Minister's fatal region

And now Freud explained what would happen to the minister should he delay Freud's promotion: It is perhaps even more likely that by postponement ... the Minister himself will reach that fatal (causing death) region. By now, it should be obvious what Freud is saying. Should he not immediately be promoted, the minister would die.
Notably, Freud doesn't say "may" but "will". And he clarified that once, the minister will reach that fatal region ... his most amiable intentions would be as immaterial to the person concerned as his most hostile ones; a possibility, by the way, which can be suggested to a Minister only in the most subtle manner.*
The statement doesn't make much sense unless we interpret it in the following manner: in that fatal regions, the minister's most amiable intentions would be as immaterial to the person concerned [thus Freud] as his  [Freud's] most hostile ones [intentions]. And, Freud's most hostile are without doubt the murderous ones.
As Freud explained, this fatal, possibility [of being murdered by Freud] can be suggested to a Minister only in the most subtle manner. Freud was a murderer, but he was too clever to spell things out, and it is doubtful whether Elise really realised what he was saying and asking her to do.. So far, no one seems to have understood Freud's statement's hidden deadly meaning.
Actually, his excellency was lucky to avoid death by Freud, thanks to the latter's promotion to an associate professor, in March 1902, thus only four months later.
N.B. Who was the astronomer Seni that Freud referred to and why did he? As a footnote explained, Giovanni Baptista Seni (1600-1656), [was] an Italian astrologer. Thus, there's a "mistake" in Freud's statement. (Actually, since Freud never committed such primitive mistakes, this is, no doubt, a clue, but what does he want to say?
Moreover, the fact that Freud changes the profession of Seni, it means that the hint is not to be easily deciphered by whoever is reading the letter. So, why did Seni's profession had to be surreptitious? The hint is contained on the painting, Seni at the Dead Body of Wallenstein, of 1855. Albrecht von Wallenstein (1583-1634) was a Bohemian soldier and politician. He became the supreme commander of the armies of the Habsburg Monarchy .... He was assassinated ... by one of the army's officials, Walter Devereux. Seni was the astrologer of Wallenstein.**
Obviously, Freud's mention of Seni, is a reference to an assassination of the minister. As an astrologer, Seni could predict a person's future. Also, Freud's former boyfriend, Fliess, whom Freud also mentioned, liked to manipulate numbers in order to predict the crucial events of a person's life, death included. Moreover, it should be pointed out that in 1901, after Freud's attempt on his life a year earlier, Fliess was no longer Freud's friend. This may be yet another reference to an assassination.
Apparently, in his bizarre mind, Freud already imagined himself standing over the excellency's dead body.
There's  also the question of Freud, besides Seni, referencing Fliess. Oddly, forgetting his attempt on the latter's life, a year earlier, in August 1900, Freud was still calling Fliess his friend.
As Freud pointed out, also for Fliess, the time was the most important element in all human concerns. This is a hint, but what is it that Freud was hinting at? Fliess believed he had found a way of  predicting important events in a person's life by manipulating numbers. Among others, he (incorrectly) predicted Freud's date of death. Thus, for those familiar with Fliess' theory, the hint, aka threat, is obvious. The lifetime of excellency, unless Freud soon would have been made a professor, was running out.
