As the capital of Louis the Germanic of East Francia, Regensburg was built into the most magnificent city in the eastern part of the German Empire in just two hundred years, even more prosperous than Dublin, the nominal German Empire, and Dresden, where three emperors lived.

With the convenient water transportation on the Danube, Regensburg did long-distance trade with Venice, Constantinople, and Kievan Rus, and gradually became rich and powerful, so this land, known as the shield of the empire, has always been the most important place, and only the humerus can be trusted.

Apparently Otto the Great, who had forgiven his reformed brother, thought so, but he made the most foolish decision of his life, so much so that in the decades that followed, the fledgling Duke's family had trouble with the royal family, and finally an heir ascended to the throne, and he was the current Emperor of the German Empire, His Majesty Henry, who had been plotting against Otto III.

Through three generations of the Duke's family of Bavaria, Regensburg has been expanded several times to its current size, which is a model of inner and outer city architecture.

Regensburg is located on the rich delta where the Regan River joins the Danube, and it is also named after the Celts who dominated Europe, first established the first settlement here, and later gradually developed into a small town because of the convenient transportation and rich products, often used as a military base for barbarians to harass the Apennines in the south, attracting the attention of the Romans and finally sending troops to conquer, relying on the terrain to build a strong fortress with a ten-meter-high wall, four stone gates and many towers for garrisoning, At its peak, it was home to more than 6,000 infantry of the Third Army of the German Empire, and was the most important military base in the Germanic province of Retienne, which was established by the Romans and was famous for its barley beer.

Since Garibald I occupied Bavaria and proclaimed himself duke, the successive dukes of the Agurolfin family for two hundred years have been stationed in the castle on the Danube, and the devout believers have also built magnificent churches as the archbishopric residence directly under the Vatican.

His Majesty's ancestors used the natural river as a moat on a sandbar called Vorstald in the Danube, and rebuilt their castle that was difficult to defend and difficult to attack, separating the military and economic uses of the city, and promoting the vigorous development of the economy.

Merchants from the north and south brought wealth here, making Regensburg a commercial hub between Italy and the Empire, and the Duchy of Bavaria flourished, making Trans-Saxony the most powerful power in the Empire.

I swirled around the carriages of the papal envoys and the little dukes, admiring the beauty of the city with great interest.

The stone gates of the Roman era were full of welcoming people, for the Archbishop of Regensburg and his priests, a scarlet robe was very eye-catching, and next to them were the nobles of the city, who were wrapped in elaborate gowns, looking like sausages filled with meat puree, and with a humble and flattering face that quickly arched under the stone slabs, it looked very funny, because their principle of doing things was to serve the strong, and how could they do it without being obedient?

Standing at the very end of the welcome procession were businessmen represented by several large merchants, whose waists were lower than those of the nobles, and their faces were more flattering with smiles, which was also a survival instinct as a vulnerable group.

"Welcome to Regensburg, Your Excellency!"

Before the carriage stopped, the Archbishop of Regensburg hurriedly trotted over and bent down to salute, he had been sent abroad for many years, and finally got a chance to face the red people around the Pope, can he not behave well? If you have served your lords, you may be able to end this long period of exile and return to the Vatican.

"This is a great honor, praise be to God!"

The carriage slowly stopped, and I got off the horse, walked a few steps to the side, and two attendants of the Holy See moved down the stools and set them up, and then pulled the thick curtain on the door.

This is the first time I have seen the papal envoy whom I have heard of for a long time, he looks even more gloomy than I imagined, and there is no trace of fat on his expressionless poker face, which shows how hard and devout this servant of God is in serving God, and the wide robe wraps the whole person tightly, and it is impossible to see his figure, but the gray head of the sideburns shows the true age of the bishop, at least older and more vicissitudes than his delicately maintained face that can deceive people.

"God's call is everywhere, and if you are humble in your heart, you will be blessed by the Lord, Your Majesty, let me greet you on his behalf."

As soon as the old god stick appeared, he began to pretend to be a ghost, as if he was afraid that people would not know that he was a servant of God, and he opened his mouth and closed his mouth about God's grace, which made people hate it in their hearts, or it may be that I, a modern person who has experienced materialist education since childhood, find it difficult to understand the beliefs of people in this era, in short, after so long, except for some lucky moments, I still can't accept a god who worships.

