June 30, 1523, the eve of the election for the throne of the Holy Roman Empire.

The Elector of Saxony was finally relieved to learn that Ladislaus had another urgent meeting with him.

He said sincerely to the important minister who had given him great help: "Martin, it's all thanks to you this time."

He has also been facing a lot of pressure in the past few days. Polish diplomats have met with him several times in the past few days, demanding confirmation of the traditional alliance between Saxony and Poland in the face of the invasion of the Elector of Brandenburg and Hungary.

Is it valid?

If you keep your promise, you will immediately go to war with the emperor you support.

If you don't keep your promise, you may lose an important ally.

This is such a nonsense situation for the Electorate of Saxony.

Only Martin Luther's continuous encouragement allowed him to persist until today. Finally, Habsburg gave in.

This time, the various branches within the Vitting family can no longer compete with him. The Kingdom of Poland will definitely suppress the Teutonic Knights with all its strength, and the rising momentum of the Hohenzollern family after controlling the Teutonic Knights will also be suppressed.

live.

Moreover, he also received a huge amount of money and more important judicial and missionary rights. He would actually become the overlord of North Germany.

He had opportunities to intervene in several western princes, including Hanover, Brunswick, Lunenburg, and Lübeck and Hamburg, the most prosperous cities in the Hanseatic League.

Especially for the conflicts between many wealthy cities, the Habsburg family in Austria could not get much benefit from exercising their judicial power, so they have always lacked interest in this matter.

But for Saxony, it is a very beneficial power.

This time, it’s true that the world’s heroes are being teased by me, Weiting, while being applauded.

Hohenzollern thought he had two votes and jumped out against the Habsburgs. He wanted to give the Teutonic Knights, who had been overwhelmed by Poland, a chance to recover.

King Louis of Hungary, a young man, became ambitious after occupying a little territory of the Republic of Venice. He actually wanted to be the emperor of the Holy Roman Empire. You, an oriental bastard, also want to wear the most noble crown of Europe?

Although the Habsburg family is powerful and has a certain degree of legitimacy in its long-term control of the throne, its key weakness is that it has no votes. The Hungarian-Bohemian vote that they thought they would never change actually turned against them.

It was as if the entire fulcrum had been lost and the situation was completely out of control.

Unexpectedly, all three of them lost in the end, because I, Weiting, took them all.

Haha, hahaha.

The Elector of Saxony was walking on the road to the meeting, and it was difficult to suppress the urge to look up to the sky and laugh.

"How can I dare to claim credit for my virtue? This is the inevitable result of your firm will and quick wit, Your Highness."

Although Martin Luther still maintained his ever-changing calm expression, he was actually very proud in his heart. Who could be dissatisfied?

After obtaining the legal right to preach, the situation of the Dark Sun Church's unification of Europe will be broken, which will inevitably severely damage Sirik's prestige.

The Church of the Black Hand has just been reborn from the ashes. The pastors from Martin Luther on down are full of enthusiasm for devotion to God. Compared with the Roman Church, which has internal relations that are entangled and has become decayed and aging, it is a very combative group.

Once we can preach the gospel fairly among the people, new shoots will replace the dead branches and the autumn wind will sweep away the fallen leaves.

The Black Hand's sweep across North Germany is by no means an unattainable dream.

Even Poland, Denmark, Norway, and Sweden can take them all in one go.

The high-ranking clergy of the Dark Sun in these areas far away from Rome are as far away as the Emperor, and they are even more filthy and have no lower limit.

Moreover, there are more or less theological researchers in the Roman Church who are proficient in doctrine and have a deep understanding of divine teachings who are trying to conduct research that keeps pace with the times, making the doctrine more refined and easier to spread.

These latest studies also meant nothing to the northern bishops.

It is too late for them to be busy with political struggles. For example, the archbishops of Sweden are thinking about how to drive away their colleagues in Denmark every day, and they have not read the Bible for many years.

Thinking of this, Martin Luther also began to repent. He had not reviewed "The Book of Mellow Darkness" for a while.

After this election is over, the black hand will definitely bring down Long En again, and Martin Luther will definitely be able to use the ninth level of magic to advance to "Suppress the Country".

He considered whether to visit England or France again to try to influence the most important monarch of a great country.

But this matter is difficult to handle. France is the region that the Dark Sun values ​​most, and Henry VIII of England hated Black Hand very much. He once personally wrote an article slandering His Majesty Black Hand.

Although His Majesty Blackhand is generous and generous, he will definitely not care about him, but it will definitely be difficult to change him.

But why should I, Martin Luther, be afraid of difficulties?

His majesty and glory must be spread to all directions by me.

In short, both the monarch and the minister were in a very, very good mood when they entered the secret meeting room again.

To their somewhat surprise, Ladislaus and Prime Minister Sazastan seemed to be in a good mood.

Ladislaus was talking to Prime Minister Sazastan with a smile on his face.

The Elector and Martin Luther were somewhat surprised. Although the Habsburg family could retain the throne, they should not be able to laugh at such a big concession.

"What are your two highnesses talking about? Is there any good news?"

It was Martin Luther who spoke, although it was a small breeze.

Since the Habsburg side had already lost by asking for an audience at the last moment, this small disadvantage now was nothing.

"There is good news, but it is not all good news. There is also bad news." Prime Minister Sazastan took out a letter. He was really in a good mood, even though his status was not suitable for him to listen to the news first.

trick.

"Let's read the bad news first." Martin Luther didn't play any tricks and directly took the letter and read it.

"Exactly, I also think that reading the bad news first is the solemn attitude that a decent gentleman should have." Prime Minister Sazastan looked at Martin Luther's dramatic change in expression with satisfaction.

The unexpectedly quick arrival of the courier was not to reply to them, but to convey a message from Northern Europe.

King Christian II of the United Kingdom of Denmark and Norway, on whom the Elector of Saxony relied, had been deposed by his uncle, the Duke of Holstein.

The national policy of attacking the great aristocracy in favor of the bourgeoisie caused great dissatisfaction in the Copenhagen Parliament, coupled with the failure in Sweden and the overreaction to the murder of his mistress.

These reasons led to the rebellion of Christian II. The rebels who were killed in Holstein entered Copenhagen without a fight. Denmark's powerful navy also basically remained neutral.

But finally, a few mid-level naval officers who were born into wealthy families rather than nobles repaid the favor they had received over the years and desperately hijacked a warship to protect the king and his wife from escaping.

Although it has always been suspected that the Habsburg family was involved in the murder of his mistress, King Christian had no choice but to go to the Netherlands to ask for asylum from his uncle Ferdinand.
