Chapter 325: Transaction of Rights
It seems that there is a certain connection between kingship and divine power in medieval Europe, and when the king is crowned, there is a religious guy to anoint the ceremony, representing the divine right of kings or something. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info In this way, the kingship and the divine right are linked, so that a leader becomes the class between the people and the gods, and at the same time, religion is above the kingship to a certain extent?
However, until then, the theory of descent and election was still an important factor in determining the choice of king. Pedigree is still a top priority. The whole is a kind of king, this kind of leader must have this idea from a certain line of family blood, and it was dominant for a long, long time at that time, and even at the end of the Merovingian dynasty, the prime ministers had the power to put the Merovingian royal family he liked on the throne, but they did not choose the king from another family, this idea was deeply ingrained to a certain level, and all other factors were left behind.
Of course, if you study it carefully, the question of royal power is not so simple, these things have only been briefly understood by Su Yu in her extracurricular books, and more details have long been forgotten. But it doesn't matter, the kingship of this world is much simpler than that of medieval Europe on the earth in the past.
Probably because of history or power systems or other relationships, royal blood is not so absolute in most countries in this world. In Skaloa it was also far from the point where it was necessary for a certain family to be inaccessible, and although it was true that bloodline had some influence on royal power, it did not play a decisive role.
The twists and turns in the entire aristocratic world are already completely in the hands of Andris and Bethel, and in such an environment, the bloodline theory itself does not have a particularly large living space. The same electoral argument will not be an obstacle at all, and in the end, the popular acceptance, which is equally important, has completely fledgled to Angus's side after the war against Sunderland.
On the other hand, the last straw that overwhelmed the effect of the descent theory came from the religion represented by the Holy See of Light......
This is probably the first time in the history of this world that religious forces have directly intervened in a country, although it did not directly override the royal power, but it directly intervened and became one of the factors affecting the royal power. This is probably the first time in the history of the Holy See.
It can be regarded as a change from the traditional style of neutrality of the Holy See, and while intervening in the royal power, the position is completely inclined to a certain political subject such as a certain country. In a sense, it can probably be regarded as a new milestone for the Holy See......
This means that the Holy See in the future may no longer be the same as it is now, and the neutral organization between various countries and other organizations may spread the so-called favor of God while taking on other political overtones.
Kahlil didn't care what happened to the Holy See in the future, and it was not surprising that the Holy See was going to intervene in this coronation, but what really surprised her was the obvious tendency of the Holy See.
She had thought that the Holy See would only participate as a guest, a relatively objective position that would have little to do with Scalloa, but she did not think that the Holy See would abandon its traditional position and switch to direct royal intervention - although the current attitude of intervention is to express support.
This makes Karil, very, very, very ...... Not happy.
Although the Holy See has almost made it clear that this matter has become a foregone conclusion, and the moment Carlil heard from Angus that the Pope will crown the king, he already knew that the Holy See could not change this decision for other reasons, but this still did not make Carlil give up the unhappiness in his heart.
She just doesn't like religion, anyway, she has a very bad impression of religion, especially medieval religion, even in contemporary religion, there are a lot of problems, anyway, Karil doesn't think there is anything to like about those gods. If you have to say it, the local Taoism of the Celestial Empire made it easier for her to accept.
There are many preconceptions that are difficult to change after they are formed, and even if Carlil knows that this is colored glasses, she is stubbornly unwilling to change her opinion.
She was in a good mood after a day of fishing, and in the small meeting that night, she was distracted by this news from the Holy See, and after eating, she was teleported directly from the villa back to Hobbes's Andris Castle, and did not say a word to everyone in the villa. Angelo, who was not at ease, also followed.
However, he did not find Carlil in the castle of Andris's family, and Carlil had already left here before him, and went straight to Angus alone, so Angelo had to entrust Gahia to help find someone to show him the way, and he hurried to find Karil.
When the old ghost found Angus with a dark-faced Karil, Angus was still in his study, and many things had been handed over to his staff members to deal with in the past few days, so that he had a lot of free time, and in addition to relaxing, he simply put a bottle of red wine on his desk, and while reviewing various files, he could still spare time to drink two glasses if he had nothing to do. It's much easier than the previous scorching days.
