Chapter 31

"So you told me that he left tru and came to METZL with the people of the negotiating mission?"

The king and the Duke of Buckingham were standing in the pavilion, supporting the railing. Hearing what the duke said, the king seemed to be interested.

"What's your suggestion? Do you think I should put him to death? "

The Duke of Buckingham chuckled and found that he and his nephew had the same idea: "no, I've come to plead with you for him."

"Why?"

The king was not angry.

"Because he was a romantic idealist - in the words of those court poets." The Duke of Buckingham sighed, "he's too idealistic. The reinforcements that Lord Grice originally wanted to bring were actually him, but after Lord Grice joined the Holy See, he chose not to move."

"A brave, just, stupid guy."

The king commented on him.

"Sounds like you're impressed with him." Asked the Duke of Buckingham with great interest.

"Of course." The king grinned. "A general who can stand in a stalemate with the Blaise expeditionary army for nearly a month in the situation of almost running out of ammunition and food, even if he is a fool, he is also a fool who needs special attention."

The Duke of Buckingham laughed: "yes, your majesty. That's it - that guy is politically stupid, but he's a brilliant military genius. "

The king didn't care about hundreds of nobles, but he absolutely cared about a military genius, a general who was willing to risk his life for his soldiers. He can tolerate the devil who wants to kill himself twice, not to mention a romantic general?

In a few words, my uncle and nephew have reached a consensus.

It was the north wind blowing again, and the snow was heavy. If the Duke of Buckingham looked at the black tower carelessly, he suggested to the king that it was time to go back. Baron Hearn had been waiting in the palace for some time.

"He won't mind waiting a little longer."

Even so, the king left the pavilion.

………………

TA, Ta, TA.

Drop by drop, the blood fell on the cold rock. The crazy queen stuck her face to the cold iron railing. She gazed at the king's back in the snow.

"Child, my child, Pollan, my Pollan!"

The king's figure was finally covered up by the wind and snow, and the voice of the crazy queen was finally burst out. She raised her head and cried in ecstasy and pain.

"My child! Purland! He's alive! He's alive

In the black tower, her voice had a long echo.

"Yes, he is alive."

The Duke of Buckingham's voice rang quietly.

The crazy queen suddenly turned around and saw the Duke of Buckingham in his scarlet cloak standing not far behind her.

The Duke of Buckingham's eyes fell on the hand of the mad queen. He showed a "sure" complex look: "it's something you can do."

The crazy queen held a thin black iron blade in her hand. She grasped the iron knife with her left hand, and the blade fell deeply into the Queen's palm, I'm afraid it would be embedded in the bone. The crazy Queen's hands were full of blood. The blood had been frozen in the cold weather, and it looked very terrible.

Seeing her like this, the Duke of Buckingham could immediately guess what had happened.

The queen wanted to take this opportunity to assassinate the king. Don't underestimate the simple iron blade in her hand. It is light, thin and extremely sharp. With Elinor's ability, she can kill anyone under the tower with the help of the right wind at this distance.

This is the famous Samurai queen.

However, at the last moment, when the iron was about to fly out, the queen held the knife by herself.

She recognized the king.

"Are you awake?"

Asked the Duke of Buckingham, and Eleanor understood the meaning.

"Wake up."

The queen opened her hand hard, and the blood ice broke and fell to the ground. She leaned wearily against the wall and raised her head.

"It's been a nightmare for a long time."

"William told you the answer from the beginning. You should have some confidence in us." The Duke of Buckingham was a little reproachful. "Pullland - the Pope himself, we couldn't tell you too much, but we thought you could understand the name."

Purland, on the surface, means "glory.".

However, in the ancient Legrand language, there is another obscure meaning "although broken and fallen, but will eventually nirvana of good.".

"No The queen interrupted the Duke of Buckingham. She sneered, "do you think I don't know what that means?"

"Then why are you doing that?"

The Duke of Buckingham became more and more puzzled, which had troubled him for more than ten years."I'm not telling you..." The queen paused. "I held the secret. Then I saw... "

Her tone began to rush again.

