prince of europe in quintiles

Will you give me face?

In this way, the two parties sat on the two stools in the front row with an unconcealable unfamiliarity.

Not together yet.

This atmosphere made the church extremely quiet.

Today, no one plays chess, sleeps, plays cards, chats, sings and dances, and no one masturbates. Everyone's only thought is to end it quickly and run away.

Enduring until the end of the mass, Monk Morris couldn't get any women, so he ran away early.

The nobles rushed to the front in a hurry, and left one by one through the small gates, but they couldn't escape because of the traffic jam.

Jones also had nothing to say to Conosha, she got up and prepared to leave from the side hall of the church.But when he walked out of the corridor, he smelled a sudden burst of fresh air outside, and his spleen and stomach trembled. He suddenly vomited into the garden of the church while leaning on the colonnade.

This is not a big problem at all.

But Conosha's eyes widened.The countess could also guess what might have happened to Jones with her fat, tender and warm buttocks.

Pregnant!

Like a normal male aristocrat, Horten shows what a man can do with his little motor in normal adolescence.

For the Countess, Jones' pregnancy was a terrible thing.Because this may mean that Jones' friend marriage, with the help of the church and aristocratic circle of friends, may be upgraded to a real wife.

Once Jones is allowed to go up, it will be even more difficult to get a divorce.

Unless one dies.

"Jones!"

Kang Nuosha lost control, even chased after her, and gave her girlfriend a resounding slap.

Seeing this scene, Monk Morris hurriedly hid his face, while Greya was stunned and dropped the wallet in his hand.

The few nobles who turned back hid this scene in their hearts after seeing it.

Ripped face.

The Countess and Jones were about to fight to the next round, and the nobles were not very concerned.They just hope that Huo Teng will come back quickly.

If they don't come back, the prodigal women will blow up Göttingen, which has just become independent and has finally seen some dawn!

Chapter 110 Four Trouble Comes, Everything Has It

Before Huo Teng left, he built 11 new villages on the west side of the river around the distance from the Free City of Göttingen to Bowenden Village.

This laid the groundwork for Jones to call up the army.

But Conosha is also the Countess, who is in charge of the army of the entire Earl.

The two women had secretly issued several rounds of private call-up orders, but all the knights, squires, and conscripts all refused.

Although their reasons are a bit nonsense, on the surface they are all talking about busy farming, but it is almost May, is it still busy?European farmers are not so diligent.

In fact, the two of them didn't really want to start a war. It's just that if you post it, I will post it too. If you both say something, I will add another word, so that the relationship will start to spiral down without limit.

Seeing this, the nobles of Göttingen hurriedly sent a letter to Huo Teng, asking the palace minister to come back quickly.

……

On the way home, Huoteng passed by the Earl of Fulda, hoping to find a chance to visit the enemy Pope John XVI.Does this unlucky guy whose facial features have been cut off regret listening to the arrangement of the Cresentius family, a powerful family in Rome who had dominated the pope election for decades, and stood up against Emperor Otto in the north?

It is a pity that the Earl of Fulda resolutely refused that Horten would bring this group of murderous troops into the monastery where John XVI was.It wasn't that he was worried that Huo Teng would take the opportunity to do something bad, but he was afraid that John XVI would be robbed by Huo Teng with his clothes after being frightened to death.

Now the situation is unclear, and the Otto family has gone from being glorious back then to being almost extinct today.

John XVI, the mistakes made by Otto III during his reign are a weight.A weight in favor of negotiating a deal.If the nobles of the Otto faction are in power, then John XVI will be in charge of it; if the nobles of the anti-Otto faction seize power, then John XVI will be promoted immediately and join as the leader of the opposition.

Don't look at the titles of Otto III as "Servant of Jesus Christ", "Servant of the Apostles", "Consul of the Roman Senate and Citizens", and "Emperor of the World". In fact, Otto III was young, but he was ruthless.He once killed and seriously injured this pair of useless opponents when Cresentius II, the magnate of Rome, launched John XVI.

The one who was seriously injured was John XVI, and the one who died, Cresenius II, was hanged on Monte Mario on the banks of the Tiber River.And was deprived of all honorary titles during his lifetime.

