"Since you no longer want your father's estate near Weimar, His Highness the Elector will compensate you for the one-time payment of six thousand talers."

Compared with the Hohenzollern Chancellor and the Elector of Brandenburg, who had huge goals, it was much easier for Kessell Witting to meet with the butler of the Elector of Saxony.

Although there are common interests, there must still be silver to clear the way. The hatred accumulated from the internal battles of the Weiting family can be eliminated, but it is not the kind of elimination that disappears with a smile, but to cover those bloody wounds with real gold and silver.

The number six thousand thalers can indeed make people forget, at least temporarily, many deep-seated hatreds, such as the mysterious death of his father and the robbed manor.

This money is enough to build a larger estate in central Hungary, or buy several top-notch shops in Vienna.

Kessell-Vitting took the heavy bag of gold coins and nodded with satisfaction, a frank and direct benefit.

Ladislaus provided high salaries to the standing army and paid them in a timely manner. In contrast, he was quite strict in collecting loot.

During the Battle of the Danube, more than fifty soldiers were executed for robbery and hiding booty.

Naturally, high-ranking officers like Kessell-Vitting had some extra money, and Ladislaus gave them a lot of Hungarian land.

But this is still not enough. If you just think that good treatment can avoid corruption, it is obviously impossible. Ladislaus has never been so delusional.

As a central military officer, Kessell Witting still wanted to buy some property in Vienna.

He did not want to regain the confiscated traditional family territory, but would rather buy property in Vienna or the newly conquered Hungary.

From this point of view, he is already a pure Austrian noble.

After receiving the money, he got down to business without any hesitation: "Of course the Chancellor of Hohenzollern supports the Elector of Brandenburg. The person who has the greatest influence on His Majesty the King is Treasurer Machiavelli. If he is willing to support

For our Weiting family, there is at least half a chance that the position of queen belongs to us."

"His Royal Highness Martin Luther's letter of introduction doesn't seem to be very effective. His Excellency Treasurer Machiavelli simply refuses to give it a chance." Machiavelli was not willing to make a bet easily.

"The next important figure is Sazastan, but because of Anna Sieber, he may not be able to speak on this issue. Jones should be consistent with the Hohenzollern Chancellor, and it would be good to be neutral.

Well, Frundsberg, who is leading the army outside, should not take a stance on this issue." Kessell Witting provided valuable information. "There are also the Archbishop of Würzburg and Duke Horthy, although their weight is

It’s not big enough, but if you can get some support, it will be helpful.”

"On such a semi-public and semi-private issue, is your Majesty the King still only affected by the members of the State Council?" The steward frowned a little. This purely business-like attitude is not good for small forces, Ladislaw

If Si puts the crown up for sale, then the highest bidder will almost certainly be a powerful kingdom.

"His Majesty the King's parents have passed away a long time ago. The only surviving elder is Marshal Andre Doria. His influence is also very limited. This is illustrated by the fact that his own daughter cannot become the queen." Kessell-Vietnam

Ting's judgment is quite accurate.

"The Doria family is just a city noble." The chief steward had a sense of superiority on this issue. "How could His Majesty the King of the United Kingdom marry the daughter of an Italian city-state leader."

He was right about this. Of course, there were more reasons why Ladislaus was unwilling to marry Harna.

"His Majesty the Emperor is also a relative, but he supports his sister, the original Queen Mary of Hungary. In short, we cannot get enough support from personal contacts." From Kessell-Vitting's point of view, the Spanish princess is still the most important person.

A strong candidate, both in terms of national strength and sorcerer lineage, Ladislaus is likely to eventually marry his deceased wife's sister.

The chief butler was not very worried. He wrote down several people who needed to visit and contact him one by one. "Then let's test His Highness Sazastan first. Thank you for your information, General. If you can succeed in electing the emperor, His Majesty will definitely

Thank you very much.”

"That's not necessary. I have already received the inheritance I deserve. If I can really have a Queen Vitting, I will have no regrets." Although he felt that the chance was slim, Kessell-Vitting inevitably still had expectations.

"Now there are many opportunities in North Germany. The Church of the Dark Sun and the Teutonic Knights have lost their property. Whoever can get the support of the Warlock Royal Family can get huge benefits in this carve-up war. Please be sure to

The career of the Weiting family is the most important thing." Zhu, the great steward, is actually a member of the Weiting family. His grandfather is an illegitimate son, and he is considered one of the third-rate forces within the Weiting family.

