Chapter 1503 The Difficult Choice of the King's Army
"How is everyone's reaction now?"

Sun Chuanting rushed back to Oxfordshire almost non-stop, and went straight to find Prince Rupert who was temporarily in charge of the affairs.

Among all the people, only Prince Rupert is high enough and has military merits to suppress all the nobles in the king's army. Sun Chuanting is always an outsider, and outsiders can only use their fists to make the opponent submit, and cannot convince them from the noble hierarchy oral.

"The situation is not optimistic. You should also know that His Majesty the King is the spiritual pillar of our army. After his accident, people's hearts fluctuated, and many officers and soldiers lost their fighting spirit. I know this must be secretly planned by someone in the parliament. I can't wait to Immediately fight back to London...but now people are in panic, and we must confirm the new king as soon as possible to lead our king's army to continue fighting. If there is no king, then our king's army cannot be called the king's army. It will not be able to help the king Your Majesty's revenge!" Prince Rupert waved his fists, he had been holding back his anger these days, when Sun Chuanting led the main officers of the Northern Army back to Oxford, he was finally able to find someone to share the pressure of these days.

"When such a thing happened at this critical time, even the king was not spared. The parliament did too much. It is a good thing that you can hold back your recklessness. Only by keeping calm can you deal with what has happened." Sun Chuanting said.

As the governor of the king's army, Oxford University, earls, viscounts, and barons all gather here.

Due to the assassination incident, heavy troops were deployed here to check for explosives to prevent losses to senior officers.

When they saw Sun Chuanting coming, they were somewhat in awe of this oriental wizard.

After losing their king, they relied more on officers who could fight, and they were the backbone of the king's army.

"Princess Anne is undoubtedly the most suitable candidate, but the queen insists on taking little princess Anne to leave England and return to Paris. The dogma of the Holy See, and the interference from Louis XIII." Astley said to Sun Chuanting and others who came back.

"I have also thought about it for a while. From the perspective of protecting Princess Anne, letting Princess Anne go to Paris can indeed protect her safety. But letting the princess live in Paris is easy to be used by the French royal family. In the future, there will be problems of succession to the throne. At that time, France may intervene in our internal affairs." Prince Rupert said.

Like the parliament, the royal family is caught in the problem of choosing the heir to the throne. Perhaps it is more important for them to determine the new king, otherwise the king's army will fall apart.

"The worst thing is that if Princess Anne is not chosen as Queen, in this case it should be up to Parliament to decide this matter, but Parliament has turned against us. If they still decide the heir to the throne, then Parliament has reached their goal. For the purpose, we will be very passive, which means justice and money are on their side." An earl expressed his concerns to the crowd at the King's Army meeting.

"Please be smart, I can't let my daughter stay in dangerous England." Queen Henrietta also attended the meeting of the king's army. Her tone was indifferent, and she was completely disappointed with the situation here.

The nobles and gentry of the king's army looked at each other in blank dismay. They were also wary of the queen from France. If Charles I was still there, they would not worry about the expansion of French power in England.But now that Princess Anne is young, someone must exercise the power of the king on her behalf. In the absence of a prime minister in England, no one is more qualified than the queen to temporarily manage state affairs.

"The one who still has royal blood now is Princess Elizabeth in The Hague, the Netherlands, the mother of Prince Rupert..." A viscount said a choice.

Almost everyone looked at Prince Rupert, the descendant of the Holy Roman Empire Elector, and Princess Elizabeth was his mother.If his father, the Duke of Palatinate, did not die, then uniting Britain and the Palatinate against the Holy See would be a good choice.

It’s just that the Duke of Palatinate was the king of Bohemia, and he failed in the war with the Holy Roman Emperor, which also triggered the 30-year war on the European continent. Now Princess Elizabeth has nothing, and Prince Karl and Prince Rupert even went to England take refuge.

If Princess Elizabeth becomes the queen of the United Kingdom, there is no need to worry about outsiders manipulating England. Of course, it is not good. Another problem is...

Princess Elizabeth's heir issue, the descendants of Elizabeth and the Dukes of the Palatinate are Prince Karl and Prince Rupert.

Now Prince Carl is on the side of the Parliament, and Prince Rupert is on the side of the King's Army. Prince Carl is the eldest son. If Princess Elizabeth is recognized as the new king, then Prince Carl is the crown prince, and the Parliament has legitimacy. Then the King's Army What should we do here?
The defeated party may be deprived of land and titles, which is something the royalists do not want to see.

Prince Rupert felt the eyes of everyone, which involved his mother, and things were a little complicated.Who would have thought that the two brothers were in different camps?
Prince Rupert knew that this was the time for him to start standing in line. If he strongly praised his mother as the Queen of the United Kingdom, then the King's Army would have to consider Prince Rupert's opinion.After all, Prince Rupert and Sun Chuanting are now regarded as the imperial double walls of the King's Army, and the nobles of the King's Army need to see their opinions.

"I'm not afraid to tell you the truth, my mother doesn't treat me very well, and I often go on adventures... It's better to say that His Majesty the King is more protective of me, so you don't have to consider my position, I only have one This is my only request." Prince Rupert expressed his thoughts.

Sun Chuanting couldn't help but look up to Prince Rupert. If he supported his mother, Princess Elizabeth, as the new British king, then he would be a member of the British royal family, but he voluntarily gave up this power.

"What should we do?" The nobles and squires of the king's army fell into an unprecedented entanglement this time.Whether it is to choose Princess Anne or Princess Elizabeth, it seems that it is not very in the interest of the king's army.

"I propose that Princess Sophia be the queen of England and Scotland." Sun Chuanting suddenly spoke at this time to support Princess Sophia who was not in England at this time.

At this time, the people in the King's Army remembered that there was still Princess Sophia who was of pure royal blood and had not yet been considered.
