Christian II, Princess Margaret's father, has been imprisoned for more than twenty years.
It was not the action of a usurper, but a spontaneous act of the Danish nobles, just because this guy made everyone angry when he was in power.
He was also responsible for the "Stockholm Massacre". On his third day as King of Sweden, he trapped Swedish nobles in the name of holding a banquet and killed 2 bishops, 3 mayors, 14 town councilors and many scholars in one go.
Rich businessman.
Trapping and killing is an extremely despicable political method and has been despised at all times and in all countries.
What's even more ridiculous is that he offended the church, nobles, and businessmen, but was unable to eradicate them. He only arrested a group of noble widows and returned them to Denmark, and also behaved very disgracefully to these widows.
The conflict between the two countries was detonated, the Swedish people rose up to resist, and Gustav I was elected king!
After losing the throne of Sweden, Christian II returned to Denmark and continued to commit suicide. He promulgated a series of progressive bills, granting the people at the bottom the right to education, restricting the privileges of nobles and priests, breaking the monopoly of German merchants, and prohibiting buying and selling.
Serf... If these bills could be enforced, he would be a great reformer.
But he couldn't figure out the priorities, so he threw out all the reforms at once, and was finally overthrown by the Hanseatic League (merchant organization) and the country's nobles.
"Fight in and save the king!"
Christian II was reading the Bible when he suddenly heard loud shouts of murder outside. He was so frightened that he thought his death was imminent. He was afraid that his body would be missing, so he untied his belt and planned to find a place to hang himself.
die.
"boom!"
The door was suddenly smashed open, and a group of low-level people rushed in and cheered to him: "Your Majesty, the princess has led the troops to fight back. We will rescue you right now!"
In the eyes of the lower class people in Denmark, Christian II was a holy king who significantly improved the lives of common people during his reign.
After two kings were replaced, the people's life became more and more miserable, and the memory of the old king became more and more profound.
Christian II's neck was stuck into the waistband of his trousers. Hearing this, he retracted his head and said happily: "Is Maggie really back?"
A small businessman said: "Yes, Your Majesty, the princess has defeated the usurper. When we heard the news, we came to rescue you immediately. We hope that you will still be the king. Only when you are here can we small businessmen survive."
Go down, now the business in Copenhagen has been completely controlled by the Germans."
Christian II said: "Don't worry, I will make the decision for you. Small businessmen can abide by the law and do business, farmers' sons can also learn knowledge, and serfdom will not exist in civilized countries."
A group of lower-class people surrounded the old king and went out. They presented the most exquisite clothes and hammered out simple crowns with iron bars. They laughed and laughed along the way as if they were celebrating a festival.
The king's castle was surrounded by people, and the queen and her children were trembling.
Suddenly, a shout came from the direction of the pier: "The princess is back, the princess is back!"
Christian II immediately turned around and walked toward the pier, smiling and saying: "My people, follow me to welcome the princess back home."
Then, he became stupid...
Wang Ji rode a tall horse and walked at the front. Princess Margaret and the pirate's daughter Li Cuiwei (real name Li Cui) followed on horseback to the left and right respectively. Behind them were nearly 10,000 well-armed soldiers, those defecting troops.
At this time, he also followed.
"Father?"
Margaret was stunned, a little unrecognizable. When she fled Copenhagen, she was still a little girl, and her father was in his prime, but now it was a bad old man who appeared in front of her.
The rebel nobles also saw Christian II, and then they all looked at Wang Ji with strange expressions.
Wang Ji seemed to have no idea, and suddenly smiled. He asked: "Ma Qi, is this your father?"
"Yes..." Margaret suddenly changed her mind and whispered, "I will persuade my father to give up the throne."
The fact that a girl is outgoing doesn't explain the problem. Margaret just doesn't want to see her father die tragically. Her original intention is to save her father so that he can enjoy his old age freely.
Wang Ji smiled even brighter: "If he really wants to be king, let him do it."
A king who can trap and kill dozens of nobles to get rid of his opponents is not an indecisive person.
A king who can promulgate countless laws to benefit the people and constantly centralize power is not an incompetent person.
Christian II's weakness is that he is too impulsive and does not consider the worst consequences before doing things. He has been imprisoned by the nobles for twenty years, his impulsive temper has been cured long ago, and he has thought enough. At this moment, when he saw Wang Ji
With the army behind him, the old king suddenly felt as if he had fallen into an ice cave.
Forcibly suppressing the fear in his heart, Christian II stepped forward and said with a smile: "Maggie, are you?"
Margaret got off her horse and held the old king's hands: "Father, it's me."
Christian II had no time to reminisce with his daughter, so he looked at Wang Ji and said, "Maggie, this is..."
Margaret said: "Father, this is my husband, Wang Ji, the son of the King of India."
Christian II smiled and said: "Hello, handsome and brave Indian prince, thank you for defeating the shameless usurper."
Wang Ji dismounted and said, "This is what I should do as a husband."
Christian II took off the iron crown on his head, feeling a little reluctant, but looking at the army behind Wang Ji, he suddenly turned around and said to the Danish people: "The brave and fearless Indian prince defeated the shameless usurper.
Moreover, he has married my daughter, so I should pass him on as king."
The scene fell silent instantly, and the Danish people looked at Wang Ji blankly.
Christian II said to Wang Ji again: "When you wear this crown, can you continue my decree to benefit the people?"
Wang Ji smiled and said: "I will do more, otherwise I will not be a real king."
Christian II immediately understood, laughed, stretched out his hands, put the iron crown on his son-in-law, and whispered: "Young man, kill those local nobles and the Hanseatic League bastards.
Ten years of imprisonment cannot be wasted!"
As small as the three Nordic countries, as large as the entire Europe, all kings want to centralize power, but unfortunately only a handful of people can do it, and the king often returns to the original state after his death.
Christian II is already old, and his only child, Princess Margaret, is still alive.
So what if he continues to be king?
Not to mention the illness, he will not be able to have a son yet, and sooner or later the throne will be passed on to his daughter, and he may even die of illness in two or three years.
In this case, it would be better to pass the throne directly to Wang Ji. After all, this Indian prince has a strong army and horses. As long as Wang Ji has a strong strategy, he must centralize power and fall out with the Hanseatic League. At that time, he can be avenged.
The revenge of twenty years of imprisonment.
Wang Ji smiled and said: "As you wish, I will take action soon."
Christian II pointed to the castle: "Let's go in first, we may need to use your soldiers."
When they met for the first time, the father-in-law and his father-in-law were in good spirits, which surprised the nobles who had defected.
Suddenly, a soldier ran over crazily: "The Swedes took advantage of the situation and have already attacked Norway!"
