Chapter 214: Philip VI's Conspiracy

That's right.

The uphill road is difficult, but the hard way is coming.

It is difficult to drive a boat against the wind, but it must be reached.

Xu Siling knew very well that the establishment and development of the executioner family's troops could never be achieved in peace.

Instead, with the courage to move forward in the face of hardships and dangers, and relying on the motivation to open roads in the mountains and build bridges in the water, it was achieved in overcoming difficulties and stepping on the ups and downs.

Xu Siling believes in himself, he just needs a little time.

And his executioners and soldiers also need some time.

Fei'er and Xu Siling looked at the campfire in the dark.

The blazing flame outlines their bright future in the future.

He and Fei'er currently have enough power to make the people around them afraid.

The only thing that is lacking now is sufficient troop strength.

Fei'er has been working hard for this, and all of her people are veterans on the battlefield, not to mention a large number of soldiers who believe in her faith.

As long as Fei'er wants, her soldiers are willing to die for her.

This is the most intuitive embodiment of her strength after she has the identity of a saint.

And Xu Siling, needless to say.

It's just that now he and Fei'er also need time.

Time pushes everything, digesting the power that has just been gained.

It's a pity that time is never abundant for everyone, and opportunities and crises will always collide with you at the next corner and catch you off guard.

The servants of the inner fort in the town of Raya hurried to find the tent.

When she saw Fei'er, she hurriedly handed over a letter.

"Miss Raya, urgent letter from Avignon in the South!"

Fei'er felt a little strange and took it apart.

Seeing the content clearly, she was stunned.

Southern part of the Kingdom of France.

Avignon.

Night.

Pierre Roger, who was drunk, shook off the kind hands of others, lay alone on the bed, and waved his big hand.

"My good servant, call Nellie and say I miss her."

"Yes."

If Xu Siling is here, someone points to this drunken old man and says that he is Clement VI, I am afraid it will be difficult to make Xu Siling believe it.

In fact, Clement VI was a spiritual opponent of Franciscan asceticism.

He overhauled the Papal Palace and rewarded scholarship and the arts.

He rewarded and encouraged the academic and artistic developments under the control of the Holy Religion as long as there was some good development.

Indirectly, many academics remain in discussion rather than reality.

But this also reflects that Clement VI is a romantic scumbag.

Clement VI lived a dissolute and greedy life, and after buying Avignon, this land was his land.

He can do whatever he wants.

Clement VI alone publicly recognized seven illegitimate children, all of whom held important positions in the Holy Church.

There are even more illegitimate children who have not publicly acknowledged it.

Walking through the streets of Avignon, you bump into a random person, and you don't know if he is the son of a good family or the illegitimate son of Clement VI.

Therefore, as a nobleman and a saint, Fei'er doesn't care how many lovers Xu Siling has.

It's like the illegitimate children of Clement VI, who have more lovers than Xu Siling, what can you compare it to.

Compared to most of the kingdom, Xu Siling is kind and conservative.

Some aristocrats pass by rural towns, and they have to walk around the flowers, and if it is suitable, they will leave a seed.

There is nothing more sacred and absurd than a medieval wedding.

The Black Death was prevalent.

From south to north.

The first to spread was Avignon in the south of France.

A quarter of Clement VI's men were killed, and many cardinals and faithful in Avignon, initially believing that the plague was caused by the Jews, brewed strong anti-Semitic sentiment.

But Clement VI did not think so, and still welcomed the Jews to Avignon.

Philip VI's expulsion of the Jews from the kingdom led directly to the dispopularity of the Jews in northern France.

The Jews in France had no choice but to flee south, to the middle or south of the kingdom.

For example, Khamis of Tamuburg had a good impression of the Jews, at least the Jews knew how to help him better squeeze every son of the people.

So in the north of France, it was very difficult to find Jews.

In the central part of France, there are scattered Jewish communities.

The Jews of France, most of whom survived in the south of France.

And Nelly, in the mouth of Clement VI, was also a Jewish woman.

Most Jews are dark-haired and have slightly higher noses, and so does Nelly.

