Such a white rich beauty has to get married. The king of France at that time was Louis VI, and the dukedom of Aquitaine was right within his kingdom. So Louis VI personally stepped forward and married this white Fumei to his son, the then crown prince Louis, who later became Louis VII.

Unfortunately, Louis VII grew up in a convent and was far more interested in the Lord than his new wife, even considering it a sin to live as a couple. In our Chinese parlance, this Louis VII has been a monk since he was a child, and he is determined to serve the Buddha for the rest of his life, and it is a great disservice for both husband and wife to let such a devout monk marry and have children.

In the end, Bai Fumei put a green hat on Louis VII during the Second Crusade, and although the two parties barely maintained their marriage after the Pope personally intervened, they were already strangers. At this time, a young nobleman ten years younger than Queen Eleanor appeared, he was the Duke of Normandy, the Count of Anjou, and the future King Henry II of England. He often went to the palace of the French king to meet the French king, and he met Eleanor, and then he went to the queen specifically.

Louis VII was no matter how pious, and he would not tolerate the cuckolds on his head one after another, so the two finally divorced, and this time even the Pope had no choice but to agree. (The first time I heard that the Pope was still a marriage mediator, it seems that he is not very leisurely, how difficult the mediation work is.) It's easy to be both ends not human. ）

Just six weeks after Queen Eleanor's divorce. She married Henry II Lightning. also took away her dowry, the Duchy of Aquitaine (this is the rule of European aristocracy, a bit similar to the law of the Great Song Dynasty, the dowry must follow the woman), so angry that Louis VII almost vomited blood.

What's even more infuriating is that Eleanor and he only had two daughters, and the reason for the divorce was that the queen could not produce a male heir for the kingdom. But Eleanor and Henry II had only been married for a year, and they had a big fat son. Although the good times did not last long, the baby boy died when he was just one year old, but then he was out of control. Like a hen laying eggs, he gave birth to eight sons and three daughters to Henry II, including the famous Richard the Lionheart.

The former Queen of France and later Queen of England was not born a fuel-efficient lamp, and her heart was broken all her life for the sake of her kingdom and her son's kingdom. In the war between Henry II's sons for the throne, she also personally led the Aquitaine army in her own territory to help her son, but unfortunately her husband attacked her halfway, and put her under house arrest for more than ten years, and finally her most beloved son Richard the Lionheart rescued her.

When the French king took advantage of the infighting in the English royal family, she ran between the kingdoms of Castile, Capetian and the Pope at the age of seventy or eighty, and finally managed to avoid a war that she could probably lose. Louis IX's mother, Blanche, was the one she insisted on marrying Louis VIII at the time. It was also a political marriage.

The legendary old lady died at the age of eighty-three, and after her death was in accordance with her wishes. Buried in the middle of the graves of Henry II and Richard the Lionheart, two men she loved most in her life.

And her granddaughter, Queen Blanche of France, also has her genes in her. Blanche married to France at the age of twelve, gave birth to Louis IX at the age of twenty-six, became queen of France at the age of thirty-five, and was widowed at the age of thirty-eight, when Louis IX was only twelve years old.

Threatened by a group of ambitious and usurpable Frankish nobles, the queen not only kept her son's throne, but also personally led her troops to fight everywhere, defeating King Henry many times and, like her maternal grandmother, saving the fate of a nation. The difference was that she saved Frank, while her grandmother saved her enemy England.

It can also be seen from this that the three countries of Britain, France and Germany, including Italy and Spain, no matter who fights whom, are all internal conflicts within the family. Outsiders don't interfere, if you intervene, they will not only not thank you for your persuasion, but also have to turn around and bite you, because these countries are upside down from the roots, and Du Nyima is a relative or a close relative.

In medieval Europe, there have always been rumors about the Queen Blanche, that she was not clear about the Pope, and even that the death of Louis VIII was related to her, that she was a she-wolf in a fairy tale.

In any case, the queen was not an ordinary wisdom, and even after Louis IX became an adult and ruled in person, the mother and son often discussed many national matters, and Louis IX was willing to listen to his mother's advice on how to govern the country. This was no secret in European aristocratic circles, so Louis IX's enemies often used it to mock him. Friedrich II was an enemy of the pope, and Louis IX was a fervent Christian, and both of them were born unable to pee in a pot.

"Ladies and gentlemen...... Can you listen to me say a few words...... "After listening to Jiang Zhuyi's summary of European royal families, Hong Tao felt that they were almost arguing, this loan worth 100,000 gold coins was always to be lent out of Jiang Zhuyi's hands, whether it was lent to Friedrich II or Louis IX, she would offend the other party, which was not in her own interests in Europe.

If no one borrowed it for fear of offending people, Louis IX would have been very happy, and this would have thwarted an attack against the Pope planned by Friedrich II, which would have been strongly supported by the Pope, and would have done him no good. After carefully weighing the pros and cons, Hong Tao decided to put aside his personal feud with Louis IX first, or to dig a bigger hole for Louis IX and even the whole of Europe.

