As usual, only the Himmelen and Hoffenhage families participated in the election.
But the results were completely different from previous years.
In recent elections, the vote count has been very tight, and the winning Himilun family has never received more than two-thirds of the absolute majority.
They won with a slight advantage every time, which is why Emperor Windsor turned to win over Matthew after confirming that Matthew was no threat to the emperor's position.
He needs to guarantee electoral victory.
The Emperor of Windsor did many things which translated into votes at election time.
Matthew led all the great nobles in the province of Groningen to vote for the Himilen family, causing the election results to be somewhat one-sided.
Not only did many traditional neutral zones vote for the Himilun family, but several nobles who originally belonged to the Hoffenhager family camp also voted for the Himilun family.
The reason why these people changed their families is also very simple. They may not like the Himilen family, but they are even less optimistic about the Hoffenhager family.
Mr. Hoffenhager stood on the side of the Church of Dusk in the Battle of the Square, openly opposing the Holy See.His future is probably the same as that of the Twilight Sect, which is approaching dusk.
The Pope has a hundred ways to play with him, but he can only hide in his own territory and survive.
Just like Matthew did back then.
If nothing else goes wrong, Diana will definitely announce that she will revoke his status as a believer in the near future.
Since he believes in the Twilight Sect, there is naturally no place for him in the Holy See.
This is reasonable.
Everyone just doesn't quite understand why Diana didn't announce it before the election started.
But no matter what, there is no suspense in this election.
The old emperor Windsor abdicated, the new emperor Janson Himmelen ascended the throne, and the election ended.
After the election, the new Pope Diana crowned the new emperor.
The entire imperial capital witnessed the emperor's handover process.
In recent years, the empire has been in a state of decadence, but in recent years, the empire has seemed to suddenly have a second spring.
Matthew, Wendy and others destroyed two kingdoms and opened up territory for the empire.
Although the newly established Kingdom of Phoenix is an independent kingdom, it is a loyal ally with the Empire, and King Matthew is one of the electors of the Empire.
Most citizens believe that even if Matthew establishes his own business, the Phoenix Kingdom will still be a friend of the Empire.
In short, the empire is on the mend.
As for the turmoil in the square, that is an internal matter of the Holy See and they don't care about it.
After Pope Diana came to power, the atmosphere of the Holy See took on a new look, making it somewhat unrecognizable to the believers.
The clergy who were usually arrogant and domineering now speak much more kindly.
The people of the empire don't know if this is a permanent change or if the newly opened toilets only last for three days, but it can't be worse.
People gradually accepted the leadership of Pope Diana and forgot about the old and useless Pope Eugene.
They don't know how much struggle and game there is behind it. They only discuss topics they like.
Just when everyone thought everything was calming down, the defeated Elector King Hoffenhager left the imperial capital and returned to his territory.
At the same time that he left the imperial capital, Diana publicly announced the excommunication of Mr. Hoffenhager.
Just like Matthew could only live in his own territory after losing his religious membership, Mr. Hoffenhager can only live in his own territory in the future.
Fortunately, his territory was large enough, occupying seven provinces in the eastern part of the empire. Even if Mr. Hoffenhager rode the fastest horse to patrol the territory, he would not be able to patrol the entire territory in his short life.
Anyway, he's in jail in his own home.
Mr. Hoffenhager's ending was no surprise.
People just thought it was kind of funny.
Mr. Cauchon has a very close relationship with King Hoffenhager. Many people believe that Matthew's confinement in the territory after being deprived of his religious membership eight years ago is inseparable from the Hoffenhager family.
Eight years have passed. Mr. Hoffenhager, who was full of energy and pointed his sword at the throne of the emperor, is now grounded in despair. The person who made this decision was Diana who went to Matthew's territory to prepare for the investigation and assassination.
The relationship between Pope Diana and Matthew was ambiguous, and she even lived in Matthew's house without any suspicion.
If they said they were innocent, even dogs wouldn't believe it.
People are surprised by the fickleness of fate.
Matthew and Jessica Hoffenhager's fortunes have completely turned around.
I just wonder if Mr. Hoffenhager still has a chance to make a comeback?
The crowd unanimously believed that the chance of a comeback was probably gone.
Matthew has the backing of gods, the support of the Pope, good friends with the royal family, and he is an invincible and famous general.
With such a huge advantage, I simply don’t know how to lose.
Unless a demigod-level superpower comes forward to take action personally or a god comes to the world, there is no chance.
Shortly after Mr. Hoffenhager left the imperial capital, the Holy See finally took action.
In just three days, at least three hundred high-ranking clergy were arrested, tried, and killed.
Matthew does not want to kill more people. According to his idea, the prisoner must have solid evidence, serious crime and great public outrage before he can be sentenced to death.
Diana accepted his advice and followed it to the letter.
Then something happened that silenced Matthew.
Despite such strict standards, so many clergy were still brought to justice.
