Chapter 146: The Bishop's Throne
In April, France was in a state of sting and chaos, and as the news of King Philip II's assassination in the streets spread throughout the country, the whole country fell into a certain amount of chaos, and there did not seem to be a big force in France at this time that could decide who the next king would be.

And the throne of France itself is not hereditary, and King Philip II himself does not have an adult son, let alone crowning his son in his lifetime.
The chaotic situation in France lasted for half a month, until a delegation from His Majesty the King of England arrived outside Paris, and the three forces that had been in trouble for half a month appeared to be united in their efforts to the outside world, but in fact, when the envoy group was still on the road, these people had already contacted the envoy group in groups in the hope of receiving support.
Standing outside the city gates at this time was greeted by the Champagne Consul that had been suppressed by Philip II, and these guys, who represented the real power of the French king's inner island, were the weakest of the three forces vying for the throne.
"Welcome to Paris with the Cardinal!" Henry I, Count of Champagne, was the uncle of Philip II, the greatest king of France, and the regent who had been suppressed was now Philip II's premature death.
"Please don't let me be ashamed to call this servant of God and King a bishop! Since I have come here on behalf of His Majesty Charles I, Duke of Normandy, King Charles I the Lionheart, to discuss the question of the French succession, I will be addressed as an envoy. ”
The man in the gray cape lifted the hood of his cloak to reveal the face of Jean Renault, a French male star on the earth wearing a red hat, which had an indescribable confidence and pride.
That's right, this man known as the cardinal archbishop is our protagonist Wang Jianjian, who temporarily returned to England half a month ago and became a cardinal archbishop who rules all of England with the help of Richard I.
This time, on behalf of Richard I, he came to compete for the throne of the king of France, and before Philip II, there was no real hereditary king system in England, and it was only with the efforts of Philip II that the royal power was strengthened to have him.
However, Philip II, who exerted his power in the later years after King Richard's death, never had the opportunity to embody his greatness as he did in history. The king, who quadrupled the size of France, built the capital of Paris, liberated the crown, and truly made France great, died young.
This is also the reason why Wang Jian was able to stand here on behalf of King Richard and fight for the throne of the King of France, because before Philip II, the King of England had always enjoyed territory in France, and it was a territory larger than the inner islands actually controlled by the King of France.
The French royal family before Philip II seems to be the son of Zhou Tianzi, although it is noble, it is impossible to go out of Xianyang, and the French power in the real sense occupies fourteen fifteen of the territory of France, and the French royal family is an empty shelf.
Thanks to the efforts of Philip II of France, the French royal family had power and rule, but unfortunately all this was ended by the king, and it was because of this that she gained great benefits in this matter, and the reward of the gods was put aside, and she was given another title, the terminator of royal power.
The purpose of Wang Jian's visit this time is very clear, that is, to end this mission with his own hands, and to try to let Richard Charles I the Lionheart inherit the French throne as the Duke of Normandy, so that this mission can be completely over.
Just as he didn't care about Robin Hood, the original protagonist of this movie, he didn't care where the little beauty was now, because this mission must have ended with his victory, and the little beauty must have lost the bottom and returned to the novice space of the top of the gods.
The king's simple attitude is strong, but it is a matter of course for the Count of Champagne, because he has this strength, he has this kind of power, so that people are pressed and have to bow their heads, even if anyone knows that King Philip II of France was killed by him, but no one dares to come out and accuse him.
They will only enjoy the benefits of the redistribution of power brought about by the death of Philip II as vested interests, and combined with the chemistry of power and profit, Wang Jian has become the opponent of these contenders for the throne in France.
Obviously, they did not understand what the purpose of Wang Jian's coming here on behalf of the King of England was, Wang Jian spoke lukewarmly to the Count of Champagne, and quietly withdrew the other party's possible verbal attacks.
"Paris is really a beautiful place, I heard that my cousin was preparing to build a very grand castle to make Paris the capital? It's a pity for this whimsical genius. With what seemed to be a pitiful compliment but was in fact a mocking derogation, the king simply ignored the outstretched hand of the Count of Champagne, jumped off his horse and strode towards the city.
Walking into the city gate, the strong wind of the tuyere unbridled lifted the king's simple cloak, revealing the red bishop's robe wrapped in armor.
In fact, what is really competitive is only a big power duke like the Duke of Badiliangen, and people like the Count of Champagne have no fun at all, and the so-called big forces elect the king only after the game, and the big forces get what they need and no longer want the throne.
Perhaps in the eyes of the big powers, it is far better to be a French nobleman who scolds Fang Xuan than to be a puppet royal family with no real power, although it is not the person who asks him to give orders, but he can give orders left and right.
Wang Jian walked all the way into the palace, into the palace that he did not actually enter even after killing King Philip II of France, and entered it with the condescending attitude of a victor, who represented Charles I, who was beyond the reach of everyone present.
This was his voluntary renunciation of his cardinal status and his presence here as a messenger, and even then the crowd had to give up the throne to him. The king did not look at the crowd and took off his cloak, revealing a red garment wrapped in armor inside.
Sitting on the throne, he did not look at others, but only said what he wanted to say, that is, the words that King Charles I asked him to lead the people: "I have to tell all of you who are here, on behalf of my king, I would like to tell you a decision, in view of the identity and lineage of my king Charles I, and the current situation of the British royal family, my king, as the Duke of Normandy, is the most powerful royal heir to this England."
