Chapter 951: Queen Margaret's Choice
John Stewart's foundation is not clean. After all, the French sent him back to Scotland just to make it a spare tire for James IV.
However, as an authentic grandson of the Stuart dynasty, how could John Stuart be willing to be a spare tire? In the absence of other competitors, as long as James IV died, the throne almost certainly fell on his head. Therefore, it is impossible to say that he has no ideas.
John Stewart had been expecting that England would go crazy and kill James IV, so that he could directly inherit the Scottish throne.
Moreover, in private, John Stewart has been attracting those nobles who were beaten into the cold palace by James IV. The king is a human and must have a preference. As a result, there must be someone who is proud and someone who is frustrated. And John Stewart had privately attracted those Scottish nobles who were frustrated under James IV. Moreover, certain results have been achieved. Although he did not send someone to intercept James IV, it really can't stand the investigation ...
Frankly speaking, John Stewart is hostile to James IV. His father, the Duke of Albany, a generation of the Stuart dynasty, was originally respected in Scotland. However, just because of a spat, he was put in jail by James III's father James III, and there was no family to talk about. Then, because of the defeat against James III, Alexander Stuart, Duke of Albany, had to flee to France with his family and began a life under the fence. Moreover, Alexander died the following year. At that time, the young John Stewart was less than two years old.
Scotland and France have always been allies. Therefore, due to the face of the Scottish royal family, although France took the Duke of Albany, they did not give them enough treatment to avoid unpleasant Scotland.
Therefore, despite being a son of the Duke, John Stewart's childhood and youth did not live well. And the death of his father, he also accounted for James III. But James III is dead, and hatred naturally goes to James IV ...
This time, with the support of French officials, it was obviously an opportunity for John Stewart to return to the country as a spare tire for the king. While James IV was imprisoned in London, John Stewart did a lot of small things. Even, he privately promised a bright future to some nobles who had failed under James IV.
When the Prime Minister Alex checked, these small movements would naturally disappear. Then, John Stewart's suspicion of murdering James IV rose several grades, reaching the level of orange warning.
The problem is that the Prime Minister of Alexis could not find evidence that he sent someone to intercept James IV. According to the description of the surviving guard knights, the opponent sent 50 elite plate armor knights, using war hammers and battle axes to deal with them. The lead one used an iron rod ... At the same time, although the opponent won at the end of the battle, there were definitely a few people who had their arms or legs discounted. After all, although the two-handed swords used by the guard knights are of poor quality, they can be of great weight. They are used to smash people and wear plate armor. They are also easy to be injured.
However, after rigorous investigations, none of the 100 French knights who escorted John Stewart back home were injured. At the same time, no one uses iron bars ...
In this way, the investigation is in trouble. Then, Prime Minister Alex began to investigate the private soldiers of the frustrated nobles who had contact with John Stewart, and only one broken leg was found. But the knight broke his leg off the horseback, when many people saw ...
Therefore, the Prime Minister of Ales and the officials left behind cannot be sure that John Stewart is the murderer of the king ...
...
However, if the English do it, it seems to make no sense. Because, the Gobrich Valley is very close to Edinburgh. In the south of the valley, however, large areas of mountains are extremely difficult to walk.
Moreover, after searching the mountains, the Scottish army found no valuable information. It seems that after the group of murderers entered the mountain, they escaped into several directions? If it is an Englishman, shouldn't he just run south?
This is the specialty of the Beihai State spy. In the real escape direction, the traces of passing by are mostly covered up by the Beihai State spy door. Moreover, at the same time, he was also suspicious in other directions, confusing the Scots.
The Scots apparently did not have Sherlock Holmes and no elementary school student Conan. Therefore, they could not distinguish the cover-up methods of the North Sea spies, and naturally they could not find out.
As a result, it seems that the English people came to Edinburgh and killed James IV. Then, everyone continued to investigate the unlucky John Stewart ... The imprisoned John Stewart was full of depression, and his heart was suffering ... You know, if you are judged to kill the king, let alone inherit the throne, his life is estimated to be all Not guaranteed ...
...
At this time, as much as John Stewart suffered, there was the widow of James IV, the former Princess of England Margaret.
Her husband's death made her feel endless sadness. But after calming down, there is fear ...
In Scotland, most of the soldiers and horses were captured by the English because of James IV's rashness. They are still held in England. In other words, the Kingdom of Scotland now has only a few thousand infantry available. If the English army came to kill ...
Queen Margaret could not imagine the consequences of being caught by Edward. You know, Edward killed her parents and siblings in a gesture of utter extermination. Even, she heard that Edward had asked James IV to give her to England in order to offset part of the ransom ... Obviously, Edward wanted her to die ...
Once England has overtaken Scotland, she will live alive even if she lives at www.wuxiaspot.com. Those Scottish nobles may have survived by surrendering. And she, it seems difficult to live ...
...
"Maybe, should I flee to France?" Queen Margaret thought.
France is a dead enemy of England. If he flees to France, he will definitely be blessed by the French royal family and his life will be safe. However, the taste under the fence seems uncomfortable. Not to mention, John Stewart, the quasi-Duke of Albany, seemed to live a very ordinary life in France. Although it is safe and worry-free, the quality of life ... As for the rich or something, don't even think about it ...
In short, living in another country is by no means a good choice. Generally speaking, people who have nowhere to go will make this choice. But no other way would want such a life.
"However, if I don't live in exile in France, what options do I have?" Queen Margaret was very distressed.
"It would be great if the Kingdom of Scotland stabilized and resisted the invasion of the English ..." Queen Margaret thought.
"But if you want the Kingdom of Scotland to stabilize as quickly as possible, you need a king. Only by rebuilding the new king can Scotland settle down quickly. And the settled Scotland has the hope of resisting the invasion of the English ..."
Thinking of this, Queen Margaret shook her head. Because, John Stewart, the most promising king of Scotland, is still in prison. It seems difficult to stabilize Scotland. And she seems to be the only way to go to France in exile.
"No, I have other options!" Queen Margaret suddenly thought of a solution ...
The more she thinks, the more she feels that she has gotten involved. Then, after thinking for a while, she sorted out the dress and put on the crown of the queen, and she walked firmly to the office of Prime Minister Alex in the front yard of the palace ...
