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

With the demise of the Luxembourg family and the rise of the Habsburg family, the city lost this importance.

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

St. Vitus Cathedral in the center of the city is a solemn 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's grandfather, the city also actively supported Ladislaus's Bohemian conquest and therefore suffered little damage 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 magician royal family ruling here.

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

His grandfather's body is also in the Habsburg cemetery in Vienna, but as the final place of his death, there is also a tomb of Ladislaus V in the Sirik Cathedral in Bohemia.

Here the Bohemian nobles warmly welcomed Ladislaus.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, I didn't expect that I would be able to see your grandson come back!"

"Old minister, you are so lucky! Your Majesty, your son is back again!"

These old men indeed looked to be in their seventies or eighties. Some of them couldn't even recite their lines clearly, and they also said their seniority incorrectly.

In any case, Ladislaus didn't think that the favor left by his grandfather sixty years ago could continue to this day. It would be good if he didn't object. A warm welcome from the heart was impossible.

"Ladislaus is unworthy of the kindness of your fathers. He is unworthy of it."

But of course Ladislaus would not reveal this kind of thing at an inappropriate time, and he helped up the two Bohemian nobles who were already confused.

"This is the first time I have come to Prague in my life, but..." Ladislaus was deeply involved in the drama at this time. "But... as soon as I entered this place...

Such a city, I really want to go back to my hometown."

As he spoke, Ladislaus stroked his grandfather's tomb.

Seeing him full of tears, the atmosphere in the whole church went crazy.

The Bohemian nobles beat their chests and cried loudly, or cheered enthusiastically.

............................

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

These people needed to be interviewed one by one by Ladislaus and then he would make different attempts to appease and intimidate them based on Jones' intelligence. Overall, it was still a very tiring job.

The Bohemian nobles who were received also responded with fear and nervousness.

One by one, they expressed their loyalty to the Warlock Royal Family, and Ladislaus thanked them for their loyalty.

However, they are all relatively well off, and those who can be received will at least have their lives and property protected.

"Both the Marquis of Pilar and Count Fontaner have owed 15,000 talers in national taxes for more than twenty years. Moreover, they did not actively participate in the counter-rebellion this time, so they are the right targets for the attack."

Margarita reports to Ladislaus the information on the two highest-ranking people who will be deprived of their noble status this time.

Although they and their old man also cried decently, Ladislaus would only accept their hypocrisy when money was not involved.

Ladislaus claimed to be the legal successor of Louis II. Since there was no change of dynasty, there was 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 final date for payment, but the date has long since passed. There are still only a few people who have made up the arrears.

"After the army took control of all key points in the city, they announced the list of people who would be deprived of their titles." Since Ladislaus was sure to completely control the situation in Bohemia, his treatment of the nobles here was much harsher than in Hungary.

Not only those who oppose him will be unlucky, but those who fail to support him in time will also be unlucky.

The Parliament in Prague had been pursuing policies against Louis II, and Hungary was unable to subdue them. However, the situation was different now.

Ladislaus will not only receive the taxes owed over the years, but also a large number of benefits to be distributed to his subordinates.

After these Bohemians lost their titles, many of their rural lands and properties in the city would also be seized by the nobles from Vienna.

More importantly, this storm will make the local nobles of Bohemia more honest. This kind of territory is not captured purely through war, so this method is even more essential.

"Let the Cardinal come in." Although he can be placed far behind, he cannot be ignored.

Ladislaus's work was not over yet.

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

"It is completely unreasonable for the Roman Church to ask me to return your confiscated property in Prague." Ladislaus was in a bad mood and had been busy all day. There was still such a ridiculous thing waiting for him.

he.

He hated paying back the money, let alone paying it back to the Roman Church.

"Your Majesty, it is unreasonable to confiscate the property of the Roman Church." Cardinal Archbishop Orsini, as the special envoy, said firmly. "Her Highness Anna and Her Highness Sazhastan's accusation that we are colluding with the traitors is baseless.