"What do you see?" Asked the Duke of Buckingham.

The queen stretched out her hand and pressed her forehead, even though she was awake now, but when she thought of that, the pain roared again, and she growled in a low voice: "I saw him dead! I saw him die many a time! I thought you failed! "

There was so much hatred and sadness in her low roar that not only the Holy See, but also the Duke of Buckingham - even William III. For so many years, the queen struggled in this hatred.

The Duke of Buckingham stood still.

The queen raised her head and burst into tears.

"I saw him die before my eyes many a time. And I can't save him! I can't save my child! "

"How long?"

The queen showed a sad almost twisted smile: "more than ten years, always like this."

"Relax, Eleanor." The Duke of Buckingham lowered his voice. "Anyway, it's all over now. It's all over. We won the bet."

"Yes, I won." The queen turned her face and looked at the direction where the king was leaving, "my child, my purland We won, and he finally grew up healthy and safe. "

"What are you going to do now? To see him? " Asked the Duke of Buckingham.

"No

The queen refused.

She stretched out her hand and gathered her hair. Although she was surprisingly thin, she still had a strange and beautiful face, showing the familiar look of the Duke of Buckingham. Sober, calm, determined: "I can't show up now. There must be a reason why the secret method goes wrong I think astrologers must have played a part in it. Those damned astrologers, they did a good job after they joined the Holy See. They are a group of loyal dogs. "

"Give me a list of astrologers who were active more than ten years ago."

"What are you going to do?"

The Duke of Buckingham had a familiar, bad feeling.

"Kill them."

In the eyes of the queen, the sharp edge of the knife suddenly gathered. She was as thin as a pair of bones. However, when she said this, it was like the sound of a clang of gold and iron in the air.

Tooth for tooth, eye for eye, blood for blood.

Who took her lover, and let her children into such a dangerous gamble, then she will kill who! She even dares to kill God's grace, not to mention just a group of running dogs of the holy court.

The Duke of Buckingham sighed.

He knew that Eleanor was not joking.

She had done this for a long time - perhaps a greater part of the king's character was following his mother.

That was 21 years ago.

When William III went to war, there were large-scale mutinies among the three states in the south of Legrand, and many lords joined in the mutinies. William III and the Duke of Buckingham took most of the army. The gate of melz castle was opened by the interior, and the Lords rushed all the way to the Rose Palace.

The rebels thought they would see the queen and the servants of the palace pleading timidly.

They did see the queen.

The queen, dressed in armor, stands one by one in front of the gate of the palace.

She wore a scarlet robe, which was rolled up by the wind, as if she were standing in a burning flame. With a long iron gun, she looked at the stunned rebel lords indifferently. With a wave of the iron gun, she drew a long line in front of the palace.

"I know what you want to do."

The Queen's voice was cold, and the back of the Rose Palace stood majestically behind her horses.

"If you want, come and get it."

"I can give you all the glory, wealth, power and status you want. You don't have to fight, you don't have to rob. "

"As long as you have life to take it!"

As she spoke, the servants poured out of the palace and poured buckets of oil on the ground in front of the palace. The Lords exclaimed and found that the streets around them were already filled with kerosene. And in their astonished commotion, the queen took a torch from the servant's hand.

As long as the torch falls to the ground, the fire will instantly devour all people, including the queen herself.

The queen held a torch in one hand and a spear in the other.

"Come on!"

Why do they think that when William III leaves, there will be no one to guard the palace? What remains in the heart of the empire is the samurai queen who is comparable to William III. she is astonishingly beautiful and crazy.

The lords were startled by the queen, and after a long stalemate, they were ready to leave.

However, on both sides of the roof appeared finally arrived archers, the forest of the arrow pointed at the rebel nobles. The queen held a torch, the light of which reflected her face, and she watched the rain of arrows fall all over the sky. The corpses were piled up at the main entrance of the Rose Palace, and the blood spread to the Queen's horses.The biggest massacre against the great nobles in the history of Legrand was completed by Queen Elinor.

The Duke of Buckingham suddenly remembered that day when the king said casually that he would kill all the new royalists

It's really in the same strain.

