Chapter 149: Secrets! Blood Sect
Thank you for the reward of "Qing Ming" and "Refining Realm", thank you very much.
=======================
This is a war, and in order to achieve ultimate victory, any means are allowed.
His Majesty the Emperor said this at an internal meeting of the royalists.
This sentence has also spread, there is no impermeable wall in this world, and even if there is, it will be permeable to the wind by digging a hole.
The entire aristocratic class is full of shit, this is not a deliberate demeaning of the ruling class, the aristocracy has trampled on the law for a long time, dating back to the founding of the country. At that time, a group of Tuhrman mud doglegs overthrew the rule of the Bossi dynasty and established the Tullman Empire on this land, and in the early days of the state, there was a little internal friction. At that time, several aristocratic groups competed with each other for the ownership of the throne, after all, everyone had contributed to the overthrow of the Bossi, and there was no reason to give up the benefits to others.
Eventually, Tullman I, with the support of two leaders of the aristocratic group, took the final reins of the country. Since others have given something, Tourman I must also give it in return. So what's the reward? Simply put, it's privilege. The nobility had a great deal of privileges, all of which were established by Tullman I in the early days of the state in order to appease the other noble groups.
You can't always turn your face and deny people after you have eaten and drunk enough, at that time, everyone had a hundred warriors in their hands, and it was a rebellion if it was not good.
When the later emperor wanted to take power, he found that it was too late. Both the aristocracy and the royal family have become accustomed to the existence of these privileges. And these privileges continue to this day.
The most common is the ransom decree, where the nobles can replace themselves with money to atone for their crimes, and officially because of the existence of such a system, few people in the aristocratic group are clean on their buttocks.
Anyway, if you break the law, you just need to pay a little money, so why bother to honestly obey the law and wronged yourself?
Tax cuts, which can destabilize the rule of the royal family, can be carried out in a fair manner, not to mention those that are not serious crimes.
Fortunately, the nobles also had their own dignity and did not do things desperately, which allowed the Tuhlman Empire to maintain until now.
But now, the sins committed by these nobles have become a means of attacking each other.
After a period of silence, the royal family opened fire again.
Like mad dogs, the imperial ceremonial officials kept writing to impeach all nobles who were not royalists, and the royal family did not care and directly ordered people to be investigated. Their intransigence angered the other two cousins of His Majesty the Emperor, and they began to make fun of the royalist nobles' unwiped buttocks, and the impeachment letters were piled up like snowflakes throughout the hall. The three parties go their own way, you catch yours, I take mine, and the dumping between each other is once again intensified. There are verbal battles in the court every day, you come and go, and there are several brawls for this reason, which can be said to have lost the face of the aristocratic class.
During this period, Rosie asked Tang De to bring his family to the imperial capital to find out their identities, so that Sol could give him his life with peace of mind.
When Tynes' name was written on the canonization book and handed over to the Imperial Agency for sealing, Donde's lips trembled with excitement. The fate of the family has changed dramatically in just ten years, this is an imperial noble, but what about an earl! Tynes is also excited, a gangster from the middle of the family, transformed into an imperial earl, it is too dramatic.
The young man couldn't hold his breath, and he hurriedly said goodbye to Rosie and immediately returned to his hometown to show off. Over the years, Tang De's family has indeed had a very bleak life, and Tynes originally had a marriage, but was later declined. The other party is a big businessman, how could he marry his daughter to a gang member who does not want to make progress? He urgently needs to slap others in the face, but Tang De stayed in the imperial capital.
He understood that Tynes had been able to obtain the status of nobility because of his grandfather Thor.
Maybe there is no communication between each other, and there is no emotion, but the bloodline can't be fake. He needs to take on some responsibilities, even if his shoulders are not enough to carry too heavy a burden.
Thor was also very satisfied, he never thought that his descendants would become nobles, and that would be the sworn enemies of the church. His mood at the moment was also complicated, from the moment Tynes was officially canonized and registered, he was firmly tied to Rossi's chariot.
