Warlock Royal Family

At the New Year's Day mass, the true pope did not excommunicate King François of France, revoked the oath of allegiance of the French nobles to the king, and called on the dark followers of France to take action against their king as requested by the emperor.

This naturally made the emperor quite angry.

It is also the reason why the emperor gave the distribution of goods to Ladislaus rather than any other member of the Roman Church.

If the Pope is really elected to lift the obligations of the dark believers to the feudal lord, then careerists will have a greater chance of launching a rebellion. Even if no nobles immediately revolt, it is bound to make King Francois I of France have to allocate a certain amount of money. Strength stays on the alert.

The last royal family of the Holy Roman Empire, the Hohenstaufen family, perished because they were excommunicated and then besieged by various nobles.

However, the loss of the east, the harvest of the mulberry, the emperor's big goal was not achieved, but it made his few small goals much easier to achieve.

For example, some things that Cardinal Sforza did.

Cardinal Sforza put on the most formal cardinal dress today. His dress is slightly different from other cardinals. The gold trim and silver embroidery are extravagant and extraordinary. The purple scale on his shoulder symbolizes his Roman church The position of chief political officer.

Because His Majesty the Pope Adrian VI was going to summon him in the Sistine Chapel, he specially put on a formal dress, although he still holds the position of chief minister, nominally the most important assistant of the Pope , but in fact the power of the two is very different. The Orsini and Colonna families who are deeply rooted in Rome are the leaders of the second group.

So being able to get a separate summons in the Sistine Chapel is also a rare thing for Cardinal Sforza today.

When the Duchy of Milan was in the hands of the Sforza family, although the relationship with the main branch was bad, Bishop Sforza was a frequent visitor to the Sistine Chapel at that time. The cousins ​​who hated each other turned out to be dependent on each other.

However, Cardinal Sforza was not discouraged. For decades, the Sforza family had ups and downs. They were driven out of Milan several times because of internal fighting and foreign enemies. The wife is a member of the Sforza family. Although the husband and wife are not in harmony and have no children, the alliance between the two families has always been reliable.The Sforza family has always been able to get the support of the warlock royal family, and they have successfully recaptured the Duchy of Milan with strong support every time.

Now the task of restoring the Sforza family falls entirely on his shoulders. Although the Kingdom of France is powerful, there is nothing to be afraid of with the support of the Habsburg family.

Cardinal Sforza once again hired himself a pep talk.

Of course, Ladislaus' move to poach Baron Galliani is also worthy of vigilance, but this is also a helpless thing.

At least the emperor Charles V is generally good, and now the cardinal has become the last male member of the Sforza family, and the emperor has proposed that one of his younger sisters, an illegitimate daughter of the previous emperor, Betrothed to the cardinal, and a dowry of [-] talers was offered.

Not only is the dowry of [-] talers very generous, but it also shows that the Habsburg family is still considering the restoration of the Duchy of Milan in terms of general policy. Of course, when to give up the teaching position must be carefully considered.

After all, the position of public security officer seems to be the right time to play a role.

The marriage proposal was a reward for Cardinal Sforza's recent work. Although the Pope Elect finally rejected his proposal to openly break with the King of France, relying on the authority of the magistrate himself, no matter how weak his position, Sforza The Cardinal can also play a little role.

He has recently adjudicated many lawsuits over the ownership of small religious territories in a row, and some of the decapitation lawsuits have dragged on for decades. Suddenly, there are all the witnesses and evidence, and several old men who can't even remember their names, all of a sudden I remembered the last words I heard decades ago, and these last words were surprisingly consistent. Before dying, I confessed my contempt for the great empire and demanded that the religious territories under my jurisdiction be returned to the royal family.

There is also the written will that popped up out of nowhere, which is undoubtedly very, very reliable, and it must not have just been written by a professional fake certificate maker in a Roman prison.

All of a sudden, more than a dozen of the lands occupied by the small and medium-sized princes after the vacancy of bishops or abbots in the Holy Roman Empire were awarded to the acting Archduke Ferdinand for 75 years. These territories are mainly in Switzerland and Alsace, near the After 75 years, it is impossible for the Habsburg family to spit out the territory of the Habsburg family. After all, the possibility exists forever. Of course, this probability is similar to the eternal peace of the world.

Of course, the Deputy Grand Duke also guarantees that the rights and interests of the Holy See in these religious territories will not be damaged. The annual tithe tax will definitely be paid, and these territories will also be managed by people arranged by the Roman Church, but the sovereignty belongs to the Deputy Grand Duke. The Deputy Grand Duke The right to levy feudal taxes and mobilize local manpower.

There were also several knightly territories with extinct lineages, which were handed over to the Holy See to decide whether the collateral lineages were eligible to inherit, and they were also returned to the Deputy Grand Duke.

Rejected all requests from collateral members.

This is what is meant by the so-called east corner of loss and mulberry elm harvest.

Originally, although the small and medium-sized German princes were not strong in speaking in the dark cardinal group, the French cardinals would naturally come out to make trouble for this kind of strengthening of the power of the Habsburg family.

However, after the war started recently, several French cardinals went to the Duke of Bourbon's army or returned to France to serve. I can't make a sound.

After the true Pope rejected the main request of Emperor Charles V, perhaps he considered avoiding too much stimulation to his former students, and did not interfere with the problems of these small territories, and acquiesced in Cardinal Sforza's "fairness, justice and openness" ruling.

Cardinal Sforza has also been immersed in Vanity Fair for many years, and the timing is really good. Although the true election of the pope did not give him a righteous name, but so many fragmented territories were managed at once. It's really not a small benefit.

This series of benefit transfers allowed Cardinal Sforza to win a lot of points in front of the emperor and acting grand duke.

Except for a side sister, after he gave up his position in the church, he could immediately recognize his title of Duke of Milan.

However, the time has not yet come. Anyway, it is not too late to rectify the name after driving away the French army in Milan. There are still many lawsuits, waiting for the justice of Cardinal Sforza to decide.

The current situation is much better than the previous few months. The Sforza family who did nothing at that time was really hopeless. Although the emperor's reward has not yet been fulfilled, the warlock royal family has been repaying all kindness and hatred since its rise. , It is the principle of life to live without loss. Anyone who receives benefits must admit it, and there will be feedback.

As I walked, I thought that it had been a while since I entered the Vatican Castle.

Cardinal Sforza rectified his appearance at the entrance of the Sistine Chapel. He guessed that today the Pope is probably elected and wants to beat himself a little for the latest judgment, but this is not a big deal. Now Sforza in red The bishop's real boss wasn't the one in the Sistine Chapel.

The door of opportunity has been opened. No matter how many difficulties and obstacles lie ahead, I must rebuild the Duchy of Milan.

Watched by the Swiss guards, Cardinal Sforza stepped into the Sistine Chapel with his head held high.
