Chapter 710: Suicide Note and Scarlet Crown

On the second day of the trial, most of the nobles of Henry VII's faction, including their families, who had been sentenced, were taken to the execution ground.

The execution ground was set up in the square at the southwest gate of the Tower of London, and on this day, it was crowded with people from London who came to see the beheading of former kings and former nobles......

With an order, the executioners swung their axes and slashed at the necks of Henry VII and others. For a moment, blood splattered......

Henry VII, Thomas. Stanley and the other men were beheaded in a good situation, they were all silent. But the beheadings of the women and children were very worrying. While the women and children were pressed to the guillotine, they cried and begged for mercy. Even the ruthless Marin was very unbearable when he saw it. Even Edward, who gave the order, couldn't help but close his eyes......

However, both of them know the truth that "cutting the grass does not remove the roots, and the spring breeze blows and grows". Wasn't the reason why Henry VII was able to raise the banner against Richard III back then was because Henry VII was alive? If Henry VII had been killed when he was a child, then there would have been no such. After all, ancient Europe was very particular about blood. Without royal blood and great noble blood, no one pays attention to what they say. Even if you raise your arms and shout, you are just being treated as a psychopath.

On this day, in the square outside the southwest gate of the Tower of London, the blood of thousands of men, women and children who were killed gathered into a pool of blood......

Also on this night, Elizabeth, Queen Elizabeth of Henry VII, hanged herself in a convent under house arrest...... Before committing suicide, Queen Elizabeth left a bloody letter - Edward, I am waiting for you in hell! Me and my children, will tear your soul apart!

Seeing this angry blood letter, Edward was stunned for a long time, sat on the throne for a long time and did not move, and kept muttering to himself:

"Am I wrong? Am I wrong......"

"No, Your Majesty, you are right!" Marin said firmly. Now the mess in England still needs to be cleaned up by Edward, and he doesn't want to see Edward depressed.

"But my cousin had such a grudge against me before she died...... I ......" Edward almost cried.

Ma Lin hurriedly said:

"No, Your Majesty, if your sister Margaret and I had not managed to get you out of the Tower of London, you would have been beheaded in the winter of 1497! And the people you ordered to kill yesterday, they will ignore your blood and drink heartily...... The battle for the throne is bloody! The winner is king, and the loser is the loser! ”

"The winner is king, and the loser is the villain?" Edward repeated Marlin's words, and finally came to his senses.

"Yes, Your Majesty, this is a common saying in the Eastern Empire! Meaning, history is written by successful people. Your Majesty, you have succeeded, so, in the history books, Henry VII and they will be stinking for 10,000 years, and you will be glorious for all eternity......"

Edward thought for a long time, nodded, and said:

"I understand, but ...... This blood letter...... My prestige ......"

Ma Lin's eyes showed a fierce light, and he said:

"Tear it, imitate this handwriting in addition, and write a suicide note with the opposite meaning. In the tone of Princess Elizabeth, she said that she was forced to marry Henry VII. And her children were all the evil seeds that Henry VII forced her to give birth to, and they died innocently! As for the reason for Princess Elizabeth's suicide...... It is said that he gave birth to a son for the enemy, and he is ashamed to ...... the ancestors of the Yorke family."

Edward was taken aback:

"Are you trying to forge a suicide note? But someone else knows about it......"

"How many people know about this? It didn't spread, did it? ”

"Probably a few nuns from the convent, and a few guards who went to deal with the matter......"

"Good, get rid of them secretly. As for the fake suicide note, I'll come! ”

After saying that, Marin once again used the skill of imitating handwriting that he had learned from his previous life and the buddy who had given false testimony, and began to write a fake suicide note with the blood taken from the square, imitating Queen Elizabeth's handwriting......

An hour later, Edward took the two suicide notes, both real and fake, and looked left and right, surprised......

"This ......"

"Don't be surprised, Your Majesty, it's just a small measure......" Marin said lightly.

Edward thought for a moment and tore the real suicide note to shreds......

