After she and Louis XIII left, Louis XIII asked in confusion. (None., pop-up window
Mary killed her son, and then explained to him: "Why don't you support it? It's impossible for him not to be angry when the son of the Grand Duke of Orleans was injured like that. So he always has to vent his emotions, and the duel It¡¯s just the best way.¡±
"Similarly, the American crown princes also need to vent their anger in order to calm down the anger in their hearts. So who is a better candidate than Gaston's father? No matter which of them survives in the end, this matter doesn't matter. It¡¯s a matter of course. Of course, the best result is that the Grand Duke of Orleans dies.¡±
Louis XIII said to his mother: "If the Grand Duke of Orleans is killed in a duel, what will happen to the huge Dukedom of Orleans? Will Gaston, a loser, inherit it?"
Although Louis XIII guessed his mother¡¯s plan, he decided to continue to act stupid.
Rise of America 1620
Because he knew that his mother didn¡¯t like him being too smart, because that would threaten her status.
Very strange logic, the mother would feel threatened by her son.
But think about it, isn¡¯t it normal for family affection to be indifferent in the face of the temptation of power?
"Don't worry about it on the European continent. Even in the Chinese country on the Eastern continent, aren't there examples of fathers and sons, muzi, brothers, and fathers killing each other for power?
And Mary is a woman with a strong sense of power. She is used to looking down on all living beings from a high position. As a regent, this makes her feel extremely satisfied.
But Louis XIII, her son, was a threat to her power.
After all, Louis XIII was a crown prince, the true heir of France.
"If Louis XIII took over the throne, nothing would happen to her without Marie.
This is something she is not willing to endure.
¡°This person, once he knows what power feels like, it¡¯s hard to let go.
That¡¯s the way Mary is.
Therefore, Louis XIII did not appear to be smart, so he could continue to be regent.
If he acts too smart, then some nobles with ulterior motives will clamor for Louis XIII to take charge.
As for what will happen to Mary after Louis XIII takes over, no one will think about it, right?
But Mary knew that if her son took charge, she would never taste the taste of power again.
The feeling of having the power of life and death in your hands is so intoxicating that you can¡¯t extricate yourself.
Think about it, the life and death of others are all determined by your own thoughts. At that time, you can think that you are almost a god.
This is what it feels like to be so obsessed that you voluntarily reveal your soul.
Once contaminated, there is no way to get out.
Rise of America 1620
"My child, don't you think that the Grand Duke of Orleans' territory is a bit too big? It's so big that our royal family can no longer control it. Why should I flatter him and flatter him? Isn't it just to stabilize him?", Mary It was rare for her to express her true feelings to Louis XIII, her true feelings for so many years.
Yes, although her relationship with the Grand Duke of Orleans is well known, who knows the pain in her heart.
Does she really like the Grand Duke of Orleans?
At least Mary herself doesn¡¯t think so.
Mary also deliberately did that romantic relationship.
The purpose at that time was to gain the support of the Grand Duke of Orleans and stabilize the status of the royal family.
After the death of Louis XIII's father, some nobles united to put pressure on him and wanted to depose Louis XIII and change Louis XIII's cousin to be the king of France.
This was very dangerous for Marie and Louis XIII at the time.
¡°If the Crown Prince Louis XIII is raped, the fate of their mother and son will definitely not be easy.
Being in a dark and damp dungeon without seeing the light of day for the rest of your life is almost the best outcome.
Therefore, in order to stabilize her position, Mary 'accidentally' met the Grand Duke of Orleans and then With his support, Mary defeated the nobles and retained Louis XIII's status as crown prince.
And the guy who was elected by the nobles had his whole family executed secretly.
At the same time, those nobles who opposed Mary also had their homes confiscated and exiled.
The Duke of Orleans seized the territories and wealth of those nobles, and his power grew a lot again.
At that time, Mary obtained Orl in order to stabilize her position.With the support of the Duke, there is no need to worry so much.
¡°But when we look back, the power of the Duke of Orleans is no longer something that Mary can contend with.
Fortunately, the Duke of Orleans was very obsessed with Mary, so Mary took advantage of this and maintained the royal family to this day.
But as time went by, ambitions grew.
