78 Unspoken Rules
No wonder Shepp was frightened, for he was going to be a bishop, not that it was absolutely impossible, but, with his current age and seniority......
If he is the biological son of the king and queen, there is still a little hope!
Luo Yi was overjoyed when he saw this scene, and when he saw that the little priest was frightened, he finally avenged the revenge that he was frightened by when he first crossed over!
Hmph, the little woman's revenge, three years is not too late!
However, she didn't expect that she would be able to buy the position of Bishop of Tournest!
Although the Decameron says that there is nothing to be bought and sold in the papal city, and the flesh and blood of saints and the office of the church are among the trades, but it is a Renaissance satire, is it applicable to this era?
However, the invasion and blackmail of the northerners gave her a perfect chance!
In order to make up for the amount extorted by the northerners, not only were taxes raised, but the Kingdom of Newcastle also began to sell land and church positions - unlike the general Chinese perception, in this era, although not as good as Charlemagne's words about the appointment of bishops, the royal families and nobles of various countries have a considerable say in the church.
No matter how much the Church proclaims itself to be the spokesman of the gods, it is a truth that power comes out of the barrel of a gun, but it is also a universal truth in this world.
When she heard the news, Luo Yi first thought of renting a few pieces of royal land to operate and expand her manpower, and then after detailed inquiries, she came up with a crazy idea to buy a bishop for the little priest.
In doing so, the benefits are great.
First of all, she didn't have to worry about the expansion of the territory being discovered by the Church, the question of heresy, who in the diocese of Tournest could have more say than Bishop Tournest?
Second, she no longer had to deal with merchants, and she was able to get some monopoly business.
Again, she could recruit more students under the guise of the church.
After the last ridiculous dispatch of troops, she has realized that it is not rich and official positions that can call people into battle, instinctively will make people deserters and transform the old-style army, even Qi Jiguang, an unborn famous general, has suffered a lot, and she doesn't want to experiment anymore.
Or brainwash yourself from scratch...... No, it's a quick time to raise one.
Moreover, the combat effectiveness should also be stronger.
She never thought that she could reach the level of the Whampoa Student Army, her goal...... The Taliban are satisfied!
Just that group of seminarians is enough to sweep the Afghan warlords, and according to her observations, the level of the warlords in this world is only low compared to the Afghan warlords - the Afghan warlords are still literate.
Luo Yi, who was dreaming sweetly, examined his plan and found that it was very likely to succeed.
His Majesty the King who favored Bishop Joseph had abdicated, and would it be the seven-year-old doll who was now in power?
Idiots don't think so!
Duke Ulrich was the king's grandfather, the queen mother's father, and he had a military force that could only turn a blind eye to the king's blasphemous behavior even if he was on the throne, and it was obvious that his power was only greater now, and his influence in the court would only be stronger.
And old Jacob, who happened to be in line with the steward of the Duke of Ulrich, once got on the line.
Before he became Baroness Bullard's contractor, he was a merchant in the service of Duke Ulrich – well, that's what his writ of habeas corpus says.
However, being able to buy a writ of habeas corpus issued by the duke, he and the duke, at least, with the duke's steward, are definitely not incompatible.
The more she thought about it, the more she felt that it was very likely to happen.
So, she sent old Jacob and his son to do this for her.
Today, we have finally received a satisfactory answer.
Joseph, the former Bishop of Turnnest, was very opposed, but the clanging of gold coins was even louder, and besides, after the attack of the northerners and the abdication of the king, the old bishop's strength was so damaged that it was no longer enough to support him and the duke.
The duke said that he was old and should go to his old age, and had already found him a position more suitable for him.
He was sent to be abbot of the Abbey of St. Martin.
When the matter was done, Luo Yi's heart blossomed, and she couldn't wait to inform the little priest of this "good news".
She took two steps and hesitated again: "Am I taking care of this?" ”
Then, she shook her head and vetoed this idea, "I pay for him to work for me to make money, not to ask him to give me cubs, let alone to make a few albums that no one listens to and make a few thunder films that no one watches to fool the public, where can this be regarded as a package, it should be regarded as a long-term investment!" ”
After the plan was agreed, Luo Yi came to the little priest and informed him that he had been promoted to a bishop by his own unspoken rules.
Hearing the little priest's panicked denial, Luo Yi had already made up her mind, and she said with a smile: "How is it impossible? It is personally elected by His Majesty the Most Honorable King, elected by the Synod of Bishops, appointed by the King! ”
"Impossible! I don't even know what to do! I didn't think about being a bishop! Shepp roared, "How can His Majesty the King know my name!" ”
"I sent someone to tell him."
"Well, you're the one who did it." The little priest's eyes gradually showed a look of madness, and the triumphant Luo Yi didn't notice it at all.
"How? Interestingly, I don't think there has ever been a young bishop in Newcastle. ”
"Anyone who hears it will know that there is something wrong with it."
"Nonsense! It's democratically elected! Will democratically elected people be bored? In another thousand years, you can also say that I was democratically elected, and there will be no cats! ”
"You have prepared democracy for me, but what about my freedom! I don't want to be a bishop at all! ”
"Heh, you're democratic, what do you want to do freely!"
"I want to ...... freely"
As soon as Luo Yi wanted to continue to haze at the little priest who had been unspoken by her, and persuade him to obediently accept his fate, a bright sword light came straight towards her front door.
