Warlock Royal Family

Chapter 529 Arriving in Prague

Prague was once the political center of the Holy Roman Empire during the times of Charles IV and Sigismund.

With the extinction of the Luxembourgs and the rise of the Habsburgs, the city lost this importance.

However, as the capital of the elector of Bohemia, it is still an important town in Central Europe.

The St. Vitus Cathedral in the center of the city is a majestic and magnificent religious center. When Benso moved his grave in Liguria, Ladislaus was here to pay homage to his grandfather, who died of leukemia in Ladislaus, Prague. Si V.

Once the staunchest supporter of Ladislaus' grandfather, the city also actively supported Ladislaus' Bohemian Raiders, so it was largely unscathed in this war.

When Ladislaus entered the city, he was even welcomed by tens of thousands of citizens. Although there were still some opponents in the northern countryside, the citizens here did not object to a monarch of the warlock royal family ruling here.

Ladislaus had reason to believe so, of course the performance in front of him was a little too much.

His grandfather's remains are also in the Habsburg family cemetery in Vienna, but there is also a Ladislaus V burial in the Cyric Cathedral in Bohemia, where he died last.

Ladislaus was warmly welcomed here by the Bohemian aristocrats. [

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, I didn't expect the old minister to see your grandson come back!"

"Lucky old minister! Your Majesty, your son is back!"

These old men did seem to be in their seventies and eighties, and some of them couldn't even recite their lines clearly, and their seniority was wrong.

In any case, Ladislaus does not think that the favor left by his grandfather 60 years ago can continue to this day. It is good not to object. A warm welcome from the heart is impossible.

"Ladislaus is ashamed to receive the great love of all the elders, and is ashamed to receive it."

But of course Ladislaus would not talk about such things out of time, he helped the two old and confused Bohemian nobles.

"It's the first time in my life that I've been in Prague, but" Ladislaus is deeply involved at this point. "However. Once I entered this city, I really wanted to go back to my hometown."

While speaking, Ladislaus stroked his grandfather's tomb.

Seeing his tears, the atmosphere of the whole church reached a climax.

The Bohemian nobles cried out loudly, or cheered enthusiastically.

The ceremony was followed by a banquet. Although Margarita had worked hard to reduce the number of qualified guests, dozens of people

These people need Ladislaus to meet one by one and then make different comforts and deterrents based on Jones' intelligence.Overall it is still a tiring job.

The Bohemian nobles who were interviewed also responded with trepidation and nervousness.

They expressed their loyalty to the warlock royal family one by one, and Ladislaus also thanked them for their loyalty. [

But they are all pretty good. Those who can be interviewed, at least their lives and property are guaranteed.

"Both the Marquis of Pilar and the Earl of Fontaine have owed 20 thaler of national taxes for more than [-] years. Moreover, they did not take an active part in this counter-insurgency, so they are suitable targets for surgery." Greta reported to Ladislaus the information on the two highest-ranking persons who will be deprived of noble status this time.

Although they and the old man in their family are also crying decently, but only when money is not involved, Ladislaus will accept their hypocrisy.

Ladislaus claimed to be the legal successor of Louis II. Since it was not a change of dynasty, there is no reason to write off the past debts.

Vienna has long announced that it will clear up the tax arrears of the previous generation, and set a date for the final payment, but the date has already passed.Still only a few people made up the balance.

"After the army controls every key point in the city, it will announce the list of deprivation of titles." Since Ladislaus is sure to completely control the situation in Bohemia, the means of treating the nobles here are much harsher than those in Hungary.

It's not just bad luck for those who oppose him, but also bad luck for those who don't support him in time.

The parliament in Prague had always pursued a policy against Louis II, and Hungary tried to subdue them, but now the situation is different.

Ladislaus will not only get the taxes owed over the years, but also distribute a lot of benefits to his subordinates.

After these Bohemians lost their titles, many of their country lands and urban properties would also be seized by nobles from Vienna.

More importantly, this storm will make the local nobles in Bohemia more honest.This kind of territory is not acquired purely by war, and this method is even more indispensable.

"Let the archbishop in red come in." Although he could be placed far behind, he still had to be seen.

Ladislaus' work is not over yet.

Although he waited for a long time, the Cardinal Orsini still seemed very calm, completely different from his panic on the battlefield.

"The Church of Rome asked me to return your confiscated property in Prague. This matter is completely unreasonable." Ladislaus was in a bad mood and had been busy all day.There is still such a ridiculous thing waiting for him.

