058. Swabian Inspector

Recently, the crown prince of Castille was killed in a battle to sweep the Western Peninsula heresy, and the crown prince fell into the hands of the court minister.

That is, the father of Pillay Joseph.

Castille is actually a merger of "Cass" and "Tyr", two small kingdoms of the Illuminati, and the Pillay family is the royal family of Cass.

When one party becomes king, the other becomes court minister.

This is a very peculiar inheritance system, known as the "royal succession law".

The Frankish Empire had long been leaning towards Hedrian and supported Scotland at war.

At the height of the Franks, there were five cardinals in the Holy See, which meant that the Pope was almost guaranteed to be the Bishop of the Franks.

Bavaria also supported Heyderian, and they also wanted the bishop to take back the currency and a series of powers, and wait for a bird to sink the authority of the papacy first, so that the tax revenue of the country would increase by at least one and a half.

Frankish's southwestern neighbor, Castile, chose neutrality and had already negotiated with his cardinals, after all, the Western Peninsula had not yet been unified, and he could not care about the far north, and it didn't matter who won or lost.

The Duchy of Austria chose neutrality and was known as the "Elder" Grand Duke Herty Day James. He is more concerned about how to become a "hegemon in Eastern Europe" and make friends with the powers in the Mediterranean.

Jerusalem wore the same trousers as Rome and supported Apostolic Heywood.

In response to the Great Messia, the cardinals happened to be in Rome.

There are also two recorded clergy and two alternate cardinals (bishops) for the hearing.

When Bran went in to escort him, in addition to Heywood, he greeted Cardinal Venice's eyes.

The Cardinal of Venice, Merlin, was seventy-five years old and was dying.

It was a bishop who was promoted to the Holy See in order to increase his influence during the Howard era.

Later, although the duchy changed hands, he did not lose his cardinal position, and because of the cardinal's recommendation, Howard was given asylum for a period of time.

He returned to Venice four years ago to recuperate, and only recently arrived in Rome.

Kindness is what Bran said about Cardinal Merlin.

He looked very bad, and from time to time he took out his handkerchief to cover his cough.

If there are no accidents, it will probably be the last meeting of the cardinals in his life.

Each cardinal is responsible for the affairs of his kingdom and principality, and advises on the development of the Holy See.

Cardinals of Austria are the oldest and the most lengthy.

Merlin said only one sentence, "All glory be to the Lord." ”

When contempt for the Holy See was mentioned in Scotland, the cardinals exchanged glances, exchanged views, and voted immediately.

Bran calculated quickly in his mind that it should be four to four, but he didn't know what Cardinal Venice was thinking.

He stared intently, this is also a major matter related to himself.

Since the cardinals voted by secret ballot, it is impossible to see who is in favor of or against.

This time it was four to four, with one abstention.

If it is tied, it must be voted on again, and the meeting will be suspended for half an hour to discuss.

The scene was clear, and Bran and the others went out to wait outside.

He was in the fourth-floor hall of St. Benburg, and he was looking out the window, and Münster happened to pass by the garden under the windowsill.

His princess of Alain was like the world had evaporated, Rome was not Bavaria, hundreds of thousands of people, thousands of foreign merchants every day, immigrants came in and out, and he was powerless.

He hired a number of men to hunt down, and tortured all the people who had been guarding Alain, some of whom were so angry that they went to the tavern to spread rumors, which is now a hot topic in the city of Rome.

In this way, Bran can only hide Alain deeper.

When the re-ballot was initiated, Bran returned to his room and stood by.

This time the results are out - five to four!

This vote was the result of Cardinal Merlin's decision to change his position from neutral to against.

In retaliation for England's wool price cuts and the trade deficit of several years, the leading nobles of Venice asked their cardinals to give priority to their own country if there was a change in the north. That is, it is better to play England.

But if England were to be blockaded, it would make it impossible to import raw materials, bankrupt many small merchants, and raise market prices, which would also lead to war.

So Cardinal Merlin voted against it for the sake of the common people. contrary to the opinion of Venice.

Such an outcome was extremely bad, and it was a huge blow to Heywood's authority, and he could have forced the decision, but he did not want to be accused of arbitrariness, but now that the results came out, he had to follow them.

Heywood did the math in his mind and guessed who voted what.

The face was extremely ugly, and in desperation, he still had to swear an oath to the result.

Cardinal England's face turned pale, and he sat weakly in his chair, and a few strands of his originally thin hair fell out in an instant.

But he still did not give up, since the Holy See could not openly sanction and some support could always be allowed, the Cardinal of England asked Heywood to call in two major knightly orders to borrow the two regiments of naval and army forces.

Heywood agreed, otherwise the entire three northern islands might be taken by William.

The Templars began to make a move, and Leary Dan volunteered to go, his maternal grandfather had already arrived in England and was currently the Crown's diplomatic envoy to war.

The black knight Joan also volunteered to return to his homeland to defend against the enemy.

The Mediterranean had to face Chaisu, the east faced cholera and the Abbasids, and the northwest heard of the Frankish movements.

Bran had no plans to leave the regiment, but he also didn't get caught up in the waves of the need to pursue merit.

Heroes emerge in troubled times, but bury a bunch of bones underneath and go up steadily.

He applied to be transferred to the Swabian service, where there were two knightly villages, a winery, two tree farms, and a total of 817 people who paid taxes to the Templar Order.

Once there, he also had to settle the law and order conflict between the Knights' lords and the neighboring nobles.

During the Second Crusade, a large number of nobles died in battle, and there were many cases of land for land, creating an enclave within a country.

As a result, the enclave's tax revenue is often not collected, and it is necessary to send people to inspect it.

Bran's new title is quite long, "Templar Inspector in Swabia." ”

The regiment allocated him ten servants, two horses and eight paces.

This kind of task is not a good task for the poor knights, and the tax revenue of the enclaves is often short, so the inspectors sent by this kind of inspector must find ways to make up for it.

If you can't do it, you often go to grab it, and if you can't grab it, then you will be dismissed from your post and sent to a worse place when you go back.

But even if he can't collect the full money, Bran has the ability to support himself, and at the same time, with this identity, he can stabilize his relationship with the Swabian princess last time.

After all, the distance is close.

After calculating the distance back, and the Knights' leave, Bran thought that he would spend about three to five months in Swabian.

Enough, maybe next summer or autumn, I will have a son myself?

Giving birth to a child at the age of seventeen is neither early nor late in contemporary times.
