Chapter 386: Crowning
Religious fools like to use gods and ghosts, and this scene inevitably makes believers associate with 'miracles', and they look at Lin Zixian's eyes in awe, thinking that it is no wonder that the Pope will favor this young yellow man and personally hold a ceremony to canonize him, it seems that it is not without reason.
Pope Paul's somewhat dull face gradually eased, and even a smile appeared in his eyes.
He was under pressure to canonize Lin Zixian, which is also the reason why he kept the canonization strictly secret who he was in advance, and was ready to do internal ideological work afterwards. Lin Zixian's failure to follow the scheduled plan made him even more stressed, but now it seems that Lin Zixian himself has solved the follow-up troubles.
Lin Zixian's actions have undoubtedly proved the vision and authority of His Majesty the Pope, and the temporary addition of this show will undoubtedly increase the weight of the Holy See in the minds of believers, and undoubtedly tell believers all over the world that miracles are preserved.
Pope Paul suddenly couldn't help but smile bitterly in his heart, this is certainly a good thing for him and the Holy See, but it can also increase Lin Zixian's prestige in the eyes of the Catholics, and it may not be a good thing for the Holy See for a cardinal in name to gain prestige.
Today this was a fact that Paul had not anticipated, and the cardinals behind him were staring at each other. The higher the position, the more thoroughly the person understands the essence of religion, and some gods and ghosts can fool the ordinary believers below, but they can't fool them, where are the miracles? But they couldn't figure out what was going on.
Lin Zixian glanced left and right with awe-inspiring eyes, holding the Bible in one hand and leading the sixteen clergy to continue to walk forward slowly, and everywhere he went, the crowds on the left and right bowed down to salute.
Soon, Lin Zixian found Sikong Suqin and Qin Yue in the crowd, and when he saw that the two had become nuns, he couldn't help but laugh in his heart.
Glaring at the two of them, Sikong Suqin secretly hated itchy, of course she knew what Lin Zixian meant. But so many people watched. She didn't want Lin Zi to come over and make her face show in front of the media all over the world, so she had to bow down silently with the crowd around her like Qin Yue.
Lin Zi, who was dressed in a red robe and was unusually stylish, walked past the two of them with satisfaction, a bit of a fox and a fake tiger.
After standing up straight, Sikong Suqin looked at the departing big red back, her expression was extremely complicated, it is an eternal truth that beautiful women love heroes, is Lin Zixian a hero at this time? Count the romantic characters, and look at the present day!
Whether it's Sikong Suqin or Qin Yue. I found that compared with the man I had seen before and Lin Zixian at this time, it was really weak, and there was no comparison at all. Sikong Suqin's eyes were very complicated, and Qin Yue's eyes were a little lost and dazed.
It was not a long distance but it took a lot of time, and finally, Lin Zixian walked to the foot of St. Peter's Basilica, stopped, and looked up at His Majesty the Pope. The sixteen clergy behind him stood silently with their heads bowed.
Paul, dressed in a gorgeous gold suit, has a solemn expression, but he is old and old, but he is like a god looking down on mortals in the world, and he can pretend to be more forceful than Lin Zixian. It's also pretending to be more charming, after all, it's longer than the beginner's Lin Zixian stick.
I saw the papal scepter in his left hand wave slightly. Behind him was a group of cardinals, and the crowd in the square below the steps immediately whispered. The chanting instantly spread throughout Vatican City.
At the same moment, Lin Zixian, who was under the watchful eye, began to climb the steps step by step, until he reached the steps at Paul's feet, bowing slightly and saluting.
The figures of Pope Paul and Lin Zixian finally appeared on the big screen in the square at the same time, and also appeared in front of the media around the world at the same time.
The papal scepter in Pope Paul's hand was lightly pressed on Lin Zixian's right shoulder, and his majestic gaze looked into Lin Zixian's eyes. He chanted, "O Lord Almighty! Today, in your name, I confer on Caesar the title of Minister of the Holy See, Cardinal Bishop, and Chief Bishop of Greater China. ”
He concealed a small microphone in his collar, and his voice rumbled throughout the square of St. Peter's Church. Silenced the chanting of the multitude.
At today's ceremony, he is the only one who is qualified to speak through the stereo, and even Lin Zixian has not been able to use it, in order to prove the uniqueness of His Majesty the Pope.
At this time, everyone knew that the cardinal who was canonized today was named Caesar.
Many of the cardinals behind Paul showed envy or jealousy, and the conferment of the Chancellor of the Holy See and the Chief Bishop of Greater China was nothing, the key was the conferment of the 'cardinal bishop'.
Cardinals are divided into bishopric, priest and deacon, and although these three types of high-ranking clergy are called cardinals because they often wear red, there are only a few cardinals in the whole Curia.
