The Rise of the European Emperor

()

() Julius II cleared his throat and said:

"I've also been sitting here for a long time, and you two are holding on to each other's words, and you can't argue. It sounds like what you said seems to make sense, but in fact, both of you have gone too far..."

At this time, everyone's eyes on the Pope changed, and many people thought in shock:

"Is His Majesty the Pope really intending to say something 'fair'?"

Then, the words of Julius II confirmed their thinking:

"Although Marin is the righteous side of this war, and he won..."

Many people suddenly realized that it was for Marin's platform. As soon as they came up, they gave Marin the label of "justice". Of course, this is not to favor Marlin. Because Marin is indeed the one being attacked, not the one who initiated the aggression, there is nothing wrong with that.

"However, his requirements are too high..." Julius II said unhurriedly.

The words of Julius II resonated with most of the princes on the field, and everyone nodded in agreement. On the side, Marin, who is the protagonist, looked at Julius II with a shocked expression, as if he couldn't believe it... In fact, this is of course Marin's fake expression...

However, for some unknown reason, the princes felt very refreshed when they saw Malin's unbelievable aggrieved expression...

Julius II continued:

"There is nothing wrong with asking Denmark to cede Jutland. After all, although Jutland is not small, it does not involve sensitive issues. Speaking of which, this is a territory. After all, the core area of ​​Denmark is on the island of Zealand. The ceding of the Jutland peninsula will reduce the size of the Kingdom of Denmark a lot, but it will not touch the core area of ​​Denmark..."

Many princes present also nodded,

I think what Julius II said makes sense...

"but……"

Julius II took a turn and continued:

"Marin wants the Kingdom of Norway, that's too much!"

Immediately, the atmosphere of the venue became warm. Many princes who opposed Marin's claim to the Kingdom of Norway immediately said with pride:

"Let me just say, Marin is too greedy to want the Kingdom of Norway. He is quite a king alone?"

King Hans, who had been sitting on the side and had no right to speak, even stood up excitedly and shouted:

"His Majesty the Pope is wise!"

For him, the Pope's remarks may have allowed him to keep a kingdom and a crown. How can he not be excited? Who dislikes the crown more? Even, he is now ashamed of the suspicion that Pope Julius II and Marin were "unanimous"...

Looking at the excited father-in-law, Joachim I, Elector of Brandenburg, was indifferent. In fact, he knew this scene at noon. Because, Marin discussed with him, let him come out to be a nursery when and when. Then, you can waive half of the ransom...

Moreover, Marin himself took the initiative to halve the territorial claim, which also made Joachim I very satisfied. Although it hurts to lose a rich city like Stendal, it is also a pleasant surprise to gain the Besko region (Oder-Spree county) southeast of Berlin.

After all, the Besko area, just southeast of Berlin, is a real safety hazard. At noon, Marin and him analyzed that the Basco area is too close to Berlin, which is not good for Berlin's security.

In fact, Joachim I's grandfather had considered exchanging lands west of the Elbe and the electorate of Saxony for the Besco region. But at that time, Saxony opened his mouth to be rich in Stendal, which made Joachim I's grandfather very reluctant. So, the deal was closed. If the Saxons were willing to exchange the Basco region for the Salzwedel region (later Salzwedel-Altmark county), this exchange might have been completed long ago.

Now, Stendall's loss seems inevitable. And Marin's plan to integrate the land, let him exchange the Salzwedel area for the Besco area, does not seem to suffer. After all, there is no threat from other countries around Berlin anymore.

Moreover, working with Marin can save a lot of compensation, which is what the poor ghost Joachim I attaches great importance to...

He doesn't care if doing so will harass his father-in-law and Frederick III. Besides, he doesn't say it, Marin doesn't say it, who knows?

Julius II continued:

"The change of regime in a kingdom is a major event for the whole of Europe! Although the Kingdom of Norway has a small population and is located in remote northern Europe. However, it is also a kingdom! The crown of Norway is also a genuine crown, not adulterated, yes Approved by the Holy See!"

"Marin wants to defeat Denmark, and he wants the other party to cede a kingdom, or even a certain crown... I think this is inappropriate. Or, Marin, you are too greedy..."

"You must know that greed is one of the original sins. For now, you can't bear the weight of the crown!" Julius II said to Marin righteously.

And Marin, with tears in his eyes, seemed very aggrieved...

In fact, taking advantage of the opportunity when everyone was watching Julius II just now, Marin smeared the cut onion hidden in his sleeve around his eyes, which made his eyes start to cry... Fortunately, everyone else was standing Stay away from Marin or you'll smell an onion...

Marin showed a very aggrieved look and said:

"Sir Pope, but I have such a powerful army, I have the ability to conquer a kingdom, and I have the confidence to defend it!"

But Julius II shook his head firmly and said:

"That doesn't work either, the crown is very precious in Europe. Look, how big is the Grand Duchy of Lithuania? It has a large population and is considered a European power. However, they also don't have the title of a kingdom and lack a crown. So, in Europe, , the crown is extremely precious. With your current situation, you are not worthy of wearing the crown..." In fact, what Julius II really wanted to say was—with your current strength, you can't keep the crown...

