The hard-fought victory was the sweetest, and after cleaning up the battlefield, they returned to the city of Palatinate for an all-night party, where Salian was always obsessed with the food and wine of the Palatinate, and it was an opportunity to indulge in it. Pen, Fun, Pavilion www.biquge.info this mighty victorious army made the Count of the Imperial Palace dare to be angry but not speak. And in any case, the faction of the Archduke Joseph defended his interests, and after the Grand Duke promised to keep all the privileges of the Counts of the Palace, the former regent finally opened the door to them.

Forgetting all sorrows, they ate and drank merry, and Acherin, who had fought all day, ate a whole cow, and Anna drank a barrel of white wine from the Count's treasure, and this time the lovely caterer was about to commit suicide.

That night Yeager snuck into the Viscountess's bedroom, and the resentful woman who had been given the Viscount a cold shoulder would have comforted the heroes of Salian, and no one in the entire Count's Court knew about it, or perhaps they didn't want to know about it. At the same time, Salian was not only accompanied by Lorana Ise, whom he had not seen for a long time, but also had his first intimate contact with his personal magic advisor through the pleasant atmosphere and Miss Schönek's encouragement, which Miss Schönek was very happy about, which meant that the status of their northern faction in the Neumarkian Territory had been further enhanced, which must have been conspired by the two eldest ladies of the Hansie Alliance. In the future, the battle between their northern faction and the southwestern faction in Schwartenn will become more and more intense. Of course, Salian was unaware of the undercurrent.

The next day, as soon as Salian woke up from the dizziness of his hangover, he saw the two girls on his left and right, and couldn't help but feel good. It can be described as complacent, unstoppable.

When he got up, he found a letter stuffed into the crack of the door, and when he opened it, it turned out to be the Earl's notice that he had told him not to forget to attend the Emperor's coronation tomorrow. Sally smiled reassuringly, the Earl of the Palace is really an old fox in politics, and he should be very quick to deal with the election results, although he can't help but be resentful in his heart, but on the surface, he has completely fallen to Archduke Joseph. Oh no, it should be His Majesty the Emperor.

After a day of preparation, the Emperor's enthronement ceremony was officially held in the Coronation Cathedral in the Palatinate, with the familiar choir, the familiar organ, and the familiar silver candlestick. The members of the Reich who were watching the ceremony in the hall were not only Archduke Joseph's faction and neutralists, but also many supporters of Duke Kirzen, who had already done their duty by supporting the Duke at the time of the vote, so it was only a matter of acknowledging the fait accompli for now.

On the stage was still the sanctimonious Archbishop Jung, because there was no special papal representative, so as the papal representative, he anointed Archduke Joseph with holy oil, and Archbishop Ogchase put on the crown, and was given the holy relic by the Archbishop of Fort Koney, and finally the Archduke took the scepter from Archbishop Bruno and solemnly raised it.

At this time, in the audience, Duke Vienria, as the head of the princes, took the lead in shouting: "Long live the Emperor! Long live the Divine Grace Empire!"

Then the members of the empire chanted together: "Long live the Emperor! Long live the Divine Grace Empire!"

In this way, Archduke Joseph officially succeeded to the throne as Emperor of the "Divinely blessed Tutonian Empire", called "Higismund V", but unfortunately he did not create any great prosperity in the future.

Immediately after the enthronement ceremony, Higismund V gathered his men and thanked them for their contribution to the electoral council and the subsequent battles in the Palatinate Palace, reserved for the Emperor's Chamber, which had been prepared for the Emperor's temporary purpose.

Then, it was time for the much-anticipated stage of the meritorious deeds, and Higismund V, with Salian as the first meritorious servant, planned everything for the Grand Duke in advance, and did his best to plan everything. In recognition, the Emperor elevated the Neumarkian Territory to a dukedom, and Salian received de jure jurisdiction over all the realms, even though he actually had them.

Everyone was shocked by the new emperor's arrangement.

The confusing and meaningless reward that had aroused the consternation of the crowd had been offered by Sarian himself the day before, to Archduke Joseph, who had not yet performed the ceremony. Further, this was the idea of Miss Lorenais Schönek, who, because of her high decision-making skills, already had a political influence over Salian, and this was her favorite role. While Salian was drinking and hanging out with Miss Teresa, Lorana Ise had already figured out what to do for his handsome lover. Even if he had to show a slight ambition without making people feel that he had too much appetite, in terms of the grasp of the scale, although Salian was born in the southwest valley, although he had the guidance of Moreau, he did not have independent judgment at present, so Miss Chenek, who had received an elite education since childhood and had grown up in deceit, naturally became his dependence.

Therefore, in the strange gaze of the crowd, Salian thanked Higismund V with the most sincere words. Lorana Ise had already analyzed the pros and cons for him, and now the primary purpose was to develop the territory in the northeast, so it was necessary to obtain the supreme de jure and nominal control of the empire, and on the other hand, it was pointless to increase the fiefdom without being able to manage it, and it would make the "neighbors" feel that their expansion ambitions were too great.