He hated paying back the money, let alone the Church of Rome.

"Your Majesty, it is unreasonable to confiscate the property of the Roman Church." Cardinal Orsini, the special envoy, said firmly. "His Highness Anna and His Highness Sazastan's accusation of colluding with the traitors is groundless, and the great Church of the Dark Sun will never be able to participate in the rebellion."

"Frundsberg sent me a letter saying that he captured the former Bohemian Archbishop of Dark Sun in battle. I think this is already refutable evidence." Of course, Ladislaus must support Fren Zberg, not to mention the real estate and real estate of the Church of Cyric in Prague, Anna did not monopolize it, and the Church of Barbarossa also shared half of it.

For example, the cathedral where the ceremony is held today, because it contains the tomb of Ladislaus' grandfather, it is very suitable for the priest of Barbarossa to preach in it.

"The Archbishop of Bohemia's support for Duke Premis' rebellion is a personal act of the Archbishop of Bohemia. You can only dispose of his private property, but you have the right to confiscate the property of the church." Cardinal Orsini said this When talking, the back is straight.

Although he was no match for Ladislaus on the battlefield, he does have confidence now. The Church of Cyric has participated in the rise and fall of the royal family of Europa for thousands of years. Even if they choose the wrong side, the winning enemy can only use the scapegoat to vent their anger , jus cogens goes back to the Church of Cyric itself.

"However, he used the land and property of the church to mobilize troops to directly participate in the rebellion and fight against my army. This is obviously an official behavior rather than a personal behavior, not to mention that I only imposed 20 talers on the Bohemian diocese I think it is completely reasonable for the Roman Church to give me this little compensation.” Ladislaus continued, of course, 20 talers is almost 90.00 for the Diocese of Bohemia %[-] of the property, but after all, I still left a few dilapidated houses for the Church of Cyric.

"The Bohemian Parliament did not recognize your right of succession at the time, so in the early days he mobilized some church power, but later on, His Majesty the True Elect deprived him of his power." The Bohemian Parliament no longer exists, in Austria Before the army, Bohemia lost most of the privileges it had when it was united with the Hungarian monarch.

Because of the large army, the governors sent by Vienna have already occupied all the Bohemian provincial capitals.

In its current state, Ladislaus does not even mention Bohemia in the name of the United Kingdom.

Although the economic situation here is actually better than that of Hungary, which was poisoned by the Ottomans, the Prague silver mine is one of the sources of precious metals in Europa.

"There is also the act of choosing His Majesty the Pope to crown Szabo Rai. This unilateral action completely violates the wishes of the majority of the Hungarian people and seriously hurts the feelings of the Habsburg family. His Majesty the Emperor and I firmly agree with each other within the empire." The black hand heretics fought against the Ottoman heretics outside the empire, and they fought hard to defend the Church of Rome and our belief in freedom in every corner of the sea and land. The support of the warlock royal family to His Majesty the Dark Sun is endless every day, but we have received What?! Huh?! A knife in the back! A despicable attack!" Ladislaus' words are right, the competition between the Habsburg family and the Roman Church is limited, and if the Bann Church or the Ottomans win, they will Swallow the Church of Cyric in one gulp, and expel and massacre the followers of Cyric.

Of course, Ladislaus never thought that the attacks of the Church of Rome on him were incomprehensible. The focus of his words was the black hand heresy, that is, the Bann Church.

"Your attack on the Church of the Black Hand has been noticed by His Majesty the Pope and the College of Cardinals. We are all looking forward to your fatal blow to the Church of the Black Hand." In fact, the Habsburg family just did not merge with Bann.

Cardinal Orsini was not agitated by Ladislaus' accusations and vague threats.

In fact, it is also difficult for the Habsburg family to merge with the Bann Church, because the princes of North Germany have been too closely integrated with the Bann Church.

Compared with the interests of Italy, the core goal of the Habsburg family originating from the German-speaking part of Switzerland is still North Germany. Attacking France and destroying the separatist princes of Germany are the two top goals of the Habsburg family. After leaving Hungary, a defense against the Ottoman Empire will be added.

It was this contradiction that made Ladislaus and Ferdinand unable to make up their minds to break with Rome.

"What's more, the Roman Church did not publicly condemn you for being crowned King of the United Kingdom. This is already a great restraint and tolerance. You are a cardinal and a member of the College of Cardinals. Only His Majesty the Elected Pope can relieve you of God. obligation."

This is also a trouble for Ladislaus at present. Although it is only a small trouble, it must be solved anyway. (to be continued...)