Since he has the same interests, Rosie is qualified to take out the doubts in his heart.
Why Attila would help him is what has been bothering Rossi for all this time. As the sharpest sword and sharpest eye of the Church of Light, Attila's presence is beyond that of the ordinary apostles, even more important to the Church than the cardinals.
For Rossi's doubts, Saul was silent for a long time before giving an answer.
Because Rossi killed the thief leader at the transfer station, Attila would help him.
This involves the secrets of a church, which has not been recorded in any written record in the history of the church or even in the history of the world.
In the heyday of the Church, because there were no external enemies, many schools of thought emerged within the Church, such as the more famous ones were the Rational Brothers, which advocated the unity of all currents, and the Hermitage Society, which advocated the training of the body and mind, which is now the ascetic.
These schools went their own way, competing for power within the church, and even fighting each other. At that time, the main task of the Inquisition was not only to search for and exterminate the sporadic heretical sects, but also to focus more on internal adjudication and trial. There was a time when factional struggles within the Church were so fierce that the Inquisition even burned more than a dozen cardinals and archbishops, and even one priest was tied to the fire and burned alive.
When the church flourished and declined, these factions immediately abandoned their prejudices and barriers to each other and reunited again.
In this unrecorded history, there is a very famous faction called the Holy Cross of Blood. The apostles of this faction admired death and violence, and they used the most cruel and cruel means to execute all heretics and enemies, and they liked to nail people to the walls or the ground, and they used the blood of these people to draw a huge cross. They also like to sacrifice the flesh and blood of heretics in exchange for greater power and the protection of the gods.
They are not only fierce to their enemies, but also show no mercy to their own people. There was once a cardinal who was executed by the Holy Cross of Blood by sacrifice. They dug out the cardinal's heart, put it in a vessel made of gold, and painted with his blood a huge blood-colored cross on the wall of a cathedral, and even depicted a circle called a "shiki".
The cardinal was tortured for seven days under the shadow of a miraculous recovery before he could take his last breath, the Pope was furious, the Inquisition began to intervene, and the leaders of the Blood Holy Cross faction were executed and the others were exiled, and the school became a thing of the past.
Although not explicitly recorded, these events have been passed down from generation to generation, especially by the group of ascetics, who are happy to pass on by word of mouth what the Church does not allow to be recorded.
The reason why Rossi was able to get Attila's help was because he acted in a way that resembled the Blood Holy Cross faction that had once appeared.
Thor didn't continue, but Rossi had already learned something from these words, and it was very likely that Attila was the heir of this faction.
If you say that, it can be explained.
It's just that...... , Rosie scratched his head, he really didn't know that his unintentional move had so much deep meaning.
The purpose of what he did was to deter those who had ill intentions towards the Church to the greatest extent, and through blood and death, to make them understand that even if the Church is now down, it can trample on their lives like ants that have been trampling on them.
This effect is indeed good, at least during the time when Rossi first came to the imperial capital, no one dared to trouble him.
Thor didn't make it completely clear, the Blood Holy Cross faction had another name - the Blood Sect.
With the exception of those who were burned and forked to death, the exiled apostles eventually returned to the wing of the Church. These madmen did not abandon their course because they were found wrong by the Pope, but hibernated, leaving behind a lot of things.
For example, "Shi", such as sacrifice, such as the bloody magic that is listed as forbidden destruction.
Attila is the last successor of the Blood Sect, and this faction was about to end when he came to him, but no one expected that some of Rossi's actions just confirmed some of the ideas in the Blood Sect, making Attila regard him as the heir of the faction.
This is one of the reasons why many cardinals don't like Rosie, they feel that Rosie is cruel enough, and if he inherits the legacy of the Blood Sect, maybe he will do something earth-shattering in the future.
I was really hit by an arrow while lying down, and I was also hit in the knee.
