Your Mightiness

August used to always feel that he and Richard II have nothing in common, but now he finds that they actually have a little bit of similarity, for example, they are both particularly stubborn.Specifically, you don't like me?I don't like you yet!

When the topic is dead, they stare wide-eyed, no one speaks, but they are still waiting for the other party to back down.

It's so naive as a primary school student.

In the end, the king had a thicker skin and broke the deadlock.

Richard II was lying face up on the bed at this time. His leg was broken and his abdomen was stepped on by a horse. He could not lie on his side, and he did not dare to turn over. Every time (no matter where you move), he will feel pain.The only thing that can dispel this pain is to continue to speak softly to his little nephew in a tone that does not deserve to be beaten.

"I don't believe in love, and I don't believe in family affection, but I believe in brotherhood, and I believe in your father."

August glanced sideways at the king and said nothing. He belonged to Ji. Seeing Renji, he didn't dare to speak out, for fear of adding fuel to the fire and really angering his uncle to death.

"I don't know if you, without brothers and sisters, can understand..."

The dead old Earl of Kent objected.

"Mary and Richard are my brothers and sisters!" August interrupted Richard II. He didn't know where Richard II's sense of superiority came from. Why did he think that the only child could not experience the normal relationship between brothers and sisters? feelings? !

August, who has been an only child for two lifetimes, hates being labeled as cold and selfish as an only child.

The king smiled.It’s not ridicule, but with a sense of relief that my family has a child who has just grown up: “…I’m glad you think so. Really. Please be a pair of good brothers with Richard for the rest of your life, just think of me and Your father is the same. Although Richard is a little stupid, a little weak, and his ears are a little soft, but you are similar. So, he doesn't have to worry about your betrayal, and you don't have to worry about his betrayal."

==Are you complimenting me or mocking me?

Richard II stopped talking while talking, and he was about to calm down before continuing to speak.The wound really hurts.

August also realized at this time that the topic between him and the king was not exhausted just now, but that the king was in so much pain that he didn't want to talk, and he needed to take a rest before he could continue with his strength.

At that moment, August didn't know what he was feeling. He had mixed feelings and mixed feelings. He became more considerate of Richard II in his actions, stopped bickering with him, and tried not to get close to the king. The bed would not add any more pain to Richard II's overwhelmed body.

After resting, Richard II continued: "I once counted on cultivating the family relationship between the three of Mary."

This August remembered, Richard II said it back then, but his so-called cultivation...is very weird, okay?Let one's own child serve as an attendant to another child.My mother, whoever dares to treat him like this, he can stab him to death!

Richard II's plan clearly failed.

Fortunately, there is no unparalleled road, and God sent August who suddenly became sober.Richard II tremblingly stretched out his hands to August. It was a pair of hands that belonged to an old man at a glance. The skin was loose, with vertical and horizontal markings, and there were some abrasions that were scratched and oily.August held it without hesitation, being as careful as possible not to touch Richard II's wound.

But Richard II still complained: "Fuck, can you be lighter!"

This sentence ruined the whole atmosphere.

August, who had softened his heart, immediately wanted to throw away his uncle's hand: "I'm already very light, can you follow the normal routine? Or should I call the priest in?"

Whether it is Catholicism or Protestantism, people have to make a dying confession to the priest before they die. They firmly believe that as long as the priest forgives them on behalf of God, they can go to heaven.

"I'm not dead yet! What kind of priest is my name?! Are you going to rebel?" Richard II also got excited, "I'm the king, the king! Do you understand? The one who can give me the confession at the end of my life must be the one in red." Senior clergymen above the archbishop level!"

"You have offended the Holy See like that, what about the Cardinal?!"

"The Archbishop of Camberley is mine! That, that cardinal who escaped from the Holy See and defected to the King of France, don't want to give you some face now?!"

Then, Richard II stopped again, and now he can't even yell in anger, because...it really hurts.

Listening to Richard II's gasping voice, August really didn't dare to refute Richard II this time, and kept telling himself in his heart, you have to be patient.

Thus, the pair of uncles and nephews finally ushered in a rare "honeymoon" period.

Richard II held August's hand vainly, and said, "Promise me, after I die, don't let Richard be provoked by ambitious people from his mother's family."

"Then why do you trust me?" August looked at Richard II and said, his eyes clearly said, don't you dislike me?

Richard II looked at August blankly, but he didn't know the answer.Except for his brother, he doesn't like anyone, no, it should be said that he doesn't treat anyone other than his brother as a human being.But August doesn't like people who can barely like that little bit.So, at last, he said: "I only believe that you have no ambition for the throne."

"Who said that?" August felt that he was underestimated, and he was also a man to kill?He has great ambitions, the most fierce in the universe!

"Your father said so."