Many people have survived all their lives and have not been able to mix with bishops, but this young man has become a bishop second only to the pope, which means that this young man has the right to run for the next pope, because every pope is elected by the bishops, which will naturally make many people feel uncomfortable.
Only the cardinals, who were second only to the pope, knew in their hearts that the pope had already been in contact with them before making this decision and needed their support.
So they know that Julius Caesar, the head of the three famous kings in the underground world, has already been wronged by submitting to the Holy See under the watchful eye of the people, and they naturally have to compensate for it, otherwise they can't be comfortable with their current status? Why bow to your Holy See?
Only those who have the strength are eligible for special benefits. People who don't have the strength want to get the courtesy of others, that's a dream.
Among them, Cardinal Agassi of Greater China, who came from China to attend the ceremony, was the most depressed, he was only at the priest level, and there was still a distance from the bishopric level, and now a chief bishop suddenly appeared, and he was so young, it was no wonder that he was not depressed.
However, the Pope had deliberately talked to him before, saying that Lin Zixian was just a name, and the de facto bishop of Greater China was still Agassi.
"Thank the Lord for the gift." Lin Zixian bowed his head slightly and replied.
Pope Paul stretched out his right hand to the side, and a bishop's red robe held a red beanie, the same one on his head. Pope Paul twisted the horn of his hat, gently put it on Lin Zixian's head, and then pressed his palm on the top of his head, and said: "Glory means duty, and may the glory of God shine on the world." ”
"Thank the Lord for the gift." Lin Zixian said piously again.
The scepter on his shoulder and the hand on his head were retracted, and Lin Zixian began to turn around, standing on the steps to face everyone in the square.
He stood silently for a long time, baptized by everyone's gaze and chanting......
Under the chanting of all the people, the canonization ceremony ended like this, and it was not complicated, and it was just that.
As Pope Paul turned away, a group of cardinals followed him into the church, and Lin Zixian, who was admired by everyone, was the last to turn around and leave, and also followed into the church.
The chanting in the square gradually subsided, the picture on the big screen was interrupted, and the crowd began to leave in an orderly manner.
Sikong Suqin and Qin Yue, who were standing in the surging crowd, looked at each other, and still had the feeling of dreaming, it felt too unreal.
"Please come with us." The two nuns on the left and right greeted the two of them and led them out of the crowd.
"I can't believe that this cardinal is so young."
"I checked the historical records just now, and this is the first ......time that a pope has held such a grand ceremony to canonize a cardinal."
In the office of the general manager of Minghua Group, the male and female hosts on TV are still talking.
Liu Yanzi was a little dazed and said: "Mr. Qiao, is this cardinal named Caesar Lin Zixian?" ”
Qiao Yun, who was standing with her arms crossed, didn't say anything, silently took the remote control and turned off the TV, turned around and walked to the floor-to-ceiling window to look out the window.
Yanzi Liu found that the general manager didn't seem to be in a good mood, so she didn't dare to disturb anymore and left softly.
As soon as the door of the office was closed, two lines of tears slipped down Qiao Yun's cold face, and her shoulders trembled, crying silently.
Maybe Lin Zixian himself didn't feel anything when he bowed his head in front of Pope Paul to accept the canonization, and maybe in the eyes of many people, this is an extremely honorable thing. But in her mind, Lin Zixian is a figure like the king of the underground world, and he is the famous Julius Caesar.
How can such a proud man bow to others?
Seeing the scene of Lin Zixian bowing his head to Pope Paul, Qiao Yun's heart was like a knife, she realized that Lin Zixian wanted to put on the cloak of religion to protect himself, the reason was naturally that he was arrested last time, in the final analysis, he was involved in him, if it wasn't for himself, how could a proud man bow his head to other men?
Her ideas are somewhat extreme and may be difficult for outsiders to understand.
Silently wiping away her tears, she felt that her plan should be accelerated, resolutely turned around and walked quickly to the clothes hanger, took out the phone that had been in one-line contact with the outside world from her Kun bag, and quickly dialed a number.
Hawke's excited voice came from the phone, "Boss, I saw the live TV broadcast, Mr. Caesar accepted the canonization of Pope Paul, oh my! Cardinal, Mr. Caesar is amazing......"
"Shut up!" Qiao Yun suddenly scolded hoarsely, startling Hawke, and Hawke asked weakly, "Boss, is there any problem?" ”
"From now on, you are not allowed to talk about this matter in front of me again!"
“…… Boss, I see. ”
Qiao Yun calmed down and asked indifferently, "How are things going?" ”
"It's going according to your plan, but it's a little tight on the money." Hawke replied.
"Money is not an issue, I will continue to pay attention, I hope you don't disappoint me, otherwise I don't mind finding someone to replace you."
"Rest assured, boss, it is my honor to work for Mr. Caesar, and I will do my best to treat this matter, and I will not let you down."
