Chapter 115: All parties shake
The Vetina family in Dresden responded completely differently to this news.
"What! It's too arrogant. This kid is too arrogant. This is a blatant provocation. Is the emperor confused? He would actually allow him to do so!"
In Zwinger Castle, an angry and manic roar rang throughout the hall. Duke Billon, who was in his prime in his thirties, sat on the throne, shouting excitedly.
The braids with a carefully woven beard on his chin kept shaking up and down due to his movements.
"He is just a little earl, and he dares to be so arrogant. He doesn't take the nobles of the empire seriously at all. Do he think he is the emperor?" Duke Billon is known for his irritable personality. At this moment, the noble ministers in the palace all bowed their heads tremblingly and listened to the duke's roar, and no one dared to speak out.
There is a playful saying in private in the Zwingerburg Palace - when the Duke is angry, you'd better not speak, otherwise the Duke will forget the person he was angry and come to you.
Duke Billon breathed a sigh of relief, raised his hand and slapped it heavily on the golden handrail of the throne, and said, "The man in Saxony is not a coward who is afraid of trouble. He must give this boy a little color. The Chief Minister immediately wrote a letter to Tarik in the Leber region, asking him to make some trouble for Eugen and show the majesty of the family!"
In the hall, an old man with gray hair stood up. Hearing this, he couldn't help but frown and said, "Your Majesty, this seems inappropriate. Eugen has a royal family to speak for him now, and the church and the Duke of Ji'an are also standing behind him for the time being. We are in trouble at this time, and there are too many people who offend."
When the audience was silent, the chief minister dared to stand up and question Duke Billon. Because he was not only the chief minister of the Duchy of Saxony, but also the uncle of Duke Billon. The chief minister was even more irritable when he was young. It was rumored that he even hit Duke Billon in the ass, which still scared Duke Billon.
Hearing the words of the Chief Minister, Duke Billon's tone stopped and his expression was no longer so excited. Then he waved his hand impatiently and said, "Forget it, it's okay not to trouble that guy. You can respond. The tone must be tough, so that people cannot think that the men in our Duchy of Saxony can be bullied."
After saying this, Duke Billon stood up and walked towards the side of the palace. It was obvious that he had no interest in continuing the meeting.
The Chief Minister agreed, and then brought all the ministers and nobles to bow together, sending Duke Billon away respectfully.
In addition, the reactions of other empire nobles also vary.
The Principality of Bavaria is controlled by the Wittelsbach family. Munich, the capital of the family, may not be the largest, but its prosperity is the highest in the country.
The intensity of commercial trade here is ranked among the whole of Europe. The city’s stores are filled with all kinds of goods, and you can find anything you can buy here, from ivory crafts from Africa to royal utensils in the East, all of which have special places for sale.
And every shop here represents a huge business chain, and it is accompanied by a resounding name. They are wealthy businessmen with businesses all over Europe, and even the Marquis are jealous of their wealth. Irving Ross, who had friction with Rambo before, can only be considered ordinary compared to these people.
The Wittelsbach family can be regarded as the leader of this business world. They are nobles and the largest merchants.
Munich - the golden land of the Holy Roman Empire.
However, the duke of the family is not in Munich at this moment, but in Vienna, the capital of the Habsburg Dynasty. He is the Duke of Lorraine who met Eugen before at the enthronement ceremony.
The relationship between the Vettelsbach family and the Habsburg family has always been very close, which is also due to the efforts of the Duke of Lorraine. Not to mention whether he had any plans, at least on the surface, the two sides are close ally.
At this moment, the Duke of Lorraine was living in his manor on the banks of the Danube in Vienna. The Duke of Lorraine, who looked serious, suddenly realized that he had heard a lot of news about Eugen recently...
First, his son came to tell himself that he would marry Princess Maria no matter what, and then kept saying a lot of bad things about Eugen, of course, most of which he heard from nowhere.
Then he appointed the person in charge to the Lebre area, the nephew whom he thought was very reliable, actually said that he had reached a cooperation with Eugen and even wanted him to sign an unrestricted trade agreement to hand it over to Eugen.
Before the Duke of Lorraine could come to his senses, Eugen made another trick. He actually issued a national notice, which could be said to have directly scolded all the nobles.
This is a bit too courageous. He is a great duke and has never done such an arrogant thing. He, a little count, actually did it. As expected, he is still a newborn calf who is not afraid of a tiger!
After this series of things, the Duke of Lorraine didn't know what attitude to treat Eugen. Then he vaguely remembered the scene when he first met Eugen, and finally decided: "Well, I really hate that boy."
"But no matter how annoying it is, business is business." As he said this, the Duke of Lorraine waved his hand and wrote his name on the trade agreement that had been prepared on the table.
Then he called the butler in, scolded Eugen while telling him to send a statement of support for Eugen. After all, he would better be consistent with the royal family in such matters.
Then he called his son Francis over and warned him, "Son, you must contact Princess Maria more while Eugen is not around and try to steal her heart. As long as the princess falls in love with you, I will tell you where the emperor will."
Francis naturally nodded happily. The son of the duke, who was twenty-five or six years old, had a tall figure, thin face, clear lines, and white golden hair was scattered on his shoulders, which was quite handsome. However, there was a lewd feeling in his eyes that was difficult to remove.
Francis was a slut when he was young. His romantic and interesting stories were circulated from Munich to Vienna. I don’t know how many famous ladies and ladies were secretly concerned about his romance and tenderness.
However, since he saw Princess Maria, he was immediately shocked and immediately vowed not to marry Princess Maria, and he really cleansed himself from now on and never touched any other woman again.