, the great Dark Sun Church can never participate in the rebellion."

"Frundsberg's letter to me said that he captured the former Archbishop of Bohemia of Dark Sun in the battle. I think this is irrefutable evidence." Of course Ladislaus wanted to support Frunzberg.

Renzberg, not to mention the real estate and real estate of the Cyric Church in Prague, Anna did not monopolize it, and the Church of Barbarossa also received half.

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

"The Archbishop of Bohemia's support for the rebellion of Duke Przemys is a personal act of the Archbishop of Bohemia. You can only dispose of his private property, but you have no right to confiscate the church's property," said Cardinal Orsini.

When he said this, his waist was straight.

Although he is no match for Ladislaus on the battlefield, he does have the confidence now. The Church of Cyric has participated in the ups and downs of the European royal family for thousands of years. Even if he chooses the wrong side, the winning enemy can only use a scapegoat to vent his anger.

, absolutely cannot be traced back to the Cyric Church itself.

"But he used the church's land and property to mobilize troops to directly participate in the rebellion and fight against my invading army. This was obviously an official act rather than a personal act. What's more, I only imposed a 200,000 pence penalty on the Bohemian diocese.

It's just a fine, it doesn't involve the confiscation of all property.

, I think it is completely reasonable for the Roman Church to give me this compensation." Ladislaus continued, of course, two hundred thousand talers is almost 95% of the property of the Bohemian Diocese.

But after all, a few broken houses were left for the Cyric Church.

"The Council of Bohemia did not recognize your inheritance at that time, so in the early days he mobilized some church power, but in the later period, His Majesty the Pope was deprived of his power." The Council of Bohemia no longer exists, and in Austria

In front of the large army, Bohemia lost most of the privileges it had when it united with the Hungarian monarch.

Because of the large army invested, the provincial governors sent by Vienna had a foothold in all the Bohemian provincial capitals.

As it stands, Ladislaus does not even mention Bohemia in the name of the United Kingdom.

Although compared to Hungary, which was under the abuse of the Ottomans, the economic situation here is actually better, and the Prague silver mine is one of the sources of precious metals in Europe.

"There is also the act of electing His Majesty the Pope to crown Szoborai. This unilateral action completely violated the will of the Hungarian people and seriously hurt the feelings of the Habsburg family. His Majesty the Emperor and I firmly agree within the empire.

The Black Hand heretics fought against the Ottoman heretics outside the Empire, fighting on every corner of the land and sea to defend the Church of Rome and our free faith.

, The Warlock Royal Family’s support for His Majesty the Dark Sun is endless every day, but what do we get?! Huh?! A knife in the back! A despicable attack!” Ladislaus’s words are right, the Habsburg family

The competition with the Roman Church is limited. If the Bann Church or the Ottomans win, they will swallow up the Cyric Church and expel and massacre the Cyric believers.

Of course, Ladislaus never believed that the Roman Church's attacks on him were incomprehensible. The focus of his words was the Black Hand heresy, that is, the Church of Benn.

"Your attack on the Black Hand Church has been noticed by His Holiness the Pope and the College of Cardinals. We all look forward to your fatal blow to the Black Hand Church." In fact, the Habsburg family just did not join forces with Ben.

Cardinal Orsini was not thrilled by Ladislaus' accusations and veiled threats.

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

Compared with the interests of Italy, the core goal of the Habsburg family, which originated from the German-speaking area of ​​Switzerland, is still North Germany. Attacking France and destroying the separatist princes of Germany are the two top goals of the Habsburg family. Perhaps after swallowing

After conquering Hungary, we need to add a defense against the Ottoman Empire.

It was this contradiction that prevented Ladislaus and Ferdinand from making up their minds to break with Rome.

"What's more, the Church of Rome has not publicly condemned your coronation as the King of the United Kingdom. This is already a great deal of restraint and tolerance. You are a cardinal archbishop and a member of the College of Cardinals. Only the true elect Pope can relieve you from God.

obligation."