When she entered the room, she stripped naked of her clothes, fiddled with her body, and headed for Clement VI on the bed.

Clement VI was drunk, squinting at Nelly, and his body couldn't help but feel, but the alcohol made him feel powerless as he got older.

is already old, and his physical functions are getting weaker and weaker, so Uncle Chen doesn't come to say hello in the morning.

After drinking, even if you want to come again, you have to see if you can do it.

"Oh, my beautiful Nelly, come to me."

Nelly twisted and gradually moved into the arms of Clement VI.

"Lord Roger, you're finally willing to think of me."

"You have to know that I have too many things to do, and if I have time, I really want to torture you."

"So," Nelly chuckled, "is it time to continue what we didn't finish last time?" ”

"Of course, but you'll have to wait for me to slow down."

Clement VI liked Nelly's tactfulness.

The Jewish family and the executioner family have two characteristics in common.

That is, when they are all rich and have a good family, the children are very educated.

Clement VI's papal status made it difficult for him to have deep relationships with aristocratic women, so he liked to play with these women who had no status.

And among his many women, only Nelly is Jewish, she speaks tactfully, is highly educated, and can talk about many topics in one place, and thinks about him everywhere, which wins his heart.

Nelly intimately massaged Clement VI and asked with a smile.

"I heard that you have finally decided to open another Holy Year amnesty?"

"That's right, I've signed it and asked people to send out the notice, and I believe that in a few days, the whole world will receive this news."

Nelly's eyes lit up: "That means that my brothers can also get out of prison?" ”

"Of course, but it's all temporary, and they'll have to pay some action and money, but it's all for you, my Nelly."

Nelly was moved, and the massage became more and more intense, so that Clement VI couldn't help but look up and sigh in comfort.

Clement VI certainly wasn't for Nelly, but that didn't stop him from saying these romantic love words.

The Holy Year Amnesty was originally stipulated to be once every 100 years.

But in 1300, the papal papal amnesty of Boniface VIII resulted in unexpected money.

Historically, Clement VI held it once in 1350, which was later shortened to once every 33 years, and once every 25 years in 1475 under Sixtus IV.

The Holy Year Liberation became a new trick for the Holy See to collect money.

Xu Siling knew about this and would definitely be curious.

Now that the year 1347 is not over, how can Clement VI still start the Holy New Year's amnesty in advance, and play his cards out of common sense.

But Xu Siling wouldn't know that the reason why the Holy Year's amnesty was advanced was because of the appearance of him and Fei'er.

In the name of the Lord, Fei Er and Xu Si Ling supported the French royal family to regain the lost territory, which indirectly led to the Holy See recognizing Fei Er's identity, so they had to choose to support France in the Anglo-French War.

Because of the prisoner of Avignon, the Holy See is equivalent to a puppet of the French royal family.

But France still saved some face for the Holy See, and did not completely treat the Pope as a dog.

In the Anglo-French War, Philip VI only asked the Holy See to pay for it, and did not let the Pope write a letter to condemn Britain, so that the Holy See was neutral in the Anglo-French War.

The appearance of Ke Feier made the Holy See no longer neutral.

If you still have to go to war, the most important thing to consider is money.

No one is disgusted with money, let alone the spiritual Clement VI, who was greedy and 'romantic', who loved art and academics, who liked to spend lots and lots of money, and who liked the luxuries of Brynbring.

The Holy New Year's amnesty can give him a short period of money to collect money, and the money he gets can also be used to support the French royal family in the war, why not?

Clement VI had long wanted to do this, and he originally wanted to wait until 1350 to do it, changing the hundred years to fifty years.

But the appearance of Fei'er changed his plan, and he had to be amnesty in advance of the Holy Year.

Nelly's eyes were misty, and she said softly: "Lord Roger, I want children too." ”

"Ouou. Tap, Nelly, you'll have to wait for me to slow down. ”

"Lord Roger, I have a bit of a gadget, do you want to try it?"

Clement VI's eyes narrowed: "What good thing?" ”

"Help us finish what we didn't finish last time, this thing is amazing." Nelly laughed, "Do you want to try it?" I heard you call me over, so I brought it with me. ”

Clement VI came up, nodded after thought, and asked Nelly to bring it.

