Chapter 952： Can this be done?

Seeing Queen Margaret coming, Prime Minister Alex was surprised. But he still greeted him, saluting:

"Good afternoon, Your Majesty, do you have anything?"

There is no saying in Europe that women are not allowed to do politics. After all, the practice of strong marriage is practiced in Europe, so the woman generally has a big head and has enough influence on the political situation. Therefore, in Europe, it is impossible to prevent the queen from doing politics. However, the queen usually does politics through the king and rarely communicates directly with the prime minister. After all, the Prime Minister is loyal to the King, not the Queen.

After Queen Margaret bent down and paid back, she said:

"Sir Prime Minister is well, I'm here to ask, how is the progress of your assassination?"

At this point, Prime Minister Alex's face suddenly looked a little unsightly:

"Ah, there is not much progress. According to the inference, both the English side and John Stewart have a great motive for committing the crime. The problem is that the clues we have obtained show that the two biggest suspects are actually both There is no evidence of the shot. England is too far away from the incident, and John Stewart and the nobles he contacted did not accept the injury ... so, now we ca n’t determine who killed the king ... "

"In other words, you can't confirm that John Stewart is guilty?"

Prime Minister Alex nodded and said:

"Yes, we can't find evidence that John Stewart assassinated His Majesty. However, the sentence of those assassins leaving to return to Lord Duke makes it difficult for him to elute the suspicion!"

After listening to it, Queen Margaret thought a little, and said:

"Is it possible that the Englishmen deliberately stolen John Stewart? You know, if it was really someone sent by John Stewart, there was no reason to keep the dozen injured knights alive. They kept those knights undead, right? Just to pass on this sentence? Alive, is this sentence misleading us at all? "

After thinking carefully, Prime Minister Alex said:

"Queen, what you said makes sense, but the question is, if the Englishmen stolen, why can't our people search for traces of them going south? And, from the Gobridge valley south, there is a road. The rest are all The mountains are so high that ordinary people can hardly climb over. Therefore, it is unlikely that the English are murderers ... "

Ales said very reasonable, but where did he know that Kahn and the 50 wolves he brought were also commandos, all from the southern mountains of Germany. Kahn grew up in the Black Forest from an early age, but the Black Forest is surrounded by mountains, and Kahn has been traversing mountains and ridges since he was a child, as are other wolf commandos. After taking off the plate armor and burying it, they lightly put into battle and went all the way back to England, not difficult.

Queen Margaret frowned. After thinking for a while, she finally made up her mind ...

"Sir Prime Minister, what do you think is the most important thing in Scotland now?"

Alex was stunned and replied:

"Of course it is to find out the murderer who assassinated His Majesty the King and avenge His Majesty!"

Queen Margaret shook her head and said:

"No, I think the most important thing for the Kingdom of Scotland right now is to guarantee the undead!"

"Guarantee that the country will not die? Do you mean ..."

Queen Margaret explained:

"If there is no threat from foreign enemies, the most important thing in Scotland right now is to find out the real murderer of His Majesty the King. However, the English are on the side and have long coveted the land of Scotland, so ..."

"Are you worried that the English will take the opportunity to invade Scotland?" Ales frowned as he thought of this.

"Yes, whether the assassination of His Majesty was done by the English or not. But as long as Edward heard that the King of Scotland was dead, he didn't leave any heirs ... Lord Prime Minister, you said, would he let this great opportunity pass? ? "

"No! I understand, Queen, I will start issuing orders to conduct a nationwide conscription!" Prime Minister Alexis stood up.

In the case that the main force of Scotland is still being detained by England, if you want to withstand the attack of the English, you can only mobilize all the remaining strong men in Scotland to resist the invasion of the English army.

Of course, those farmers and herders who have never received military training may not be rivals of the British army on the frontal battlefield. However, this time Scotland only wanted to fight the guards, and could rely on the city walls and forts. Therefore, even the civilians have the opportunity to defend the city and pass.

But Queen Margaret stopped him:

"Wait, Lord Prime Minister!"

"What's wrong, queen?"

"Did you forget what time it is now? It's spring cultivation now!"

Scotland has high latitudes, and spring cultivation has just begun in April. If the whole people are mobilized, stop plowing the spring ... In the fall, you will be out of grain ...

After thinking about it, Alex said:

"I was negligent, so I will send people to the northern highlands to gather the strong men among the herdsmen and gather up a group of troops first. As for those farmers, they will be called after the spring cultivation is finished. Guard the pass and the main way. Those farmers who are recruited later are mainly responsible for guarding Edinburgh! "

"Sir Prime Minister really handles it well! But did the Prime Minister forget something?" Queen Margaret reminded.

"Forgot something?" Alex was puzzled.

Queen Margaret sighed and said straight:

"Sir Prime Minister, if Scotland wants to not be coveted by England, it must have its own king! Only with the king, without giving Edward any chance, the English talent will stop coveting Scotland!"

Margaret was right in saying this, but unfortunately, she did not know that James IV had signed a treaty with Edward before he left London, "If both parties have one heir, they can inherit each other's throne". In other words, Edward is determined to eat Scotland, regardless of whether the Scots recommend a new king. Of course, this matter is still unclear in Scotland. Unlucky James IV didn't have time to rush back home to tell everyone this "good news", he was killed by Kahn ...

Prime Minister Alex did not have time to know this clause ~ www.novelhall.com ~ For Queen Margaret, after thinking about it, he also agreed:

"Yes, Queen, you are right. As long as there is no monarch in Scotland for one day, King Edward of England will certainly covet Scotland. But, Queen, who should we be king?"

"According to pedigree, should it be John Stewart?"

"Theoretically this is the case, but the problem now is that he is still a major suspect in the murder of His Majesty James. If he is allowed to become king, he is worried that many people will be dissatisfied. Moreover, he has just returned from France and has no foundation at all in Scotland. Push him to the throne, he may not be seated on the throne ...... "Prime Minister Alex said anxiously.

It is true that although John Stewart has a noble lineage, he has no foundation in Scotland because he just returned from France. Even if he became a king, no one would support him.

If in peacetime, John Stewart may be able to rely on time to integrate the entire Kingdom of Scotland and finally complete control of the Kingdom of Scotland.

However, now that England is watching, it will not give John Stewart time. If there was no unity within Scotland during the invasion of England, it would definitely be a dead end ...

But at this moment, Queen Margaret suddenly said:

"Sir Prime Minister, if ... I mean if, if I marry John Stewart? Now the Guards of Edinburgh are supporting me. If I marry John Stewart, he will immediately have enough support ... … "Edinburgh's Imperial Guard is the most elite of the remaining troops in Scotland. Moreover, it is in Edinburgh and controls the capital of Scotland ...

"Can it still be like this?" Prime Minister Alex was suddenly stunned by the kind of anger of Queen Margaret ...
