- Why did Mary do this?
Yes, why.
This is a question that Zhao Hongyu is curious about, and he is a little confused.
Although Zhao Hongyu is not very clear about this, the old lady is different.
She understands this better.
For this reason, she explained to Zhao Hongyu: "Based on what you said about the situation at the time, I am 80% sure that Mary meant this. The reason is very simple. Although the Grand Duke of Orleans supported her, as his ambitions expanded, the Grand Duke of Orleans no longer Satisfied with his current status, he wants to take a step closer."
Go one step further!
Doesn¡¯t that mean you want to be a king?
Zhao Hongyu looked at the old lady in disbelief.
"Don't look at me like that. There is no limit to human greed. You should know this very well. And there are already signs of this. There are rumors outside that that good-for-nothing Gaston is the illegitimate son of the Duke and Marie. What do you mean? That¡¯s where the rumors originated.¡±
The old lady gave Zhao Hongyu a very meaningful look.
There are even such rumors, it seems that this matter is really unusual.
"The Grand Duke of Orleans is very powerful. The territory under his name is as large as one-third of France. Do you think he is a threat to Mary? Besides, in addition to the territory he controls, he also has a group of followers. , the combined territory of these small and medium-sized nobles also accounts for one-third, so they indirectly control two-thirds of the land in France, so they are not weak in power."
The old lady told Zhao Hongyu these things that he didn't know.
It seems that no matter what era or country. This kind of struggle for power and profit is always inevitable. I was lucky enough to encounter it.
"Then the Duke of Orleans, why didn't he deal with Mary as soon as possible? If his power is really as powerful as you said, it shouldn't be very difficult to deal with Mary."
Zhao Hongyu asked a question that was a little confusing in his heart.
Yes, if it were me, I would have killed Mary long ago.
How could we wait until now?
This is completely unnecessary.
This is like taking off your pants and farting.
The old lady shook her head: "Things are not that simple. If the Duke of Orleans uses force to solve this problem, it will cause a lot of trouble. The church and other nobles will stand up against him. Although he is very powerful, But it will also cause a lot of trouble.¡±
The old lady told Zhao Hongyu the key.
"That's why he has been patient. He wants to use a legal opportunity to ascend the throne of France. Mary also knows this, and neither party has spoken out."
Zhao Hongyu curled his lips, didn¡¯t he have to erect an archway after becoming a prostitute?
The thinking of foreigners is really different from that of the East.
¡°If this matter were left to China, a guy with such strength would have stood up to overthrow the imperial court, so we would still have to wait.
Waiting is something you would only do when you are still weak. Who would be such an idiot when you have an advantage?
The church is nothing, just spend some money to buy it off.
As for other nobles, if they are not convinced, they will be beaten until they are convinced, or they will be beaten directly and their homes will be confiscated.
In Zhao Hongyu¡¯s eyes, this is the normal way.
It¡¯s just that he doesn¡¯t understand that the thinking of Europeans and the thinking of Chinese people are completely different.
¡°And if the Duke of Orleans really wants to do this, the royal families of the surrounding countries will also attack him in groups.
By then everyone will find a good excuse to take advantage of the unrest in France.
It was precisely because of the troubles it would cause that the Duke did not act in concert and endured until now.
Many things are not as simple as Zhao Hongyu imagined.
"It's really troublesome. I think the Duke of Orleans's patience is completely unnecessary, especially when he has the advantage. But after all, I am not French and I am not very familiar with the concepts of this continent, so I can't say anything. But this time, how can Mary and the Duke of Orleans break up?"
Zhao Hongyu said to the old lady.
"It's very simple. The duel gave Mary a reasonable opportunity to deal with the Duke of Orleans. Originally, assassination and poison were also good solutions, but this time they brought great hidden dangers." The old lady explained to Zhao Hongyu patiently. . Because Zhao Hongyu is Sara¡¯s husband, and these women will go to the American continent to live with Sara in the future, and Sara willBecame their support.
It can be said that helping Zhao Hongyu is helping Sarah. If Sarah¡¯s status is improved, it will be of great benefit to widows like them, right?