Nelly happily searched her clothes for the medicine before handing it to Clement VI.

After hesitating for a while, in order to revive the majesty of tonight, Clement VI swallowed directly.

I thought that I would feel the firmness of my lower body, but Clement VI realized that something was wrong.

His eyes gradually blurred, and he looked at the fruit in front of him, and there seemed to be a strange smile on his face.

"What's wrong with me? Nelly, bring me water. ”

"No, Lord Roger, it's normal, take a deep breath. Come, let's take a deep breath and soon be fine. ”

"No, no! Bring me water! ”

The old face of Clement VI suddenly became hideous, he couldn't feel his breath, and he gasped hard!

He struggled to grab around, trying to get the golden cup on the table.

Kornelli stopped him with one hand and pushed him down on the bed.

"Hmm! You! ”

"Mistress Roger, I said, we have to finish what we didn't finish last time."

Clement VI finally saw the smile on Nelly's lips.

She wanted to kill herself!

His expression became more and more hideous, and the saliva at the corner of his mouth couldn't help but flow.

Nelly lowered her head slowly, smiling and sticking to Clement VI's ear.

"Lord Roger, Philip VI, the supreme king of France, ask me to greet you."

The death of Clement VI and the release of the Holy Year caught Phil by surprise.

Including Xu Siling, who knew these things and had already sensed the strangeness.

Of course Clement VI would have died, but not so soon, and the cause of his death was the Black Death.

Xu Siling has to admit that during the Black Death, the Black Death was a perfect excuse for anyone to die.

For example, King Jeanne of France, and John's wife Bonnet both died of the Black Death.

Jeanne's death in history is indeed related to the Black Death.

But not necessarily with Bonet.

Xu Siling, who already knew everything, knew that Bonet's death was the hand of Philip VI.

Then the question arises, does the death of Clement VI have anything to do with Philip VI?

It's hard to tell.

Even if Philip VI waited for death, he would give the last bit of strength to the royal family, and he would not wait.

Even if he sat on the throne and suffered from the cold eyes of his son John, Philip VI would not blame his son.

No one knows their children better than parents.

Philip VI didn't believe anyone, but he believed in John.

Not only because John was his son, but also because John was a good man who believed in chivalry.

As a king, as a royal leader, he thinks he has done nothing wrong.

But as a father, as a husband, he owes it to John.

John had love for him.

Otherwise, when he learned of Philip VI's plan to let Bonnet die, John would have completely turned against Philip VI.

In fact, John did turn against Philip VI, but not completely.

John was a man who loved his family, and naturally he loved his father and his mother even more.

His mother, Jeanne, contracted the Black Death, and was cured because of Phil'er's relationship, and John had an innate affection for Phil.

Not to mention that he likes Xu Siling, even when something goes wrong, he thinks of letting Xu Siling protect Jeanne.

But that still doesn't stop things from happening.

After Philip VI killed his wife Jeanne, John fell into autism and was completely exonerated by Xu Siling and his wife Jeanne.

John knew very well that his good father would not live long.

Inside a tent in a soldier's tent in the town of Raya.

Fei'er took the letter to Xu Siling, and Xu Siling burned it directly after reading it.

"The Holy Year's release has nothing to do with me, my territory is up to me. But the sudden death of the Pope is very strange. ”

Xu Siling quickly got the answer.

He looked at Fei'er seriously, and suddenly felt that there was not enough time.

Both he and Phil are short of time, but the problem is that the world won't give them time.

The appearance of Xu Siling and Fei'er has promoted everything and accelerated the development of many things, and indirectly, the world will not leave more time for them.

"The Holy Year release does not affect us, but only suffers the people of the kingdom."

In the Middle Ages, this type of forgiveness of temporary punishment has evolved into the sale of indulgences.

But the main target audience is the aristocracy and the rich.

But the Holy Year is released, and it is for all people, including those who are guilty.

This situation indirectly affects the reduction of the quality of people's life safety.

"Then Xu, will the Pope's death affect us?"

