Chapter 138: The Dawn of a New Era (continued)
"True dignity comes from not being humble or arrogant in the face of the powerful and high-ranking people, not from being arrogant in the face of the people."
"If you have any requirements, just mention it, don't beat around the bush, put forward the true thoughts in your heart, we will finalize it on the spot if it can pass, and you can also consider it more if it doesn't work for the time being."
Laszlo's face was flat, and his tone was calm.
"Since Your Majesty has mentioned this, then we will not say much, we want the rights and interests we mentioned, if you can agree, we can lay down our arms now, otherwise, we will not hesitate to use force to achieve our demands."
Laszlo heard that something was wrong, and Pizarro on the side stood up first,
"What rights, what rights did you mention? We just arrived, and who knows what you guys said before? If you have something to say, say it now, don't talk about some non-existent things in the past. β
Now it was Heinrich's turn to be shocked, and he was hesitant,
"Aren't you Caesar? Aren't you the emperor of the Habsburgs? β
Pizarro also heard it, and he sneered, pretending to suddenly realize,
"Oh, co-author, you think Laszlo is the puppet emperor of Frederick, don't you?"
"What Puppet Emperor? Sling the bull. β
Laszlo reprimanded Pizarro and stopped him from wanting to humiliate Frederick III.
"Is it true that the Holy See, the kings and governors of the west, are all in trouble? Naturally, they have their reasoning, and today we will not make much of it. β
It can also be heard from the words that Laszlo's words directly gave the rulers of Western Europe, that is, the kings of some kingdoms and the governors of the Roman Empire, this jurisprudence comes from the edict of Justinian the Great, and the identity of Frederick III can also make a fuss, just say that the Holy Roman Empire is to temporarily manage the western regions instead of the Roman Empire, of course, this is all man-made, to be honest, if you really want to fight, just fight, what legal principles does Napoleon have? It's not by fists, it's all fooling, comforting, giving people a step down, if you win, you're the agent, if you lose, you're the successor, what else is there to say.
"It's... Aren't you and Frederick III both Habsburg emperors? β
Reprimanded by Pizarro, Heinrich also hesitated, he couldn't tell the difference, in German, the word emperor of the Holy Roman Empire and Caesar agreed with the same phone.
"Regardless of that much, what conditions did you and Frederick III make? Tell me about it. β
Speaking of this, Heinrich came to his senses, and suddenly gushed endlessly,
"First of all, the Bohemian Church was free from the control of the Holy See and became independent, the monks and clergy could not have any privileges, the Church should not have landed property, it must be nationalized, oppose the sale of indulgences and the formation of crusaders, abolish serfdom, abolish taxes, confiscate the land of the great nobles, and achieve church freedom..."
"Eh, wait, are you sure, you and Frederick III put forward these conditions"
Just kidding, if Laszlo also has memories of later generations, then he can't just shout that the other party is a shzy pioneer, isn't this trying to build a realistic version of utopia? If Frederick III accepts all of this, it can only be said that Frederick III has a problem with his brain, or he has no brain, and no one can agree to this kind of treaty.
β... Ang"
Although it is said that Frederick III agreed to these conditions, everyone can see the weakness of Heinrich's face, and the truth is self-evident.
"Oh, so this uncle of mine doesn't have a brain, does he?"
Laszlo smiled at first, and then immediately changed his face,
"Or do you think I don't have a brain? I'll just give you Bohemia. β
"Bohemia is the Bohemian Bohemia of the Bohemians, so why should you, as a foreign ruler, show off your power in our land? If Bishop Janhus had realized the unreliability of your group earlier, he would not have been burned to death, aren't you different? How are you different from Frederick III? β
"Don't think that Frederick III was driven away by you, and that your purpose is not the same as Frederick III? Without our help, sooner or later there will be people who will revolt. β
Heinrich stiffened his neck, and the meaning of his words was obvious, don't pretend to be a good person in Laszlo, you are all raccoon dogs, and no one is better than the other.
Laszlo narrowed his eyes and stared coldly at Heinrich, word by word,
"But if you surrender to me, we can discuss many things, but Frederick III, you can't negotiate anything."
Laszlo had a headache, such a person was obviously a serious threat to the royal power, but he didn't want to do whatever he wanted, he knew that as long as he gave an order, the town hall could be breached immediately, he was very confident in his knights, and the riders produced on the Hungarian plains were skilled and agile, but then what?
The Taborists were eliminated, then he had to rely on the Holy Grails, in short, he relied on the great nobles and the high-ranking clergy, in this era, the high-ranking clergy had separated from the people, more like the aristocracy, which meant that this group of people had less influence on the people, at least they could not affect the freemen, and the city dwellers or village residents everywhere would inevitably be dissatisfied with LΓ‘szlo's policies, because these people were the Taborists, and their relatives and friends participated in the Hussite War, how could it not cause panic?
