Chapter 51: The Fall of the Monastery
"Who is our Father in heaven who has invaded your kingdom on earth? I beseech you not to reproach them, for I see a flock of lost and ignorant lambs......"
It's a professional joker. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
Dismounted first, Magnus, who was hidden in the crowd, exclaimed.
Just a few words can calm down an angry crowd, which is not something ordinary people can do.
It's the same even if you have a cloak of divine power.
In fact, after the wall was torn down, the agitated peasants had almost vented their anger. After all, they are all people who really live in this age, and they are convinced of the existence of gods and hell, and they rashly intrude into the Lord's dwelling, and none of them can afford this punishment.
And, when the time came, they remembered the bishop.
The bishop never collected any miscellaneous taxes such as firstfruits, Peter's silver coins, etc. (anyway, he could only supply them to the Duke of Brittany, and he could not get a dime); For those peasants who could not pay their tithes, the bishop seldom persecuted them, and was often able to give them a period of time (ibid.); The most important thing is that although the bishop never comes out to preach, he always stays in the monastery, which of course reduces his chances of meeting with the peasants, but it also means that the bishop has never cheated the peasants!
In these years, to have a bishop who does not pit peasants is simply God's eyes, and the angels have come down to earth, not to mention, the monks live in the monastery, this is a manifestation of piety!
Thus, the bishop had some prestige in the eyes of the peasants, and Magnus, when he incited the peasants to the monastery, dared to say that it was a 'question', not an 'arrest'.
If he could be arrested for any reason, he would not have had to go to great lengths to transfer the anger of the people to the monastery.
"Dear Bishop! We don't mean to offend the majesty of the Lord, but rather, we are here because of the Lord's will! It is the Lord who has forced us here, it is the Lord who has made us find, the darling who slanders the Lord, the agent of the Lord on earth, the monk who almost makes the pious make a great mistake! ”
In order to be able to investigate (rob) the monastery, and never let the anger of the peasants disappear, Alphonse stepped forward in a moment of crisis.
Well, Magnus is a secular nobleman, and he is doing this to trigger a confrontation between divine power and royal power, which is not appropriate, Odegar does not know Breton language, so at this time, he can only let Alphonse go.
Luckily, Alphonse is really in charge.
The phrase 'the will of the Lord' on the left and 'the darling of the Lord' on the right completely blinded the peasants, and every word and sentence reminded them all the time that the purpose of their coming here was not to make peace with the bishop, but to use violence, to make the liar pay the price of blood before he would give up!
On the other side, the bishop who should have opened his mouth to refute was frightened by Alphonse's inferior exit, and his lips twitched twice, but he couldn't say a word.
The Lord's intercessor on earth......
Are these people all crazy?!
There is only one agent of the Lord on earth, there is only one today, only one tomorrow, and only one in the future, and that is the Patriarch of the World, His Majesty the Pope, who sits in the eternal city of Rome, holds the authority of God and achieves the will of Heaven in the body of man!
These people, they even think of a priest of the wilderness as a pope?
Knocked down by the ridiculous facts, the bishop was even confused for a while, forcibly pressed by the strength of the wine in his brain, and his hands and feet trembled up and down uncontrollably, and the scene was like a stroke.
Alphonse wasn't going to let go of this opportunity.
"Look!" He pointed his finger at the bishop and said to the peasants behind him: "The Lord says, whoever turns his back on me will be punished." He has been punished now, which shows that the Lord has our back! Our cause is just! ”
Our cause is just!
At that time, Magnus, who heard Alphonse shouting these words, choked in his trachea without taking a breath, and was almost about to go down in history.
-- As the first person in human history to be choked to death in one breath.
But the peasants, they and Magnus reacted very differently.
They're excited, they're excited, no, they're fanatical. Their faces were as if they had drunk too much wine, and they danced as if they had drunk too much medicine - only God and God knew what state they were in - in short, each of them was ready, like an athlete on the track, just waiting for the referee to give the order.
And this referee is naturally Alphonse.
He took the lead, and then the peasants followed, and the crowd turned into a raging wave again, and this time, whoever stood in their way could not make them stop again, even if they threatened with the snow blades, and they had to give the soldiers a taste of the waves.
In the midst of this wave, there is only one place where there is peace, and that is where the bishop is.
It's just that the bishop cannot, can't, and can't, and he can't do anything about it, he can't stop the tide.
