"This person is not important anyway - the Queen Mother Elizabeth behaves in a Greek style." Li Xuanying told a story and commented: "Soon, she planned a conspiracy to assassinate King Charles and support her daughter Maria again. Restoration of the King.”
"But unfortunately, the Queen Mother's party has little fighting power. Even though the king is dead, the royal party still defeated her in the chaos. Sigismund disappeared long ago, and the Queen Mother and her daughter were arrested and faced trial and Danger of Execution.”
"It seems that Bosnia has also become Hellenized." Zhu Wenkui judged.
"Yes. In the final analysis, being unable to defeat is the most fundamental problem." Li Xuanying agreed.
"When the Poles saw that Maria's little court was about to end, they took advantage of the opportunity to get rid of her and supported her sister Jadwiga. Sigismund was still gathering troops to prepare for a counterattack, and he would not be able to come for a while. ; The Venetians were robbed of coastal Dalmatia by Hungary before, and are preparing to retaliate. As a result, no other surrounding forces can help for the time being. When the rear party was desperate, some people came to us for help. "
"This situation was noticed by Basil III, the Great Khan who had just taken office at the time. He decided to seize this opportunity to attack his old enemy Hungary. In particular, he could not let the marriage succeed and create a stronger enemy."
"That's it." Zhu Wenkui nodded: "This can explain it."
"The reason is clear, but it still feels weird." Zhu Rongna complained.
"Actually, you shouldn't take this matter too seriously." Li Xuanying explained: "Isn't the matter of marriage robbery rare in Europe? I don't think so."
"It is not uncommon for a widowed noblewoman who has lost the protection of her husband to be forcibly taken away by other lords to get married and take the opportunity to annex the territory. It is not news to snatch virgins from other people's families to get married - and this matter It may not have anything to do with gender, it’s just about the jungle. If the noble lady is strong, there will also be those who snatch the boys.”
"It is the basic skill of a knight to take the initiative to rob an unattended lady." Guo Kang also added: "We are the embodiment of the spirit of chivalry."
"Don't look at those people who are pretending to be noble people. They are actually just a bunch of barbarians who ran out of the dark forest. They have no respect." Li Xuanying said with a smile: "Don't they do this kind of thing very often? It's just that before , they are all robbing others, and they haven’t been robbed many times, so it seems very ‘rare’.”
"Before, these barbarian chiefs were used to being arrogant. They always robbed others. Now, they can't accept it when others rob them."
"But do you think that the chiefs of Alemanni are really born with noble blood? Why can't they grab it?" He said to Zelik and Jashka: "What is the essential difference between them and the tribesmen? , resulting in the fact that the tribesmen can be robbed, but the chief cannot? Who stipulated this, Brother Tian? "
"That's really what they advertise." Jeanna thought for a moment and said, "They usually claim that they are chosen by Heavenly Father, so they are nobler than others."
"Did Heavenly Father personally come down to earth and tell everyone publicly?" Li Xuanying said disdainfully: "At first glance, it seems that the barbarian made it up himself and boasted about it. Don't you think so?"
"Does Heavenly Father have to come down to earth for it to count?" Jeanne muttered.
"You have to say that...yes, the Patriarch or the Bishop of Rome are just messengers and agents. How can the Heavenly Father himself speak in person?" Li Xuanying suddenly realized and started to analyze.
"Look, the highest legitimacy seems to be that Heavenly Father and Heavenly Brother come down to earth and tell everyone in person, right? In that case..."
"Well, your religious ideas are much more radical than... than ours." Brother Zelik stammered and gestured.
"We won't discuss religious issues today." Guo Kang quickly tried to change the topic: "Let's continue telling them the plans of the Roman Khanate at that time."
"There's nothing to say about that." Li Xuanying replied: "At that time, we in Rome also had a problem."
"Just the year before, in 1381, everyone worked together to overthrow the tyranny of Queen Mother Helena."
"But there is also a side effect of this matter: the previous diplomatic matters-that is, the family tree relationships and marriage relationships that I couldn't understand just now, were all presided over by the Queen Mother herself. Without her, everyone is not used to it for a while. , I don’t quite understand these.”
