The Rise of the European Emperor

On the second day of the grand trial, most of the sentenced nobles of Henry VII's faction, including their families, were sent to the execution ground.

The execution ground is located on the square at the southwest gate of the Tower of London. On this day, it was crowded with people, and the people of London came to see the grand occasion of the beheading of the former king and former nobles...

Following an order, the executioners waved their axes and slashed at the necks of Henry VII and others. For a time, blood splattered...

Henry VII, Thomas Stanley and other men who were beheaded were okay, they were all silent. But those women and children were beheaded, but they were very worried. When the women and children were pinned to the guillotine, they were still crying and begging for mercy. Even the ruthless Marin couldn't bear to see it. Even Edward, who gave the order, couldn't help but close his eyes...

However, both of them know the truth of "cut weeds without eradicating the roots, the spring breeze will regenerate". At that time, the reason why Henry VII was able to raise the banner against Richard III was because Henry VII was alive? If Henry VII was killed when he was a child, then there would not be so much trouble. After all, ancient Europe was very particular about blood. Without the blood of the royal family and the blood of the great nobles, no one will pay attention to what they say. Even if you raise your arms and shout, you are just being treated as a lunatic.

On this day, in the square outside the southwest gate of the Tower of London, the blood of thousands of men, women and children who were killed gathered into a pool of blood...

Also on this night, Queen Elizabeth of Henry VII hanged herself in a convent under house arrest... Before she committed suicide, Queen Elizabeth left a blood book - Edward, I am waiting for you in hell! My children and I will tear your soul apart!

Seeing this resentful blood letter, Edward was stunned for a long time. He sat on the throne without moving for a long time, and couldn't stop muttering to himself:

"Am I wrong? Am I wrong..."

"No, Your Majesty, you are right!" Marin said firmly. Now the mess in England still needs Edward to clean up, and he doesn't want to see Edward go down.

"However, my cousin's resentment towards me was so deep before she died...I..." Edward almost cried.

Marin hurriedly said:

"No, Your Majesty, you would have been beheaded in the winter of 1497 if my sister Margaret and I had not tried to replace you in the Tower of London! And those whom you ordered to kill yesterday , they will ignore your blood and drink freely... The battle for the throne is bloody! The winner is the king, and the loser is the bandit!"

"The winner is the king, and the loser is the thief?" Edward repeated Marin's words.

Finally some wake up.

"Yes, Your Majesty, this is a common saying in the Eastern Empire! It means that history is written by successful people. Your Majesty, you have succeeded, so in the history books, Henry VII and the others will be infamous for thousands of years, and you will surely shine. Forever..."

Edward thought for a long time, nodded, and said:

"I understand, but...this blood book...my reputation..."

Marin's eyes were fierce and he said:

"Tear it up, and imitate this handwriting and write a suicide note with the opposite meaning. In the tone of Princess Elizabeth, she said that she was forced to marry Henry VII. And her children are Henry VII. For the evil seed she was forced to give birth to, there will be more to die for! As for the reason why Princess Elizabeth committed suicide... It is said that she gave birth to an enemy, and she is ashamed of the ancestors of the York family..."

Edward was taken aback:

"Are you going to forge a suicide note? However, someone else knows about this..."

"How many people know about this? Didn't it spread?"

"Probably a few nuns from the monastery, and a few guards who went to deal with the matter..."

"Very well, deal with them in secret. As for the fake suicide note, I'll do it!"

After speaking, Marin once again used the skill of imitating handwriting that he had learned from his previous life and the buddy who made the false testimony, and began to dipped in the blood that was sent from the square, imitating Queen Elizabeth's handwriting, and wrote a fake letter. suicide note...

An hour later, Edward took two suicide notes, true and false, and looked left and right, surprised...

"This……"

"Don't be surprised, Your Majesty, this is just a small trick..." Marin said lightly.

Edward thought for a while and tore the real suicide note into pieces...

...

