The enthronement ceremony ended in the morning, and at noon the Holy See entertained the guests with a "sacrament" ("Holy Communion" made of unleavened flour and "Holy Blood" with red wine). Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

It was at this reception that the time came for Marin to appear and pretend to be bigger......

After raising a glass of "Holy Blood" (red wine) and giving thanks to the Lord, Julius II praised Marin, Count of East Friesland, who had "borrowed" soldiers to protect his safe return to Rome, and solemnly introduced the noble Christian, a good friend of the Holy See (and his hairy son-in-law), the Count of Marin.

Marin immediately threw away the sacrament and blood in his hand, and immediately threw himself in front of the great pope's father-in-law, and performed the highest etiquette - kissing the feet.

This action, in the eyes of later generations, is very much like kneeling and licking. However, in this era, it is a kind of etiquette. Kissing the Pope's shoes is the prerogative of the great nobles, even kings and emperors. Ordinary civilians, if they want to kneel and lick, they are not qualified......

The Pope is willing to let you kneel and lick, that is worthy of you......

After kneeling and licking his father-in-law, Ma Lin pondered for a while, holding back a few tears before raising his head, letting people see the "excitement" on his face......

Then, Marin moved out of the set of fooling rhetoric back then and started the "big fool" mode:

"I, Marlin. Feng. Hoffman, a little lord who has felt God's blessings. Here, I would like to pay my highest tribute to His Majesty the Great Pope, God's spokesman on earth! ”

"For all of you, there may be people who know me well. I, Marlin. Feng. Hoffman, until he was 16 years old, was only the second son of a poor knight family, a wandering knight who was kicked out of the family at the age of 16......"

"Before I was 16 years old, I was useless, and I couldn't beat my brother by force. On wisdom, I am not afraid of everyone's jokes. When I went to Vienna with 10 gold coins to join His Majesty the Emperor, I was cheated out of all my money on the way, and I had no money to eat or live in a hotel......"

The guests laughed, and many looked at Maximilian I, who was sitting in the guest of honor. Maximilian I probably knew what Marin was trying to say. He also heard about the content of Marin's speech at the enthronement ceremony afterwards, which was very wonderful and demagogic......

"I couldn't afford to live in a hotel, I couldn't afford to eat, so I slept in the haystack behind the church, shivering, and almost dying of hunger. But even in that simple case, I did not forget the teachings of the Lord, and did not incarnate as a fallen knight to obtain money by robbing houses and houses. ”

"I endured the cold and hunger, huddled in the haystack and shivered, and with the last shred of consciousness in my dying body, I prayed to God to save me, a lost child......"

The surrounding nobles looked at it in surprise, most of them didn't know that Marin, a man who was qualified to kneel and lick the Pope, actually had such a down-and-out past, and had the courage to say it out loud...... Ordinary aristocrats like to talk about their beautiful past, and never want to mention the down-and-out past......

"I was dying, but God seemed to hear my prayers, and when I was dying, he sent an ascetic and a great sage named 'Einstein' to come to me when I was about to starve to death, when I was about to starve to death......"

"When the Great Sage saw me, he told me that he had been inspired by the Lord to come here and take charge of saving me and teaching me. He gave me a piece of bread, told me it was Holy Communion, let me eat it, and saved my life. Then, Daxian also accepted me as a disciple and taught me knowledge for a month......"

"At the time, I was very strange that I wasn't very smart and I was a slow learner. However, Daehyun only taught me for a month, but I felt like I had been learning for 10 years, and I remembered a lot of things as soon as I learned them, which was not at all like me before, I used to learn things very slowly and stupidly. Otherwise, you won't be cheated out of the 10 gold coins......"

"In this way, after a month of studying, I suddenly became wiser, as if I was shrouded in the light of wisdom......"

It seems to me that there is only one possibility for such a miracle - and that is the gift of the Lord! Otherwise, it doesn't get any more reasonable than this......"

