There was silence in the hall.

The needle was heard, and everyone held their breath, and they looked at the guy with a shocked look.

What is this guy Francesco Conaro talking about?

For a moment, they even thought they had heard it wrong.

Then a thought came to their minds. Is this guy crazy?

"Your Highness, Venice requests His Majesty the Emperor to confer the prince as King of Venice so that the Venetian officials and people can enjoy the Ming Dynasty!"

Once again, Francesco Conaro repeated his request.

He is crazy!

Most of the people present thought so. At least for a moment, everyone thought Francesco Conaro was crazy. Wouldn't he be afraid that Domenico II Contarini would go back to duel with him?

"He must be crazy!"

Little Earl Gaspar heard Baron Ferrinando, the envoy of the Kingdom of Naples beside him muttering to himself.

"Aren't he afraid that the Venetian nobles would hang him?"

As a Naples, Baron Ferrinando was familiar with Venice. Seeing the former governor's "performance", he even broke into a cold sweat for him. He was afraid that the little Earl Gaspar was not familiar with him, so he explained specifically.

"Your Excellency, Venice is said to be a republic, but in fact it is a noble politics. All the governors over the past thousand years have come from dozens of great noble families in Venice. Since the founding of the Venetians, those nobles have tried every means to prevent all the possibility of tyranny and monarchy. Although a few governors in their history tried to implement hereditary system, they were all resolved by the Venetians in various ways."

What method?

Those governors who intentionally turned their posts into hereditary often did not have a good end. Some were murdered, some were dug, some were forced to go to monasteries, and some were exiled overseas. Anyway, in a word, the nobles of Venetian would never allow the governor to become monarch. In order to prevent the governor from becoming monarched, the Venetians came up with many ways to restrict the governor, and often chose the simplest and most efficient way to kill him. Just as the elders of Rome killed Caesar.

"What the Venetians are most worried about is the appearance of a monarch, worried that someone will overtake them and that the governor cannot be hereditary. The electorate of the governor and the candidates of the governor are both hereditary Venetian nobles. Therefore, Venetian politics is still an absolute aristocratic politics, but it is just that the monarch is not allowed to appear. As long as there is no monarch, Venice is the master of their own country. But now Francesco Conaro has invited them a king, which is simply... seeking death!"

Venice has the characteristics of Venice. It is true that he is a republic, but he is a typical "noble oligarchy". The so-called governor is often the product of the power balance of the great nobles. Although the rulers cannot be monarched, it is impossible for civilians to take office.

"Your Excellency, I dare say that after this news is transmitted back to Venice, there is no need to wait for the group of ten people. The Venetian "Golden Pi" nobles in the Great Parliament will vote, and he will be assassinated on the dock. How could those Jin Pi nobles accept that an outsider is above them?"

What is the so-called "Golden Nobles"?

It is the "fundamental guarantee" for the Venetian aristocracy to ensure the inheritance of power. The cornerstone of Venice's power is the Great Parliament, and entering the Great Parliament is not only close to power, but also a supreme honor. However, the illegitimate children of the nobles or children born to untouchables are not qualified. In order to prevent cheating, the Venetians formulated a system of "golden plots". From marriage to children of the nobles, they must be strictly registered and recorded, which is the so-called "golden plot". When aristocratic families reach adulthood, only those on the list of gold plots are qualified to enter the Great Parliament.

It is through this system that power is inherited within a fixed family. As for civilians... civilians must have the awareness of civilians and do not consider any political status. If you go to business, you may still be able to make a fortune.

"So, when he returns to Venice, what is waiting for him is either a gallows or a dagger, or maybe even when he is on the sea, he will be thrown into the sea. Look at the other Venetians, they are all staring at the guy Francesco Conaro in anger."

Sure enough, following his gaze, most of the Venetians who were accompanying him were angry. Obviously, they did not expect Francesco Conaro to make such a decision.

What to do now?

No one knows, but almost everyone knows Francesco Conaro is dead!

He is crazy!

The little Earl Gaspar even prayed for Francesco Conaro.

What a poor guy!

What kind of stimulation did he suffer to make such a stupid decision!

Crazy?

Stupid?

Francesco Conaro would never feel that way. When he made this decision, he had thought about the consequences that would arise.

Of course, the opposition of all Venetians must be those nobles. As for the common people, they are just civilians. Just concentrate on doing business. Major national affairs have nothing to do with them.

But when the nobles understood why he made this choice, they would kneel down in front of the Chinese princes, willingly invited the prince from afar to the Governor's Mansion, and rush to put the crown on his head.

"Francisco Conaro, are you sure?"

Zhu Heyu is not unfamiliar with Venice, and even with all European countries. Of course, he knows the so-called "golden spectrum system" in Venice and the so-called "oligarchy".

This is the so-called "republic"? However, turning a family game into a dozen or hundreds of games is precisely because there are too many people engaged in this game that Venice is really "the top-grade one has no poor family, and the lowest-grade one has no civilians". In Venice, civilians are not even able to engage in politics, not to mention the most common officials.

Such a Venice, who has maintained the "republic system" for thousands of years by assassinating, scattering eyes, and poisoning, actually wants the prince of the Ming Dynasty as their king. This is simply absurd!

But that's how things in the world are.

So absurd!

In fact, Europe in this era is so absurd, just like Naples, he is now co-prime with Spain, and the king of Spain is their king.

It's no big deal to welcome a king from abroad.

But the problem is that Venice... is different!

However, Zhu Heyu did not refuse this. After all, this is a broken window effect!

With Genoa's beginning, and with the followers of the Venetians, in the future... will the Naples welcome a prince of the Ming Dynasty as their king?

"Of course, Your Highness, please believe me, this is the hope of every Venetian!"

Yeah?

Looking at the angry Venetians, Zhu Heyu even suspected that if they had weapons, they would have pounced on him and killed this "traitor".

However, the more "traitors" such as this, the better! Who says traitors are not good? The key depends on the role change, and which country they are selling is not.

"Um,"

Nodded, Zhu Heyu said.
Chapter completed!