The most embarrassing thing is that in order to dispel his behavior of killing nobles, Otto III even specially arranged a pilgrimage trip to Benevento, where a hermit was arranged to meet him, and said that Otto III's pilgrimage had already passed. reached, so his act of strangling the nobles has been atoned for.He was even praised as a benevolent king and received many compliments.

Very Christian, as long as he atones for his sins, he can kill.It can also be seen from this point that Otto III inherited the bravery and strategic vision of his grandfather Otto the Great, as well as the maneuvers of his father Otto II, and the cruelty of his mother, Queen Adelaide.Therefore, if Otto III was not accidentally killed by a sudden epidemic, then on another world line after he was in power for decades, maybe the Western Roman Empire would really be rebuilt.

It's a pity that there is no if.The last idealistic emperor dedicated to the establishment of the Romanian Empire died, and all subsequent German-born emperors realized that they must concentrate on building the Frankish mainland.Let's be realistic, idealists are ultimately dead ends.

"Isn't it just meeting a prisoner? As if I'm going to steal the fuck away."

Huo Teng cursed and left the Earl of Fulda, and a little further north was the Earl of Kassel.

At this time, the Earl of Kassel, after seeing Huo Teng passing by, not only did not dare to stop him, but even hid in fear, fearing that Huo Teng would chase him to the door and kill people.

At the end of last year, the three counties of Kassel, Göttingen and Weimar were still in a peaceful atmosphere where you hit me and I smoke you.This year, Huo Teng has made his name spread across Franconia and surrounding countries with a successful expedition, and he is very popular.Originally Huo Teng's defeated opponent, the Earl of Kassel completely broke his guts, and he didn't have the courage to look Huo Teng at all.

Huo Teng did not kill them all, but just bypassed Kasselburg ostentatiously, set off and continued to move forward, trying to return to Göttingen County before May.

But God did not wish.

On the border where there was a battle with the Earl of Kassel, when Huo Teng learned that there was a possibility of a civil war in the territory, his head was about to fly away.

"What? This is impossible, Jones and Connorsa are best friends..." Huo Teng turned around numbly, not knowing what to do.

The so-called upright official can't decide housework, Huo Teng also can't figure out which of these two women he should choose.

Moreover, the news was not blocked. All the expeditionary knights, as well as the mercenaries who came back with Huo Teng, shrank their heads curiously outside Huo Teng's tent.

If two male nobles met with swords at this moment, then these knights probably couldn't wait to go home, ready to draw their swords against their comrades in the next battlefield.

But fortunately, this time it was two women who were jealous.

It is well known that women often did not have full guardianship in the Middle Ages.In other words, in the official definition of the Christian kingdom, women are men's vassals, and women should be led and supervised by men by nature.While this is far from politically correct, it is true in this day and age.

Coupled with the well-known affair between Huo Teng and the Countess Conosha, and the identity of Jones' unofficial wife, in short, everyone regards this matter as Huo Teng's own private matter.

Your personal affairs, I don't eat melons for fun, do I accompany you worrying about the country and the people?

Huo Teng, who was eating melons to watch the theater, was furious and immediately drove the spectators away.

When sister-in-law Amelia heard about it, she hurried over and said, "You silly guy, how can you expose your affair? You are too unprofessional."

Yes, what Amelia mocked was that Huo Teng was not professional enough.

For the vagabond of any period, not being caught by his wife or lover is the real profession.

"Then what to do..."

Huo Teng was a little upset.

Amelia patted her chest, calming Huo Teng and said in her heart: "Don't worry, I'll take care of this matter. Isn't it just a trouble between women? Let me take care of it."

Huo Teng had no choice but to ask Amelia to be a mediator.

But Huo Teng himself had to live in the temporary camp he set up when he defeated Kassel County last year.After many knights came back, they also dispersed.Huo Teng specifically asked these guys not to spread gossip between Huo Teng and the two women after returning home, but to boast of Huo Teng's record in Franconia.

But it's a pity that the people of Göttingen don't really want to know how many nobles Horten defeated in Franconia.

