Chapter 160: Coronation and Departure
Canonization Ceremony
At the end of May, Paris is at its best, with the best natural scenery, flowers blooming all over the streets, and the pleasant weather is accompanied by the scorching spring sun, red grass and green, so that the spring light shines. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
Today's Paris is very tidy, the streets are covered with loess mats, the carpet made of blood-red velvet brocade is still covered from the city gate to the castle gate, and the troops of King Richard the Lionheart isolate the crowds on both sides of the road from stepping on the red carpet.
Today's city gate is very lively, there are constantly coming to watch the ceremony ~ ministers of other countries, and even the carpet at the entrance to the city is worn out, and the envoys of other countries who participate in the ceremony are required to bring only three or less entourage, so that the envoys of the principality of Boguo will also fill the Paris post house.
Except for the slow arrival from afar, the rest of the arrivals were generally the first day, and after Wang Jian roughly established the time of the canonization ceremony, in order to prevent accidents, he issued invitations according to the distance to ensure that they generally arrived on these two days.
This setting is deliberate, that is, to avoid any accidents, of course he doesn't want to be forced into a group at the canonization ceremony, that is what they absolutely don't want to see, but fortunately, it is still very successful at this time.
When all the people had arrived, and the entourage was ready, they were going to the church on the island to pay their respects, but when all the nobles were ready to gather at the main entrance of the palace and prepare to go to the Notre Dame Cathedral under construction in the northeast corner of the city outside the palace, the situation happened again.
The king's chariot did not go by the usual route, and they did not go northeast when they left the main gate of the palace, but walked south for a while, and then began to turn west, and went straight out of the city of Paris and continued westward.
After their departure, the king's army began to purge the city of Paris of ridiculous ambushes, and to sweep away those who tried to cause unrest and assassination, and the king's procession, accompanied by these emissaries and the great French nobles, went to the Roman Cathedral of Chartres in the town of Chartres.
As soon as this move fell, Richard the Lionheart looked at several French nobles led by the Count of Champagne whose faces had turned pale after leaving the city, and couldn't help but laugh in his heart that these fools played politics with an iron-fisted military leader, and they deserved to be crushed to death.
It took more than three hours for the army to set out from Paris at half past eight o'clock, and it was not until near twelve o'clock at noon that it arrived outside the town of Chartres, an ancient city in Roman times, and at this time, those nobles who had already accepted their fate found that the cardinal knights who had disappeared in Paris for a long time gathered and waited.
That's when they really realized that it was all planned. Whether it is military strength or political acumen, they have lost completely, and indeed they have to admit defeat. Things have come to this point, and anyone understands that today's coronation is inevitable.
No matter how hard they tried to wreak havoc, it was pointless in the current situation. That's the power of crushing. And what made them even more disgusted happened, the papal knights, who were originally only loyal to God and not to the king, actually knelt down and saluted King Lionheart in unison.
Before the crowd of onlookers could react, the knights got out of the way and welcomed the king into the little old city, and when they did get to the outside of the cathedral, they found the archbishop who had been missing all along, standing in front of the church in disguise.
At this time, everyone knew that the ceremony was about to begin, and the time for the testimony had arrived......
The king simply welcomed the king into the interior of the church. After the audience was seated according to the arrangement, and the whole church was ready, the canonization ceremony of the new king of France officially began under the simple auspices of the king.
At this time, the canonization ceremony was completely under the control of Wang Jian, and the town was filled with all of Wang Jian's men and troops led by the Count of Nottington, who had finally advanced to the conquest of France near Paris.
This town, and the three surrounding towns, have been built like iron barrels, and it is impossible for an enemy army to operate around it. After passing through the clear fields, there will never be a place to supply the enemy army within two days' journey.
This was also designed by Wang Jian to ensure that none of these possible enemies posed a threat, and even the army that set out from the Duchy of Normandy had already completed the conquest of parts of France.
Perhaps after this canonization ceremony, France will be completely renamed, and the Capetian dynasty will be ended. When everyone is ready. The king went to the front of the stage, removed his armor, and laid his chest before the cross.
Wang Jian dressed up and walked opposite the king, the priest beside him held the balm oil composed of vegetable oils and spices, and Wang Jian reached out and dipped it on King Richard's forehead, chest, back and other places to anoint it, indicating that he had truly become the king of France.
The Duke of Burgundy, the Duke of Aquitaine, and the Duke of Anjou could only sit down and watch resentfully, and if they wanted to compete in strength, the three of them could fight against King Richard I of England, who occupied half of the territory of France.
But now they can only sit down and watch in such a peaceful manner, nothing can be done, they have actually received a secret report, their territory has been completely controlled or surrounded by the British king's army, for their own safety can only order their men to stand still.
Wang Jian and King Richard just took a head start. At this time, the French royal family was still trapped on the inner island, just like the previous two hundred years of the Capetian Dynasty, which was also the forced end of the noble king Philip II, otherwise it would be impossible for the king to control France so easily and let Richard I succeed him in another ten years.
In the angry eyes of the Grand Duke of Sanli and many ambitious guys. The king had completed the anointing and declared that he had given all the lands of France, its debts and taxes, to Richard I, on behalf of the Holy Spirit of the Father and the Son, and crowned King Richard as King of France.
At the end of the ceremony, the king simply gave him a scepter representing power, and the coronation ceremony was completely over, and Richard I became the new king of France under the witness of God. Those present were reminded that it was lawful and just for them to be crowned under the protection of the gods.
After the coronation, the audience was left behind by the new King of France to enjoy the feast, and in essence the heirs of the Plantagenet Anjou Empire, the King of France, the King of England, the Duke of Normandy, the Duke of Aguidan, the Count of Paris City, the Count of London...... The British and French co-rulers, who had a series of titles not counting nicknames and titles, left the town after the coronation ceremony.
