Pirate Kingship

Hattings native, capital Kingston, Ganquan Palace.

In the southeast corner of the palace complex stands a majestic white marble building, with a plaque carved with the emblem of a golden lion holding a sword inlaid at the door.

When the palace servants pass by here, they will subconsciously hold their breath, and the cautiousness is comparable to passing by the king's study.

Because this is the power center of the royal party today-the Privy Council!

There are sixteen high-backed chairs engraved with different emblems placed beside a long table, and nine of them have welcomed their owners at this time.

Some people come here in real body, while others use lifelike law projection.

The Speaker of the Privy Council, who came here in person, nodded to the other eight big men who held the highest power under the king:

"More than half of the people have been present, and the process is in place. The expedited meeting can begin.

There are two key topics today, both submitted by the Colonial Affairs Department, which are related to our overseas development.

We must give immediate advice on how to deal with them."

After receiving the blessing of the [Magna Carta], Edward IV has become a true fifth-level king, and naturally has his own sixteen [Right Hands of the King].

And it is not a monkey version like Byron who built a system from scratch, but a true right hand of the king in peak state.

The positions of two knights and eight guards are given to the most powerful sword-wielding nobles who are at the core of the kingdom's power.

In essence, they are the powerful lords with the strongest military and economic strength. They naturally want to be rewarded for supporting Edward's ascension.

Two chariots are usually given to the kingdom guardians who have gone the furthest on the extraordinary road and have strong strength.

To be called a kingdom guardian, it must be at least a high-sequence legendary field. If you are willing to establish a system, you may be able to gather a king title.

That is a person that even the royal family has to be careful to worship.

The sixteen people united around the king and have the highest status under the current legal system.

In the Kingdom of Hastings under the rule of the York family, in addition to the king, queen, and a legendary kingdom guardian.

The other thirteen people together form the monarch's advisory body "Privy Council", and the official full name in the kingdom's official documents is: "The Most Honorable Privy Council of His Majesty the King".

They are also called Privy Council Advisors.

After the accident in the colony, the relevant department immediately submitted this difficult problem to them.

"You have all learned about the course of this vicious incident.

The brothers of Jefferson Newman, the governor of Port Royal, were assassinated. Except for a daughter who had no extraordinary qualifications, the whole family was wiped out.

From the causes and consequences shown in the intelligence, this is obviously a long-planned revenge.

We have to solve two problems now.

First, we need to find the real culprit and bring him to justice;

Second, the colony's right to protect religion has been approved by His Holiness the Pope and will be launched soon. It concerns the overall overseas interests of the kingdom, and we must compete with the Castilians.

The two things are essentially the same, that is, who will lead the colony to fight for the right to protect religion next."

A [Guard] looked at an incident report signed by all the main officials of the colony to ensure that there would be no collusion or falsification, and saw the key issue at a glance. Title:

"According to common sense, there are only two people who have the motivation and ability to do this big thing in just a dozen minutes.

One is the Lancaster Party that we drove away, and the other is our Lord [Kingmaker].

Although Jefferson's order to command the main fleet to leave the port was amateurish, the key reason why he and the Newman family died was that the subsequent [Magna Carta] accidentally failed to work on the bandits.

If the law had not failed, we would not have learned of Newman's death the next day.

By the way, didn't the [Sea Hunter], one of the seven pirate generals who saved the Royal Port, also catch a few lurkers sent by Warwick?

This is a case of catching people red-handed!

At present, it seems that only the title of Kingmaker can possibly resist the authority of His Majesty.

Gentlemen, the enemy is probably inside."

Others nodded subconsciously.

Whether in fact or in psychology, they tend to believe that Warwick was involved in this matter.

Maybe he didn't do it directly, but it is a high probability event that he fanned the flames and reached a certain tacit understanding with the Lancaster Party.

Otherwise, there is no way to explain why the law is invalid.

"Everyone, we must be vigilant.

In addition to the tacit understanding between Warwick and the Lancaster Party on this matter, is it possible that he is also flirting with the Lancaster Party on other matters?

Now his strength far exceeds that of Lancaster, which is left with only remnants of defeated troops. He, the [Kingmaker] who has divided the power of His Majesty, is the biggest enemy of our Royal Party!"

"Warwick has committed treason!

When the evidence is thrown in his face, I want to see what kind of expression he will have?"

"Gentlemen, the Newman brothers are members of our Royal Party, comrades in the united front, and close friends of all of us. Their deaths must not be let go.

