Mary Stuart died.

Died on the guillotine, in the winter months later.

Everyone has a different understanding of her death.

In the eyes of literary scholars, the death of Mary Stuart is poignant. They compared her to Mary Antonette - another guillotine queen.

They believe that the fates of Mary Stuart and Mary Antonette are both striking and legendary, the final embodiment of an era, and that they are inevitably and involuntarily destined for the end of their lives.

History is a big stage, and everyone plays out their glorious or bumpy life according to the script in the dark. But since fate is destined for them to perform a tragedy of "falling red and returning to silence", they can't choose.

That's their fate.

In the eyes of historians, the death of Mary Stuart is a clarion call for the changes of the times. In the bloody sixteenth century, the decline of the royal family, the division of the aristocracy, the decline of the knights, the Reformation, and all kinds of events spread like a plague to the European continent, including the British Isles across the sea.

At a time when people were losing faith in the corrupt Holy See, the chaos was only a prelude to a change in history!

Under the concealment of the vestments, there was a larger and more turbulent undercurrent that was about to stir, that is, the bourgeoisie, which was hated by the ruling class and the actual strata at that time.

No force can stop the progress of history, and Mary Stuart, who represents the decaying knightly class, and Mary Antone, who clings to the declining feudal monarchy, will eventually be buried under the flood of the new era.

Their death is the clarion call for the arrival of a new era!

In the eyes of the Sect's *Sectarians, especially the conservative Lord's* Sectarians, Mary Stuart fell, but in the hearts of many people, she stood up forever.

Just as Mary Stuart embroidered a sentence on a satin garment before her execution: My end is my beginning.

On the eve of her imminent loss of life, she suddenly understood that only her tragic death was the beginning of glory! Catholics all over the world, as well as the Holy See, will remember her death as a great martyr, and she will go down in history.

She and her companions believed that this was her last and greatest success against the enemy against whom she had fought for more than twenty years, Elizabeth I!

However, history does not change by the will of an individual, even if that person is a noble queen - people do not criticize Elizabeth I more harshly, and everyone respects and praises the queen who brought them into the golden age!

And the great queen was sitting in front of me at this time, holding the piece of paper that symbolized Spain's declaration of war on Great Britain.

Shortly before that, there was another sheet of paper that was very similar, except that the place where the payment was made was written in France, and the rest of the content was basically the same.

She was silent, keeping her eyes back on my face, and a moment later handed me the paper in her hand.

"What do you do?" Elizabeth I asked, with no panic in her eyes, only stress.

I picked up the piece of paper, tossed it aside, and smiled, "It's not unexpected. The soldiers will come to block it, and the water will come to cover it. ”

Elizabeth I smiled bitterly, patted the table lightly and said, "It's good to have faith." But ......"

I smiled and said, "Your Majesty, haven't you been preparing for war all these years?"

Elizabeth I stared into my eyes and said lightly: "That's right, I've been preparing for war, but this doesn't mean that we can compete against Spain and France at the same time!"

I nodded and smiled, "That's a problem."

When the queen saw my expression, she couldn't help frowning and said, "So, do you have a way to solve this problem?"

I slowly picked up the teacup, took a sip, and gently put it down. Pursing his lips vigorously, he said slowly: "I encountered a similar situation when I was in the Ming Dynasty. The best way to deal with such an enemy with different intentions is to ......"

"Divide them!" Elizabeth I's eyes lit up.

I smiled slightly and said, "That's right! However, judging from the current situation, the core interests of West France and France are not very different, and it is very difficult to have a war between them! ”

Isabella listened to the side, and when she saw that after I finished speaking, her aunt frowned, and couldn't help but say anxiously: "Your Excellency, what do you want to say?" Is there really a way? ”

I smiled at Isabella and said, "There is a way, but not to let them kill each other, but to find a way to make them lame!"

The two of them looked at each other, then turned to look at me, and I looked at Elizabeth I faintly and said, "Between Spain and France, which do you think is easier to break?"

Isabella replied instead: "Naturally, it's France!"

I raised an eyebrow and said with an interesting "oh", "I want to hear it!"

Isabella is like a treasure: "Although Philip II was tyrannical, he had great prestige, and he was afraid that he would be difficult to replace if he did not experience major changes."

I nodded, and Isabella continued: "France is different, Catherine has been regent for the second time, but this is the so-called strong slave oppression of the master, and it will not last long."

I nodded my head as I listened, this girl has excellent insight and quick thinking, and is definitely a great help to the Queen. And she herself has excellent conditions, and her appearance is excellent, but for some reason, the queen has always kept her by her side and refused to let her marry.

