After the negotiations, Marin returned to China, and the emperor rode north with him to discuss matters with his son and grandson in Ghent, the Netherlands. This kind of thing is too secret, and the emperor does not dare to explain it in the letter, once it is leaked, it will be a monstrous disaster. Therefore, despite his 57-year-old age, the emperor rode north to the Netherlands and had a secret conversation with his son.

"What? Let Charlie marry Princess Anna? Prince Philip was taken aback when he heard the old emperor's plan.

But after listening to that vicious plan, unlike the emperor's guilt, Prince Philip, who was cold by nature, made up his mind almost without hesitation:

"Okay, let Charlie marry Princess Anna. But we must take the opportunity to ask His Majesty Vladislas II - Prince Lajos must marry Mary of our house! ”

Maximilian I also nodded:

"Of course, Prince Lajosh's marriage to Mary is the premise of all this."

In the face of huge interests, the father and son, who have always been at odds, stood on a tacit position for the first time. When the 16-year-old Prince Charles himself could not marry his beautiful and rich cousin, but could only marry the mediocre-looking Bohemian princess Anna, he was so angry that he did not want to eat for two days.

His younger brother, Ferdinand, was the opposite. When I learned that I could marry a beautiful cousin of the same age and get a lot of money, I was immediately happy. Before, because of his own conditions, he knew that he had no possibility of competing with his brother, and he was sad. Now, the wise grandfather actually asked his brother to marry the mediocre Princess Anna and let himself marry the "goddess" Princess Isabella, which simply made him overjoyed.

Seeing that his good grandson refused to eat for two days, Maximilian I was also helpless. However, Charlie is still young, and those intrigues can't be told to him, and it will be a big trouble if they leak out.

Therefore, Maximilian I could only find Charles, suggesting that if he married Princess Anna, he could get two very large and powerful kingdoms of Hungary and Bohemia, and their two crowns......

After all, Prince Charles was the one who was constantly taught by Maximilian I and spent a few months in Austria every year. Unlike the original history, although it was not taught by the wise aunt Margaret, but because his father did not die young as in the original history, the Netherlands did not need him, and Spain did not need him to take charge.

Therefore, every winter, Prince Charles would go south to Austria to escape the cold, and by the way, receive the teachings of his grandfather. Maximilian I was a higher statesman than his daughter Margaret. Under his tutelage, Prince Charles was no worse than Charles V in history.

Therefore, after two days of starvation, coupled with his grandfather's sincere persuasion, he reluctantly accepted this "cruel" fate.

However, no matter how much he asked, Maximilian I did not tell him why marrying Princess Anna would give him the kingdoms of Hungary and Bohemia.

Of course, he knew about the agreement signed between Maximilian I and Vladislas II to inherit each other's territories if the other side died out. But the heir of Bohemia and Hungary, Prince Lajos, is alive and well, is the grandfather planning to assassinate Prince Lajos? With all sorts of brain-replenishing thoughts, Prince Charles resumed eating.

While he was eating, his merry father also came to visit him. I saw the merry Prince Philip pat Prince Charlie on the shoulder and said:

"Don't be discouraged, son. Isn't it just marrying a princess who is not beautiful? Don't be afraid, it's a big deal that my father will find you ten or eight beautiful mistresses, and make sure that none of them is worse than Princess Isabella......"

Prince Philip relied on his handsome appearance and high status, and he harmed many girls in the Netherlands. There are more than a dozen mistresses alone, and his wife Juana is so angry that she often fights with him. But Prince Philip, as a classic scumbag, naturally has a lotus tongue and can speak well. Often Juana quarrels with him, and he can always coax Juana in the end. Then, move on to the slag......

Prince Charles was also a little dissatisfied with his father's behavior, but this kind of thing was common among the great nobles. Even his grandfather, Maximilian I, who seemed to be very decent, had two or three mistresses outside. In this era, the monarch has no mistress, and he is embarrassed to greet people when he goes out...... Even the dignified Pope, the previous Pope Alexander VI, had several mistresses. This Pope, Julius II, also had a mistress......

After figuring it out, Prince Charles said while eating:

"Okay, I'll give my cousin to my brother. But Dad, you're going to help me find some girls who look like my cousin......"

"No problem, find a few little lovers who look like Princess Isabella, right? Wrapped up in me! Prince Philip snapped his fingers, and soon called his subordinate who usually helped him find women, and took charge of this. In order to do a good job, Prince Philip sent his subordinates to make a trip to Lisbon under the pretext of giving gifts between relatives and saw the appearance of Princess Isabella herself. Then, go to the Dutch folk to find a little girl who looks like it......

Later, Prince Charles had a few more lovers who looked like his cousin. Moreover, every time he is with these lovers, Prince Charles automatically brings into the situation and calls them "cousin".

Then, after his younger brother married the genuine Princess Isabella, he also tried to secretly hook up with his cousin, who had become a younger sister. Thankfully, Princess Isabella ignored him, and Ferdinand moved to reduce his contact with his brother......

……

After the arrangement, only Prince Charles was left who was dissatisfied in the end. Of course, there is also an ignorant Princess Mary who was cheated without knowing it......

Afterwards, Maximilian I and Prince Philip sent representatives to contact Vladislas II and proposed a change of family. Vladislas II did not know that he had been cheated, and was very satisfied that his son would marry the noble Princess Mary, and then he made a marriage contract. However, because Maximilian I wanted to cooperate with Marin in acting, he suggested that he secretly sign a marriage contract and make an official announcement three years later. Vladislas II did not know why, but agreed anyway.

Then, it's time for acting......

The Habsburgs continued to contact the Portuguese royal family, ambiguously agreeing to the marriage, without specifying whether it was Prince Charles or Prince Ferdinand and Princess Isabella.

Then, according to the plan agreed upon by the father and son, Prince Philip publicly expressed his strong interest in the marriage of his second son, Ferdinand, to Princess Margaret of England.

But soon after, Emperor Maximilian I also stated that he did not support this marriage plan. But Prince Philip seems to have a tough attitude, saying that he will marry England......

This drama of father-son rivalry within the Habsburg family stunned the people who ate melons......

Subsequently, Ma Lin's statement made the melon-eating crowd even more excited - Ma Lin publicly stated, what is mine is mine, don't just grab it!

Obviously, the relationship between the once close Habsburgs and the North Sea Kingdom has caused a huge rift because of this incident......

Then the anti-Habsburg princes of Germany got excited......
