The Rise of the European Emperor

Chapter 363 The question of the choice of Catherine's husband

To get there, Marin developed a detailed plan. First, he wanted to let the French know about the miserable life of Princess Catherine of Spain in London. Then, it is necessary to let the French know that if the matter is not made public, the king and his wife, whose interests are paramount, may choose to turn a blind eye.

That is to say, if the tragic experience of Princess Catherine is not publicly known to the Spanish people, this matter will not be a problem, and it will not destroy the alliance between England and Spain.

So, to break up the relationship between England and Spain, you need to send someone to Spain to spread the word about Princess Catherine's tragic experience of being imprisoned and beaten in London.

In addition, the deeds of the current crown prince of England who poisoned his brother Arthur at the age of 11 also need to be well publicized. In this way, the Spanish people will not only sympathize with what happened to Princess Catherine, but also hate Henry VIII, a little bitch. With such a sinister and vicious little child, Princess Catherine definitely jumped into the fire pit...

As long as the public opinion in Spain is one-sided, the Spanish king and his wife will have to consider taking back Princess Catherine. Moreover, according to the "Bible", the younger brother will be cursed for marrying his sister-in-law.

Under the combination of the three aspects, the probability of Princess Catherine being taken back to Spain is extremely high. Even if the Spanish king and his wife are not happy, they have to ask the Spanish subjects whether they agree or not.

As for which Frenchman to do this? Marin had already planned it - or Earl Duarte...

Earl Duarte is eager to become a powerful earl with counties. Therefore, this person has a strong desire to make meritorious deeds. In order to achieve meritorious service, he did not hesitate to give his daughter the contraceptive pill. Therefore, such a credit was given to him, but he would not accept it if he did not believe it. You know, destroying the alliance between Spain and England is definitely a great achievement...

In this way, Malin happily decided the process and candidates for the operation of this matter...

However, after Marin fixed this matter, Julius II found him again, frowned, and asked a question that made Marin very worried:

"Marin, after you bring Catherine of Aragon back home, who will Princess Catherine marry in the future? Have you made up your mind about the candidate?"

"Who does Princess Catherine marry? What does this have to do with me?" Marin was a little confused.

"Idiot, think again. After Princess Catherine returns to China, who will Spain choose to marry Princess Catherine?" Julius II said angrily.

"Who will Princess Catherine marry when she returns home? I think...it must be the right monarch or prince - well, it's impossible for England, there is only one prince in England..."

"Neither can the kingdom of Scotland,

James IV has a queen..."

"The Kingdom of Bohemia and the Kingdom of Hungary are also impossible. Wladyslav II has married a third wife..."

"It is impossible for the Kingdom of Portugal...and neither for Poland nor Lithuania. Grand Duke Alexander has not divorced Helena in Moscow, although they have separated..."

"Kingdom of Denmark...Prince Christian - I'm stunned!" Marin jumped up with excitement...

"Do you know the problem?" asked Julius II.

Marin immediately nodded wildly, this is too serious. If Denmark and Spain are married, and Marin wants to destroy the Kingdom of Denmark, it will be a big problem, and maybe they will become enemies with Spain.

So, Marin immediately got a head start on this matter.

However, if Princess Catherine returns to China, the most likely person to marry is Prince Christian, Crown Prince of Denmark. Because, Princess Catherine of Aragon married the past and will become queen in the future. Moreover, Denmark is also a strong country. Although it was devastated by the four-nation coalition, it is still a strong country. At least, people have two crowns on their heads - the Danish throne and the Norwegian throne...

When Princess Catherine married, it was two crowns - the Queen of Denmark and the Queen of Norway...

Coincidentally, as the Crown Prince of Denmark, Prince Christian has neither a princess nor a marriage contract. No matter how you look at it, Catherine's marriage to Prince Christian is the most suitable. Moreover, Denmark, which is currently abject, will certainly be happy to marry a powerful country like Spain to gain more support against the Hanseatic League and Marin's East Frisian.

...

After thinking about this, Marin was extremely conflicted. Even, he wanted to give up the plan to interfere in the marriage of Henry VIII and Catherine.

After all, it was Marin's long-standing plan to destroy Denmark. At least, they have to grab Denmark's Jutland peninsula. However, if Princess Catherine married Prince Christian, then Spain would be Denmark's ally. To beat Denmark by yourself is to offend Spain...

At that time, the ships that they sent to the Americas and the Caribbean Sea (which need to pass through the Canary Islands) may be attacked by Spain. The land rich in phosphate rock in Ayoun may also be "reclaimed" by Spain. At that time, I will definitely not have good fruit to eat...

However, Marin did not have the ability to influence the decisions of the Spanish royal family, nor did it affect the ability of the Danish royal family...

"No, there seems to be a way to affect Denmark..."

Malin's eyes flashed fiercely:

"What if Prince Christian was assassinated..."

Julius II listened and shook his head again and again:

"No, no, assassinate the crown prince of a big country. If the news is revealed, you will be spurned by nobles all over Europe, and you will even be beaten by the crowd..."

"What if, I put the blame on the Swedes or Duke Frederick, Hans' brother?"

"Are you sure you can do it?"

"Yes, I'll go back to train dead soldiers now, the kind of dead soldiers who kill themselves after killing their targets... Moreover, I will choose Swedish teenagers who have hatred with the Danes... Before Denmark invaded Sweden, it caused many Swedish orphans. , just right, they can be trained to assassinate Prince Christian..."

"Well, assassinating the nobles is not appropriate after all. Well, you can do it, but you must not reveal your identity. Afterwards, it is best to silence..."

"Oh, I almost forgot, Giuliano, do you still have 'Cantrella' there?" Marin suddenly remembered a more "civilized" assassination method, which was more harmonious and ruthless than sending dead soldiers. ...

"There are two more... You want to poison Prince Christian with Cantrella? No way..."

"What's wrong? This kind of chronic poison is just right to poison Prince Christian." After the poison is finished, the poisoner will have plenty of time to escape.

"Are you stupid? If Prince Christian dies in Cantrera, and Caesar Borgia, the remnant of the Borgia family, does not have the poison of Cantrella, it does not mean that people outside the Borgia family, Is there Cantrella too? In this way, everyone will doubt the cause of Alexander VI's death."

"This is also..." He wanted to kill Prince Christian, but he couldn't drag the Pope's father-in-law into the water.

"How about I send someone to buy it from Caesar Borgia? Send a real Swedish to buy it, and then silence it. When the time comes, all the blame will go to the Swedes..."

"That's a good idea...but you have to remember that when you send Swedes to buy it, do it semi-publicly...meaning, 'accidentally' let the outside world know that there are Swedes visiting Caesar Borgia... …”

"Understood. Afterwards, Prince Christian was poisoned by Cantrella, and everyone would think of the Swedes' visit to Caesar Borgia. Then, the Swedes took the blame for nothing... hey-hey……"

"There is another advantage in this matter - once it is confirmed that Prince Christian died in Cantrella, then Caesar Borgia will be hated by the Danish royal family, and even by the entire European aristocracy. At that time, you will send someone Go and kill Caesar Borgia, maybe others will think it was the Danish royal family..."

"Father-in-law is brilliant!" Marin patted Julius II's ass. Then, two foxes, one old and one small, smirked proudly... But, under this smile, the room was full of gloomy aura...
