However, this news was certainly not good news for the Elector of Saxony, but he did not believe it: "This is not true. You forged letters to create the results of an illegal election!"

Looking at Prime Minister Sazastan with a sarcastic smile on his face, the Elector shouted: "If the Duke of Bourbon really wants to rebel, you will be careful to keep it secret before it is too late. How dare you let us see such an important letter."

"Indeed, even if the Duke of Bourbon has a 10% chance of winning, we will keep it secret for him. Anyway, giving you one hundred and eighty thousand talers is not a big problem." Prime Minister Sazastan stopped telling lies at this time, and he mocked coldly.

On the folly of the Elector of Saxony.

"Unfortunately, when this letter arrived in Brussels, the Duke of Bourbon had already been defeated. He could not control his troops at all. The perfect knight Bayard and the Duke of Guise were die-hard loyalists of the French King, and they were quickly defeated.

The troops directly under the Duke of Bourbon. Not to mention Paris, the Duke of Bourbon even controls Turin.

It can't be controlled. Now he will either flee back to the Principality of Bourbon and continue to resist, or he will go into exile and seek asylum from His Majesty Ferdinand." Prime Minister Sazastan said this, it was really a pity, if only they could open up the battle and fight to a complete mess.

Sorry, he whispered again, "What a pity."

"The election for the throne of the Holy Roman Empire has nothing to do with the internal affairs of the Kingdom of France. His Highness the Elector of Saxony will only elect the most talented person to become the emperor out of patriotism." Martin Luther wanted to continue to delay: "But

This matter is indeed of great importance. The last time the Elector of Brandenburg requested a postponement, His Royal Highness the Elector of Saxony can also request to postpone the election for another fifteen days. We should wait until the news is confirmed."

At this time, Ladislaus, who had been silent, spoke: "Whoever dares to delay the election tomorrow is the enemy of the Habsburg family. The Hohenzollern family is the only guilty person in colluding with the King of Hungary and will be severely punished.

, the Weiting family has not done anything wrong, as long as they uphold their integrity tomorrow, everything will be fine."

Ladislaus had just inherited the throne of Austria. This period of time was very precious. He had been in Frankfurt for too long and must return to Vienna as soon as possible.

Moreover, continuing to delay will inevitably lead to troubled times. If the two Jaglonian monarchs of Poland and Hungary reach some kind of compromise, they may still threaten the Habsburg family.

He and Prime Minister Sazastan arranged the meeting on the eve of the election so that the Elector of Saxony would not have the opportunity to coordinate his position with other parties.

"Add 100,000 thalers to the judicial power of North Germany. Tomorrow I will choose His Majesty Ferdinand." The Elector of Saxony did not calm down after all.

"No, Your Highness." Martin Luther was anxious, not because the main demands of the Black Hand Church had not been realized, but because this would lose the pace of negotiations.

"There will not be a so-called subsidy of a silver thaler. How can the supreme saint tolerate bribery in the election of the throne. Judicial power is the seat of imperial sovereignty and must not be divided. Tomorrow's vote for the elector of Saxony must go to the most talented and most beloved

A figure in the Holy Roman Empire." Sure enough, Ladislaus

He unceremoniously put forward unprecedentedly harsh conditions, "This time there are changes within the Kingdom of France. It is a good opportunity for the Holy Roman Empire to completely defeat Paris. If the Elector of Saxony misses the great cause of the empire, then no need to blame His Majesty Ferdinand for being ruthless.

, just take care of yourself."

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

The terrible silence lasted for several minutes. The Elector of Saxony felt as though his mouth had been parched for hours.

"what to do?"

Martin Luther also lost his usual demeanor and said tiredly: "We have no choice but to surrender. Even if the King of France quickly defeats the Duke of Bourbon, after losing the Southern Corps, the Kingdom of France will no longer be able to contain the Habsburgs for the time being.

family. France must be eager to make peace with the Habsburgs 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 negotiate peace with France, we will face the full strength of the Habsburg family.

Already."

