Chapter 289: Assassination Plan (1)
Your Majesty of the Most Honorable Hunyadi, the outpost of the Everglades Fortress has just received news that the chariot of the Roman co-emperor, Lord John Palaio, is about to arrive at Székesbehér......"
Janos Hunyadi, who was praying in the Basilica of Santa Anna, slowly opened his eyes, and then asked, "The Roman Empire didn't give the news in advance, it seems that John's trip was in a hurry......
"The news from the border post is probably like this, His Majesty John and his party are on their way quickly, accompanied by His Royal Highness Sophia, the palace minister Agrippa, and a woman who has never shown up."
Hunyadi took the big coat and crown from the priest standing on the side: "The situation in Austria is not very clean at this time, but the focus of the Romans has always been on the Balkans and Asia Minor. ”
The pastor raised his eyes and left the church without saying anything.
"It is said that Frederick III was assassinated, and Laszló V fled. This should be the biggest scandal of the Habsburgs in recent years, but Frederick III does not seem to be planning to hide it. Hunyadi's attendant helped His Majesty the Regent and pushed open the gilded door of the Cathedral of Santa Anna with one hand, "This matter spread very quickly, and incredibly quickly. It's not just us, it's now boiling in Rome. Frederick III used a large number of troops to hunt for Laszló and his allies, and also issued a statement to the surrounding countries that once Laszló V was captured, he would return him to Vienna as soon as possible. The illegal detention of Austrian treason criminals was tantamount to granting asylum and to war with the Principality of Austria. ”
"At war?" Hunyadi raised his eyebrows, "Frederick is still too young, and he is so angry that he is not small. It's just that what do the courtiers in the Vienna court do to eat? No matter how serious it is, it is just that Laszló V, who poses no threat to his position as duke and emperor, wants to win an extra crown for his family and flees. But it will be the same as a national disaster...... The young man's anger at the crown can be regarded as sweeping the majesty of the Habsburgs. Hundreds of mercenaries killed in and out of Vienna and fled the scene with a swagger, which is simply the funniest joke I've ever heard! Frederick was not ashamed but proud, and made a lot of publicity, which is really ......"
"Your Majesty, Frederick III should have his own plans......"
"Plans? What are you going to do? Originally, as long as László V was released from house arrest in the Hofburg palace and organized a decent army, not only the princes of Austria and Brandenburg would contribute to the recapture of Bohemia, but I think the Pope would also be generous in providing aid and military expenses. It's just that he was injured a little, and the Habsburgs wanted to regain the crown, and it was even more difficult to be troubled by him than to ascend to the sky. ”
With the help of his attendants, Hunyadi strode towards the White Castle.
"Your Majesty, then...... If Laszló V crosses the border, do we want to ......"
"Offering asylum? There was no place for László V in the entire German Empire, and don't forget, this guy could still usurp the Hungarian throne. Just for the sake of contradiction with Frederick III, I did not yet have to pour another cup of poison into the wine. ”
……
Sophia gave Hun Yati a standard aristocratic salute, and the carriage was a little bumpy, which made the little girl stagger.
"Your Royal Highness, you don't have such a habit, don't be too polite. At Székesbet Castle, we don't have so many rules and regulations for the guests of the Empire. Hunyadi half-jokingly teased Sophia, in exchange for a roll of his eyes.
"Your Majesty, if it's okay, we won't come all the way to Hungary to find you." Old Agrippa slowly got up and said, "There is one matter that the Empire needs your help with right now...... This event may directly determine the future fate of the German Empire, and it will also directly affect the future expansion of the empire in Asia Minor. ”
The first half of the sentence Hunyati heard it very clearly, but it was difficult to understand, and the second half of the sentence made him even more confused.
The Palaiologos seem to have made it clear that they wanted to intervene in the "internal affairs" of the Habsburgs.
"May I ask, Mr. Agrippa, if you are here for Laszllo V, which side are you on in this whole matter?"
"It's easy to associate, isn't it?" Agrippa laughed, "The Empire and Frederick III have a conflict of interest, but Laszló V's child is a very suitable object to exploit and grab. ”
"His mother was an ambitious woman. Laszlo, the widow, had not only a Bohemian inheritance on his head, but also a legitimate claim to our Hungarian crown. Hunyadi's face changed slightly, "If the Empire wants Hungary to help Laszlå V through this...... All I can say is that there is nothing I can do. For me, and for the people of Hungary, Frederick III and László V were both defeated, and the most satisfying situation was the case. ”
"Your Majesty Janos Hunyadi, the Empire will indeed help and win two crowns for Laszló V......" John looked at Hunyadi's expression and said with some amusement.
Sure enough, when Hunyati heard this, his face became more and more ugly: "Your Majesty John, I don't know what benefits Laszllo V promised you, but I don't think that a child who seeks refuge everywhere and has no strength is worth more than the unbreakable alliance between us!" If the Roman Empire insists on threatening and interfering with the ownership of the Hungarian throne, then I will represent Hungary ......"
Sophia stared at Hunyadi for a long time, but finally didn't hold her breath, and laughed out loud: "Your Majesty Hunyati, you have lost your temper......"
Hunyati's second half of the sentence was blocked by Sophia. Looking at John, who was holding back a smile, he realized that he had reacted in hindsight: "John, you just took revenge on me for making fun of your sister just now?" ”
John calmed his breath before he spoke again: "Your Majesty, this is not a joke, our goal is indeed to win two crowns for László V, but this does not include the Hungarian crown. ”
"If it's not Hungary...... The only thing Lasszló has to claim is ......"
"Archduke of Austria. That is, the thing above Frederick's head. John smiled calmly.
"It's harder than taking the whole of Bohemia and hanging Ilzh of Pojbrad by the way."
"Everything is not always judged by victory or defeat in war, my esteemed majesty. In addition to this, there are many who put down the crown and take it off the king's head. ”
Hunyadi looked at Kalujie with interest, who had just spoken.
