Chapter 562: Kill the English nobility?

King Richard III was a master of crime. After killing his two nephews, he cleverly dismantled their bodies in the wall so that no one could find them. After all, in that era, no one expected that Richard III would have such a chicken thief.

So much so that after Henry VII took the throne, various parties were sent to search for the bodies of Edward V and his brother Richard, Duke of York, but he could not find it. Henry VII sent people to dig three feet in the Tower of London, but they couldn't find the bodies of the two. Therefore, in fact, until now, Henry VII has not been able to have enough evidence to prove that Richard III was killed.

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

But there is a problem-he can only be considered a legal king if he proves that he is not a monarch. In other words, he must have sufficient evidence to show that Richard III was the prince. In this way, he is the righteous party to eradicate the princes, and is also the eldest son-in-law of Edward IV, with sufficient qualifications to succeed.

The problem is, people all over England know that Richard III was killed, but where is the body of the killed little king? If you ca n’t find the body, it ’s a headless case ...

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

As long as Marin does not say, no one will know the invention of the genius Richard III. Moreover, even if Henry VII looked for a body, he would not desperately demolish the entire Tower of London. After all, the Tower of London is still the royal palace.

So, this is a knot. As long as Edward V ’s body could not be found, Henry VII could not prove its justice. If it is not possible to prove that Richard III was a monarch killer, then Henry VII was a monarch killer. Even if he married the eldest daughter of Edward IV, it was useless because he was a prince. Moreover, the heir of the York family has not been severed, even if he married Princess Elizabeth, it is not legal. Therefore, Henry VII closed Edward for many years and planned to kill him.

With such conditions, Marin believes that as long as Edward appeals to the Holy See, it will cause great trouble to Henry VII. After all, Henry VII could not prove that Richard III was a prince. Moreover, there are men in the York family.

Therefore, as long as Marin asked his father-in-law Julius II to give such judgment, it was enough to shake the rule of Henry VII-Pope Julius II can judge in this way ... Before finding the body of Edward V It cannot be said that Richard III was killed. Therefore, until the evidence of Richard III ’s killing was found, Richard III was still a legitimate monarch, and Henry VII was also a suspect of the killing of kings. Find evidence ...

Once Henry VII took the title of "Suspect Suicide", then Edward was legally qualified to openly compete with Henry VII for the throne. Then, Marin sent troops to help Edward, which became the act of presiding over justice. Then, the land closure and benefits are not delayed.

The reason why Henry VII was able to gain a lot of support before he succeeded in ascending to the throne was based on the disillusionment of Richard III after he killed the king. Therefore, he was able to reach the throne by relying on thousands of soldiers and horses and relying on the opponent's rebellion.

But the question is, you said Richard III killed, what about the evidence? Without evidence, you are the prince ... What about people's hearts? We admire the law, there is no evidence, your behavior is illegal, unreasonable ...

As for the English aristocracy who used Henry VII to take the throne ... According to the law, it is also a big injustice. Following the killing of the king, such a crime can be light or heavy. When Xinjun needs the support of these nobles, they can naturally pardon their crimes. But if they do not need the support of these nobles, they can also be killed on the charge of "attacking the rebellion and participating in the killing of the king".

Although Europe seldom kills nobles, such great crimes as "attachment of rebellion" and "participation in killing the king" are eligible for execution.

Marin ’s intention was-not only to help Edward capture England, but also to kill all those English nobles ... or, at least, most of them ...

His purpose in doing so was naturally to prevent those local princes from continuing to separatize and influence the monarchy. In the near term, it is to facilitate Edward to quickly grasp the situation in England. At the same time, take the opportunity to recover those nobles' fiefs.

In the long run, it is actually convenient for his son, Caesar, to reduce resistance when he takes over England in the future. Those noble feudal aristocrats who have been inherited in England for hundreds of years are deeply intertwined. As long as they live, the political influence in England is enormous.

In the current parliament, there are no civilians. Therefore, the parliament is full of children of the old nobles. After the "Great Charter", the power of the English aristocracy became stronger and stronger enough to break the wrist with the past. Faced with the unanimous opposition of the nobility, even the king had to succumb.

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

Of course, the consequences of doing so are also very serious. After all, those traditional aristocratic families in England have developed for hundreds of years. Even if the main nobles are killed, the remnants of those noble families must be indispensable. Those who missed the nets of the aristocratic families must also think of revenge. But the object of their revenge must be Edward. Perhaps, Edward will also be assassinated.

Even if Edward evaded those assassinations, if he had the intention of changing the queen, and had the opportunity to give birth to the prince, Marin would kill him. Moreover, you can also blame the remnants of those killed nobles ...

...

Marin insidiously planned all this in the room, but in the end, he gave up the idea of ​​killing the English aristocracy ~ www.wuxiaspot.com ~ because, this is so shocking that it would be intolerable.

Therefore, the best way is actually to kill the large nobles with a large enclosed area, such as the Duke and Earl. As for the baron and the little nobility below the baron, actually ignore it. Unless, some tough opponents have to be killed.

This is because the large England also needs people to manage. In this era, literacy is mainly nobles and priests. The priest can be an official, but not all priests. Therefore, it is better to leave those low-level nobles. In this way, there are enough officials available in the Kingdom of England.

Moreover, after losing the leading nobles, the parliament could hardly compete with the king. At the same time, the royal family can also take advantage of the opportunity to take back the huge area of ​​land covered by the dukes and counts and increase the royal family's property income. You know, the counts of the dukes manage the fiefs of several counties. As long as the duke and the duke of the fief are killed, the land and wealth of the royal family will multiply. Therefore, Marin doesn't believe in Edward's inattentiveness ...

The seizure of the throne this time is similar to the reason for "rebellion", and most of the great nobles have turned to Henry VII. They can take the opportunity to raise the butcher knife, kill all the existing great English nobles, and deprive them of their fiefs. If you switch to something else, there is no excuse for "attachment of rebellion" and "participation in killing the king", and there is no excuse for you to attack the 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 aristocracy, not only can they make a fortune, but Edward can also take the opportunity to implement complete centralization in the UK. Then, when Little Caesar married Edward's daughter and united and co-administered England, he could pick ready-made peaches ... For the child of Little Caesar, Marin also worked hard ...
