Warlock Royal Family

Chapter 180 Submission

A huge double-headed eagle tapestry is hung in the parliament hall, and the coats of arms of 52 imperial princes are hung on the eagle body.

The seven electors did not delay and arrived at the city council hall within the stipulated time.

After the electors arrived, several young members of the Frankfurt City Council carried the emperor's throne to the center of the hall.

At ten o'clock in the morning, the mayor of Frankfurt announced: "The election of the Holy Roman Empire of the German nation has officially begun."

The mayor of Frankfurt then surrendered the podium to the Archbishop of Mainz.

According to the Jinxi edict, the archbishop is the convener of the election for the throne.

He began to recite the "Golden Seal Edict".

First, praise the great God for half an hour, and then praise the mighty empire for half an hour.

The seats of the seven electors were moved out.

Seats are arranged according to the "Golden Seal Edict".

Seven councilors led the way for them at the same time. Of course, this is purely etiquette. The positions and seats of the electors are all written in the code, and the order is absolutely impossible to get wrong.

"Respectfully invite the Elector of the Holy Roman Empire, the Chief Cupbearer of the Empire, and the envoy of the Elector of Bohemia, to be seated second on the right hand of the Emperor's throne."

"Congratulations......"

The six electors and Shaobo Raoyi all took their seats once.

Archbishop Mainz stood up and asked again: "On the way to Frankfurt, did you receive hospitality and protection from the princes along the way?"

"Yes."

"Have you been bribed or threatened before the election, so that you can't make the choice according to your heart?"

"No."

"Are you willing to swear on the honor of the family that you will choose the wisest, most pious, and wisest person you know as the Holy Roman Emperor of the German nation?"

After taking the oath in turn, this sacred election, which was absolutely absolutely free from bribery and threats, began.

From religious to secular, the electors expressed their choices in turn.

Although only seven people chose, the mayor of Frankfurt took out a pen and paper to record their choices.

Archbishop Mainz's first choice: "I sincerely recommend the King of Hungary, Elector Louis Agronis of Bohemia, as Emperor of the Holy Roman Empire."

There was a commotion in the hall. Although the gossip had already spread everywhere, the Hohenzollern family really jumped out to oppose the Habsburg family, which had been re-elected many times, which still made Zhongmen very excited.

Of course, many small princes do not want civil war, but powerful princes hope that the imperial power can be weakened.

Neither the Archbishops of Cologne nor the Archbishops of Trier had the 20 thalers promised by the French ambassador at the last moment, so they both chose Ferdinand.

The French special envoy for electoral affairs has let his family flee to the Netherlands. His Majesty Ferdinand will take care of them for the rest of their lives. The special envoy has dedicated half of his activities to the King of Spain.

The special envoy himself had to wander the world. The question he had pondered for a long time was not whether to defect or not, but where to escape to avoid the assassins of the Kingdom of France.

But it doesn't matter, there are another 20 talers around, as long as you find a few guards with the best reputation, where in the world can you go?

The New World or the Black Continent, or the farther east?

The mutiny of the French ambassador greatly strengthened the position of the Habsburg family.

This result changed Shaobo Raoyi's color slightly. The focus of his plan this time was to hold two votes for Brandenburg, and then use France's financial resources to pull away two votes.

Although King François will certainly not pay for the election of the King of Hungary himself, the two votes for the King of France can severely damage the Habsburg family.

This is the best option for Hungary with limited financial resources.

However, these two archbishops were eventually controlled by the Habsburg family, so the vote of the vacillating Saxony elector became very critical.

Next, the Elector of Brandenburg, like his cousin, the Archbishop of Mainz, chose the King of Hungary.

The Elector of the Rhine-Palatine, eyeing the Archbishop of Mainz, chose Ferdinand.

Ferdinand already has three votes at this time, and the next round of elections can only start if the last two votes are unanimous.

There is only one vote left for the Elector of Saxony. The Elector of Bohemia is the procedurally first prince of the Holy Roman Empire, so he votes last.

If the two of them make the same choice, then King Louis is elected, and if the Elector of Saxony abstains, he will choose himself. Although this situation has not happened since the issuance of the Golden Seal in 1356, the election can be postponed for another month.

Szabo Raoyi has a check for 25 talers, and the Kingdom of Hungary still has some stocks in stock.

Be sure to buy a vote for the Archbishop of Trier or the Archbishop of Colonna.

But all of this required the support of Louis II from the Elector of Saxony.

The election stopped here for several minutes, the Elector of Saxony looked livid and gritted his teeth.

Under the watchful eyes of hundreds of nobles and diplomats, it completely lost its normalcy.

Finally he felt like two sharp swords were staring at him from above his head.

He raised his head and followed this feeling to find the source of his uneasiness, and saw Ladislas' eyes full of destruction and coldness.

Shaobo Raoyi was also anxious to the extreme, but according to diplomatic etiquette, he could not speak at this time, and no one could speak.

But Ladislaus has no intention of following this rule.

He put his hands on the railing and stood up, staring into the eyes of the Elector of Saxony and said in a loud voice: "What are you waiting for?!"

The dignified Elector of Saxony trembled when he heard the words, and finally lowered his head: "I recommend His Majesty Ferdinand."

Everyone was equally angry at Ladislaus' last act of pressure, but no one dared to stand up and reprimand Ladislaus.

At this time, the archbishop of Mainz should have stood up, but the archbishop looked at Ladislaus, who was dressed in a red robe and was also extremely powerful in the Roman Church, and finally flinched.

Shaobo Raoyi was about to stand up, but suddenly he saw that his deputy Feder Taller was also staring at him, staring at him with the eyes of a wolf staring at a sheep.

Danger.

Feldtaler wants to accuse me of instigating war.

"Absolutely do not start a war." This is the instruction of King Louis. This kind of bottom line puts Shaobo Raoyi at a disadvantage in all issues. If he only dares to use tricks but does not dare to use force, it is tantamount to letting go of everything.

Later, after Ladislaus learned the details of this order from the Hungarian Queen Marie-Habsburg-Agrony, he evaluated this way of acting as "preserving his life in the face of a major event."

Szabo Raoyi finally gave up, and Ladislaus just broke everyone's default unspoken rules, although everyone can be sure that the new cardinal must have put great pressure on the Elector of Saxony.

And justice has been trampled on mercilessly, but it is not enough to accuse or judge him.

In fact, there is no court in the world to accuse or judge the monarch of Austria.

If Shaobo Raoyi stood up to accuse, then he would use the sword to speak later.

Thinking of the powerful enemies in the east of Hungary and the enemies of his own family, Szabo Raoyi finally gave up.

Everyone's hateful and helpless gazes finally turned into jealousy and helplessness. Ladislaus looked down at the audience, even the two electors of the Hohenzollern family finally avoided their eyes under his gaze. Eye.

Four to two, Bohemian's vote is meaningless.

However, according to the procedure, Shaobo Raoyi still has to speak out his choice on behalf of Louis II.

This time all eyes were on Shaobo Raoyi, but this time they were full of ridicule and ridicule. (To be continued.