"...Okay, you won." When mentioning the Black Prince, August immediately lost his temper.

Then Richard II continued: "Please don't let Richard listen to Mary anymore, and don't let him be fooled by Leeds." Richard II is actually very helpless about the character of his children, whether it is the eldest daughter or the second daughter , are very cunning people, as long as one of them is a son, they will not pull out so many broken things later.But they are not.And the only son... Sigh, but his personality is like a daughter.

Patriarchal patriarchy is good for a while, and it's good for a while, August said in his heart.

"So, can I entrust Richard to you?" The king's eyes were already a little slack, but he insisted on looking at August, "Answer me!"

August actually hated being forced, but in the end all he could say was, "Give it up."

Just as Richard II didn't know why he chose August to come to Tuogu in the end, August didn't know why he agreed to Richard II.

"I will arrange sixteen nobles to form a new Privy Council, and you will become the speaker of the Privy Council..."

The Privy Council was already a decorative existence in the modern era of constitutional monarchy, but it was a real authority in the Middle Ages.The full name is "King (queen) in Council", which is the political advisory group of the king or queen and has judicial power.The head of the Privy Council is the speaker, who will also serve as a member of the cabinet at the same time, and belongs to the fourth-largest figure in the power class.

Moreover, according to past practice, the Speaker will become the leader of the House of Lords or House of Commons after the king or queen ascends the throne.

Simply put, if someone wants to usurp power, the Speaker of the Privy Council will definitely be an indispensable step in his life history.If you still can't understand, just simply and rudely treat it as the auxiliary minister, the regent or something.

Of course, the assistant minister was when the king was still young.

If the king grows up, like Richard II, then the Privy Council is the military affairs office of the Qing Dynasty for him.

Of course, the scope of the Privy Council's powers has fluctuated throughout history, mainly depending on the person.For example, during the period of Richard II, the Privy Council was tantamount to suppressing the existence of Congress. Richard II could directly declare a certain law to take effect immediately through the Privy Council. That is to say, the Privy Council also had legislative power.Congress is almost useless.This is a path that a strong monarch will take to strengthen the feudal centralization of the king by deepening the power of the Privy Council.

Raphael was the Speaker of the Privy Council during the time of Richard II.

But now that the emperor and the courtiers are in charge, Richard II dared to use Raphael, but he did not dare to let his son use it.The sixteen candidates for the Privy Council he selected include great nobles like August, priests like the Archbishop of Camberley, and some officials with important powers in various departments, but few of them are used by him now. team because he doesn't trust anyone in there.

"I will arrange for you to meet as soon as possible." What Richard II meant was not really as soon as possible, but after he finished catching his murderer.

The king’s words didn’t end here: “Don’t trust Raphael.”

"..." why?

"Don't trust the Moses family."

"..." Which is the Moses family?

"As soon as he was out, he ordered the immediate arrest of the Duke of Norfolk."

"..." There is finally a familiar name, no, is this old man still alive?Oh my god, the fighting power is so strong.

"Are you listening or not?"

"Are you dead or not?" The Augustus finally couldn't bear it anymore, he was still angry at Richard II's distrust of Raphael.

The king was also very angry, but he felt strangely that only August dared to talk to him like this at this time. He had already lost the ability to trust people. On the contrary, at the end of his life, it was right for him.

"Probably won't die for the time being." Richard II understood his own body, and he felt that he should be able to resist for a while.

August, who was dragged to listen to the last words for a long time, only to learn that the other party was not necessarily dead: "..."

"I will do part of it myself, but I'm not sure which step I can achieve, so I need you to promise me that after I die, continue to implement my plan."

"That depends on my mood." August challenged again.

"It's for your own good that I don't let you trust Raphael." Richard II was very helpless. August was good at everything, but he trusted Raphael too much, which was very bad.

"You and I have different views on this, I respect you, and please respect me, thank you."

"...Let's skip Raphael and talk about the rest first, shall we?"

"Okay!" August agreed this time happily.

The king was so heartbroken that he suddenly wanted to die, so he didn't have to suffer from this birdishness anymore.But he can't die, at least he has to wait until his brother comes back. August still can't count on it, so he continues to work hard to live a little longer.

Seeing the king burst out with unprecedented passion at the end of his life, August finally heaved a sigh of relief.Although Richard II has all sorts of faults, he acts absurdly and cruelly, employs suspicious and narrow-minded people, and is particularly annoying, but...he is August's relative after all.

Never before had August realized so clearly that he did not want Richard II dead.

"After my death, it is not the end of an era, but the beginning of a troubled world. Of course you are afraid." Richard II coughed, "Now you know my benefits, but unfortunately it is too late, and it is useless to regret. "

"..." Can you still make people feel sad? !
