The Rise of the European Emperor

Saqqara lost Margaret Tudor, so she was naturally depressed. Moreover, because of being misled, the interception must have failed. However, he is also very busy now, and he has no time to deal with intercepting Margaret Tudor at all. Because, the Kingdom of Scotland still has a lot of things waiting for him.

First of all, occupying Edinburgh does not mean occupying Scotland. Therefore, he now needs to use the captives captured by Edinburgh to achieve complete control of Scotland.

How to control it? It's very simple, let those original Scottish ministers help persuade them to surrender...

For example, Scottish Prime Minister Alex is the key target of Saqqara. However, this old man is very knowledgeable about current affairs, and he decided to take refuge in the "Imperial Army" before he was tortured...

Then, on behalf of the Scottish cabinet, Prime Minister Alex issued an order to surrender to the Scottish defenders who were resisting the English army in the south.

But before ordering the army to surrender, there is one very important thing to do, and that is to redraw the conclusion of James IV's death...

This is very important. Only by "proving" that James IV was not killed by the English would it be easier for Scots to accept England's rule. Otherwise, some Scots with poor brains will use this as an excuse to resist to the end.

So Prime Minister Alex issued a statement first...

In the statement, Prime Minister Alex admitted that the results of the previous investigation were falsified and that the false conclusions were released under the coercion of the Praetorian Guards controlled by Queen Margaret. As for the few pieces of English standard plate armor used as evidence, they were found in the warehouse from the trophies seized when James IV invaded northern England. After that, Prime Minister Alex also took out the storage list of those England-style relocations, proving that he really did not lie this time.

As for John Stewart, Prime Minister Alex said that John Stewart was originally under house arrest. But in the end Margaret Tudor used the power of the Guards to force him to release John Stewart and put him on the throne...

Moreover, the surviving knight of that attack made it clear that when the assassin retreated, he once said that he would return to the Duke...

In the end, Prime Minister Alex concluded that His Majesty James IV was most likely assassinated by the conspiracy of John Stewart and Margaret Tudor. Possibly, the two colluded together a long time ago, and finally conspired to assassinate His Majesty James IV. After all, the Gobridge Valley is too close to Edinburgh, so it is unlikely that the English did it, and the possibility of their own power is much higher...

...

Prime Minister Alex wrote this statement very cleverly. He did not insist that England did it like last time, and directly concluded that John Stewart and Margaret Tudor conspired to assassinate James IV. Because, even if he concluded that, the Scots would not believe it.

Therefore, he adopted the method of enumerating the facts, first negating the previous conclusions, and emphasizing the so-called "facts" that Margaret Tudor coerced himself to draw such a conclusion (in fact, he was only talking to Margaret Tudor. Duo is just in collusion). In this way, people get the impression that John Stewart and Margaret Tudor lied...

Why are they lying? If those monarchs, they would definitely understand that this is to make the country settle down quickly. But ordinary citizens, even nobles in the middle and lower classes don't understand...

In this era, the literacy rate in Europe is very low, and politicians with strategic vision are extremely rare. Therefore, most of them will not understand the intention of John Stewart and Margaret Tudor to lie. In the eyes of ordinary people, since they lied, they might be the real murderers. Otherwise, they don't need to lie...

It was by taking advantage of this mentality of ordinary people that Alex dared to "deduce" in his statement that it was John Stewart and Margaret Tudor who conspired to assassinate James IV. As for the high-ranking ministers in Scotland who can see through John Stewart and Margaret Tudor's lying intentions... Sorry, they were all captured this time... There were still a few big nobles who could see through,

Still locked up in London...

Therefore, when this statement was issued, no other free Scots could see through Alex's intentions. Therefore, it is easier for them to believe that it was John Stewart and Margaret Tudor who murdered His Majesty James IV...

...

Even in Edinburgh, several folk theater troupes began to perform a play called "Murder of the Husband" under the instruction of Saqqara.

The protagonists of the comedy all use their real names, His Majesty James, the vicious Queen Margaret, and Duke John who conspired with Queen Margaret...

This play clearly tells everyone that James IV was killed by the conspiracy of John Stewart and Margaret Tudor.

As for the script, it was naturally written by the great "dramalist" Marin von Hoffmann. This play mainly draws on the plot of Hamlet's uncle killing his brother and marrying his wife in Shakespeare's "Hamlet", as well as some plots in "Wu Song Killing His Wife" in my Dahuaxia. Although the plot is different, it also draws on many classic lines.

However, because Marin's writing style is so-so, a good classic, he wrote it into a third-rate soap opera script...

But it doesn't matter, because Shakespeare and other drama masters have not yet been born, and European drama is still a desert. Therefore, even if the script written by Marin himself is at the level of a third-rate soap opera, he can't stand the fact that there is no better comparison with it.

Then, this third-rate soap opera-level drama called "Murder of My Husband" was extremely popular in Edinburgh. Then, because of the brainwashing of continuous performances, the citizens of Edinburgh basically believed that James IV was indeed murdered by the conspiracy of John Stewart and Margaret Tudor...

...

Not to mention, Saqqara found the body of a tall and strong man from the Scottish guards who died in battle, very similar to the hunk that Kahn reminded... and bribed a Scottish knight who survived the assassination to identify him Among them was the strong man who took the lead in killing James IV. Because, on the day of the attack on Edinburgh Castle, the brother who died in battle happened to wield an iron rod to resist and wounded several soldiers of the Fourth Legion... This was seen by many people, and, with such characteristics, It was so much like the assassin who took the lead in smashing James IV to death with an iron rod...

In fact, this buddy originally used a two-handed sword. But during the battle for the castle, his two-handed sword was cut off because of poor quality. So, he picked up an iron rod from the side and waved it to resist. Then, several sword and shield soldiers of the Fourth Army were injured. In the end, he was killed by a musket.

As a result, Saqqara had an idea, hinting at a Scottish knight who survived the assassination, identifying him as the murderer who took the lead in assassinating James IV. Moreover, that buddy's figure is indeed very similar to Kahn, and it happened that he hit someone with an iron rod before he died... Then, apart from the surviving Scottish knight who was bribed, the others also vaguely felt that it should be He was right...

In fact, the surviving Scottish knight who was bribed had no future because his leg was broken and he could no longer hold his post. It is foreseeable that his future life will definitely be embarrassing. Saqqara directly gave a bag of gold coins, and promised that his son could inherit the title of knight without taking the exam (the son of an ordinary knight cannot inherit the title of knight unless he can pass a very strict test). Then, the surviving knight with a broken leg directly insisted that the Scottish guard who died in battle with the iron rod was the one who took the lead in assassinating James IV...

In this way, after multi-pronged propaganda, it is difficult for the Scots to believe that James IV was murdered by John Stewart and Margaret Tudor...

Seeing the successful reversal of black and white, Saqqara and Alex discussed that they could start recruiting those southern Scottish defenders...
