; Wilhelm sat in his place and was almost drowsy, and as yesterday he was quarreling again between Maximilian and Leopold over the cause of Joseph II's death.
In this closed environment, the sound of quarrels kept ringing in his ears, and William's mood was simply irritable to the extreme.
And today's meeting is not without gains, at least the Elector of Mainz Elthal put forward his opinion clearly at the meeting, he believes that regardless of whether the cause of Joseph II's death is Leopold operating in the dark, but at least the current Leopold has not completely washed away his suspicions, so he thinks that Leopold is not qualified to inherit the throne of the Holy Roman Empire for the time being".
Eltal's opinion was simply a stab in Leopold's heart, but Leopold was already mentally prepared for this, so Leopold was not defeated because of Eltal's statement.
The only thing that surprised William in the whole meeting was the attitude of the Elector of Trier, who had previously behaved very close to His Excellency Maximilian, who had been very close to him, was unusually at today's meeting, not only did he not stand up for Maximilian in a clear manner, but also when Sigel asked to speak, the Elector's attitude was also very ambiguous.
In this regard, William also has to sigh that Vienna is indeed very unusual in terms of diplomacy.
Being able to shake the attitude of the Elector of Trier, who had previously sided with Maximilian, shows that Vienna has made a lot of efforts in this regard.
William took out his pocket watch and looked at it, only to see that the clock on it had reached four o'clock.
He couldn't help but sigh in his heart, and when today's meeting ended in a meaningless quarrel, he saw Leopold, who had been silent for a long time, suddenly stood up and walked to the center of the council hall.
"Your Royal Highness, Honorable Elector.
Today is the second day of the Electoral Council, which will be held for five days according to the previous arrangement of the Imperial Diet, but now that nearly half of the time has passed, we still cannot reach a consensus on some aspects, so I think that if it continues like this, five days will not be enough.
Therefore, I think we should expedite the process of the meeting.
There has always been a precedent for the heir to the throne of the empire, and the laws of the empire clearly stipulate that if the previous emperor has a clear heir, then the heir will ascend the throne.
In the absence of a clear heir, the Elector of Bohemia is the first to succeed him, and if the Electors disagree, an electoral council can be convened to elect a new emperor.
I think all the electors here should know it!
” Listened to Leopold.
William couldn't help but nodded, as Leopold said, in the early days of the establishment of the Electors in the Empire, due to secular and religious reasons, the seven electors were also divided into two camps, and the three religious electors and the four secular electors were automatically classified into the two camps for natural reasons.
The three major religious electors were headed by the Electors of Mainz, while the four secular electors were headed by the Bohemian electors, and the religious and secular electors competed for power with each other, as the original emperor had envisioned the electoral system.
The contradictions between the princes made the importance of the emperor come to the fore, so that the emperor could become the superior arbiter and wield great power.
The Elector of Bohemia was the first of the secular electors.
He was the first to succeed during the vacancy of the throne, even though he was not related to the emperor.
But in order to curb the ambitions of the Bohemian electors, the Electors of Mainz became the leader of the religious electors, and held a crucial vote in the hands of the Electors of Mainz, because he could exercise a veto power in the event that the seven electors could not reach a decision for a long time because of the question of the succession to the throne.
Of course, the veto power of the Electors of Mainz is not always useful, for example, even the veto of the Electors of Mainz is invalid if the five Electors agree.
Although Maximilian didn't know what Leopold was trying to do, he was right, so Maximilian nodded.
When Leopold saw the people nodding, Leopold was overjoyed, and he said loudly: "I think your Excellency Electors should not forget that the first emperor of the empire, Charles IV, had a resolution when he established the electoral system, and the three religious electors did not have the right to become the heirs of the empire, in other words, the three religious electors only had the right to vote and not the right to be elected, I think all the electors should not forget this!?
Before Leopold could finish his sentence, his gaze stabbed at Maximilian like a sharp sword Upon learning of the whereabouts of Joderson and Hanberk, Mazaka immediately led his soldiers to the Azter Manor in the east of the city.
At this moment, the Ezter Manor has long lost its former majesty, and groups of Prussian soldiers have moved all of Sawyer's personal treasures out of the manor like rats in and out of the Ezter Manor, and Sawyer himself and several of his relatives have been detained in the manor.
