After receiving Marin's secret letter, Edward was overjoyed:

"Marin is really a scheming man!"

Marin would roll his eyes when he heard that - can you put it another way? How nice does "resourceful" sound......

But in fact, in Edward's eyes, Marin was a scheming man, not a "resourceful man". The root cause is that Edward didn't believe Marin.

At the beginning, Edward used Marin's forces to seize the throne of England, which was also a helpless move. Because no one else can help him do this. However, this does not mean that Edward believes Marin, even if his life was saved by Marin. In Edward's view, what Marlin wanted was nothing more than a fief. Of course, there is also the possibility of his son marrying his daughter, Princess Margaret, to obtain the throne of England.

In short, Marin is an outsider, an outsider with interests to pursue. So, Marin is not "resourceful", but "scheming"......

However, Edward had to admit that Marin was really good at scheming, and he could always think of good ideas that he couldn't think of.

For this "persuasion" model, which according to Marin said to have been learned from China, Edward really liked it. Because, to a large extent, this satisfied Edward's unreasonable need to "want to snatch the Scottish throne and get a good name at the same time".

Although, the "persuasion" model can definitely be seen by really smart people. But what does it matter? To put it bluntly, the "persuasion" model is only to fool the people and collect the hearts of the people, so as not to cause the people to rebel in the future. As for whether the big nobles can see it or not, it doesn't matter, as long as the Scottish people are fooled......

The most important thing is that Edward does not need to fool the Scottish people forever, as long as he fools them for ten or eight years, and when the situation in Scotland is completely stabilized, even if the people react, it will be too late. By that time, Edward's rule in Scotland had stabilized, and rebellion had become pointless, and there was only one way to go, defeat.

……

Later, Edward "talked" with the captured Scottish nobles and asked them to take the initiative to support him as king of Scotland. In return, Edward will ensure their safety and wealth.

Because his life is in Edward's hands at the moment, what can these Scottish nobles say? Therefore, several people pinched their noses and agreed to play a "persuasion" drama with Edward......

Then, in London, in front of the envoys of many countries, several captured Scottish nobles shamelessly performed a farce of "persuading" Edward to become king of Scotland......

The envoys of several European powers who were watching were so shocked that they almost dropped their jaws -, snatch the Scottish throne, can you still play like this? Edward, this guy is the old cannon in the metropolitan city of London? You really know how to play......

In the incredulous eyes of the messengers, several Scottish earls who wanted to survive and keep their glory and wealth went out and began to play in mode......

"Your Majesty Edward, now that the throne of Scotland is vacant, the most orthodox king has been replaced by John Edward. Stewart's bastard murders, and that bastard gets what he deserves. Now the Scottish dragons are leaderless, and there is chaos! Only you are so moral, talented, idealistic, and ambitious...... The key is that there is a great 'five haves' king who is worthy of being the king of Scotland! "The "respected" Count of Marle, Alexander. Erskine was the first to speak. He used Latin, the lingua franca of the European aristocracy.

"Yes, yes, none of us will accept it, so we will obey you! Only you are the most suitable king of Scotland! "John the Earl of Rose. Leslie isn't far behind.

"There is no better man in the world to be the King of Scotland than you!" And John, the Earl of Bakken, who has always been low-key, also exaggeratedly agreed.

……

It should be pointed out that John, Earl of Buchan, whose full name is also John. Stewart is a member of the Stewart family. However, they are collateral branches. Because, the first Earl of Bakken, is a descendant of the fourth son of Robert II, the first king of the Stuart dynasty of Scotland. And after Robert II, there was Robert III, then James I, then James II, then III, and IV......

Although his surname was Stewart, his order of succession was much lower than that of James II's grandson, James, Earl of Alain. Hamilton. Because, in Europe, daughters also have the right to inherit. Even if the princess can't be the queen directly, the princess's son and the order of succession are far above the members of the side branches of the family......

……

Edward was almost moved when he saw several Scottish earls say "sincerely", if he didn't know that it was fake. Seeing a few opponents playing, I can't fall behind. So, he said sadly:

"God is jealous of the talent, I think that at the beginning, when we sent His Majesty James IV back home, we talked for a long time, and we talked all night...... James IV was a good king with ideals and aspirations. Before he went back, he told me that he wanted to make Scotland and England friendly for generations to come. We even agreed that if His Majesty James IV gave birth to a son and I had another daughter, we could marry as sons and daughters...... I didn't expect ...... I didn't expect ......" as he spoke, Edward's acting skills exploded, and his eyes were full of tears......

"Woo, Your Majesty James, you died so unjustly! I didn't expect that as wise as you would die in the hands of a pair of annihilators! Edward actually cried, much to the surprise of everyone present—it was so sincere, it didn't look like a disguise......

However, several Scottish earls were sneering in their hearts......

Why? Because they witnessed Edward and James IV secretly sign a secret treaty of mutual succession. Although I don't know why Edward didn't take out the treaty, obviously, these earls from Scotland suspected that Edward was the hand. However, the assassination took place near Edinburgh, and they are also somewhat uncertain.

……

"Your Majesty's condolences!"

At this time, several Scottish earls instead persuaded Edward in tears. There is no way, if they don't cooperate, their lives may be in danger......

Edward managed to stop crying, and then righteously refused:

"How can Edward (Marin's lines designed are too oriental, but very 'official'), can you look up to them? Let's talk about the Scottish throne! Apparently, Edward refused for the first time, according to the script.

"No, Your Majesty Edward, the Scottish Throne is none other than you! None of us would agree to anyone else! ”

……

At this time, the French envoy Mbappe coughed and proposed:

"Since His Majesty Edward does not agree, how many people should consider our Majesty Louis XII? That's a wise and martial king! ”

"Shut up!" Several Scottish earls in the drama said in unison, making Mbappe's tanned face even darker - too slap in the face......

……

Unsurprisingly, Edward refused a second time as scripted. But after Edward's second refusal, James Earl of Alain, as an important figure. Hamilton suddenly shouted with emotion:

"Your Majesty, I beg you! If you are not willing to accept the throne of Scotland, I would rather die in front of you! With that, he took out a short knife and put it around his neck. If Edward refuses again, he will commit suicide.

And several other Scottish earls also said sadly:

"Without the Emperor, Scotland has no future at all. If Your Majesty doesn't agree, we'll all die on top of the palace!" Anyway, there is no future for Scotland! ”

After saying that, several people neatly crashed into the stone wall of the palace. But coincidentally, there were several English Praetorian Guard fighters standing by the wall, who stopped them "in time......

Edward's face was full of horror at this time, and he said:

"How can all the great men be like this? I promise you that you will not kill yourself again, I will be heartbroken! After speaking, he deliberately put on a helpless expression.

Then, a few Scottish earls, who had just been looking for life and death, immediately came back to life as if they were full of blood, and shouted long live, as if they had picked up five million......

……

On the side, several envoys from various countries who were invited to come as background boards were stunned, and their mouths couldn't close for a long time......
