Chapter 1124: Five-Person Regent

In the days that followed, Marin talked to Caesar every day about the qualities that a king should have, regardless of whether Caesar, who was only seven years old, could understand it or not.

In addition, Marin repeatedly emphasized that he must marry Margaret, the princess of England, in the future. Because, in this way, Caesar could become the king of England......

The reason for emphasizing this point is that Marin was afraid that Caesar would be carried away by love in the future, marry an unruly aristocratic lady, and sabotage his grand plan to unite Yingde.

As for whether Caesar, who is only 7 years old, can understand, Marin is not worried. Judging from the fact that Caesar can learn 4 languages, his memory is still very good. Marin didn't expect Caesar to understand his words now, but as long as he remembered them, he would understand in the future.

And in order to prevent Caesar from making a brain-dead choice because of love in the future, Marlin specially instructed the people in the palace and the teachers he appointed for Caesar to instill in Caesar the idea that "love is ridiculous, marriage is the most important".

Throughout history, princes who willfully pursue love often do not end well. For example, King Edward VIII had to give up the throne in order to marry an American widow and not love the country and beauty. As a result, the evening is bleak and disgusted by the good-for-nothing widow, Mrs. Simpson. Because, Mrs. Simpson hooked up with Edward VIII in order to be quite a queen. And Edward VIII, who lost the throne, was worthless in the eyes of Simpson. If it weren't for Edward VIII's younger brother George VI defending his brother and having the deterrence of the British royal family, Mrs. Simpson might have left Edward VIII behind. Of course, George VI's purpose in preserving his brother's marriage was not very pure - if Edward VIII repented and married a nobleman, he would have a chance to regain the throne......

The inheritance law in Europe is very strict, as long as the nobles intermarry, whether you are the eldest son or not, the descendants will lose the right to inherit. In fact, the Hoffman family also has no inheritance rights. Because, Lady Mary's father married the daughter of a commoner merchant. So, strictly speaking, Marin is also a descendant of noble marriage.

However, Marin later generations learned to carve turnips and forge old ones, and forged a decree that Lady Mary's grandfather canonized Lady Mary's grandfather as a baron, and it is still difficult to see the problem. In this way, Marin was qualified to become the Earl of East Friesland, and then to the rank of Grand Duke.

In fact, many people doubt the legitimacy of Marin's inheritance. However, this is also just speculation. Because, Marin publicly asked people to identify the document, but there was no problem. After all, Marin is too chicken thief, he actually uses old-age parchment to fake, and he knows how to make old ones. When the average person sees that the parchment is old enough, they basically assume that the document is genuine.

It is also that Europeans have never seen much of the world, and if they invite an expert who is good at identifying ancient paintings from the Ming Dynasty, they may see the flaws.

It's embarrassing to say, Marin's inspiration for using old paper to forge documents actually came from a well-known restricted movie in later generations - 3D what kind of futon......

In it, he helped King Ning identify ancient paintings all his life, and mentioned that he used old paper from the Tang Dynasty to fake Wu Daozi's paintings. Well, then, Marin learned and put it to use, and sure enough, the Europeans who had little insight were blinded......

Thanks to CCAV, thanks to the futon, and thanks to Wei Yiyang's life, Ma Lin has the opportunity to become a great nobleman and participate in the European hegemony......

……

It seems to be crooked, but Ma Lin said calmly - I see what kind of group, not to learn movements, but to learn knowledge, you think crookedly...... As the saying goes, "the insight of the world is knowledge, and the practice of human feelings is the article", even if it is in the group, there is knowledge to learn. The premise is that you have a keen eye for discovering knowledge......

To get back to the point, Marin insisted that Caesar marry Margaret, and he was by no means a pit son. In fact, the heirs of the extended family do not have the right to freely pursue love. Only ordinary people who do not have a burden on their shoulders are qualified to pursue free love. And the people who are responsible often need to think about a lot. The TV series in which the prince fell in love with Cinderella in later generations were basically fooling the silly girl. Whoever believes in it is brainless, because those noble sons' marriages can't be decided by themselves at all. Unless, willing to renounce the right of inheritance. And most of the Cinderella who wants to be a wealthy man with eyes sticking to it is played in vain. At most, get a little financial compensation. What kind of person do you want to marry or what kind of person you want to marry, first see who your dad is...... Unless, you have the ability to defy the sky and have earth-shattering talents, and it happens that the other party's family also lacks a son-in-law as an heir (this is for the Phoenix man)......

