Warlock Royal Family

Chapter 170 Nine Showdown

However, this news is of course not good news for the Elector of Saxony, but he does not believe it: "This is not true, you forged letters to create illegal election results!"

Looking at the Prime Minister of Sarzastan with a sarcastic smile on his face, the Elector shouted: "If the Duke of Bourbon really wants to rebel, it's too late for you to be careful and keep it secret. How dare you let us read such an important letter."

"That's true. Even if the Duke of Bourbon has a [-]% chance of winning, we will help him keep it secret. Anyway, it is not a big problem to give you one hundred and eighty thousand talers." Prime Minister Sazarstan stopped talking nonsense at this time, and he sneered coldly The folly of the Elector of Saxony.

"Unfortunately, when this letter arrived in Brussels, the Duke of Bourbon had already been defeated. He couldn't control his troops at all. The perfect knight Bayar and the Duke of Guise were both loyal to the King of France, and they were quickly defeated. The direct troops of the Duke of Bourbon. Not to mention Paris, the Duke of Bourbon can't even control Turin, and now he must either flee back to the Principality of Bourbon to continue to resist, or go into exile to seek the asylum of His Majesty Ferdinand." Prime Minister Sazastan said It's really a pity to get here. It would be great if they could spread out and fight in a mess. He whispered again, "It's a pity."

"The election of the Holy Roman Empire has nothing to do with the internal affairs of the Kingdom of France. His Royal Highness the Elector of Saxony is out of patriotism and will only elect the most talented person to become emperor." Martin Luther wanted to continue to delay: "But This matter is indeed of great importance. The last time it was the Elector of Brandenburg who asked for a postponement, His Royal Highness the Elector of Saxony can also request to postpone the election for another [-] days. We will wait until the news is confirmed."

At this time, Ladislaus, who had been silent all the time, said, "Whoever dares to delay the election tomorrow is the enemy of the Habsburg family. The Hohenzollern family is currently the only guilty person who colluded with the Hungarian king and will be severely punished." , The Weiting family did not do anything wrong, as long as they uphold the spirit of justice tomorrow, they will be fine."

Ladislaus had just inherited the Austrian throne, and this time was precious. He had been in Frankfurt for too long and had to return to Vienna as soon as possible.

Moreover, continuing to delay will inevitably lead to long nights and long dreams. If the two Agronni monarchs of Poland and Hungary reach some kind of compromise, they may still threaten the Habsburg family.

He and the Prime Minister of Saxony held the meeting on the eve of the election, so that the elector of Saxony would not have the opportunity to coordinate positions with other parties.

"Add one hundred thousand talers to the judicial power of North Germany, and tomorrow I will choose His Majesty Ferdinand." The Elector of Saxony did not hold his breath after all.

"No, Your Highness." Martin Luther was in a hurry, not because the main request of the Black Hand Church had not been fulfilled, but because it would lose the rhythm of the negotiation.

"There will be no so-called stipend for a thaler silver coin. The election of the emperor is the highest and the most sacred. How can bribery be tolerated. Judicial power is where the sovereignty of the empire is and must not be divided. Tomorrow, the vote for the Saxon electorate must be cast for the most talented and beloved. A figure of the Holy Roman Empire." Sure enough, Ladislaus unceremoniously put forward unprecedentedly harsh conditions, "This time there are internal changes in the Kingdom of France, which is a good opportunity for the Holy Roman Empire to completely flatten Paris. Don’t blame His Majesty Ferdinand for being ruthless if you want to destroy the great cause of the empire, please do it yourself.”

Ladislaus and Prime Minister Sarzastan then left the secret meeting room unceremoniously.

The terrible silence lasted for several minutes, and the Elector of Saxony felt as dry as hours.

"How to do?"

Martin Luther also lost his usual demeanor, and said wearily: "We have no choice but to surrender. Even if the King of France wins the Duke of Bourbon quickly, the Kingdom of France will be unable to contain the Habsburgs for the time being after losing the Southern Corps." family. France must be eager to make peace with the Habsburgs by now."

"Defeating France is the first cause of the Habsburg family. Would they agree?" The elector of Saxony was right.

"Of course the Habsburg family will not choose to compromise with France now, but they have the freedom to compromise at any time. Once we really vote against them and they make peace with France, we will face all of the Habsburg family strength."

"With the support of Brandenburg and Hungary, we may not be afraid of them." The elector of Saxony was really unwilling.

"The King of Hungary has great ambitions, but he can't invest much power in this direction. The Hohenzollern family is even more unreliable, and Poland is a natural ally of Austria. The worst thing is that your territory is closest to Austria and the Netherlands regardless of victory. All the defeated Witin families will be wiped out."