Xu Siling just shook his head: "It's not clear yet, but it may affect." ”

"What will affect me? Could it be that the new pope will target me? Fei'er looked incredulous, "I can't just assume the identity of a saint and be questioned not long ago." ”

Xu Siling was silent: "It depends on the death of Clement VI, whether it is an accident or not, if it is an accident, then everything is easy to say." ”

Fei'er's azure eyes looked Xu Siling's expression up and down.

"Xu, I look at the way you look, it seems that you are not inclined to this answer."

"That's right, I don't think the death of Clement VI was an accident, don't look at what is written in the letter, saying that he died of a sudden illness and was certified by a doctor, but I don't believe it at all."

"Then if someone else designed him to die, would the goal of the person who designed it be us?"

Xu Siling looked at the gap in the tent, and he narrowed his eyes slightly.

"It depends on Phil your understanding and what you think. Will Philip VI be tied up and die? ”

Fei'er was suddenly stunned, and then her face was suddenly revealed.

She was not stupid, but she was so little surprised by Xu Siling.

A Philip VI, who exterminated all aftermath in order to marry Blanche, would he leave Clement VI behind?

Especially after the appearance of Phil, Philip VI had more reasons to kill Clement VI.

Clement VI has helped Phil too much, even though the two have never met until now.

However, there are many private correspondence exchanges, and they are not aggravating the relationship between them.

The identity of the Holy Maiden of Phil was recognized, and at least half of the credit of Clement VI was due, although he did not have a choice, but he made the decision so easily, which can be regarded as a help to Phil.

There's no way Phil could be at odds with a pope who helped him like this.

Philip VI also had to worry about whether Clement VI and Phil would secretly have any bad ideas and plans.

Clement VI was personally promoted by Philip VI, and Philip VI knew very well what the pope was and how bad his personality was.

Whether a greedy man, after his death, will covet others, Philip VI did not dare to guarantee.

The best way to deal with Clement VI is to drag him to hell with him.

In fact, Philip VI did the same.

"Phil, get ready. I feel like something is going to happen. ”

Phil pondered: "What am I thinking about to prepare?" ”

"Of course, it was the preparation of Philip VI's death."

Fei'er was helpless, and looked at Xu Siling seriously: "Xu, why are you so sure that the king is going to die." ”

"You don't know how angry he was with me in the wedding hall of the palace, coupled with John's hostility towards him and Blanche's rebellion, his heart is dead."

Xu Siling explained one by one: "Mourning is greater than heart death, I believe that his mind will become stubborn, insensitive, and gradually indifferent to the things around him." ”

Fei'er couldn't help but smile: "You know the king very well, if I didn't know that you and he have only met once." ”

"One side is enough, and I'm not going to see him a second time." Xu Siling rubbed his chin, "Since he is in such a hurry to let Clement VI die, it indirectly shows that he Philip VI has few days to live." ”

"It's just your speculation, I know the king won't live long, that's our consensus. But, you told me that we had just been out of Paris for more than a month, and the king was going to be unable to hold on, and he was going to die, and I had a hard time accepting it. Now the king is really going to die, then. We're in a lot of trouble. ”

"No, John will definitely take care of us, but when Philip VI dies, the first thing he will deal with is the question of inheriting the throne and securing his position. Before he had time to take care of us, Philip VI's death was enough to make our heads bigger. ”

"That's why it's hard for me to accept that you say that Philip VI is going to die."

Xu Siling smiled: "You said that it was difficult to accept, doesn't it mean that you have accepted it." ”

Fei'er sighed helplessly and rolled her eyes: "Pick my words at this time, if he really dies at this juncture, Xu, you have to know how many nobles' remarks we have to accept?" ”

"Believe me, there will be many crusades against our nobles, but not too many." Xu Siling spread his hands, "This is a bit ugly, Fei'er, thanks to the defeat of the Battle of Cressy, many nobles have been estranged from the royal family, otherwise he died at this time, we really can't stand the crusade of the nobles of the entire kingdom, even if John helps us, it will be difficult to hold on." ”

It's a really ugly sound.