When the old ghost entered the house, he planned to go up and knock on the door of Angus's study according to the rules, and tell them that they were coming to see him, but before he could raise his hand, Carlil hurriedly went up and pushed the door directly, and saw Angus sitting behind the desk.
The old ghost apologized for the sudden interruption, and he whispered sorry to Angus, then bowed to Karil and turned back and left the room behind him, leaving the two of them alone.
"You agreed to the conditions offered by the Holy See?" Kahlil went up and propped one hand on Angus's desk, staring at Angus.
"Conditions?" Angus raised an eyebrow.
The reason why Karil appeared here was not a surprise to Angus at all, he was just a little surprised that Karil appeared so early, and he also thought that Karil would not know the news until a few days later, and then get out of the previous state of chaos, and then come back to him.
Unexpectedly, she appeared in front of her overnight tonight.
Unhurriedly, Angus picked up a new glass from the plate containing the bottles, and frustrated Kahlier, "Would you like some?" ”
Karil reached out and took it after Angus had poured the wine into the glass himself, then raised his hand and took a sip, then frowned.
"Ahem—I'm going to talk about it anyway, religion, be careful," Karyl wanted to pat the table again, but the wine glass in her hand made her feel like she couldn't do what she should have, and simply gave up on the idea.
"Of course, this is a consensus that we have negotiated together many times before we reached a consensus," Angus replied with a shrug of his shoulders, "You know this, we are each fighting for our own interests." ”
No matter who it is, which side, what faction, which organization in the world is now, it is nothing more than to survive for their own interests.
"But after the infiltration of religion...... That's far more serious than you think. Karil shook her head vigorously.
Although he rushed over very aggressively just now, this momentum was quickly suppressed by his own reason after not maintaining a few words, no matter what aspect he considered, the Holy See's intervention seemed to be a matter of course, and now there would be no room for trouble for himself.
"Don't worry, of course we have a sense of proportion." Angus smiled casually, as if he didn't take Carlil's statement to heart.
Now the Holy See is still in the same boat as itself, but after gaining support, it will soon be able to infiltrate Scarloa, and once it has enough influence, no one can guarantee what will happen in the future, including the Pope.
Compared to Carlil, Angelo was much more civilized when he came, at least he asked the old ghost to go up and knock on the door, and only after obtaining Angus's approval did he enter Angus's study, and found Carlil here with a deflated face.
And Kahlil still had a glass of red wine in her hand that was almost finished.
This made Angelo breathe a little relieved in his heart, and after saying hello to Angus formulaically, he said to Karil: "It seems that I am here a little redundantly?" ”
He was originally worried that Karil, who had an opinion on the intervention of the Holy See, would come out and make something out of the moment, but Karil's appearance has obviously calmed down now, so he doesn't have to worry about what else she will make waves.
"You already knew the Holy See's decision?" Kahlil didn't respond to Angelo's words, but turned around and asked directly.
Angelo smiled wryly, touched his beard and did not answer.
"Answer Me"
"Okay, yes," Angelo pinched his long beard and deliberately avoided Carlil's gaze, "You see that I used to be a generation of popes...... Well, the Holy See of Light can continue to develop......"
Of course he won't stop it, right?
"You never told me before." Carlil frowned at Angelo.
"I said, will you agree?" Angelo asked directly.
He is not just Carlil's sworn friend, he also wears the same pants as the Holy See to a certain extent, and of course he will be appropriately inclined to the position of the Holy See.
"You will put divine power above royal power...... They weren't originally directly related," said Karil, dissatisfied, slamming her cup on the table: "The Holy See's position will shift from neutrality to a country like Scalloa, but what about after that?" What if one day in the future there is a disagreement on some important issue? By that time the Holy See was already entrenched in Scaloa. ”
Angus interrupted Carlil's questioning of Angelo, who replied in his place, "But we both desperately need each other's support, which is a huge benefit for both of us. ”
"But it's going to be a long-term problem." Kahlil raised her head and drank the red wine from the quilt, then put down the glass and looked at Angus with a complicated expression.
Unless, there is another way to suppress the Holy See. (To be continued.) )