"Because they have become wiser, or they have been blessed by God. So, after I ran to Vienna, I easily gained the appreciation of His Majesty the Emperor, and was appointed acting chief of the phalanx from a mere wandering knight at once......"

"The rest of the story, probably a lot of people have heard. I took my men and horses with me and fought in the Italian War. On that day, as if by God's guidance, I was ordered to take my headquarters to support the Italians. ”

"But, in the haze, I seemed to be guided by God, as if I had been told that on the night of July 6, 1494, the French would retreat from a certain road. So, according to God's direction, I set up an ambush there, inflicted heavy losses on the French army, and almost captured the king of France......"

"However, it is God who thinks that in my capacity I should not seize the king of France. After all, the king of France is also a monarch who has divine authority. So, the king of France finally ran away. However, many French knights fell into my hands. So, I became a baron......"

"Later, by blood, I became the Earl of East Friesian Land...... All this, I felt like there was a pair of hands pushing me forward. I believe that this is by no means my own skill, but the blessing of the Lord...... Praise you, great Lord! Marin drew a cross on his chest and said reverently.

"The power of the Lord is great and omnipotent!"

"Just a few months ago, while I was touring the East Frisian countryside, I suddenly met His Majesty Julius II on a parade (fleeing). Although His Majesty Julius II was dressed ordinarily at that time, I suddenly felt that the person in front of me was a great man who had been blessed by the Lord. ”

"So, despite being the master of the East Friesian Lambert. But I was so impressed by the imposing momentum of Julius II that I dismounted and saluted him, who had not identified himself at the time. There was even the urge to kiss his boots......"

"At first, I didn't know what was going on. Now, I know. It turned out that I had a premonition that he was going to be the pope......"

To be honest, Marin is not telling this joke that is not a joke, and it is not funny at all. However, everyone gave the new pope face and grinned.

"Later, I don't know what happened. Involuntarily, he sent out his 7,000 soldiers and horses, just to protect the safety of His Majesty Julius II. Now, I understand it—it was the hint of the great Lord that made me make such a choice! ”

"For the man whom I have sent to protect will reign over the world and become God's spokesman on earth!"

"Pap-pa-pa-" It's not the sound of what, it's the sound of everyone applauding. Regardless of whether what Marin said is true or not, people beautify the current pope, and they always have to applaud their face......

After the applause stopped, Julius II stood up with a smile and said:

"No wonder Count Marin didn't ask for a copper coin in commission, so he directly sent 7,000 soldiers and horses to protect me. I thought he was stupid. It is the great will of the Lord! Praise the Lord! ”

"Praise the Lord!" The people in the Great Hall of Lateran followed suit.

When Julius II said this, it actually proved from the side that he was the legitimate pope chosen by the Lord......

On the side, most of the 100 cardinals despised in their hearts - Nimad, if it weren't for the bastards you brought in in the first place to deny Lao Tzu to the toilet, not to give him food, and to kill me, I wouldn't have chosen you as pope......

However, these cardinals will have to mingle in the Holy See in the future, and they will never dare to say it publicly. Moreover, the cardinals of the opposition had actually been disposed of by Julius II. Of the 100 cardinals this time, more than a dozen were substituted on temporary basis......

Finally, in order to reward Marin for his "selfless contribution" to the Holy See and to the Pope, Julius II announced on the spot that Marin was canonized as an honorary knight of Rome......

In this era, Rome was the symbol of the Holy See. The Honorary Knight of Rome is actually the Honorary Knight of the Holy See......

In fact, this show and foreshadowing were all negotiated between Marin and his father-in-law, and the foreshadowing was made for the future award of the Bishopate of Münster by Julius II to Marin. After all, nothing can be done overnight, there must always be a foreshadowing.

Marin was first given the title of Honorary Knight, and then sent his army to conquer the Florentine Republic. When the time comes, Julius II will reward the Bishopric of Münster to Marin, which will not seem so abrupt......