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

"The King of Hungary has great ambitions but little talent. He actually can't invest much power in this direction. The Hohenzollern family is even less reliable, and Poland is Austria's natural ally. The worst thing is that your territory is closest to Austria and the Netherlands. No matter how you win,

Defeating the Weiting family will lead to the disaster of annihilation."

Martin Luther did indeed live up to the trust of Prime Minister Sazastan. He analyzed everything so clearly.

Sometimes fools are more difficult to deal with. Smart people will only make decisions that are good for everyone.

But the person who made the decision was not Martin Luther but the Elector of Saxony.

When he walked into the Frankfurt Parliament Hall, his face was extremely gloomy. He could not adjust his mentality to accept this tragic defeat.

The cloister on the second floor was already filled with dignitaries from all walks of life of the Holy Roman Empire.

Ladislaus was not the only important prince who did not have a vote but was present. Duke Cranworth, the Duke of Pomerania, was also present in person. They were also followers of Benn, and this time they received a letter from Martin Luther.

Invite to build momentum.

Although King Louis II of Hungary has not yet publicly converted to Benn, Poland and Hungary have been areas where the Black Hand Church has been relatively successful in recent years, so the domestic pressure he would face if he converted would not be too great. This would have been the case.

A carefully crafted declaration of faith 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. He was surrounded by Frankfurt's leading figures.

Everyone, including the speaker, the bishop and a dozen of the most powerful members of parliament, rushed to flatter Ladislas.

Regardless of the outcome of the election, the friendship of the Habsburg family is most valuable to Frankfurt's government.

Ladislaus could see various tasks on their heads. After becoming the monarch, the tasks requested by these councilors were very simple, and he could decide them with a single word.

"Promote supplies", the daughter of this family is probably very beautiful, and the reward for the task is to get a top maid.

"Seeking ambassadorships" means exchanging prestige for money. By bringing their own rations, nobles in such imperial municipalities can sometimes get some less important positions in big countries like Austria. The most common ones are ambassadorships sent to second- and third-rate countries.

However, Ladislaus had no interest in indulging his own selfish desires. He felt that there were already too many women competing for territory in the Schembron Palace, and it would be more appropriate to exchange prestige for money within Austria.

Of course, there were also many people surrounding General Szaboroy, the special envoy of the Kingdom of Hungary downstairs. After so many days of work, it was no longer a secret that the King of Hungary wanted to have an arm-wrestle with his brother-in-law and brother-in-law.

The initial order Schauporai received was to choose His Majesty Ferdinand, but after several delays, he finally received the news that his king had reached an agreement with the northern German princes.

In fact, he did not agree with this action. Hungary and Bohemia combined had a combined population of only 5.5 million, and years of confrontation with the Ottoman Empire had exhausted its relatively weak national power.

From the perspective of an experienced man like Szoborai, he should never offend the Habsburg family in this situation, let alone oppose Poland and support the Teutonic Knights for the sake of the throne.

Poland and the Osma Empire plus Austria, this combination is enough to put Hungary in danger even if they cannot cooperate effectively.

The support of the Hohenzollern family cannot balance this situation.

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

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

His family has a long history in Transylvania, and this time he easily won the Illyrian province of 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 wary of local powerful people.

Feidtaler, who cooperated with Ladislaus, received the same treatment. However, although the two of them had the same disease, they did not pity each other. They were still very competitive and hostile.

Compared with the status of the Szoborai family in Transylvania, the status of the Fedtaler family in Croatia is much worse. The German mark on them is too obvious.

In the eyes of Szaporany and most of the Hungarian nobles, although the Fedtaler family has been active in Hungarian politics for hundreds of years, they are still untrustworthy foreigners, and Szaporany indeed feels that it is unreasonable for the other party to accept the king.

The request was too quick and unreasonable.

At this time, there were many people surrounding Federtal. This upright and noble-looking general was preaching about the generosity and kindness of His Majesty King Louis II.

Although the king suppressed him, the Feidetale family was the noble family that needed the royal family's support the most. He was the most submissive to the king's treatment. It was precisely because of his submissiveness that the Shauporai family did not dare to do anything.

Head bird.

Although Ladislaus knew what kind of revenge he took after being hit, in the eyes of most German nobles, this loyal general was working hard 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.