Looking at the involuntary killing intent on the faces of the Prussian soldiers guarding beside him, Sawyer's heart was even more terrified.
After arresting Hanbwick and Yoderson yesterday, Sawyer did not take the two to the Sheriff's Hall in Frankfurt, for his nephew, Sawyer has always loved him, although this nephew has a more feminine temperament, and his preferences are also a little different, but these are not big problems in Sawyer's opinion, just some insignificant small flaws.
When he heard that his nephew had been knocked unconscious, Sawyer was furious, and he immediately called a few of his henchmen in the Sheriff's Department to rush to Berejet's house and arrest the two murderers, and then took them to another manor in the city to lynch them.
Sawyer didn't care about these two people who claimed to be Prussian officers, in his opinion, as the head snake of Frankfurt, even a dragon like Prussia still had to give him three points of dignity in front of him, and there was nothing on these two people that could reveal their identities, which made Sawyer not believe what the two said.
Because Sawyer planned to kill Humberk and Yoderson, he did not torture the two to death at once, but used the method of cutting flesh with a slow knife to slowly grind on the bodies of the two.
Overnight, Humbock and Joderson barely saw a single good piece of flesh on their bodies, but the most terrible thing was that there were no serious fatal injuries other than the pain in the flesh.
One of the henchmen who was being held by Sawyer's side said to Sawyer: "Boss, we're not going to have anything, are we?
Look at these Prussians, they are not good stubble!
” "It's okay, in Frankfurt, it's not the turn of the Prussians to cover the sky with one hand, don't forget that our Frankfurt is not under their Prussian rule!"
Although Sawyer was a little apprehensive in his heart, in order to be able to calm the hearts of his people, so after the henchman finished speaking, Sawyer confidently comforted everyone.
But suddenly a Prussian soldier rushed up behind Sawyer, whose hands were tied, and lifted his kick "I told you kid to be quiet, I didn't hear it!
You're a son of a bitch, it's really not easy to catch you!
You all be honest with me, and if I hear the slightest more messy noise, I'll send you all to hell believe it or not!
” As he spoke, the Prussian officer drew his saber and brandished it.
A smile bloomed on his face when he saw that the dozen or so people in front of him were all as docile as sheep after his words were finished "That's right, only obedient and obedient will you have good fruit to eat, otherwise, I'm afraid the next time you see each other, you will be in hell!
Damn it, you dare to beat our Prussian guards, Jinnyima is impatient!
I'm phew."
A mouthful of thick phlegm spit directly on the delicate robe on Sawyer's body, because he was half-kneeling on the ground, so Sawyer's robe was naturally dragged directly on the ground, and his robe was already covered with countless footprints.

Fortunately, it was the second battalion of the cavalry regiment that came to arrest Sawyer and the others, and if it was replaced by the third battalion, it would be impossible to say that there were more than footprints on Sawyer's robe at this moment.
The traces of thick phlegm are so conspicuous that looking at Sawyer's eyes makes Sawyer have a kind of gagging gdong!
But he knew he couldn't, he knew what would happen to him if he annoyed these Prussians, and in his heart, Sawyer told himself to endure!
If you want to say that the person who Sawyer is most worried about in the Azter manor, it is naturally Sawyer's mistress, Mrs.
Azter, you must know that when the Prussians captured Sawyer, he was rolling on the bed in the bedroom with Mrs.
Azter.
Mrs.
Azter has been with Sawyer for more than ten years, so Sawyer still loves this mistress very much, although Mrs.
Azter is now middle-aged, but this does not reduce Sawyer's affection for her mistress in the slightest.
Looking at Mrs.
Azter, who was not far away and was looking at him in a panic, Sawyer's heart breathed a sigh of relief.
Although the Prussians were more barbaric, it is undeniable that the Prussians did not embarrass women like Mrs.
Ezter, and they were not forced to be confined to a certain place, except for the restriction of freedom.
At this moment, Sawyer's heart is looking forward to the intervention of the Frankfurt government, you must know that no matter how strong the Prussians are, after all, they are only a prince in the empire, and the Prussians have no right to send troops to Frankfurt to arrest people, Sawyer believes that as long as the news here spreads, then he will definitely get the assistance of his family and the major forces in Frankfurt.
Until now, Sawyer hadn't thought he had made a big mistake.
