After Siggier finished speaking, a strange silence fell into the hall.
Suddenly William felt someone looking at him, so he turned his head, and saw August and Itans sitting beside him looking at William. William shook his head at the two and then turned his head toward him.
The three religious edicts on the opposite side looked at it.
Logically speaking, after Czecher finished speaking, as the highest-ranking election of Mainz among the seven electoral emperors since ancient times, Eltar should first stand up and express his views, but at this moment, this old man
The elector closed his eyes as if he was resting.
After a full ten minutes of quiet, only Maximilian was heard speaking first:
"Dear His Highness, His Highness, before we elect the heir to the throne, I have a very important thing that requires all the elect to make a fair judgment! The death of His Majesty Joseph II was suddenly, and I have reason to believe in His Majesty's death.
It's not by chance, I suspect that some people or some forces have played very disgraceful roles in it......"
"I protest! Maximilian, you're completely slandering!"
Although Maximilian did not say it clearly, everyone sitting in the hall knew who he was alluding to. Therefore, before Maximilian finished speaking, someone suddenly stood up and interrupted him.
The one who interrupted Maximilian's speech was Leopold's eldest son Franz.
Franz is Leopold's eldest son and Anna's eldest brother. In history, this brother was later successfully crowned the throne of Emperor of the Holy Roman Empire. However, he also became the last emperor of the Holy Roman Empire. And this is the only one who has become the emperor of the Holy Roman Empire.
The most famous brother is his official announcement of the establishment of the Austrian Empire. At the same time, this king is also Napoleon's only son, the grandfather of the Roman king.
The reason why Leopold brought Franz to the Electoral Conference this time was because Leopold felt that his son was full of bad habits of aristocratic playboys. He hoped that Franz would pass this trip
The intrigue at the Electors' Meeting made it clear that some things were very beneficial to Franz's future development.
Franz's voice had just come to the ground, and Maximilian said dissatisfiedly:
"Franz, please pay attention to your identity. We are now convening the meeting of the Electors of the Empire. Only the seven Electors here have the right to speak. So, here, you have no right to speak!
Or maybe you dare to destroy the ancient, sacred rules because Leopold is your father!”
Maximilian's reprimand made Franz's cheeks flush. Just as he was about to refute, Leopold, who was sitting in front of him, shouted:
"Enough, sit down for me! Let the Elector of Cologne finish speaking!"
Hearing his father's words, Franz had to sit down, although he was reluctant, and after he sat down, Cornitz, who was sitting beside him, pulled his hand and signaled him not to be impulsive.
Although the ancient regulations allowed seven electoral princes to take two entourages to attend the meeting of the electoral princes, this move was mainly to prevent accidents from occurring during the meeting of the electoral princes. Therefore, the followers of these electors
They had no say, even the powerful officials like Konitz or Locks could not speak at the sacred meeting of the electorate without the consent of all the electorates.
Seeing Franz sitting reluctantly, Maximilian looked a little proud, and he glanced at Leopold provocatively. But to his disappointment, Leopold seemed not to look at him.
As long as his provocation was, he was still looking at Maximilian coldly.
"My Highness, what I say is not unfounded, and in my hands are evidence provided by several officers of the Guards of the Vienna Palace. These evidences clearly point out the death of His Majesty Joseph II and us
His Highness Leopold has great relations with the Elector of Emperor Leopold, and I hope that Leopold can give all the Electors an explanation on this matter!”
After saying that, Maximilian waved his hand behind him. Richard, who had originally sat behind him, immediately stood up and walked to the tables of the Electors and Czecher, and divided the information.
Stacked on their table.
After picking up the information, Leopold, who had already warned himself to be calm before, could not hold on now.
The information is divided into two parts. The first part was written by more than a dozen guard officers guarding the Vienna Palace, and at the end, there were signs and seals of these officers.
The officers admitted that at the end of last year, the entire Vienna Palace Guards were ordered by Leopold to start martial law, and the purpose of martial law was to protect Joseph II from outsiders.
