Chapter 405

The dialogue sounded from the stage. This was an opera written by Mircea's screenwriter for His Majesty the Emperor, based on the deeds of Constantine the Great.

"Why, father, I am loyal to you, why."

"You have committed a heinous crime, don't blame me for being cruel, all this is for the country."

The son played on the stage gradually fell down, and the actor who played the father said a lot of words to the audience, but in the end, he meant only one thing, I am not wrong.

Mircea looked at this play and then at the screenwriter. If he had not followed for many years, he would have suspected that it was a spy sent by other countries. He could also write a script to manipulate the relationship between father and son. What else could he be if not a spy?

But in history, Constantine really killed his eldest son on the grounds of adultery with his stepmother. But the eldest son was Constantine's most intelligent and most capable leader. If he was allowed to succeed to the throne, the dynasty would have survived for at least 50 years.

Mircea also got some information from it, that is, to maintain family harmony. Don't give the enemy a chance to take advantage of it.

"What is your Highness doing recently?"

"Your Majesty, your Highness is choosing a wife for your little prince. Go to the library when you have nothing to do."

For the eldest son, Mircea has nothing to teach him. The current government has entered a delicate state. Everyone knows that Peter will become emperor sooner or later, but no one knows how long this day will be.

"I will go home recently and let Peter take care of this place."

Mircea decided to go back to Wallachia and leave Peter in Constantinople to handle affairs. The emperor's tour of the country is conducive to strengthening the cohesion of the country, which is also the biggest thing he can do.

After watching the opera, Mircea returned to the bedroom to rest on a cane decorated with gems. Along the way, he was thinking about things that he tried his best to avoid, but he must not encounter them, otherwise the empire would be in danger.

Peter was choosing a wife for Alexander, and Stefan's wife came to Constantinople by boat. Her country is also the largest among the other sisters-in-law.

"Her Royal Highness the Princess of the Kingdom of France has arrived"

Michelle looked at the scenery of Constantinople and felt better, but when he thought about marrying someone he didn't know in a foreign country, he felt a little sad. '

She was the daughter of King Charles VI of France, and was married to the youngest son of the Roman Emperor as a tool for marriage when the French Civil War was raging. In order to piece together her dowry, Charles VI and his close ministers had taken out all the coins they could find in the castle, and collected 100,000 lei as a dowry and took the princess with them.

The princess performed a standard etiquette, and someone from Rome also came and expressed his blessings to the princess in French. Then he took the group to rest at their accommodation.

When he heard that his fiancée was coming, Stefan was unwilling to get married. He still wanted to go out to the vast outside world to make achievements, so how could he get married first?

"I won't go. I won't get married."

"It's not up to you. She's already here. She's a princess after all. You can't be so willful."

"Even if she's a duke, princess, or a king, I won't get married."

Peter was troubled by his stubborn fourth brother. He had to abide by this marriage. As long as he agreed, it would be his own business.

"I've said it's not up to you. You have to go today. The princess has already arrived."

After that, Peter asked the guards to carry Stefan to the princess's accommodation. I hope the princess can help. It would be best if Stefan could get married willingly. Even if that doesn't work, he has a backup plan.

The marriage with France means alliance or standing in line. England should also consider the possibility of Rome joining the war. They will not give up until it is completely successful.

Peter was actually involved in Stefan's marriage. France needed a strong ally to calm the two dukes of Burgundy and Orleans. Rome was the most suitable.

Charles VI had a mental illness, and he also carefully examined his daughter. If there was a problem, he would worry about whether she should go into exile.

This was also the first time that Rome had a marriage with France. As the heirs of Rome, the marriage of Michelle and Stefan strengthened the relationship between the two countries. They could even share the world equally.

Stefan was taken to see his fiancée, and he didn't have much thought. But when he looked at her up close, she smelled really good.

The princess of France also had a high status and used the best cosmetics. In addition, Michelle also paid attention to maintenance since she was a child, so her skin was very good.

The first time Stefan saw a Western princess, although she was very beautiful, he still had to keep a calm look. He said that he would consider it carefully and that marriage could not be sloppy.

In order to complete the task assigned by her father, Princess Michelle began to obey all Roman culture and converted to Orthodoxy the next day. She received the Eucharist on time and worked hard to learn the local language. What could she do? She could only try to please the emperor and others of the empire in this way.

The news of the French princess coming to Constantine spread throughout the city. In the eyes of Western Europeans, the French royal family is the most powerful royal family in Western Europe, and nobles from all countries are proud to speak French. Now that France is marrying the princess to the Roman Empire, it means that the two most powerful empires in the East and the West are about to form an alliance.

The king's sudden move also made the two dukes who were fighting a civil war nervous. The Duke of Orleans and the Duke of Burgundy finally thought that Rome would not intervene, but now this sudden marriage disrupted their plans.

In fact, this civil war is not only a personal feud between the two factions, but also a struggle for the regency of France. The current king has mental problems, and the crown prince is weak and sickly. The whole country has to be handed over to one or more nobles. Whoever can obtain the regency will have a greater chance of becoming the next king after the king's death.

The House of Orleans and the House of Burgundy are both from the Capet family, so they both have extremely weak claims to the throne. In order to strengthen their strength, they must defeat each other. All the nobles in the country can only choose sides, but now the sudden third choice will naturally make them nervous, worried that the things they have fought for with great difficulty will be taken away by others, so they have to end the war as soon as possible.

Unexpectedly, it was an ordinary marriage that finally stopped the war. The two dukes met in Dijon, the capital of Burgundy. The two sides signed a contract, the two factions stopped the war, and the two sides jointly organized a regency meeting to govern the kingdom. Except for the capital Paris, the two sides used the Loire River as a boundary and did not invade each other. This marked the end of the French Civil War.

This civil war once again hit France, and local agriculture withdrew again. Except for a few areas such as Burgundy, other places were wastelands, and Britain across the channel was already eyeing them covetously. The 20-year armistice was about to end, and a new war was about to break out.
