Ding Yi's Struggle (9)
What Louis XI didn't know was that all three boroughs were facing war. And for the whole of Western Europe, Ding Yi is still brewing a storm that even Yu Qian and Yao Kui don't know, that is: the war of religions.
It is obviously extremely difficult for Taoism and Christianity to be integrated. It's impossible to even live in peace, let alone integrate. Although the Holy See handed over the jurisdiction of the Religious Arbitration Institute, as Zhao Di requested, to Ding Yi's side. In other words, the presiding judge is accountable to the Holy See's canonization of Saint Ding I.
But this presiding arbitrator was not appointed to Isabella at the request of Zhaodi, because she was too young and her influence in the Holy See was not enough to hold this position. So it was assigned to a priest, a priest who mixed badly in the Holy See. It was only because he was unwilling that he was placed in this position.
Being directly accountable to the saints, that is, being outside the Holy See, seems to be promoted, but in fact is exiled.
The priest didn't have any pursuits, and when he saw Ding Yi in Smyrna, he saluted and said very directly: "Your Majesty, please give me your will." That is, Ding Yi will do whatever he wants him to do, thinking that it is also the nature of coming to provide for the elderly.
However, Isabella was not discouraged, she led the Taoist priests and began to secretly fuse the scriptures.
It is to make a new scripture out of a far-fetched combination of the Tao Te Ching and the Bible.
It's probably just one gas and three purifications, corresponding to the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit, and then filling it in.
Ding laughed at first, because in his opinion, it was not as convenient as directly getting the yellow scarf of the late Han Dynasty.
There are also many poor people in the West, really purely in terms of coercion. We are not afraid of not having a mass base.
However, when Isabella made it to the second edition, Ding Yi was quite surprised. Encourage her to keep making it up. Because it's getting more and more serious. Because it actually comes to "God" and the Hebrew word Elohim is plural, if it is said. This is the Trinity of God, so isn't it also in line with this concept that one qi is transformed into three purifications?
"I don't know what you're going to come up with in the end, my knight." Ding Yi laughed and put down the scriptures Isabella had made up.
But Isabella hesitated, as if she wanted to say but didn't dare to say it, and only after Ding's repeated encouragement did she speak: "Your Majesty, my brother." and shall pass his throne to his daughters. Can I get support from you? Yes, I want to be the queen, the queen of Castile. ”
"Nope." Ding Yi shook his head and rejected her statement, walked to the map, stretched out his hand and pointed to the countries of Castille and Aragon, and drew a circle with his finger, "My knight, you can't be the queen of Castile, it's not worth my support for you." Unless you want to be the queen of all of Spain. ”
"Spain?" There was something in Isabella's eyes that ignited something she had never thought about.
Ding nodded and said to her, "Yes." Spain. By now, he had remembered, remembered the unifiers of Spain. It seems to be a queen, is it called Isabella. Ding Yi wasn't so sure, but he was sure. Isabella's becoming queen of Spain was a good thing, at least for the Western Ming Empire.
"Isabella, Master of the Trident Order, Queen Isabella of Spain!" She puffed up her chest and muttered to herself, then nodded, "Your Majesty, I admit that this sounds pretty good!" "The Trident is the Trident, the weapon used by the legendary Emperor Poseidon.
Ding Yi played with the black glazed porcelain cup in his hand and said with a smile: "You should put the queen in front, my knight." ”
"No, Your Majesty, Isabella will always be your most loyal knight!" She saluted Ding and said this very seriously.
Either way, at least for the moment, she was loyal.
"Okay, huh." Ding Yi laughed, put down the cup in his hand, and asked her with interest, "So, what are you going to do now?" I can get the forces of Rhodes to support you, fight back to Castile, and take Aragon. You know, Governor Du of the Mediterranean Military District, has never let me down, and this time will not be an exception. ”
But Isabella unexpectedly refused: "No, Your Majesty." With your permission, I would like to be able to claim the Spanish crown myself. Just use it. She said, picking up the book that was being rewritten, and picking up the other book, "And it." ”
The second book, a pamphlet written by Ding Yi, is called "The Republican Manifesto", and in fact, he shamelessly became a copyist again: "A ghost, the specter of communism, hovers in Europe. One of the qiē powers of old Europe, the Pope and the King of France, the Ottoman Caliph and the monarch of England, and the Holy Rome, all formed a holy alliance to exorcise this spectre. ”
Isabella held these two books to her chest: "Maybe people don't believe in the new scriptures, but the people at the bottom will join the republican organization; If the nobles would not join the republican organization, then they could follow the new sect. ”
"I feel like you have to make a choice, between the two." Ding Yi put forward his own opinion.
