Chapter 1083: Rumors and Smears
The rest of the time is the process of Edward's preparation for the coronation as "acting king". Of course, Marin also has to attend this coronation ceremony as the Earl of Newcastle.
For this reason, Marin had planned for a long time - this time he went to Edinburgh, not to play the honor guard of the North Sea Country, but to use the honor guard of the Earl of Newcastle in England. Moreover, Marin will keep a low profile, so as not to provoke the French at this juncture.
And at a time when the whole of Europe was arguing about Edward's move to be the "acting king of Scotland", England struck again - at Edward's suggestion, James Earl of Scotland Alain. Hamilton, John of the Earl of Bakken. Stewart, Earl of Mar, Alexander. Erskine, John of the Earl of Rose. Leslie and a group of other nobles who were captured or stayed in Scotland spoke out in support of Edward becoming the official king of Scotland.
While supporting Edward, these sluts were also instructed by Edward to trumpet Margaret's "unruly and debauchery" life during her tenure as Queen of Scotland. James, Earl of Alain. Hamilton said that when His Majesty James IV was still alive, Queen Margaret seduced him many times, but fortunately he was not in trouble......
John of the Earl of Rose. Leslie also talked about Queen Margaret's affair with her in the back garden. Leslie also concluded that the child in Margaret's womb may have belonged to a Scottish guard, and could never be a descendant of the royal family. So-and-so took the opportunity of being the head of the palace guards to go to the backyard of the palace every day to fool around with Queen Margaret......
The news of these explosions spread very quickly in Europe. And Europeans, too, love this gossip. Because, it's so exciting......
The queen is bohemian, seduces men like a female cousin frequently, and with the guards - too exciting, is there anything? It's definitely the best conversation point at a tavern......
Gossip and scandals have been people's favorites since ancient times. Of course, in modern times, gossip and scandal spread more freely and quickly. But in ancient times, it was not so easy to spread. For example, Louis XII of France strictly forbade the spread of such gossip, and violators were imprisoned. After all, France still needs to use Marguerite to make a fuss, how can it allow this kind of scandal and gossip to slander Marguerite?
However, except for France and the French little brother, other countries don't care. Anyway, the Stuart dynasty of Scotland is all gone, and the Tudor dynasty of England is finished. The identity of the princess of the dead country and the queen of the dead king really makes everyone not respectful. Then, in other countries, this gossip flew all over the sky.
Later, in taverns in several countries, drunkards placed bets on the father of the child in Margaret's womb. The results showed that only 2% of people believed that it was John. Stewart......
……
In fact, there is the shadow of the Beihai Chamber of Commerce behind this matter. The North Sea Chamber of Commerce in Marin, relying on the whisky produced in the North Sea country, has opened many taverns and hotels in various European countries. Its purpose, in addition to selling alcohol, is to gather intelligence and spread public opinion. After all, people like to brag when they drink alcohol. A tavern is a place that is best suited for inquiring and spreading news.
Even, the drunkards in the tavern opened a village to bet on who the father of the child in Margaret's belly was, which was secretly promoted by the spies of the Beihai Chamber of Commerce. Its purpose is to completely discredit Margaret.
And Margaret was indeed mad with anger. When they heard that only 2% of the children in their womb believed that the biological father was John. After Stewart's news, she fainted on the spot.
When she woke up, she angrily ran to Notre Dame Cathedral, and in front of the bishop of Paris and many guests, she swore with her Bible in her hand that she was definitely a good woman who had never had sex with a man other than her two husbands. If it is false, he is willing to die and go to hell......
Of course, before going to Notre Dame, she didn't forget to stuff something into her chest clothes and pretend to be pregnant.
The spies of the Paris branch of the North Sea Chamber of Commerce learned that Margaret had run to Notre Dame Cathedral, and felt that the opportunity was rare, so they quickly organized the killer to go. However, when the North Sea Chamber of Commerce killer was ready, Margaret returned to her residence......
No way, there are no walkie-talkies these days. Margaret's run to Notre Dame Cathedral was a temporary idea, and the spies of the North Sea Chamber of Commerce were caught off guard. When they reacted and organized the killer, the other party ran back......
……
To attend Edward's coronation in Edinburgh, Marin set off early by boat. But Edward specifically asked Marin to join him in London first, and then go north together. Moreover, the escort force that went north this time was none other than the Fourth Army of Saqqara under Marin.
Edward was actually worried about being in distress on the road, so he decided to take Marin north with him. Edward felt that the Fourth Legion was Marin's men, and with Marin with them, they would definitely be more concerned about security.
But in fact, even if he didn't pull Marin with him, Marin wouldn't do anything to him. Because, Edward is still very useful to Marin. The unification of Scotland and Ireland is a very offensive task and can easily be hated by the people. With such a dangerous job, Marin naturally wanted Edward to finish it all alone. In this way, when Caesar comes to take over, there will be no danger. Therefore, until Edward has completely pacified Scotland and Ireland, Marin will never want him to have problems, and will even try to protect him.
In London, Marin also met her lovely future daughter-in-law, Princess Margaret Jr. The little girl was running up and down in the gardens of the Tower of London, followed by the maids and the guards, as well as the Mongolian doctor sent by Marin. With the presence of a Mongolian doctor, little Margaret broke her leg or arm or something, it was a trivial matter. Still, Marin wasn't at ease.
So, Marin said to Edward with a worried face:
"Mongolian doctors don't seem to be good at pediatrics and gynecology, it seems that I still have to go to the Eastern Empire and find her a doctor at the level of a royal doctor who is good at pediatrics, so that she can grow up healthier......"
Edward was very amused when he heard it, and felt that Marlin, an outsider, cared more about little Margaret than his own father. However, our Majesty Edward did not know that he had been kicked and that he would not have any other children. Therefore, he did not cherish Margaret as his only daughter very much. After all, he is still young, and he may have children in the future without knowing that his eggs are broken. Of course, he will not refuse Marin's concern for his daughter.
So, he said to Marin:
"I support your idea, but are you sure that the Eastern Empire is better at medicine than in Europe?"
Ma Lin directly rolled his eyes and said:
"You have also seen the medical skills of the Mongolian doctor I sent. The medicine of the Eastern Empire, which was more developed than that of the Mongols, was certainly stronger! ”
"That's great, let's get a skilled Oriental doctor for me. By the way, let them help to see our couple, why we don't have a second child yet. It's best to have a prince or something......" In the past few years, Edward and Queen Anna have had sex together, but they don't have a second child. Therefore, Edward was also a little anxious.
Marin agreed on the surface, but he was complaining in his heart - you have been kicked by the French, and you still want to have a second child? Perhaps, it is possible to consider exposing this problem and letting England and France tear it apart......
But Marin quickly dismissed the idea, because the most important thing for Edward at the moment was to stabilize Scotland and completely annex Ireland. It may not be a good thing to let him know about the things done by the French at this time, and it will distract Edward. Wait until Edward has pacified the British Isles and tell him the sad news. It is estimated that in anger, England will fight with France......
