Julius II cleared his throat and said:
"I've been sitting here for a long time. You both have different opinions and can't argue. It sounds like what you said makes sense, but in fact, your requests have been over..."
At this time, everyone's eyes at the Pope changed, and many people were shocked to think:
"Is His Majesty the Pope really going to say 'just'?"
Then, Julius II's words confirmed their thoughts:
"Although Marin is the justice side in this war, he won..."
Many people suddenly realized that they were indeed standing up for Marin, and they labeled Marin the label of "justice" from the beginning. Of course, this is not a partiality with Marin. Because Marin is indeed the attacked side, not the invading side, and there is nothing wrong with it.
"But, his requirements are too high..." Julius II said slowly.
Julius II's words resonated with most of the princes on the court, and everyone nodded in agreement. On the side, Marin, as the protagonist, looked at Julius II with shock, as if he couldn't believe it... In fact, this was of course the expression Marin pretended to be...
However, for some reason, the princes felt very happy when they saw Malin's unbelievable expression of grievance...
Julius II continued:
"It is no problem to ask Denmark to ced the Jutland Peninsula. After all, although the Jutland Peninsula is not small, it does not involve sensitive issues. Speaking of which, this is a territory. After all, the core area of ​​Denmark is in the Island of Zeland! Ceding the Jutland Peninsula will reduce the area of ​​the Kingdom of Denmark a lot, but it does not touch the core area of ​​Denmark..."
Many princes present also nodded, thinking that what Julius II said was reasonable...
"but……"
Julius II made a turning point and continued:
"It would be a bit too much for Marin to want the Kingdom of Norway!"
Suddenly, the atmosphere at the venue became warm. Many princes who had opposed Marin's request for the Norwegian Kingdom said proudly:
"I just said that this guy Marin is so greedy to want the Kingdom of Norway. Just because of him, he is also a king?"
King Hans, who had been sitting next to him without any say, even stood up excitedly and shouted:
"His Majesty the Pope is wise!"
For him, the Pope's statement may have allowed him to keep a kingdom and a crown. How can he not be excited? Who dislikes the crown? He is even ashamed of the previous suspicion that Pope Julius II and Marin were "in union"...
Looking at the excited father-in-law, Jockim I, the Elector of Brandenburg, was indifferent. In fact, he knew this scene at noon. Because Marin discussed with him when he would come out as a child caregiver. Then, he could waive half of the ransom...
Moreover, Marin took the initiative to cut the territory by half, which made Jokiem I very satisfied. Although it was painful to lose a wealthy city like Stendal, it was also a surprise to obtain the Besco area (Oder-Shpley County) in the southeast of Berlin.
After all, the Besco area is right next to the southeast of Berlin, which is indeed a safety hazard. Marin and he analyzed at noon that the Besco area is too close to Berlin, which is not conducive to Berlin's safety.
In fact, Jokiem I's grandfather had considered exchanging the Besco region with the land west of the Elbe River and the Saxony Electoral. But at that time, Saxony was about to be rich Stendal, which made Jokiem I's grandfather reluctant to let go. Therefore, the transaction was abandoned. If the Saxony people were willing to exchange the Besco region for the Salzweidel (the later Salzweidel-Altmark County), the exchange might have been completed long ago.
Now, Stendal's loss seems inevitable. Marin's integrated land plan made him use the Salzvedel region to the Besco region, which seemed to be at a disadvantage. After all, there is no threat from other countries around Berlin.
Moreover, with Marin, we can save a lot of compensation, which is also what the poor man Jokiem I value...
As for doing this, he would cheat his father-in-law and Frederick III, so he wouldn't care. Besides, if he doesn't say it, Marin doesn't say it, who knows?
Julius II continued to speak:
"The change of regimes in a kingdom is a big deal for the whole of Europe! Although the Kingdom of Norway is small in population and is located in remote Nordic Europe, it is also a kingdom! The Norwegian crown is also a real crown, without adulteration, and it was recognized by the Holy See!"
"Malin wants to defeat Denmark, but he wants the other party to ced a kingdom, or even a crown... I think this is inappropriate. Or, Marlin, you are too greedy..."
"You know, greed is one of the original sins. For now, you can't bear the weight of the crown!" Julius II said to Marin with a righteousness.
And Marin also had tears in her eyes, as if she was very aggrieved...
In fact, taking advantage of the opportunity when everyone was watching Julius II just now, Marin applied the cut onion hidden in her sleeve to the edge of her eyes, which made her eyes start to cry... Fortunately, everyone else stood far away from Marin, otherwise she would smell the smell of onion...
