82_82988The Holy See can extend its tentacles to the entire European continent, dominate the soul beliefs of hundreds of millions of people, and even control the abolition of the British king, the French king, and the Holy Roman Emperor. YaNkuai

On the other hand, it has nothing to do with the strength of the Holy See itself, entrenched in northern Italy, although the Holy See has only a few thousand troops, it is the largest seminary base in the entire West, and bishops and priests from all over the country have to go to Rome for pilgrimage and further study, and Rome sends clergy throughout the entire Western continent.

It is these priests who preside over baptisms, take Christian names, birth and funeral rites, and even heal and save people, which constitute the unparalleled influence of the Holy See.

The beginning of this influence stemmed from the establishment of the Papal States, which gave the Holy See sufficient resources to build this empire of faith.

Don't think that the pope is so far away, the early popes were willing to put down their bodies for the development of the Holy See, without Li Jie's normal history, in 751 AD, in exchange for the support of the Frankish kingdom, Pope Zacarias did not hesitate to go to the Franks, which were considered barbarian lands, to meet with the Merovingian palace minister Peping.

Relying on the influence of the Holy See, Zacharias granted Pepin the right to rule the Franks, deposed the last king of the Merovingian dynasty, and established the Carolingian dynasty.

The Papal States were thus formed, and at the same time there was a precedent for the Pope to crown secular monarchs in the name of God, and future European monarchs had to turn to the Pope in order to achieve legitimacy.

This is the famous Piping dedication in history, but in this time and space, Piping has no chance to carry the Holy See to a higher level like this, because Li Jie is a hundred years earlier than him.

The earliest Christianity originated in the East, and the strong vitality of Christianity spread westward to the British Isles, Spain, and eastward to Persia and the Tang Dynasty.

On this day, it became a holy day among the Christians of Bosis, and the main road where the largest St. Skiles Cathedral was located was filled with Christians watching the service, and the Christians from the city, the nearby villages, and even the farthest Christians from Tianzhu would gather here, with black eyes, blue eyes, high noses, low noses, and Christians speaking different languages singing hymns with the same zeal.

Even if they couldn't see it at all, in the fluttering singing, these devout Christians still looked inward with their feet in anticipation.

Despite being a Christian church, it is located in the East, and it is still influenced by the Persian architectural style, with earthy yellow walls in a square shape and towering onion towers above it, which would make people think that it is a mosque if not for the cross.

Inside the church, it is no different from most churches, a place with an offering table and incense table is the place where the priest leads the believers in prayer and holds mass, and the painted mosaics of Christ, the Virgin and the angels are kindly gathered on the three walls of the shrine, watching his believers vividly.

Below, there are large empty seats, where worshippers gather to pray, but today, the simple faithful have disappeared and have been replaced by large groups of brightly dressed religious leaders.

Not only the Christian cardinals in red silk vestments and shoulder robes, but also Islamic imams in Arab robes and turbans, Zoroastrian priests in long lankyas and stargazing tools, and even Brahmin monks with shaved heads and red mesh robes.

They all came to watch the ceremony.

Also clapping their hands and chanting hymns, the bishops from Rome lined up on both sides of the church in the newly issued bishopric uniforms of Fujian, and they were extremely excited, as if the scene of Constantine the Great's "Edict of Milan" had reappeared, staring at the spacious passage in the center with tears in their eyes.

It's a new backer.

Dozens of precious whale brain white candles flickered with warm firelight, illuminating the slightly dim inner wall of the church, and in the blessing of everyone, Eugene I held the saint's cane that St. Peter had brought with him, and the saint's cane that St. Peter had used was slowly stepped on the red carpet in the blessing.

Now Eugene I is really a shotgun, and when he arrives, the patched and dusty cardinal's vestment has long since disappeared, and has been replaced by a new papal outfit.

The all-white silk vestment was trimmed with gold edges, and the back hem was dragged out more than three meters long, and it took more than 30 tailors to sew the trim and buttonholes, and the red shoulder robe with gems was covered outside, and a pair of red silk shoes were almost worth the living expenses of Eugene I in the past year.

With the blessing of the chants, Eugene I's aged face became more and more kind, and he frequently bowed his head to the left and right kindly, and walked into the altar of Mass with even steps.