After all, Fei'er's family elders and fathers have all died in the Battle of Cressie.

But she couldn't take it all.

"If Philip VI hadn't prepared anything else to deal with us after his death, I'd be able to say that at most the county would be more difficult to manage and not be treated well by the nobles, which I can accept. I'm afraid. Philip VI hid some secret tricks after his death. ”

Xu Siling nodded in affirmation: "That's right, Fei'er, the death of Philip VI, the nobles will naturally blame me on my head." ”

"Wrong, it's our head, not yours alone."

Xu Siling said that it didn't matter, Fei'er also said that he buttoned the words, and Fei'er herself buttoned it.

"Good, good, on our heads. Fei'er, you also know that these nobles can't turn the sky, most of the nobles, they are in a hurry to lick John's shoes, now that the royal family has our help, coupled with the support of the Holy See, John's momentum on the throne is very sufficient, and some nobles will cause us a little trouble at most, but this is nothing. ”

"I'm afraid." Fei'er's eyes narrowed slightly, "The trick that the king hid after his death." You and I both know very well that the king, even if his heart is dead, he is not a man who waits for death, and he is afraid of Blanche, so he wants to marry her; Afraid of the Pope, so the Pope died; If we are afraid of us, we will not be too happy. ”

"Hey, my darling, don't worry so much, okay?"

Xu Siling rarely called Fei'er like this, which made Fei'er suddenly a little unaccustomed.

"No matter what Philip VI says, he is also a person, since he is a human being, everything he does will be within the scope of our cognition, even if it is a troublesome problem, it should be within the scope of our treatment, don't be afraid, I am here."

Fei'er looked at Xu Siling's confident expression, and suddenly the pressure was reduced by half, and she smiled mildly and nodded.

"Indeed, with you, I shouldn't be in such a hurry."

Fei'er got up, came to Xu Siling's side, kissed him on the cheek, and then prepared to leave.

"By the way, the Tom you introduced is very useful, I arranged for him to go to Tamubao to deal with things, but I will stay in Raya Town for his family to put him at ease."

Xu Siling smiled: "I understand. ”

"I need to go back and get some rest, I'm tired today, but I hope your executioner soldiers can surprise me."

After Phil finished speaking, she left the tent.

Xu Siling, who was left alone, suddenly disappeared with a confident smile on his face, and was replaced by helplessness.

He didn't care about the death of Philip VI.

Or rather, Philip VI deserved to die.

Not only did he think so, but so did John.

Now John and Fei Er, Xu Siling, has formed a very close relationship, as long as John is on the throne, he and John will help each other, not worried that France will not be able to recover the lost territory, and complete the dream of the French kings.

It's okay for Philip VI to die, but if he wants to die at this time, it will be too troublesome for Xu Si.

Of course, he couldn't show a bitter face in front of Fei'er.

He was a source of courage and confidence for Phil.

If he is timid, Fei'er still has to be afraid?

Of course, Philip VI deserves to die, but he died half a year later, a year later, and two years later, all of which are very different from dying now.

Now that Philip VI is dead, the nobles of the entire kingdom will point the finger at Xu Siling, and they will blame Fei'er, thinking that Xu Siling forced the king to death.

Even if John wanted to protect Xu Siling, it was difficult to do it, at least on the surface, he was not allowed to do so.

If Philip VI died half a year later, blaming Xu Siling's voice would be much weaker.

The longer the time drags on, the better, the longer it is, the less people will blame Xu Siling.

indirectly, it will reduce public opinion on Fei'er.

Xu Siling couldn't believe that if Philip VI really died during this time, how would the nobles of the county treat Fei'er and him.

The matter of tax collection is bound to reach an impasse.

To be honest, Xu Siling did not want to believe that Philip VI would die during this time.

Because Philip VI in history still has a few years to live, even if he is angry and loses most of his life, he can still live for a long time.

Why died so early.

Isn't that the case with heart death?

Xu Siling suddenly had a terrible thought in his head.

Perhaps Philip VI didn't have any tricks in the first place.

His death is his biggest move.

Thus, Clement VI was able to be forced to die of illness.