"Baron Jiang only has one loan, and she can't take out more for the time being, so whether it is His Majesty the Emperor or His Majesty the King, she can only lend to one of them. But I have another idea, I also have a sum of gold in my hand, about 150,000 gold coins. Everyone sees that this can't be done, Baron Jiang's money is still lent to His Majesty the Emperor according to the original agreement, and my money can be lent to His Majesty the King. It was used to launch the crusade to the south. "Wait until everyone in the room has stopped attacking each other. They turned their heads to look at themselves. Hong Tao said his idea slowly.

"Why, Hong?" The first to react was Friedrich II, who seemed angry because he regarded Hong Tao as a friend, and his friend did not stand firmly on his side at the most critical time, which made him feel insulted.

"Your Majesty, don't be impatient, I'll explain this matter to you later." Hong Tao really wondered how Carl's cousin became emperor. There is no city government at all, and if you say that you are in a hurry, you are in a hurry. In order to prevent him from turning his face in public, Hong Tao had to appease Friedrich II in Chinese.

"Why did Your Majesty finance the Crusaders? This is a Christian thing......" Louis confused Hong Tao, he didn't want to launch any crusade to the south this time, but just used this excuse to stir up the situation, but Hong Tao really wanted to come up with money, which made him a little difficult to ride a tiger. Really launched the crusade south? I'm not prepared! If you don't start it, then what you just said is not a lie.

"I'm not a Christian, that's true, but I have quite a few Christian friends. For example, His Majesty the Emperor, such as Sir Karl. I paid for Sir Carr. His castle was surrounded by the Saracens. If the Christians could sweep away the Saracens in the Iberian Peninsula, then Sir Karl himself would be much safer. I've always been a very generous person, especially with my friends, and if the money benefits my friends, I'll be happy to give it out. ”

In terms of the ability to make up nonsense, Hong Tao and Louis, Friedrich II, Henry, and Bishop are actually at the same level, but when it comes to friendship and knowledge, Hong Tao is the first. Making up nonsense is also a technical job, you need to have goods in your stomach, not just make up a coherent story, but also have to connect the cause and effect, and be logically reasonable. The main point is that people have no evidence, and they have to believe if they don't believe it.

"In this case, it is better for Sir Karl to be in charge of this southern expedition......" Henry III, who had not spoken much, suddenly interjected, there is a saying in China called wilting people out of leopards, Henry III's words, like a thunder, immediately made Louis IX and the cardinal, who were in a dilemma, seem to see the light and agreed.

"Carl doesn't work! First of all, he did not have the ability to be the leader of Christendom, and unless the bishop could persuade the kings of the Iberian Peninsula to agree to give the Saracen territory to Karl, and to give him the title of king first, in what name would he call the crusades to the south? ”

"Secondly, he did not have this condition, and his realm had been taken back from the Saracens, as His Majesty the Pope may testify. He has been here alone for the past few years, so that you can set foot here from the sea. If Christians had fought valiantly against the infidels at the risk of life and death as Sir Karl did, the light of Christ would have shone long ago in North Africa. Ask him to do more than he can, and I'll have to wonder what this advice is all about, you say, honorable King Henry? Before Friedrich II could stand up for his dear cousin, Hong Tao quickly picked up the conversation. The emperor was very gossipy, and let him come forward, so as to ensure that he would shake out some secrets of the Henry family, and then there would be a flurry of mutual scolding.

"Your Majesty is very reasonable, Sir Karl's territory is too weak, and there will be no more help from the Knights of Christ to attack from here, and it is more realistic to go from north to south. Borrowing is also a business, if the risk is too great, how can you guarantee that the money lent out will be recovered? The reason Hong Tao said, whether it is reasonable or not, Jiang Zhuyi must stand up and support it. She did not speak from the level of war, but made her judgment from the position of a creditor.

"Franks were willing to bear the financial burden for Christendom...... "Louis IX was a fanatical religious man, and his blood boiled at the mention of religious wars. After weighing the pros and cons, he took the lead in answering Hong Tao's suggestion head-on, and then looked at Henry III.

"Henry, do you have to go back and ask the nobles of England if they agree before you can reply?" Friedrich II didn't know what Hong Tao was going to do, but he could only stand with Hong Tao now, and he began to sarcastically respond to Henry's hesitation. No wonder he was not liked by the German princes, this mouth was too nasty.

"The kingdom of England is willing to bear part of the loss...... Henry III's face turned green, and it was the greatest humiliation for a king to be pointed out in public by another kingdom that his royal power was weak. If even the family doesn't listen to him, what kind of face does this king have to come out and mess around.

"I will return to Rome at once and suggest to the bishop that the Holy See send the Knights to participate in this southern expedition and bear part of the losses!" The cardinal was not a straw bag, and he was keen to seize the fleeting opportunity and bring the Holy See in.

On the surface, this is the Holy See's support for Louis and Henry, but in fact it is a great opportunity for the Holy See to protect itself. Because once the Holy See participated in the crusade, Friedrich II could not wage war against the Papal States during the crusade. Whatever the contradiction or reason, it is impossible to stab the papacy in the back when dealing with the infidels, in which case Friedrich II's reputation in the whole Christian world will be stinking, and even the kingdoms of the Two Sicilies, the kingdoms of Naples, and the city-states of Rena, which he controls, will be opposed to him.
