"Frederick III is simply too rampant, he has violated the religious agreement of Worms, he is disrespectful to the Lord, he is a great disrespect to the Lord, His Majesty, I strongly demand that Frederick III be broken, and call on all the dioceses in the Holy Roman Empire to come together against Frederick III, otherwise it will not be enough to maintain the dignity of the Holy See."

The cardinal, one of the seven dioceses of the Holy See, was so strongly opposed that everyone looked sideways.

The Holy See has five major temples, seven dioceses, and less than 30 cardinals, and is the supreme leadership body of the Western Ecumenical Church.

The Pope of Rome is the chief priest of the Lateran Basilica, one of the five temples, and the seven dioceses are derived from the legend of the mountain of seven hills, and the three cardinal priesthoods such as cardinals, cardinals, deacons, and cardinals are the key to the election of the pope, and they are also veritable rulers.

Among the current nearly 30 cardinals, all of them are Romans, or in other words, bishops of the diocese in the parish of Rome, so far, no bishop from other places has been appointed as cardinals, and the exclusivity is still relatively strong, which is a tradition that has always been the Holy See, and it is also possible to know why a Polish pope during the Cold War made the Polish people so excited.

"And the archbishop of Milan, does he not want to be elected the next cardinal? How could he let such a thing happen? And there has been no movement so far, could it be that he was also bought by Frederick III? ”33

"Quiet, Abraham, it is not clear now, do not be so harsh on the believers of the Lord."

Pius II tried to persuade him, but he knew that it would not help, and that he had to know Frederick III's attitude first.

"Cardinal Matthea, why do you think Frederick III would do such a thing in such a hurry? Is there any reason for this? ”

Pius II asked his advisory board, which was one of the important roles of the cardinals.

"Judging from Frederick III's actions, this is just because Frederick III wanted to raise military expenses, but he did not dare to attack the country, and the additional taxes would only make him lose the support of the nobility, so he took action against the Italian region that was about to break away from the empire, and the Bishop of Parma was just warned by Frederick III."

Bishop Matthea explained Frederick III's intentions a little, and then said again,

"But whatever the purpose of Frederick III's actions, he did violate the Worms religious agreement, which stipulates that the right of bishop is vested in His Majesty the Pope, but I would like to remind His Majesty that in the Worms religious agreement, there is indeed no provision for the attribution of the right of appropriation, and Frederick III did not interfere in the bishop's right to appoint after removing Bishop Graton from the ordination, so it is difficult to grasp the scale of this."

Cardinal Matthea's words silenced Pius II, here I want to talk about the relationship between the Holy See and the Holy Roman Empire, legally speaking, if the Holy Roman Empire inherits the traditions of the Roman Empire, then the Holy See is under the Holy Roman Emperor, but in fact this is not the case, because it was the Holy See that sent the orthodoxy of the Western Roman Empire to the head of the Frankish Empire, so in the eyes of the Holy See, the Holy See is above the emperor,

But the rulers are not stupid, nor are they illiterate, they all know about Constantine the Great of the Roman Empire as the first Christian monarch, and they also know what the Holy See is all about, so many Holy Roman Emperors and Kings of the Kingdom of France have tried to restore the order to the era of the original Roman Empire, and they will rule everything in the world, which is the origin of the dispute between church power and imperial power.

"But what Frederick III did affected the prestige of the Holy See in the world, and the Pope, as the representative of the Lord on earth, and the Holy See as the body that assists the Pope in administering the world, should not be hit by anything or any action, otherwise it would be disloyalty to the Lord. It should be broken! ”

Cardinal Abraham was very strong in his teachings.

"The news from the Archbishop of Krakow, Caesarzlo of the Roman Empire took Prague, this matter is not clear for the time being, Frederick III still knows it, the Imperial Council held in Regensburg is not over, but Frederick III has the support of many nobles, maybe this is one of the reasons why he is tough on us,"

"No matter how dirty Laszló and Frederick III are, but after all, they are both children of the Habsburgs, Frederick III is still Laszlo's uncle, we think that Frederick III will not dare to send troops, but once the other side reaches a settlement, it will be us who will face Frederick III, which is not good news."

Another cardinal, McLeo, interjected at this point, suggesting a different kind of advice than Cardinal Abraham.

