97, as long as you dare to think, everything is possible
After listening to Scott's speech, Cardinal Beaufort's mouth rarely raised a smile: "Earl Norfolk, you are really worthy of being the best noble in our Lancaster family, do you know? In the Lancaster family, almost few people can see this level, and you are the only one who sees it."
"You are polite to the Bishop. They must have seen it, but they just don't want to say it." Scott shook his head repeatedly and said that he did not have such great ability.
"You don't have to explain. Will there be any falsehood if I saw it with my own eyes?" Speaking of this, Cardinal Beaufort sneered repeatedly: "I did this to maintain the current dominance of the Lancaster family, but unfortunately, few people saw my hard work, and even got a lot of eyeballs! Now, I really don't need to pay so much for them. Those idiots who only know how to eat, drink, and gambling should be killed by the York family."
"But the reality is that the Bishop did not hate them, but instead saved the Lancaster family." Slapping Cardinal Beaufort's shoulder, Scott signaled him to calm down.
It has to be said that Cardinal Beaufort is a very sensible politician, and his approach has indeed saved the dominance of the Lancaster family.
However, this approach is just a drop in the bucket. It can be saved for a while but cannot last for a lifetime. Because historical records show that after the death of the cardinal, the reputation of the high Lancaster family was wiped out by the French, and the War of Roses broke out directly in the Lancaster family York family.
Of course, Scott naturally would not tell Cardinal Beaufort about such a history. If this situation is known, then this history will not go against God.
"Yes, the Lancaster family is a big family. Many people in the family are still motivated. I can't ignore others because of some people, right?" Cardinal Beaufort's eyes scanned Scott's whole body like a radar.
Scott twisted uneasyly, trying to avoid his gaze.
At this time, Cardinal Beaufort reached out and grabbed Scott's wrist: "You are a good young man, but this noble blood is really impure, which also causes you to be in the position of aristocratic family among the Lancaster family."
"I can't do anything about this, after all, the bloodline problem has existed since birth." Scott scratched his head awkwardly. Why Cardinal Beaufort said that?
Pulling Scott down beside him, Archbishop Beaufort whispered in his ear: "Although the bloodline has been there since birth, there is one thing you have never heard of? People can do everything. As long as you have this heart, do you have the intention to join the ranks of the core nobles of Lancaster?"
"Do I have the intention to join the ranks of the core nobles of Lancaster?" After hearing this, Scott's eyes blurred: "Is this possible?"
The Archbishop of Beaufort replied with a smile: "Of course it is possible. As long as you are willing to abandon your existing Scottish aristocratic bloodline and marry a core female nobleman of the Lancaster family, you will naturally become the core nobleman of Lancaster."
"Is that simple?" Scott couldn't believe his ears.
You should know that in the Middle Ages of Western Europe, bloodlines had a strict hierarchy, especially the process of upgrading lower bloodlines to higher bloodlines was very difficult, but I didn't expect that such a difficult thing was so easy in the mouth of the Archbishop of Beaufort that Scott could hardly believe it.
Bishop Beaufort smiled: "Of course it won't be very simple, but with me, things will become very simple, so as long as you are willing to nod, I can immediately help you gain the status of a core nobleman. At that time, your power, status and wealth will be much more noble than now."
After lowering his head and pondering for a long time, Scott shook his head: "Thank you Cardinal Beaufort for your kindness. I feel like this is in good condition now!"
It has to be said that the status of the core aristocratic status of the Lancaster family is indeed very tempting, but Scott still rejected this temptation with difficulty.
Because Scott knew that once he became a core noble, it would mean that he would take responsibility vigorously in the subsequent War of the Roses, and even if he had to lead the army to fight with the York family. If the war was not successful, he would probably be directly captured by the York family's army. It would be a question whether he could survive at that time.
So although Scott was moved by the status of the core nobleman of Lancaster, he was not stupid enough to joke with his own wealth and life.
Only by continuing to maintain this current state can we retreat as much as possible in the future War of the Roses, and then sit and watch the tiger fight and the fisherman gain profit.
Of course, the most important point is that Scott still values this Scottish aristocratic bloodline in him.
Because according to Scott's design, after he became the king of England, he planned to use this Scottish aristocratic bloodline to contact the Kingdom of Scotland, and then see if it is possible to achieve the joint rule between the Kingdom of England and the Kingdom of Scotland, and finally rely on the strength of England and Scotland to gain control over Wales and Ireland to achieve the final union of the British Isles.
When Scott himself was proposed this blueprint, he was frightened by his crazy and bold idea, but then he thought again that this was the magical Middle Ages of Western Europe. As long as he dared to think and do, it was really possible to realize this blueprint.
Therefore, with the ultimate goal in my heart, Scott firmly opposed Bishop Beaufort's proposal.
"I can't imagine your reaction?" Looking at Scott's determination, Archbishop Beaufort sighed: "If others encounter this rare opportunity, they will definitely be extremely happy, but you..."
Seeing that the Archbishop of Beaufort was very unhappy on his face, Scott quickly exonerated himself: "Oh, it's not that I want to refuse, but I have to refuse, because the Lancaster family is splitting at this moment. If I suddenly enter the ranks of core nobles with your help, I am afraid that everyone's conflicts will not be adjusted. Maybe it's not handled properly, the entire Lancaster family will be split directly. Therefore, for the unity of the Lancaster family, don't say this."
