The Rise of the European Emperor

Chapter 954 Spreading Rumors

The next day, the cronies sent by Prime Minister Alex went to search the mountain, and then "found" several pieces of abandoned English-style plate armor. Then, Prime Minister Alex announced that the murderer of the "King Killing Case" was an Englishman...

In fact, those pieces of English-style plate armor were just the spoils that were looted when the Scottish army invaded the northern counties of England last time, and they were almost moldy in the warehouse.

Last night, Prime Minister Alex remembered the pile of junk, so he put it in a bag. In the morning, he found an absolutely reliable subordinate and ordered him to take the bag out of the city and into the mountains near Gorbridge Valley. After disguising the signs of good people passing by, he took out these prepared England Standard plate armor, bring it back as evidence to cross.

However, Prime Minister Alex did not know that the place where his cronies forged the scene was less than 500 meters away from the place where Kahn buried the plate armor. If they expand their search area and dig a bit, they'll find real evidence...

After finding the "evidence", Prime Minister Alex found a group of civil servants who stayed behind and publicly displayed the evidence. Then, he also took everyone to the forged traces for a field inspection. The people present were ordinary civil servants, and there were no professional criminal investigation experts like later generations. Then, everyone was fooled by Prime Minister Alex...

Since the "true culprit" was actually not wrong and had surfaced, then the suspicion of John Stewart was naturally eliminated. Then, both Prime Minister Alex and Queen Margaret publicly expressed their support for John Stewart, an authentic royal bloodline, to succeed to the Scottish throne. And after John Stewart was released, he also publicly stated that he wanted to marry Queen Margaret...

Then, of course, everyone is happy...

However, due to national security considerations, this time John Stewart ascended the throne and did not invite representatives of other countries to participate. Because the Scots were worried that before John Stewart officially ascended the throne, the English would send troops to intervene. Therefore, they chose to cut the mess with a quick knife, first holding a state funeral for James IV, and then holding a coronation ceremony for John Stewart three days later...

Moreover, with the coronation ceremony, the wedding of John Stewart and Queen Margaret was held in the church anyway, so it was easy to do it together...

...

John Stewart was crowned as the new king of Scotland, called John I. In Scottish history, there was actually a king named John, namely John Barrio. But the Bruce dynasty and the Barrio dynasty, which only reigned for 4 years, were mortal enemies and refused to recognize John Barrio's kingship. The Stuart Dynasty was founded by the grandson of Robert Bruce, the founder of the Bruce Dynasty, and naturally followed the wishes of the Bruce Dynasty, and also refused to recognize John Barrio's status as the king of Scotland. Even Robert III, who was originally named John, changed his name to Robert after his coronation. The first edict issued by it announced that the murderer of James IV was suspected of being an Englishman. Then, he showed the public several pieces of English plate armor as evidence...

Immediately, the people of Edinburgh were excited and shouted to avenge His Majesty James IV. Taking this opportunity, Prime Minister Alex ordered people to recruit troops on the spot, and more than 500 young people with high blood signed up to join the army on the spot...

Soon, the edict was sent to other parts of Scotland outside Edinburgh. Among them, it also includes the southern part of the border with England.

At this time, the members of Coster and Maric's "Robin Hood Thieves" were still active in southern Scotland. Naturally, they also learned of this edict. Then, they tore down the notice promulgating the edict in front of the town hall in a small town at night and took them back to Newcastle.

And Coster, who sits in Newcastle, was surprised:

"What, the Scottish side concluded that the English side assassinated James IV? Did they find any evidence?"

"It's not very clear, but it is said that Scottish Prime Minister Alex led people near Gorbridge Valley and found a site where armor was discarded.

It's protected now..."

"Abandoned armor? What kind of armor?" Coster asked with concern, thinking that the pile of buried armor had been discovered by the Scots.

"It is said that it is a few pieces of English armor..."

Coster suddenly realized paralysis, it turned out to be fooling people. Kahn and the others are clearly wearing French plate armor...

