Chechen and Natalie met only once at the abdication ceremony of Jan kazimi. After that, although there was the Enlightenment of Jan kazimi when he left, the two once intimate lovers never met again like strangers.

    The time soon came in 1667. After the abdication of King Jan kachmidge, after a long preparatory work, the election date of the new king of Poland was determined.

    And the candidates have gradually opened up.

    Among them, a total of five candidates have attracted the most public attention and are most likely to become the new king of Poland.

    The first is Duke Dangan, the son of the great Conde, the famous French general recommended by Jan Kazimierz to Jan sobesky and Natalie after abdication. He was supported by King Louis XIV of France and the sobesky family and kishka family in Poland, and the supporters of this faction are also known as Dangan faction.

    The second is Philip William, Duke of Neuberger, Germany. His supporters behind him are the Habsburg family. Some polish nobles who are close to Habsburg are his staunch supporters. These people are also known as Neuberger school.

    The third is Charles IV, Duke of Lorraine from France. His supporters are called Lorraine school.

    The fourth is the prince mihau of the vishnevitsky family. The prince is 27 years old this year. Although his family is in decline and absurd things continue, the prestige of his dead father and his dancing mother have sent him to the election platform of the king of Poland. Moreover, many old-fashioned nobles who tend to elect a Polish king also have expectations for the noble prince. His faction is called the mihau faction.

    Finally, it was Prince boguslav razeviu who met Cherchen in Minsk.

    Boguslav was the weakest of the five, because apart from himself, his uncle, Frederick William of the Principality of Prussia, was the only one who supported him. Because of his traitorous performance in the Polish Swiss war and his Protestant status, there are few famous and famous supporters in Poland.

    However, although his strength was the weakest, boguslav was ambitious and determined to win. Because he once calculated that once the Gan faction, neuborg faction, Lorraine faction and mihau faction interfered and restrained each other in the contest for the Polish throne, according to the stubborn temper of those nobles, they would never choose their opponent''s candidate. At that time, The winner can easily fall on an uncompetitive candidate. Once such a situation occurs, this person can''t be anything else. It can only be him, a dignitary who is talented, dominating one side, rich and invincible, and comes from the rich Ding family.

    Because of the plan to strike later, boguslav has always adopted the strategy of "sneaking into the village and not shooting" in the election of the king. When anyone asks whether he is determined to win the election of the king, boguslav always humbly and implicitly said: "as long as the people want, he is willing to take responsibility".

    But at the same time, boguslav first opened a large network in Lithuania, which established Secret Alliances with all nobles willing to share weal and woe with the raziweu family, and then opened a large network in Warsaw.

    The situation was as expected at the beginning. Although the three candidates, Duke Dangan, Duke Neuburg and Duke Lorraine, are still abroad, the supporters of the three factions have long been inseparable in Poland. When supporters of any faction meet supporters of another faction, their tools of speech are not mouths, but fists and swords.

    This chaotic situation also changed the tendency of the middle and small aristocrats who accounted for the vast majority of voters, and some voices began to appear - "a Polish rather than a foreigner should be the king."

    Boguslav was delighted with this sound.

    Of course, the so-called polish does not refer to him. There is also Prince mihau of the vishnewitsky family. However, boguslav never looked at Prince miha''u, because in his eyes of overlooking all living beings, Prince miha''u, a nobleman in heaven, was an embroidered pillow. Although he is now more prestigious than himself, it all depends on his father''s past reputation. But small and medium-sized nobles are often the most practical. For them, the reputation of a candidate is often less attractive than money in the end. Otherwise, Carl x would have become the king of Poland by virtue of the reputation of jareme vishnevsky, Prince mihau''s father.

    Money, he said, was not short of Prince boguslav, while Mikhail vishnevsky was short of it.

    Therefore, Prince boguslav believes that when his competitor is only prince mihau, the winner must be himself.

    However, Prince boguslav underestimated Prince mihau. Or underestimated Prince mihau''s mother, Princess garisade.

    "A polish, not a foreigner, should be the king" was spread by the princess. The purpose of Princess garisade''s doing so, of course, is not to contribute to bogusslav''s accession to the throne of the king of Poland, but to help her son.

    Therefore, Princess garisade had already had corresponding countermeasures on how to make bogusslav unable to compete with her son.

    A way to stop boguslav from electing a king.

    Originally, in the process of determining the candidates for the new king, there is a link called qualification. As the name suggests, qualification examination is a link in which the members of the examination committee eliminate those candidates who do not meet the election conditions. However, although the review committee has this power, it rarely uses it. Because who can run for the king of Poland is not a famous figure in Europe, and who does not have thousands of supporters in the Republic. Several of the members of the review committee are willing to risk resentment to offend a big figure.

    But this time, Princess garisade made full use of this legal procedure and gave boguslav a fatal blow.

    Once, when a member of Parliament bought by Princess garisade questioned the legitimacy of Prince boguslav raziweu''s qualification as a member of Parliament, before boguslav''s peers in the committee could distinguish, a strong voice broke out from the audience: "a traitor, a traitor! Or a foreign official."

    This voice was followed by other voices - from some members of Parliament who shared this voice. As a result, the parliament was divided into two factions, one demanding the disqualification of Prince boguslav and the other demanding his recognition.

    Finally, it was decided to refer the issue to the court, which conducted mediation, and finally recognized boguslav''s qualification.

    Although boguslav is still a candidate for the throne, Princess garisade''s goal has obviously been achieved. With the news of that day, the long memory of boguslav''s betrayal of the Republic was awakened in the minds of the people again, and his identity as governor of the Principality of Prussia was also known.

    It can be said that boguslav is a candidate for the throne and will only be a candidate for the throne.
