Chapter 0808. Support the Holy See
It was indeed the order that Li Jie left to Liu Renliang to contact the Holy See. Chasing the reckless wasteland, you have to be quick. This article was written by...... First release, latest chapter access:.
Hearing the invitation of the Min Kingdom, the other party did give face, and the Pope personally arrived in the Min Kingdom and came to meet the King of Min with full sincerity.
However, Li Jie released the other party's pigeon in a very stylish manner, took a look at his face, and threw a back in a chic manner, so that the dignified Bishop of Rome and the Christian Pope almost vomited blood.
It's a pity that he has to endure such a powerless act, who makes the country of Fujian strong now, and the Holy See has to ask for it?
However, the tenacious will and indomitable spirit of the early Christians were "revealed" by the old man Eugene, and for the next half a month of growing up, Eugene and his bishopric have been guarding in front of the Grand Palace of 'Bosse', even if the heat reaches more than 30 degrees during the day, even if the mosquitoes fly at night, these people are just a bottle of water and a dry cake.
Whenever Li Jie left the palace, Eugene I, an old man, worked tirelessly to follow the carriage, constantly instilling in Li Jie the concept of Christianity, narrating theology, miracles and God's oracles.
In the past few days, it is rare that the She people's guild has a big deal in 'Bo' Sis, and Li Jie also wants to take this opportunity to have a good time with his mistress, Mrs. Zhong, the shopkeeper of She, and then have a good song of red sorghum, but there is such an old man who follows him every day, and he is tired of 'getting'.
In the end, the angry Li Jie simply used the views of later Protestants, Lutherans and others to question the opposing sects of Catholicism sharply questioned Eugene I, but it was also effective, and every time the old man was 'messy' with his beard and roared and went back to turn over the Bible for a long time.
But a day later, this old man will come back with a fierce fighting force, come up with his new point of view, pull Li Jie to debate theology, and even follow Li Jie when he goes to the toilet.
Li Jie has studied too much theology, so that this old man who is as stubborn as a dog's skin plaster 'medicine' is 'forced' to have one head and two big.
In half a month, the second meeting of the King of Min to summon the Pope had to be held again in the main hall of the Grand Palace.
Compared with half a month ago, although he was still wearing a grand black 'colored' dragon robe, wearing a crown with coral tortoiseshell, and a pair of imperial majesty, but behind the crown hanging, Li Jie's face was full of malaise and helplessness, and he was quite angry and gritted his teeth and stared downward.
Compared with the last meeting, Pope Eugene I smiled a little more confidently, although he was still dressed in tattered clothes, but there was a faint smell of a saint who was 'revealed' in his opinion, this stubborn pagan king had been touched by God's revelation like Constantine the Great. [See the latest chapter of the book]
Compared with the last time they met, this time Eugene I was also infected with a bit of oriental subtlety, and the ceremonial one owed a slight owe, and greeted him in the newly learned Tang language: "The Bishop of Rome, the Metropolitan of the Roman Province, the Patriarch of the West, and the successor of St. Peter greet His Majesty the King of Min."
"Excuse me."
Li Jie waved his hand rather depressedly.
It's not that I'm infected by the revelation of God in Eugene I, but I have seen the multiverse and time matter in Einstein's special theory of relativity, so that Li Jie can believe in any god again, it's really difficult, and I met again, on the one hand, Li Jie is annoyed, and on the other hand, Li Jie is also 'forced' to do it.
Under the rule of the Min State, there was freedom of belief and fair competition among all denominations, but in the past half month, more than a dozen bishops brought by Eugene I braved the cold and heat, and kept the kind of 'spirit' spirit day and night, which really attracted many people.
Many Zoroastrians, Muslims, and Hindus have converted to Islam.
Although 'Bo' Sisi will not be the capital of Fujian, it is also the capital of the Iranian Governorate and one of the important ruling bases.
Therefore, Li Jie, who was helpless, had no choice but to summon this evil star he had attracted quickly and send him away as soon as possible.
"Your Majesty, King Min, you have been thinking about it for many days, and God's grace is at hand, are you willing to be baptized and baptized?"
Full of confidence, Eugene I asked again in his stiff Tang language, but unfortunately, this time, as always, it was Li Jie's head.
"Lone is the Son of Heaven, who only believes in God, will not be baptized into any religion, and Fujian has freedom of belief, and Fujian will not declare any religion as the state religion, Fujian only believes in the moral etiquette handed down by the ancestors, and Confucianism will always be the foundation of Fujian and cannot be changed."
A series of neat refusal to listen to Eugene I was disappointed again, and hung down his pale head in silence, this scene was a little unbearable to see Xiao Sheng, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites who had been with him for half a month, but fortunately, Li Jie's tone turned around, and gave Eugene I hope again.
