"Let's go, go to the small town of Cato in the south, there's good stuff there!"

Wu Tianyuan took people to the small town of Cato in France non-stop, and the Ring of the Conqueror said that there was a treasure there, which was the last treasure of King Philip IV, who was known as a beautiful man.

Speaking of this guy, he is definitely a ruthless character, one of the famous kings of the Capetian dynasty in France, during his reign, he attacked the aristocracy and defended the interests of France, and two Roman popes died under him in a row.

In order to have enough money to support the war, he confiscated the property of the French Church and imposed a tithe, so he came into conflict with the pope. In 1309, he sent troops to kidnap the then pope and take him to France, where he was placed under house arrest in the small southern city of Avignon. For the next 100 years, the pontificate continued to be held by a French puppet, and the Holy See went from prosperity to decline. History calls this event the "Prisoner of Avignon".

Pope Boniface VIII, who had been Pope since 1294, was an imperious and stubborn clerical supremacy. He considered Philip IV's taxation of the clergy for the war against England to be an infringement of ecclesiastical privileges and a violation of the principle that Christian nations should be united in their crusades.

In 1296, Boniface VIII issued a royal decree affirming the privilege of the Church to be exempt from taxation, and the papacy of Rome had the supreme sovereignty over all ecclesiastical property, declaring that the king could neither tax the clergy nor the clergy to the king without the permission of the pope, and excommunicated the church.

Philip IV was furious at this edict and immediately responded by declaring that no subject of the Kingdom of France should export gold, silver, currency, weapons, or horses without the king's permission. Although this provision did not specify the opposition to the papacy, it actually forbade the French princes and clergy to pay tribute to the papacy, thus blocking the papacy's financial resources.

The pope had to back down in 1297 to allow clergy to pay taxes voluntarily without the consent of the pope. Philip IV then won the first round of the battle for financial power with the Pope.

However, in 1301, a dispute broke out between Philip IV and the Pope over judicial power. A bishop of Languedoc was convicted by the King's Court on charges of treason, and Philip IV asked the Pope to remove him from his priesthood so that he could be punished. Boniface VIII, who had made a fortune with a centennial amnesty in 1300, felt that he had nothing to fear, and decided to fight back against Philip IV.

Philip IV took strong steps to mobilize the whole country to fight back against the pope. He first fabricated and published a summary of the papal edict in an even more arbitrary tone, which he used to anger the whole nation.

Then Philip IV burned the papal edict in public and solemnly declared that his descendants would be forever damned if they subordinated the state to any authority other than God. In this atmosphere, on May 10, 1302, Philip IV convened for the first time at Notre-Dame de Paris, a council of the Estates-General composed of clergy, nobles and burghers, to exploit the anti-eclytic sentiment of the petty nobles and burghers and suppress the clergy from obeying the king.

Philip IV sent a force of men led by the vizier Nogale into Italy, and together with the anti-papal forces in Italy, arrested Boniface VIII at Anani on September 7, beat him up, and prepared to bring him back to France for trial. Although the Pope came to escape, she died of grief a little more than a month later.

Soon after the death of Boniface VIII, Philip IV supported his friend Bertron, Archbishop of Bordeaux, as Pope, calling him Clement V. The new pope was very deferential to Philip IV. During this period, the vast majority of cardinals in the Holy See were French, and the Pope fully adhered to the will of the King of France and became the "royal pope" of the King of France.

This black history is an eternal scar for the Holy See, and it is an absolute taboo for hundreds of years! For them, a great shame that will be difficult to wash away for a thousand years. So the Capet family and the Holy See have been fighting endlessly, even now, they don't get along with each other, and they secretly don't know how many times they have fought?

"Hehe, it's really some black insiders again, this time it's even more popular, it turned out to be a letter written by Philip IV!"

Wu Tianyuan listened excitedly to the letter to introduce his origin, which was his own letter when he contacted the Italian anti-papal organization to arrest the pope. And how is it documented to torture? How to torture to extract a top-secret file!

When Andrew saw the files, his face turned green! It took a while to calm down and whisper, "This is the most comprehensive evidence of sin I have ever seen, and I believe that even His Majesty the Holy Father has never seen such evil evidence of sin!" ”

Andrew stood up, walked for a few minutes to calm down, and finally decided: "I agree to your request, isn't it just a small bowl of wood kiln in the Louvre?" Now the Holy See is not that time to be weak and powerless, hum, two days! You give me two days! ”

Wu Tianyuan nodded with satisfaction, in fact, going directly to Henry would definitely be able to blackmail him into handing over the firewood kiln, but it didn't end up with any favors, just a deal.

How good it is now, after a few trades, firmly grasp the line of Andrew. He secretly investigated, and there was also infighting within the Holy See, and several factions were playing games with each other. Andrew has been unknown and is not a strong figure among cardinals.

But since he met Wu Tianyuan, he has retrieved holy relics several times, which has impressed the Pope with him. This is also the fundamental reason why Andrew Tiexin bought Wu Tianyuan, with this relationship, he can continue to use the Pope to expand his power and become a big man with the right to speak.

This discovery is significant, although not a holy relic, but it is related to the greatest disgrace of the Holy See for thousands of years. It must be controlled in its own hands, once exposed, it will be an absolute fatal blow to the faith of the believers!

Do you want the Pope to be tortured and humiliated by mortals? What a threat!

Wu Tianyuan had a good rest in the Vatican for two days, which was also considered a vacation, and Andrew accompanied him throughout the whole process, and the relationship between the two became closer and closer, and they reached an alliance intention.

"Hehe, the firewood kiln will still be mine later!"

Wu Tianyuan excitedly played with the small bowl, comparing it with the difference between it and the Ru kiln, from the glaze color, the firewood kiln is the azure color of the rain over the azure clouds, and the Ru kiln is closest to the firewood kiln in color, but the color is lighter, light cyan.

Because the firewood kiln has not seen the real thing before, the world began to call the color of the Ru kiln azure, to be precise, the color of the Ru kiln is very similar to the light cyan of the wood kiln azure, which is the closest to the two.

Judging from the brightness of the glaze, the firewood kiln is radiant, bright as a mirror, and the body is full of waves, while the crisp light of the Ru kiln is restrained and subtle, and the two are far apart.

Judging from the porcelain tire and thin thickness, the firewood kiln is a coarse loess tire, and the Ru kiln is a fragrant ash tire. The firewood kiln is as thin as paper, and the Ru kiln is much thicker than the firewood kiln, even several times thicker.

From the sound point of view, the wall of the firewood kiln is thin, the sound of the hand knock is clear and long, the wall of the Ru kiln is thicker than the wall of the firewood kiln, the sound of the hand knock is short and solid, compared with the firewood kiln, it is like the firewood kiln is a female voice, and the Ru kiln is a male voice.

Finally, from the point of view of the firing process, the firewood kiln is astringent, and most of the Ru kilns are full of glaze burning, such as the size of sesame, and some porcelain in the Ru kiln also has leaky tire burning, from the perspective of the bottom process, the Ru kiln is more advanced than the firewood kiln.

Wu Tianyuan carefully compared the two objects, and after getting started, he had a clearer understanding of them, and asked Geng Lao to come over in two days and let him explain it well.

He has a big plan in mind, and the time is not yet ripe, but he must also prepare in advance. Once successful, it will be a big profit, and it can even monopolize the lifeblood of the market. When the time comes, you don't need to look at anyone's face, you are a wealthy family! (To be continued.) )