……

On the third day, Edward invited the citizens of London, as well as representatives of foreign chambers of commerce, to attend his enthronement ceremony. Unable to find foreign envoys to attend the ceremony, Edward simply invited the members of the investigation team sent by the Holy See to investigate whether Edward V had been murdered, who had not yet left London, to attend the enthronement ceremony as foreign guests......

In this mission sent by the Pope, there were both French and Scottish. They were semi-threatened by Marin's subordinates, and as "foreign guests", they participated in this bloody enthronement ceremony.

The enthronement ceremony began on the Grand Square outside the southwest gate of the Tower of London, where thousands of nobles had just been killed yesterday. Although the square has been swept away with all the corpses and blood thanks to the efforts of the people, there is still a strong smell of blood in the air......

In order to mask the smell and prevent the plague from breeding, Marin had a lot of quicklime sprinkled on the square. However, it still can't hide the smell of blood......

But Edward himself did not care, and he did not even wipe the blood from the crown that was taken from the head of the slain Henry VII, and did not think it necessary......

"The king-killers will be punished by God after all, and it is God's arrangement that I can survive and kill all those king-killers!" Edward held the golden scepter and shouted loudly from the high platform.

"They are innocent! And I will be the king of all England and Ireland according to God's arrangement! Edward looked contemptuously at the guillotine in the center of the square, then shouted confidently.

"Long live the King!" Marin took the opportunity to lead the rhythm with his English soldiers.

"Long live the King!" This is the arranged shouting of the people.

"Long live the King!" The people of London are finally getting into the rhythm......

Amid the cheers of the crowd, Edward took his wife Anna by the hand, set out from the square, boarded the carriage, and proceeded to Westminster Abbey under the escort of Marin's army of tens of thousands, where he was greeted by the frightened Archbishop of Canterbury, William. Wallam put the bloodstained crown on his head. Then Edward from William. Wallham took a crown from his hand and put it on his wife, Anna......

In fact, William. Wallam was the archbishop who was single-handedly raised by Henry VII, and was not from Edward's side at all. Even, William. Warem himself was reluctant to coronate Edward.

Originally, William. Wallam wanted to use the authority of the Holy See to reject Edward. Because he didn't think Edward would dare to oppose the Holy See.

However, Marin did not give him any face at all. Marin put William. All of Wallem's relatives were tied up and taken to William. In front of Wallem, threatened:

"Either crown His Majesty Edward, or you and your whole clan die!"

In the face of Marin's near-public threat of death, William. Wallam was shocked and furious:

"How dare you? I am the archbishop of the Holy See! Aren't you afraid of the punishment of His Holiness the Pope? ”

"Your Holiness? Ahaha...... If I kill your whole people, the Pope will not punish me!" Marin said arrogantly.

And right on the side, the representative of the investigation team sent by the Holy See, the pastor Hironi, directly pretended not to see, raised his head, and began to carefully observe the structure of the church's dome......

"Your Excellency, this person is disrespectful to the Holy See, so you don't care?" William. Wallam asked for help from the Holy See delegation.

However, Pastor Jironi directly shook the pot and said:

"I didn't see anything, I didn't hear anything!" The Reverend of Heroni was a close subordinate of Julius II, so he naturally knew about the close relationship between Marin and Julius II. Therefore, in response to Marin's threat to kill the entire family of the Archbishop of Canterbury, he directly chose to pretend not to see it......

Seeing that even the papal emissaries did not care about Marin's barbaric behavior, the Archbishop of Canterbury, William. Wallham had no choice but to give in. So, when he put the bloodstained crown on Edward, he was still trembling, and he had not yet recovered from the shock......

After putting on the Scarlet Crown, Marin hurriedly presented the King's Sword that had been recovered from Henry VII's palace. Edward gave the golden scepter to Queen Anna, and he himself raised the king's sword, and said in a loud voice:

"The blood of England has dried up, and the true king has returned! The glorious era of England has arrived! ”

"Hooray!"

"Hooray!"

"Hooray!"

Inside and outside the church, tens of thousands of soldiers chanted in unison. Because of the pre-rehearsal and the discipline of Marin's army, the sound of tens of thousands of people chanting in unison resounded throughout the city of London, shocking all the people who watched the ceremony, whether it was London citizens or foreign guests......
