Chapter 611 The reason why successful people are successful is that they know how to give up and are open-minded
"Your Majesty, forgive me for my rudeness, what if you give up the Pope's position to the Emperor?", Wren offered an idea that would make the eyes of the Pope widen for Higla, and he almost asked Wren what he wanted to do. But he held back, frowning, thinking on the one hand, and waiting for Wren's next words on the other.
Not interrupted by the Pope, Wren was also a little surprised, and he realized that the Pope is definitely not a simple "ruler". That's right, he is the ruler, in his world, he rules over countless believers, he is the well-deserved "emperor" of the church. This emperor's temperament and bearing are by no means comparable to ordinary people, if Wren proposes to Empress Pars to let her give up the throne to the Pope, it is estimated that Empress Pars will jump up on the spot and give him an ugly look.
This is also the reason why those scholars and some aristocrats believe that women are far inferior to men as emperors - she is not yet able to achieve the calm and rational attitude of men towards emergencies.
"If the Emperor of the Orlando Empire is also the Pope of the Church, can we think that this has achieved the ******* purpose? Whether it is the secular government in the eyes of the Church, or the divine power above the power, is in the hands of one man, and if this person then unifies the whole continent with great power, ...... he does not need to continue, because even if he does not say it, Hegla knows what he wants to say.
That's right, if you really do this, it is indeed *******, and it is more authoritarian than those **** in the history of the church. In the past, ******* was nothing more than the divine power of religion above the imperial power, but it did not interfere with the internal management of an empire. In addition to the fact that the pope has enough power to interfere in major issues of right and wrong, the pope can only watch other small matters.
But if the emperor is the pope, does it mean that this empire is no longer an ordinary empire, but a ...... The Kingdom of God?
Hegla's breathing was a little messy, and his heart was messed up for a moment, what this guy Wren said was really amazing. But if he had given up the position of Pope to an emperor, would that emperor would have chosen to focus on political power or on theocracy?
Once the emperor is also the pope, then the choice is no longer a difficult decision for the people. Anyway, both theocracy and imperial power are one, and theocracy has more advantages over imperial power in managing and manipulating the people, even if the ******* emperor does not act, the people will imperceptibly complete the transformation from ordinary people to believers.
When the majority of people in a country are believers, does the emperor still have to choose whether he is an emperor or a pope?
Not at all!
Not to mention the fact that there is no eternal empire in this world, but there is an eternal faith, and history has proven this point of view countless times.
Where are those innumerable and prosperous empires now? I am afraid that I can't find even a bit of scum? But the Church of Light still exists! Whether it is for the sake of passing on the power in the hands to the next generation, or for other more "noble" ideals, the divine right is clearly more suitable for the ruler than the imperial power.
At this moment, Hegla was really convinced by Wren's astonishing boldness of ideas - in fact, he himself convinced himself.
But he didn't make any judgments or conclusions about this, because it was just a hypothesis. There was no way he would give up the Pope's position to an Orlando family who had been suppressing the Church for a long time, and he would not be able to abandon all his plans as he tried to jump out of a pool of backwater and sprint to a new goal. But this is a hypothesis, a possibility, and a prospect.
A very perfect direction!
This is the end of the trial between the two sides, and Heghera is very satisfied with the meeting, even the unexpected one. Wren gave him the impression that he was by no means an ordinary nobleman, and he saw great ambition and hope in Wren. It may be ridiculous to say, but in many cases, under the crown of the Pope, Hegla, is the well-deserved hope and future in the eyes of people, but such a big man still finds a trace of resonance, a trace of hope and a moment of heartbeat in the future described by Wren.
Although the two did not directly say what kind of commitment, nor did they express their attitudes clearly, both Wren and Heighla understood that the meeting had contributed to a foundation. Only when there is a foundation can there be a shocking miracle building.
If a person wants to hate someone, he often only needs one reason, such as "I don't like him", "he has a very obscene temperament", "this guy has a strong accent" and other reasons that are not even a problem. But if a person likes someone, then he can find so many reasons that he can't even believe it.
