I was beheaded in the Middle Ages for 20 years

Isabella wrote this letter for this reason, which was indeed something Xu Siling had not expected.

Or to say, not only Xu Siling, but also John, Fei'er, Ella and others, they also did not expect that it would be related to this.

Father, like son.

Xu Siling tacitly agreed that she would not betray Fei'er, so he didn't even think about it.

The people around him think the same way.

Everyone knows that Xu Siling and Fei'er will prosper and suffer together.

Not to mention Xu Siling's loyalty to Fei'er, which is evident to all. If Xu Siling shows any sign that she could be swayed by others,

A bunch of people lined up to knock on Fei'er's corner.

But no one did it, or some people tried it and failed.

John also didn't think that Xu Siling would betray Fei'er. He had tried to win over Xu Siling before and said all those sweet words, but his wife Bonnie insisted on saying it.

John believed in his heart that Xu Siling was a good knight. A good knight takes honor as his spiritual belief and betrays his lord, which is something that a perfect knight would never do.

So when John saw the letter, he didn't even think about trying to win over the other party.

At this time, Xu Siling was also awakened by a word from Bonei, an outsider.

According to Bonnet's thinking, Isabella's "letter for help" immediately became much more reasonable.

No wonder the letter was so cordial and called Xu Siling nephew-in-law.

It turns out that he wanted to steal the girls from France and the Saint.

John hesitated: "Isabella, will she really not get into trouble? Is it possible that she is really asking Xu for help?"

It's not that John likes to question, but it's difficult for him to accept a loyal French royal woman who had previously supported Philip VI's ascension to the throne and forced her son to give up fighting for the French throne.

He would change sides at this time and choose to help his son.

Isabella is too much like her father, she is extremely controlling and has great confidence in France.

During her regency, her actions and words all proved that in her heart, the French royal family > her son Edward III > the British nobility.

If she didn't love her son, Isabella would have had the opportunity to depose her son as well when deposing the King of England.

But if Isabella loved her son and regarded him as everything, she should have supported her son in fighting for the French throne when Blanche's father died.

In the eyes of many people, Isabella is contradictory.

But in the eyes of the French royal family, Isabella was not contradictory.

The Capetian dynasty, especially the descendants of Philip IV, had great confidence in French orthodoxy.

During the reign of Philip IV, England was beaten by the collar, the Knights Templar were put to an end by him, and the Holy See became his running dog.

It is completely understandable that Isabella suppressed her own son for the sake of French orthodoxy.

But Xu Siling knew
People always change.

Not to mention a mother.

Bonnet thought for a while and shook his head: "I don't think so. Edward III would not be too bad to Isabella. If he was really bad, she should have written to the late king a long time ago instead of choosing this time to write to Mr. Siling."

John was skeptical.

But Xu Siling believed Bonei's answer.

The reason is simple.

Historically, Isabella loved her son very much, and Edward III also loved his mother very much.

The reason England was the way it was at that time was because his father was a homosexual.

Edward III regained power, kicked Isabella out of the regent position, executed Isabella's lover Roger, but did not touch Isabella at all.

The historical Isabella died a peaceful death a few years later.

So Xu Siling knew very well that Isabella had not been abused or imprisoned by Edward III, so the letter for help seemed extremely funny to him.

However, Xu Siling, who was confused by the situation, did not realize that the letter was actually from Isabella, representing England, trying to win him over.

Bonet looked at Xu Siling and asked with a smile: "I believe Mr. Siling has already had an idea, what do you think?"

"I certainly do not believe that Isabella would be ill-treated by Edward III."

John pursed his lips: "So now I have to suspect that Isabella betrayed her country and helped England to poach my French people?"

Bonnet said helplessly: "My husband, Isabella has been an English person since the day she married to England. If Blanche's father had not died, perhaps this statement would not be necessary. But if Blanche's father had not died, how could you be the king now?"

Family conflict.

After all, the Hundred Years' War between England and France looks like a family conflict.

Xu Siling was speechless.

"But I'm more curious now." Bonet held the letter and handed it back to Xu Siling: "What does Mr. Siling think?"

