Edward, who was greatly shocked, realized that there was a problem - no wonder Marlin was furious when he came, because, according to the Treaty of Nantes, if Louis XII had no children, Marguerite should have married Caesar. At this time, Edward was no longer angry, but a little embarrassed. After all, he wanted to break his promise, and he was discovered......

But then, Edward was a little confused:

"This is a casual remark made by Queen Anne and I at night when we were resting in our bedrooms, how did it reach the French?" When Edward expressed his doubts, he also pushed four, five or six, and no longer admitted that he really wanted to change his son-in-law.

Marin sneered in his heart, but he didn't express it on his face, but said:

"It's hard to tell, you know, Queen Anna is French. In order to take care of Queen Anna, there are French cooks and French maids in the palace......"

After a pause, Marin said meaningfully:

"Moreover, Queen Anna's father, but Louis XII's die-hard loyalist......" Marin's words actually implied that Queen Anna was also suspicious.

Edward's face changed, and he said:

"Wouldn't it? Although there are some French people under Anna's men, there is no one in them who was arranged by the Count of Durt, so there should be no French spies...... These people, who I personally selected with the queen, are all innocent French......"

Marin shook his head and pretended to be puzzled:

"The minister doesn't know, but how did Paris know the private words of His Majesty and the queen......

Edward couldn't say anything, because there was really no way to explain it......

Then, just as Marin thought, Edward planted the seeds of doubt in his heart, for Queen Anna......

Why did Marin drive a wedge between Edward and Queen Anna? Because if Edward died, Queen Anna would definitely be regent. So, it would be better for Edward to distance himself from Queen Anna before he died. It would be better if Anna could be deposed as queen. At that time, even if Princess Margaret ascends the throne, Queen Anna will no longer need to control the government.

If Queen Anna were to take control of the government, Marin was seventy percent sure that Anna would be on good terms with France. After all, Queen Anna is an authentic Frenchman.

In the presence of Anna, the queen, Marin could not get the regency of the Kingdom of England. Therefore, in Marin's eyes, Queen Anna is a stumbling block that needs to be moved out of the way......

Although it is not impossible to murder Queen Anna in the future, if Edward and Queen Anna both die, as long as it is a normal person, it will be wrong. Therefore, it is best for Edward to take matters into his own hands before he dies to remove the stumbling block of Anna. In this way, no one will doubt that Marin will later let Caesar marry Margaret and let himself be the regency of England.

Of course, this has to be done gradually. For now, Marin could only arouse Edward's suspicions first. Then, using the spies of the North Sea Kingdom in England, he quietly influenced Edward, and finally turned Edward against Queen Anna......

……

After a moment of silence, Marin pretended to think twice before speaking:

"Your Majesty, the minister wants to tell you a very important matter, and I hope to attract His Majesty's attention......"

"What's the matter?" Edward asked.

"It is easy for close relatives to marry and ...... heirs"

"What?" Edward stood up in shock. You know, he really planned to marry his daughter to his nephew before. If it was really as Marin said, he arranged it like this, wouldn't he take the initiative to let his daughter die?

After stabilizing his mind, Edward stared at Marin and said:

"What you said is true?" In fact, Edward suspects that Marin said this on purpose. The purpose is not to marry his daughter to Henry, but to marry Caesar......

Marin is confident, after all, this is scientifically proven:

"Of course it's true, I heard the court doctor from the Eastern Ming Empire say (the imperial doctor of the Ming Dynasty said - we don't know), if a man and a woman marry within three generations of blood relatives, it is easy to lead to difficulties for the heirs. Even if you give birth to a child, you are prone to frailty and illness, and it is difficult for you to live to adulthood. Severe, and may even give birth to mentally handicapped children......"

It's not Marin's fool, it's true. Although not every child of consanguineous marriage has problems, the probability of problems is indeed higher than that of normal families. For example, Lu You, although he and his cousin Tang Wan were in love after marriage, they failed to leave offspring.

But this is actually not so absolute, for example, the eldest grandson Chong married his cousin Changle Princess Li Lizhen, and gave birth to his sister-in-law, Changsun Yan. Even, it is rumored that the mustache's parents are close relatives who are married, but the mustache is so powerful......

And the opposite representative of this is the hapless Habsburgs. Historically, the Spanish Habsburgs (Charles V's lineage) intermarried with Charles V's younger brother Ferdinand I, resulting in the death of Philip IV's first sons, and Carlos II, the only surviving son, was still a fool...... This fool didn't know how to sleep with his queen, so he died without leaving any offspring, and then, leading to the War for the Spanish Throne......

However, it is true that there is a greater chance of problems in the marriage of close relatives. Moreover, in order for his son to marry Margaret more securely, Marlin will only speak in terrible directions......

"Is it that scary?" Edward was also somewhat taken aback by Marin's words. Of course, he remained skeptical.

Marin pondered for a moment, and finally said:

"Your Majesty, the minister didn't talk nonsense. You can get to know the great nobles who have no heirs, many of them because they married cousins or even cousins...... If Your Majesty doesn't believe me, you can send someone to investigate......"

Marin is full of confidence, and he doesn't need to talk about this kind of thing. As long as Edward Ken sent someone to investigate, he knew that what he said was true.

But in fact, many nobles are heirless, because of the low level of medical care in Europe. Some nobles who are closely related to marriage actually have no problem with giving birth to children, but because of backward medicine, the children do not live to adulthood, not the problem of consanguineous marriage.

Marlin put all these pots on the marriage of close relatives, also to scare Edward......

Seeing Marin's determined appearance, and asking himself to send someone to investigate, Edward was also somewhat convinced. After all, lying doesn't stand up to investigation.

Just as Edward was thinking about how to send someone to investigate the problem, Marin suddenly said:

"Your Majesty, please keep this secret and don't spread the ...... everywhere"

Edward was stunned for a moment, and asked suspiciously:

"Why? Wouldn't letting everyone know the disadvantages of consanguineous marriages to avoid more tragedies? ”

Marin explains:

"That's right, if you publicize it, will your sworn enemy also know about it? And if it is kept secret, your nemesis may continue this marriage, and then the heirs will be ......"

After a pause, Ma Linyou lowered his voice and said:

"Also, if the great lords under your command continue this kind of marriage, wouldn't it be easy for them to lose their heirs? Then the land will be returned to the royal family......"

When Edward heard this, a chill rushed through his head. But, when you think about it, that's really the case......

If the heirs of the dukes and counts under his command prosper, when the time comes, there will be more and more nobles in the country, and the land will not be enough to divide the land. Although Marin's statement is vicious, it is indeed in the interests of the royal family.

After nodding solemnly, Edward said:

"I understand, I will quietly send reliable people to investigate this matter secretly......"
