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

However, the minstrels and circus ringmasters who gathered in Vienna this year were all worried about whether their businesses would be ruined. There were constant rumors and suspicions throughout the city that Ladislaus would cancel the traditional Christmas and New Year's Day celebrations at the end of the year.

Although city government officials refuted the rumors several times, they themselves had little confidence because Ladislaus did have this plan.

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

Ladislaus proposed to cancel all religious holidays and make the birthdays and coronations of several important emperors statutory holidays. Of course, this was not just an official attitude. Barbarossa would obviously gain a lot from this change.

Small benefits.

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

This matter will of course have to be discussed at the State Council.

"The cardinal's intention is not to cancel the year-end celebrations, but to shorten the holiday by one day and change October 24th to a statutory holiday." Although Machiavelli was not a follower of Barbarossa, Ben and Siree

Gram's competitive relationship made him Ladislaus's go-to guy on this issue. Anyway, the Benn Church had nothing to lose on this issue.

"The day when His Majesty Rudolf came 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 Rudolf ended the interregnum that lasted for more than 20 years and brought order and prosperity back to the empire." Huo Huo

Justice Hensolen really managed to loosen Machiavelli's corner, and he really didn't want Machiavelli to regain control so quickly.

He really didn't want to say that 'but', but he couldn't help but say it. Ladislaus was certain that he took over too many interests of the Cyric Church when several archbishops were driven out of Vienna: "But"

.December 25th has been a common holiday for believers of the true God throughout Europe for a thousand years. The people have generally been accustomed to enjoying the holidays during the week at the end of the year to prepare for the work of the new year. It is inappropriate to cut down the amount of rest rashly.

It will cause great dissatisfaction among the people."

Ladislaus was very unkind to the Hohenzollern Chancellor who talked about the "people". This is not the era of Liddy's great wealth, and ordinary citizens can also enjoy holidays.

Now only nobles and wealthy citizens can enjoy the holidays. Aren't most citizens going 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, the Sirik Church will indeed distribute free wheat cakes and rice porridge on Christmas and New Year's Day. The history of this habit can even be traced back to the ancient Roman Empire, and Sirik has not yet become an overlord.

The age of the Lord God of all.

Next, Director Jones also expressed his objections. In Ladislaus's view, of course he spoke out because he had gained too much industry and benefits from the interest chain of the Cyric Church, but of course the reasons were still there.

It is within the scope of his own expertise: "All true God countries respect the birth day of the first apostle of the Dark Sun as a holy day. If we in Austria cancel this, I am afraid that there will be great disapproval in other countries. Intelligence work can be

It’s difficult.”

Both of them had just received the benefits of Ladislaus, but they could not remain silent completely. The Church of Cyric was deeply rooted in Europe, and indeed it still had some means and power to hold back several key figures.

Although few high-level politicians are very religious, who does not have relatives and friends who are particularly devout in traditional religions?

After the Cyric Church learned of Ladislaus's plan, it mobilized various connections among senior officials to persuade them. Justice Hohenzollern and Director Jones's wife were both mobilized by their confessor to participate.

The old mothers of the two State Councilors actually exert no less power than the transfer of benefits involving hundreds of thousands of thalers every year.

This was not all of their tricks. Ladislaus's plan to reduce one day's vacation was rendered as a complete cancellation of vacation. It was also caused by the ubiquitous pastors in the Sirik church during their sermons.

Completely canceling the one-week holiday will indeed have a certain impact on people's lives. Although most nobles also need help during holidays, it is a customary benefit to allow 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 a monarch arranges a meeting on a major issue, he needs to control at least a simple majority to maintain and expand his prestige.

Sazastan had no psychological pressure to support Ladislaus's plan. Anyway, the holy day of Cassus was not included in the statutory holiday. Cyric's behavior of claiming to be the only true god and eating everything alone made him simply

No allies.

Although Sazhastan's words were powerful, they did not change the balance of power, and his attitude was easy to predict.

Justice Hohenzollern and Director Jones both looked at the only State Councilor on the floor who had not yet spoken.

"I think this issue must be dealt with based on the special national conditions of the Holy Roman Empire." The muscles on the Archbishop of Würzburg's face trembled with his words. For him, this was a decision related to his future destiny.

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

Everyone was slightly surprised by the choice of the Archbishop of Würzburg. The Archbishop of Würzburg's status and strength in this state council were undoubtedly the weakest, but Ladislaus had to compensate for the loss of his country.

Just give him a place.

In the eyes of several colleagues, it is more normal for him to adopt an attitude of being close to the Roman Church, because since the Habsburg family does not intend to completely fall out with the real elected pope, it must leave a channel for communication. Now the Austrian State Council

With no other Cyric clergy besides Ladislaus, the Archbishop of Würzburg should obviously establish himself as this channel.

But what he said next clearly showed that this was not his intention.

"The German nation has its own special situation and glorious history. Although His Majesty the Dark Sun's status as the most important belief of the people is unquestionable, His Majesty the Black Hand, with the empire as the center of development, also meets the needs of our national sentiments."

The Archbishop of Würzburg spoke more and more naturally, and he even nodded to Machiavelli.

Then he turned to the direction of Ladislaus and Sazastan: "His Majesty the Knight of Vision and His Majesty the Lord of Flame 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.

We must persist unwaveringly for ten thousand years, but in order to keep pace with the times and represent the interests of the overwhelming majority of the people, we must promote the pluralistic faith with Austrian characteristics while adhering to the dark sun faith."