He threw himself into his own troops, and with them he continued the conquest of the pair of France. After all, in his opinion, if he could not conquer the whole territory of France, he would not be at ease even if he received the coronation ceremony of the Holy See. Without the allegiance of the French nobility, he could not sit on the throne.
His idea was not without reason, after all, his coronation was only a private act of the English bishop, and in essence it was unreasonable for an English bishop to come to France to perform the coronation ceremony for the king of France unless the Holy See allowed it, not to mention that the person who was crowned himself was the king of another country in violation of the law.
According to the rules of the Middle Ages, even the partner of the heir to the throne should have received a complete royal education. However, it is good to have the right to inherit the throne of another kingdom, and it cannot be said that there is no such king who inherits two countries at all, it is really rare.
But such people have one thing in common, that is, they have gained control of the actual territory of another country by means of military conquest, and only then are they entitled to be crowned by the Pope or the bishop of the Holy See. And there are even fewer people like Wang Jian and Richard I who usurped the throne even with a tiger.
Now that the canadies were a foregone conclusion, in order to avoid complaints from the Holy See about the legitimacy of the coronation, they would have to hasten the conquest of all of France, just as the Teutonic Knights had completed their complete conquest of Prussia and immediately became a state of the Order, but were recognized by the Church.
The conquest radiated in two directions from the center of Paris, leaving aside the Duchy of Normandy and the English side, and began to radiate in the other two directions through which it had not passed, and the two armies were led by the king himself and assisted by the king's subordinates.
Most of the noble lords encountered on the way were able to obtain the entire territory by simply presenting the authorization of the new king. There are also some places that will reluctantly agree to recognize their allegiance to the new king in person, and make a written oath of attachment but have evil intentions behind their backs.
But this can't stop the government of Wang Jian and the king's two teams, they only want this written contract, as long as you sign this oath contract that once ruled the king, then if you dare to follow some people to make trouble after relieving yourself afterwards, you will find yourself.
Along the way, they did not meet a single person who dared not to recognize the legitimacy of the king and not to swear allegiance to the new king before this army, but even so, when they returned to Paris again, it was two months later, and the weather in Paris in mid-July was starting to get hot......
The guests and envoys who had come to watch the ceremony were left for seven days, and only after Wang Jian and His Majesty had forced the real power to sign a contract were told that they could leave, and were escorted out by the King's Guard.
And the great nobles of the island, as well as several powerful nobles in France, have been confined to their own mansions in Paris until now, and not only that, but their eldest son has been demanded. That is, the first in line to the throne must go to Paris to study uniformly.
Richard I completely controlled these nobles through the king's simple advice, and as the king simply said, these nobles should be allowed to be respectful rather than laissez-faire, and it is safest to keep these nobles and their heirs in their own hands at all times.
Now King Richard. More and more inclined to listen to Wang Jian's voice, more and more rely on Wang Jianjian, whether it is his strategic ideas or political strategies can be 100% implemented by King Richard.
However, it was not until they returned to Paris, France for more than a month that they still did not receive any information that the mission had ended, and only showed that they had successfully resisted the French invasion. The next step of the mission: Help Richard I obtain the throne of France and be crowned, which shows that it is completed.
Even the task of helping Richard I gain the allegiance of the French nobility has been completed. But there was no next task, and there was no reminder that he had completed it and could leave.
This made Wang Jian wonder if he was trapped here, but she knew in her heart that there should be nothing completely completed, so he had to comfort himself that it might be because he had not received feedback from other countries and the Holy See, so he could not completely clear the customs.
In fact, he himself knew that after all, in terms of tasks, he had already exceeded the set tasks, and it stands to reason that there was no problem in leaving this world. That's why he was able to calm down and arm his troops.
Although the conquest went smoothly, and the king said that he would not pursue the alleged assassination and premeditated sabotage of the coronation ceremony in the city of Paris, there were still a few fools who wanted to be loyal to the previous dynasty and plotted to elect the Count of Champagne as king in an attempt to restore the restoration.
It's a pity that these people were wiped out by Wang Jian, which can be regarded as a side quest, and in this mission, Wang Jianjian also got an unexpected gain, that is, his reward was finally set. In Richard I's view, he was able to get to where he is today thanks to the king's simple support.
Others only have one coin left for meritorious deeds, and Wang Simple has not had a suitable reward, in fact, because he feels that it is not enough to give him anything, and the conspiracy and lobbying of these guys just gave the king a chance to reward Wang Jian, and he rewarded Wang Simple with the territory of these people as a principality.
And in this way, Wang Jian became a bishop and duke, he said that the number of guards he had has also increased again, Wang Jian knew very well that whether it was the bishop's guard or the duke's call, the share of duty and the guard, Wang Jian could really bring out of this world, and these people would also become the foundation of Wang Jian's black iron level bastard.
Therefore, Wang Jian made great efforts to assemble his troops, first pardoning the crimes of some elite knights among the best of these troublesome men, gaining their loyalty and gratitude, and then further asking for the Knights Templar on the Temple Mount.
In this way, a powerful army is populated, and then the best of the best in this army are selected, and further weapons and armor are strengthened at the same time as the virus, so that these unchosen ones can step up their practice and carefully protect this territory that may become a private territory that they can take out.
In this way, more than half a month passed, and Wang Jian finally got the notice to leave, and Robin Hood's task was completed.

PS: Ask for support, a mission is over, and Chubby's paternity leave has been taken. The first day at work was too busy, so I went home and started writing a novel after answering everything correctly, and now I have just finished writing.
