Chapter 531: Eliminate Anger

Marin was directly confused by Frederick III's contrasting performance, and was stunned for a moment, not knowing what to do.

Truth be told, he was tempted to draw his sword and stab a few holes in Frederick III's body to vent his anger. However, that is not possible......

The unspoken rule of the European aristocratic circle is that unless there is a blood feud such as killing the father, if you catch the other party, you are not allowed to harm the other party's life. And the captured nobles also have the right to redeem themselves with money.

You know, it was a prisoner of war, and he was captured by himself. And Frederick III was not a prisoner of war in Marin, and the current occasion is also the scene of negotiations. Neither in the ancient East nor in the ancient West had no reason to draw a sword and kill the opponent of the negotiations. Unless, that person is a madman, or an assassin who has infiltrated earlier......

Therefore, Frederick III dared to make this decision and gesture only after he decided that Marin would not dare to risk the world's condemnation and kill himself at the negotiation site.

Moreover, this practice works wonderfully well. Marin was stunned for a moment, and he didn't know how to deal with it for a while. The other princes had more ideas......

Many princes, especially secular princes, were full of emotion. In their memory, Frederick III was a confident and charismatic nobleman.

They never imagined that Frederick III, who had once been invincible, would be reduced to the point of whispering and pleading with an upstart of the aristocracy. He even wanted to sacrifice his life to keep the land left by his family......

And so, they were deeply moved......

As a European aristocrat, safeguarding the interests and glory of the family is a truth that they have been instilled in since childhood. Although Frederick III disgraced his family's honor because of the disastrous defeat in the war. However, his courage to take responsibility and his willingness to put his life to appease the anger of his enemies in order to keep his family's domain was deeply appreciated by the nobles present.

And, not surprisingly, in this tragic scene, Marin properly became the villain who persecuted good people......

Originally, the princes were very dissatisfied with the arrogance shown by Marin in the negotiations, and even angry. Now, Frederick III has joined this tragic drama, and even added Mu Sandi to portray Marin as a supervillain. As a result, the anger of the princes increased......

Many people stared at Marin with angry eyes, and if the eyes could kill people, Marin would have been killed a hundred times by the eyes of the princes......

At the center of the maelstrom, Marin didn't see the angry eyes of the princes (including many religious princes), and he was still thinking about the purpose of Frederick III's unusual behavior......

But Pope Julius II, who had been watching from the sidelines, clearly saw the angry eyes of the princes—in addition to most of the secular princes, many religious princes also looked at Marin with angry eyes......

Julius II's heart suddenly "chuckled" and secretly screamed that it was not good......

You know, it's a terrible thing to be angry. In particular, Marin's offense was even more terrible. This is because this "public" is not the "public" of the ordinary people, but the public anger of the princes of the German real power.

The anger of ordinary people can still cause riots, let alone these princes with real power and powerful armies?

This time, as the Pope, he is in charge, and perhaps most of the princes can be suppressed. But what about next time? The anger is suppressed, and the next time it erupts, it will be even more violent......

Perhaps, after he leaves, the next time, after finding a suitable reason, the princes will re-discuss the formation of a coalition to crusade against Marin and put it into practice. Even, at that time, many religious princes chose to send troops to join the coalition because of anger. At most, they did not come forward and secretly sent people to participate. Anyway, it's all mercenaries these years. As long as the religious princes secretly pay for them and do not come forward themselves, even the Holy See will not be able to punish them without evidence......

Thinking of this, Julius II suddenly broke out in a cold sweat. In order to ease this tension, and at the same time fearing that Marin would add fuel to the fire, Julius II directly asked for a suspension of negotiations, citing his own ill health. Anyway, it's almost noon, so you might as well continue to talk about it in the afternoon......

……

In the secret room in the backyard of Worms Cathedral, Julius II and Marin, the sons-in-law, are plotting......

"Are you alright? Do I need to call a doctor? Marin looked at Julius II with concern on his face. Julius II was 62 years old after all, and having just made the long journey from Rome to Worms, Marin was worried that he would not be able to take it all along.

In fact, Julius II was in good health. Ever since Marin had selected two Mongol court doctors from the Golden Horde, and with them at his side, Julius II had been in good health and had rarely fallen ill.

Therefore, Julius II swept away the tired countenance he had just pretended, and said to Marin with great vigour:

"I'm fine, I just saw that the situation was not in your favor just now, so I deliberately let the meeting pause first. Marlin, didn't you notice? Just now, many princes in the venue glared at you angrily, with an expression of wanting to kill you. Even, many princes of the Holy See are among them......"

"So what? As long as you are in charge, most of them will give face. After all, there are really not many people who dare to openly not give face to the Holy See! Marin said confidently.

"But what if I leave? I can't stay in Germany forever and keep an eye on those nobles, can I? ”

Marin was dumbfounded, and then, he heard something unusual. So, he asked cautiously:

"What do you mean ......"

"You're too high-profile, even a little arrogant. This time, with me, many princes will choose to forbear. But what about after I'm gone? You know, anger is such a thing, it's hard to suppress it. After being suppressed for a long time, the next time it erupts, it will erupt violently like Mount Vesuvius...... Perhaps, the next crusade against your coalition will actually be formed! ”

Marin was not an arrogant and stubborn person, and after listening to the words of the Pope's father-in-law, Marin fell into deep thought......

Soon, he also realized that after the Pope's personal visit, he had indeed become much more arrogant in this negotiation, and even ignored many nobles......

Perhaps, this time he was indeed able to use the power of the Holy See to barely suppress those princes and get what he wanted. But it is true, as the pope's father-in-law said - what if Julius II is gone?

It is conceivable that those secular princes were originally unhappy with Marin. The Pope is no longer here to watch them, and it is easier to raise troops. And those religious princes...... Will they also join the crusade against their own coalition? This can't be done......

So, Marin told his father-in-law his questions......

Julius II scoffed:

"What's so hard about that? It would be enough for the religious princes to secretly pay for the mercenaries. As long as I don't disclose my identity, I just want to punish them, and I can't find anyone! ”

Ma Lin was taken aback, he only thought that the Holy See could suppress those religious princes, but he forgot that those princes could serve the yang and the yin......

As long as the secular princes formed a coalition army, those religious princes could privately contribute to help hire those German mercenaries, and then hand them over to the command of the coalition army. Then, they stayed out of the way and watched from the wall......

In the face of such a huge risk, Marin was also a little helpless. At the moment, the most important thing is to dispel the anger of the princes, further reduce the risk, and avoid the risk of Marin being jointly attacked in the future......