"Stay in Legrand for a while. Looking at you now, who can recognize that you were the queen Buckingham Duke's head ached a little, but the burden in his heart finally came down. "Don't you want him to lose his mother after he lost his father?"

This sentence has a greater effect on the queen.

"Give me a secret room, secure identity, can see him every day, not too far away from him." The queen glared angrily at the Duke of Buckingham for a moment and gave the order.

This familiar arrogance, familiar nitpicking and command tone.

The Duke of Buckingham felt that the most instructive Elinor he knew was back.

"It's time you changed your temper."

He said helplessly.

"Anyway..."

The Duke of Buckingham gave a tired smile: "welcome back, Eleanor."

"I wake up, and And look at you now. You're getting old so fast. " The queen was silent for a long time, but also showed a relieved smile, "he will become a real king, like his father."

"He will."

It's a long nightmare. It's over.

Nearly a thousand years have passed since the crown of the rose family was shrouded in the haze of God. It's time for the crown to shine again.

………………

Baron Hearn went into the Rose Palace.

At this moment, his mood calmed down.

When he led his cavalry on that cold night, he was ready to die. Without such determination, how dare he pull the bow to the king.

Baron Hearn met the king.

He sat by the window of his study. The sun fell on the King through the window. As like as two peas, the first time he saw him, he felt the same as the king. The king was the most beautiful rose that was poured from the most expensive luxury in this court. Almost aggressive.

"Good day, Mr. sheen."

The king stopped and was looking through the files. He looked calmly at Baron Hearn.

Baron Hearn knew on that stormy night that their majesty the king was by no means as simple as it seemed - not everyone could defeat a whole army of grundy cavalry. He came in in silence and knelt down slowly without making a sound.

Baron Hearn bowed his head, did not see the king's look, but heard him speak slowly.

"I heard that you have hosted my negotiation group for a period of time. I hope it does not bring you any more burden. You sent them back to METZL in good condition today, right? Sir

"Yes, it's intact."

"Great." The king chuckled. "You've made the right choice."

"All the officials of the negotiating mission are in the hotel outside METZL. The contract is also in good condition. " Baron Hearn spoke a little faster. "The Knights of TRU are loyal to you. I'm the only one who made the wrong choice. They escorted me to the capital this time. I ask your Majesty's anger not to fall on them. "

Instead of answering his question directly, the king tapped on the armrest and said, "let me guess your plan."

"Your knights are fully armed, and you choose the hotel closest to the crossroads for them. Then you come to me alone, without any weapons, and plead for your knight. If I don't agree, then your knights will have a chance to evacuate as soon as possible. At worst, they will take the negotiation group as hostages in exchange for their own safety. And you're going to leave your life in the palace, aren't you

Baron Hearn did not answer.

"You are a brave man." The king praised him, and his words suddenly changed. "But I'm sorry, sir. When you arrive at the palace, your loyal men can't help following you into the city. Their disguise is bad enough. My uncle sent them to prison to reflect

Baron Hearn raised his head abruptly. He touched his waist subconsciously.

I feel empty.

He then remembered that he stepped into the Rose Palace this time and gave the accessories to the guards.

"Don't be so nervous, sir. The king noticed his subconscious action. "The people I want to kill can line up from the palace gate to the castle gate. You and your brave and stupid soldiers are not qualified to be on the top of the list."

Baron Hearn thought of the rumor that the nobles of the new royalist party had been exploited by the king and had to empty their pockets: "I would like to offer you everything I have. Please forgive them for their recklessness. "

"I don't need your loyalty. I don't need your vows. They're not worth a penny." The king leaned back in his crimson chair and looked at him scornfully. "As for wealth, it's OK, but I don't think you can take it out.""And what do you need?"

Baron Hearn did not think that the king could be equated with tolerance.

The king took the file at hand and handed it to Baron Hearn. Baron Hearn took it and began to read it. There was a look of consternation on his face, which soon became more and more dignified.

At last he looked up in amazement at the king, and a guess came to his mind.

