Chapter 1081: Tricks

Although it is ready, it will be a long time before the real naval battle breaks out. Because, at this time, the fleet of the Mamluk dynasty of Egypt and the ships and sailors supported by the Venetians had not yet left the Red Sea. From the Red Sea to the Arabian Sea and then to the Indian Sea, at the speed of the ship in this era, it still takes a long time.

The delegation of the Holy See eventually arrived in Paris, and the paintings from the royal palace in England were also delivered. When Edward heard that Margaret was pregnant, he was so angry that he almost went crazy. So, in order to verify the authenticity, Edward took out all the oil paintings of Margaret from the palace from childhood to adulthood and sent them to Paris.

But none of this worked, because Louis XII had found a pregnant woman who looked like Marguerite. There is no way, in France in this era, there is not much else, but there are many people. I was looking for a pregnant woman who looked like Margaret, and I happened to find it. What surprised Louis XII the most was that this pregnant woman named Nancy was actually the daughter of a French knight. As the daughter of a nobleman, although the knight family did not pay much attention to the cultural education of their children, Nancy still spoke Latin. It's just that it's not very skilled. After all, Nancy's knight family is a scumbag family.

It's just that Marguerite had already discussed with Louis XII - when the time comes, let Nancy pretend to be sick, isn't it normal for people who are seriously ill to not speak fluently?

For a moment, after getting Nancy, who looked like Marguerite, Louis XII came up with the idea of getting rid of the real Marguerite and replacing her with Nancy. After all, Margaret is too smart to control, how can her own people be reliable and easy to control?

However, Jones and others, who fled from England, frustrated Louis XII's plans. When Jones and other Tudor remnants arrived in France, they quickly found Margaret and proclaimed her Queen of England in exile. These people were familiar with Marguerite, which made it impossible for Louis XII to fool him. As for getting rid of Jones and the others as well, Louis XII also wanted to, but gave up. Why? Because Jones and these people were originally illegitimate children or side members of the great aristocratic families of England. These people were important for the restoration of the Tudor dynasty, and Louis XII could not get rid of them casually.

And after Margaret experienced two national ruins and two disasters of losing her husband, Gong Dou's ability value also rose very quickly, almost approaching Zhen Huan. She saw that Louis XII wanted to get rid of her, and in order to protect herself, she gathered Jones and the others around her. In addition, he also co-opted more remnants of the Tudor dynasty in exile in France to unite around him. In addition to this, Marguerite also co-opted the Scottish aristocracy in exile in France to support herself. These people have been in contact with Margaret for a long time, so they are naturally familiar with her. They can also see the difference between Margaret and Nancy at a glance. As a result, Louis XII could not easily move Marguerite.

……

Although there were internal fights between the two sides, the two sides remained unanimous in the face of the Holy See's investigation. In order to prove that Nancy who was lying on the bed and pretending to be sick was Margaret, Jones and others, as well as Scottish nobles in exile in France, came forward to identify themselves, took out their identification, and unanimously identified the pregnant woman lying on the bed as Margaret.

In this way, even if the representatives of the Holy See wanted to favor Edward, it would be difficult to decide. In the end, the Holy See delegation came to the conclusion that it seemed to be Marguerite herself......

This conclusion, although somewhat vaguely worded, is almost conclusive.

After getting the news, Marin and Edward were stunned - Nima, could it really be such a coincidence that the woman was actually pregnant at this critical moment?

Marin is fine, just a little confused. As for Edward, he was in a hurry. How angry is it? The Oriental porcelain that I bought from Marin at the last auction to put the façade in it was all broken......

"This Bichi, is she really pregnant? Made, if a seed of iniquity is born, won't it affect my Scottish throne? After dropping the porcelain, Edward was immediately worried.

However, after thinking about it, Edward still couldn't come up with a good solution. In desperation, he had no choice but to send an emissary to Aurich on a speedboat to ask for advice from Marin, a "scheming fellow".

But what can Marlin do? Now that things have come to this point, he is also a little helpless. In fact, the best solution is to assassinate Margaret, and it will be a hundred.

But the problem is that the information from Paris shows that the place where Marguerite now lives is extremely well protected. Even, that manor has now been converted into a military camp. Except for the mansion where Marguerite lived, the surrounding area was full of French soldiers, and the killers couldn't get into it at all.

"Forget it, since we can't find a solution, there is only one option......" Marin shook his head, giving Edward's secret envoy a rather rogue idea......

What a scoundrel idea? Marin asked Edward to bite John. Stuart and Margaret were the murderers of James IV.

At the same time, Marin had Edward declare that the children of the kingkillers had no right to the throne......

In John. Under the premise that Stuart and Margaret were kingkillers, their children were not eligible to inherit the throne. Edward then took the opportunity to ascend the throne as King of Scotland......

……

What the? You say Margaret denies it? Yes, there is a kind of coming to Edinburgh, let's have a joint trial of the century, and have a good debate. Provided you have the guts to come to Edinburgh......

If Margaret really dared to come to Edinburgh, she would not have been assassinated. Marin's suggestion was to blatantly arrest and execute her......

Why? For Margaret was the daughter of Henry VII the Kingkiller! Edward had sentenced the kingkiller's family to death, and she had just missed her. If you dare to come to Edinburgh, you will be caught, and you will be executed as the daughter of the king's killer. You say she is in question about the murder of James IV? I didn't say she must have been involved in the assassination of James IV. However, she was the daughter of Henry VII the King-killer, and this identity did not run. If you don't say it, kill it first......

……

And if Margaret doesn't dare to go to Edinburgh, this is easy to do. Edward could have said to all Europe—you see, she didn't even dare to go back to her home to debate, and she obviously had a ghost in her heart. So, nine times out of ten, she participated in the murder of James IV. Therefore, her children are all the evil seed of the kingkillers, and they are not worthy of the right to inherit the throne. Otherwise, Europe will not be messed up?

In short, Edward didn't care whether Margaret's pregnancy was real, he would "temporarily" take the Scottish throne first. If Margaret is not convinced, she will come to Edinburgh to debate, and wait until she can prove her innocence and John. Stewart's innocence made their children eligible to inherit. But can the innocence of the two be proven? Edward, who already controls Scotland, is clearly not going to give the other side a chance. Therefore, Edward could not stay on the Scottish throne for the first time......

……

After receiving Marin's almost fraudulent plan, Edward struggled for a long time. But he couldn't do it better. So, gritting his teeth, he carried out Marlin's trick - Edward announced, and Margaret clearly proved that she and John were in the middle of it. Before James IV's murder, Stewart temporarily assumed the throne of Scotland until the moment the facts were clarified......