They just want to eat melons, and they just want to see Huo Teng being torn and tortured by women.

……

While eating melons on the border of the Principality of Kassel, Horten's ally in Weimar County on the east side, Bishop Magde hurriedly sent someone to deliver a letter.

"The bishop told me to tell you, don't wait any longer. Be careful!"

The second monk Huo Tengzhang couldn't figure it out, so he had to open the letter and read it.

The letter was in plain language, but it was indistinguishable from a cipher, since it was written in Latin.Most nobles can't understand it, let alone ordinary civilians.

The things mentioned in this letter are also very simple, the location of the next Imperial Parliament has already been selected.

Erfurt, the capital of the Principality of Thuringia.

The Duchy of Thuringia is a large area on the east side of Weimar County, twice the size of Weimar County, not too big.In ancient times, the Kingdom of Thuringia, a Germanic tribe, was merged into Germany after being destroyed by Frank.Although the nobles here all claim to be from the Principality of Thuringia, most outsiders evaluate Thuringia according to the standards of feudal vassals or counties.After all, this place is not too big, but the location is very good. It communicates with the Principality of Saxony in the north, the Principality of Franconia in the south, and the Marquis of Meissen in the east.

The problem is that the Duke of Thuringia is Eckard I.

Eckard I was a native of Thuringia. His father was the Marquis of Merseburg, and he belonged to the blood of the local ace. Therefore, after loyally serving the Otto royal family, he was named... the Marquis of Meissen.

Meissen is located on the easternmost side of Germany today, an area on the south side of Berlin and Brandenburg.At this time, it was still the forefront of resistance to the Slavic tribes.Eckard I was sent here, belonging to the type with a lot of work and little money, but with great potential.What if it didn't grow up?Die or die.

The poor and miserable Eckard I accepted the appointment, but soon after the death of Otto II, he ran back to Thuringia and was elected Duke of Thuringia (without royal certification, which was cited by later , as evidence that they made dukes without royal recognition).

Having said so much, what is the problem with Eckard I?

This guy's wife is the younger sister of Bernard I, Duke of Saxony!Swanishild!

When Eckard I took over the Marquis of Meissen, he even took over the wife of the former Marquis!

I don't know if he is addicted to taking orders, but he even gave birth to seven children with Swanhild in one breath.

He is an ally of the Principality of Saxony, can Huo Teng not be afraid?

Based on the dark history of the assassination of the Saxons, it is possible that Horten was assassinated on the main road as soon as he entered Thuringia.

Don't stop singing at that time, and it can't be undone.

Historically, when Eckard I elected the emperor, he was assassinated in the Imperial Parliament because he was unwilling to accept the interference of the Principality of Saxony and did not want his uncle Bernard to frequently interfere with his movements.

But now history has turned a corner, and Eckard I survived.

He and Bernard haven't broken their skin yet...

Chapter 110 five clever sister-in-law

If it was just a housework, then all the problems could still be resolved through Huo Teng's concession and oppression.

But this time it directly interfered with the upcoming imperial meeting and Huo Teng's personal safety when he attended the meeting.Not to mention, if Eckard I joins hands with his brother-in-law in the north, he can let go of the estrangement between the two superficial brothers. Once Huo Teng goes to the meeting, he will jump into hell with half a foot.

It can only be said that fortunately Jones is pregnant, so Huo Teng has a queen no matter what.

Of course, Horten can choose not to go, but he has been asked by the Luxembourg family, as a reward for mediating and reconciling the war, to be the first to propose at the Imperial Conference to elect Heinrich (German), that is, Henry (French, two words) agree) to run for Duke of Bavaria.He is the eldest brother-in-law of the late duke, and he is the closest blood relationship, so the chance of being selected is quite high.

Horten could not give up the support of the Luxembourg family just because he was afraid of death.Reputation must be upheld. If you get on the bed of the Luxembourg family now, turn around and kick someone off, who will be willing to stand in the same trench as you in the future?