"I want an army."

Said the king slowly.

It's not an army borrowed from anyone, not an army brought by the nobility in wartime, not an army paid for, but an army only belonging to the king, an army comparable to the heavy cavalry of the gurendys. From a general to a commander to a soldier, from armor to a flag, one can only obey the will of the king.

Baron Hearn's conjecture was confirmed.

The king was determined to push through what his father had not done.

He wants to reform the military system!

"How determined are you?"

The king looked coldly at Baron Hearn.

Baron Hearn took a deep breath, and the cold air poured into his heart. Under the social conditions of knighthood and aristocracy, if you want to change, you don't have to think about how much resistance and blood you will face. In the event of failure, the king may be safe, but he will definitely fall to pieces.

But that's what he had been longing for countless times before?

It's not just a danger, it's an opportunity he never thought he could really get.

He heard that his breath was becoming short, and the things he had imagined were close at hand.

"At your service!"

The king gave a smile.

He picked up another commission from his desk and handed it to Baron Hearn.

"What is the name of your army?"

Baron Hearn took over the letter, did not read the above content, but asked the king.

"Rose."

The king looked out of the window as if his eyes had passed the whole towering Rose Palace.

"The rose cavalry."

October 1432.

The raging waves of military reform began to brew, and in the study of the palace, on a cold winter morning, the rudiment of the rose cavalry was formally formed. The king will have the first army to obey only the will of the crown.

The author has something to say: the following is a discussion about the black death in the middle ages. It's a little long and not interesting. Just talk about it.

There are three large-scale outbreaks of the black death in history, each of which can be called a catastrophe. Even today, with the development of science and technology, the black death (plague) is easy to cause panic. (the plague patients found it a few days ago and went on a hot search to prove this.)

In order to deal with the black death, the European government cut off the sea trade at that time, but it was only an expedient measure to stop the spread of the black death. The time of trade shelving limited the government's revenue.

In the middle ages, medicine and science were in the age of ignorance. During the second pandemic, it was difficult for people to determine what the pathogenic factors were. At that time, there were popular theories such as God's punishment, astrology, and various scapegoats.

The theory of God's punishment is often associated with the theory of Millennium Kingdom and doomsday, which was deeply believed by many people at that time. Let's take a look at the letter of Francisco Petrarch, one of the three heroes of the Renaissance: "this phenomenon marks God's anger at human crimes. If the crimes disappear, God's punishment will be reduced.". And such as "the judgment of the solar membrane at the feast of Saturn" and "chronicles of niconia", we can also get a glimpse of the situation at that time.

Astrology attributes the black death to the bad luck of astrology, which is the source of literature processing in this paper. Of course, in real life we have to believe in science.

The crime of removal was also a common phenomenon at that time. The first one to bear the brunt was the Jews. During the French plague in 1348, thousands of Jews were killed, a large number of Jewish organizations in 1348-1349 Germany were destroyed, and many people were brutally burned. The Duke of Albert of Austria issued an official expulsion order It can be said that we can clearly smell the smell of blood when we turn to the history of the black death.

In addition, there are whipping movement, killing sacrifice movement and so on.

Pulling back the timeline, we can see that the impact of the black death is extremely complex and far-reaching, not just causing large-scale deaths. It is even the remote cause of a series of historical events, such as religious reform, Renaissance, geographical discovery, medical revolution and so on.

The Decameron came into being under the background of the black death. The plague in the Decameron has the color of extreme carnival. The author also shows his criticism of religion at this time, which can be used as a peep point. After the black death, the number of people dropped sharply, which also had a huge impact on the economy. The social role of manor servant gradually disappeared in the middle ages, and the wages of the labor force rose, even the state had to take the means of freezing wages to curb it. "The black death caused labor shortages in various industries and for a long time (from 1348 to the last decades of the 15th century) in Western Europe, and thus promoted the increase of nominal wages several times.".Its impact is complex and multifaceted.

I'm glad to be able to arouse your interest in the relevant history, which is one of my selfishness in writing this story. The history is magnificent, and it is extremely beautiful.
