The Rise of the European Emperor

What kind of opportunity is Marin talking about? It's an opportunity to slander Queen Anna! In the future, Edward will definitely "get a box lunch", otherwise how will he control England?

However, the existence of Queen Anna became an obstacle. If this woman is strong enough, she might be Cixi or Empress Lu. At that time, if he wants to control England, he will encounter huge obstacles. Even if she doesn't have the skills of Cixi and Empress Lu, her status as Margaret's mother is used by others, which is enough for Marin to drink a pot.

But fortunately, because Anna is the daughter of Count Duert of France, she is the daughter of an enemy nobleman, so this gives Marin room to operate.

Marin didn't have to think about killing Queen Anna, because this woman was very honest. But, no matter how much she should do, her identity is there. Once Edward died, Queen Anna had the right to be regent until Margaret came of age. This point is common in both East and West. Even though Queen Anna doesn't have the ability to be a regent, if a few big nobles support him and use her as a puppet, she will have the ability to compete with Marin, an outsider.

Therefore, if Marin wants to regent in England, he must remove the "stumbling block" of Queen Anna...

Originally, Marin wanted her to "get a box lunch" with Edward. However, if both Edward and his wife were killed, according to the principle of "the one who benefits is the most suspected", it is easy to be suspected.

Therefore, Marin didn't dare to let Queen Anna receive the box lunch easily, so he could only think of other ways to deal with it. And the easiest way for the team uniform is to discredit Queen Anna and make her lose the trust of the English people...

For example, arguments such as "Queen Anna is a French spy" can easily cause Queen Anna to lose the trust of the English and make the English suspicious of her.

As long as this is done, no one will support Queen Anna's regent in the future. At that time, the English will be on Marin's side. After all, the English and the French are feuds, but not the North Sea State.

In this way, Marin can achieve his goal - without killing Queen Anna, he will not be able to compete with himself for the regency of England.

...

Originally, Marin was still thinking of ways to pour dirty water on Anna. But I have never been able to find an opportunity. After all, pouring dirty water on people also needs some circumstantial evidence to achieve the effect of "real hammer".

Coincidentally, this assassination happened. Ma Lin felt keenly—the opportunity to splash dirty water has come!

Although Marceau was a handmaid chosen by Edward himself, she was not brought by Queen Anna from the beginning. However, she has also followed Queen Anna for several years. A few years is enough to develop an unknown person into one's confidant.

After all, the maid stayed by Queen Anna's side all day long.

Therefore, Marin just needs to grasp this and let people spread rumors in London that Queen Anna was involved in the assassination. Even if no evidence is found in the end and nothing is done, it is enough for Queen Anna to drink a pot. Not to mention being abolished as the queen, she will no longer be trusted in the future, but there is no doubt about it. When the seeds of doubt are planted, trust begins to crumble...

Once suspected of being a French spy, even if Queen Anna wants to stand up as a regency in the future, no one else will agree-you, a French spy, want to be a regency? Shouldn't England be sold to France?

In this way, Marin's goal has been achieved...

...

Just do what he said, Marin quickly arranged for Kohler to use the form of flying pigeons to send Morse code instructions to the North Sea spy in London, ordering them to start spreading rumors secretly, linking the assassination incident with Queen Anna... …

After the North Sea spy in London received the order, he immediately carried out Marin's order, and began to describe the fact that the dead little Marceau helped Weissman to gain a foothold in London on various occasions as being received by Queen Anna. instructions. Anyway, everyone is dead, and there is no proof of death, so it is not easy to investigate. Then, these spies spread rumors that Queen Anna's father, Earl Duarte, was planning to attack His Majesty Edward so that France could take the fortress of Calais and further annex England...

After hearing such rumors, the people of England really felt disgusted with Queen Anna. Many people believed that Queen Anna was a spy sent by France. After all, Queen Anna's father was the first son of King Louis XII of France.

For a while, even the voice of "abolishing the queen" appeared among the people...

But Edward was indifferent to this, because, as a bedside person for more than ten years, Edward knew his wife's character very well - she was a very simple woman. To put it bluntly, simplicity means no brains. If Queen Anna really made any small moves, with Edward's control over the London Palace, it is impossible for her to be unaware.

As for the fact that Marceau helped Weisman gain a foothold in London, Edward did know something about it. At the beginning, Edward sent someone to investigate the matter secretly, and found nothing wrong. Moreover, that Weisman is indeed Marceau's distant cousin.

And this time, letting his subordinates beat Marceau to death, in fact, Edward had nowhere to vent his anger, so he had to vent his anger on this little maid. Anyway, this is just a foreign maid.

But Edward did not expect that his inadvertent wayward act of venting his anger was used by Marin's spies, and he even poured dirty water on Queen Anna's head.

...

However, Edward is not a person who trusts others easily. The assassination this time made him believe in Queen Anna, but he also had a little bit of doubt. Therefore, this time he did not immediately clarify the facts and declared that he believed in Queen Anna. However, Queen Anna was not found fault, but treated coldly. Of course, in private, Edward still appeased Queen Anna.

The spy of the North Sea State lurking in the palace of the Tower of London passed the news that "Edward continued to trust Queen Anna" back to the North Sea State.

For this result, Marin was not disappointed. Because, his greatest purpose was not to make Edward doubt Queen Anna, but to make England's subjects doubt Queen Anna.

Because, Edward must have a box lunch. When he dies, it doesn't matter whether he trusts Queen Anna or not. At that time, whether the subjects of England trust Queen Anna is the most important thing. Because a dead person cannot affect the situation.

Therefore, Marin didn't care much about Edward's attitude. Of course, it would be best if Edward also began to doubt Queen Anna.

According to the current situation, although Edward trusted Queen Anna, he did not publicly defend her, which proved that he still had a little bit of doubt in his mind. And he did not publicly defend Queen Anna, which just gave Marin the opportunity to continue to pour dirty water on Queen Anna...

"Have you heard? His Majesty Edward did not publicly deny the idea that 'Queen Anna is a French spy', which proves that this matter is not fabricated. As for His Majesty's failure to refute it publicly, it is probably because Queen Anna belongs to Princess Margaret after all." Mother?" Under the deliberate guidance of the spies of the North Sea State, such remarks were heard in pubs all over England.

In this way, although King Edward's attitude has not changed much, the reputation of Queen Anna, a French woman, in the eyes of the English people is getting worse and worse among the people, and even the ruling and opposition parties...
