Chapter 1125: "Queen" and "Cabinet"
When she heard that there was no old Hoffman's name in the five-member regent, Lady Mary's face suddenly changed. She knew that her husband's previous naming of Adler's son had finally stimulated Marin.
She wasn't worried that Marin would treat herself and old Hoffman badly in the future, but she was just worried that Adler's son would be harassed by Marin in the future.
When she returned to her lodgings, Madame Mary squirted old Hoffman severely. Old Hoffman heard the anger, but he did not dare to be angry with Lady Mary, so he wanted to spray Marlin. But Lady Mary immediately grabbed him and stopped his recklessness.
If old Hoffman really went to spray Marin, Marlin might not say anything, but he would have put the account on Adler's son. When the time comes, Little Muti may be targeted. If the Hoffman family had been fratricidal within themselves, it would not have been what Lady Mary wanted to see.
But Lady Mary didn't know that even if old Hoffman didn't make trouble, Marlin was guarding against his brothers......
For example, after the five-member regency was decided, Simon, who was originally in Aurich, was transferred to his hometown of Bochum as the local military governor, in charge of about 1,000 soldiers and horses. Marin called it "sitting in his hometown", but in fact, he drove him out of the capital to avoid his own accident. After all, the example of Richard III is there. Of course, if Marin came back safely, it didn't matter if the goods came back or not.
And in order to avoid everyone's bad face, Marin did not immediately publish the will. After all, he's not dead. But he publicly sealed his will in the palace compound with cement. Once he can't come back, the will will be made public. That's when the brothers were forbidden to go back to Aurich. If it is announced now, and he himself comes back, he will be criticized. After all, this order is too ruthless for the brothers. In particular, the phrase "killing" is not appropriate to be made public. But if he died, it didn't matter if the order was made public. Anyway, he's all dead, and no one can spray him, and if there is a kind, you can kill yourself and accompany him first, and then you can spray him......
……
Not only were the old Hoffmans unhappy with Marin's decision, but Angela also seemed unhappy with Marin's decision. Of course, Angela doesn't like power, but thinks that she, as Caesar's mother, loves her son more than those five people. She is not very relieved to let someone else be the guardian.
In fact, old Hoffman was dissatisfied, not because he had no rights, but because he felt that he had no face - his son let outsiders regent, and he didn't let Lao Tzu participate, how faceless...... Before, Marin went on the expedition, and he was still the military commander of Aurich, but this time it was nothing, and it seemed a little faceless......
For Angela's little emotions, Marin thought about it and decided to tell the truth:
"My dear, I am sure I believe that you are good to Caesar. But the thing is, you're still young. If I really can't come back, maybe, you'll marry someone else......"
"No, no, I won't marry someone else! I love you alone! Even if you don't come back, I'll raise Caesar alone! Angela shook her head excitedly.
Marin hesitated, but said:
"Angela, I have no doubt about your loyalty to me. However, have you ever thought about it, you are only in your twenties. If I don't come back, will your father make you a widow? Have you forgotten the strong resistance we faced when we got married? Originally, if I hadn't detained him temporarily, I guess our wedding wouldn't have been able to go ahead......"
Angela thought for a moment, and then said weakly:
"Didn't he agree later......
"Yes, he agreed, but the situation forced it. After all, he was just a fleeing bishop. You have sworn to marry me, and he has no right to declare our marriage null and void, so he can only accept it. But, have you thought about it? He's a pope now, and he's capable of intervening in a lot of things......"
Angela was silent for a moment, she had a good IQ and was familiar with her father. His father is a domineering and profit-oriented person. If Marin can't come back, his father may really force him to remarry. In particular, he may force himself to marry back to Italy so that he can be closer to him...... Strictly speaking, her father and husband are the same kind of people, both of whom are very controlling......
Thinking of this, she suddenly hugged Marin tightly and cried with a whimper:
"Can't you not go to the East? With you, I can feel at ease and be happy! ”
Marin comforted:
"Don't worry, I've got 10 large warships with me. As long as you avoid summer storms, safety is still high. In fact, this regency is just a last resort. Generally speaking, I'm not in any danger! ”
For this voyage, Marin had a batch of inflatable cowhide skiffs and lifebuoys sewn and glued out of cowhide, as well as standard life jackets. As long as it doesn't happen in the middle of the Pacific Ocean, there is still a good chance of survival.
Of course, he was afraid that he would be on an uninhabited desert island. Even if he came back by luck, the result was that his wife remarried......
If that's the case, it's called sadness. Moreover, the chances of people going to sea encountering this kind of thing are not small.
So, Marin and Angela agreed to wait for him for 5 years...... lest I be delayed and unable to come back for the time being, but cause all kinds of mistakes......
……
At the same time, Marin also felt that it seemed that it was unreasonable not to let his relatives participate in the regency.
Therefore, after thinking about it, Marin made up another order - the regency plan of the five-member group remains unchanged, but the final proposal of the five-member group needs to be reviewed and signed by Angela and Lady Mary...... Of course, the premise is that Angela is still the Grand Duchess of Beihai Kingdom......
The reason why Lady Mary was chosen with Angela is because Lady Mary has a certain amount of political wisdom and experience far beyond Angela.
What's more, Marin knew that of the four sons, Lady Mary liked her the most and often favored herself. Unlike the elder Hoffman, who favored the eldest son Adler the most.
So, Marlin asked Madame Mary to sign the signing, but not Old Hoffman. The reason is that Lady Mary had a systematic education of great nobility...... It's almost clear that old Hoffman is a scumbag......
Also, the elder Hoffman asked 16-year-old Marin to leave home to make a living, which made Marin a little unhappy. Although the emperor had a rare opportunity to recruit troops at that time, Marin was only 16 years old. The other wandering knights were kicked out of their homes at least when they were 18 years old. And many wandering knights will not be kicked out of their homes until they are 21 years old.
Letting his underage self leave home to make a living, although it gave him the opportunity to cross, it also proved that the elder Hoffman did not attach much importance to his predecessor Marin. Otherwise, such a rash decision would not have been made. At first, Madame Mary was resolutely opposed, but the elder Hoffman was too resolute......
Therefore, even if Marin does not remember the old Hoffman's hatred, he is not worried that this eccentric old man will take care of Caesar. He wasn't worried that the old Hoffman would murder Caesar, but he was just worried that after the old man took power, he would transfer Adler back to control the overall situation. After all, in the eyes of the old man, Adler is the most trustworthy. And if Adler takes control of the military power, it will be difficult to say in the future. Even if Adler didn't have bad intentions, Marin wasn't sure if little Muti would have an idea when he grew up......
……
Moreover, neither Lady Mary nor Angela actually has the right to decide. They only have the right to sign and the right to veto, and both of them veto together to take effect. This duty is somewhat like that of the Queen of England in later generations. And the five-member regency is also somewhat like the cabinet of later generations......
