Warlock Royal Family

In the last month of 1525, as in previous years, a large number of bards and circuses gathered in various big cities to prepare for the year-end festival business.

However, the troubadours and circus masters who gathered in Vienna this year were very worried about whether their business would fail. There were constant rumors and suspicions in the whole city that Ladislaus would cancel the traditional Christmas and New Year's week celebration at the end of the year.

Although the officials of the city government refuted the rumors several times, they themselves did not have much confidence, because Ladislaus did have this plan.

The idea of ​​replacing Christmas Day as a national holiday on October 24, when Rudolf the Great was crowned emperor, was conceived last year in Ladislaus, an important official attitude of the state apparatus as to who is orthodox.

Ladislaus proposed to cancel all religious holidays, and make the birthdays and coronation days of several important emperors as legal holidays. Of course, this is not just an official attitude. Barbarossa will obviously benefit from this change. Small benefit. [

Although most people do not fully devote themselves to praying, the different objects of the hymn will eventually slowly but continuously enhance Barbarossa's strength.

Of course, this matter must be discussed through the State Council.

"The cardinal's intention is not to cancel the end-of-year celebrations, but to shorten the holiday by one day and change October 24 to a legal holiday." Although Machiavelli is not a follower of Barbarossa, Bane and Cyric Rivalry made him Ladislaus' go-to guy on the issue, and the Church of Bane had nothing to lose on the issue anyway.

"The day of His Majesty Rudolf's accession to the throne is of course a glorious moment that the people of the Holy Roman Empire will always remember. We will never forget that His Majesty Rudolph brought order and prosperity back to the Empire after ending a period of more than 20 years of interregnum." Hohenthau It was really hard for Justice Lun to loosen the corner of Machiavelli's wall, and he really didn't want Machiavelli to get back so soon.

He really didn't want to say the 'but', but he couldn't help but say this word. Ladislaus is sure that he took over too much interest from the Cyric Church during the process of several archbishops being kicked out of Vienna: "But .December 25th has been a common holiday for the entire Europa True God believers for 1000 years. The people have generally been used to enjoying the holiday during the week at the end of the year to prepare for the work of the new year. It caused great dissatisfaction among the people."

Ladislaus was very unscrupulous towards Justice Hohenzollern who talked about the "people" one by one. Now it's not Li Di's materially rich and good generation, and ordinary citizens can also enjoy holidays.

Now only nobles and wealthy citizens can enjoy the holiday.Don't most citizens still want to continue to serve you?

It's just that this "you" is actually "we", and Ladislaus is embarrassed to say it.

And although most people don’t have holidays, during the two days of Christmas and New Year’s Day, the Church of Cyric will indeed give out free wheat cakes and rice porridge. The history of this habit can even be traced back to the ancient Roman Empire. The age of the Lord God of all.

Then Commissioner Jones also expressed his objection.From Ladislaus' point of view, of course he came out to speak out because he had gained too much industry and benefits in the interest chain of the Cyric Church, but of course the reason was found within his professional scope: "All the countries of the true gods are all They all respect the birth day of the first apostle of the dark sun as a holy day, if we in Austria abolish this, I am afraid that other countries will have great disapproval, and intelligence work will be difficult."

Both of them had just received the benefits of Ladislaus, but they couldn't stop talking completely.The Church of Cyric is deeply rooted in Europa, and indeed there are still some means and power to hold several key figures.

Although few high-level politicians are very devout, who doesn't have relatives and friends who are particularly devout in traditional religions?

After the Church of Cyric learned of Ladislaus' plan, it mobilized the various connections of high-ranking officials to persuade them. Justice Hohenzollern and the wife of Director Jones were mobilized by their own confessor to participate.

The old mothers of the two state councilors actually exerted no less power than the transfer of interests involving hundreds of thousands of thalers every year.

This is not all of their methods. Ladislaus' plan to reduce the holiday by one day is exaggerated as a complete cancellation of the holiday. It is also the ghost of the priests in the ubiquitous Cyric Church.

The complete abolition of a week's holiday will indeed have a certain impact on people's lives.Although most nobles also need someone to serve them during holidays, it is a customary benefit for servants and tenants to take a day off and distribute some holiday supplies.

However, since Ladislaus formally discussed this issue at the State Council, he naturally had certain arrangements.

Before the monarch arranges a meeting on major issues, he needs to control at least a simple majority in order to maintain and expand his prestige.

Sarzastan has no psychological pressure to support Ladislaus's plan. Anyway, none of the holy days of Kassuth have been mixed into the legal holidays. Cyric's claim that the only true god makes a big deal of eating alone makes him not at all ally. [

Sarzastan's words were forceful but did not alter the balance of power, and his attitude was easily predictable.

Both Justice Hohenzollern and Director Jones looked at the only State Councilor who hadn't spoken.

"I think the handling of this issue must proceed from the special national conditions of the Holy Roman Empire." The muscles on the face of the Archbishop of Wuerzburg trembled with his words. For him, this was a decision that related to his future fate.

Is it the Holy Roman Empire or the Cyric Church in Rome.

Everyone was slightly surprised by the choice of the Archbishop of Würzburg. The status and strength of the Archbishop of Würzburg in this state council are undoubtedly the weakest. It was only for Ladislaus to compensate him for losing his own country. Give him a place.

In the eyes of several colleagues.It is quite normal for him to adopt an attitude of being close to the Roman Church, because since the Habsburg family does not intend to completely turn against the true pope, they must leave a communication channel after all. Now there is no Ladislaus in the Austrian State Council Other than the Cyric clergy, the Archbishop of Würzburg should obviously establish himself as this channel.

But what he said next.Explain that this is obviously not the intention.

"The German nation has its own special circumstances and a glorious history. Although His Majesty Dark Sun's position as the most important belief of the people is questionable, His Majesty Blackhand, whose development is centered on the Empire, also meets the needs of our national feelings." Weil The Archbishop of Zeborg spoke more and more naturally, and he even nodded to Machiavelli.

Then he turned to the direction of Ladislaus and Sarzastan: "Your Majesty the Knight of Great Wishes and His Majesty the Lord of Fire are closely related to the history and culture of the Holy Roman Empire. Of course, His Majesty Dark Sun's absolutely orthodox route is ours It must be unshakable for 1 years, but in order to keep pace with the times and represent the interests of the broadest masses of the people, it is necessary for us to enter into pluralistic beliefs with Austrian characteristics while adhering to the dark sun belief.”

Justice Hohenzollern and Jones quickly exchanged a look, but they did not expect that the Archbishop of Wuerzburg would turn against him. (To be continued.