However, on the most important holy platform of Christianity on weekdays, there is now a great pagan standing in earnest, wearing an incomparably majestic and gorgeous golden five-grasping dragon robe, Li Jie stands on the holy platform solemnly, and his young face is also looking down with a kind face.

The passage of dozens of meters was quickly completed, and Eugene I finally ascended to the holy platform, and instead of giving orders to the Pope, the old man's head bowed heavily to Li Jie.

Li Jie was full of smiles, and put the papal crown decorated with red coral beads on the old head of Eugene I, and said calmly: "In the name of King Min and Shahansha of Central Asia, I will hand over this laurel crown and the right to rule the Christians of the world to you."

"May you, with your piety, lead the Christians of the world to do more good deeds for the benefit of the party."

After wearing the crown, Eugene I bowed to Li Jie again.

This worship is not as simple as salutation, which shows that the Holy See is officially subordinate to the Byzantine Empire, and Pope Eugene I accepted Li Jie's canonization.

Regardless of the fact that the Holy See is still limited to the vicinity of the Italian peninsula, its development potential is unparalleled, especially with the support of the Min State behind it, it is estimated that it will not be long before all the monarchs of the great Europa need to worship the Pope in order to obtain the legitimate name of rule, and beg him to crown himself and rule the country in the name of God.

However, the pope needs to be canonized by the king of Min to have a legal identity, and from a legal point of view, then these royal families have to recognize the suzerainty of Fujian.

After the canonization ceremony, Eugene I stood in the shrine again to fulfill his papal duties, shaking the incense burner and leading many bishops to the first Mass, and then slowly walked up to the balcony on the second floor of the church under the envious eyes of other religious leaders, and waved to the believers waiting outside.

Looking at the figure of the Pope, the believers outside immediately cheered like a boiling tide.

Listening to the cheers outside, the corners of Li Jie's mouth couldn't help but smile.

The later generations of Britain, France, Germany, Spain and other Western European powers that have not yet been revealed are destined to become his vassals in China, what British queen, the king of France will have to call his grandfather in front of his portrait when the time comes, thinking of this, Li Jie couldn't help but raise his head and laugh heartily.

Seeing the King of Min laughing happily, the hearts of the group of monks below were even more sour, they had stayed in the Min Kingdom for so long, and they had not seen the King of Min crowned a Dharma King, a high priest or something, and as a result, Eugene, a foreign monk, was canonized as the Pope, and I heard that the Min Kingdom is also preparing large-scale assistance to the Holy See, and our gods are not bad, why can't we bless our disciples and grandchildren to do such a good thing?

In the midst of the great days of Christianity, the spirits of these various denominations began to have their own hearts in mind.

In the next few days, it was another time for Christianity to shine in Fujian, and as a banner, Eugene I began a round-trip tour of the cities of Khorasan, which was greeted by thousands of local Christians who did not come out of the city.

There were even believers who wept excitedly when they saw the Pope, kneeling on the ground and wailing, and after a while, Eugene I was also interesting enough, and always took out a large number of rice, grain, cloth and materials to help the local poor.

When Eugene came, he was poor and had no pants to wear, of course he couldn't take out any materials, everything was actually the Fujian Wangfu behind his back, but Li Jie's cheap was not so easy to get into, Eugene I passed through every place, there were a large number of craftsmen carved a monument in the local area, the King of Min personally named the Roman Pope Eugene came here to give alms and do good, carved a monument to commemorate Yunyun.

There is no evidence for empty words, and the Dragon Boat Festival in later generations, traditional Chinese medicine, Qu Yuan, etc., didn't they let a certain peninsula stick go because of the lack of historical evidence? What if in the future Europeans do not admit it? Li Jie's hand is to shed evidence to see who can play tricks in the future!

However, the other sects don't know the bad intentions of the King of Min, seeing that the Min Kingdom is paying out of their pockets and carving monuments to commemorate it, and their own believers have been robbed so much, don't mention the sour taste in my heart.

Of course, Li Jie's words are definitely true, just when Eugene I was on his national tour, piles of weapons and equipment began to be assembled from various warehouses in Northern Tianzhu and transported to the ports of the Persian Gulf through Xinhan Valley, and at the same time, conscription notices were plastered all over the major cities of Fujian.

In the cold and distant fortress of the Hindu Kush, a group of cavalry rushed out of the vast mountain road and headed straight for Posis on the Iranian plateau......