"But Lone is willing to support the Holy See and help Rome."
"Your Majesty, no!"
Without waiting for Li Jie to finish speaking, Lao Xiao Sheng had already taken the lead in standing up anxiously, holding the wat board and bending over, in the past two days, he finally knew where the Great Qin of the West was, and he also knew that the great shaman of mules and horses and the patriarch of Constantinople were the same thing, and Rome was far away from Fujian.
Separated by the Arab Empire, the Byzantine Empire, and the Fujian State wants to send troops to Rome, the difficulty is really difficult to compare, and the supply line from thousands of miles away is already impossible for this era of cold weapons.
"Your Majesty, Rome, the country on the edge of the sky, if you send troops to do this, the salary will be incalculable, and it will be useless, and it will waste national strength in vain, think twice about Your Majesty."
"How can Lord Xiao say that, God is supreme, fighting for God is to add infinite merits, the holy warriors all talk about ascending to heaven, and King Min will also add countless merits, how can it be said that it is useless work?" Suddenly, the Roman pope was also anxious, Tang was mixed with Latin, and he was dancing to reason with Xiao Sheng, seeing this scene, Li Jie hurriedly waved his hand with a headache.
"Stop! This lonely has his own considerations, Xiao Qing doesn't need to say more, under the crown of the Pope, Lone's support for the Holy See is not given in vain, Lone has a few conditions you must agree, first of all, the appointment and dismissal of Christian bishops in Fujian must be decided by the Fujian government at its own discretion, and this Holy See cannot 'interfere'! ”
If you want to 'intervene', you can't 'intervene', the prestige of the Holy See is now gathered in Western Europe, and the greater influence on the East is the Orthodox Patriarch of Constantinople, in this regard, Eugene I nodded very singlely.
"As you wish."
"The second point is that Lone supports the Holy See, but the succession of the Pope must be approved by Lone and Lone's heirs, that is, the Pope can only be crowned by the Min State!"
Li Jie's second request immediately made Eugene I's face change drastically, this request, the Holy See is equivalent to 'handing' itself from the Eastern Roman Empire to the hands of Fujian, just a change of master, Eugene came all the way to the East, what he pursued is not this.
The old man's face changed violently, Eugene couldn't help but hang his head, he didn't agree or refuse for a while, but Li Jie didn't care about him, and continued to talk about his request again.
"In addition, Lone has decided to establish the Holy Roman Empire in Western Europe, and the Holy See must proclaim to the major barbarians to whom Western Europe belongs, and they must recognize the suzerainty of the Min State!"
"Absolutely not!"
Before the Latin translation could finish speaking, Eugene I had already shook his head with a pale face and refused: "Even if as the Pope, I promise, the Holy See will never be able to do it, Your Majesty, please retract the order."
Of course, this paragraph was said in Latin, but after listening to the translation into Tang, Li Jie shook his head with a smile.
"Don't be in a hurry to refuse, listen to the support given by Lone."
"The Lone Society will form an expeditionary force in his own name to fight in Italy, don't underestimate Lone's strength, I give an order, this expeditionary force will not be less than 50,000, and it will be permanently stationed in Italy to defend the majesty of the Holy See."
The reason why the Holy See is so important in Italy is because of the chaotic medieval "chaos", the Holy See used its charity to care for the people of the Apennine Peninsula, the original Holy See was completely in turmoil and was pushed to the forefront, if there is an army of 50,000 people to defend, the precarious situation in Italy will turn from dangerous to safe, so that the Holy See can survive, which is a matter of life and death.
Still, Eugene I did not nod.
"The second point, the Fujian State promised to the Italian trade, the lonely Xiangguo, the Governor Liu Renliang sent a message, the Suez Canal has been opened, and when you come, you will go to the 'Bo' Bay, right?" As many merchant ships as there are in the Bay of Bo's, how many merchant ships will moth in the ports of the Italian peninsula! ”
Regardless of the fact that Eugene I was the Pope, he was equally clear about what wealth meant, and the infamous Crusades launched by the Roman Curia in later generations were also aimed at collecting wealth in the East.
Seeing Eugene's heart-pounding appearance, Li Jie threw out a third olive branch.
"The Italian peninsula, including the Viceroyalty of Ravenna, was canonized to the Holy See in the name of the Min State, and in the future, this territory will be the direct territory of the Pope, the kingdom of the Pope!"
"As you wish, the Holy See is willing to listen to your canonization King Min!"
Before the translation was finished, Eugene I had already raised his cane and screamed excitedly, for fear that Li Jie would change his mind one second later.
Looking at the sweaty appearance of this old man, Li Jie couldn't help but 'show' a victorious smile on his cheeks.
