As soon as the Patriarch of Lisbon finished speaking, the tower fell silent again. After a while, the bishop said in an uncertain tone, "Can't you just pretend that you have shipped it from somewhere else, or bought it from a grain merchant?"

"I'm afraid not. Immediately, another bishop retorted: "This winter, the weather is abnormal, unusually cold, and now the heavy snow has closed the roads, and almost all the caravans to and from the Holy Radiance City are unable to transport goods, and our Holy Sect is no exception. ”

"What's more, the Holy Sect's caravan has been robbed, and the news has already spread, let alone this as a reason. ", added another bishop.

"Those big nobles have also burned all their own grain reserves, and now the grain merchants in Shenghui City don't have much grain in their hands, and the excuse of buying grain from them is not valid at all. ”

"That is to say, all the roads are blocked, and these nobles are really planning and thinking about everything. One bishop lamented.

"But now that we've seen through it, they're useless. One of the bishops spread his hands and said with a smile: "We just need to stand still and continue to maintain a minimum of relief as we are now." ”

"That's right, in this way, they burned all the stored grain in vain, but they got nothing, so it was still a great victory for our Holy Sect. The other bishop also laughed.

"Is that all satisfied?", the Patriarch of Lisbon asked suddenly.

"Bishop of Lisbon, do you have any other plans that you can't do?"

The Patriarch of Lisbon nodded, "With our support, the second prince is indeed powerful now, and the call for ascending to the throne is very high, but the people who have taken refuge in him are basically some emerging nobles, or small nobles. For example, those big families in the noble elders' house rarely take a stand now, and there are almost no who are willing to form an alliance with the second prince. ”

"What's more, they have united and set up such a conspiracy against the Holy Sect, which means that in fact, these great nobles are already in a hostile position with our Holy Sect, so the possibility of them supporting the second prince's accession to the throne has become very low. ”

"It is true that these great nobles are deeply entrenched in the kingdom and have a deep influence on the royal family. If they are determined to oppose the Holy Sect, then the second prince's plan to become the prince will have to make waves again. One of the bishops agreed.

"So why not take this opportunity to crack down on these greedy and stupid nobles. Now that the offense and defense have changed, these nobles have become prey standing on the surface and ignorant and ignorant, while the Holy Cult has become hunters who lie in ambush and hide in the shadows. ”

"As long as these nobles are beaten, hurt, and let them know that they are afraid, these nobles will no longer dare to go against the Holy Sect. What's more, now in our hands, we still have nobles attacking the Holy Sect caravan, such a handle and excuse in hand. ”

"It sounds like a good opportunity, but how do you do it?" the bishops said, giving each other two looks.

"His Majesty the Pope has already made a decision on this, and in fact His Majesty is now lacking in skills, precisely to arrange a blow against the nobles. Once the Holy Sect strikes this time, it will be a fatal blow, hitting these nobles to the bone marrow, and carving the fear of the Holy Sect into their bones and into their blood. ”

As soon as they heard the name of the Holy Religion, they wept bitterly and wept in fright. The slightly vulgar words caused several bishops to laugh, and the bishop of Lisbon also had a smile on his face.

It's just that there is no smile in his eyes, but like a winter wolf in the west, focused and cruel, that is the look in his eyes when he finds his prey and is about to launch a sneak attack.

It's as cold as ice, and it doesn't have a bit of temperature.

Inside the tower, the voices rang out one after another, and although there were statues of gods all around, the words were not prayers for the light, but like the poisonous serpents that tempted mankind in mythology.

Full of venom.

......

Bright sunlight shines through the large panes of glass, decorating the room in a golden glow. Today is a rare good weather in winter, and even the sunshine is no longer weak and weak in the past few days, but has become as enthusiastic as summer.

There are no frills in the room, just delicate flowers planted in large and small pots. Even in winter, these colourful, fragrant flowers bloom uncannificently, looking even more radiant in the sunlight.

The old man sat in a wheelchair, holding a pair of scissors and stopped in front of a moon beauty, he was silent and motionless, as if he was thinking about which branches to prune and how to get rid of the pests hidden in the soil.

A middle-aged man dressed gorgeously and standing up quite dignified stood behind the old man, perhaps because the room was too warm, and a lot of sweat appeared on his face after a while. Sweat snaked down his face, probably because of the discomfort, and his face twitched from time to time, as if he wanted to use his facial strength to shake it all off.

It's just that he didn't dare to wipe it, and he didn't dare to make any unceremonious moves, and his legs, which were already standing sore, didn't dare to move even a step.

Since the rebellion of the Great Prince was wiped out like snow on the day, and the royal family occupied the southern border with the power of thunder, this majesty is even more blessed and self-respecting in the hearts of the courtiers.

It's just that for some reason, after the rebellion of the Great Prince, Grievous the Great began to be obsessed with gardening, which had to make the princes of the current dynasty guess whether it was this thoughtful emperor who had changed in his heart?

After finally reaching out the scissors and cutting off a branch of flowers, Grievous the Great finally spoke, which also made the middle-aged man secretly relieved.

"You just said that in just ten days, there have been many riots in this city?"

"Yes, there are more and more mobs in the city now, and even if the National Police Department tries to suppress it, the situation in the city is becoming more and more tense. The middle-aged man replied respectfully.

"What about the prices in the city?", the Emperor continued.

"After a few days of grain release, the price of rice has stabilized a little, but the price is still very high, and there is no sign of any fall. The price of charcoal, coal and other things has been rising, and its price has risen more than ten times. Not only that, but the prices of daily necessities such as cloth and meat in the city are now showing signs of rising. ”

"Hmph, the Ministry of Internal Affairs is a bunch of waste, this king has authorized the opening of storage, and it has no effect at all, how did they raise and allocate supplies?", Grievous the Great snorted coldly with dissatisfaction.