On the third day, Edward invited the citizens of London and representatives of foreign chambers of commerce to attend his enthronement ceremony. Because he could not find foreign envoys to watch the ceremony, Edward simply invited the members of the investigation team sent by the Holy See to investigate whether Edward V was murdered before leaving London, as foreign guests, to participate in the enthronement ceremony...

In this investigation team sent by the Pope, there are French and Scots. They were half threatened by Marin's subordinates and participated in this bloody enthronement ceremony as "foreign guests".

The starting point of the enthronement ceremony was still on the Great Square outside the southwest gate of the Tower of London, where thousands of nobles were killed just yesterday. Although all the corpses and blood have been swept away from the square with the efforts of the strong people, the air is still filled with an extremely strong smell of blood...

In order to cover up the smell and prevent the plague from breeding, Marin had people sprinkle a lot of quicklime on the square. However, it still can't hide the bloody smell...

But Edward himself didn't care, and he didn't even wipe the blood on the crown taken from the head of the slain Henry VII, and he didn't think it was necessary...

"The kingslayer will eventually be punished by God, and it is God's arrangement that I can survive and kill all those kingslayers!" Edward shouted on the high platform with a golden scepter.

"They will die! And I, according to God's arrangement, will become the king of all England and Ireland!" Edward looked at the guillotine in the center of the square with contempt, and then shouted confidently.

"Long live the king!" Marin took the opportunity to lead the rhythm with his English soldiers.

"Long live the king!" This is the arrangement of the strong people to shout.

"Long live the king!" The people of London were finally brought into the rhythm...

Amid the cheers of the people, Edward took his wife Anna by the hand, set out from the square, boarded a carriage, and was escorted by tens of thousands of Marin troops to Westminster Abbey, where he was frightened by the The trembling Archbishop of Canterbury, William Wallham, put the bloodstained crown on his head. Edward then took a queen's tiara from William Wollham and put it on his wife Anna...

In fact, William Wollham was the archbishop who was raised by Henry VII, not Edward's side at all. Even William Wallam himself was reluctant to crown Edward.

Originally, William Wallam wanted to use the authority of the Holy See to reject Edward. Because, he did not think Edward dared to oppose the Holy See.

However, Marin didn't give him any face at all. Marlin tied up all of William Wallam's relatives and brought them to William Wallham, threatening:

"Either coronate His Majesty Edward, or die for you and your entire clan!"

In the face of Marin's near-public death threat, William Wallum was shocked and angry:

"How dare you? I am the Archbishop of the Holy See! Are you not afraid of the punishment of His Excellency the Pope?"

"Lord Pope? Ahaha... I killed your entire clan, and Lord Pope won't punish me!" Marin said arrogantly.

On the side, Pastor Geroni, the representative of the investigation team sent by the Holy See, directly pretended not to see it, raised his head, and began to carefully observe the structure of the dome of the church...

"Lord Messenger, this person is disrespectful to the Holy See, so you don't care?" William Wallam asked the Holy See delegation for help.

However, Pastor Heroni directly threw the pot and said:

"I didn't see anything, and I didn't hear anything!" Pastor Heroni was a close subordinate of Julius II, and naturally knew the close relationship between Marin and Julius II. Therefore, when Marin threatened to kill the entire family of the Archbishop of Canterbury, he directly chose to pretend not to see...

Seeing that even the emissaries of the Holy See did not care about the barbaric behavior of Marin, Archbishop of Canterbury William Wallam had to give in. So, when he put the blood-stained crown on Edward, he was still shivering, and he had not yet recovered from the shock...

After putting on the blood-colored crown, Marin hurriedly presented the king's sword found in the palace of Henry VII. Edward handed the golden scepter to Queen Anna, while he raised the king's sword and said loudly:

"The blood of England has dried up, and the true king has returned! The glorious age of England has come!"

"Long live!"

"Long live!"

"Long live!"

Inside and outside the church, tens of thousands of soldiers shouted in unison. Because it was rehearsed in advance, and Marin's military discipline was good enough, the sound of tens of thousands of people chanting neatly resounded through the city of London, shocking all the people watching the ceremony, whether they were London citizens or foreign guests...