Moreover, Julius II is also very cunning, and his words are very careful - he only says that Marin is not worthy of the crown at the moment, but he does not say that Marin is not worthy of the crown...

The meanings of these two are completely different. They are not worthy at present, and they imply that they may be worthy in the future. If it is not worthy, it means that you are completely unqualified...

As a father-in-law, Julius II naturally hoped that Marin would one day wear the crown. Therefore, he can't leave the story and say that Marin is not worthy now. When he crowns Marin in the future, he will not be accused of breaking his word...

When Marin heard Julius II say this, he seemed very excited and aggrieved. Many princes who were close to him saw that Ma Lin seemed to have tears in his eyes - Ma Lin seemed to be very aggrieved, and he was so wronged that he almost cried...

"Sure enough, he is a big boy, and he wants to cry when he is wronged..." Many people thought disdainfully.

However, seeing the appearance of Ma Lin wanting to cry, many princes in Mao feel so comfortable that they want to cry out?

Julius II took a sip of water, moistened his throat, and continued:

"As for your request to cede the land of Brandenburg and Saxony, I also think that you want a lot!"

"Ah?" Marin cooperated and pretended to be shocked, and seemed a little confused...

Julius II continued:

"You want two countries to cede to you an area of ​​land equivalent to a principality. The requirements are too high!"

"Perhaps, it's nothing for the Electorate of Brandenburg to cede such a large area of ​​land to you. Because the Electorate of Brandenburg is already very large. But the Electorate of Saxony is different. After the Treaty of Leipzig, Saxony, It has been divided into two countries. The area of ​​land under the jurisdiction of the Elector Frederick is not as much as you. You want to take away half of the land, don't you want to kill them?"

Frederick III on the side wondered why Julius II spoke for him instead of Marin, but at this time, he nodded desperately:

"The Pope is right. If you want to cut off half of Saxony's land, it's better to kill me!"

Julius II looked at Frederick III, then turned back and said:

"Well, Marin, your request for the ceding of land between the two countries is cut in half!"

"Half? That's a lot of land..." Marin looked reluctant...

"Do you really listen to my opinion?"

"I...I..." Marin looked extremely reluctant, his eyes were full of tears, as if he had been greatly wronged. However, the princes like to see the miserable appearance of Marin being wronged...

Frederick III was a little puzzled, and he always felt that something was wrong. But at this moment, Joachim I, who had been silent for a while, suddenly stood up, raised his arms and shouted:

"Long live His Majesty the Pope, your decision is too wise, and I, Joachim, fully support your decision!"

His bluffing appearance shocked everyone and interrupted Frederick III, who seemed to want to think about the truth...

Joachim I continued to raise his arms and shout:

"Cut in half, chop in half!"

The princes don't know why, but they seem to be very unfavorable to Marin. So they also shouted:

"Cut in half, chop in half!"

"Cut in half!"

"half……"

"Half……"

Against the tumultuous backdrop, Marin seemed aggrieved to accept Pope Julius II's decision.

Before signing, Marin was lying on the table with his head down, as if crying...

"Haha, this boy Marin fights so hard. I didn't expect that he would cry when he was wronged, so he's not ashamed!"

"Yeah, yeah! Or let's call him Marlin the Weeper?" someone suggested.

"Seconds! 'Marin the Weeper', the whole title is good!"

Then, the name Marin "The Wailer" spread throughout the venue. Everyone gleefully signed the contract, acknowledging the Pope's "just" verdict. Even Frederick III, who was interrupted, and King Hans of Denmark, who was a little confused, signed the contract in a daze, acknowledging its legal effect.

Moreover, as a "compensation" for Marin, Pope Julius II proposed that Joachim I, Elector of Brandenburg, and Frederick III, Elector of Saxony, as electors, promise to give Marin The chance for Lin to vote in favor of the Imperial Parliament three times...

Because of the confusion in his head, Frederick III agreed at the time and signed it. But Marin was overjoyed, because Marin did not intend to waste these three opportunities casually, but planned to use these three opportunities at extremely important imperial meetings - for example, the election of the throne...

Just when everyone was discussing the indecent nickname of Marin "The Weeper", Marin sneered in his heart - "The Weeper? Hmph, I can earn enough benefits. As long as you give enough benefits, don't say crying, I'm willing to splash and roll on the ground!"

As the soul of a modern Chinese with "interest first", Marin doesn't care about those false names, but only cares about actual interests. You know, in later generations, many celebrities, in order to increase their exposure, deliberately bribed people to blackmail themselves. It is commonplace to expose black materials... As long as they are popular enough, they can make more money, and what is a little stigma? In order to make headlines, Wang Toutiao dumped his infamous wife and married a well-known international chapter, for what? Don't you want to be in the headlines? It's a pity that someone accidentally stole the limelight.