But do you say these scares work? A cruel reality, useless, they don't have the strength and courage to rebel, no one supports them, as long as the nobles and priests are safe, they can't even find a literate among these people, who has the ability to connect them, but, Laszlo doesn't want this, he wants to gain greater benefits through this matter, although simple suppression is fine, it is also unprofitable.
"If this stalemate continues, it will not be good for everyone, so I promise three conditions: first, the Bohemian Church will be independent from the jurisdiction of the Holy See, second, the land of the Church will be nationalized, and the follow-up arrangements will be made later, and third, the Pope will be forbidden to sell indulgences and form crusaders in Bohemia, and treat them as illegal, and if you agree, I can now sign a treaty with you and make it into law."
To be honest, Daniel almost shouted happily from the sidelines, if Laszlo really agreed, it would be a stage victory for the Hussite movement, which was unimaginable before.
Ignoring Georg, whose face was extremely ugly behind Laszlo, Heinrich spoke slowly,
"No, we have to add one more, reform religious rituals."
"Heinrich, don't go too far!"
Georg immediately came out and reprimanded, hoping that LaszlΓ³ would be angry and refuse the treaties.
Reform religious ceremonies, this is a very serious issue, strict etiquette system is the best way to distinguish between the noble and the low, only in these aspects, can we see the difference between the noble and the commoner, this is also the privilege of the nobles and clergy, the demand for the reform of religious ceremonies, means that in some public occasions, people no longer have the distinction between the noble and the low, or in other words, it is easy to see the noble and the low, which is undoubtedly a major blow to these high-level personnel.
Don't think these are not important, this is a very, very important thing, but we can't understand, just like a modern person can't understand the ram Confucian's "the enmity of the ninth generation, especially can be avenged", we now pay attention to the encounter with a smile and enmity, the Han Dynasty can have the benevolence of the ancestors, the loyalty of the prime minister, and the righteousness of the marquis, and such people will be slandered, what to pretend, what history is a little girl who can be dressed up, modern people want to understand the ancients, just like Yelang wants to understand the vast Han Dynasty.
Daniel tugged at Heinrich's sleeve, he was very anxious, he desperately wanted Heinrich to directly agree to these conditions, even if there were any requirements, he could talk about it later, why rush for such a moment?
Heinrich ignored Daniel's urgency, staring at Laszlo's face, although he was still a little afraid, but some things, if he didn't say it, didn't fight for it, wouldn't it be to live up to Bishop Janhus's expectations, to live up to General Jaska, he was more afraid of this than Laszlo's punishment.
Laszlo was thinking, this thing didn't mean much to him, he didn't care much about this kind of thing, but he had to think about the impact, whether the clergy would oppose him because of this, what the nobles thought of this, where else could the nobles go except for the church, and what should be done if there was no way out.
"How many of you are there?"
After a moment, Laszlo asked seemingly nonchalantly.
"There are as many peasants, workers, lowly clergy and petty aristocrats as there are in the whole of Bohemia!"
Heinrich's eyes lit up.
"Hmm... Five days, I'll give you an answer in five days. β
Laszlo suddenly got up and quickly returned to the camp, Georg glared at Heinrich hatefully, seeing that the other party was immersed in excitement and couldn't extricate himself, he snorted coldly and followed Laszlo away.
Pizarro followed Laszlo, and Cornell's reaction aroused his curiosity, since Laszlo's negotiations began, no matter what was discussed, Cornell looked unconcerned and very calm, which made Pizarro a little strange,
Laszlo didn't care about the three of them, quickly took out a pen and paper, and began to write,
"Honorable, my dear Majesty Constantine, I've been in good health lately, I haven't seen you for a long time, and I miss you very much..."
β... I now have a problem, a force in Bohemia, called the Tabors, they are not very strong, but they are very influential, and they demand a lot of religion..."
β... My opinion is that I promise them that the Church in Bohemia should be independent of the Holy See, that the Church should reform the rituals, that I will propagate the doctrine, that I will separate the system that the Holy See has built from the secular world, and that this will be a serious blow to the Holy See, but it is to be expected that the Holy See's retaliation will also be very violent, and I seek your support if necessary, and I hope to receive your help if necessary. β
Laszlo's eyes flickered as he watched the messenger go away.
Dissatisfaction with the Holy See is present in all countries and regions, but in the absence of a leader, the Holy See's methods of enriching themselves are endless, and corruption is always known, if Laszlo can survive the revenge of the Holy See, a new era is coming.
Some people died, but not completely......