Maybe the happiness came too suddenly, and the Pope Ni asked the envoy to transfer on his behalf, which made the Bishop of Regensburg a little relieved, looking at his tearful appearance, it was no different from knowing that the girl he had a crush on also liked his stunned youth, and he could have a place in Nixia's heart, and it was estimated that Ya's promotion was promising.

"Lord Duke, thank you for saving us from the iron hooves of the invaders."

The bishop helped the envoy out of the carriage, turned to me and smiled in greeting, but soon felt that there was something wrong with his words, and before he could make a decision, he called the Duke of Carinthia an aggressor, and hastened to change the subject.

"It is also my pleasure to welcome you to Regsburg."

"It's an honor to see these two adults."

I replied with a decent and enthusiastic smile, and then the little duke's mother and son also accepted a warm welcome from the nobles present, and the first duchess naturally needed to make a speech to encourage everyone to work together to continue to be loyal to the Duke's family, and the welcome ceremony came to an end in a warm and harmonious atmosphere.

After the things on the scene were done, the rest of the people who could not see the light had to be discussed behind closed doors, and everyone with their own hearts was sure to have a war of words, and two days later the emperor's arbiter arrived, and representatives of both sides of the clerical and secular powers gathered together.

How to define and explain to the world about this civil war, which is not too big or small, has become an important topic of discussion.

The range of participants was strictly narrowed, and there were only a few chairs in the conference hall.

Envoy on behalf of the Pope,

Arbitrator on behalf of the Emperor,

On behalf of the Duke of Nijmegen, representing the warring side,

The Archbishop of Regsburg, who represented the local Bavarian religious aristocracy, and the Count Carinthia, who represented the other side of the war.

Count Henry of Augsburg, who abandoned the darkness and turned to light, and the former Duchess who held little Otto in her arms, among others, were also given several seats as observers, and sat far under the table.

This long and indefinite meeting was even more boring than I expected, at least without any progress on the agenda that had been going on for two days.

I did have time to exercise my drinking, and I couldn't say that the foam was dry, so I had to take a big gulp to rehydrate.

The Count of Carinthia, who had been imprisoned, repeatedly insisted that the late Duke Otto had received a confidential letter from Duke Charles, in which he said that little Otto was not his own son, and that everything was a dirty deal, and that the Duke of Carinthia could help him clear the court and prevent someone's plot from succeeding, so he marched into Regensburg, and the so-called invasion was all nonsense.

It is a pity that even if the Earl swore his words and repeatedly brought out the glory of the nobility and the faith of God, he could not produce that important secret letter as proof, and his credibility was greatly reduced.

The Pope's envoy was clearly biased towards Count Carinthia, and anyone with a discerning eye could see that the Vatican was inextricably linked to the incident, and the envoy proposed his own plan.

The real cause of the matter has been difficult to verify, in line with the principle that human death is great, the two sides on this truce and return to China to shake hands and make peace, from now on the well water will not interfere with the river water, no one should pursue whose responsibility, his remarks were strongly opposed by the orphans and widows of the former duke, more than once with a heart-rending howl to interrupt the agenda, so that everyone is not embarrassed.

The emperor's arbiter is an old slippery head, who walks on the tightrope of power all the year round and turns him into hob meat, and no one can be offended by a hippie smile, like a tumbler who always laughs, only thinks about the end of the work, pretends to be deaf and dumb every day, turns the car upside down, just doesn't mention his own opinions, and cleverly hides behind the quarrelsome people, waiting for the most weighty person to speak.

That's right! The man who spoke the most was me, the Duke of Randy of Nijmegen, as the final victor of this war and the de facto possessor of Bavaria, and for the past two days I had been watching others bicker, and how many times I sneered in my heart, waiting for these fools in front of me to wake up to the fact that the most bullish man had not yet spoken, so we didn't want the clown to dance happily.

The hall suddenly fell silent, just like the noisy class when I was a child, and there was a sudden silence as if everyone had agreed, I slowly turned my head to look at everyone who was staring at me, put down the wine glass in my hand, cleared my throat and prepared to speak, Earl Henry glanced at me from afar, and I smiled understandingly:

"Now I would like to ask you to listen to what I have to say, first, thank you for all your worries about the affairs of Bavaria, some of you have even traveled thousands of miles, as a relative of the late Count Charles, on behalf of the mother and son of the little duke, I would like to express my heartfelt gratitude, to be honest, who can their orphans and widows count on at this time except for their own maternal uncle?"
