After letting Wendy go, Matthew followed suit and arrived.
When the soldier in charge of the guard saw that Matthew was not a member of the royal family, he became furious and rushed forward waving his halberd.
"This is royal territory. Who are you? How dare you..."
Before he could finish his words, the captain next to him flew up and kicked him away.
The captain stood at attention on the roadside, saluted, and said loudly: "Master Matthew, please come this way!"
Although Matthew is a king, the highest title within the empire's legal territory is that of duke. The captain was right.
Matthew nodded at him and threw a bag of gold coins casually as a reward for his knowledge and knowledge.
Watching Matthew making a decisive move and picking up the bag of gold coins, the guard captain smiled from ear to ear.
Look at Duke Matthew, how grand he is, he gets fifty gold coins every time he makes a move.
He looked at the soldier lying on the ground who was still groaning after being kicked by him, and kicked him again angrily.
"Are you fucking blind?"
"Do you know who that was just now? That was Duke Mathieu, the Elector!"
The kicked soldier stood up angrily and muttered in a low voice: "I know he is an elector, but he is neither an emperor nor a member of the royal family."
"Idiot, please remember this. This year is an election year. From the beginning of the new year until the new emperor is elected, the elector and the emperor enjoy the same treatment."
"This is royal territory, not the territory of a certain family, do you understand?"
The soldier who was kicked down responded submissively and did not dare to speak.
Seeing his stupid look, the captain didn't bother to say anything.
He weighed the bag of gold coins in his hand, with a smile on his face.
What does knowledge mean to change destiny? This is it!
He is just a garrison captain and does not even have a formal establishment. He is a non-staff member enjoying the national establishment.But he likes to read, and has taught himself the various laws and regulations of the empire over the years, and is well aware of the various laws and regulations of the empire.
Precisely because of his studies, he knew that electing an emperor within these four months was equivalent to becoming a little emperor.
Matthew's coming here is completely reasonable and legal. Anyone who dares to stop him will die in vain even if he is killed on the spot. Blocking and charging the king is a serious crime. If he doesn't hold his family accountable, he has earned it.
Looking at the soldiers trying to stop Matthew, the captain snorted coldly and came to the side with a somewhat disdainful expression on his lips.
What's there to say to such a fool? Isn't it nice to count gold coins?
The captain's on-the-spot reaction may be a major event in his life, but to Matthew it is just an episode.
In his view, although the captain was skilled in the business, he was only doing his job.That is, the idiot next to him is really stupid, which makes him stand out.
Matthew patted his horse and came to the halfway point of Lone Peak. He dismounted and walked, following Wendy's footsteps.
Wendy didn't look back and said softly: "I'm sorry, I was impulsive again."
"Why are you saying sorry? You just did a good job."
Matthew imitated Wendy's gesture of drawing the sword, made a cool POSS, and then repeated what Wendy just said with a serious expression.
He acted too hard, making his movements somewhat comical.
Wendy, who was still sullen at first, couldn't hold back her laughter after holding it in for a long time.
After laughing, he gave Matthew an elbow and said softly: "Thank you. But your performance was really ugly."
"His Royal Highness is so heroic, can you imitate it?"
When he heard the word heroic, Matthew shrugged and said with a smile: "That's really hard to learn."
Heroic is a word used to describe a girl's heroic spirit, but this Matthew really can't do it.
A simple word revealed Wendy's true heart.
Matthew sighed in his heart and accepted Aishanya's words. It seemed that Wendy was indeed the girl's soul, but she was accidentally born in a man's body.
After this little fuss, Wendy's mood was not as bad as before.
He asked softly: "Matthew, what do you think is going on today?"
Matthew spread his hands and shrugged.
"You don't even know what your father is thinking, how can I know?"
Wendy was speechless for a moment, but now his mind was in confusion, so he could only hold Matthew's sleeves and softly plead.
"You are a bystander, and bystanders know everything. Come and analyze it for me."
"Okay, let's start from scratch then."
Matthew stretched out his index finger and said seriously: "First of all, let's establish a premise. Mature politicians have tempers, but they generally don't act impulsively. They will always choose the option that is most beneficial to them."
Wendy nodded in agreement.
With Matthew's reminder, he gradually calmed down.
Yes, both my father and brother are shrewd politicians.Although they are not wise kings and holy masters, at least they are not stupid and incompetent wastes.
Especially my father, who has been elected emperor for two consecutive terms, has steadily suppressed the Hoffenhager family, and is very shrewd in his political skills.
How could such a shrewd person suddenly lose his head?
Impossible, absolutely impossible!
Matthew continued: "Under this premise, we will continue to discuss. What do they want? Only by knowing their purpose can we make a judgment."
"Of course it is to maintain the family rule and renew the throne for another ten years."
Wendy said lightly.
These are not open-book exams, but the answers are printed directly on the paper.
Everything the Himilun family has done over the years is to maintain their rule.
It is said that the Claire Empire is an empire in bulk, but no matter how bulk it is, it is still an empire.
In this grassland battle, more than [-] imperial troops cooperated with the royal army to directly destroy the vast Huoxun Khanate. Who dares to underestimate the strength of the empire?
Continuing to retain the position of emperor is the primary goal of the Himilon family.
In order to achieve this goal, they could even make a deal with Matthew and exchange the territory of a province for Matthew's support.
