"The appropriate dose of arsenic is very effective in killing insects, so arsenic is one of the best products I sell in England. After all, no one likes to have bugs in their stomach, right? But in order to avoid someone using it at our house
The arsenic used to do bad things, I strictly require my clerks to control the amount of arsenic sold, but these people are always greedy, so one clerk was bribed by someone and sold a pound of arsenic directly to the person who bribed him.
If I hadn't discovered something was wrong when I checked the accounts, I might have been concealed by that damn guy; this pound of arsenic is not a small amount, it can poison thousands of people, so I went to investigate and buy it
home, it was discovered that he was actually a duke, but had been deposed after William the Conqueror arrived in England."
Zhang Jingxu took out more than ten copper coins from his pocket, divided them into two piles, and then took out a silver coin from his pocket and said: "In England now, the people who support and oppose William the Conqueror are like these two piles
Copper coins, if they fight, they will win evenly, and no one has an absolute advantage; and we are this silver coin, although we are not from the same side as them, but we can decide which side the balance of victory will lean to, so you understand what I mean
What do you mean?"
Looking at Zhang Jingxu with a smile on his face, Zhang Huanyu said with some confusion: "Well, haven't we already chosen to support William II? And the god who summoned us..."
Before Zhang Huanyu finished speaking, Zhang Jingxu interrupted: "What the gods want us to do is to end the mutation, not to completely restore history. What's more, look at the current situation, can a few of us time-travelers be able to correct it?
?Unless those of us who travel through time have a high per capita, so we have to think about ourselves! As for agreeing to William II, it is just because he came to me first. Now that the overall situation is not in chaos, I, a small businessman, still dare not offend this prince.
His Highness’s.”
Having said this, Zhang Jingxu stared at Mo Chen and said, "Since you know so much about the history of Europa, do you think William II is worthy of our support?"
“Not worth it!”
Mo Chen said without hesitation: "To be precise, William the Conqueror and his sons are not worthy of our support. First of all, William the Conqueror was an illegitimate son, and his mother was just an ordinary peasant girl. If his father hadn't only
If William the Conqueror was his son, he would not get the right to inherit the Duke of Normandy; but even if William the Conqueror did get the right to inherit, the local nobles in Normandy would not give him a good look, and his three teachers from childhood to seniority were all
He was murdered by others, so William the Conqueror grew up to be cold and suspicious, and we might not survive more than a few days if we took refuge with him."
"As for William II, his reputation in history is worse than that of his father because his orientation was different from ordinary people. He did not get married and have children until his death. At the same time, he was very fond of a man named Randolph... This is
Zhang Huanyu and I have seen it with our own eyes, so we can now confirm that William II has a habit of cutting off his sleeves, which is a taboo of Christianity. If someone uses this to attack William II and provides sufficient evidence, then
William II had only two choices - either voluntarily give up his position as King of England, or follow Henry IV's example and beat the Papal States again."
"In history, everyone knows that William II has a habit of cutting off his sleeves, but no one has come forward to talk about this. The main reason is that William II's brothers are gone, so no one can find a suitable successor.
William the Conqueror came to inherit the position of William II, so he could only pretend to be confused; but now it is different. Once William the Conqueror dies suddenly, England will enter the era of hegemony one step ahead of the Holy Roman Empire - William II
Along with his two brothers, descendants of the previous royal family and ambitious nobles will all come forward to compete for the position left by William the Conqueror."
At this time, Zhang Huanyu couldn't help but said: "When the time comes, William II's habit of cutting off sleeves is likely to turn into a war of public opinion. If William II doesn't clarify it in time, then he will be regarded as a 'sinner'
, when the time comes, other forces will all attack him, because they all have 'righteousness' in hand!"
"You are all right. William II is the person least worthy of our support, because his failure is foreseeable, but this does not affect our current relationship with him."
Zhang Jingxu clapped his hands, and after a while a servant came in from the door and handed Zhang Jingxu a roll of parchment.
Zhang Jingxu opened the parchment, and Zhang Huanyu and Mo Chen saw another map.
After Zhang Huanyu looked at it twice, he raised his head and said, "Is this the floor plan of the palace?"
"That's right." Zhang Jingxu said, "Originally, I was going to arrange for my men to sneak into the palace to get something useful to us, such as some secret letters, and to eavesdrop on some interesting news; but I'm here
The moment I saw you, I knew you were the best candidate, because no one would equate a cute kitten with a spy."
Mo Chen and Zhang Huanyu looked at each other, and then nodded towards Zhang Jingxu, because they knew very well that with their current situation, they could only choose to cooperate with Zhang Jingxu.
"Then we will cooperate happily."
Zhang Jingxu stretched out his hand and shook the paws of Zhang Huanyu and Mo Chen.
…
"I didn't expect that this Mo Chen actually studied history. No wonder he knows so much."
Liu Xing took Mo Chen's resume and said: "But having said that, why do I think Henry IV became the emperor of the Holy Roman Empire early because of Mu Yao, you made a mistake? I remember your history scores in high school, Mu Yao.
Have you always been hovering near the passing line?”
Facing Liu Xing's inquiry, Mu Yao snorted coldly and said: "So what? When I was writing this plot, I remembered that the history books said that Henry IV was the emperor of the Holy Roman Empire, so I wrote it like this
As a result, I suddenly thought of a question, that is, should the emperor of the Holy Roman Empire live in Constantinople or in the capital of his own kingdom. As a result, I found that Henry IV has not yet ascended the throne.
Emperor, so let Zhang Jingxu find a way to bring this plot back to life."
"Actually, it's nothing. Didn't Ye Yuanfeng and Cai Ji realize that something was wrong? After all, the history of medieval Europe is not a required subject for us." Yin En said with a smile.
PS: Well, I also forgot at the beginning that Henry IV was not Emperor of the HRE at the time of the Canossa Incident.