Previously, Leopold personally ordered the entire Vienna Palace to be blocked immediately. No one could enter and exit the Vienna Palace without Leopold's order. Until the death of Joseph II, the entire Vienna Palace had been
Maintaining this abnormal blockade, they had reason to believe that Leopold wanted to isolate the emperor from the outside world to achieve the purpose of murdering Joseph II.
The second part was written by the royal dietary officer in charge of the diet of the Vienna Palace. The dietary officer confessed that since the end of last year, Leopold signaled him to put some additional items into His Majesty Joseph II's food.
Leopold told the dietary officer that these unknown things added were all health products that can enhance the body. At first, the dietary officer refused to obey, but under Leopold's coercion and temptation,
The dietary officer had to do the same, and at that time Leopold also instructed the dietary officer to keep it confidential. The document also contained the signature of the dietary officer.
These two items instantly surprised the emperors of the major elections, and the most exaggerated one was the election of Mainz. The old election was glaring at the boss, and while watching, he was trembling.
Indecent words such as wolf ambition, conspiracy, etc.
After reading it, William put the thing in his hand on Locks, who was sitting behind him, and at the same time, his eyes never left Leopold.
Leopold looked at the so-called evidence in his hand with a pale face. He admitted that the two things were all facts, and the first document naturally had no way to refute it, because the whole world knew the fact that he blocked the Vienna Palace.
Even he carried out the orders with the imperial edict of Joseph II.
And the second document is the real fatal thing!
You should know that Leopold did threaten the royal dietary officer to ask him to add some medicine to the food of Joseph II, because Joseph II was not willing to be disclosed in advance, but the emperor's illness had to be treated, and the royal family
Medical officials are the focus of attention of all spies, so in order to keep it secret, some drugs can naturally be prepared by the royal medical officer and handed over to Leopold, who will be treated with concealed means by Joseph II.
But this kind of thing cannot be said explicitly, so Leopold could only coerce and lure the dietary officer to make it impossible to talk nonsense. But who knew that these two confessions have now become Leopold's biggest problem at present,
Especially the latter part is simply a life-threatening thing.
"His Highness Leopold, I think you should explain this matter!"
After seeing it, Eltar rubbed his eyes and then stared at Leopold and said.
While Eltar was speaking, Karl Joseph, the electorate of Trier, also looked at Leopold with a complicated expression. Unlike Eltar, Karl Joseph has not yet made up his mind to support Maximilian.
Leopold and Carl Joseph still have feelings, and the relationship between the two can be traced back to more than 20 years ago, so Leopold can be regarded as Carl Joseph's friend.
After Maximilian grew up and succeeded the Elector of Cologne, he also respected Carl Joseph very much. Therefore, Carl Joseph really didn't know how to make a decision for these two brothers, but from the bottom of his heart, Carl Joseph was already a little bit
Facing Maximilian.
"I first declare that although I do not know where Maximilian found these evidences, the first one was completely correct, because last year I received the imperial edict from His Majesty the Emperor to put martial law on the Vienna Palace.
The imperial edict is a case to be investigated.
As for the second document, I felt very angry, because it was a naked slander or a frame-up! As the crown prince of the empire and the Bohemian elector, I disdain and cannot do these things.
, If there are really people who are planning to be ill, then I think these people who are planning to be ill should be those who have no chance to reach the peak of power, because only these people can do such a crazy move!”
Leopold admitted the first document but did not admit what the second document said, because once he admitted that there were many reasons and restrictions, he could not have completely confronted everyone. In this way, once he admitted, it would undoubtedly be given.
He put on a hat that he could never take off. Even though he said that the additives were real medicine, who would care? People only care whether he had added things to the emperor's food instead of
What is added is a good or bad question.
"Leopold, you still want to deny it. I tell you that some things cannot be recognized. A crazy person like you is not worthy of becoming the emperor of the empire!"
"Maximilian, you're enough! This is the Imperial Parliament Hall, not a vegetable market. If you put away your set of slander, all the electors can distinguish right from wrong, and you don't need to be here to provoke me!"