Wendy said with a grimace: "Then I can't figure it out. If it is to safeguard the emperor's position, this triumphal ceremony is the best opportunity, bar none."
"Why?"
Matthew said patiently: "I know you are anxious, but don't be impatient. Let's analyze it slowly."
"Behind every bizarre incident, there is often a very reasonable explanation."
"Then tell me how to explain it." Wendy covered her head and shook it vigorously.
"It's very simple. What if your father wants Prince Jensen to be the emperor?"
Matthew pinpointed the root of the problem.
The color on Wendy's face disappeared instantly, her handsome face was as pale as a piece of paper, and she almost couldn't stand still.
Matthew was afraid that he would fall off the edge of the cliff and grabbed him by the shoulders.
Before Matthew could speak, Wendy had already thrown herself into Matthew's arms, crying so hard.
Matthew's hand was frozen in the air, and he didn't know where to put it, so he could only pat his shoulder gently and comforted softly:
"Don't cry, I'm just guessing, maybe."
"What is this? When did I say I wanted to be emperor? Why do you doubt me! I don't care at all!"
Wendy bit her lip, her eyes were red, and she shouted angrily: "I want to see my father, and I want to go now!"
Chapter 263 Prophecy
Matthew did not persuade Wendy not to go, he knew that this kind of thing could not be persuaded at all.
He just pressed Wendy's shoulder and said: "Wendy, remember this, just act your true self!"
Wendy nodded. Do you still need Matthew to remind you?
He wanted to let his father know what kind of person he was now.
Before Wendy set off, Matthew thought again and again and finally stopped him.
"If you trust me, let me add a soul-based magic to you. I want to see up close what happened to your father."
Wendy agreed without hesitation.
The magic that Matthew used was a small soul-based skill with a low level, which was to put the tentacles of his soul on Wendy to share his perception.
The effect of this magic is very good, but the release conditions are very harsh and require a lot of trust between the caster and the recipient.
If one of Matthew and Wendy has bad intentions, the other will suffer.
Matthew is like a cat hanging on the ADC. Not only can he peek at the screen, but he can also help Wendy improve her combat effectiveness.
Although the chance of a battle at Schönbrunn Palace is low, it must be guarded against.
The behavior of the Windsor Emperor was so strange that neither Matthew nor Wendy could understand it, so they could only adapt to the situation.
Riding on her horse, Wendy ran wildly for more than an hour and finally arrived at Schonbrunn Palace, the royal garden in the west of the city.
There are two clear springs and a hot spring in this palace. The building was designed by a famous mainland architectural artist. It is full of artistic flavor and has a beautiful environment, which is very suitable for vacation.
It was early spring, and the imperial capital of Verona was quite cool in the morning and night. Soaking in the hot springs here, and then enjoying the silky smoothness with your lovely wife and concubine in your arms was indeed the ultimate enjoyment of life.
As an emperor, it is normal to enjoy yourself.But what is abnormal is that Windsor does not even care about fulfilling the duties of the emperor.
If that's the case, it can be explained by the fact that he is lazy now.
But now he seems to have no interest in running for the next emperor.
This is the most unreasonable place.
Even if Windsor doesn't want to be emperor, she should support her son to ascend to the throne.
Jenson cannot compare with Jessica Hoffenhager in terms of ability or prestige.Even if Matthew is willing to support the Himilun family, it will only be one more duke vote.
The elector's vote is very valuable, and the duke can count as a king-level vote, but there are at least hundreds of great nobles in the empire, and Matthew's vote will not have much impact.
Even if he brings over all the nobles with whom he has good relations, he will only get a few votes at most.
This is also the fundamental reason why Matthew is willing to give up participating in the election of emperor.
Matthew's basic ticket position is too thin.
If Matthew wanted to be emperor, it was unrealistic to expect elections.And he has no interest in the mess that is Claire's empire.
That's why he chose to cooperate with Windsor Himilen back then because he wanted to have more firm allies and then develop southward to establish the most vast Fourth Reich.
It was a good idea, but who knew there would be a problem on the Windsor Emperor's side.
What Matthew is most worried about is not that Janson will take over. This guy has great ambitions but little talent. Even if the two sides turn against each other, he would not have the guts to go south and confront Matthew.
With Wendy watching from the empire, Janson couldn't make any big troubles.
Matthew is most worried about the Hoffenhager family coming to power.
He has many enemies in this world, but the Hoffenhager family is definitely the one with the deepest hatred.
The revenge of killing a son can only be washed away with blood.
Matthew is worried that the Hoffenhager family is behind the Windsor Emperor's unusual behavior.
He possessed the spirit of Wendy just because he wanted to see the real Emperor of Windsor.
What the emperor didn't want to say in front of him would not be hidden in front of Wendy.
After all, he was his son, and he was so confident that he led an army to win the battle.
Although Wendy and Janson were very unhappy today, they were a family after all. As long as Wendy did not seek to succeed, he and Janson had no fundamental conflict.
Walking into Schonbrunn Palace, Wendy followed Matthew's reminder and started her true performance.
If it was normal Wendy, she would be very angry at this time.
So, he rushed into Schonbrunn Palace angrily, and even kicked away the palace guards who came to question him.
The noise of his entering the palace was so great that the emperor could only send the captain of the guard over to check the movement.