What¡¯s more, the old lady knows that only useful people in this world can have a better life.
That¡¯s why she was so patient in explaining these things to Zhao Hongyu.
What he did was also let Zhao Hongyu know that these women are also very useful.
Of course, Emma has the support of the Mohicans and the Indians who have integrated into the empire, which Sara cannot compare to.
¡°But these women, especially themselves, have rich political experience, which the Indians do not have.
So, what she has to do now is to consolidate Sarah¡¯s status. If possible, when Sarah has a child in the future, she can help that child gain a higher status.
Such selfishness is normal, isn't it?
"You can't say it's wrong for the old lady to think so.
People will have selfish motives, and saints only appear in stories or legends.
You know, Lei Feng also keeps a diary when he does good deeds, right?
It¡¯s just that Zhao Hongyu didn¡¯t know about the old lady¡¯s thoughts.
This time, because the matter was urgent, the old lady could only come to explain it to Zhao Hongyu in person. When she went to the Song Empire in America in the future, the old lady would not show up.
When that time comes, what she has to do is teach Sara how to deal with the ¡®battles¡¯ in the palace and play the role of a strategist behind the scenes.
Other women will look to see if there is a chance to choose a reliable and powerful partner.
Only in this way can Sarah ¡®compete¡¯ with Emma.
After all, they will all have children in the future. Although everyone has a good relationship now, no one can guarantee the future.
The old lady has a very far-sighted view. This is a problem that neither Sarah nor Emma have thought about.
Sarah now has a good relationship with Emma, ??and she also regards Emma as a ***.
Emma also sees Sarah as a big sister.
But the old lady is different. After all, she has lived for more than sixty years and has seen too many things.
"I think assassination and poisoning are good ways to deal with the Duke of Orleans. Why are there hidden dangers?" Zhao Hongyu really doesn't understand the political situation in Europe. The old lady explained: "If we use this method to deal with the Duke of Orleans, then many nobles will jump out and use this as an excuse to cause trouble with the royal family. What will Mary do at that time? You must know that she can stabilize the situation now, It all depends on the Duke¡¯s support.¡±
The old lady told the reason.
"Mary has always had many opponents. Without the support of the Duke, her life would not have been so easy. The royal family's control is not strong, which has always been a headache for her. She cannot give to those who have bad intentions. It is a very unwise choice to give an excuse to someone who is unpredictable."
Zhao Hongyu nodded silently.
Fortunately, such a situation did not occur in our Song Empire, otherwise it would be really troublesome.
"As long as you kill the Duke in the duel, Mary will blame the Duke's death on you. Although the duel is fair, there is no guarantee that the Duke's die-hard followers will not come to trouble you. But after the Duke dies, , Mary can take the opportunity to quickly integrate the territory left by the Duke and strengthen her control."
The old lady continued her in-depth analysis.
"It is estimated that when everything is over, Mary may completely take the duke's territory into her hands. At the same time, the territories of the small and medium-sized nobles who follow the duke will also be like this. After all, Gaston has been abolished, and a eunuch will become the duke. After death, it¡¯s impossible to become a new flag, right?¡±
Zhao Hongyu nodded, completely understanding.
It turns out that Gaston became a useless person and actually gave Marie a chance.
¡°And he became the knife in Mary¡¯s hand, the knife used to kill the Duke.
After the old lady¡¯s analysis, how could Zhao Hongyu still not understand?
He felt a little uncomfortable, it felt really uncomfortable to be taken advantage of.
But even though he knew he was being taken advantage of, Zhao Hongyu couldn't refuse.
It¡¯s very simple, the Grand Duke of Orleans must die.
Who let his unsatisfactory son come to brush off Zhao Hongyu's rebellion?
¡° Emma is his wife, but Zhao Hongyu can¡¯t stand it when he even thinks about Emma¡¯s ideas.
"Thank you for your analysis, I decided to talk to Mary."?Maybe I should give her a hand. I'll get some benefits at the same time, otherwise I'll suffer a big loss. "
The old lady looked at Zhao Hongyu in disbelief. She didn't expect that Zhao Hongyu actually wanted to talk to Mary.
