Engaging in this matter is theoretically a great sin in Catholicism. If this is confirmed, then it should definitely be broken. But in fact, the matter of engaging in the foundation is actually very common and even semi-public among the high-ranking nobles and high-level clergy. In fact, almost no one really takes it seriously. So the pope suddenly sent someone to investigate this matter, which is really intriguing.

Because if someone with ulterior motives wants to frame someone, engaging in the foundation is a very common and very useful crime. For example, in order to get rid of his creditors and at the same time grab a handful of creditors to make a fortune, King Philip IV of France used Pope Clement V, who was living in Avignon, to declare his creditors the Knights Templar to be heretics and commit the crime of collective foundation, and then tied the Knights Templar to the stake and made a barbecue. From then on, accusing the other party of being a is one of the commonly used methods to frame others. Especially for the French, this is almost a traditional skill.

Austria reacted immediately, and the Kaiser Fritz immediately issued a statement declaring this utter outrageous and an insult to Austria. His Majesty the Emperor Fritz said that he believed that His Majesty the Pope must have been deceived by the villains around him to make such a ridiculous decision. In order to prove his innocence, for the sake of God and justice, he decided to ...... at once

It is not daring to raise troops immediately, at least not now. Although directly raising troops against the papal monarch can also be regarded as the traditional art of the HRE Emperor, but now they are separated from the Papal States by the Italian legion of the French. In addition, some nobles in the country also seem to be unstable, and they want to take advantage of this opportunity to come out and do something, so Emperor Fritz II can only immediately send Archduke John as an envoy to the Pope and beg him to withdraw his order.

According to the history books, Archduke John and the Pope had some unpleasant quarrels, but naturally failed to convince the Pope, but instead got the Pope to face the so-called "evidence" that was not too sufficient, and hastily made a judgment that Fritz II was apostasy.

Of course, this is the most reliable statement in the history books. There are also some less reliable rumors that describe this story.

According to some conscientious historical inventors, after the Archduke John saw His Majesty the Pope, after the salute was finished, His Majesty the Pope voluntarily withdrew from the left and right, and only the two people left in the whole living room, Archduke John and His Majesty the Pope. Archduke John said: "Your Majesty, the Sun was originally a ninth-rate tabloid, inferior and shameless, rare in the world. And my majesty, pious and noble, if the day is clear. How can His Majesty be because of ......"

Before he finished speaking, he suddenly saw the Pope close his eyes and weep and sighed: "The Grand Duke doesn't need to say much, I also know what the Sun said, and I can't take it seriously." Just looking into the matter, it's not really what I meant...... The Holy See really has no choice, otherwise, why is it here? However, the Grand Duke does not have to worry about His Majesty the Emperor, there will always be a day when His Majesty will be rehabilitated. And His Majesty will definitely be able to see it on this day. ”

Archduke John saw that the Pope was pitiful, and knew that the Pope really did not make this matter. After they received Metternich's letter, they naturally knew that this was all a conspiracy of the French, so at this time, he didn't know what to say, so he could only sigh and say: "So Your Majesty, I don't know when the results of this investigation will come out?" ”

Archduke John knew that the Pope could not be the master of this matter, and who made everyone unable to defeat the French? Sure enough, the truth is always in the hands of those with big fists.

Since the Pope cannot be the master in this matter, it is natural not to ask what the results of the investigation will be. Now we can only see if we can find a way to slow down the process of the investigation a little.

"Alas, Grand Duke, now you know the situation in the Holy See, so I won't hide it from you, they all thought that the conclusion of the investigation and the punishment decision were written, only the following date is still empty. I have heard, however, that the French are preparing a real and great desecration of the sacred, and that the conclusion of the investigation and the decision on punishment will be made public when that matter is completed, but His Majesty the Emperor should not be too worried, for the decision of rehabilitation will be made soon after the completion of this matter. The time in between will not be more than a month. ”

Now, the Pope has shown his sincerity to the greatest extent. And Archduke John has nothing to do, and in this situation, there is only lamentation.

A big event that the French were preparing, Duke John knew what it was. Napoleon was so happy that he was famous all over the world. Recently, he has put forward a completely new plan, which is to revive the ancient Olympic traditions in order to promote world peace. After a break of more than 1,400 years, this tradition was revived again.

The ancient Olympic Games were inseparable from the traditional religions of Greece and Rome. It is part of the ritual of worshipping Zeus, the king of all gods. So in 393 A.D., after the Roman Emperor Theodosius I declared Christianity the state religion, the Olympic Games were recognized as pagan activities and abolished.

Now these French people are openly declaring that they want to revive this pagan activity, this is not apostasy, what is apostasy? This is not heresy, what is heresy?

However, this is really not an apostasy, it is really not a heresy. Whoever dares to say that this is an apostasy, a heretic, a pious, and the French people, who have always insisted on persuading people with the truth, will not hesitate to persuade him with the truth of democracy and freedom.

So, even the Holy See had to say that the idea of the French was very good, especially the Olympic Armistice. The cessation of all acts of war during the Games is a manifestation of God's love for mankind and God's love for the world, so if you want to ask His Holiness if he supports it, then how can His Holiness not support it? Did the Pope find the scenery of Avignon more beautiful?

Therefore, His Holiness the Pope will not only support it, but even when the Games begin, His Holiness will personally represent God to bless the Games.

Of course, considering that the Games itself still requires a lot of preparation, it is estimated that it will take at least two years to prepare for the whole process, so Emperor Fritz II still has enough time to make the necessary preparations.

Duke John, after this simple and frank exchange with the Pope, did not even spend a second longer in the city of Rome. As soon as he left the Papal Palace in the Vatican, he got into a carriage and left Rome, and rushed back to Austria overnight.

Immediately afterwards, Metternich began to operate frantically in France, and within a short period of time, France reached a series of cooperation agreements with Austria.
