Detailed explanation-1: -Claudius explains that he acted as he did, burying Polonius secretly and not punishing Hamlet for the murder, because both the common people and the queen love Hamlet very much. As a king and as a husband, he did not wish to upset either of them.
Detailed explanation-2: -After sending some of his attendants to retrieve it, Claudius tells Hamlet that he’s being sent to England with Rosencrantz and Guildenstern. Once Hamlet leaves, Claudius reveals his true plan: as soon as Hamlet arrives in England, he’ll be put to death by the English court.
Detailed explanation-3: -Why? Claudius knows that Hamlet is mad because he is aware that he killed his brother, the king. Claudius decides that he wants Hamlet to be sent to England.
Detailed explanation-4: -He’s worried that people will blame him for allowing Hamlet to roam unsupervised when he clearly was not mentally well. Claudius is worried that this will reflect poorly on himself. He also knows that most of the people of Denmark like Hamlet and he’s worried that public opinion will tilt in Hamlet’s favor.