But the old lady was relieved immediately.
¡°Yes, we already know Mary¡¯s plan anyway. In that case, why not talk to her and see if we can get some benefits.
The reason is simple, a duel is imperative.
Since this is the case, then it might be a good idea to use Mary¡¯s thoughts to get some benefits.
Zhao Hongyu responded so quickly that the old lady nodded happily.
¡°A very smart young man, it seems Sarah has found a good husband.
"Be careful with the Duke of Orleans. I think he is also planning something, but I can't guess his plan. I don't know if this duel is an opportunity for him. After all, he is the duelist."
The old lady reminded Zhao Hongyu.
Zhao Hongyu nodded heavily and took her words to heart, preparing to ask Wang Shan to send someone to keep an eye on the Duke of Orleans.
After explaining to Zhao Hongyu, the old lady said goodbye and left.
Zhao Hongyu called Wang Shan in and said to him: "Send someone to keep an eye on the Duke of Orleans. I want to know if he has any trouble or even goes to the toilet."
Wang Shan responded and then took the order and left.
Zhao Hongyu stood up, left the living room and walked up the stairs to Emma and Sara's room.
"Papa, you have to remember that you are not as strong as that guy. After all, your opponent is a man. So you try to use your dexterity to deal with him. I think your speed should be very fast, right?"
When Zhao Hongyu walked into the room, he happened to see Emma training Papa.
"If you ask me, put some poison on the sword, the kind that sees a blood feudal prince. Just scratch a little bit of skin, and the Grand Duke of Orleans will be reimbursed. But Emma is right, you and him can't fight head-on, because your I don¡¯t have enough strength.¡±
At that moment, Zhao Hongyu spoke, and then walked straight over.
"It is not good to use poison. This is a fair duel, and it is related to the dignity of us Mohicans. Therefore, Papa must use fair and just means to kill her opponent. This is not hunting in America, so what is the use of poison? .¡±
After Emma heard Zhao Hongyu¡¯s voice, she turned back and rolled her eyes at him to reject his proposal.
Zhao Hongyu could only shrug his shoulders helplessly.
"In fact, you can consider my proposal. Anyway, you just need to kill the opponent, right? As for what method to use, in my opinion, you can ignore it completely. If possible, I even want to give him some help before the duel. The Duke has poisoned you."
Zhao Hongyu came to Emma and expressed his thoughts to her very seriously.
"Don't do this, otherwise it would be an insult to me. Although I know you do this for my own good, I really beg you not to do this."
Emma hugged Zhao Hongyu and said to him seriously again and again.
Not only Emma said this, but even her maid Papa looked at Zhao Hongyu seriously and said: "Your Highness, if you are doing it for my own good, then please believe me. I don't need to use this special method, either. If you can win a duel, you have to have confidence in me. After all, this is a duel, if it was an assassination, I would not say that."
"Okay, okay, I surrender, I promise I won't do this, okay." Zhao Hongyu made a helpless expression and made a promise to Emma and Papa.
After getting Zhao Hongyu¡¯s guarantee, Emma and Papa let him go.
It¡¯s so stubborn, what¡¯s so important about means.
If it were placed in China, the only way to destroy the enemy is to use all means.
Zhao Hongyu, who came from a later generation, really couldn¡¯t stand this kind of thing.
But how could he remain indifferent to Emma's request?
So, he could only agree.
"But a verbal promise is a promise, Zhao Hongyu still added: "If the other party uses dirty methods first, then I can't guarantee it."
Hearing this, Emma and Papa looked at him together.
In the end, it was Emma who spoke to Zhao Hongyu: "Yes, if that old man used bad means to break the rules of the duel first, I will not stop you. Such people should be punished, because To us Mohicans, a public duel is very sacred."
With AIWith these words, Zhao Hongyu was relieved.
Because he believed that the Duke of Orleans was definitely not a good guy.
What he has to do now is wait for the other party to break the rules, and then take action. (To be continued.
