Chapter 1402: Trapping Louis XII
Soon, Edward swept Marin with a majestic gaze, as if asking—did you teach your son's rogue methods?"
Marin waved his hand again and again and said:
"It's not me, I didn't teach him this!"
Edward understands in seconds - it turns out that he was born a little rascal......
Then, with a murderous gaze, he swept towards Caesar, who was still playing the kiss game. Caesar shuddered and stopped kissing the game......
But at this moment, Princess Margaret quit. She took Caesar's hand and said:
"Brother Caesar, kiss one more! You are a real prince, and a prince should be a princess! ”
Then, Edward's "majestic gaze of the king" suddenly failed......
Queen Anna, together with Angela, laughed and bent over. Women are different from men, and men are hostile to bad boys who dare to deceive their daughters. But women don't hate the kid who hooks up with their daughter. Unless, this kid's family is poor and unworthy of his own daughter. At this time, some mean mothers-in-law will make it difficult for their hairy feet son-in-law or prospective son-in-law.
However, Caesar is obviously not a poor boy, and his family background is completely worthy of Princess Margaret, and Queen Anna naturally does not hate Caesar. As for Caesar's petty hooliganism, it was cute in the eyes of Queen Anna...... Besides, this little big child can't get a human life......
……
Seeing Edward's unkind face, Marin immediately coughed heavily twice and reminded Caesar - Hey, stinky boy, don't use pickle tricks in front of other people's fathers...... If you want to play a hooligan, you have to carry someone's father behind your back......
Caesar was not a fool and woke up suddenly. Then, he suddenly changed into a Buddhist face, which seemed to be pampered and not shocked, which made the little princess Margaret who didn't know why feel very funny.
Then, to the shock of Mr. and Mrs. Edward and Mr. and Mrs. Marlin, there was a scene - Princess Margaret suddenly took the initiative to come up and take the initiative to "poop" Caesar's face, and her voice was loud......
Edward was dumbfounded—what is this? Upside down?
……
Seeing that Edward was about to go berserk, Marin hurriedly forcibly changed the subject-
"Your Majesty, what are you looking for me for?"
Edward finally reacted - he invited the Marin family to London to help him solve the problem, but he couldn't clean up little Caesar in person. Otherwise, Marin will be in trouble if he doesn't cooperate. So, after thinking about it for a while, he said:
"Well, lately, the remnants of the Tudor dynasty have been rampant. I received information that Louis XII had sent a number of elite soldiers to escort some of the remnants of the Tudor dynasty to Wales in the west and Lancashire in the northwest to incite the local people to revolt......"
But at this time, Marin glanced at Edward, and then glanced at Queen Anna next to him. It means - this is a woman sent by Louis XII......
But Edward waved his hand and said:
"It doesn't matter, although Queen Anna is French, she has no heart for France. She was the daughter of her father, and she would not think about France anymore. ”
Marin nodded, signaling that he understood. Edward continued:
"Now there is some instability in England, and there was something wrong before, and there was a little misunderstanding with the Fourth and Fifth Legions......" This "a bit of a misunderstanding" actually refers to Edward's desire to win over the Fourth and Fifth Legions after hearing about Marin's accident.
At first, Marin had the Fourth and Fifth Legions deliberately openly defect to Edward, but later openly returned to Marin's command. Among them, Edward also cooperated in a play.
However, the outside world does not know. When they saw that the Fourth Legion had first defected to Edward and then returned to Marin, they thought that the Fourth Legion and the Fifth Legion had turned against Edward. So, now there is a turmoil within England. Because, without the support of the Fourth and Fifth Legions, Edward's strength was not enough to fully control all of England.
"It's a trivial matter, I'll write a letter to Saqqara and Sivag, and it will be solved soon?" Marin was well aware of Edward's plans, but he was still playing dumb.
Edward sighed and said:
"That's not the problem, with the support of both the Fourth and Fifth Legions, I can certainly suppress the rebellion. However, it is better that this rebellion does not happen, and that it does not happen. Because, the insurgency will have a serious impact on the economy. His meaning was simple - it would be much cheaper to frighten those who wanted to rebel than to mobilize a large army to suppress it......