Since Salian and below, everyone has also been rewarded, because of the large donation, Manstel became the second meritorious supporter, he finally got the whole of Constance, and was promoted to viscount, the Bishop of Constance received a good annuity and retired with peace of mind, the only problem is that the Pope has lost a wealthy diocese, but now the power of the Pope is in the hands of his minister, for the son of a merchant who holds the real power of the Holy See, everything has a price, and this is also Manstel's philosophy, so we don't have to worry, he will take care of it himself。

And Anna, Acherin, Sebastian and others have increased a certain amount of fiefdoms, I have to say that the current emperor is still not stingy in order to win the hearts of the people, but unfortunately the financial constraints, for the time being, can only reward some scattered royal territories to meritorious officials. The rest of the Lords of Wienria and Conigs, who had been great princes, bestowed on them the title of Knight of the Honorary Golden Goat, a high title that the wise emperor had just devised and which he declared to be available only to the noblest and most loyal nobles of the empire. Since then, the Golden Goat has indeed become an honor that the magnates of the entire continent are striving for.

In order to reduce the pain of dynastic change, Salian and many princes recommended that the former Prime Minister Weithar and the former Deputy Prime Minister Zolvik still serve as the prime minister and deputy prime minister, and Sigismund V had to nod and agree, because today's Gniezno can be said to be the strongest single force in the empire, and the dynasty supported by them can be stable.

If it is said that it is a king's virtue to reward meritorious officials, then the distinction between rewards and punishments is clearly the dignity of kings.

In front of Higismund V and the members of the Empire, Salian harshly attacked Ulrich, Duke of Froburg, who was on the verge of defection.

"Your Majesty, not only did Duke Ulrich betray you shamelessly, he even abandoned his own children, whom his mother adopted more than ten years ago!"

Originally, the Duke of Ulrich was known to be poor and luxurious, but now such unbearable news broke out, which made the emperor very angry, and he spoke.

"It's contemptible, the dignified Duke of the Tutonian clan is so decent!"

"Your Majesty, please punish this villain severely!"

"Von Hohenstelingen, be uneasy, we should be merciful. Let's discuss this matter again, and everyone can step down. By the way, the Earl of the Palace, please stay. ”

"Whew!"

It seems that the time will have to wait for Ulrich to deal with him, and the new emperor Hesmond V will not make a big move until he has secured power.

Despite this, the goals that Salian and his friends had hoped for were largely achieved, and he became one of the pillars of the Rokenhausen dynasty, and his voice in the empire increased dramatically. Go back and find another painter to finish the unfinished painting in the castle corridor, and then depict the deeds of his dukedom, which will be passed down forever. Salian's vanity was greatly satisfied.

After everyone was happy, everyone embarked on their respective journeys home.

Salian gave the Earls of Jeska and the Duchess of Richel for their help and sacrifice in the war, and paid a secret letter to the Earl to pass it on to the Prime Minister of Weithar and Deputy Prime Minister of Zolvík.

For two years, Salian hadn't been to his own border county, and oh, now an official dukedom. Now that the task at hand was accomplished, and he became Duke of New Mark, he broke away from the army and traveled north with several cronies to his own territory, including Anna, who had never been to New Mark before, and who had recently felt that her relationship with Salian had been surpassed by many people, and she could not sit still under the encouragement of Yulia's words.

In order to avoid encountering the forces of the Duke of Kirzen, they did not follow the usual path, that is, they first traveled east by land through a large number of small territories and forest areas to the Duchy of Koenigs, and then turned north through the Duchy of Kirzen to enter the Duchy of New Mark.

Rather, it went directly north from the county of the Palaitine Palace, through the northwest corner of the empire, to the United Province of Nilandes at the mouth of the Rinn River, which was nominally the hereditary domain of the Duke of Porandi, the great lord of the eastern part of the Kingdom of François, but was only an independent area under him, and was not considered part of the Kingdom of François or the Empire of Divine Grace. At that time, the region was the most economically developed place in the western part of the entire continent, not only as the center of trade between the mainland and Raja Island, but also as an important port for the transshipment of goods between the East and the West, and a distribution center for spices and silk. Because of this, the current Duke of Grandi, who owns this prosperous area, is called the "rich" Curran, and his legitimate child has only one daughter, resulting in an endless stream of people who come to the door to propose marriage, and almost all the wealthy nobles of the continent are playing with this little girl's idea. Later, her marriage had a huge impact on Franços and the Empire of Divine Grace, but it has nothing to do with the story at the moment, so we will skip it for now.

Salian and his party walked along the Lynn River with a relaxed mood, sometimes by boat, sometimes by anchor on the banks of the beautiful river to hunt, although it was winter, but there were still many wild beasts in the Imperial Forest. What's more, Salian is accompanied by Anna, a hunting expert, this time, so naturally there will be no shortage of delicious food, but he can't let several archbishops in the vicinity know.
