The Rise of the European Emperor

Chapter 128: The Edict of Guilty

After seeing the three real diplomatic documents, Mikel was immediately frightened and powerless. He knew that once the three diplomatic documents were sent, he would be a sinner in Denmark.

Moreover, European monarchs will never admit their mistakes, and will definitely find ministers to take the blame. As the Prime Minister of Denmark, isn't Mikel the best scapegoat?

After thinking about this, Mikel reluctantly nodded and agreed to go to the Principality of Schleswig. To this end, Mikel ordered the house to be tidied up and relocated to Schleswig.

However, even after relocating to the Principality of Schleswig, Mikel is still worried that he will become the bearer of Denmark's defeat. Once the blame is taken, chances are the Danes will find ways to kill him. As an old-fashioned politician, he knows all too well what's going on here. Even if he went to the Principality of Schleswig and became the Minister of the Palace, the Danish King Hans would still send someone to kill him in order to find someone to blame. After all, there are also many Danes in the Principality of Schleswig. Perhaps, they will assassinate Mikel when he is not prepared.

As long as Mikel is dead, then Hans will put all the pot on his head. And then, Hans was the king of Denmark...

Mikel shared this concern with Marin. Marin thought that Mikel's concern was very reasonable, so he helped to come up with an idea to solve this problem. After thinking for a long time, Marin patted his thigh and said:

"With it, we can make King Hans's next "Sinful Edict"!"

Didn't King Hans want to throw the blame? Then, Marin intends to find a way to make King Hans issue a "Sinner Edict" and publicly take the blame on himself before he takes the blame...

"The Edict of Self? What is that?" Mikel was puzzled.

Marin suddenly remembered that European emperors did not have the habit of issuing "edicts against oneself". The emperors of Europe repeatedly emphasized "the divine right of the monarch". Even if there is a problem, it is blamed on incompetent ministers or the devil (such as the Black Death). Anyway, the king is right, either the minister made a mistake, or the devil made a mistake...

However, regardless of whether there is an "Edict of the Self" in Europe, when Marin is here, he can definitely give one...

So, Marin took Mikel and used the king's seal and special ink in his hand, and began to issue the first "Edict of Guilty" in Europe in the name of King Hans...

In this first "Edict of the Guilty" in Europe, Marin, in the name of King Hans, informs the Danish subjects - it is me, who mistakenly believed the villain Thomason, the Minister of the Navy, Simonsen, the Minister of the War, and Dorson, the Chancellor of the Exchequer The slanderous remarks, without investigation, sent warships to persecute East Friesland, and accidentally burned the spice ships of Lübeck and Hamburg, which led to the disaster of war...

In fact, when choosing the words, Marin and Mikel had a heated discussion, and finally chose to let King Hans throw the blame on the three favorite ministers. In this way, it is easy to make the Danish monarchs and ministers dirty. It would be abnormal if King Hans carried the pot down with all his might, and throwing the pot to three capable subordinates was the most common practice...

Then, Marin thought of Prince Frederick, the younger brother of King Hans. After the son of King Hans, Christian II, was abolished by the Danish aristocracy, he ascended the throne and became the king of Denmark. Speaking of this, Marin thought of the funny Christian II. This product is considered a strange thing in the European royal family. As a king, he is close to the bourgeoisie and the small nobles, and opposes the big nobles. As a king, he has a "revolutionary spirit". In the end, he was deposed by the great Danish aristocracy, and the throne fell to his uncle Frederick.

Thinking of this, Marin suddenly had an idea and added this paragraph to "The Edict of Guilty":

"I am stupid in talent. After becoming a king, I have little success and brought great disaster to Denmark. My brother, Frederick, is a rare talent. Unfortunately, I was born before him. Frederick would do better than me if he were king..."

This passage,

It was clear that it was to provoke the relationship between King Hans and Frederick. In fact, Frederick is now Duke of Schleswig-Holstein. Of course, his duke is just a false title. Because, the two principalities were actually controlled by the courtiers sent by King Hans before. Frederick, in fact, usually lives in Copenhagen and does not go to the two principalities.

Marin suddenly remembered that he had become the Duke of Schleswig, but it seems that Frederick has not publicly relinquished his title...

Therefore, Marin recruited Frederick and used the "folding method" to coax him into signing the official document, expressing his willingness to publicly give up the titles of the Duchy of Schleswig and the Duchy of Holstein, and never to do so in the future. Repent.

Then, Marin asked Mikel to distribute this document to the entire Kalmar Union and send it abroad...

After solving this hidden danger, Marin and Mikel continued to help King Hans write "The Edict" with great interest. However, writing over and over is nothing more than to show that my aptitude is dull and my IQ is not high. Oops, my brother Frederick is so much smarter than me. If he's king, he'll do better than me...

Moreover, in "Edict of the Self", "King Hans" also vaguely expressed the idea of ​​passing the throne to his younger brother...

After a long time wasted, after compiling the first "Edict of the Self" in European history, Mikel, in the name of the Prime Minister of Denmark, copied hundreds of copies of the "Edict of the Self" and sent it to all parts of the country , and even sent to neighboring Germany.

"Haha, it's done. In this way, I don't have to take this responsibility!" Mikel said excitedly.

"The Edict of Myself", King Hans of Denmark is equivalent to taking responsibility and mistakes on himself. Well, it also mentioned the three favorites of Hans. In this way, the whole of Denmark, and even the whole of Europe, knew about it. At that time, it will be difficult for King Hans to put the pot on Mikel's head again. Because, he has already taken the blame, and the whole world knows it...

Thinking of how depressed King Hans was vomiting blood, Marin laughed happily...

Also, he made a cheap prime minister...

You know, Mikel has been the Prime Minister of Denmark for 10 years, and he is best at handling government affairs. At least, much better than Jeffrey and Heideman. After all, he is the prime minister of the entire Kalmar Union, and his experience and standards are far from what a prime minister of a small country like Jeffrey can match.

Moreover, after Mikel signed the three diplomatic documents and the "Edict of Guilty" this time, he has already cut himself off from Denmark, and it is unlikely that he will hook up with Denmark again. Because, King Hans must have wanted to burn it to ashes...

In this way, Marin can safely appoint him as Prime Minister of the Duchy of Schleswig. With such an "old driver" here, I'm not worried about problems in the Principality of Schleswig...