Will Philip VI, who is already dead and has all the plans for extinction, take the initiative to choose to die of illness?

Conspiracy is always better than conspiracy.

Because the conspiracy can be predicted and evaded, but the conspiracy is different.

Yang Mou can be predicted, but it is really impossible to hide.

His own death was the conspiracy of Philip VI.

Five days later.

Afternoon.

Paris, Palais Royal.

The bedroom is filled with a rich aroma, hidden in the golden light, as if falling into a dream.

The bed standing in the center of the room is covered with tulle, which makes it even more noble and elegant.

The purple curtain hangs down directly after hitting the ground, and the golden edge is as delicate as silk, and the gorgeousness of the bed cover does not look ostentatious.

The bed is surrounded by luxurious gold felt, giving it a noble look.

Philip VI was lying on the bed, his face showing kindness, and his dark green eyes were looking out the window.

From the window, you can see the beautiful view of the Royal Palace.

Philip VI was suddenly infatuated at this time.

Fascinated by the elegance of this bedroom and the sense of presence left by yourself.

Even a little bit of fear in my heart?

"Haven't you lived enough?"

Philip VI said to himself.

There is nothing to fear but death.

No one in the bedroom answered him, but Philip VI was waiting.

It wasn't until a long time later, in the midst of Philip VI's incessant coughing and waiting, that footsteps finally rang at the bedroom door.

The sound of footsteps was all too familiar to Philip VI.

Before the person entered the bedroom, the words came first.

"You'd better find out what I'm up to."

John appeared impatiently, dressed in splendid clothes, and had been busy lately talking to the nobles of Paris.

In order to facilitate his smooth ascension, he had to contact court affairs in advance.

During this time, he participated in court meetings, which led to him having to see Philip VI every day.

John told his wife that he didn't want to see Philip VI twice in one day.

Philip VI was not angry, he lay on the bed without any intention of getting up, and motioned for John to close the door and let him come close and speak.

He smiled kindly and greeted with a warm face.

"These days, I'm busy meeting and chatting with them, so there's nothing wrong with it."

"What's your business!"

John's face was full of disgust.

"Why don't they have anything to do with me, they are still my nobles, without my permission, do you think they all take the initiative to kiss your hot ass and listen to you tell ridiculous knightly stories?"

"Hey, what the hell are you calling me for! If it's just preaching, I don't think it's necessary! I don't want to hear from you. ”

In normal times, the father and son of the Valois family would have begun to quarrel and throw things.

But Philip VI rarely did not get angry, and still showed a kind smile, like a kind elder, with a caring tone.

However, when John saw his expression, he became even more resistant and angry.

He cursed.

"Don't show that look! Who do you want to show it to? Do you want to show me? ”

John pointed angrily at his face: "Don't pretend to be such a kind father! I've grown up and not your dog! I don't want to act with you! ”

"You can't act, your brain is in water, are you!"

"Don't look at me with that expression! You are not a worthy father, let alone a qualified king, and even less a qualified husband! Don't put on your best face in the world, are you kidding me! ”

Philip VI did not make a wave, still wearing the face that made John angry.

He watched John's anger like a child is throwing a tantrum over a toy missing.

"Sorry, kid. So what do you think I should look like? ”

John was speechless, where had he thought about this.

"I don't want to talk to you, tell me quickly, what do I want to do! I don't want to hear from you. ”

Philip VI coughed heavily, looked deeply at his impatient son John, and spoke slowly.

"Etienne Obert."

John frowned: "Who?" ”

"Etienne, the new Pope."

John was stunned: "Clement VI has just died, and the selection of the papal name has not yet begun, how do you know that it will be him?" ”

"What is not to be done, child." Philip IV explained, "If I have time, I would like to teach you slowly, the Holy Sect is a bunch of pigs who never know how to be greedy, we and they will never be all the way, and the Valois family only wants to return to the territory that belongs to our ancestors." But these pigs, who never know greed, want to covet the belt of the whole world. ”

John's mind is not so flexible, and if Bonnet is there, he can help explain.