If Warwick does not cut off a large piece of meat to compensate the Royal Party, this matter will definitely not end."

Before the authorities checked, they defined this vicious incident one by one.

Obviously, Byron's act of blaming others played its due role, and the development of the matter was roughly the same as he expected.

It’s not that these people are not smart enough and cannot find the suspicious points, it’s just because human nature is like this and so is the nature of politicians.

It is in their best interest to have events unfold this way.

It is not difficult for Byron, who is originally at the same level as them, to figure out people's hearts and then follow the trend.

The Speaker of the Privy Council, who is also a [Prime Minister] coughed lightly:

"Since everyone has reached a consensus, I will report this opinion to His Majesty.

However, a review of the necessity of this vicious murder case still needs to be done.

Moreover, the battle for the right to protect the church is urgent, and the candidate must be determined within three days for the new governor to begin performing his duties.

We are too late to parachute the most suitable candidates from our homeland.

Just choose one person from the colony to succeed you for the time being.

I have a few hard indicators here: they belong to the royal party; they are loyal and reliable to His Majesty; they have outstanding abilities; they are loved by all parties.

It is best to be familiar with the colonial situation and can immediately form combat effectiveness without any need to run in, and fight a tough battle with Castile on our behalf. "

The Speaker glanced at the name recommended by the officials on the information in his hand, silently remembered it in his mind, and decided to wait until the review was completed.

At this time, a [Knight] said with concern:

"The formal appointment of a colonial governor required the consent of the Warwick-controlled Parliament.

Even if the colonial personnel were directly appointed, saving a month of traveling, the wrangling and exchange of interests would not be something that could be resolved in just a few days.

Even if we hold on to Warwick's little braid of collaborating with the enemy and treason, we cannot use the law to punish this thief who shares His Majesty's authority.

The royal power cannot be centralized. No matter what you do, the first step is internal friction. "

Hearing this, [Prime Minister] Speaker pondered for a moment:

"Then let's appoint an acting governor first. If he satisfies us in the battle for the right to protect the church, we can then grant him the actual position. This way, there will be no time left.

This task was handed over to the ‘Star Chamber Court’, which immediately dispatched operatives to investigate the case and conduct a necessity review on the candidates. "

No one else had an opinion either.

"Second."

"Second."

"."

The Star Chamber is the highest judicial institution in Hattings. It is named after a hall in the palace with a star-shaped roof.

Specially punished nobles, rebels, and dissidents who were not loyal to the king or even conspired to rebel.

Members are composed of privy council officers, bishops and senior judges. Most of them hold the rank of tribunal and are directly under the jurisdiction of the king.

This is the Lancastrian dynasty, one of the core power institutions that Henry V seized power from the nobles and wanted to change the status quo of "the king is under the law".

In fact, he plays the role of the king's eagle dog.

The efficiency of the Star Chamber Court was extremely high.

As soon as the Privy Council's order was issued, a team of three third-level executioners from the Star Chamber Court came to a star building in the palace.

There is a golden ball placed on the altar in the middle.

This is one of the seven sacred relics used by every king when he is crowned: [Cross Holy Ball], also known as [Kingdom Ball].

The main body is a hollow gold ball about 30 centimeters in diameter, inlaid with 9 emeralds, 18 rubies, 9 sapphires, 365 diamonds and 375 pearls.

The cross above the sphere is the symbol of the church.

At the coronation ceremony, the archbishop will present this orb to the new monarch to remind him that "power comes from the Creator", that is, "the divine right of kings."

At the same time, it is also one of the most critical anchor points for the iron laws of a kingdom in the real world, and the core hub used by various authorities to control the laws.

It can be regarded as the emperor's royal seal.

At this time, the [Orb of Royal Power] is swallowing the bright light of law, forming a vertical eye like a dragon's eye, monitoring all abnormalities within the coverage of its own law.

If it hadn't been for a bunch of "outlaw gangsters" who automatically hid in the net, the mainland would not have been ignorant of the cases that occurred in the colonies.

The leader of the three [Executioners] took out a warrant and ordered Baoqiu:

"The orb is activated, the law comes to the place, Colony Port Royal."

As long as you get the permission to use it, you can greatly improve the capabilities of the Tribunal sequence in all aspects, and it can be called an artifact of this sequence.

Between the aura blooming.

The three [Executioners] each sat on a stone chair and slowly fell asleep.

One of the professional abilities of this profession at the third level was activated - [Execution in Dreams], also called [Dragon Slaying in Dreams]!
