Chapter 82: Mr. Bishop is Worried (Sanjiang Recommends Additions)
If Mr. Bishop was still angry before, he is depressed now, this is not the result he wants—although the Bible severely rebukes all things that do not make bed curtains for the sake of reproduction, everyone knows that the clergy of Rome have always been meat and vegetarians, and the people of Italy are even more amorous— This was true for men, and so was for women, and the Renaissance completely liberated their minds and desires, and they were like the expelled Olympian gods who were in pursuit of beauty all day long, unable to extricate themselves, like the scholars of ancient Greece who indulged in unspeakable deformed love......
This is true of the Italians, of the Germans, of the Spaniards, and even of the English, and only the middle classes are the most susceptible to harshness, because they are neither as unscrupulous as the inferior nor as free as the superior - when his nephew Felipe is given the cold reception by the king and rejected by the queen mother (he cannot get close to the queen mother), the proposal is not approved by the bishop at first, but he must also take into account that the prestige of the royal brother Philip is approaching the king— The king was of a gentle temperament and was not as flamboyant as his brother, so the attention was often focused on the younger brother, and Mr. Bishop reminded the king, but Louis trusted his brother very much, and instead of being distant and cold to the Duke of Anjou as Mr. Bishop said, he kept putting more and more important matters in the hands of the brother.
And the visit of the former Queen of Sweden has become the last weight in the heart of Mr. Bishop.
As for the king, he was only on the merits, giving power and positions according to his personal ability, and he did not even feel that he cared much for Philip, and in this matter, as he had given the post of treasurer to Fouquet, and the post of royal engineer to Vauban, and the post of general and marshal to Viscount Tirrene and Schaumberg, out of sheer public interest— Mr. Bishop did not think so, he was very willing to see a tolerant king, because he knew that those who wanted to seize the power of the king were afraid that nothing would end well, even if he and the queen mother, out of such a little selfishness, he did not want Louis to change, but the problem was that such tolerance fell on the royal brother, it was not good, he had been watching the Duke of Gaston in Blois, and it was said that he was either drunk all day long, and he was sleeping or cursing his brother and nephew loudly— And he has not given up his ambitions, and Mr. Bishop is ready to take this abominable fellow with him if he is going to see God—though they may not go the same way.
Such an idea is not sudden, Bishop Mazaran came from a humble background, and it is almost difficult for a person from a humble background in this era to have a healthy body, behind the long-sleeved good dance, is working and thinking day and night, the long-term day and night makes him age faster than his peers, he has been coughing constantly, and the doctor asked him to find "the fresh corpse flesh of a red-haired man who was hanged or decapitated or beheaded at about 24 years old" as a special medicine- He refused, the potion of the inner world was much more effective, and Mr. Bishop would rather eat bat wings, toad legs, or rat tails than cannibalism.
He knew that Felipe had indeed been using special perfumes, the perfumes of wizards, to gain the favor of women, and really, it was no different from vain boys wearing a diamond ring on their fingers, and he had sternly warned him that his status and abilities in the inner world could not be present in the court, which was taboo, and all those in power could not tolerate themselves, or those close to them, being controlled- Just like Merlin, he has done a lot of things for King Arthur, it can be said that King Arthur is King Arthur, Merlin has a lot of credit, but he did two things wrong, one is to admit that he can control his fate, and the second is to cast a face-changing spell for King Arthur's father, King Uther, so that Arthur can be born - if the first thing can only be said to be unsubstantiated, then the latter thing undoubtedly hits the king's weakness - who knows if Merlin will become his wife, A lover or a knight, and will that person suddenly betray him and strike him a fatal blow when he is unsuspecting?
King Arthur's dislike of Merlin was entirely reasonable, and although he never showed it, how Vivien, the princess of Northumberland, could have made Merlin so enchanted that he obeyed him, and imprisoned him in the rock in one last move, and it is a mystery that King Arthur then acquiesced in the Church's massive attack on wizards?
