The Rise of the European Emperor

Although it is ready, it will be a long time before the real naval battle breaks out. Because, at this moment, the Mamluk fleet of Egypt and the warships and sailors supported by the Venetians have not yet left the Red Sea. From the Red Sea to the Arabian Sea, and then to the Indian Sea, it still takes a long time at the speed of ships in this era.

The delegation of the Holy See finally arrived in Paris, and the oil paintings collected in the royal palace in England were also sent over. When Edward heard that Margaret, the bitch, was pregnant, he almost went crazy with anger. Therefore, in order to verify the authenticity, Edward took out all the oil paintings of Marguerite in the palace from childhood to adulthood and sent them to Paris.

But these are useless, because Louis XII really found a pregnant woman who looks like Marguerite. There is no way, in this era of France, there are not many other things, but there are many people. Was looking for a pregnant woman who looked like Margaret, and found it by accident. What surprised Louis XII the most was that this pregnant woman named Nancy was actually the daughter of a French knight. As the daughter of an aristocrat, Nancy can speak Latin even though the knight family doesn't pay much attention to their children's cultural education. Just, not very skilled. After all, the knight family that Nancy belongs to is a family of scumbags.

It's just that Margaret had already discussed with Louis XII - when the time comes, let Nancy pretend to be sick. Isn't it normal for a seriously ill person to not speak fluently?

For a moment, after getting Nancy who looked exactly like Marguerite, Louis XII had the idea of ​​getting rid of the real Marguerite and replacing him with Nancy. After all, Margaret is too smart to be easy to control. How can she be reliable and easy to control?

However, Jones and others who escaped from England made Louis XII's plan come to nothing. After Jones and other Tudor remnants came to France, they quickly found Margaret and supported her as Queen of England in exile. These people are very familiar with Margaret, so that Louis XII can't fool him. As for getting rid of Jones and others, Louis XII also thought about it, but he gave up. why? Because people like Jones were originally the illegitimate children or offshoot members of the great aristocratic families in England. These people were very important to the restoration of the Tudor dynasty, and Louis XII could not just get rid of them.

And after Margaret experienced two disasters of ruining the country and losing her husband, her Gongdou ability value also rose rapidly, almost reaching Zhen Huan's. She saw the eyes of Louis XII who wanted to get rid of her, and in order to protect herself, she gathered Jones and others by her side. In addition, he also recruited more remnants of the Tudor dynasty in exile in France and united with him. In addition, Margaret also wooed the Scottish nobles in exile in France to support herself. These people have been in contact with Margaret for a long time, so they are naturally familiar with her. They can also see the difference between Margaret and Nancy at a glance. In this way, Louis XII could not move Marguerite easily.

...

Although there were also internal struggles between the two parties, they remained consistent when facing the investigation by the Holy See. In order to prove that Nancy lying on the bed and pretending to be sick is Margaret, Jones and others, as well as the Scottish nobles in exile in France, all stood up to show their identities and showed their identity certificates.

And unanimously determined that the pregnant woman lying on the bed was Margaret.

In this way, even if the representatives of the Holy See wanted to favor Edward, it would be difficult to make a decision. In the end, the conclusion given by the delegation of the Holy See is that—it seems that Margaret herself...

Although the wording of this conclusion is somewhat vague, it is almost a conclusion.

After getting the news, both Marin and Edward were dumbfounded—Nimma, is it really such a coincidence that the woman was pregnant at this critical moment?

Marin is okay, just a little confused. As for Edward, he was out of breath. How angry are you? All the oriental porcelain bought from Marin for facade at the last auction was broken...

"This bitch, is she really pregnant? Mad, if I give birth to an evil seed, won't it affect my Scottish throne?" After smashing the porcelain, Edward was suddenly worried.

However, after thinking about it, Edward still couldn't come up with a good solution. In desperation, he could only send an envoy to Aurich by speedboat to ask Marin, the "scheming guy", for advice.

But what can Marin do? Now that things have come to this point, he is also a little helpless. In fact, the best solution is to assassinate Margaret, and it will be over once and for all.

But the problem is that the information sent back from Paris shows that the place where Margaret lives now is extremely well protected. Even, the manor has now been changed to look like a military camp. Except for the mansion where Margaret lived, French soldiers lived all around, and the killer couldn't get in at all.

"Forget it, since we can't find a solution, there is only one choice..." Marin shook his head, and gave Edward's secret envoy a more rogue idea...

What rogue idea? Marin made Edward insist that John Stewart and Margaret were the regicide murderers of James IV.

At the same time, Marin asked Edward to announce that the children of the Kingslayer had no right to inherit the throne...

Under the premise that John Stewart and Margaret were kingslayers, their children are not eligible to inherit the throne. Then, Edward took this opportunity to become King of Scotland first...

...

What? You say Margaret denies it? Yes, come to Edinburgh if you want, let's hold a joint trial of the century and have a good debate. The premise is that you have the guts to come to Edinburgh...

If Margaret really dared to come to Edinburgh, she would not be assassinated. Marin's suggestion is - arrest and execute her blatantly...

why? Because Margaret was the daughter of Henry VII, the Kingslayer! Edward had sentenced the whole family of the Kingslayer to death before, and just missed her. If you dare to come to Edinburgh, you will be caught and executed as the kingslayer's daughter. You say her murder of James IV is in question? Nor did I say that she must have been involved in the assassination of James IV. However, her identity as the daughter of the king killer Henry VII did not escape. I didn't say anything, kill me first...

...

And if Margaret dared not go to Edinburgh, it would be easy. Edward can say to people all over Europe——Look, she didn't even dare to go back to China to debate, she obviously had something in her heart. So, nine times out of ten, she participated in the regicide murder of James IV. Therefore, her children are all the blood of kingslayers and are not worthy of the throne. Otherwise, Europe is still in chaos?

In short, Edward didn't care whether Margaret was pregnant or not, he just "temporarily assumed" the Scottish throne first. If Margaret refuses to accept it, she will come to Edinburgh to argue, and their children will be eligible to inherit until they can prove their innocence and John Stewart's innocence. But can their innocence be proven? Edward, who has already controlled Scotland, obviously will not give the other party a chance. Therefore, Edward will not be able to come down from the Scottish throne...

...

After receiving Marin's almost shameless strategy, Edward struggled for a long time. However, he has no better way. So, he gritted his teeth and carried out Marin's shameless plan-Edward announced that before Margaret clearly proved that she and John Stewart were not involved in James IV's regicide, he would temporarily act as the King of Scotland. bit, until the moment the case is found out...
