Chapter 128: The Edict of Guilt
After seeing the three real diplomatic documents, Mikel immediately became frightened and weak. He knew www.biquge.info that once these three diplomatic letters were sent, he would become a sinner in Denmark.
Moreover, the monarchs of Europe will never admit their mistakes, and will definitely find the ministers to take the blame. As the Prime Minister of Denmark, isn't Mikel the best backbiter?
After figuring this out, Mikel nodded reluctantly and agreed to go to the Duchy of Schleswig. For this reason, Mikel ordered the family to be cleaned up and moved to Schleswig.
However, even after moving to the Duchy of Schleswig, Mikel was still worried that he would be the bearer of Denmark's defeat. Once the black cauldron is carried on his back, perhaps the Danes will find a way to kill him. As a veteran politician, he knows all too well what this is all about. Even if he went to the Duchy of Schleswig and became a palace minister, the Danish king Hans would still send someone to kill him in order to find someone to blame. After all, there were also many Danes in the Duchy of Schleswig, and perhaps, they would have assassinated Mikel while he was unprepared.
As soon as Mikel died, then Hans would put all the pots on his head. Then, Hans was also the master of Denmark......
Mikel told Marin about this concern. Marin thought that Mikel's concern was very reasonable, so he helped come up with an idea to solve the problem. After thinking for a long time, Marin slapped his thigh and said:
"Yes, we can make King Hans the next "Guilty Edict"!"
Didn't King Hans want to shake the pot? Then, Marin planned to find a way to let King Hans make a "guilty edict" before he threw the pot, and openly put the pot on his back......
"The Edict of Guilt? What is that? Mikel was puzzled.
Marin suddenly remembered that European emperors did not have the habit of issuing "Guilty Edicts". The emperors of Europe repeatedly emphasized the "divine right of kings". Even if something goes wrong, it's all blamed on incompetent ministers, or the devil (such as the Black Death). Anyway, the king is right, either the minister is wrong, or the devil is wrong......
However, it doesn't matter if he has a "Guilty Edict" in Europe, Marin is here, and he can give one of them......
So, Marin took Mikel and began to issue the first "Edict of Guilt" in Europe in the name of King Hans, using the king's stamp and special ink in his hand......
In this first European edict, Marin, in the name of King Hans, informed the Danish subjects, that it was me, and that he had mistaken the slander of the villain Lord Thomas of the Admiralty, Simonsen, the Minister of War, and Doulson, the Chancellor of the Exchequer, and without investigation, rashly sent warships to persel the East Friesian Lamber, and by mistake, burned the spice ships of Lübeck and Hamburg, leading to the disaster of war......
In fact, when it came to choosing the words, Marin and Mikel had a heated discussion, and finally chose to let King Hans dump the pot and throw the pot on the three favored ministers. In this way, it is easy for the Danish monarch to be filthy. If King Hans carried the pot down with all his might, it would seem abnormal, and throwing the pot to three powerful subordinates was the most common practice......
Then Marin remembered Prince Frederick, the younger brother of King Hans. This was the case when King Hans's son, Christian II, ascended to the throne and became King of Denmark after he was deposed by the Danish aristocracy. Speaking of this, Marin remembered the funny Christian II. This product is a strange thing in the European royal family, as a king, but close to the burgher class and the small aristocracy, against the big aristocracy. As a king, he had a "revolutionary spirit". Eventually, he was deposed by a coalition of the Danish nobility, and the throne passed to his uncle Frederick.
Thinking of this, Ma Lin suddenly had an idea and added this paragraph to "The Edict of Guilt":
"I was stupid, and I did little to become king, and I brought disaster to Denmark. My younger brother, Frederick, is a rare talent. Unfortunately, I was born earlier than he was able to take the throne. Or, if Frederick is the king, he will do better than me......"
This passage is obviously intended to sow discord between King Hans and Frederick. In fact, Frederick is now Duke of Schleswig-Holstein. Of course, he, the duke, is just a fictitious title. Because, the two principalities were actually controlled by the courtiers sent by King Hans before. Frederick, in fact, usually lives in Copenhagen and does not travel to the two principalities.
Marin suddenly remembered that he had become Duke of Schleswig, but Frederick did not seem to have publicly renounced his title......
As a result, Marin recruited Frederick and used the "folding method" to coax him to sign the official document, expressing his willingness to publicly renounce the titles of the Duchy of Schleswig and the Duchy of Holstein, and would never regret it in the future.
Then, Marin asked Mikel to send this official document to the entire Kalmar Union and send it abroad......
After solving this problem, Marin and Mikel continued to enthusiastically help King Hans write the Edict of Guilt. However, writing back and forth is nothing more than an indication that I am stupid and have a low IQ. Heck, my brother Frederick is so much smarter than I am. If he were king, he would do a better job than I did......
Moreover, in the "Edict of Guilt", "King Hans" also vaguely expressed the idea of passing on the throne to his younger brother......
After compiling the first "Edict of Guilt" in European history, Mikel, in the name of the Danish Prime Minister, copied hundreds of copies of this "Edict of Guilt" and sent it to all parts of the country, and even to neighboring Germany.
"Haha, it's done, so I don't have to take this responsibility!" Mikel said excitedly.
In "The Edict of Guilt", King Hans of Denmark is tantamount to taking the responsibility and the mistake on himself. Well, Hans's three favorites are also mentioned in it. In this way, people all over Denmark, and even all of Europe, knew about it. When the time comes, it will be difficult for King Hans to put the pot on Mikel's head. Because, he himself has already taken the blame, and the trouble is known to the whole world......
Thinking of King Hans's depressed appearance and vomiting blood, Marin laughed happily......
Moreover, he also earned a cheap prime minister......
You must know that Mikel has been the prime minister of Denmark for 10 years, and he is the best at handling government affairs. At least, much better than Jeffrey and Heideman. After all, he is the prime minister of the entire Kalmar Alliance, and his experience and level are far from being comparable to the prime minister of a petty country like Jeffrey.
Moreover, after Mikel issued those three diplomatic documents and the "Guilty Edict" this time, he has already isolated himself from Denmark, and it is unlikely that he will hook up with Denmark again. For King Hans must have been tempted to crush him......
In this way, Marin could safely appoint him as Prime Minister of the Duchy of Schleswig. With such an "old driver" here, I am not worried about problems in the Duchy of Schleswig......
