The Rise of Iceland - Vol 3 Chapter 441
After Olaf arrived in Copenhagen, confidential documents, battle reports and intelligence from Sweden, Iceland, Trondheim, Szczecin, Finland, Poland and other places were sent to Copenhagen like snowflakes.
Olaf lived in Christensenburg Christensen as the master, but he could only move to the side castle, and this Danish royal palace has also become the political center of the Swedish Empire at this moment.
At the same time, it is as warm as spring and summer in the royal residence in Reykjavik, Iceland. Hadar, the Duke of Iceland, is fifty-seven years old this year, and he was seriously ill the year before. Gone.
It is also since the serious illness that Hadar has lost his ambition to fight, and has aged a lot. Every day, he just sits in the government’s mansion to write lyrics and fu, play the piano and enjoy flowers.
Today, when more than 20 literati, poets, court painters, and musicians were crowding around the old man to flatter him, Halik suddenly walked in wearing a sea lion fur coat.
“Prince, Olaf sent a secret letter.”
As Halik, who was transferred from Vinland back to Iceland as a Viking general, he is both Olaf’s confidant and Hadar’s favorite. He is the current real power in Dagang.
After listening to Halik’s words, Hadar paused for a while, waved his hand to let the literati retreat first, and then asked, “It’s so urgent? Is there something important? Is there a rebellion?”
Halik smiled, handed the letter to Hadar, and said, “No, who else in Europe dares to provoke us Vikings? Olaf went to Copenhagen, saying that he wanted to marry the daughter of Christian IV, and let you marry the old man. The king secretly released it and sent it back to Denmark, and I don’t know what he meant.”
Hadar stroked his beard, sat down and thought for a moment, then said, “Don’t worry about Olaf’s purpose, just do it as you do, pick a hundred elite children, build a sleigh car, and send Christian IV back. Going to Denmark, I estimate that Denmark will be turned upside down after the old King of Dan returns to Copenhagen, hehe…”
As the person who is the worst at dealing with Denmark, Hadar is naturally happy to see the civil strife in Denmark, and also vaguely guesses what his son is thinking, and naturally agrees the most.
Halick scratched his head, then turned around and went out.
After half a day, the old Dan king Christian IV, who was imprisoned in a villa in Dagang and enjoying himself, was invited out by Halik himself. Then the old Dan king met Hadar and chatted for a long time. Finally, the old Dan king happily followed him in a sleigh carriage. The Viking cavalry led by Halik left Dagang and braved the snow and ice to head east.
…
The time soon came to Olaf and Princess Margaret’s wedding. The ministers and wedding envoys from various countries came to Christensenburg to meet Olaf with expensive gifts.
Although Olaf is supporting the Church of the God King secretly and secretly, the dominant religion in the Nordic region is still Lutheran, so Olaf’s wedding is still witnessed by Lutheran elders.
This expensive and extravagant wedding will soon come to an end, but at the final ball, an old man wearing a golden silk royal robe and a crown walked in accompanied by the head of the Danish gendarmerie and several old generals. venue.
Although it has been many years, everyone present recognized at a glance that the old man was Christian IV who was sent to Iceland by Olaf for his retirement.
It was only a few seconds from the appearance of Christian IV to being discovered, but the commotion and discussion sounded like a tsunami from the door.
So much that Christensen, who was dancing with his lover in his arms, also found out that something was wrong. He turned around and saw his father. He was a little surprised for a while, and hurriedly asked the guards to find out the situation.
At this time, the ministers of various countries had already saluted and talked to Christian IV, hoping to get some information out of his mouth, but Christian IV did not say a word about how he escaped from Iceland, only that he came to congratulate own baby daughter and son-in-law.
Olaf and Princess Margaret also noticed the commotion at this time, and hurried over to recognize each other. Just when the family was enjoying themselves, Christensen also reacted and rushed over with the queen’s red eyes.
“Father!”
Christian IV’s expression changed, and he put on a blunt father’s smile and hugged his son who rushed over. The father and son were indifferent to each other. Born in the royal family, the father, kindness and filial piety who can still pretend to be filial in front of others have brought tears to many women with shallow eye sockets.
Seeing the tears of his wife beside him, Olaf laughed secretly, but he still stretched his arms around her and said, “Your father is back. With his blessing, our marriage will be complete, right?”
Only now did Margaret know that her father was invited by Olaf on a special trip for her. How could she know how many twists and turns there were, she hugged Olaf excitedly and cried, “Thank you, Olaf!”
A wedding ended in the final family reunion, and all the ministers and nobles were eagerly discussing, but Christensen was completely uncomfortable.
After Olaf and Margaret returned to the palace to rest, Christensen also generously said that Christensen had no place to place his father, so he asked people to take the time to clean up the Rosenborg Palace, and then Invite Christian IV to live at Rosenberg Palace.
After Christian IV moved into the Rosenberg Palace, princes and nobles and ministers in the court began to rush to enter the palace to visit the Supreme King. Christensen felt uneasy and anxious after learning about it.
When the six gods had no masters, a guard beside him suggested: “Your Majesty, the old majesty is old and sick, and it is not convenient to see outsiders for a long time, right? Or you can send guards to protect the Rosenborg Palace, and send more servants to serve, so that also show your respect
^0^Old man…”
Christensen pondered for a long time, and suddenly smiled: “You’re right, what’s your name?”
“My name is Snilding, and my ancestors are islanders of the Faroe Islands, because the old His Majesty became a mercenary when he declared war on Habsburg.”
Christensen took off a gold ring from his hand and put it on Snilding’s hand, saying: “You are very good, I will promote you to be a captain, you will take someone to guard the Rosenborg Palace, and be sure to take my father The king’s ‘strictly’ protection! Remember?”
Snilding knelt down on one knee in excitement, and UU reading www.uukanshu.com said: “I will do it now.”
Soon, Snilding took dozens of guards to block Rosenberg, and then told the citizens of Copenhagen that the King Taishang was in poor health and needed to rest, and then sent more than a dozen servants to serve in the palace.
In order to prevent Christian IV from sending messages to the outside world, Snilding also blocked the gate with chains, sent craftsmen to block all the windows, and cut down all the big trees in the palace.
Christian IV, the Supreme King, was imprisoned as soon as he returned to the country. Except for Olaf, only the emperor in the world could understand his situation.
On the third day after the wedding, Olaf stretched his waist after learning that everything was going according to plan, and said, “It’s time to go back to Stockholm. Let the Danes handle the Danish affairs themselves…”
Soon, the master of the Swedish Empire, the godfather and regent Olaf, took his new wife to the Moose Palace to return to Sweden, and the Copenhagen market also began to spread that Christensen abused his father and imprisoned the Supreme King. The version makes Copenhagen’s winter even more chilling than before. Even if the city is white with snow, undercurrents are already surging under the ice and snow.