An excellent woman like this will definitely become a valuable bargaining chip and firmly tie up a prince for the queen!

I said to myself, but what came out was something else: "That's true! In France today, Henry III is weak and incompetent, but Henry, who is from Navarre, is very strong. ”

Elizabeth I nodded, "You two are reasonable, but as far as I know, Henry has converted to the Catholic Church a few days ago, and I am afraid that we are not still of the same mind."

I shook my head and smiled, "Her Majesty is wise, but you only know one thing, not the other. The reason why Henry did this was just a drama to take what he wanted and must give it first. ”

Elizabeth I was obviously overjoyed at first, and then wondered: "Qilan seems to know the inside story very well!"

I smiled helplessly: "Henry was not willing to make a compromise at the beginning, and I seem to have said the same thing to him!"

Elizabeth I raised her eyebrows, and after a long time, she was relieved: "The wisdom of the East is indeed broad and profound!" Qilan, if you can help me win, I will give you the greatest glory and wealth in the world! ”

I saluted Elizabeth I and said, "Thank you for your trust! I will do my best to accomplish this! For you, for me, and for my fiancée, whose whereabouts are still unknown! ”

The queen was silent for a moment, then suddenly looked at Isabella, whose eyes were twinkling, and said, "I sympathize with your plight, Qilan. There's always a better option, though, isn't it? ”

When Isabella heard this, she shrugged her chest proudly, and looked at me silently, with burning eyes.

Naturally, I understood what Elizabeth I meant, and what the greatest glory in the world meant. But I really wasn't interested in getting involved in their messy relationship, nor was I in competing with someone like Raleigh.

So I spoke again: "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your concern!" There are three thousand weak waters, and I only take one scoop to drink. I hope you can bless me and find my fiancée soon. ”

Elizabeth I seemed to sigh, and Isabella's gaze darkened significantly, but the queen was a queen after all, and she looked at me with a smile and said, "It's okay, it's not too late to talk about personal affairs first!"

Naturally, I laughed at it.

For the next period of time, the whole of Europe seemed to be in a frenzy, which was a normal fluctuation before the war, and the stronger the fluctuation, the greater the intensity of the war.

Spain began to gather troops, France also practiced frequently around Bordeaux, but the main players, the United Kingdom, were as calm as water, and the Netherlands did not seem to make too many moves.

In fact, everyone has their own things, but they know different groups. For example, Jack Bravo once asked the queen why the war was imminent, but the Marquis of Mexico, who was a strong fighting force, was nowhere to be seen!?

Elizabeth I is said to have smiled and said, "He is where he ought to be, and he is doing what he ought to do." ”

Veteran Jack Bravo naturally kept silent.

In fact, at this point I had already left England, and as for my exact location, well, I was in Paris!

More precisely, I was in a manor house in the western suburbs of Paris.

This is Henry's estate, heavily guarded, loose on the outside and tight on the inside.

In fact, according to history, Henry's succession will have to be delayed for some more time, but according to the current situation, we can't afford to wait!

I can't say why, but it's clear that a lot of things are already in advance! If we continue to deal with it according to the known history, we are afraid that we will suffer a heavy blow that we cannot bear!

So I came here early, and I had only one purpose, to help Henry take the throne! Or at least, to make France leaderless......

Last night, Henry pretended to be a spring hunt and came to meet me secretly, and he was very excited, even a little excited!

At present, Paris is surging, and the competition of forces in all directions is close to seeing the end of the day!

Henry III was very dissatisfied with his mother's long-term obedience to politics and her grip on real power, and repeatedly voiced his opposition in public.

The Empress Dowager Catherine was indifferent, and always referred to her child, Henry III, as an ignorant child.

Although the tone is not yet torn, the situation can still be basically controlled by the old guys in the Senate. But they have no obvious tendencies, as if they are very happy to see this noble woman love and kill each other!

This is worth pondering. Especially recently, Catherine removed the captain of the guard next to Henry III, on the grounds that this guy was not sincere enough and was afraid of risk.

But everyone knows that this captain of the guard has been serving Henry III since he was born. If this person is not faithful, then there is no such thing as loyalty!

Henry III was angry, and left aside the important matter of preparing for war, and even left the new captain of the guard that Catherine had placed beside him, and came to the Danfeng Dew Palace with some attendants, ready to hunt for fun!

Oh! And such harmonious news? I couldn't help but look at Henry with a smile, until he was slightly panicked, and I smiled and said, "Henry, my friend, maybe your luck is really not far away!"
