Chapter 194: Contradictions intensify
After the end of the Battle of Laughlinber, the nobles of the kingdom were slightly dissatisfied, after all, it was said that one-twentieth of the judgment was given to the church. x updates are the fastest
This undoubtedly distracted their power, but there was no way to do it, although the nobles were dissatisfied, but under the strong propaganda of King Brolin, the nobles said that their resentment was placed on the church, not on the king who signed this contract.
This is the case with the education of the 400 years of the Tskma kingdom, and the policy of resisting the church and the propaganda of dozens of generations of kings have long taken root among the middle and high nobility, and have become towering trees.
The middle and high nobles often told them about the dangers of the Church when they were their heirs, even though they all believed in the Holy Father.
However, he never accepted the church's policy of withdrawing salaries and asking for money from the bottom of the kettle, after all, it was a matter that harmed his own interests, and no one was willing to do it.
Even in William's domain, every month the Manor Court handed over some of the criminals to the church for trial.
Their trial was not at all according to the Code of Mendes, but according to theirs, in any case, either by fire or by hanging.
As a direct result of these crimes, the large amount of property handed over to the church not only lost the authority of the Menders Code, but also undermined the security of the territory.
Most people always want to be judged by the church after serious sins, because they can spend money to exonerate themselves, which has become a magic weapon for the church to accumulate money.
Three months later, not only William, but most of the nobles began to oppose this policy, which was a fatal blow to their authority.
Even their subjects and passing merchants were not particularly afraid of them, because they could always pay for the church to put their names on the trial list, so that they could spend money to exonerate themselves.
William, on the other hand, felt a little familiar with this policy, and after thinking about it, he realized that this was not exactly what the Holy See did in his previous life?
By issuing indulgences, the commoners who were willing to spend money were freed from their crimes, which directly led to irreconcilable contradictions between the secular aristocracy and the church.
William forgot what happened in the end, but he knew that the events had caused a great upheaval, and that the nobility and the nobility of the church had been radicalized.
And the current situation in the Kingdom of Cikma is so similar to the scene at that time, and even many nobles have begun to sanction the monasteries and churches in the territory.
At this time, in the capital of the Kingdom of Tskema, in the city of Brijek, King Brolin was frowning at the report in front of him in his palatial study.
"Finally can't help it?" When he said this, his brow was obviously much more relaxed,
The smile on his face grew brighter, and at that moment, a knock on the door sounded from outside.
"It's me, Your Majesty!" Baron Muyorne's voice rang out outside the door.
"Well, come in!" King Brolin cleaned up the things on the table and said.
"What's the matter? My dear nephew? "King Brolin sat on a chair and wore a rich red and orange robe, which at first glance was very valuable.
Baron Mu Youen, with respect and admiration in his eyes, said respectfully: "That's your majesty, the nobles in the country can't help but attack the church, and today there was a nobleman in the royal capital who was dissatisfied with the church for destroying his authority in his territory after being drunk, and killed a monk on the street." ”
"And that monk is a student of Bishop Sades, and now Bishop Sades, in a fit of rage, wants to see you, and he threatens to make that nobleman look good!"
Listening to this incident, King Brolin showed a meaningful smile on his face, subconsciously touched his smooth chin, and said with a smile: "Okay, I know, if it's okay, let's go down first!" ”
"But?" Baron Muyeune hesitated a little: "Now that Bishop Sades is coming to you, I think this matter is very serious!" ”
Bishop Sadess is the bishop of the diocese of the Kingdom of Tskema, and since the Church's influence in the kingdom is not too great, his behavior is not arrogant on weekdays.
Even among the bishops of the Church, his rights are not on the list, after all, the Pope does not manipulate everything.
They usually have a lot of freedom in their behavior, so this is the time to look at the power of the church in various countries.
And in a country like the Kingdom of Tskema, the power of the church is not great, and the power of the bishop of Sades, of course, is not great, and even some counts can despise him.
Such a situation is simply unimaginable in the kingdom of Riborn, where the Pope has even greater power than the king.
"Okay, I know, I'll deal with this matter, you go down first!" King Brolin smiled slightly, and said kindly.
After all, he is his own nephew, and his father also died young for himself, and he has been raised for many years, so King Brolin's attitude towards Baron Muyeune is not very different from that towards his son.
"That'...... Okay, then I'll go out first! He bowed, then withdrew from the room.
A moment later, Bishop Sades angrily pushed the door open and walked in.
Seeing that Bishop Sades was in this attitude, King Brolin was immediately displeased, sneered, and then said in a stiff tone: "Is there anything important?" Bishop Sades, treat my door like this! ”
Bishop Saders saw that King Brolin's attitude was not too good, and his attitude softened at that time, after all, he was used to being wronged in the Kingdom of Tskema.
"I'm sorry, Your Majesty, but I'm just a little angry at the indeity of the nobles in the kingdom!" Bishop Sades hastened to apologize.
"Oh? What makes you think that the nobles of the kingdom are not devout enough towards the Holy Father? King Brolin sat on a chair made of precious wood.
With his hands on the table, his left hand stroking the ring set with precious gems he was wearing on his right hand, and he said knowingly.
"Such a respectable king!" Bishop Sades repeated the story to King Brolin.
"And that barbarian nobleman who offended the dignity of the servant of the Holy Father has been taken into custody by us, and I hope that Your Majesty will give the Church a fair and just account."
"Hmph......" King Brolin didn't face him, didn't even give him a seat, looked down at the ring on his hand, and played with it gently.
Bishop Sades looked at King Brolin's appearance and knew that King Brolin would not give him an explanation, but for the sake of the church's hard-won benefits in the kingdom of Tskema, he planned to offend King Brolin once.
"Your Majesty, on behalf of the Church's servants of the Holy Father, Your Majesty, I ask you to give us a box of fair treatment!"
"Huh...... Fair treatment, huh? King Brolin sneered, "Are you fair?" Haven't you already arrested people? Now come and ask me for a fair deal? ”
