Saqqara loses Margaret. Tudor, naturally, was depressed. Moreover, because it was misled, the interception thing must have failed. However, he is also very busy now, and he has no time to intercept Margaret. Tudor business. Because, the Kingdom of Scotland still has a lot of things waiting for him.

First of all, the occupation of Edinburgh is not the same as the occupation of Scotland. So, he now needs to use the captives captured by Edinburgh to achieve full control of Scotland.

How to control it? It's very simple, let those original Scottish ministers help persuade you to surrender......

For example, Scottish Prime Minister Alex is the target of Saqqara's key strategy. However, this old man was very familiar with current affairs, and before he could wait for the torture to increase, he decisively took refuge in the "imperial army......

Then, on behalf of the Scottish Cabinet, Prime Minister Alex issued the order to surrender to the Scottish defenders in the south who were resisting the English army.

But there was one more important thing to do before ordering the army to surrender, and that was to redraw conclusions about the death of James IV......

This is important, only by "proving" that James IV was not killed by the English, it will be easier for the Scots to accept English rule. Otherwise, some Scots, who are not very good at their brains, will use this as a reason to resist to the end.

So, Prime Minister Alex first issued a statement......

In the statement, Prime Minister Alex admitted that the previous findings were forged and that they had been issued under duress from the Praetorian Guard, controlled by Queen Margaret. As for the few pieces of England-made plate armor that were used as evidence, they were simply the trophies seized by James IV during his invasion of northern England found in the warehouse. Then, Prime Minister Alex also took out the inventory list of those England-style moves, proving that he really didn't lie this time.

As for John. Prime Minister Stewart and Alex said that originally John . Stewart is under house arrest. But in the end Margaret. Tudor used the power of the Praetorian Guard to force him to release John. Stewart and put him on the throne......

Moreover, the surviving knights of the attack made it clear that when the Assassins retreated, they said that they would return to the Duke......

In the end, Prime Minister Alex concluded that His Majesty James IV was most likely John IV. Stuart and Margaret. Tudor conspired to assassinate him. Probably, the two had long been hooked up and eventually conspired to assassinate His Majesty James IV. After all, Gobridge Valley is too close to Edinburgh to be the work of the English, and it is much more likely that the domestic forces will do it......

……

This statement was very cleverly written by Prime Minister Alex, and he did not insist that England had done it, as he had done last time, and directly concluded that it was John Ahmed. Stuart and Margaret. Tudor conspired to assassinate James IV. For, even if he had so decided, the Scots would not have believed it.

So, he used the method of enumerating the facts, first rejecting the previous conclusions, and emphasizing that Margaret. Tudor coerced himself into making such a conclusion about the so-called "facts" (in fact, he was only talking to Margaret. Tudor is just a traitor). In this way, it gives a preconceived impression of John. Stuart and Margaret. Tudor lied......

Why are they lying? If it were those monarchs, they would surely understand that this was to make the country settle down quickly. But ordinary citizens, even middle and lower class aristocrats, don't understand......

At this time, the literacy rate in Europe was very low, and strategic politicians were extremely rare. So, most of them won't understand John. Stuart and Margaret. Tudor's intention to lie. In the eyes of ordinary people, since they are lying, then, they may be the real murderers. Otherwise, there is no need for them to lie......

It was by taking advantage of this psychology of ordinary people that Alex dared to "infer" in his statement that it was John. Stuart and Margaret. Tudor conspired to assassinate James IV. As for Scotland, I can see through John. Stuart and Margaret. The Tudor lied to the High Ministers...... I'm sorry, but I was all captured this time...... There were a few big nobles who could see through it before, and they were still locked up in London......

Therefore, this statement was issued so that no other free Scotsman could see through Alex's intentions. As a result, it is easier for them to believe that it is indeed John. Stuart and Margaret. Tudor, the dog-man and woman, murdered His Majesty James IV......

……

Even, in Edinburgh, several folk troupes, at the behest of Saqqara, began to perform a play called "Murder of My Husband".

The protagonists of the comedy also use the real-life names His Majesty James, the vicious Queen Margaret, and Duke John, who hooked up with Queen Margaret......

This play is clearly to tell everyone that James IV was killed by John. Stuart and Margaret. Tudor and the two women conspired to kill them.

As for the script, it is naturally from the great "dramatist" Marin. Feng. Hoffman's Hand. This play mainly borrows from the plot of Hamlet's uncle killing his brother and marrying his sister-in-law in Shakespeare's "Hamlet", as well as some plots in my "Wu Song's Killing of Sister-in-law". Although the plot is different, it also borrows a lot of classic lines.

However, because Marin's writing is very ordinary, a good classic, he wrote it into a third-rate soap opera script......

But it doesn't matter, because Shakespeare and other drama masters have not yet been born, and European theater is still a desert. Therefore, even if the script written by Marin himself is at the level of a third-rate soap opera, there is no better comparison with it.

Then, this third-rate soap opera-level drama called "Murder of My Husband" was extremely popular in Edinburgh. Then, because of the brainwashing of continuous performances, the citizens of Edinburgh basically believed that James IV was indeed John . Stuart and Margaret. Tudor conspired to kill him......

……

That's not all, Saqqara found a tall and strong man from the Scottish janissaries who died in battle, similar to the one Karn had reminded...... and bribed a Scottish knight who survived the assassination to identify him as the strong man who led the killing of James IV. Because, on the day of the attack on Edinburgh Castle, this buddy who died in battle happened to resist with an iron rod, and also wounded several soldiers of the Fourth Legion...... This is seen by many people, and this characteristic is too similar to the assassin who took the lead in smashing James IV to death with an iron rod......

Actually, this guy originally used a two-handed sword. But during the battle for the castle, his two-handed sword was cut off because of its poor quality. Therefore, he grabbed an iron rod from the side and waved it to resist. Then, several sword and shield soldiers of the Fourth Legion were also wounded. Eventually, he was killed by a musket.

Saqqara had an idea and suggested that a Scottish knight who had survived the assassination was identified as the one who led the assassination of James IV. Moreover, that buddy's figure is indeed very similar to Karn, plus he happened to hit people with an iron rod before he died...... Then, except for the surviving Scottish knight who was bought, the others also vaguely felt that he was right......

In fact, the surviving Scottish knight who was bought off had his leg broken and could no longer hold his position, and he had no future. It is foreseeable that his future life will definitely be embarrassed. Saqqara gave him a bag of gold coins and promised his son the right to become a knight without taking the exam (the son of an ordinary knight could not inherit a knighthood unless he passed a very strict tournament examination). Then, the surviving knight with a broken leg directly determined that the Scottish janissary who had died with an iron rod was the one who led the assassination of James IV......

In this way, after a multi-pronged propaganda, the Scots wanted to believe that James IV was John . Stuart and Margaret. It is difficult for Tudors to murder and die......

Seeing that they had succeeded in reversing black and white, Saqqara and Alex discussed that they could begin to recruit the southern Scottish defenders......