It can also be heard from the words of the other party that the Imperial Council held in 1459 has not yet completely ended, which shows how much it has dragged on.

"And what is Cardinal McLeo's opinion?"

Pius II felt that McLeo's statement was very correct, and the family ties were still relatively close in this era, which meant that László and Frederick III could reach a reconciliation in an instant, which could be very detrimental to the Holy See.

"My opinion is, delay, how long can it be delayed, and then during this time, make secret inquiries to Frederick III's court, we must know Frederick III's willingness to prepare, before we can decide whether to issue a law of breaking the door against Frederick III, of course, due to the complications within the Holy Roman Empire, I do not recommend a ban on the Holy Roman Empire, but the issuance of the abdication can also be used as a last resort to induce Frederick III to submit to the Holy See."

The three major sanctions, the breaking order is to remove the emperor's own religious membership, the ban on religion is to prohibit religious ceremonies in a region, only repentance and baptism before death are allowed, and the abdication order is the most terrifying, it forcibly lifts the subject's oath of allegiance to the lord, which means that the lord's subordinates can justifiably rebel against the lord.

"Cardinal McLeo's opinion is invaluable, His Majesty the Pope, our opinion agrees with Cardinal McLeo."

The other five cardinals agreed with Cardinal McLeo's idea, and the radical Cardinal Abraham had no choice but to acquiesce.

The so-called toughness is just a panic about losing his position, Pius II is now quite jealous of the delicate situation on the European continent, and the most important thing is that now that it has broken with the Eastern Orthodox Church, the Holy See can no longer lose the support of the secular rulers of Western Europe, otherwise he can imagine how Constantine XI will retaliate against the Holy See in the future, the Holy See has forced the previous Eastern Emperor to unify the Church several times, will Constantine XI not want to retaliate back?

"Let the Bishop of Trento negotiate with Frederick III, try to find out the will of the other party as much as possible, and then convey the news back to the Holy See, until then it is not allowed to make arbitrary claims, and everything shall be subject to the orders of the Holy See."

Pius II's orders are very conservative, which can also be seen from his real thoughts, the threat from Constantinople has surpassed that of the West, although the current government of Constantinople still maintains a close relationship with the Holy See, but Pius II's sense of distress is already very strong.

"In addition, I am still considering whether it is possible to promote some bishops in Germania to cardinal priesthood, and the size of the cardinal body will also be expanded."

As he spoke, Pius II dropped a bombshell.

"It's all up to you, Your Majesty, but if Frederick III insists on being hostile to the Holy See, then what you do today will only make people feel that the Holy See is very weak, and I am afraid that there will be a Pope in Avignon to oppose us."

Cardinal Matthea looked at Pius II meaningfully, then turned to leave.

Legally, the entire Holy See belongs to His Majesty the Pope, and the Holy See assists the Pope in the exercise of his duties, that is, the Pope can appoint and dismiss the clergy, including cardinals, at will, but this power is usually limited, and people do not want to see a Pope who does whatever he wants appear in the Holy See, so many times, the Pope also rules from the world and will not make much changes to personnel appointments.

Pius II's purpose was obvious, to win over the hearts and minds of the people of the Germanic regions, many of whom were the children of nobles, and when they returned home in the name of cardinals, how could the aristocratic families behind them not invest in them? In this way, it was possible to get the support of a large number of aristocratic families, which was not a small force.

"Let the Archbishop of Milan express his indignation at this, but we don't need to take a stand, so be it, you can leave on your own."

With a final command, Pius II left here, to be honest, Pius II's political vision and behavior are rare, and he is also one of the best among the popes of the past, probably because of the Renaissance education he received in his early years, and at the ideological level, Pius II is also very open-minded, and often has some whimsical ideas.

The actions of the Archbishop of Milan were an expression of the attitude of the Holy See, and if Frederick III had not said anything about it, Pius II's next action would have been foreshadowed, so as not to look hasty, after all, if there was no action for a while, and then suddenly there were some big moves, it would only not seem very dignified.

In the days that followed, the fury of the Archbishop of Milan contrasted sharply with the silence of the Holy See, but to Pius II's relief, Frederick III's plenipotentiary envoy had quietly arrived at the Holy See after pretending to return to Regensburg...

Some people died, but not completely......
