes? Yes, every time I oppose the king, I will Even if I was at the forefront, I was personally led by the king and thrown into prison, but I will not use this method to win, I still support the king!" Pym said loudly.

Some members of the House of Lords were muttering: "Who knows if you will jump the wall in a hurry."

Pim pointed directly at the members of the House of Lords: "You are slandering, as despicable as an assassin, maybe you people in the House of Lords are afraid of the king's revenge, so you assassinate the king!"

"Your House of Commons is the assassin! Our House of Lords are all nobles conferred by the king, how could they murder the king!"

The parliament suddenly became chaotic. Both the House of Lords and the House of Commons accused each other of assassinating the king, but there were about 300 people in the parliament. If it was really done by members of the parliament, it would be difficult to find out who did it.

The Capitol is full of quarrels, and it is no different from the vegetable market at this time.

The citizens of the city of London are spreading the word that the king was murdered in the parliament, and those who were still opposing the king surrounded the parliament again, demanding that the parliament hand over the murderer.

Originally, at this time, the parliamentary army should have defeated the king's army as soon as possible while the king's army was leaderless, but the parliament was surrounded by the citizens of London, and the commander-in-chief, the Earl of Essex, went on strike, causing the parliamentary army to completely lose command. Let your army rest and watch the progress of the situation.

The accident in the royal family was so serious that everyone was at a loss!
The king's army and the parliamentary army, which were originally in dire straits, had a rare ceasefire.Most people can only wait for the top aristocratic elite to make a decision as soon as possible like penguins.

The parliament was besieged by angry Londoners for three days in a row. None of the councilors could leave in the turbulent crowd. They had to give a reasonable explanation to the Londoners about the rumors in the market.

Although the citizens of London were dissatisfied with Charles I's policies, they only hoped that Charles I would become better, not to eradicate their own king. This is simply ignoring England's traditions!

"Enough! I have already said that I did not organize the murder of the king!"

The leader of the House of Commons, Pym, has been annoyed by members of the House of Lords. The House of Lords accused him of planning to murder the royal families of England and Scotland for three consecutive days, which made him very annoying.

"Things have happened, we should now consider how to deal with the consequences of this matter! A country cannot live without a king. First, we need to confirm the successor of the king as soon as possible. Second, we need to ask the people of London and even the whole of England , and even the people of Scotland!" Pym couldn't bear to be questioned any longer, and almost roared.

The parliament was surrounded by the citizens of London City for three consecutive days. Even if their members wanted to leave, they had no choice but to leave. Even if it was really done by some people in their parliament, they still needed to find someone to take the blame as soon as possible.

But there are about 300 people in the parliament, who will be the one to take the blame?
"Pym, Hampton, you are the leaders of the House of Commons. It is obvious that this matter was done by your members of the House of Commons. You need to be responsible for the actions of your members of the House of Commons." The Earl of Essex asked.

"Fart! Maybe it was done by you people in the House of Lords!" Pym said angrily.

"Okay! Don't continue the internal friction! This will not solve the problem!" Hampton stopped the dispute between the House of Lords and the House of Commons in time.

The two houses have been quarreling for three days because they accused each other. As a result, no one is willing to admit that he is the murderer, and no treason can be placed on the members of the House of Lords or the House of Commons.

"The matter of tracking down the murderer can be resolved later. The top priority is to lift the siege of Londoners on our parliament as soon as possible. Otherwise, we will not be able to function normally. How can we completely solve the problem?" Hampton said.

"Hampton, how are you going to hand over the murderer they want to the citizens when you haven't found the murderer?" The Earl of Essex asked dissatisfied.

"Today, my lawyer, St. John, has thought of a reason that can temporarily appease the civilians." Hampton said.