John of a man, he couldn't figure out what Philip VI meant by saying this.

"What do you want to say, that Etienne, what does it have to do with me?"

"He's the new pope, so of course he has something to do with you."

"Huh?" John was still puzzled, and it wasn't until he looked at Philip VI's nonchalant smile that he finally understood: "You mean Pope Clement VI, who died because of you?!" ”

"Otherwise, my silly boy."

Philip VI liked John's surprise very much, he was different before, he hated John's surprise, he thought he was too stupid, too stupid people to be on the stage, especially the future king.

But now Philip VI is very fond of his children.

He smiled, and couldn't help but cough heavily.

"How can you do this!"

"Don't forget, the Pope who died at the hands of our King of France was no less than Clement VI."

"I haven't forgotten! But "

"Listen to me, child, Etienne is an obedient man, but he is also a very ambitious man. My Messenger inquired that he had been trying to move the Holy See back to Rome, and that he had even intended to do so. ”

John had a hard time understanding: "Then you still support him to become the new pope!" ”

"People with ambition are not terrible, because people with ambition are also not low, and you can know in advance what they want to do, you can easily control this kind of person, even if he wants to resist you, he can't do anything. But children, you have to be wary of those who are extremely capable, but have no ambition and can't figure out what they think. ”

John was silent, and he felt from Philip VI's mouth who Philip VI wanted to say.

"You mean Xu? And Miss Raya? ”

"That's right, it's them!" When Philip VI talked about Xu Siling and Fei'er, his eyes immediately widened: "You must not relax your vigilance against them, they are terrible.!" If you don't watch out for them, you'll be defenseless and eaten until they're sucking your marrow and you'll not react! ”

Why are nobles jealous of Xu Siling and Fei'er?

The reason is that Xu Siling and Fei'er never play cards according to common sense.

No one knows what they really want.

Don't want to make money? And then start the Battle of Tamuburg?

This behavior can be ignored without much ability.

But if you have great ability, you have to underestimate it.

What is visible is never worth fearing.

The things that are scary are always those that you can't see clearly, but you can clearly feel the pressure.

For example, Fei'er and Xu Siling, this is the case.

It seems to belong to the royal family, to the aristocracy, and even more to the Holy See.

But again, they don't belong to either side.

No one knows what they want.

But Philip VI had to admit that the current France, the current royal family, needed the existence of Phil and Xu Siling.

Only their presence can better promote the development of France.

"No, you don't want to disturb my mind, Xu is not as bad as you imagined, and Miss Raya will not frame me!"

Philip VI suddenly laughed: "Child, then you tell me, Xu is so powerful, what is he trying to do." Fei'er is already a saint, what is she trying to do. ”

John was suddenly silent, not knowing how to answer.

"I don't know it's okay, I don't know it's a shame, because I don't know either. But just because you don't know, that's what you should pay attention to and be wary of. ”

"Etienne, you have to write more to him, he is the person I left for you, you can use it well, but I don't know how long you can control him after I die, but if he gets out of control, then there is no need for him to stay."

John glared: "You're fine, you haven't died so soon, what do you mean." ”

"It's pretty much it."

With a relieved smile, Philip VI motioned for John to bring him a glass of water at the head of the bed, he was thirsty.

Although he was not pleased, John took the glass of water and handed it to Philip VI.

He had just gotten up to leave the bedside, but Philip VI grabbed John's arm and wouldn't let him go.

"Sit down, and we'll have a good chat."

"Good, good! Don't pull me, I'll sit! ”

John always felt that something was wrong with his father, but he couldn't say anything.

Seeing that John was obedient, Philip VI couldn't help but smile, looked at the glass of water in his hand and was silent for a moment, and finally drank it without hesitation.

It wasn't until he finished drinking that he sighed comfortably.

"Child, I know you hate me, but you should understand me."

"I don't understand, no matter how troublesome Blanche is, there is always a way to deal with her!"

"Your solution is to give Blanche to Xu?"

"He promised me that he would take care of Blanche! Not to mention, you can't blame Xu for Blanche's matter! It's you, if it's not you, it's harmful."