Now the kings of the Inner World are willing to nurture and drive wizards, but also because the Inner World is weakening day by day, and the families who originally migrated to the Inner World have begun to plan to return to the Inner World - the Mancini family is not the only family that stretches out its tentacles to the outside world, and the Roman Church is gradually loosening the shackles of the Inquisition while constantly proclaiming its supreme and high position, at least a few hundred years ago, it was absolutely impossible for the Inquisition to continue to serve Protestantism - So why did the Church suddenly become kinder? It was not because they realized that the monks and their descendants could not continue to fight against wizards and dark creatures without the support of the Inner World, and that they were not hesitant to loosen their chains in some places, since they could control them.
Therefore, if Felipe confessed to Mr. Bishop, he wanted to use some subordinate means against the Duke of Anjou, especially those related to witchcraft, Mr. Bishop would never allow it, but when Mr. Bishop asked, he just smiled and said, Duke of Anjou, His Royal Highness has a good impression of him, and the relationship between them may be deeper than that of friends, and at that time, he will ask the prince brother to say a few kind words for him in front of the king, and the title of a duke will be at his fingertips.
Mr. Bishop had no doubts about this, and Marie had only revealed her identity when the werewolves raided the convoy and had no choice but to let her father and uncle personally rebuke her, Felipe was several years older than Marley, and he should have understood the tendencies of the family better, and should not have acted so stupidly.
......
But he did.
The thought of this Mr. Bishop could not help but have a splitting headache, and when he saw Mancini's parents and his brother, they were even more discouraged, and the strange thing was that they were both angry at each other's failure to do their duty-Mancini's parents did not dare to question the king, and after being ridiculed by Mr. Bishop, they were even more disgraced, and when they ran to the Louvre to question Marie, they could not get close at all— The last time they came to question Mary, the king was still in exile, the inquisitor of the Inquisition, Elelius, was still waiting for the price, and the hunting palace of Versailles was a funnel where even a commoner could swagger in, not to mention a wizard.
Now the king was accompanied by the monks of the Inquisition, and after the Felipe incident, the king asked Marie Mancini to move to a room adjacent to him, which caused a lot of gossip, but now the king could not care, according to Marie, Felipe was her father's favorite child, and it was difficult to say what her father would do - maybe he did not dare to do anything to the king, but in addition to Marie, he had many daughters.
Mr. Bishop did not know what to say when he heard these rumors, and he connived with Felipe because Louis had never shown the affection for women that a sixteen-year-old boy should have, and he was worried...... Yes, the same is true for the other gender, he is surrounded by more of his servants, his marshals and his ministers, which is really worrying, on the other hand, the royal brother Felipe is also old enough to get married, and the bishop does not want to see the royal brother have children before the king - even if it is illegitimate children, so he ...... He just wanted to delay Brother Wang's "true adult" age a little.
Although it is true that the younger brother may have some kind of bad preference, it doesn't matter, this is not the case among the nobles, they will still have a satisfactory marriage, have a wife, and have an heir, although this cannot be made public, but it will not become a disturbing handle.
But can he say that to the king, to the queen mother?
No.
——————
In the end, the king invited Mr. Bishop to his study, and they only talked for about ten minutes with only two of them, and decided on the compensation to the Mancini family.
Marie's sister, the eldest daughter of Mancini, Laura Mancini, was discussing her marriage with the Duke of Modena, and the king was to send messengers to congratulate and give gifts worth 100,000 livres, and the marriage of Prince Conte and this woman had been basically agreed, and the king would give them gifts worth 100,000 livres and lend them the Palace of Fontainebleau, so that they could have a decent place to make the marriage contract and complete the ceremony.
"And Marie Mancini...... "said Mr. Bishop," said Mr. Bishop, "and they all wanted her to have a distinguished family." ”
This time the king did not answer him.