The Duke of Orleans also began to peek at the king's throne.
There were rumors outside that Gaston was his illegitimate son. After Mary heard about it, she thought about it and realized what was going on.
So it was impossible for her not to be angry.
But she could only pretend to be stupid, making the Duke of Orleans think that it was still the same as before between him and her.
Rise of America 1620
But now there is a good opportunity in front of her to deal with the Duke of Orleans and claim his territory as her own. With such an opportunity, how could Mary let it go.
¡°If the Duke of Orleans died in the duel, it was the work of an American and had nothing to do with Mary, right? If anyone wanted revenge, it would be better to seek revenge from the Americans.
Anyway, this matter has nothing to do with Mary.
Mary, who was worrying about how to deal with the Duke of Orleans, suddenly found that someone came to her door to help her deal with the Duke of Orleans. It was impossible for her to be unhappy.
¡°And this matter can keep her out of it.
Since there is such a good thing, why wouldn't she do it?
¡°Oh, it turns out that mother wants to take this opportunity to seize the territory of the Grand Duke of Orleans.¡± Louis XIII pretended to be suddenly enlightened and looked at his mother with admiration.
"The annoying Grand Duke of Orleans and his idiot son, I have long disliked them. If the Grand Duke of Orleans dies in the duel, what will Gaston 20 do?", Louis XIII.
Mary curled her lips and said to Louis XIII: "How useful can a waste that becomes an eunuch be? This guy is useless without his father. But I will not kill him. I will destroy the relationship between the two countries." In order to deprive him of his noble status and turn him into a pauper, those enemies who have been harmed by him would be very willing to end up in this situation, wouldn't they."
Louis XIII nodded when he heard this.
"Yes, by then, without Mother's orders, Gaston's idiot's former enemies will find him. I think those people are willing to deal with this guy personally."
At this point, Louis XIII paused for a moment and then continued: "But mother, all this we are doing has a premise, that is, it can only be realized if the Duke of Orleans is killed in a duel, so how do we How can we ensure that the Duke of Orleans will definitely die in the duel?"
Louis XIII got the point right.
Yes, Mary has many things to consider, but there is a premise for all of this.
That means the Grand Duke of Orleans must be established and die in a duel.
Only in this way can Mary implement these things she told Louis XIII one by one.
If the Grand Duke of Orleans survives the duel, then all that Mary said to Louis XIII will be in vain.
"Of course I have a way. In fact, letting the Duke of Orleans die is very simple. Poison, assassination, anything can be done. The reason why I didn't take action is because I have to consider how to deal with the pile after the Duke of Orleans dies. Troublesome."
Marie was serious about Louis XIII.
"The Grand Duke of Orleans has a lot of support behind him. If he is poisoned or assassinated, those people will definitely make trouble and even think that we are responsible. Then they will have an excuse to make trouble together. This is the last thing I want to think about. Yes, because with our current strength, we are still unable to deal with these nobles."
Mary came up with the problem she was thinking about.
Yes, this problem was indeed solved by Louis XIII¡¯s mother in history, but the timeline has to be pushed back many years.
However, she still left a tail for Louis XIII, that is Gaston II.
This Gaston II, after Louis XIII became king, did not cause less trouble for him.
But now, because of the appearance of Zhao Hongyu and the others, things have begun to go awry.
"I have passed. Now as long as Orleans dies in the hands of the Americans, then we can escape. And we will take this opportunity to kill all Orleans' followers and control all the territories of Orleans and those nobles. In the hands of the royal family. I predict that the land we can control in the future will occupy the legal?More than two-thirds of the entire country, by that time we will no longer have any opponents. "
Louis XIII¡¯s breathing became a little rapid.
Of course he understood what his mother meant.
He also knew very well what this meant to him.
If everything his mother planned succeeds, then after he becomes the king of France, he can smoothly implement his policies without worrying about the reactions of other nobles.
"Then, mother, let's try our best to ensure that the Americans will defeat the Grand Duke of Orleans." Louis XIII said to Mary with a heart full of passion.
At this time, the Grand Duke of Orleans was looking at Gaston II who was in a coma, and fell into endless grief.
¡°He had no idea that Mary was making up her own mind.
