Looking at Sigismund, who was leaving with his sleeves up, Pope Martin V's eyes were bloodshot and his face was gloomy.

In later generations, when talking about medieval Europe, many people's first thought may be darkness, and the second thought is that the divine power is greater than the king's power of the deformed society.

But in reality, not all times Europe was like this, even in the Middle Ages, Europe was not exactly the same.

If the time is pushed back a little further, not a few hundred years, maybe just a few decades, Martin V, the pope, would dare to directly slap Sigismund's ear, even if Sigismund was the emperor of the Holy Roman Empire.

However, not right now.

The current Holy See, the current Pope, is far from the Holy See and the Pope when the divine right overrode the royal power.

At the very least, Martin V did not dare to rebel against Sigismund, because the reason why he was able to become the pope was actually the impetus of Sigismund.

All of this is due to the split in the Catholic Church.

In 1378, Pope Gregory XI died of illness, after Clement V had moved the Catholic Curia from Rome to Avignon, and the Roman people feared that the succession of the pope would lead to the complete fall of Rome.

The people of Rome at the time threatened to elect an Italian pope, or they would not give up.

Thus, in the city of Rome, when a large number of cardinals (cardinals) were not present in Rome, a chamber meeting of only sixteen cardinals was held.

But think about it, four Idalians, five legal persons, seven Limoges, each of them wanted to make themselves pope, and the result was naturally a stalemate.

In such a situation, a shield was pushed out, and this person was Urban VI.

However, Urban VI was a rather radical man, and after coming to power, he began a series of religious reforms, which caused a lot of resentment in the Holy See.

In the face of opposition from top to bottom, Urban VI fled with seven cardinals.

However, five of the seven cardinals were sewn into sacks on the way and sank to their deaths.

After fleeing to Idali, the two cardinals who escaped put their hands on the Gospels and swore that they would not have elected Urban VI in the first place had it not been for the death threats.

At this point, the Holy See was finally in chaos.

Invoking the regulations made by Pope Nicholas II at the Synod of Rome in 1059, the legal entity introduced the legal entity of Cardinal Robert of Geneva as Pope with the title of Clement VI.

But on 9 August, Urban VI was crowned, the Cardinal Conference was reorganized, and 29 nationals were appointed in one fell swoop, and the power was consolidated.

Next, the two popes attacked each other, excommunicated each other, insisted that they were the only legitimate heirs to the throne, and called each other "pseudo-popes".

This extreme schism lasted until 1409, when the two sides met in Pisa and decided to depose both popes at the same time and install a new pope, Alexander V.

However, the two old popes refused to abdicate because they had the support of different countries behind them, so an even more absurd scene happened.

Three popes exist at the same time.

Finally, in 1417, the cardinals, the ambassadors of 18 countries and the three popes were laughable and laughable entered the same room. A fourth pope, Martin V, was elected, and the first three popes were forced to submit.

Therefore, the current Holy See is actually far from the Holy See of the past, and the power of the Pope is far less than that of the Pope of the past.

At the very least, Martin V's ascension to the throne was the impetus of Sigismund, who was already confirmed to succeed the Holy Roman Emperor.

Thinking of this, the haze on Martin V's face deepened, but there was nothing he could do.

At the very least, the current he, the current Holy See, is really not enough to compete with the Holy Roman Empire.

However, he couldn't sit still, because he knew very well that once things changed uncontrollably, or even defeated, he, the Pope, would definitely be pushed out by Sigismund as a substitute for the dead.

The top priority is to find a way to choose yourself, or find another substitute for the dead ghost......

Thinking of this, Martin V's eyes suddenly lit up.

It seems, it's not that difficult?

It's just that Martin V never thought about whether they would lose when facing the Ming army.

He never thought that the whip of God, which had made Europe unable to lift its head, would add a Zhu Zhan after Attila, Temujin and Timur, who was only half a half.

——

Qian Yong and Zhu Sanfeng, the husband and wife, were separated again, but they didn't feel anything about it, because they had long been used to it.

Previously, Qian Yong had been stationed in the Wa Kingdom, and the couple had only met twice in two years, so that now, the separation of the two places seems to be the norm for their couple.

Moreover, they are also different from the average couple.

In this era, husbands and wives will bring some extra ties to a greater or lesser extent, but Qian Yong and Zhu Sanfeng are different.

The reason why the two of them were able to become husband and wife came from that special experience, in which they hugged together for warmth and laid a deep emotional foundation in that dark experience.

In fact, that is, Qian Yong is more withdrawn, if he is the same as a normal official general, it is inevitable that someone will say bad things about Zhu Sanfeng in his ear.

After all, Zhu Sanfeng's experience is there, and it will not disappear.

Therefore, for the two of them, it seems that not merging with the world is the ultimate destination.

"Want to go?"

Back in Burgas, Zhu Zhanyan looked at Zhu Sanfeng who was absent-minded, and said with a little ridicule.

"Where is His Royal Highness." Zhu Sanfeng was stunned when he heard this, and then laughed.

"I'm used to it, but I haven't been in such a cold place before, it's just that I'm a little unused to it, and Qian Yong is at the mouth of the coast, so I'm a little worried."

……

Listening to Zhu Sanfeng's words, Zhu Zhanyan also sighed.

"yes, it's cold......"

Thinking of this, Zhu Zhanyan was also a little annoyed.

If it weren't too cold, he could have gone up the Danube and straight towards the Kingdom of Hungary.

However, there is no way, the weather is the only truly uncontrollable factor.

Zhu Zhanyan can control people's hearts and control the gap in strength, but he can't control this.

"Alright, don't think about that."

I don't know how long I sighed, Zhu Zhanyan suddenly shook his head, as if he wanted to throw these useless thoughts out of his mind.

"Instead of thinking about it, why don't you help me fulfill my promise?"

"Promise?" Zhu Sanfeng didn't react a little.

"yes, promise." Zhu Zhanyan stood up and looked at the winter sea outside.

"When my grandfather died, I couldn't respond to the sky because of those messy things, not only did I not see his old man for the last time, but I couldn't even go back to his old man's tomb."

"At that time, I made up my mind to let everyone in the world criticize and mourn with me."

"But, because ......"

Speaking of this, Zhu Zhanyan suddenly stopped, and then shook his head and smiled.

"In short, grandpa's three-year festival is coming soon, and I want to send him a rich enough sacrifice before that."
