On the second day of the Great Trial, most of the nobles of the Henry VII clan, including their families, were taken to the execution ground.
The execution ground is located in the square at the southwest gate of the Tower of London. On this day, there were crowds of people here. The people of London came to visit the grand occasion of the beheadings of the former king and the former nobles...
With a command, the executioners waved the axes in their hands and slashed hard at the necks of Henry VII and others. For a moment, blood splattered...
Henry VII, Thomas Stanley and other men were beheaded, and they were all silent. But those women and children were beheaded, which made them very worried. When the women and children were pressed on the guillotine, they kept crying and begging for mercy. Even the cruel Marin saw it, they couldn't bear it. Even Edward, who gave the order, couldn't help but close his eyes...
However, both of them knew the truth that "cutting grass without eradicating the roots, the spring breeze was blowing and reborn again." Back then, wasn't the reason why Henry VII was able to raise the banner to oppose Richard III because Henry VII was alive? If Henry VII was killed when he was a child, then there would be no such thing as a mess. After all, ancient Europe was very particular about bloodline. Without royal bloodline or aristocratic bloodline, no one would pay attention to anything. Even if you raise your arms and shout, you would just be regarded 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, young and old 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 committing 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 bloody letter with resentment, Edward was stunned for a long time, sat on the throne without moving for a long time, and kept muttering to himself:
"Am I wrong? Am I wrong..."
"No, your majesty, you are right!" Marin said firmly. The mess in England still needs Edward to clean up, and he doesn't want to see Edward sink.
"But my cousin's resentment towards me before his death was so deep...I..." Edward almost cried.
Marin quickly said seriously:
"No, Your Majesty, if your sister Margaret and I had not tried to replace you from the Tower of London, you would have been cut off your head in the winter of 1497! And those who you ordered to kill yesterday would ignore your blood and drink happily... The battle for the throne would be extremely bloody! The winner is the king, and the loser is the bandit!"
"The winner is the king, and the loser is the enemy?" Edward repeated Marin's words and finally woke up.
"Yes, Your Majesty, this is a common saying of the Eastern Empire! It means that history is written by successful people. Your Majesty, you have succeeded, so in history books, Henry VII and others will be infamous for thousands of years, and you will surely shine for thousands of years..."
Edward thought for a long time, nodded and said:
"I understand, but... this blood letter... my reputation..."
Marin's eyes were full of evil light and said:
"Tear, 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 were all evil seeds that Henry VII forced her to give birth to, and she would die more than anything else! As for the reason why Princess Elizabeth committed suicide...it was said to have a son for her enemy and was ashamed of the ancestors of the York family..."
Edward was shocked:
"Are you going to forge a suicide note? But 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 came to deal with this matter..."
"Very good, I'll deal with them secretly. As for the fake suicide note, I'll do it!"
After saying that, Marin once again used the ability to imitate handwriting with the buddy who made fake certificates in his previous life, began to imitate the blood he sent from the square, imitate Queen Elizabeth's handwriting, and wrote a fake suicide note...
An hour later, Edward took two true and fake suicide notes, looking left and right, and was very surprised...
"this……"
"Don't be surprised, Your Majesty, this is just a small trick..." Marin said lightly.
Edward thought about it and tore the real suicide note to pieces...
...
On the third day, Edward invited London citizens and representatives from the Foreign Chamber of Commerce to participate in his throne ceremony. Because he could not find a foreign envoy to watch the ceremony, Edward simply invited members of the investigation team sent by the Holy See who had not left London and participated in the throne ceremony as a foreign guest...
In the investigation team sent by the Pope, there were French and Scots. They were half threatened by Marin's soldiers and participated in the bloody throne ceremony as "foreign guests".
The starting point of the throne ceremony was still in the big square outside the southwest gate of the Tower of London, where thousands of nobles had just been killed yesterday. Although with the efforts of the people and the heroes, all the bodies and blood had been cleaned up in the square, the air was still filled with an extremely strong smell of blood...
In order to cover up this smell and prevent the plague from growing, Marin has sent people to sprinkle a lot of quicklime on the square. However, it still cannot cover up the bloody smell...
But Edward himself didn't care. He even wiped the blood from the crown that had been taken from the head of the murdered Henry VII, and thought it was unnecessary...
"The regicide will eventually be punished by God, and it is God's arrangement that I can survive and kill all the regicides!" Edward shouted loudly on the platform with a golden scepter in his hand.
"They have a lot to die! And I will become kings of England and Ireland according to God's arrangement!" Edward looked at the guillotine in the center of the square with contempt, and shouted confidently.
"Long live the king!" Marin took the opportunity to lead the rhythm with his English soldiers.
"Long live the king!" This was the arrangement of the people and the people shouted.
"Long live the king!" The people of London were finally brought to the rhythm...
Amid the cheers of the people, Edward took his wife Anna's hand, set out from the square, boarded the carriage, and under the escort of Marin's tens of thousands of troops, he went to Westminster Abbey, where William Wallum, the Archbishop of Canterbury, who was frightened and trembling, put the blood-stained crown on his head. Then, Edward took a crown of the queen from William Wallum and put it on his wife Anna...
In fact, William Wallum was the Archbishop whom Henry VII supported and was not from Edward's side at all. Even William Wallum himself was unwilling to crown Edward.
Originally, William Wallum wanted to use the authority of the Holy See and reject Edward. Because he did not think Edward dared to go against the Holy See and the Holy See.
However, Marin didn't give him any face at all. Marin tied up all William Wallum's relatives and brought them to William Wallum, threatening:
"Either help His Majesty Edward crown, or you and your entire clan will die!"
Faced with Marin's almost open 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 the Pope?"
"Master Pope? Ahhaha... If I kill your entire clan, the Pope will not punish me!" Marin said arrogantly.
And right next to it, Pastor Gerone, the representative of the investigation team sent by the Holy See, pretended not to see it, raised his head, and began to carefully observe the structure of the church's dome...
"Sir, this person is very disrespectful to the Holy See, do you ignore it?" William Wallum asked the Holy See delegation for help.
However, Pastor Gerone directly blamed:
"I saw nothing, nor heard nothing!" Pastor Gerone was a close subordinate of Julius II, so he naturally knew the intimate relationship between Marin and Julius II. Therefore, when Marin threatened to kill the entire Archbishop of Canterbury, he directly chose to pretend not to see...
Seeing that even the envoys of the Holy See were not caring about Marin's barbaric behavior, Archbishop William Wallum of Canterbury had to surrender. So, when he put Edward on the blood-stained crown, he was still trembling and had not yet recovered from his fear...
After putting on the bloody crown, Marin quickly presented the King's Sword found from Henry VII's palace. Edward handed over the golden scepter to Queen Anna, and raised the King's Sword and said loudly:
"The blood of England has dried up, the true king has returned! The glorious era of England has arrived!"
"Long live!"
"Long live!"
"Long live!"
