18, Borrowing a knife to kill
After hearing Scott's words, Mrs. Maria was surprised: "What are you going to do? Kill them all? Do you know that this will inevitably shake the foundation of the Scott family! By then, the basis of the Scott family's rule in the Norfolk area will no longer exist. Do you think you can bear such consequences?"
After reaching out to invite Mrs. Maria to sit down, Scott comforted: "Please rest assured, my mother, I have thought of all the consequences that happened afterwards. They are definitely not as serious as you said. Of course, as long as you always support me, the Scott family and I will stand in Norfolk forever."
"How do you want me to support you?" Mrs. Maria asked in a low voice as she looked at Scott's firm eyes.
Although Mrs. Maria was determined to oppose Scott's decision, her son has done this matter now, and as a mother, she can only choose to support it!
After all, for Mrs. Maria, even if everyone in the world opposes Scott, she must not.
After helping Madame Maria sit down, Scott turned around and sat down: "Don't my mother know a few ladies in the Lancaster family? Please write them a letter to them and ask them to persuade their husbands to support my decision to increase the battlefield in France!"
After hearing this, Madame Maria was shocked: "What? You want to increase the battlefield in France? God, you are not kidding, are you? You must know that you have just returned from the battlefield in France. Are you planning to return to the battlefield in France that cannibalize people?"
"My mother misunderstood what I mean." Scott waved his hand and said with a smile: "Since I'm back, how could I go back to the battlefield?"
As he said that, Scott took out a letter from his arms and handed it to Mrs. Maria: "The paper contains the names of the nobles who opposed me. According to my plan, I want to take this opportunity to send them and their families to the battlefields of France by the orders of His Majesty the King. In this way, I will never see them in Norfolk! What does my mother think?"
Madame Maria opened her eyes widened: "You want to get rid of them with the help of the French?"
"Yes, if I were asked to get rid of them by myself, I would definitely be accused of being accused of. At that time, all the nobles will say that I suppress the nobles of the other branches, and even if they are not done well, it may cause hatred from all the nobles! Therefore, it is better to send them all to the battlefield in France to serve His Majesty the King!"
Speaking of this, Scott smiled sly: "In this way, I will never have to see them again, and His Majesty the King's chances of winning on the battlefield in France will increase by one point, and many nobles will also say that I am loyal to the king and willing to send my people out! In this way, I will win both fame and fortune!"
"Why are there so many tricks in your belly?" Mrs. Maria only felt that she didn't know Scott before.
Scott stood up and shook his head: "This is not a ghost idea, this is wisdom! In short, the Lancaster family will be handed over to the mother. After the Lancaster family replied, I will write a letter to His Majesty the King. In this way, we will work together to strive to make this matter happen!"
As long as the transfer documents of Henry VI come down, even if these nobles don’t want to go to the French battlefield, they will have to go!
Compared with Scott's optimism, Madame Maria seemed worried: "This, can you be sure to succeed in your plan? If those people make great contributions on the battlefield in France, it will be difficult to deal with it at that time."
After hearing this, Scott sneered, and wanted to make great contributions. As long as they could come back alive, they would be lucky.
Unable to resist Scott's perseverance, Mrs. Mary quickly wrote a letter and ordered people to send it to London quickly.
Scott released all the nobles during this period, but their freedom of activity was limited to the capital Norwich.
I have to say that Mrs. Maria has a very good face. A few days later, the reply from London was posted to Scott's table:
Dear Mr. Scott, we have already known the situation in the Norfolk area, and Mrs. Maria has also told us your ideas. We welcome and affirm your decision. Please rest assured that we will pass your ideas to His Majesty the King, and we will do our best to promote this matter.
Looking at the text on the paper, Scott's mouth showed a successful smile.
Then he hurriedly picked up his pen and started writing:
Dear King, thank you for your magnanimity and kindness, and did not hold me accountable for my rash departure from the battlefield in France. I express my gratitude and guilt for this! Now I know that His Majesty the King is insufficient in the battlefield in France, and the situation in the Kingdom of England is extremely unfavorable, so I am willing to send the troops of the Scott family to support the battlefield in France to comfort my uneasy heart.
The following is the list I have drafted, please review it.
…………
After writing the letter, Scott sent out the list of the nobles and their families.
Norfolk is still relatively close to London, and three days later, Scott's papers were presented to King Henry VI.
"Scott is quite interesting. He is actually willing to dispatch troops from Norfolk to support the French battlefield. This is really unexpected!" Looking at the long list and looking at Scott's sincere words, Henry VI was moved uncontrollably.
When the Lancaster nobles next to him saw the opportunity, they hurried forward to express their opinions.
"Not it. Now the domestic recruitment is difficult, and other nobles are unwilling to allocate their manpower. Now the Earl of Norfolk is willing to share the worries of His Majesty the King. We must support such actions!"
"Yes, your Majesty, the Earl of Norfolk wrote to us that among the nobles of the Scott family, there were many people who were particularly capable of fighting, and that if they joined the battlefield, they would inevitably turn the situation around."
"Isn't Your Majesty the King worried that the Scott family will still have connections with Scotland? Then we can take this opportunity to find out all those who are connected to Scotland and then secretly deal with them all. This will not only ensure the absolute loyalty of the Scott family, but also exchange the loyalty of Earl Knook!"
