Chapter 771: Teamwork

Some people may be about to ask, although it is a great thing for this official to be promoted to the next level, but is it necessary to be so excited?

The difference between the chief bishop and the vicar is a thousand miles, one is an independent and self-respecting leader, and the other is just a subordinate who only promises to help others work!

And among these bishops, the most excited are not the vicar who have the hope of removing the word "deputy" from their heads, but the highest-ranking Bishop Richelieu in the audience!

Why? In fact, it is very simple, in the bureaucratic system of the Church of Light, there are three kinds of bishops, from the lowest to the highest, they are the blue-clothed bishops, the purple bishops, and the cardinals. Among them, the blue cardinal and the purple cardinal have deputies, but only the cardinal with the highest status has no deputy cardinal at all!

What does this mean? This means that Richelieu, as the archbishop of the Orthodox province (purple cardinal), only needs to be promoted one step further, and he will be able to touch the most powerful and prestigious position besides the pope-cardinal!

This is the most critical step from a local magistrate to the central brain! As long as he takes this step, he will no longer be an archbishop of a frontier province who can only struggle in the desert of faith in the Kingdom of France, but can directly enter the sequence of central leaders of the Holy See and become one of them!

Not only that, Richelieu also clearly knows that the middle and upper echelons of the Holy See are withering at this moment, and His Majesty Leo is in urgent need of talents who can fill the upper position.

Richelieu is a whole generation older than Leo, and at a normal age, Richelieu will not be able to challenge Leo's papal throne in his life, because normally Richelieu must have died earlier than Leo, and many years earlier.

But it is precisely because of Leo's youth that once Richelieu has made great contributions to Leo, then Leo may take care of Richelieu's son and even his grandson because of this!

One great achievement can make you hope to become a cardinal, and you can also let three generations of your children and grandchildren be bequeathed, how can you make Richelieu not excited, how can you not be excited?

In fact, this idea is not only Richelieu himself, but every vicar present has more or less thought of this, you must know that His Majesty Leo is a pope who is not yet twenty years old! At this moment, the youngest vicar in the Chamber of Secrets is old enough to be Leo's father!

In such a situation, none of them will be able to challenge Leo's papacy due to their longevity, but they all hope to leave a legacy for their deeds in front of Leo.

At this moment, everyone in the secret room has the same thought in their heads, that is, they must hug Pope Leo tightly, and at least be able to thicken their thighs for tens or even hundreds of years!

Don't look at the thoughts in the minds of the bishops in the secret room, in fact, only a few seconds have passed at this time, and Leo's image seems to be deliberately waiting for this time for the bishops to think, so he didn't speak again until this time.

"According to the notice of the commander of the rebel army, Duke Lean, he will send 30,000 cavalry from the west to attack the city of Paris on September 12, and arrive at the city of Paris in the early morning of September 17, and will release white fireworks as a signal. When the Jimny is newly withdrawn, the guards in the city will be temporarily relaxed, and if you can open the west gate of Paris City at this time, then it will be a miracle! ”

But Leo's words did not end there, but continued: "If it is really impossible to open the West Gate, then I hope that you will spread rumors in Paris City, and if you have the opportunity, you will join forces with the rebels outside the city!" ”

"This is a difficult task, but it is precisely this critical moment that can truly show a person's loyalty and ability, and please prove to the world that your excellence and talent will be recorded in history forever!"

After saying this, Leo's image slowly dissipated, and the white ball cracked into countless pieces with a snap.

There was silence in the room, and the bishops, you look at me, I look at you, and finally understand what the task that has fallen on you is.

After a moment, Bishop Richelieu broke the silence with a cough: "Ladies and gentlemen, I think you have all heard the instructions of His Majesty the Pope very clearly, so please express your opinions." ”

An adjucar took the lead: "Although Pope Leo has shown us two paths with his leniency, in my personal opinion, it seems that the first, that is, the one that opens the west gate and allows 30,000 cavalry to enter the city, is more worth trying. ”

Everyone nodded in agreement with the bishop's opinion, and everyone knew in their hearts that although Pope Leo's promise was to promote everyone to the next level, only the first method was the real chance to make the matter of promotion to the next level.

As for the second method, although it is more secure, if you spread rumors, a few spies can do it, and when the time comes, the army will besiege the city of Paris, and the security will definitely not be as lax as it is at this moment, so how easy is the opportunity to cooperate with the outside world?

The first method is to take risks, but once the risk is successful, the rewards are extremely rich, not only for one person but even for the benefit of future generations, compared to the second method, although the risk is low, but the benefits that can be expected are too small.

So the bishops immediately began to discuss how to take Simon.

An adjugate said, "I know a believer who is Simon's officer on duty, and if he happens to be on duty on the seventeenth, perhaps we can take advantage of that." ”

Another vicar said, "I... One of my lovers is the lover of General Bravo, who is in charge of the defense of the West Gate, and I will try to see if I can get some information from her. ”

The bishops were chattering, and after a while, they had gathered a large network of relationships, from soldiers to generals, covering the entire garrison of the west gate of Paris City.

"Very good." Bishop Richelieu nodded, and said very seriously: "Today is the 15th of September, and there are only less than two days left in the early morning of the 17th. ”

After a few moments, the bishops walked out of the chamber with a serious face, and quietly plunged into the operation with full enthusiasm.
