The Rise of the European Emperor

()

() Marin is not a fool either, after a little pondering after going back, he realized that the other party is probably pretending to be dizzy. Moreover, this is the other party's best choice.

However, this act of dizziness also comes at a price. For example, Frederick III pretended to be stunned, not only to deceive Marin, but also to deceive the princes. Otherwise, Frederick III will be despised by those princes collectively.

Europe is still in a barbaric age and reveres violence. Therefore, to avoid a duel by pretending to be stunned is obviously very shameful in the eyes of those barbaric princes.

Therefore, Frederick III pretended to be dizzy, not only to avoid himself, but also to avoid the princes in the city. It would be very embarrassing to be seen as a fake faint, and it would also lose a lot of powder...

Under normal circumstances, Marin estimated that the next day, Frederick III, who was pretending to be dazed, would find an opportunity to announce that he "was awake". Then, continue to make waves in the city and speak ill of yourself in front of the princes.

Therefore, Marin intends not to give the other party this chance...

How to do it? It is to take people to challenge Frederick III every day and ask for a duel. In desperation, the other party could only continue to pretend to be dizzy. And once Frederick III pretended to be dizzy, he would not be able to appear in front of the princes in the city, nor would he be able to discredit Marin in front of the princes.

For if the princes saw that Frederick III was talking ill of Marin there, but not fighting, they would have strongly despised him.

So, early the next morning, Marin continued to run outside the city gate to challenge Frederick III.

Marin used an oak lance to pick up yesterday's red women's pants, shook it forcefully under the city, and then loudly "invited" Frederick III out of the city to a duel, or put the woman's red pants on his head...

Frederick III, who had planned to "get better" and "wake up" today, was so frightened that he continued to be "sick in bed" and did not dare to come out and jump. Because, once you come out and jump, you have to face Marin's duel invitation...

then,

The melon eaters discovered that Frederick III, the elector of Saxony, who fainted yesterday, is still lying in bed today and cannot get out. This is really not good news for the melon eaters who are looking forward to a wonderful duel.

Only some experienced nobles could see the plan of Frederick III. It stands to reason that Frederick III's handling of this matter is very smart and old-fashioned. However, he encountered a Marin who played cards out of line. The person fainted on the first day, and came back the next day, as if he would not let the other party go without pk, so that Frederick III could not "wake up" now, so he could only continue to lie on the bed despite the hot weather . If it takes a few more days, it is estimated that the prickly heat can be covered...

But in the next few days, Marin seemed to be addicted, and challenged him every day, forcing Frederick III to be unable to come out to jump, nor to plot countermeasures with everyone.

The weather in August was hot and humid, but under the pressure of Marin, Frederick III could only lie in bed and pretend to be sick. He felt that not only would he be covered with prickly heat, he might even be covered with hemorrhoids...

While watching the jokes of Frederick III, a few cunning and cunning nobles had to admire Marin's ghost spirit, and it was rare to actually force Frederick III, who was good at tricks, to this level. The problem is that Frederick III is 42 years old and has a lot of experience. And Marin, only 27 years old, is so cunning as a fox...

How do they know that Marin is almost 40 years old after counting the 28 years of his previous life and the 11 years since his transmigration. Although the talent for conspiracy and intrigue is not as good as that of Frederick III, he had stored too much knowledge and strategies in his mind in his previous life. Coupled with the insight and knowledge that has been ahead for hundreds of years, Frederick III has not fallen behind.

It's just that Marin's background is a shortcoming, and he has always been rejected by the traditional aristocratic circle. Even if Marin is really the bloodline of the Blok family, the traditional ruling family of East Frisian, the Blok family was regarded as a barbarian by the German nobles, and they were not allowed to enter the Imperial House of Princes. Marin is the descendant of the Blok family. , and naturally also does not fall into the eyes of those traditional aristocrats. It is precisely on this basis that Frederick III, the representative of the traditional great aristocracy, was able to suppress Marin in the imperial parliament.

Marin also knew that his fame and background were far inferior to Frederick III, so he desperately tried to find a way to attack the other's reputation. For example, this time, if you duel, just duel, and what is it to find a woman wearing red pants? Also asked the other party to wear a head...

Frederick III was so frightened that he pretended to faint, but Marin still did not let it go. He came to challenge every day and asked for pk. In desperation, Frederick III had to lie in bed every day and pretend to be sick. In other seasons, lying in bed is not so bad. But now is August, the hottest season. In the era of no air conditioner, lying in bed on a hot day is not to enjoy, but to suffer...

Just as Marin was begging for a duel every day outside the city gate of Worms, a huge diplomatic team came from the east—the proposing team sent by the King of Poland and the Grand Duke of Lithuania, Alexander, arrived...

The leader of the team is the Minister of Foreign Affairs of the Grand Duchy of Lithuania, Beresky. This is nothing, the princes of Worms, it is not that they have never seen the Minister of Foreign Affairs, the emperor has seen it many times.

The problem is that this Beresky is too pompous. He came as soon as he came, because Mao took a whole three thousand plate knights behind him? Is this a visit or a war? This is not counting the six thousand attendants brought by the three thousand plate knights. The entire team added up to a total of more than 9,000 people, almost tens of thousands...

The Archbishop of Inz personally welcomed Beresky into the city and gave him a warm reception. The banquet was grand and many princes attended. After all, Alexander's face is not to be seen in Beleschi's face.

Who is Alexander? That was the King of Poland and the Grand Duke of Lithuania! Perhaps the King of Poland or the Grand Duke of Lithuania alone can only be regarded as equal to the elector. But adding up the two powerful countries, it is almost the same as His Majesty Maximilian I, Emperor of the Holy Roman Empire, only slightly lower. But in terms of domestic influence and real power, it even surpassed the emperor Maximilian I.

Therefore, instead of looking at the monk's face and looking at the Buddha's face, the princes warmly welcomed Beresky. Moreover, some princes even planned to temporarily borrow the 3,000 plate knights and 6,000 knight attendants brought by Beresky to fight against the army of 10,000 brought by Marin to facilitate negotiations.

But after three rounds of drinking, when Beresky opened his mouth, all the princes present were dumbfounded...

why? Beleschi engaged in such a big battle, not to show off force, but just to propose marriage...

That's all, but it's not good for him to propose marriage, he has to propose to Marin... This... Isn't this embarrassing for everyone?

Moreover, if this guy proposes a marriage, he will bring him three thousand plate armor knights. Nearly 10,000 people, including the attendants, were brought here. Isn't this giving Malin a boost?

Marin had brought an army of 10,000 troops, plus Beleski's nearly 10,000 troops, how could this negotiation proceed?

As a result, the originally harmonious banquet suddenly became dull. The faces of many princes are full of sadness, and they can't drink anymore...
