Thinking that he might rule England in the future, his dream of dominating the world took a bigger step.

In the future, Prince Philip will be like Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty in Chinese history. He defeated France, made the Ottoman Empire slump at sea, and annexed Portugal. During the period of Philip II, historians often refer to this period as the hegemony of the Habsburg Dynasty Europe, Spain reached its heyday in his hands.

But later, his Invincible Fleet was defeated by England, and the Netherlands broke away from the rule of Spain. Unfortunately, after his death, there was no Emperor Xuan of the Han Dynasty to strengthen the country for him, and Spain inevitably began to decline.

It is undeniable that he is an ambitious and talented figure.

Philip, who was immersed in the activities in his heart, did not go to the maids and guards who were saluting on the road, and ran directly to the room of his father Charles I.

"His Royal Highness, please wait a moment!" The guard guarding the door saw that His Royal Highness was coming, and hurriedly bowed down.

"En!" Philip nodded lightly.

The guards didn't dare to delay, so they walked in quickly, bent down to Charles I who was still discussing with the palace minister, and said softly, "Your Majesty, Prince Philip please see me!"

When Charles I, who was dealing with the palace minister, heard the words, he raised his head and glanced at the guard who lowered his head to report, his brows frowned, and then disappeared.

"Your Excellency, the Prime Minister, wait a moment!" Charles I said to the smiling Palace Prime Minister with a blank expression on his face.

"Yes!" The palace minister's eyebrows were a little white, and he looked a little older, but Charles I was still very cautious when he was young.

"Tell him to come in!" Charles I looked at the guards and ordered casually.

The guard was instructed, raised his head, and hurried out of the room.

Soon, Prince Philip walked in slowly.

"Good day, my father!" Philip bowed to greet Charles I, and then saw the palace minister again, "Good day, my lord the palace!"

"Good day, Your Royal Highness!" Gong Lian quickly stood up and bowed to Prince Philip.

"Father, have you heard? The little king of England is sick!" Prince Philip looked at Charles I modestly and asked respectfully.

"Yes, I heard that he was seriously ill, but unfortunately he survived in the end!" Charles I said noncommittally, then looked at his son with a smile in his eyes, and asked, "Why? Are you interested in England? "

After being ill for a day, Edward recovered automatically, and the news spread that his body was just weak.

The common people may not know it, but he knows that the King of England's body is indeed fragile every day, and he may not have a chance to see God in a few years. These are no secrets to Charles I.

Faced with his father's question, Prince Philip knew that he was asking about Princess Mary's age, so he would think for a moment. He nodded without hesitation, looked at Charles I with piercing eyes, and said affirmatively: "Yes, father, England It is essential for us!"

"At least, it can bring a French crown to our Habsburg family, can't it?"

"That's right! The French crown, this is indeed a pleasant thing!" Thinking of this, Charles I laughed loudly, and the whole person suddenly became excited.

At this moment, he couldn't help but think of his old enemy, the rogue King Francois I of France. If he heard the news, he would probably be furious!

"Philip! If you don't mind, I agree to this matter!" Charles I looked at his handsome son, nodded in satisfaction, and exclaimed.

"Yes, father, it is my dream to own a French crown!" Prince Philip's eyes were bright, and the corners of his mouth were slightly raised.

Afterwards, Charles I turned his deep gaze to the Prime Minister beside him.

The grey-haired Prime Minister bowed his waist, noticed Charles I's gaze, and nodded quickly.

"Your Majesty, Your Royal Highness, I will get it done as soon as possible!" The Prime Minister replied respectfully.

"If there is nothing serious about some conditions, just agree to it! Some small profits are not as important as a crown!"

Charles I told his palace minister slowly, did he know that the current Princess Mary is a favorite, and this marriage will not be so easy to succeed without paying anything.

What you pay now is to get more in the future.

"Yes, follow your instructions!" The old palace minister bowed his head again, expressing his understanding.

In less than a day, the Spanish court quickly drew up candidates and sent envoys to England to propose marriage.

Two days later, Edward met the envoy in his own Whitehall Palace.

A man in his thirties, wearing a red cloak and leaning on a cane, saluted Edward respectfully.

"Your Majesty the King, His Majesty King Charles V specially sent me to check on your physical condition. Seeing that you are fine, I think it is God's blessing!"

The emissary named Moya Flores Dias had a surprised expression after seeing Edward, as if he was happy for his recovery.

"I am very honored to receive the condolences from His Majesty Charles V. I am in good health. Please thank him for me!" Edward showed a forced smile, nodded slightly to the messenger, and said softly.

Therefore, in the eyes of the messenger, the King of England was indeed seriously ill, and his good health was just an excuse.

Therefore, he became more determined in his heart, determined that Edward's time was short, and made up his mind to fulfill His Majesty's entrustment and obtain this marriage for His Royal Highness.

"Messenger, do you have anything else to do?" Looking at the Spaniard who was still standing still, Edward asked curiously.

"Your Majesty, to be honest, my king sent me here, and I have another happy event to propose to you?"

The Spanish envoy bent over and said enthusiastically.

"Oh—" Edward showed a puzzled expression, then looked at him and said.

"I heard that Her Royal Highness Princess Mary of your country is outstanding in talent and appearance, virtuous and gentle, and my prince has admired her for a long time, so I propose to Her Royal Highness on behalf of your prince!"

The Spaniard raised his head, his expression was flying, and he said sharply at the corner of his mouth.

"This—" Edward showed a thoughtful look, hesitating, "Let me think about it! Marriage is a big deal, don't be careless!"

"Your Majesty, His Royal Highness is quite sincere!"

As he said that, the Spaniard showed an expression that you understand, and Edward's face became serious at this moment.

"Your Royal Highness is so sincere, I don't want to interrupt this beautiful marriage!" Edward sighed, "Your Excellency—"

"Your Majesty!" Sir John stepped out in an instant, bowing and saluting.

"You and this emissary have a careful, earnest discussion about the specifics of the marriage between the two countries!" Facing Sir John, Edward said seriously, his eyes narrowed slightly, and the corners of his mouth slightly raised.