Therefore, Coster can immediately infer that this is a false evidence deliberately created by the Kingdom of Scotland in order to stabilize people's hearts. Otherwise, John Stewart, who was framed by them, would not be able to ascend to the throne... Wait, the queen or Margaret?

Coster suddenly felt a little weird, but he didn't have any good ideas. So, he made a decision to send a clipper to send the news back to Aurich, the capital of the North Sea Kingdom, and hand it over to Marin to decide...

...

A few days later, Marin received an urgent report from Coster. Seeing this report, Marin is also a little confused. John Stewart became King of Scotland and married Margaret?

The amount of information was a bit large, and Marin didn't slow down for a while. But after seeing that the other party used the English standard plate armor as evidence and published it, Marrington suddenly understood...

"Mass, it turns out that there is no evidence to deliberately frame it..."

But Marin had to admit that the opponent played this hand really beautifully. At least, the situation in Scotland quickly stabilized, and England shared the same hatred.

However, this is not what Marin likes to see. If the Scots were united, then attacking Scotland would be a little troublesome.

So, how to resolve the opponent's "move"? Marlin was lost in thought...

"Hey, I really underestimated this John Stewart, and actually came up with a way to marry the former queen to get enough support..." Marin didn't know, this solution was not thought up by John Stewart, but by Queen Margaret voluntarily proposed...

"Cousin marrying cousin... Why does it sound weird..." Marin thought while rubbing his chin.

"Sister-in-law...sister-in-law..." Ma Lin suddenly remembered the classic uncles and sisters Wu Song and Pan Jinlian...

"Second uncle..."

"Sister-in-law..."

Marin suddenly thought crooked, thinking of a crooked book called Jin Hemei... Then, he thought of Ximen high officials, and Wu Dalang, who had been poisoned to death...

"Big wolf, drink it now, you'll be cured after drinking it..." Marin unconsciously remembered the TV episode of Pan Jinlian giving medicine to the unfortunate Wu Dalang... After drinking the medicine, Wu Dalang rolled over all over the bed, and then Covered by a quilt...

"Cough cough... the building is crooked..."

Suddenly, a flash of lightning flashed through Marin's brain...

"Oh, there is!" Marin suddenly slapped the back of his head.

Through this series of wild thoughts before, Marin suddenly came up with a crooked idea...

For now, Marin hopes that John Stewart will become the murderer of the king, and also hopes that Queen Margaret, the only bloodline of the Tudor Dynasty, will be unlucky. Well, it's best if they both are suspected of murdering the king...

How to put both John Stewart and Queen Margaret on charges of monarchy? Naturally, it's a false accusation! And how to frame them? Both Water Margin and Jin x Mei have given demonstrations. Is there a more suitable joke than annihilating the husband and the silver woman?

In the previous life, Marin also worked as a street writer, and it's not a problem to write a joke. Soon, the story of a younger brother-in-law who colluded with his cousin after returning to China took shape in Marin's pen.

After John Stewart returned from France last year, he colluded with Queen Margaret, his cousin whose "husband was not at home", followed by a series of scenes with mosaics... Then, bad news came Da Lang... Ah No, it was James IV who actually returned home...

In order to stay with his sister-in-law, John Stewart made up his mind and decided to kill his cousin Wuda... James IV...

And Queen Margaret, the silver woman, was also afraid of being liquidated by her husband after returning, so she conspired with her husband, John Stewart, to send someone to kill the hapless and green-headed James IV halfway...

...

After writing the manuscript, Marin dried the ink and admired it for a while, feeling that this must be a gossip story that the public is very interested in...

Then, Marin found Kohler and ordered him to send a spy from the North Sea Chamber of Commerce to spread this gossip joke in taverns in various European countries. Whatever it is, pour some dirty water on John Stewart and Queen Margaret first...

Gossip and rumors are spreading everywhere, and they can be confused with the real. Besides, these days, fake news has not been blocked, rumors can be spread casually, as long as they are well concealed and don’t let people find out…

When this gossip rumor has fermented, it seems that Edward also has an excuse to send troops...

After ordering the spread of rumors, Marin sent an emissary to England to inform Edward and let him cooperate so as not to miss the opportunity due to unknowing...