"Your energy is limited, you can't fight on two fronts, and you definitely shouldn't fight on two fronts. That is why I have not yet waged war in the Mediterranean and Asia Minor. If you are fighting on two fronts, when there are variables that are beyond your plan, the one you have conceived is like a castle on the beach. ”
These words made Isabella fall into deep thought, she admired Tinyi, but she was not the Mary of Burgundy, she had her own mind.
In the end, she replied to Ding Yi: "Then, I choose it." She put down the copy of the Republican Declaration.
This did not surprise Ding Yi, because if she followed the republican declaration, then in the end, as the queen, she was only a symbol of the country, and could not really control the whole country. She adores Ding Yi, but she is not Ding Yi.
Isabella was sober: "If I'm like Marguerite of Anjou, then choose it," she said, referring to the Republican Declaration, "it would be a little more certain, but I'm not in as bad a situation as she is." So I don't have to choose this path where I'm going to lose a lot of things. ”
"Margaret has no way out, and I still have nobles who support me, and there are not a few. So I don't have to risk becoming Tiberius. Sempronius. Gracchus II. She was frank that Gracchus was a Roman politician, and that his political ideas were to divide the extra land of the nobles and landlords among the commoners, and to deprive them of the privileges of going to the Senate—from this point of view, there were many similarities with the republican organization that Ding Yi was manipulating—and, importantly, that Gracchus touched the interests of the Senate and the aristocracy, and was finally killed by the conservative aristocracy.
"I will support you as much as Margaret." Ding Yi also made a statement, "But you also need to pay a price." ”
"That's what I'm hoping for, Your Majesty." She blushed, knelt in front of Ding Yi's feet, and kissed Ding Yi's boots, "It's Isabella's honor." ”
Ding Yi was so frightened that he hurriedly helped her up: "What are you talking about?" I mean, weapons and equipment, you have to go to Castile to raise money to buy them, and if you need a larger amount, maybe after you become the true queen, you will have to pay for Simin's navy, the port of supply. ”
"Huh?" Her face was almost red and bleeding, and she was a little embarrassed.
Probably because of Ding Yi's support for Margaret, even in the Knights of the Cute Girl, the simple Mary felt red. So Margaret was in front of them many times, implying that she had waited for Ding Yi. She thought it would be a good idea to show Ding Yi how special he cared for her, but in Isabella's eyes, it was a show off. It was her honor to say just now.
The scene was awkward, whether it was Ding Yi or Isabella.
In the end, it was Ding Yi who broke the silence: "My knight, you misunderstood, the relationship between me and Margaret is just between adults, and they need each other physiologically, yes, just physiologically." Of course, I admit that this is not very good, and I will pay attention to this aspect later. ”
"Your Majesty, Isabella is also an adult woman." She plucked up her courage.
Dante is not a who pounces on a woman when he sees it, in fact, at his level, if he is still stuck to this level, it is not an ordinary failure: "No, my knight, you will always be a naughty little girl in my heart." Ding Yi kissed her forehead, and some of them were just the feelings of the elders for the younger ones, and they had nothing to do with love or sensuality.
"As you wish, Your Majesty, Isabella will never disobey your will." Tears welled up in her eyes, but she didn't wipe them away, she saluted Ding, and then looked up as she withdrew, saying, "Let the future of Spain have a virgin queen, Great Majesty." ”
This made Ding Yi have a headache, and Cao Jixiang whispered on the side: "Your Majesty, this Isabella is much more beautiful than Princess Anna." Or it should be said that it is more in line with the aesthetics of Huaxia, and it will be more appropriate, "It is better to also be included in the harem ......"
"Palace fans are tired of wearing delicate foreheads, and heavy makeup should be pressed autumn flowers." Ding Yi picked up a sentence of Xin Qiji's words for no reason.
"The word of abandoning illness, I still prefer 'Dancing Pavilion and Song Stage, the wind is always blown away, the rain and the wind blow', Lao Cao, income in the harem? Then there is no need for rain and wind to blow, the foundation we have laid in the past few years will melt in a moment. Ding Yi shook his head and diverted the topic, "How is Margaret's side?" ”
"She was determined to start the building of a republican organization in England and was ready to leave Lancaster behind altogether."
Ding nodded: "Give Chu Jiu an order, if Britain is on fire, the Paris Commune will be established, if Margaret has the confidence to abandon the Lancaster family, then this is not just her war, but ours!" (To be continued......)