"Of course I know this, please rest assured, Lord Elector." Of course he is not selfless. Nor is he worrying about the family he doesn't care about very much. Being a relative, even if it is not a direct bloodline, will be the credibility of the queen who has left her hometown.

Relatives and of course rely on.

By then, who would dare to say that Kessell-Vitting could not have a seat in the Council of State?

The key to all this is to get the vacant back position.

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

"At today's banquet, the Elector of Brandenburg was very polite to me and spoke to me in her weird Hungarian. What do they want from you?" Duchess Horthy said on her way back home.

, and talked to her husband about what happened at today’s banquet.

"Really? You're not talking nonsense, are you?" Horthy had long seen that his wife was very popular among the ladies, but he didn't expect that the elector's wife would come to please her.

"What are you talking about? Am I such a superficial woman?!" Mrs. Horthy was very unhappy, mostly because she was dissatisfied with being superficial because she didn't understand the situation. "Of course I had a chat with her.

A lot of women's nonsense, her necklace, my hairstyle, that kind of thing."

It's nonsense between women. Madam can say it herself, but if Duke Horthy says so, it will be a disaster.

"My dear wife, you have done well, yes. Now the elector of Northern Germany is vying for the position of His Majesty Ladislaus as queen, so he wants to please you." Duke Horthy's words made his wife understand.

"I really didn't realize what you were capable of in the past. You have reached the top level again so quickly. Those German ladies are all respectful to me." The Duchess originally thought that after Hungary was over, she would also be defeated.

Being thrown out of the top social circle, she didn't expect that her status would be any less damaged than it was in Buda.

Other Hungarian ladies who did not speak German were marginalized. Only her treatment was different. German noble ladies came up to talk to her in Hungarian everywhere.

"Haha, now you know what my husband is capable of." Duke Horthy smiled reservedly. He did have reason to be proud. Ninety-nine percent of the Hungarian nobles suffered more or less losses in this incident.

For the sake of profit, he is the one percent who has kept his family afloat.

Although the Ministry of Propaganda has less power than the Minister of Finance, the United Kingdom is a much more dynamic country than the Hungary of the Glonni family, and opportunities and prospects can be seen here.

"This time we fight for the rear position, do you think our family has a chance? My two nieces are really young and beautiful. How about we sponsor their dowry of 150,000 thalers? Maybe if we put together 300,000, we can make it happen.

"Mrs. Horthy suddenly thought of her niece

Well, Duke Horthy has been in charge of Hungary's financial power for a long time. After experiencing great damage from the Ottoman invasion, he still has financial resources that are not inferior to those of some princes. He is really a huge rat. "Your niece has such a bad temper.

I can only let my niece go."

"It's impossible." At Duke Horthy's level, money is just a number. If it can be used to buy power, he will never be stingy, and he doesn't care about his wife's selfish preference for his sister.

"Aren't you saying that His Majesty the King refuses to marry Miss Harna Doria because, as an exiled prince from Liguria, he no longer needs to strengthen relations with Liguria? Then speaking of which, he does not need to strengthen relations with Hungary.

Strengthen contact?" Mrs. Horthy was also considerate of her niece.

"I just said that you are not superficial, and you immediately started thinking wildly." In fact, Mrs. Horthy's analysis made some sense, but in the end she thought too much. "The Warlock Royal Family has always been very vigilant about domestic political imbalances caused by their marriages, and they have never been there.

Looking for a partner within the country, all the time

The purpose of insisting on intermarriage with foreign royal families is to prevent any important minister from gaining overwhelming power through the relationship with the queen. Not to mention that your brother-in-law only has a small influence in Szekesfehérvér, even if I am a member of the State Council, it is not enough.

He is qualified to be the king’s father-in-law.”

"Is it possible for Queen Mary? Her status is high enough. In fact, she can be considered a Hungarian. I can talk to her to some extent." Mrs. Horthy's idea was shared by her husband.

"It depends on the attitude of Madrid. I think the emperor may not be willing to pay a large enough dowry anymore. The alliance between Spain and the United Kingdom is already very close. Of course, if the emperor raises a price again, I will naturally take action, so you must

Don’t accept any random benefits or promises.”

"I know, I know." In fact, Mrs. Horthy has always been a good housekeeper, and she can't get in with money she shouldn't charge. "But you must be careful about my nephew entering the Propaganda Department."

"I know, I know." Of course, nepotism still needs to be used. (To be continued.)
