Chapter 177 It's All Your Highness
"Sign the Magna Carta? Should I sign the Magna Carta?"
Prince Edward gave a few words to the civilian just now and left there with Mr. Gerald. www. At the same time, he kept asking himself, that serious question - should I sign the Magna Carta? Maybe it is not anything to others, but it is definitely a very serious problem for him.
"Your Highness, I have told the common people that Prince Edward will sign the Magna Carta in the future, so..."
At this time, John and Tucker, who came back, were reporting their actions outside to Princess Qili. Beside Princess Qili was Philip Mark. Both of them listened to John's words and did not start.
John's words were heard by Prince Edward who came. For some reason, young people suddenly felt betrayed. John was his swordsman, and from a certain perspective, he was also his friend. Even if someone should say such words, both Princess Qili and Juliana whom he had never met before. He shouldn't be John, he is his best friend.
"How can you say that? I have never said that I will sign it. I...you... am I still my friend? I won't be brave enough to see the army of Count Simon de Mondford!"
The medieval knights were not worried about death most of the time, and they were often more worried about their reputation. John, as the son of Knight Roger, could not bear such words. Hearing Prince Edward's grievance, he immediately fell to one knee before him.
"Prince Edward, my Highness! I am your friend, and it will always be my honor, as for the Magna Carta..."
John was a little embarrassed. He didn't want to give others the reputation of Prince Edward as a monarch who was untrustworthy. Therefore, he knelt on one knee on one knee and did not finish his words, but looked at Prince Edward as if he wanted help. He knew that if someone could explain this, it would probably be the only Princess Qili in front of him. After all, the one who brought back the new, so-called "freedom" concept was also Princess Qili.
Princess Kiriel put down her affairs with John and Tucker, turned her face to look at Prince Edward. From the other party's face, he seemed to have great grievances. Needless to ask, it was because of the Magna Carta. Princess Kiriel knew that although Magna Carta seemed to have restrictions on England's monarchy, it would actually bring great benefits to England.
Her eyes turned and turned to Philip Mark, the mayor of Nottinghamshire, and she had an idea right away.
"Gerald goes to bring us two chairs, I want to talk to His Highness the Prince!"
Princess Gerrill is the French princess, but for a servant like Mr. Gerald, who has received a good "education" in the palace, he knew that both the French highness and the English highness were His Highness to him.
"Yes Your Highness!"
He answered and soon moved the chair. Princess Qili took Prince Edward to sit down together before turning to talk to him.
"Prince Edward, I'm lucky to call me sister, then we want to play a game, which is to examine Mr. Philip Mark, the mayor of Nottingham County, in front of us. After staying here for so long, you should know that he is a bastard!"
Prince Edward glanced at the eyes, and Philip Mark, the mayor of Nottinghamshire, whose face had changed color, nodded and admitted to Princess Kiriel.
"Yes Sister Qili, this guy is a bastard. But he couldn't suppress his greed when he was executing the king's orders. Although he was a bastard, it was fine for completing a certain job!"
Princess Qili knew that this was the real idea in Prince Edward's heart, but she wanted to explain the matter to Prince Edward clearly. The 10-year-old Prince Edward said it was big or small, and many things were in the middle of understanding. His answer made Princess Qili smile, feeling that she had grasped the point of the matter.
"That's true, but do you think why he wants to be greedy? Do you really think that all the money he greedy is left in your own hands? I think if you really sympathize with the job doing a good job, then you should ask where the money he greedy has gone!"
When Princess Qili mentioned this, Philip Mark's face turned red and white. He didn't understand why Prince Edward scolded John. Why did Prince Edward come to find out his old accounts? Although Prince Edward was a prince, he was young and young after all, and he didn't know anything about the officialdom. Therefore, when Prince Edward asked inquiring eyes, he just stammered and couldn't speak.
The rules in the officialdom are naturally that big fish eat small fish, small fish eat shrimp, and the end the cost will be over the heads of civilians. This often creates a group of corrupt officials, and the country's vitality is stripped into the hands of those great nobles, and eventually becomes what Count Simon de Mondford does today.
Such things are not much different from the corrupt officials of the Song Dynasty. They are just "filial piety" in the officialdom, and they are added layer by layer and time and time again. In the end, the officials below have to be greedy, and His Majesty the Emperor has to deal with those rebellions, or to be familiar with foreign countries. At that time, the people will be poor and their hearts will be dispersed, and the whole building will collapse with just a little kick from the foreign country. If you ask who will be the most strange thing, no one can understand it. You have to attribute it to "people's hearts are not old, and the world is getting worse" and push all the blame to the little people's heads, as if they are just a group of unfamiliar dogs.
The above are the things Martin taught Zhao Fubo in the past. Not to mention that Prince Edward in front of him was only 10 years old, he could not answer these questions. Even Zhao Fubo, who was 15 years old at the time, could not answer such questions.
At that time, Zhao Fubo discussed the result with Shu Yuer, Qili, Muke and others. What Princess Qili wants to say below is exactly this result.
"Edward, you recognize me as a sister, but I hope you will be a good emperor of England in the future. So I have to give you a word. This Magna Carta is to be signed, but not with the Earl of Simon de Mondford, but with the people of the whole England. I promise that if you sign, you will definitely get such a result, just like a capable official like Philip Mark, the mayor of Nottingham County, will not be greedy anymore!"
