"Bishop Maurice?" Seeing this person rushing over, Zhao Jia showed an interested expression and said, he has also heard about the performance of this bishop during this time, and judging from Bishop Morris's performance in all aspects, his ambition is also very great, such a person may be of great use to him.

"Let go, let him in!" Zhao Jia waved his hand and said, he wanted to hear what Bishop Morris, who had been talking to Kondla, had something important to say.

Hearing his order, the guards who were blocking immediately drew their knives and let Morris come to Zhao Jia, but at this time, Morris looked around, especially when Pascal II was there, he said with an embarrassed look on his face: "Your Royal Highness, can we find a secluded place to talk?" ”

"Okay, let's go talk to your room!" Zhao Jia seemed to have guessed something, and nodded with a smile, but when he said this, he suddenly thought of something, and immediately turned his head to Condra who was standing next to him and said, "Big brother, do you want to listen to what Bishop Morris has to say?" ”

Condra didn't expect Zhao Jia to call him along, and he was a little flattered at the moment and said: "Okay, okay, I have a good conversation with Bishop Morris during this time, if there is anything important, I can also help the staff!" ”

At that moment, Zhao Jia and Kondra followed Morris to his residence, although this courtyard is not big, but the room is not small, Morris lives in a room alone, when the three of them entered the room, Morris immediately saluted Zhao Jia and said: "Your Royal Highness the Prince, that old guy of the priest is a dead eye, and he will never cooperate with you, but Morris is willing to serve His Royal Highness the Prince, as long as His Royal Highness the Prince is useful to me, Morris will definitely help you do it!" ”

"Oh? Bishop Morris, what do you mean ......," Zhao Jia asked at this time, pretending not to understand. For someone like Morris, all his dignity must be destroyed in order to have complete control over him.

"Your Royal Highness the Prince, I ......" Morris thought that he had understood what he said enough, but he didn't know whether the Royal Highness the Prince in front of him really didn't understand or fake, but he quickly figured it out. On the one hand, they will continue to be imprisoned or even die, and on the other hand, they will completely surrender to the possibility of obtaining a higher status in the future, and it is natural to see how to choose.

Thinking of this, Morris finally gritted his teeth and spoke again: "Your Royal Highness, I know that you need an obedient pope to help you stabilize your rule, I feel that I can be qualified for this role, as long as you are willing to support me as the pope, then whatever you say in the future, I will do what you want." Never dare to have any selfish intentions! ”

Hearing that Morris finally said what was in his heart, Zhao Jia couldn't help but squint at the other party, he wanted to guess whether he was sincere when he said these words through the change in Morris's expression, but he couldn't see anything after watching it for a long time, after all, his life experience was still too little, if it was Zhao Yan, he would definitely see it more clearly, but Zhao Jia felt that Morris's words should be sincere. After all, for him, there is no bargaining chip to negotiate with Zhao Jia.

Morris was furious in his heart when he was looked at by Zhao Jia's eyes. I wonder how His Royal Highness the Prince will react after listening to his words? But just when Morris was nervous in his heart, he suddenly saw Zhao Jia laugh twice, stepped forward and patted Morris on the shoulder and said, "Yes, yes, the princess and I are in need of a talent like Bishop Maurice!" ”

As soon as Zhao Jia's words came out, Morris's eyes immediately lit up, and he reacted very quickly and saluted Zhao Jia again. Then he said with excitement on his face: "Thank you, Your Royal Highness, for your appreciation!" ”

Seeing Morris's happy look, Zhao Jia suddenly shook his head and said: "But don't be happy too early, you want to be the pope, I can help you do this, but you must also agree to my three conditions." Otherwise, I'll have to change someone to support me. ”

"Your Royal Highness the Prince, don't worry, don't say it's three conditions, even if it's thirty conditions, I will agree to all of them!" Morris agreed almost without thinking about it, anyway, he has nothing now, so no matter what the conditions, he thinks it is not a problem, as long as he can become the pope, maybe there will be a chance to turn the tables in the future.

Seeing that Morris was so anxious to agree, Zhao Jia smiled lightly and said: "Don't be in a hurry to agree, my first condition is to ban the Papal States, and the Holy See is not allowed to keep the army, not to collect taxes, and not to allow any priests to interfere in local government affairs, can you do this?" ”

"Huh? This ......" Hearing Zhao Jia's condition, Morris was so frightened that he almost jumped up, and even opened his mouth to refuse, but in the end he didn't dare to say it. Speaking of which, the reason why the Holy See can have its current status is mainly because the Holy See can collect taxes and recruit troops, it can be said that it has money and people, and with these strengths, those priests have the ability to meddle in the government affairs of various places, so as to bring these places into the rule of the Holy See, but Zhao Jia's three are not allowed, they are simply cut above the seven inches of the Holy See, and they do not leave any way for the Holy See to live.

Seeing Morris's stammering expression, Zhao Jia did not stop, but continued to speak: "Compared with the first condition, the second condition is simpler, that is, Catholicism cannot control the missionary power of the Holy Roman Empire alone, and the religion of the Great Song Dynasty must be allowed to spread in Europe in the future, and no one can stop this." And the third condition is to declare the divine right of kings, the pope in the world is not qualified to crown the emperor, and the inheritance of the throne in the future has nothing to do with the Holy See! ”

As soon as Zhao Jia's two conditions came out, Morris's mouth opened wider, he never expected Zhao Jia to put forward three such ruthless conditions, the first one would cut off all the forces of the Holy See, as for the second article to allow other religions to preach, it was digging the foundation of Catholicism, if other religions were really allowed to come in, I am afraid it would not be long before Catholicism would become an ordinary religion, and the third would completely draw a line between the imperial power and the Holy See, and it would also cut off the last bit of privilege of Catholicism. In the future, they will no longer be able to turn over.

Thinking of the above, Morris only felt chills all over his body, if he really agreed to these three conditions, I am afraid that he will be scolded to death by the clergy of the whole Europe, and even in the history of later generations, it is difficult for him to escape the infamy, because it is he who single-handedly ruined the future of the entire Catholic Church, and the thought of this, Morris feels extremely frightened.