These more than 300 people are only those who were sentenced to death for heinous crimes, and there are countless more people who were sentenced to imprisonment.
Such a shocking number caught both Matthew and Deanna somewhat unexpectedly.
They had to weigh whether to kill so many people.
This is still only three days. If the investigation continues, these people who have already entered the water will definitely continue to bite others out of desperation.
When all the problems are investigated, more people will definitely die.
Diana sat there silently. Just as Matthew was thinking about how to comfort her, Diana asked softly:
“Matthew, if you were the Pope, what would you do?”
"I'd probably resign on the spot," Matthew said half-jokingly.
Diana was stunned for a few seconds, then said with a wry smile: "It would be great if I could be so willful."
"But I can't."
Matthew approached Diana, gently held her head, and lent his broad chest to Diana.
Diana, who was so angry with these dogs, simply closed her eyes and enjoyed the moment of silence.
After an unknown amount of time, Deanna said softly: "Thank you, Matthew. I'm much better now."
"I want to go to bed early and leave these things to worry about tomorrow."
Matthew didn't say anything more. He gave Diana another hug, said good night and left.
After leaving Diana's yard, Matthew saw that the lights in Wendy's room were still on, but the lights in Shirley's and others' rooms were all turned off, so he simply walked towards Wendy's room.
Although Prince Wendy has his own mansion, he also has a separate courtyard here in Matthew, and he has often stayed in Matthew recently.
The ostensible reason was naturally to communicate and discuss with Matthew.
Matthew's wife and contractors also experienced a long mental journey from hostility and doubt to gradual acceptance of Wendy.
They gradually realized that it would be awkward to think of Wendy as a boy.
But if you think of Wendy as a girl, it is very easy to accept it.
Anyway, with Andre as a vivid example in front of them, they had no choice but to treat Wendy as a girl with their eyes closed.
Matthew didn't knock, but opened the door casually.
Wendy knew that Matthew was coming without looking up.
He was the only one who didn't knock before entering.
Matthew sat down opposite Wendy. Before he could speak, Wendy sighed softly and said lightly:
"I always felt something was wrong."
"Who are you referring to?" Matthew was a little surprised. Wendy looked a little distracted today, but she didn't know why he was troubled.
"Matthew, don't you think it's strange?"
"The prophecy books appear one after another, and one of the prophecy books comes from the divine world."
"Why does Hoffenhager come together with the Twilight Sect?"
"The current imperial capital is so peaceful that it makes me feel suffocated. I almost can't stay here any longer!"
Looking at Wendy's flushed face, Matthew said softly: "Miss your mother?"
"I'm not willing to accept it, and I don't believe it either!"
Wendy's mood suddenly became a little excited, and her voice rose several times.
"What is this? If the imperial capital is so peaceful, what is the meaning of my mother's death?"
Matthew smiled and said: "When you say the imperial capital is peaceful, do you mean that the three giants of the Holy See, including the Pope, died in the square at the same time?"
Seeing Wendy speechless, Matthew slowly said: "The hand of fate has already opened the curtain, and more things will happen soon."
"What we need to do is become stronger and have more capital to become the protagonist in this big drama."
"But I've hit a bottleneck, and I don't know how to improve it yet! Do you have any ideas?"
"Of course there is!"
Matthew said seriously: "Make a contract with me."
Wendy looked at Matthew blankly, then quickly blushed and said incoherently:
"Matthew! You, what are you talking about? Aren't your contractors all your wives? I am a man, what are you thinking?"
"You are talking nonsense. There are many of my contractors who are not my wives."
"But they are all women!"
Wendy glared at Matthew angrily, bit her lip and said.
Matthew condensed a mirror out of the air and said calmly: "Aside from being a man physically, how do you look like a man?"
"You're just a poor girl trapped in a male body."
Matthew's words were deeply imprinted in Wendy's heart, making his last resistance disappear.
"If you don't mind it, of course I agree."
Chapter 286 The sleeping system and true identity
Matthew certainly didn't mind.
He had already figured it out, since the contractor didn't necessarily have to marry home, then it didn't matter if a cute boy showed up every once in a while.
Anyway, this isn't his first time signing a male contractor.
Although the first three male contractors were all executed for betrayal, he believed that Wendy was different.
His basic attribute level has long been raised to level 50 by the contractors, and his professional level is the fifth level of perfection. Although the road to upgrade in the future is still long, he is full of confidence.
It doesn't matter if Wendy can't bring him much profit.
Just think of it as grabbing Wendy.
My brothers don't have to worry so much.
What's more, Wendy is essentially a girl, he is just an unlucky guy trapped in a man's body.
Seeing Wendy, Matthew always thinks of Andrenee.
They each have their own misfortunes, but they also each have their own luck.
They do not lack favorable material conditions, and their cultivation talents are also excellent, but their gender positioning is very vague.
