Roger knew that he could not beat Elvira, but he couldn't stand it and felt that he could still struggle for a while. He said noddedly:

"Dear, we need to fight in literature, not fight in martial arts, we can't escape the same truth..."

"Reason! Then I ask you, if you don't fight with the Arabs to the south, you are all your relatives to the north. If you go north, will you fight the Pope? If you don't fight anyone, why do you want such a large army?"

"Sicil also needs military defense..."

"Did you forget your viscount and baron? You are the earl, and you can call them to fight!"

"But the recruitment has a deadline, and you have to let them go back in at most two months..."

"Can't you recruit in batches? One nobleman has two months, and six nobles have people in just one year? I don't understand, what do you want to maintain such a large standing army?"

Roger came out of the way. He couldn't reason, but he couldn't beat him. What else could he do?

"Report!"

A knight came running up with a small wooden barrel containing letter paper.

He shouted, "Immediate!"

Muttier stepped forward to take it, he looked carefully at the seal on the wooden barrel, then opened it, and then looked carefully at the wax seal and the emblem on the rolled parchment paper.

Then he handed the letter to Roger, who said:

"Sir, I am from Jerusalem, the emblem of Adelaide, right."

Roger took the letter and opened it. He first looked at the signature and handwriting. It was indeed written by Adelaide.

Then, he roughly looked at the contents of the letter, which were all trivial matters.

Moreover, the sentences are inconsistent and incoherent, and the words are spelled incorrectly. Some words should have "m" at the beginning, but they are actually written as "x".

If an irrelevant person sees this letter, he will definitely sneer at the writing style of the writer.

But Roger immediately became serious.

He said: "Cleaning the ground, all servants go out, Henk, if anyone dares to approach this room, they will be seized."

Then Roger took the pen and used the "Second Five-Year Plan" with almost only the title as draft paper. In the order he remembered in his heart, he began to copy letters with letters.

Soon, a letter with a completely different content appeared on paper.

Roger looked at the letter he wrote, his face was solemn and he fell into trouble.

"Honey."

Elvira's slightly worried call made Roger wake up.

Roger thought, as the saying goes, three cobblers, who are better than Zhuge Liang, have a bunch of confidants, why not let them give advice for themselves?

So Roger handed the things he wrote to everyone to pass on, and he said at the same time:

"Adelaide's secret letter, she said Baldwin was seriously ill.

"She was not sure what Baldwin had, and now Baldwin locked herself in a monastery and saw no one, including her.

"But according to the doctor who bribed Adelaide, it should be leprosy, and the situation is very bad."

Muttier interrupted, “The word 'leprosy' comes from the Hebrew zarrath in the Bible, meaning inaccessible.”

"Muthiyi, thank you for your comments, but I hope to get suggestions now."

Dulles intercepted: "Baldwin is dead.

"Leprosy is a curse, he will slowly rot and eventually die.

"I've heard seamen chatting at the docks, and this is an incurable terminal illness."

Roger knew that leprosy could be treated for later generations, but in this era, it was indeed an incurable disease.

He said: "Thank you, Dulles, have the sailors ever said how long it will take to die from this disease?"

"I can't say that I may die in a few months, or I may suffer for more than ten years."

Roger sighed, this was the problem he was struggling with just now.

"Dear, why worry, Adelaide did not give birth to Baldwin's children. Now that he has leprosy, it is even more impossible for him to have children.

"According to the agreement, when Baldwin dies, his throne of Jerusalem will be yours, it's nothing more than the difference between waiting for a few months and waiting for more than a decade."

Danny interrupted, “Madam, things are not that simple.

“The king of Jerusalem is different from other secular kings.

"I heard from the knights who returned from the expedition that they had established the Kingdom of Jerusalem after they had recovered Jerusalem from the pagans.

“Godfrey, Earl of Boulong, stayed behind and ruled Jerusalem and the surrounding areas.

"When Raymond, the territorial crusade of Ruth, refused to be the king of Jerusalem, Godfrey ascended the throne.

“But he did not use the title of king, but chose a title in the Holy City: ‘Guardian of the Holy Sect’.

"After Godfrey's death, his younger brother Baldwin, Earl of Edsar, came to Jerusalem with his army.

"At the same time, there is also the adult's cousin Don Cred.

"Later, Doncred learned that his uncle Prince Bosimund was captured while attacking Sivas in the north, so he withdrew from the battle and returned to Antioch as regent.

"And another competitor, Archbishop of Jerusalem, Denbert, a Pisa man, photographed Baldwin's force and gave up.

“So at the Church of Nativity in Bethlehem, Archbishop Denbert crowned Baldwin as ‘the Latin King of Jerusalem’.

"So, sir, madam, just one agreement cannot guarantee the succession of the king of Jerusalem.

"If someone else gained the support of the Archbishop of Jerusalem after Baldwin's death, he could be king directly."

"So, my mother, Adelaide, was fooled by Baldwin?"

"You can't say that, at least this agreement will allow you, the master who has not participated in the Eastern Expedition, to compete for the king of Jerusalem."

“That is, I have to go to Jerusalem.”

"I'm afraid yes, sir."

"And, it's better to bring enough force like Baldwin did."

"That's right, sir."

"But when will I go? It's too late. It's too early. I'll wait for Baldwin to die, and wait for more than ten years?"

So everyone in the room was in trouble.

Roger is very regretful now.

He was not very interested in historical knowledge before, so he didn't pay attention to it when surfing the Internet.

Otherwise, he should have known exactly when Baldwin died.

"Dear, your mother Adelaide is a wise woman who will not send you a secret letter in a completely uncertain situation.

"I guess even if she is not sure, it shouldn't be much worse.

"I suggest you go there first. It's better to wait a little longer than to miss the opportunity.

"Just like when you came to Iberia to marry me, if you came earlier, maybe you are now the king."

Elvira's words made Roger determined, he said:

"Dear, you're right, I will never miss it again."

Roger, who had gotten rid of the tangled, was in a happy mood, and he even began to tease Elvira:

"How is it, your husband has a vision. In this case, can you recruit nobles who can only serve for two months? So, a standing army is necessary."

Elvira surrendered, and her obedience made Roger feel a sense of a real man's pride.

Roger's pride didn't last long.
