The Rise of the European Emperor

King Richard III of England was a master criminal. After killing his two nephews, he cleverly dismembered their bodies and built them inside the wall, so that no one could find their bodies at all. After all, in that era, no one thought that Richard III would have such a thief's means.

As a result, after Henry VII seized the throne, many parties sent people to look for the bodies of Edward V and his younger brother Richard, Duke of York, but they were never found. Henry VII sent people to dig three feet in the Tower of London, but the bodies of the two men could not be found. Therefore, in fact, Henry VII has not been able to have sufficient evidence to prove that Richard III killed the king until now.

However, Henry VII was also very smart. He directly married Edward IV's eldest daughter, Elizabeth of the York family, and became the king of England as Edward IV's eldest son-in-law.

But there is a problem - he can only be considered a legitimate king if he proves that he is not a kingslayer. In other words, he must have enough evidence that Richard III was the kingslayer. In this way, he is the righteous party to eradicate the kingslayer, and he is also the eldest son-in-law of Edward IV, and has enough qualifications to succeed him.

But the problem is that everyone in England knows that Richard III killed the king, but where is the body of the little king who was killed? Can't find the body, it's a headless case...

You know, this classic case of hiding a corpse in a wall is very famous in history. Later, Master Jin Yong borrowed this technique in "Liancheng Jue". The Wanzhen Mountain inside is a master at building walls to hide corpses.

As long as Marin doesn't say it, no one will know about the genius invention of Richard III. Moreover, even if Henry VII was looking for a body, he would not be mad to tear down the entire Tower of London. After all, the Tower of London is still the Royal Palace.

So, it's a dead end. As long as Edward V's body is not found, Henry VII cannot justify his justice. If it is impossible to prove that Richard III was a kingslayer, then Henry VII was a kingslayer. Even if he married Edward IV's eldest daughter, it was useless because he was a kingslayer. Moreover, the male heir of the York family has not been cut off, and even if he married Princess Elizabeth, it could not be considered legal. Therefore, Henry VII kept Edward imprisoned for many years and planned to kill him.

With such conditions, Marin believed that as long as Edward appealed to the Holy See, Henry VII would be in great trouble. After all, Henry VII could not prove that Richard III was a kingslayer. Also, there are men in the York family.

So, as long as Marin asks his father-in-law Julius II to make such a judgment, it is enough to shake the rule of Henry VII - Pope Julius II can judge like this... Before the body of Edward V was found, Can not explain the establishment of Richard III monarchy. Therefore, until the evidence of Richard III's murder of the king is found, Richard III is still the legitimate monarch, and Henry VII is also a suspect of the king's murder... After all, Henry VII was the king-killer on the battlefield, and there is no need to go. looking for evidence...

Once Henry VII bears the title of "suspected of slaying the king", then Edward has the legal qualifications to openly compete with Henry VII for the throne. Then, when Marin sent troops to help Edward, it became an act of justice. Then, fiefs and benefits are not delayed.

The reason why Henry VII was able to get a lot of support before and successfully ascended the throne was based on the heartbreak of Richard III after the monarchy. Therefore, he was able to rely on thousands of soldiers and horses, relying on the opponent's defections, and ascended the throne.

But the question is, you say Richard III murdered the king, what about the evidence? Without evidence, you are the monarch... what about people's hearts? We respect the law, without evidence, your actions are illegal and outrageous...

As for the English aristocrats who were enthroned by the user Henry VII...According to the law, they are considered "attachment", which is also outrageous. Following the kingslayer, such charges can be light or heavy. When the new king needs the support of these nobles, they can naturally be forgiven for their crimes. But if they don't need the support of these nobles, then they can also be killed on the charge of "attacking and participating in monarchy".

Although Europe seldom kills nobles, such great crimes as "subordination" and "participation in monarchy" are eligible for execution.

Marin's plan is - this time not only to help Edward capture England, but also to take the opportunity to kill all those English nobles...or, at least kill most of them...

The purpose of his doing this is naturally to prevent the continued separatist rule of those local lords and influence the kingship. In the near future, it is to facilitate Edward to quickly grasp the situation in England. At the same time, take the opportunity to recover the fiefs of those nobles.

In the long run, it is actually convenient for his son Caesar to reduce resistance when he takes over England in the future. Those fief aristocrats who have been passed down in England for hundreds of years are intertwined in power. As long as they were alive, the political influence in England was enormous.

There are no civilians in the current parliament. Therefore, the council is full of the children of those old nobles. After the Magna Carta, the power of the English aristocracy became stronger and stronger, and it was strong enough to wrestle with the past. In the face of unanimous opposition from the nobles, even the king had to submit.

Therefore, Marin's countermeasure is very simple - kill all the nobles who are attached to Henry VII. In this way, the English Parliament would be paralyzed. At that time, there will be no power to challenge the king.

Of course, the consequences of doing so are also serious. After all, those traditional English noble families have developed for hundreds of years. Even if the major nobles are killed, the remnants of those noble families will definitely be indispensable. Those who slip through the net of the noble family will definitely want to take revenge. But the object of their revenge must be Edward. Chances are, Edward will be assassinated.

Even if Edward had avoided those assassinations, if there was a plan to change the queen, and there was a chance to give birth to a prince, Marin would kill him. Moreover, you can also put the blame on the remnants of the slain nobles...

...

Marin plotted it all insidiously in the room, but in the end, he gave up the idea of ​​killing all the English nobles. Because this is too shocking, and I am afraid it will not be tolerated by the world.

Therefore, the best way is actually to kill all the big nobles with large fiefs, such as those dukes and earls. As for the baron and the minor nobles below the baron, you don't really need to pay attention. Unless some die-hard opponents are to be killed.

This is because the huge England also needs people to manage. In this era, the literate people were mainly nobles and priests. Of course, priests can be officials, but not all priests can be officials. Therefore, it is better to keep those low-level nobles. In this way, the Kingdom of England also has enough officials available.

Moreover, after losing the leading nobles, it is difficult for the parliament to compete with the king. At the same time, the royal family can also take the opportunity to recover the huge fiefdoms of the dukes and earls to increase the property income of the royal family. You know, those dukes and earls manage the fiefs of several counties. As long as those fiefdoms and fiefdoms are killed, the land and wealth of the royal family will increase several times. Therefore, Marin does not believe that Edward is not moved...

This time to seize the throne, there are reasons similar to "rebellion", and most of the great nobles have taken refuge in Henry VII, so they can take the opportunity to raise the butcher's knife, kill all the existing great nobles in England, and deprive them of their fiefs. If you change it to other times, there are no excuses such as "attacking" and "participating in the slaughter of the king", and you have no excuse for wanting to attack the big nobles. If there is no excuse to kill, the end will be the same as Richard III.

Taking advantage of such a great opportunity to eradicate those powerful fiefdoms and aristocrats, not only can they make a fortune, but Edward can take the opportunity to implement a complete centralization of power in Britain. Then, when little Caesar marries Edward's daughter and jointly rule England, you can pick ready-made peaches... For little Caesar's child, Marin is also working hard...
