Amid the noise of vocal laughter, there was no trace of Zhu Houzhao.

His Majesty the Supreme Holy Roman Emperor locked himself in the study of his palace. If compared to those princes who communicated through dances, then it is obvious that Zhu Houzhao is the one who really cares about the next battle.

At this moment, he was looking at the map with a serious face and focused attention. He fell into a state of meditation and was immersed in his own small world.

For him, this expedition was crucial. The monarchs of the Franchise continent separated the continent into pieces, and now they gathered them together in the name of the emperor and the robbery.

Zhu Houzhao knew better than anyone else that they were here today did not mean that these people were convinced by them. In fact, it was just because these people were afraid of themselves and hatred for the Ottomans.

However, this move was obviously the right one. The next step was to enter Constantinople, which is now the Ottoman imperial capital Istanbul, before all the ammunition stocks of the navy were exhausted.

Because only in this way can the emperor's authority be formally determined. With the influence of the pope, the prestige he established, and with this absolute force, Zhu Houzhao was able to connect the old German lands, including the current Austria, the papal states of Italy, and even the Bulgaria and Greece occupied by the Ottomans, to establish a huge Francis empire that belonged to him. With these direct territories and huge prestige, he could take this opportunity to completely intimidate France, Hungary, Portugal, and Spain.

He knew better than anyone else the trump card he was holding in his hand. If he didn't make good use of it, the consequences would be extremely bad. Therefore, this battle must be a quick battle and must not be delayed.

I don’t know if it was because of fatigue or emotions, but his eyes staring at the map were slightly red. It has been two years since the days passed, and more than two years have passed. He has come here with great difficulty and used all kinds of means. Now, it is time to see the truth.

Zhu Houzhao narrowed her eyes and looked more and more solemn. She looked at him standing there for a long time, and Liu Jin, who was standing beside her, carefully put on a piece of clothes.

Liu Jin has been spending these days in panic. He still doesn't like this place, and doesn't like it at all. He loves the Forbidden City and the magnificent Beijing City. He is obsessed with his homeland.

After all, he is different from Zhu Houzhao, and he is also different from those screaming navy Qiu Ba. Liu Jin is no longer a man and has no idea of ​​making achievements. What he thinks is just a fox and a tiger's power. He just relies on his eunuch's identity to win more money and live a good life. That's all.

Now he is standing next to this ambitious emperor, and has a sharp contrast with him. Although Liu Jin is now the Duke of Rome of Franchis, this Duke does not make him feel honored. He does not care at all in his heart. Go to your Rome, go to your Duke, we just want to go home.

At this moment, a harsh knock on the door came from outside, breaking the silence of the room.

Then, Hurd's voice sounded: "Your Majesty."

As soon as he heard Hurd's voice, Liu Jin's face pulled down and he felt very angry.

This Portuguese miscellaneous man is getting closer and closer to His Majesty. Not only has this guy become the governor, he has recruited a large number of Franchise men to serve Zhu Houzhao, but he is now like Zhu Houzhao's Minister of the Honglu Temple, who is responsible for contacting the monarchs. Not only that, his grandson is also a madam in a brothel, introducing various girls to Zhu Houzhao every day.

Sometimes even Liu Jin couldn't help but despise him. In Liu Jin's heart, this person tried his best to please Zhu Houzhao, despicable and shameless, and did everything he could. Even he didn't dare to introduce the queen to His Majesty, but he dared to do anything.

Zhu Houzhao, who had been in his thoughts for a long time, finally came back to his senses, held his chin and said to the direction of the door: "Come in and speak."

The door was slowly pushed open, and Hudxin, wearing Hanfu, stepped in, first bowed and bowed, and then said, "Your Majesty, things are obvious."

"Hmm?" Zhu Houzhao looked back at him.

Hurd said with a smile: "His Royal Highness Catherine, the second daughter of the Spanish King, may be the most suitable candidate for His Majesty. The two Sicilies, the Spanish, and the monarchs of Vienna are all happy to join in this marriage."

Zhu Houzhao walked to the table and sat down, then frowned and said, "Who is Catherine?"

Hudd said with a smile: "She is the daughter of the king of Spain, the first heir to the Kingdom of Spain, her mother was His Highness Isabel, and her father was from Vienna, well, from the former Holy Roman Emperor, the family of the current Austrian king..."

When Zhu Houzhao heard this messy relationship, she felt so upset that she couldn't help but say, "Speak with human words."

Hurd immediately realized that His Majesty did not like such a lengthy introduction, so he said seriously: "If His Majesty marry this princess, he can inherit the Kingdom of Spain and all the land and property of Spain overseas. In addition, because she has the blood of Habsburg, the Germans of the old Holy Roman Empire are willing to have a legitimate ruler, and in addition, given the agreement between the Venetians and the Habsburg, His Majesty can also become the monarch of Venice; and, because the two Sicilies and Naples are under the rule of Spain, then His Majesty can inherit the two Sicilies and Naples reasonably and legally, given that Spain seized North Africa seven years ago, so..."

Zhu Houzhao listened to Hed's words seriously. When he heard this, Zhu Houzhao's eyes quickly looked at the map again, obviously he had already had a scheming in his heart.

The two Sicily and Naples, plus the Papal Kingdoms that are now in their hands, Spain, North Africa, Oh, Venice, Austria and the old lands of the Holy Roman Emperor...

His eyes suddenly opened suddenly and he couldn't help but say, "Isn't this marrying this woman? I actually controlled half of the Franchise?"