Wren has always had cooperation projects with the church, such as the auction of the church's deposited materials, such as the various goods sold by Wren through the church's channels. Wren is not a stingy man, there is no doubt about that, and no matter what kind of cooperation, it is a win-win for him and the church.
With the case of cooperation and the foundation of today, the smile on Haigra's face was sincere and heartfelt, he really didn't expect that there was such a person who was truly oriented to the church in the empire.
Ambition can be said to be a pursuit, everyone should have a pursuit, and Wren also has a pursuit, a pursuit that is not annoying, which is very good.
"You've bothered, but I'm sure that whatever you put in will be rewarded. It's not a good place to talk, and when we get back to the Empire, I think we should meet again, don't you think?", Heighla set the final tone, and Wren gladly accepted.
While they were talking, the two rude, barbaric and ungraceful mercenaries at the two tables on the side had eaten and drunk and stood up.
Without even looking at it, Hegla smiled and asked, "This is your backhand?"
He came here to meet Wren because of the clues left by Wren's continuous attacks on the small village, and both of them knew one thing very well, they could understand each other's thoughts, so in the Byron Empire, someone could also see what they were doing for them. If they really come to attack the city of Nedea, they will definitely touch the nose and face swollen. But if Nideya is not allowed to mess up, it will not be conducive to the departure of the manpower of both sides.
You must know that whether it is the remaining more than 2,000 soldiers under Wren's command or the mission, it is actually not very far from here. In order for the kamikaze of the Byron Empire to have more things to do, Nidea needs some small contingencies to break out to cover up the fact that the two sides have actually met.
This little sudden incident is this group of mercenaries who don't want to die.
Don't overestimate the mercenaries' morality, and don't underestimate the wolf-like ambition and greed of the mercenaries. If before this group of mercenaries just wanted to loot the arsenal warehouse in Nidea and run away for a little profit, now their purpose is to empty everything they can see.
A large number of soldiers rushed to the wall to prevent the attack of Wren and the mission, and entrenched themselves at the city gates, and the entire internal defense system of the city had become empty. They weren't just a dozen or so people, there were many more waiting in other taverns, inns, and more.
Now, after you've eaten and drunk enough, it's time to get things done.
Wren and Hegla also stood up, and Wren nodded, "Then it's time for me to take my leave, and I wish you a safe journey." ”
Heighra smiled gently, "That's what I want to say, and I wish you all the best." ”
Outside the city warehouse in the northeast corner of the city of Nedea, several soldiers leaned against the courtyard wall and chatted. They didn't want to stay in this place, and they didn't want to think about the big war the city was about to face. For these low-level soldiers, it may be that such a high-profile battle is the closest they have come to the privileged and aristocratic classes in their lives. As long as you can show your excellent side in battle, you will definitely be noticed by the big shots, and you will rise to the top.
Aristocracy or something is a luxury, but it is absolutely no problem to become a petty officer.
It's just a pity that they're assigned here, on duty in this damn warehouse where no one will show up.
A few people were complaining, when suddenly there was a knock on the courtyard door, and the young soldiers who were on duty trotted over. If in peacetime they may be slow, but this is wartime, and delaying the timing will be punished.
Pulling open the small window on the big iron gate and looking out, a group of soldiers in military uniforms impatiently banged on the courtyard door, and the young soldiers asked, "What's the matter?"
The man in the lead outside the courtyard gate was wearing a fur hat that covered half of his cheeks, and he could only see a beard on his chin, "There are not enough things, hurry up and open the door, there is still a waiting ahead." ”
"What about the pass?", the young soldier asked cautiously, only the pass issued by the officer could allow him to open the door, which was also the rule in wartime.
But what he didn't expect was that the soldier outside the door seemed to be on fire all of a sudden, and kicked on the iron door with a loud bang, "Made, didn't you show it to you just now? Now that there are not enough things to show, show Nima, if I get whipped for delay, don't think about it!"
The young soldier hesitated, it was indeed less than ten minutes before a group of people dragged a cart of supplies away, but it seemed to be about the same at the time. Just as he was recalling, the soldiers outside the door kicked the door a few more times, and in line with the fact that "the battle took place outside", he opened the courtyard door in hesitation.