John stopped talking, his lips tightly closed, and his expression was pained.

Philip VI smiled silently, his face full of regret.

"Child, I regret it all the time, I think of her every night, but if I go back to my previous choice, I will still choose to do it, after she knows, she will understand me, and she will understand me for the rest of my life."

"Don't say this kind of nonsense, mother, she is stupid to believe it, I don't believe it!"

Philip VI smiled, smiling bitterly: "You should be a little more like me, not a little more like her." ”

"The greatest luck in my life is that I am not like you!"

Philip VI laughed even louder, but suddenly he coughed violently, and even coughed up blood.

John immediately panicked: "What's wrong with you! Damn, I'll go to the doctor! ”

He made a gesture to get up, but Philip VI grabbed John's wrist.

Philip VI was very happy, and until he died he would understand how worried his children were about him, otherwise he should have watched from the sidelines if he knew that he was in trouble.

John's concern was comforting to Philip VI.

"Kid, don't look for it."

"What are you doing!"

"Sit down, be obedient, I won't live long."

"That's not death now!"

"No, I just have to die now."

John looked horrified: "What are you talking about? ”

"I said, I'm going to die today, son, sit down, okay."

John sat back on his bed as if he had lost his soul.

"Child, hold my hand."

John stretched out with some trembling as he took Philip VI's hand on the quilt.

The two hadn't been in close contact for a long time.

From Philip VI to the king, so many years.

Never.

John felt the old weakness on Philip VI's hands, looked at the old age spots on the back of his hands, and suddenly felt in a trance.

His green eyes trembled, and he looked up at Philip VI's still kind and kind smile, blood hanging from the corners of his mouth.

"Don't worry, child, I know you won't understand it now, but tell Bonnet about my choice to leave, and she will tell you that I am doing this for a reason, and I have a reason to die."

"No, you shouldn't"

"My good boy, don't speak, listen to what I have to say"

John pursed his lips and bowed his head.

"Now is the best time for you to sit in this position, thanks to Raya, the entire nobility, including the Holy See, has been forced to mobilize, everyone has begun to prepare for the war with England that will follow, and everyone is still willing to believe in the royal family."

"And I can't die in the period when the war started, it's a big blow to morale, so I have to die."

John lowered his head and couldn't see his expression clearly: "That's not now."

"Because I have to give you time."

"When?" John was puzzled.

Philip VI laughed and did not continue the subject.

"Ever since I sat in this position, my son, all I have been thinking about is solving all the troubles facing the kingdom."

"There's trouble in the territory, and I'm going to settle the war."

"The nobles are in trouble, and I have to deal with the nobles."

"The Pope is in trouble, I want to replace the Pope"

"Blanche is in trouble, and I'm going to kill her."

"I regret everything I did, I regret that after becoming a king, I didn't have time to spend well with you, I didn't have time to spend well with your mother."

"But I'm still going to do it."

"Because to this day, I have become a trouble to the kingdom, a trouble to you."

"I had to work myself out."

John was about to shake his hands and get up and go to the doctor: "No! You can still be saved! ”

Philip VI dragged him and motioned for John to sit down.

"Child, after drinking that glass of water, I won't have more than ten minutes left, I feel that my consciousness is blurry, can you take this little time to stay by my side more."

"No, damn it! You can't do this! You can't be so selfish! Why do you do it every time! Why don't you bother with my thoughts, why don't you ask me! Why did you make this decision, you can tell me, you are not in trouble! Nobody wants to solve you! Oh my God, damn it! Damn it! Why are you so selfish! ”

John clenched Philip VI's hand and cried hysterically.

Philip VI still had a kind smile on his face, and he held the child's hand tightly.

"Son, you have to blame me, and you have to hate me even more."

"But you must always remember that you are the king and you are the master of France."

"I won't blame you, I won't hate you, you're my good boy"

"You have to remember, John."

"Your mother and I love you very much."

"Child, don't feel a psychological burden because of my death, you have to be generous and enjoy everything that belongs to you, I don't want you to reciprocate everything that I have done to you, I just want you to be able to go well, I love you, from heaven to hell"