Xu Siling didn't answer immediately.

Bonnet smiled and continued, "I can understand Isabella's thoughts. She is the Queen of England and the mother of the King of England. The current situation is not friendly to England."

"France is united, the royal family and the nobility are on the same front, and even the Vatican supports the legitimacy of the Valois dynasty."

"Edward III was a ridiculous clown who had previously claimed to be the King of France."

"The British archbishops almost broke with the Vatican because of this matter."

"But just because the archbishop has the ability to break with the Vatican doesn't mean the people of England have no ears."

"Everything Edward III did was questioned by the people, and the nobles did not necessarily trust him, even though he and his Black Prince won the Battle of Crécy."

"pity."

"Edward III has no choice. Once he takes this path, there is no turning back. He must deny Miss Raya's status as a saint and deny all decisions made by the Holy See."

"Then here comes the question." Bonnet was extremely intelligent. "Ms. Raya's sainthood brought the Lord's grace to the entire world. The people of both countries were saved because of Miss Raya. Do you deny it?"

"What can Edward III use to deny Miss Raya's sainthood? It's ridiculous. This is not only a headache for Edward III, but I'm afraid that the archbishops in England are racking their brains day and night to come up with a good solution."

This is indeed true.

Faile is not like Joan of Arc.

Joan of Arc's becoming a saint during that period was more like a conspiracy performed by the French royal family and the Vatican.

Not to mention that during that period, France had suffered too much from successive defeats, and the French nobles no longer believed in the royal family.

France lost most of its territory.

Joan of Arc's becoming a saint was not fundamentally recognized by many believers. Even many French people did not believe that Joan of Arc was a saint, let alone the British people?
But Fei'er is different.

The benefits that Mayfair has brought are truly felt by the people.

The whole of Europe was ravaged by the Black Death, and people were infected and dying every day.

Law enforcement officers, lords, kings, clergymen, no one had a solution. No one could save the patients infected with the Black Death, and no one could control the Black Death.

Faye did it.

According to Edward III's denial of her identity, Faile was a typical woman who selfishly served the French royal family.

On the day that Fei'er was recognized as a saint by the Holy Church, she should not have spread the methods of curing and controlling the Black Death to the whole world. People in the Middle Ages had small brains, but small brains did not mean they could not think.

Fei'erzhen only served the French royal family. She could have kept the methods of treating and controlling the Black Death private and not let the British know.

The Black Death alone was enough to plunge England into a state of natural disaster and slump for a long time.

But Fei'er didn't do that.

This phenomenon makes Edward III's words completely untenable.

How to gain a foothold in public opinion during a war between two countries.

Edward III had to find a solution.

And the method is to dig out Xu Siling.

Not only Bonei thought of this, Xu Siling also understood everything after being enlightened.

Ever since Phil became a saint and openly expressed her support for the legitimacy of the Valois dynasty of French kings, Edward III no longer believed that he could make Phil defect.

His gaze shifted to Xu Siling.

Xu Siling is the perfect knight of France, the punitive knight of the Holy See, and the exclusive knight of the Saint.

His identity is special. To some extent, he can represent France, the Holy See, and the saint.

If Edward III could poach Xu Siling and make her defect.

Xu Siling stepped forward and spoke out on behalf of England to deny Faile's identity as a saint. This would be the only way for Edward III to win the war of public opinion.

It would be useless for anyone to deny Fei'er's identity as a saint.

Even the current Pope Innocent VI would be unable to deny her sainthood.

It’s too difficult and people won’t even believe it.

But what if Xu Siling denies Fei'er's identity?
It can pry open everything and revitalize the entire dead end of public opinion.

That's why Edward III asked his mother Isabella to write a letter, and he went through so much trouble to send the letter across the ocean to Xu Siling.

The letter was even more affectionate. Even though he and Blanche were not married, she still called him niece-in-law like a family member.

The smell of building relationships filled the entire letter.

Isabella was indeed asking Xu Siling for help, but she was not asking Xu Siling to save her, but the whole of England.