The high walls of the monastery were torn down at the beginning.
In fact, the bishop is now thinking about more practical things, such as how to get himself out of it.
The letter brought by the Count of Brest through the messenger (Kurt) was now pressed under the desk in his desk! In that letter, the Count's plan, the things he was required to do to ruin the reputation of men, and the conditions that were prescribed to him, one by one, each in black and white, clear!
Although it is true that the average peasant is illiterate, since everyone has found this, can they still find two literate people to help read the letter?
Actually, the bishop was not bad at all.
Since Kurt wants to jump back, he must be fully prepared, even if the bishop burns the earl's letter and throws it away, he still has a backup there, and the family crest and family badge on the letter are all complete, even if he asks the Count of Brest to come by himself, he can't find any trace of disguise.
Because that's all true.
It was not difficult to do this, and the Count was illiterate—it was normal for the king to be illiterate these days—and the letters were written by Coat. He wrote two copies publicly, and the reason he used was also very legitimate: if something happened along the way and the letter was lost, then he had to go back and write another copy, isn't it a waste of time?
The Count felt that this reason was not excessive, and that it was not difficult to engrave a seal, so he easily engraved both copies.
And now is the time for him to eat the bitter fruit.
When Alphonse came out with the letter, the peasants still didn't believe it, but when the priest, who was holding a steel knife to his neck, read out the letter word by word with a trembling voice, the peasants' anger accumulated little by little, and when the letter was finished, the anger was as unstoppable as a volcanic eruption.
"Burn him!"
"Liar! Coward! Devil! Sinner! ”
"We will pay the penalty for his sins with his blood!"
The physical evidence is accurate, and the trembling priest can also prove that a few days ago, an unknown monk had a secret conversation with the bishop, and the fact is already obvious that all these dark plots were made up by the bishop!
Moreover, this conclusion was deduced by the farmers themselves, logically, with clear conditions, and they were convinced of this result.
So they naturally vented their anger on the bishop.
Of course, the Earl of Brest was also responsible for the plot, but the Count was far away, but the Bishop was in their hands.
The monk who spread rumors? Please, the first evil has been caught, who should pay attention to the unknown little minions?
In fact, if Alphonse hadn't seen the opportunity quickly, he quickly asked the soldiers around him to form a human wall, form a circle, and block the peasants outside, and maybe there would have been several stampedes.
Even so, when Magnus felt that the time was almost up, mounted his horse, and made the appearance that he had just arrived, he could not recognize the poor man.
The nose is blue and the face is swollen, this is still a good look.
Unconscious, dying, the countless black footprints on his white robe stand out - most of them were left behind by the soldiers who 'protected' him, and by virtue of their privileges, these soldiers were the hardest.
"Give him a good time."
Seeing this, Magnus could only shake his head.
He originally wanted to torture the bishop to see if there was a secret treasure room in the monastery, but seeing that the bishop was like this, he couldn't be saved, and there was only pain left in his life, so it was better to let him be freed as soon as possible.
As for the dead, hmph, since coming to this era, Magnus has killed no less than ten with his own hands, and countless more have died because of him, including many old people and children, dead people, who have long been used to it.
So, the 'cold-blooded' Magnus, ignoring yet another poor man who had died because of him, turned his horse's head and shouted to the raging crowd:
"The will of the Lord has come to this land, and the evil has been punished! All those who have done justice will be rewarded, and when they die, there will be an archangel, with open arms, waiting to greet his soul! ”
Bragging and not paying taxes.
Therefore Magnus blew hard, a man is dead and he can neither open his eyes nor speak, Magnus said that he went to heaven, then he went to heaven, and he had to go to heaven if he didn't go up!
The crowd burst into cheers.
blatantly toppled the monastery, and killed people, and even a few unsophisticated people took advantage of the chaos to stuff chickens and ducks into their clothes, such a thing worth bragging about for a lifetime, and in the end, they could even go to heaven!
O Lord! You are so gracious!
Seeing the crowd jubilant, Magnus hurriedly hit the railway while it was hot:
"Moreover, God's favorite has given the first oracle. The Lord said that only the pure can go to heaven. How can a person whose flesh is dirty ensure the purity of his soul? Therefore, we must ensure the purity of not only the soul, but also the purity of the body, so all of you have to go to the bath! ”
…… Excuse me, what are you talking about, can you say it again???
