The Rise of the European Emperor

What is Marlin going to do? Naturally, it was Lord Margaret, the sister of Edward's death...

This woman is too agile and scheming. If she was still there after Edward successfully seized the throne, Marin could not guarantee that he would successfully take over England.

You know, Marlin's strategy is to use the marriage of little Caesar and little Princess Margaret to unite the kingdom of England. However, if the Princess Margaret was there, then maybe it was. This woman, maybe she'll get in the way. After all, she is Edward's sister, an absolute local snake. If she opposes the union, this will be difficult to handle. For example, Edward III, according to his bloodline, should have become the king of France. However, the French aristocrats were unwilling to let the King of England become the King of France at the same time, so they united against Edward III and supported Philip VI, a side branch of the royal family, to become the King of France, triggering the century-long "Hundred Years War between England and France". Therefore, this "stumbling block" must be removed by Marin...

However, Marin couldn't kill her himself. After all, that was Edward's own sister. If you do it yourself, you will inevitably turn against Edward. At that time, the marriage between little Caesar and little Princess Margaret will cease to exist, and the union will become a luxury. Therefore, Marin chose to borrow Henry VII's knife to kill Princess Margaret.

For this, Marin has been preparing for a long time...

According to the agreement of Marin and Margaret, the North Sea Chamber of Commerce and Margaret's people will open the city gates in the middle of the night in both directions. Among them, the Lord Margaret was responsible for sending someone to open the East Gate. The Beihai Chamber of Commerce was responsible for opening the West Gate. Of course, in order to facilitate future activities, the people of the Beihai Chamber of Commerce deliberately said that they were understaffed, hid most of their manpower, and borrowed a group of people from the Lord Margaret to capture the West City Gate together. For this reason, the Beihai Chamber of Commerce specially bought a small yard near the West Gate of London City early, and began to dig a large basement early to hide more than 100 horses and weapons and armor.

Similarly, the Princess Margaret, who was in charge of the East Gate, followed suit, bought a small courtyard near the East Gate, and quietly dug a huge basement, also hiding more than a hundred horses.

However, in order to pit Princess Margaret, Marin and the two parties agreed to open the gate at a different time...

It was agreed with Princess Margaret that the east gate would be opened in the middle of the night on the second day after the army besieged the city. And the order issued to the Beihai Chamber of Commerce was in the middle of the night on the third day after the army besieged the city...

As for why there was a day off, it was naturally that the Princess Margaret was exposed in advance. Of course, in order to confuse those who borrowed from Margaret County Lord, in the middle of the next day, this group of people near the west gate will also be dispatched once. However, the head of the North Sea Chamber of Commerce will deliberately dawdle. When the city is in a hurry to capture Margaret County Lord's East Gate troops, he will deliberately shrink back. Then, wait until the next day to start again...

On the first day of the army's arrival, Marin's army was busy building the camp.

He ignored the nervous enemy army above the city. Because there were 30,000 strong people, Marin's 20,000 soldiers did not help build the camp, but guarded the enemy in London.

The first day was peaceful. The next morning, Marin ordered the artillery to be taken out, and 50 infantry guns were used to bombard the North Gate of London indiscriminately, so frightened that Henry VII sent people to block it. The city gate hole at the north gate was blocked with bricks. In this way, even if the north gate is damaged by artillery, it will be fine.

But on the afternoon of the second day, someone suddenly came to the palace and claimed to be a whistleblower...

This person's name is Weber, he is the shopkeeper of a grain store under the Lord Margaret, and one of the important members of the information network of the Lord Margaret. And the information he brought was also very shocking - someone wanted to cooperate with the enemy and open the Dongcheng Gate...

Henry VII was immediately angry, and ordered Weber to be brought into the palace, and he asked:

"Who is it, who wants to open the east gate to welcome the rebels into the city?"

Weber looked around in fear and said:

"It's the master of the villain - Margaret, Countess of Salisbury..."

"Crack—" Richard Bolton, who was on the sidelines, was shocked that the precious blue and white porcelain water cup in his hand fell to the ground and shattered...

"Do you know what you're talking about? Framing a great noble is a capital crime!" Richard Pohl said solemnly. Although the Princess Margaret was not from Henry VII's faction, she was now his wife after all. If the wife has "rebellious" behavior, she will also be implicated.

Webb looked at Richard Pohl and seemed terrified. And Henry VII suppressed the anger in his heart and said mildly:

"Tell me what you know, there must be evidence."

"The villain... the villain has evidence..."

"What evidence?"

"At midnight tonight, the subordinates of Princess Margaret will force a sneak attack from the inside of the east gate, open the east gate, and let the enemy enter the city..."

"What? Say it again?" Henry VII stood up in shock.

Weber seemed to be frightened by Henry VII's reaction, but he still bit the bullet and said:

"The villain has absolutely no lies, whether it is true or not, we will see it tonight!"

After a pause, Weber said again:

"In addition, according to what the villain knows, the rebellious Edward was replaced by the Countess of Salisbury with a terminally ill teenager who looks very similar to her..."

This is definitely a super tip, Henry VII never understood how Edward got away. Now, the truth is completely revealed...

"Bastard! It turns out that this bitch did it!" Henry VII smashed a whole set of oriental china in a fit of anger, obviously furious to the extreme.

You know, after Edward escaped from the Tower of London, with the support of the French and Marin, he posed a great threat to Henry VII. Now, the other party has destroyed the regular army of the Kingdom of England and directly surrounded the city of London. If this time is defeated, Henry VII may be wiped out. Therefore, the man who rescued Edward from the Tower of London was absolutely hated by Henry VII...

Richard Pohl was too frightened to breathe at this time, but out of luck, he still asked:

"How did she get Edward out?"

Weber replied:

"The Countess of Salisbury first seduced the Auxiliary Bishop of Frith with her color, and then used the Auxiliary Bishop of Frith to enter the Tower of London to pray for Edward, and brought in Bert, a country boy who looked exactly like Edward. Then, taking this opportunity, Bert and Edward exchanged clothes, and finally took Edward out of the Tower of London... Afterwards, Countess Margaret immediately sent someone to kill the auxiliary bishop of Frith to silence..." In fact, This answer is seven points true and three points false. Most of it is true, only Weber made changes on how to use the Friesian auxiliary bishop. Of course, this is Marin's order...

That's right, Webb is from Marin. But after the Lord Margaret began to secretly form his own forces, Marin arranged Weber to be under the Lord of Margaret and became his right-hand man. Of course, Princess Margaret didn't know it herself.

Originally, Webb's mission was to help Marlin monitor Princess Margaret. But now, Marin directly asked him to stand up to testify against the Lord Margaret...

After hearing Weber's confession, Henry VII and Richard Pohl were very angry. Henry VII's anger was because the Lord Margaret rescued his worst enemy Edward, which led to this series of unfortunate incidents. And Richard Pohl was angry because he had green on his head-didn't he hear Weber say that Margaret County Lord deliberately seduced the other party in order to use the auxiliary bishop of Frith? What to do after seduction? Naturally, it's a little green on Sir Richard Pole's head... For a medieval knight who values ​​honor very much, this is too embarrassing...