So, Edward invited the Marin family to London. Then, the two corps commanders, Saqqara and Sivag, were publicly summoned to show in London and tell the outside world that the Fourth and Fifth Legions were in favor of the royal family of York. In this way, the chaos in the country will soon subside. Because, no one wants to make a doomed rebellion. After all, a failed rebellion is a dead end......
To put it bluntly, Edward just invited Marlin to come to London to "put on a show" and show it to the whole of England - you see, Marin still supports me, and the two powerful legions of Marin's Fourth and Fifth Legions can still be used by me! The rebellion is bound to fail......
Edward's intention was to have Marin publicly summon the two corps commanders, Saqqara and Sivag, to London. Show off in front of all England. The fact that the two army commanders were willing to come to London and cooperate with Edward's performance showed that the two army commanders Edward was still in command. In this way, most of the turmoil in England can be suppressed. Even if France sends people to stir up trouble, there are not many who are willing to follow.
Marin naturally understood what Edward meant, and besides, this matter was not a big deal, but it was just a small matter. However, he will not say yes casually. Why should he do something that is not beneficial?
Therefore, after Marin took a sip of tea, he said slowly:
"What's going on...... It's not that you can't, it's just ...... It's a little difficult......" After saying that, Marin looked directly at Edward, meaning - it's time for you to bid...... It's not good, so I don't do it......
Edward's heart suddenly tightened, and he hurriedly waved his hand:
"I'm poor now, much poorer than you, and I can't get much benefit!"
Marin smiled and said:
"It doesn't have to be a possessions, we can use something else. For example, after ......" finished speaking, Marin's mouth was full and he looked at the little princess Margaret with an ignorant face. This really reminded Edward - why not, make a marriage for the child?
But Edward frowned:
"According to the Nantes Treaty we signed at the beginning, your son is only the second in line to marry my daughter. First in line, it should be the prince of France......"
In fact, Edward had already turned against the French, so he would not have any scruples about the "Nantes Treaty". He just didn't want to marry his daughter to Germany.
In addition, Edward also began to plan for the future - if he could not have a son, then Princess Margaret would be the Crown Prince of England. The queen energy storage to marry abroad? The nobility of England would certainly not agree.
Even, recently, some nobles proposed that if no prince was born, Princess Margaret should marry Henry, the eldest son of the murdered Princess Margaret, the sister of His Majesty Edward. Bohr. Although brother-in-law Richard. Pol killed his sister and showed his loyalty to Henry VII. But, Henry. Pol is the son of a real self-driving sister. In this way, if Edward had no male heir, Princess Margaret, as the crown prince, would not have to marry far away from England.
Edward was also very tempted by this plan, after all, he still had a deep affection for his sister. Otherwise, I wouldn't have given my daughter the same name as my sister. In addition, Edward is not old now, he is less than 38 years old, and it is very likely that he will give birth to a male heir. So, he's hesitant now......
……
Marin had apparently seen Edward's hesitation, and he had already learned of the proposal of a nobleman in England to marry Princess Margaret to his eldest cousin.
So, Marin used a killer ......
"Your Majesty, please move ......" With that, Marin stepped aside, away from Queen Anna's place.
"What's wrong? Grand Duke Marin? "Edward didn't know why.
Marin didn't say anything about his plan, but asked first:
"Your Majesty, do you really want to wait for Louis XII to give birth to a prince according to the Treaty of Nantes?"
Edward immediately shook his head:
"How is that possible? What if Louis XII didn't give birth to a prince? At most, I will wait until Margaret turns 18 to choose another husband for Margaret. ”
Marin said:
"It's not right to wait until you're 18 years old, you think, if His Majesty Louis XII gave birth to a prince when Princess Marguerite was 18 years old, would Princess Marguerite wait for Louis XII's prince to come of age? Generally, a prince will not marry until he is over 20 years old. Could it be that Duke Margaret will wait for him for 20 years? By that time, Her Royal Highness the princess will be 38, who knows if she will be able to have children? You know, women can't afford to wait......"
Ma Lin said that this is very reasonable, ancient women aged quickly, and they basically couldn't give birth when they were in their 40s. Moreover, in Europe, there are many deaths of 40-year-old women.
Edward hesitated for a moment and asked:
"So, what do you say?"
