Chapter 51: A Good Way
No matter how far back the nobles were in the line of law, the first heir, Yu Ge, died. Now that Hugg is dead, they naturally have the power to covet the throne - even if all that is left of Hug is the title of heir to Aquitaine.
It's tempting enough.
Although the power of the nobles has been greatly weakened under Henry's iron fist, the hundred-legged insects are dead but not stiff, and the nobles still have great power, which is not only reflected in the surface, but also in the tradition and people's meaning.
What's more, the guy who originally followed the king closely and was called the king's nobleman by outsiders has not been weakened in the slightest...... They may have been close comrades-in-arms and assistants of the king in the past, but now they may be enemies of Sinampe and Theresa.
Sinampe doesn't want to be a king or a prince, but that doesn't mean he can abandon the throne, and even if he can, Theresa can't: "That's what my father cherishes the most, how can I let it fall into someone else's hands? I can't live up to my father's expectations." ”
That's Theresa's opinion—she's a noble lady at heart.
"I see, Your Highness, then, I'll let it go. Sinampei responded to his fiancée like this.
That's right, now Sinampei's identity has changed from Theresa's disgraceful lover to a righteous and bright fiancé, because the Pope has baptized him and confirmed his identity as a Litian, and Henry, after publicly announcing that Trisa is his daughter and the heir to his property, used Sinampe's great contribution to Capet as a reason. He was given a gift to the port of Masaak, and an engagement ceremony was held for him and Theresa - that is, the current Sinampei. In addition to the noble title of the Celestial Empire, he officially became the nobleman of Cape.
However, this does not mean that Theresa has become the accepted heir to the throne - the heir to the property and the heir to the throne are two different concepts.
Women do not have the right to inherit, this is stipulated by law, and it is very difficult to suppress the aristocracy to change this, at least not immediately.
Sinan Pei needs to win over a group of nobles.
But someone came to the door, and it was Count Flesova and Count Trian.
Even though the Count of Trion was originally a vassal of the Duchess of Auvergne, he had no legal basis for inheriting the throne. So it wasn't surprising that he came to Sinampe, but it was a little surprising that Count Flesois also came with Count Trian.
"Yo, congratulations. Count of Masaac. As soon as they met, Flesova, who was more eloquent, laughed out loud. 】
Sinampei was stunned for a moment before he realized that this Count of Masaac was referring to himself.
"I'm so unaccustomed to you calling me that, so it's good that you can continue to call us. Sinampei said with a smile.
"That's good, Division. The two of us came to you today. I want to ask you plainly. Do you have any thoughts on the throne?"
"I said no, can you believe it?" Si Nanpei asked rhetorically.
Naturally, he was responded to by shaking his head.
Si Nanpei sighed, he had long expected it to be like this: "Isn't this over." Are you here to persuade you to advance or to persuade you to quit?"
"Of course it's persuaded. Flesovis looked around and said in a low voice, "According to reliable sources, Edward died while suppressing the rebellion in the country...... We need a person with the most legitimate name to unite our combat power and take the opportunity to move north...... We can't let those evenly matched nobles engage in internal friction. ”
"Love...... Edward is dead?" said Sinampei, who couldn't believe his ears.
Is this the year of bad luck for the crown princes? Why are so many poor people who have died?!
Sinampei recalled Edward's voice and smile in his mind, and he actually felt a trace of regret. Although it is completely different from Huge, but his body. But it is also full of personality charm - it is a strange charm with a little demonic feeling, which is not much better than the tough style of Ge.
"That'...... And what about Christina? It's the witch next to Edward!" Sinampe asked anxiously.
That's his descendant...... Unconsciously. Sinampei has acquiesced to this fact.
"She's fine. According to our intelligence, Edward returned to Caledonia to suppress the rebellion without his sister or the pointy-eared witch. Flesova replied.
"That's good. Sinampei let out a sigh, "If I'm not mistaken...... You just said that you went north?"
"That's right, north. Flesova nodded, "This is a great opportunity." We can't pass up this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity just because of those who are short-sighted. Otherwise, we may not be able to return to our homeland for the rest of our lives. ”
Sinampei was silent, did he refer to the Pali Plain by his hometown?
"But Theresa and I are not justified in any way, Theresa is a woman, she is still an illegitimate daughter, and I have a foreign identity, if you want us to unite the nobles, it will only cause a greater wave of opposition. Sinan Pei was quite helpless. This time, it's not that he doesn't want to do it, it's that he can't.
"Mr. Si, I think you have limited your thinking a little, as long as the duchess gives birth to a boy, then ...... Naturally, we have a new backbone. Earl Trion interjected.
"What if...... Is it a boy?" Sinanpei touched his chin and began to think.
Indeed, if Theresa gives birth to a boy, then it is quite advantageous. He is neither troubled by gender 1 like Theresa, nor embarrassed by Sinampei himself.
However, this is too providential.
"What if it's a girl?" Si Nanpei was a little helpless. As a young man in the 21st century, he has no sexist ideas at all, and he does not hate having a lovely daughter, but the situation in front of him makes him very stressed.
"If it's not a boy, then we can only ask Her Royal Highness the Duchess to have another one, but now we must organize a march as soon as possible, and it is best to suppress these succession contradictions first. Flesova gritted his teeth, "We must take back the north first!"
"......" Sinan Pei took a deep breath.
For Flesova, taking back the north is a necessary priority, and for him, it is also a good way to divert internal contradictions......!