As for the beauties of commoner families who want to marry wealthy families...... To put it mildly, there are more super beautiful female branch girls in the clubhouse, and there is no shortage of you with a beautiful ...... Some people may talk about the queen's experience, but that era was an era when ideals were not dead, and even the poor were glorious. But the 21st century ......

After all, the European hegemony is too dangerous, and once it is beaten by various countries, it is likely to be GG. Only Britain is isolated overseas, and as long as it develops its navy well, it will be invincible. Otherwise, even a man of God like Napoleon would have been beaten to death......

Therefore, Marin asked Caesar to marry Margaret to leave a way out for the Hoffman family, so as not to be uprooted after losing the battle for hegemony.

……

Because he was worried that Angela might be forced to remarry after his accident, and the elder Hoffman preferred his eldest son. Therefore, Marin decided to write a will, and at the same time select a group of orphaned ministers to escort Caesar's growth......

But somehow, Ma Lin suddenly remembered the eight ministers selected by Emperor Xianfeng for Emperor Tongzhi. It seems like...... were all chopped up by Cixi and Prince Gong......

However, Marin thought about it and abandoned this concern. Because, Angela and Cixi are two types of people, and they don't have that ability.

However, the murder of two nephews by Richard III had to worry Marin. Therefore, Marin stated in his will that if something happened to him, Adler, Albert and Simon would not return to Aurich to avoid the tragedy of Edward V. If it is violated, it will not matter if it is killed, and the old Hoffman's orders will not be done......

Even, this time when Marin went out, the elder Hoffman was forbidden to participate in politics or lead the army. Previously, Marin was willing to let the old Hoffman take charge of the army because he was sure that he could go back alive, so he didn't mind the old Hoffman guarding his hometown. But this time, Marin wasn't sure if he would make it back alive. Therefore, he did not intend to let the elder Hoffman participate in politics or take charge of the army. Because the name of the "successor" that the elder Hoffman gave to Adler's son deeply stimulated him......

……

In order to prevent the emergence of powerful ministers like Aobai, Marin referred to the system of the Chinese Presbyterian Church in later generations, and decided to select five regent ministers to jointly assist the young Caesar.

Moreover, the rights of these 5 regents are equal, and there is no leader. When something happens, it is also a vote, and 3 votes pass the system. In this way, the possibility of the emergence of a top minister is avoided as much as possible.

And the five Regents are - Schwarz, Kohler, Staad, Sauer and Justice Heidel......

……

These 5 people all followed Marin earlier. Among them, Schwartz and Stade belong to the army generals. Kohler and Sauer, on the other hand, each have an intelligence force in their hands. As for Haider, he is the only trustworthy civilian official......

In addition, these 5 people are also divided into factions. Among them, Schwartz and Kohler have a good relationship, after all, both are one of Marin's earliest followers. And Sauer, although he was a follower of the same period as the two, deliberately distanced himself from Kohler under Marin's deliberate hints. After all, the two of them each have an intelligence organization, and they should not be mixed together. So, Sauer's position is neutral.

Stade and Heidel, on the other hand, belonged to the second group of people who followed Marin. These two people are relatively close and can be regarded as a faction. In this way, the five regents were divided into two factions and one centrist. When it comes to voting, everything is possible. There is no longer a question of one faction having the upper hand.

Moreover, Schwartz was originally a field marshal, but the last time he attacked the Duchy of Gedes, Marin deliberately reduced his position. Now he is on the same level as Stadder, holding the 1st and 2nd Legions, respectively. In this way, there is no need to worry about someone taking sole control of the military.

……

After the selection was decided, Marin publicly announced the decision of the five-member group to serve as interim regent. If he does not return, the five will become the official regency of the five, with equal status, and decisions will be made by vote until Caesar turns 16......