Marin looked very aggrieved and said:
"Sir Pope, but I have such a powerful army, capable of conquering a kingdom, and have the confidence to hold it!"
But Julius II shook his head firmly and said:
"That's not possible. The crown is very precious in Europe. Look, what is the area of ​​the Grand Duchy of Lithuania? It has a large population and can be regarded as a European power. However, they do not have the title of a kingdom and lack a crown. Therefore, in Europe, the crown is extremely precious. With your current situation, you are not worthy of wearing a crown..." In fact, what Julius II really wants to say is that with your current strength, you can't still keep the crown...
Moreover, Julius II was also very cunning, and his words were very cautious - he only said that Marin was not worthy of wearing the crown at present, but did not say that Marin was not worthy of wearing the crown...
The meaning of these two is completely different. Not worthy at the moment means that they may be worthy in the future. If they are not worthy, they mean that they are completely ineligible...
As his father-in-law, Julius II naturally hopes that Marin will wear the crown one day. Therefore, he cannot leave a message and says that Marin is not worthy now. When he crowns Marin in the future, he will not be accused of breaking his promise...
When Marin heard Julius II say this, he seemed very excited and aggrieved. Many close princes saw that Marin seemed to have tears in his eyes - Marin seemed very aggrieved, and was almost crying...
"It turns out that he is a big boy. He wants to cry when he feels wronged..." Many people thought disdainfully.
However, seeing Ma Lin wanted to cry, many princes felt so comfortable that they wanted to scream?
Julius II took a sip of water, moistened his throat, and continued:
"As for the land you asked to cede Brandenburg and Saxony, I also think you want a little more!"
"Ah?" Marin cooperated with the low-profile and looked shocked, as if he was a little confused...
Julius II continued:
"You have to ced the land area equivalent to a principality, which is too high!"
"Maybe it's nothing for you to cede such a large land area. Because Brandenburg's electorate is already very large. But Saxony's electorate is different. Saxony's electorate has been divided into two countries through the Treaty of Leipzig. Frederick's electorate is not as much as you do now. If you want to cut off half of the land, wouldn't it take someone's life?"
Although Frederick III next to him was wondering why Julius II spoke for him instead of Marin, he nodded desperately at this time:
"The Pope is right. It would be better to kill me than to cut half of Saxony's land!"
Julius II looked at Frederick III and turned around and said:
"So, Marin, you cut half of your request for land cedes between the two countries!"
"Cut half? That's a lot of land..." Marin looked extremely reluctant...
"Do you listen to my opinion?"
"I...I..." Malin looked extremely reluctant, his eyes were filled with tears, as if he had suffered a great grievance. However, the princes loved to see Malin's grievance...
Frederick III was a little confused. He always felt something was wrong. But at this moment, Jokiem I, who had been silent, suddenly stood up and shouted:
"Long live the Pope, your decision is so wise, I, Jokiem, fully support your decision!"
His noisy look shocked everyone, and interrupted Frederick III's thoughts, who seemed to think of the truth...
Jokim I continued to raise his arms and shouted:
"Cut half, cut half!"
The princes didn't understand why, but they looked very unfavorable to Marin. So they shouted:
"Cut half, cut half!"
"Cut half!"
"half……"
"Half……"
Against the backdrop of noisy, Marin seemed to accept Pope Julius II's decision in a very aggrieved manner.
Before signing, Malin lowered his head and lay on the table, as if crying...
"Haha, this kid Marin is so powerful in war. Unexpectedly, after suffering from grievances, he was still crying and was not ashamed!"
"Yeah, yeah! Or, let's call him 'Wroughter Marin'?" someone suggested.
"It's amazing!'Woman Marin', this title is good!"
Then, the name of Marin's "Wroughter" spread throughout the venue. Everyone happily signed the contract and recognized the "fair" judgment of the Pope. Even Frederick III, who was interrupted, and Hans, a little confused, signed the contract in a daze, acknowledged its legal effect.
Moreover, as a "compensation" for Marin, Pope Julius II proposed that Elector of Brandenburg Jockim I and Elector of Saxony Frederick III promised to give Marin three opportunities to vote in the Imperial Parliament...
Because his mind was so chaotic, Frederick III agreed casually and signed the letter. But Marin was very happy because Marin did not intend to spend these three opportunities casually, but planned to use these three opportunities in an extremely important imperial meeting - such as the throne election...
Just as everyone was discussing Marin's indecent nickname "Cryer", Marin sneered in his heart - "Cryer? Humph, I have made a lot of benefits. As long as I give it enough benefits, let alone crying, I am willing to even roll on the ground!"
