Chapter 315: The Fourth Aunt Teaches Her Nephew a Lesson
After Guo Kang finished speaking, everyone was silent for a while, obviously thinking about it.
The first to speak was still Zhu Wenkui, who had the least calculations. He asked directly: "Brother Kang, do you think the locals will approve it if you go directly?" This is not on the Roman side, everyone knows that you are a good person and the other nobles are bad people. They are likely to boycott outright, as is customary, and will not give us a chance to publicize it. β
"No problem, we just use the existing inheritance system. It's up to the English to do it for us. Guo Kang said.
"What does that mean?" Zhu Wenkui asked curiously.
"Doesn't the propaganda of the English say that they have inheritance from the maternal line?" Guo Kang replied: "Of course everyone knows that their relationship is too far apart. But there is no way, who can let the family fight? β
"So, what they're doing now is actually helping you prove that the issue of inheritance is not strict, as long as it has a relationship. In this way, you have an advantage. Because no matter what, it's closer than them. β
"They still have a chance to get in a relationship, and that is through marriage." Guo Kang continued: "I heard that the King of England has been asking to marry the unmarried little daughter of the King of France, right? β
"It's my aunt Catherine." Jeanne Jr. said.
"That's probably her." Guo Kang couldn't remember the genealogy and names of the Europeans, so he nodded directly: "Asking for a marriage, and then letting the heirs of both parties inherit the kingdom is also a common way of annexation." Of course, don't worry. β
"If they really succeed, it will be exactly the same as the situation on King Wu's side. In this case, their inheritance is legitimate, and you are legitimate. Therefore, their efforts to persuade other vassals to obtain inheritance qualifications are equivalent to working for us. β
"It's all ......" Zhu Wenkui was speechless for a while, but this time, even he immediately reacted: "No, there is a premise for this, you have to have a male heir, right?" β
He looked at his sister, then at Princess Jeanne, and for a moment did not know what to say. He can't figure out how to calculate the relationship between his family now, and he can't urge the princess to have another brother as soon as possible......
Guo Kang doesn't care about this. He looked at Monk Daoyan and saw that the other party had no objection, so he relieved himself.
The logic in this is not complicated, and the great monk will definitely understand it. For King Wu's side, it will also help to solve the current chaotic and awkward family relationship problems.
When the throne of a great country is involved, the major interests of this level cannot be discussed.
Even if it was not formal at the beginning, it must be said to be a formal and complete ceremonyβthe big deal is to ask the Church of Rome to make up for them; Even if there are some problems with the titles of Princess Wu's concubines, now she has to recognize them first, compared to the trivial court ordering issues, the prestige and assistance of the Ming Dynasty are too important.
Therefore, Guo Kang felt that even if this idea could not be realized, he could help their family solve internal problems.
In the eyes of most Europeans in these years, Seris was almost a mythical country, and its prestige was not comparable to that of ordinary nobles. Even if Zhu Yunwen suffered a big loss before, in fact, only the big nobles understood the situation. For others, just do some publicity, after all, as long as the silk, porcelain, and iron pots of the East continue to come, everyone's admiration for the East will always be restored.
Seeing that Guo Kang didn't say anything, Zhu Wenkui didn't know what to say for a while. He looked at Princess Ma again, but his mother still didn't speak.
Guo Kang estimated that she was also waiting, so he simply said directly to Xiao Jeanna: "I can only throw bricks and lead the jade with this strategy, after all, I am really not familiar with these." I think we should let everyone help think about it. What does Master Dao Yan think? β
"The poor monk is not familiar with it." Monk Daoyan smiled and shook his head: "If it's just King Wu's side, the poor monk can talk about some Buddhism, and persuade everyone to relax and value harmony." But the nations further west have different customs and customs, and although they have tried their best to understand them, they are still very limited. I can't tell where to start to help everyone. β
"It's actually not that hard." Guo Kang was already prepared: "Master, just look at it like this." Now there are only two options for the warring parties. The faction that supports the French royal family can now only support the king's youngest son, and Her Royal Highness the princess is his fourth sister. He looked at Princess Jeanne.
"As for the British side, it's too far away. Of course, if their joint plan is successful, then Her Royal Highness will be the fourth aunt of the new King of England and France. Guo Kang continued: "The fourth aunt teaches her nephew a lesson, and there is no problem. β
Monk Dao Yan didn't answer immediately, but he could clearly feel that his eyes were sharp, and it seemed that he had really accepted the proposal and began to think about it seriously.
After waiting for a moment, he said, "Since the Taixi kingdoms accept the female lineage to inherit the throne, then this is indeed possible. However, it is necessary to plan the departure base and travel route well, and find out the local situation in advance. β
"In those countries, the etiquette and law are far less sound than those of the Central Plains. Many so-called rules, which the monarch and the nobles themselves do not follow, can be accommodating and adjusted. Guo Kang said.
"Moreover, in the past few hundred years, Europe has also become more and more 'deceitful'. Back then, people still had to believe in some doctrinal constraints, but now everyone simply doesn't bother to pretend. I think that although I want to change the inheritance rules, in fact, the difficulty is much lower than that of Quwo Daiyi. β
"The aristocracy of England is more grouped, and the order is relatively tight. The French aristocracy simply impersonated a lot, from the founding of the Capetian dynasty to the present, many local lords have changed. There was no Son of Heaven above the king, and the church once wanted to be a Son of Heaven, but was casually arrested by the king. The aristocrats are very realistic, so don't think too much about it. β
"Then let's use this strategy together." Monk Daoyan nodded and said bluntly.
"How should this be used?" Princess Jeanne asked curiously.
"Before Quwo Daiyi, there must be a Quwo, right?" After he finished speaking, he remembered that Princess Jeanne did not necessarily understand these allusions, and added: "If you want to achieve the best policy, you first need a stable territory. Only with a stable foundation can the subsequent goals be achieved. β
"There is land, there are soldiers, and then there are bargaining chips, you can use Guo Gongzi's strategy to stabilize some nobles and win over the other part. In the same way, having a starting point is also conducive to conducting a surprise attack and executing the 'best policy', so we can't start from here, right? He laughs.