It must be noted that the Imperial Council refers to a discussion meeting between the emperor and his ministers on recent affairs.It can also be regarded as an ordinary forehead touching, chatting about the current situation of the country, and deciding on the recent governing policy.This is not a legislative body, because it does not have enough powerful monarchy to support it. It is more like a forum of hundreds of schools, where everyone is noisy and discussing what to do about this matter.

Now it is only the initial stage of the Imperial Parliament. There is no three-level system of electors, princes, and cities, and there is no clear elector confirmed by the Golden Seal Edict. Everything is still at the most basic stage.

The truly formal imperial parliament refers specifically to the succession meeting that elects a new emperor.According to the official regulations, the princes of the whole country should gather in Frankfurt, the city where the Franks first emerged, and then the Archbishop of Mainz presided over the meeting as the speaker of the parliament.All the princes have one vote each, and the archbishop has the last vote.After the election is completed, the new emperor will get a complete set of "emperor's use", including holy sword, holy spear, emperor's crown, emperor's orb, etc., and then the coronation is considered as the completion of the first half of the election of the emperor.In the second half of the journey, you have to go to Rome to complete the real coronation ceremony. Before that, it was just the Romanian king.

Of course, according to the tradition at this time, the emperor usually holds a coronation ceremony in the Paladine Cathedral in Aachen, so here, the Archbishop of Cologne is the speaker, and the two of Mainz and Trier The archbishop serves as assistant.With the development of time, which church the emperor went to and what kind of ceremony he performed changed.

But there is one thing that can prove the cultural connection between the Roman Empire and Germany at this time.At the time of the coronation, both parties will have the custom of kissing the shoes (and possibly nipples) of the newly crowned emperor.

Not just communication, the two sides often send missionaries to spray each other.The German priests believed that the Roman Empire had moved to Constantinople and had already left New Rome. The priest sprayed all over his body and beat him in different ways.

But no matter how the priests in Rome change their tricks and innovate, they cannot defeat the core argument of the German priests: the Roman Empire without the city of Rome, Fela, is unbearable; the Romanian Empire with the city of Rome is full of military virtues.Let you come all the way, I will go all the way.

It's not that they can't complain, they have ten thousand ways to explain that Rome's luck has been transferred to New Rome.It's just that the German priests stick to this one, after all, this is a matter of personal testimony.

Perhaps this is also the only pride in the hearts of German priests in backward areas.

"This is...emmm..."

Huo Teng squatted on his bed, looking at the rough map and fell into long-term thinking.

The Marquis of Meissen is actually dilapidated.Since the Slavic uprising in 983, the Saxon army lost in the Battle of the Elbe, and the entire northeastern part of Germany was a mess.Important parishes such as Brandenburg were destroyed by the Slavic tribes, and a large number of Slavic people went south or crossed the river into the German region.

The same is true for the Marquis of Meissen, where there are Germans in the city and Slavic tribesmen everywhere outside the city.

In fact, this can no longer be called a state.It is simply a fortress deep in the enemy's territory.However, the German states have never been able to come up with strong measures.After all, that place originally belonged to the local Slavic tribe.The German colonists were driven away, and it was extremely difficult for the army that had lost its regional foundation to gain a foothold there.

Can you try to win Eckard's support, or at least an understanding?

[Main task: The swords and soldiers are hidden in the pen and ink.In the midst of internal and external troubles, you find that you have to be angry with the two women inside, and you have to worry about the uneasiness of the upcoming imperial parliament outside.Requirements: Successfully complete the Imperial Conference held in the Principality of Thuringia in summer.Reward: A courier that can make quick contacts. 】

……

While Huo Teng was squatting on the bed, thinking about how to deal with Eckard, his sister-in-law Amelia appeared in Bowendeng Village with the task of persuading the two women to reconcile.

As the knights returned home one after another, Horten's glorious record in Franconia still spread to a certain extent.

Amelia also lived up to expectations and returned early.In the eyes of many knights, she was sent by Huo Teng to serve as an outpost in order to resolve the conflict between husband and wife.

However, Amelia was extremely rare and didn't go anywhere.

She used her little brain and learned some good things from Huo Teng, a wise man full of wit and tricks.

"Aren't you going to Göttingenburg?" The old father Madi couldn't bear it anymore and came to ask.