As for why Isabella chose to help her son at this time and no longer supported French orthodoxy?

This is easy to understand.

From Xu Siling's perspective, Edward III and his Black Prince are similar to John and Charles.

Both sides are extremely good.

France has an excellent king and an excellent heir to the throne.

The same is true in the UK.

Even Britain showed that it was no worse than John and Charles.

If Xu Siling did not know history, he would also think that Edward III and the Black Prince were better than John and Charles.

Edward III won many battles and dealt a heavy blow to France in the Battle of Crécy.

Not to mention Edward, the Black Prince.

On the contrary, John has only been on the throne for a short time, and has not made any impressive achievements either in government affairs or on the battlefield, and Charles has not even grown up yet.

There is no comparison between the two pairs of father and son.

If Xu Siling were Isabella, looking at the current situation between the two countries, she would choose to support her son. Naturally, no matter how much she missed the old France, she would not change her approach.

So what Bonnet said before.

If Xu Siling really wanted to go to England, not only would he not be stopped, but even the noble British knights would bow to him and lead the way.

So let’s get back to the topic.

Will Xu Siling go to England?

The reason why Bonei said so much was not to tell Xu Siling, but to help her stupid husband figure out the whole thing and let him keep Xu Siling.

As long as Xu Siling doesn't defect to England.

France's current situation is favorable at all times and in all places. How can it lose the war to England? Unless John is even more stupid than Philip VI.

John came to his senses and immediately held Xu Siling's arm and said seriously.

"Xu, you don't want to go to England, do you? I tell you, that's not possible. There's nothing good about England. The land is small and there's not enough food. Edward III is as stupid as a pig. Have you ever been on a ship? The wind there will make you vomit!"

Bonnet admitted that her husband was not good at persuading others.
But she knew very well that often it was John's sincerity that could move Xu Siling.

Unfortunately, Xu Siling doesn't need to be impressed by anyone.

"John, how could you think that I would betray Miss Raya? Putting aside this, you and the queen are both my friends, and both of you treat me the same way. I am also Charles' teacher. I can say that even if Edward III put a sword to my neck and asked me to change my loyalty, I would only reply to him, damn it."

John and Bonnet breathed a sigh of relief after receiving such an affirmative response from Xu Siling.

Xu Siling certainly would not jump to England, although historically, Britain is more trustworthy and supportive than France.

Unfortunately, compared with John and Charles, members of the British royal family, Xu Siling still prefers the latter a little more.

Edward III's father was a die-hard homosexual who broke up with the recognized beauty of France for the sake of his love for men.

Edward III himself was a promiscuous man. He would rape any woman who was asleep. He had many illegitimate children, not much worse than Clement VI.

As for the Black Prince? He is very capable in military affairs, but he is a foolish and jealous person when it comes to handling government affairs.

Compared to the grandfather, son and grandson in France.

Philip VI really did open the door to outrageousness - outrageous to the extreme.

But John is indeed a good man, who believes in chivalry and has no lovers, no bad fallacies, loves his family, and is extremely kind to the people. If there is a flaw, it is probably that he is too straight-minded and stupid, and can't turn around. But with Bonnie, this aspect is completely compensated.

As for Charlie? He's an even smarter kid.

Historically, he took over the mess left by his grandfather and father, and was able to turn the situation of the Anglo-French War around and achieve victory in the first stage. I'm afraid no one else could have done it.

It’s not that England doesn’t deserve Xu Siling’s support.

But John and Charlie are so good that Xu Siling doesn't need to go far away.

Can.
After understanding the purpose of Isabella's letter.

An extremely bold idea popped up in Xu Siling's mind.

If Bonnet hadn't woken him up, he wouldn't have wanted to go north across the ocean to England.

But now, he suddenly had the idea of ​​going north across the ocean.
The plan in his head was gradually becoming more complete, and his heart was becoming more and more excited.

This is a good opportunity.

The three of them chatted for a while, and then Xu Siling was taken into the mansion by the housekeeper to rest.

John and Bonnet looked at each other.

Without the outsiders, Bonnet could no longer hide the worry on his face. (End of this chapter)
