The news that the Duke of Guise was in control of Paris, and that His Majesty and the regent Queen Catherine was in control of the wind, swept through France, and spread to England, Spain, the Netherlands, and Germany, and people were divided on the news.

As the Ambassador of the Kingdom of Britain to France, His Excellency the Ambassador officially issued a statement to the Duke of Guise, strongly condemning this move to seize power by force and control the king, and also issued a warning.

Subsequently, German vassal states such as Württemberg, as well as the Swiss states, sent letters of condemnation, strongly urging the Duke of Guise to withdraw his troops.

In addition to this, of course, the powerful Kingdom of Spain did not send a letter of condemnation, but only silenced after making a statement that was not salty or light.

In this way, the countries of Europe immediately read the message: Spain supported the Catholic League, headed by the Duke of Guise.

England, as well as some Protestant countries, supported the Huguenots.

Later, the Huguenot leader, Prince Condé, and Admiral Colligny issued a statement of condemnation, demanding that the Duke of Guise release His Majesty the King and the Queen Mother.

The Duke of Guise ignored this, and together with Montmorency, the head of the royal family, and the marshal Saint-André, he did a great thing.

In the palace, the maids were busy with their own affairs in a panic, and even the guards were not changed, as if nothing had happened last night.

But inside the palace, there was an air of unease.

The young Charles IX trembled and hid in the arms of Queen Catherine, secretly looking ahead, the formidable ministers.

He was only twelve years old, and he was so frightened that he didn't dare to make a sound, and he didn't dare to cry anything.

He could only shrink into his mother's arms, secretly looking at these familiar and unfamiliar ministers.

"Your Majesty the Queen Mother, please forgive me for my reckless behavior last night, the situation is really compelling, and we are also for the royal family!"

The head of the royal family, Montmorency, has always been a moderate and has the closest relationship with the royal family, so he will speak this time.

Looking at Montmorency's hypocritical appearance, the Queen Mother Catherine felt sick for a while, but at this time, the situation was unpredictable, and she could only endure it.

"Humph! The Governor, raided Paris in the middle of the night and broke into the royal palace, this is called for the royal family? How come I haven't heard of such a rule in the aristocracy! ”

Seeing that several of them were so kind to persuade each other, Queen Mother Caitlyn slowly calmed down, and she knew in her heart that she and her son must have nothing to do, and this group of nobles did not have the courage to kill the king.

In this way, she became bold, and her upper and lower lips moved lightly, sarcastically.

The words made several people look embarrassed, and their expressions were stunned, and they didn't know what to say.

They are really wrong, and their behavior last night was very immoral and insulting to the aristocracy.

So Montmorency and Saint-André turned their reproachful eyes on the Duke of Guise.

Seeing this, the Duke took a breath, ignored the gaze of the two, stepped forward, and explained softly:

"Your Majesty! You don't know! ”

I saw him bend down, and then look directly at the queen with a cold face, and said without humility or arrogance:

"Since the year before last you connived at the Huguenot heresy and issued the so-called Romorantan Edict, the whole situation in France has been in turmoil!"

"Catholics throughout France are very dissatisfied with the royal family, and if it continues, I am afraid that an unimaginable situation will occur.

And you know, there were 16 million Catholics in France, and only 2 million Huguenot heretics.

Your irrational behavior has actually hurt the authority of the royal family! ”

"For the sake of France, for the sake of the royal family, we have to act! France must not be allowed to fall into the hands of those heretics! ”

In the end, Duke Guise squeezed his palm fiercely and said sharply, his eyes as if he wanted to eat people.

Duke Guise's words struck Queen Catherine hard in the heart.

In fact, her leniency towards the Protestants was only due to her desire to strengthen the Huguenots, to balance the Catholic League and the Huguenots, so that the royal family would be the arbiter over them.

At this time, she realized that the gap in population could not be bridged, and the royal family was on this crater.

However, if they support the Catholic League, the Duke of Guise and others will definitely control the power of the whole of France, and the royal family will be even more dangerous.

For a while, the Queen Mother's whole person fell into a daze.

"Your Majesty the Queen Mother, this is a joint signed book by the French nobles, please abandon heresy, Catholicism is the only orthodoxy that the kingdom needs!"

The three of them took a step forward and persuaded in a persecutive way.

Such a powerful power made the Queen Mother Catherine's heart suddenly heavy, so let these Catholics fight!

"Good! I agree with your request! After saying this, Queen Mother Catherine's whole body collapsed a little.

The Catholic triumvirate couldn't help but look at each other, and the smiles on their faces were extraordinarily bright.

The next day, the Queen Mother, in the name of the King of France, concluded a Catholic Pact with the Pope, the Duchy of Savoy, and Spain.

But Queen Catherine did not declare the Huguenots a rebel.

Because of this, the Huguenots would be completely forced to the opposite side of the royal family, and for her, both Catholics and Huguenots were subjects belonging to the royal family.

Subsequently, in Tours, Anjou, Sens and other places, the Huguenots were massacred by the Catholics, and the whole of France, the war of hatred between the Catholics and the Huguenots began.

Blood has begun to be squandered, and in this war, the winner must be decided.

At the same time, the Huguenots were on their side.

Antoine, King of Navarre, as well as Admiral Colini, Prince Condé and others, also learned of the unfavorable news.

"The Queen Mother has always had a lenient policy towards us, and this time she suddenly turned to the Catholic League, I am afraid that she was forced!"

Prince Condé looked at the letter he received, shook his head helplessly, and sighed.

"Having said that, for now, we are at a disadvantage, and all over the country, especially in the central region, Catholics are massacring and besieging our Huguenots, and the congregation is very uneasy!"

Colini said unhappily that at this time, the position of the Queen Mother is no longer important, and it is time to talk about our situation.

"First of all, we must call on all the congregants to form a new army to protect their lives!"

"Second, we will send envoys to Germany and England to ask for reinforcements! We also need financial support from the Netherlands! ”

As the king of the Kingdom of Navarre, Antoine was familiar with these and immediately spoke up.

The Kingdom of Navarre was generally held by a French count.

"Your Majesty is right, this is what we should do, and the task of forming a Protestant army is left to you, Your Excellency!"

When Admiral Collini heard this, he couldn't help but nod and said.