"My father still remembers the situation at that time. It was said that after a few days of meeting and discussion, everyone was confused. In the end, Totuo Mametinikus from the North tent directly slammed the table and said that the order was reversed, no matter what He's gone, just hit him."
"So you went on the expedition directly?" Zhu Wenkui also asked with great interest.
"Yes. At that time, everyone agreed deeply and felt that we could no longer get entangled in this mess." Li Xuanying shook his head: "No matter what the claims are, just destroy the vassal kingdoms and there will be no claims. This will save trouble. too much."
"The Great Khan decided to go on a personal expedition, and my father and Uncle Guo were the vanguard at that time, leading the team to arrest people." He said proudly: "At that time, Hungary was in chaos, and the royal party was not well-guarded. They succeeded in a single raid. Caught the mother and daughter back."
"You guys should have heard about what happened next. We took the king and ordered the nobles to attack Bosnia and Hungary. Since then, Basil III has been using troops there and has become famous."
"Sigismund came to negotiate with us and wanted to redeem him, but the Khan's court said that since ancient times, the Romans and the Barbarians have been incompatible, and the royal family has not been at peace. It's easy to say that there is no need to talk about this matter."
"I heard that Her Majesty Maria is still here." Zelik thought for a while and said, "I wonder what she thinks about the inheritance?"
"She seems to be in Thessaloniki now." Li Xuanying thought for a while and said, "The incident happened suddenly. We just went to rob it and didn't think about what to do after we robbed it."
"The Great Khan already has a Serbian wife. Some people have suggested restoring the ancient system and setting up multiple offices to obtain claims to Hungary. But we are not sure whether the locals recognize this method of acquisition..."
"I just remembered it. Do the locals recognize it?" Jeanne said in surprise.
"This...it's not that I didn't think too much beforehand." Li Xuanying scratched her head: "Our church does not recognize Sigismund's marriage to her, in order to deny the Luxembourg family's power over Hungary. But who to marry, everyone I didn't even think about it. Not long after that, the 'An Da War' broke out, and no one had time to worry about the subsequent marriage arrangements, so the matter was shelved."
"After all this trouble, the Patriarch Yin remembered this matter. Taoist Yin believed that she still has the status of a noble. As long as he controls her, he can take the opportunity to go to Alemanni and catch other big people. Sir, come and be our vassal."
"It's just that none of the local princes were willing to come to be their son-in-law. The matchmakers we sent to work as matchmakers were not very popular, and none of them were attracted in the end. The Khan's court was very discouraged and too lazy to take care of it anymore. They thought that as long as we didn't Run back to the barbarians and let her be."
"Later, she found a husband in Italy. I forgot which family he belonged to. He was not a very famous person." Li Xuanying scratched her head: "Maybe the nobles have seen through Taoist Master Yin's plan. No. Be fooled."
"Hey, by the way. There were rumors at that time that she had some kind of relationship with Uncle Guo." He turned to look at Guo Kang and said mysteriously: "Unfortunately, I didn't see anything later, I don't know... "
"No, absolutely not." Guo Kang quickly denied: "Don't put everything on my adoptive father's head!"
"What's the matter..." Li Xuanying curled her lips and hesitated: "Oh, it's not important anymore. In short, Sigismund suffered a big loss and lost face, and he has become an enemy since then—— Even if we don’t have any enmity, we’ll fight just the same.”
"This is really amazing." Jeanne shook her head and said, "Now that the control is so loose, I haven't seen her running back."
"Where to go? To Sigismund's side?" Guo Kang disagreed: "Don't you think she will be better off there?"
——In Guo Kang’s world, Maria died in a rather suspicious accident when she was in her twenties. After that, her husband Sigismund successfully secured his position as king.
This kind of thing is probably not that rare in Europe today. It was normal for her to feel threatened.
However, Guo Kang felt that if he said this kind of thing, there was no way to verify it and make them believe it, so there was no need to say it.
——Oh, that’s not right either. This is Sigismund's dirty information, so they might really believe it...
