The Rise of Iceland

Vol 3 Chapter 421: Grand Duke of Godfather Regent

Olaf’s idea of ​​being willing to purify the emperor’s side is very simple. It is to clean up Uxenchena out of personal feelings and grievances, assist Christina in power, and then harvest some political resources, place and train some party members, so that he will have more power in the future and more days. Better.

So he never thought about taking his place as the prime minister of regent to control the Swedish empire, because he really has a mentorship and father-daughter affection for Christina, so he wanted to make a story of the ages, relying on affection and relationship. Having a detached position and a rigid right position can enhance the status of the Principality of Iceland in Europe, and can provide more help and support to Vinland and Iceland.

However, Christina insisted on asking Olaf to be the prime minister of regent. This was naturally because he trusted Olaf and understood that he was not capable enough and needed Olaf to control the court. However, it did not expand the relationship between Olaf and the local Swedish officials and nobles. Intent to dislike.

Now Uxenschena’s one party has fallen, and the benefits are the Olaf’s party and the officials who fell to Christina very early, as well as the Swedish ordinary aristocratic officials who were originally ignored. Now Olaf has the most powerful position, and everyone seems He surrounded him, but apart from the core members of Olaf's party, there might not be many who can be loyal to him.

Olaf also guessed that Christina might also have a plan to defend herself, so she tried her best to promote herself. The higher her position, the more rights she should have gained, and the more popular support and support she lost in Sweden. .

  This can ensure that Olaf cannot be a thief of the country, or that he is the most reusable godfather of the regent if he does not rebel, and that he is an ungrateful eternal thief when he rebels.

Olaf guessed that Christina may not be a subjective defense, but a subconscious defense as a monarch, just like a commoner’s home, a wife has a male girlfriend, and the husband will always try his best to cut off contact between his wife and his male girlfriend. It’s not distrust, but defense. Suffer before it happens.

   After Olaf was determined to be the regent, all officials chose to support, and then the Swedish empire was regent by the Duke of Pomerania and the godfather Olaf, and the political pattern of Christina's participation in the hearing was determined.

Olaf holds the Great Scepter in his hand and becomes the most powerful person in the Swedish Empire, so no matter what the ministers think, he is completely respectful to Olaf on the surface, seeing that Olaf’s prestige status has surpassed the previous regent prime minister. Uxen Siena.

  Because Olaf’s party carefully prepared this great dynasty meeting, the letter of honoring the meritorious minister was sent to Olaf and the emperor by Li Sheng, a member of the Privy Council.

   The hundreds of people recommended by the document are eight of the high-ranking officers of the Olaf army and the leaders of the gendarmerie regiment, and a small number of them are Swedish officials who were proactive in the Uzbek operation.

Christina was very satisfied with the rewards of all personnel, but she was only dissatisfied with Olaf. She pointed to the clerk and asked: "Godfather, you are the first work, but you only give you 300 Wilgot (about 72,600 acres). ) Land, I think it’s not good, I want to appoint him as the official grand duke."

   The power of regency was given to Olaf, and it is not surprising that he was crowned with the "biggest" title.

Olaf was very happy and moved. Except for Brahe and others, everyone present was very happy, but Jesnylenin frowned slightly. He said in his heart: Your Majesty may show his true feelings, but the better she treats Olaf. , Olaf is more hateful in the eyes of the Swedes.

  Even if he doesn’t say anything on the surface, he still resents Olaf for being too high in authority, but the emperor has no responsibility. He is just a benevolent gentleman who sincerely treats the godfather and is generous with rewards. Olaf may be at risk of being killed in the future...

   Many members of the Privy Council stood up and expressed their approval. Olaf is now temporarily taking over as Prime Minister, so it is hard to say, but just got up and knelt down to thank you.

When the people’s minds are stabilized, tax cuts and many things in the world have been negotiated one by one, even if the Great Court is over, if there is no necessary reason to convene in the future, government affairs only need to be handled in the residence of the Duke of Regent Olaf or the Privy Council. .

   In February 1645, the Ming Dynasty in the Far East had died out, and the lingering Nanming Hongguang court only had a lifespan of three months.

   Europe has ushered in a year without wars and local wars. After the Baltic Sea melted in March, Dutch merchant ships, Icelandic merchant ships, and Danish merchant ships were still dragging through the Baltic Sea.

The envoys of Stockholm also sent back the shocks that occurred in the Swedish dynasty during the winter. The head of the Swedish empire changed from Uxenschener to Olaf. It also spread to European countries in March and became the most lively. News.

   Four or five versions of the saying that Christina and Olaf teamed up to overthrow Uxenchena, Olaf took the opportunity to enter the Beijing fire and threatened the emperor by the Uzbekistan continued to spread in the market and aristocratic circles.

However, because Christina did not lose her personal freedom and cooperated with Olaf in tacit understanding, there was no friction and contradiction during the regency of Uxen Siena. Therefore, after investigation, all countries have confirmed that Uxen Siena’s downfall is due to Christina and Olaf. After a cooperation between the two parties, the envoy went to Stockholm with precious gifts to send blessings and congratulations to Olaf.

Olaf began to feel the honor of becoming the sovereign of a country in March. Although he was only the regent duke of the Swedish empire, all the national books of the country regarded Olaf as the equal prince of a country, and even some small countries wrote letters. The tone of middle is somewhat low, such as Denmark and Poland.

   In short, Olaf began to indulge in the pleasure of power, and gradually adapted to his identity and entered the role.

While relying on the Privy Council and many ministers to handle government affairs, I am also happy to personally write replies to more than a dozen prime ministers including Cromwell, the protector of the Kingdom, Louis XIII of France, and Prime Minister Richelieu as the Duke Regent of the Swedish Empire~www .readwn.com~ and stated that Sweden will not change its foreign strategy in the future, and will continue to have good relations with newspapers of various countries.

In April, Hadar, Duke of Iceland, Friedrich Wilhelm, heir of the Duchy of Prussia, Eric, the new Duke of the Duchy of Sax, and the heir to the death of Duke Albert, all came to meet the Duke of Regent Olaf, as well as the Duke of Sweden. Nobles such as Marquis, Marquis, and Claure, who inherited the title of Duke of Magdeburg after Wallenstein's death, are all here.

   Olaf held a banquet at the original residence of Prime Minister Uksenschena and all the noble banquets under the Swedish empire system.

The former prime minister’s palace, now the regent duke’s palace, has also been renovated more luxuriously. The banquet will only be over for many days, and then Olaf will be accompanied by all the nobles, ministers, envoys, and emperors on April 20th. The Cathedral of Saint Nila accepted the title of "Grand Duke" crowned by the Privy Council and Lutheran elders.

The Grand Duke, as the name suggests, is the "largest duke". In the Habsburg system, he is the heir of the emperor and the prince's special item. In more countries, there has never been such a title and honor. The Grand Duke only verbally speaks to the Duke. Honorific.

   But today Olaf has become the only "Grand Duke" registered in the Swedish Empire, and his title and status have become the third person in the Swedish Empire after the Emperor and the Queen Mother.