"I think Princess Margaret will have to wait two more years at most. After waiting for two years, Princess Margaret was only 10 years old, and even if her husband was 10 years younger, she could barely accept it. No matter how small it is, it won't be suitable......" Marin said.
Edward nodded, agreeing with Marlin's statement. Actually, it is also not appropriate for a woman to be 10 years older than a man. At most, two or three years old is amazing. In general, only men are many years older than women, and there is never a woman who is much older than men. The reason for this is that ancient women aged quickly, and the possibility of having children in their 30s was very low. After the age of 40, having a child is basically a miracle. Even if you can live, you will die for a lifetime. So, usually only men are bigger than women, and no women are much bigger than men. Of course, the exception is that the rich woman keeps the little white face......
At this time, Marin suddenly smiled and said:
"Your Majesty, you will inform the French side and tell Her Royal Highness Princess Margaret that she will only wait for the French prince for two more years. Otherwise, the marriage contract is annulled. The reason for this must be understood by the French side. Moreover, there will be a great benefit in doing so......" At this point, Marin's expression suddenly became very obscene......
"Oh, what's the benefit?" Seeing Marin's expression, Edward also became interested.
"Probably exhausted King Louis XII ......," Marin laughed.
"Tired of Louis XII? What is the truth? Edward didn't understand at first.
Marin hurriedly explained with a lewd smile:
"Your Majesty, Louis XII is different from us. He is 51 years old, and he is not in good health. If Your Majesty had informed him that he would have only been given two years to give birth to a prince, would he have been in a hurry to make a villain? And if he is old, and is busy doing that with the queen every day, his body will not be able to bear it. Perhaps, under this pressure, she will die in the belly of the queen. Hey hey ......"
Marin's words are not unfounded, originally in history, Louis XII died two years later in 1515 in the new queen Marie. Tudor's belly. Because, Louis XII was too anxious to have a male heir. Regardless of his old age and decrepitude, he "fought for a long time" on the belly of the queen. In the end, he also died on the belly of the new queen......
Right now, history has been changed by Marin. Queen Anne would not have died early because she had not suffered a physical collapse due to the birth of Princess Renee in 1510. However, Louis XII's heart for a son would not change. Even without the new queen Mary Tudor, she would have "worked hard" on Queen Anne's belly.
Marin had Edward put extra pressure on Louis XII, which would have made Louis XII even busier with Queen Anne......
But Louis XII was already 51 years old, and doing too much of that would definitely break the body. Coupled with his anxiety, Marin estimated that Louis XII would die earlier than in his original history. And the way to die, it is estimated that it will be similar. The only difference is that it changes a woman's belly......
Queen Anne is actually not very old, she is only 36 years old now, she has not yet reached menopause, and she still has "hard work". Moreover, a woman of this age is at the age of a wolf and a tiger. Presumably, there is nothing wrong with playing Louis XII......
In fact, speaking of which, the most dangerous situation for women in this era is probably to give birth to a child. After all, the ancient medical methods were backward, and giving birth to a child was similar to going through the ghost gate. Many noblewomen in Europe in this era died in the process of giving birth. Or, because of the birth of a child, the root of the disease, and then the disease died......
After Queen Anne was sterilized by Marlin, she was not in danger of giving birth to a child and dying. Wolf-like age, plus Louis XII is already old......
Thinking of this scene, Marin smiled obscenely. And after explaining it to Edward, Edward also laughed obscenely. That scene looks very penetrating - the two big men are hiding in the corner and laughing obscenely, which is absolutely not good......
Edward accepted Marlin's suggestion very happily, and then the English side quickly sent a letter to the Parisian side, stating that the little princess Margaret would wait for two years at most, and after the age of 10, she would not wait for the French prince. After all, it is not normal for a girl to marry a man ten years younger than herself......
Sure enough, Louis XII was in a hurry when he received the letter. That night, Louis XII forced his car with Queen Anne in his arms......
"For the Prince! For the male heir! To unite England! After shouting a string of slogans to cheer himself up, Louis XII tragically launched a "bitter battle" with the wolf-like Queen Anne......
In other words, Marin's move is too ruthless. This trick is not for Louis XII's interests, but for Louis XII's life......