Martin Luther did not live up to the trust of Prime Minister Sarzastan, he analyzed everything so clearly.

Sometimes it is more difficult to deal with foolish people, and extremely smart people will only make decisions that are good for everyone.

However, it was not Martin Luther who made the decision but the Elector of Saxony.

When he walked into the Frankfurt parliament hall, his face sank to the extreme, and he couldn't adjust his mentality to accept this fiasco.

The corridor on the second floor is already full of dignitaries from the Holy Roman Empire.

Ladislaus was not the only important prince who had no votes but was present. The Duke of Cranworth, the Duke of Polamenia, was also present in person. Invite to make a big splash.

Although King Louis II of Hungary has not publicly converted to Bane, in recent years Poland and Hungary have also been relatively successful in the activities of the Black Hand Church. Therefore, if he converts, he will not face too much domestic pressure. A declaration of faith orchestrated by Martin Luther.

Of course, Ladislaus got the best view of the corridor on the second floor of the hall, but at this time he still couldn't see the situation in the hall, and he was surrounded by the top figures in Frankfurt.

People including the speaker, the bishop, and a dozen of the most powerful councilors all scrambled to flatter Ladislas.

Regardless of the outcome of the election, the friendship of the Habsburg family is the most valuable to the Frankfurt du li.

Ladislaus can see various tasks on their heads. After becoming a monarch, the tasks required by these parliamentarians are very simple, and he can resolve them with one word.

"Sell materials", the daughter of this family is probably very beautiful, and the reward for the task is to get a top-notch maid.

"Seeking an ambassadorship" is exchanging prestige for money. The nobles of this kind of imperial municipality can sometimes get some less important positions in a big country like Austria by bringing their own dry food. The most common ones are ambassadorships sent to second- and third-tier countries.

However, Ladislaus has no interest in indulging his private desires. He feels that there are already too many women grabbing territory in the Schönbrunn Palace, and it is more appropriate to exchange prestige for money within Austria.

Of course, there are quite a few people around the special envoy of the Kingdom of Hungary, General Szabo Raoyi downstairs. After so many days of tossing, it is no secret that the King of Hungary wants to shake hands with his brother-in-law and brother-in-law.

Shaobo Raoyi's initial order was to choose His Majesty Ferdinand, but after several delays, he finally got the news that his king had reached an agreement with the North German princes.

In fact, he does not agree with this action. The combined population of Hungary and Bohemia is only 550 million, and the confrontation with the Ottoman Empire has exhausted its relatively weak national strength.

In the eyes of a seasoned person like Shaobo Rai, the Habsburg family should never be offended in this situation, let alone oppose Poland's support of the Teutonic Knights for the sake of the throne.

Poland and the Ottoman Empire plus Austria, even if this combination cannot cooperate effectively, it is enough to make Hungary dangerous.

The support of the Hohenzollern family did not balance the situation either.

Even though there are many votes, the strength is much worse.

But now he is just a diplomat and has no autonomy.

His family has a long history in Transylvania, and this time he easily took down the province of Illyria in the Republic of Venice, which gave him a lot of prestige.

King Louis II immediately chose to suppress the heroes. As a foreign royal family from Poland, he was very vigilant against local tyrants.

Feldtaler, who cooperated with Ladislaus, received the same treatment, but although the two of them had the same disease, they didn't feel sympathy for each other. They still had a competitive relationship and a very hostile attitude.

Compared with the status of the Shaobo Rai family in Transylvani, the status of the Federtaler family in Croatia is much worse. The German marks on them are too obvious.

In the opinion of Szabo Rai and most of the Hungarian nobles, even though the Federtaler family has been active in Hungarian politics for hundreds of years, they are still untrustworthy foreigners, and Szabo Rai really felt that the other party accepted the king's unreasonable The request was too quick and unreasonable.

At this time, there were many people around Feldtaler, and this upright and noble-looking general was preaching the generosity and benevolence of His Majesty King Louis II.

Although the king suppressed him, the Feldtaler family is the noble family that most needs the support of the royal family. He is the most obedient to the king's disposal. It is precisely because of his obedience that the Shaobo Raoyi family dare not make head bird.

Although Ladislaus knew what kind of revenge he had taken after being hit, in the eyes of most German nobles, this loyal general was doing his best to seek the throne for his monarch.

Having the status of Elector of Bobemia made King Louis easier to be accepted by various princes.

However, the fact that he does not have ancient German aristocratic blood is a relatively big disadvantage.

His faith is also a sensitive issue.

Diplomats from all walks of life are speculating whether Louis II will openly convert to the mafia if he is elected.

Of course this does not include the French diplomat, who had followed the Duke of Bourbon's route to the ambassadorship, and who is now thinking seriously in an unnoticed corner. (To be continued.
