Chapter 14: The Devil's Idea
readx;? Everyone expected Chen Changsheng to come up with a perfect solution, including the most stubborn old school bishops. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
Those old bishops looked at Chen Changsheng's gaze a little complicated.
He was a student of Shang Xingzhou, a young man trained by Merisha, an undisputed Xining lineage, an orthodox heir of the state religion, and logically speaking, he should be on their side, but he did not do so.
He reused the King of Linghai and Siyuan Daoren, and after executing the Baishi Daoist in Wenshui City, he did not think about appeasing the old faction, but let Hu Thirty-two, the new bishop with an extremely bad reputation, take the place of the Baishi Daoist.
It is precisely these things that have caused strong dissatisfaction with the old state religion to lead to today's situation.
But up to this point, no one had thought or dared to remove him from the Pope's position.
They still have hope for Chen Changsheng.
It's just that they themselves don't know what they want Chen Changsheng to do.
Bishop Umegawa's body was still in the night outside the temple.
This is Xu Yourong's choice.
Chen Changsheng could follow the trend, but he wouldn't.
Because of the Tao he has practiced since he was a child, he can't do such a thing as self-deception no matter what.
Although this may be a must-have quality for those who achieve great things.
He suddenly thought of what Strange Red had said in the White Emperor City.
Of course, there is a big difference between the two, but an analogy can be made.
He remembered what Archbishop Merissa had said to him many years ago before he died.
"When I was walking on the Shinto road just now, I remembered what happened before the Great Hajj test that year. ”
Chen Changsheng's face showed a smile of memory.
Everyone knew that he was talking about Archbishop Merissa, announcing to the entire continent that he was going to be the first of the Great Dynasties.
The memories did not continue, and the atmosphere that might have been moving towards warmth became tense again.
Because a cold and sharp voice rang out from the crowd.
"You killed his only nephew!"
The hall became eerily quiet.
Chen Changsheng was silent.
Yes, someone asked Mei Chuan to go to the National Education Academy to teach him, just to make it difficult for him.
Whether to kill or not to kill, it is a difficult word.
So Tang Thirty-six didn't hesitate, turned around and went to Xiaolou, ready to raise his sword and kill Mei Chuan.
So Xu Yourong killed Mei Chuan.
They are all the people closest to him, and they understand his mind and mood best, so they don't let him choose and don't let him bear his notoriety.
But at that time, he didn't stop Tang Thirty-six, so this was also his choice.
Those above the sea of stars return to the kingdom of God.
What is filthy is dust.
"I will bear all the charges I deserve. ”
Chen Changsheng looked at the crowd and said calmly.
He did not use warm memories to bridge the rift between the old and the new, and did not give a convincing reason.
There is no explanation, and naturally there is no solution.
He chose to bear it calmly.
There was an uproar in the Hall of Light, and the exclamations kept ringing out.
The expressions of the priests were constantly changing, and they were extremely complex.
Some people are disappointed, some are relieved, some are confused, and some are confused.
Chen Changsheng is willing to bear all the charges.
The question is, who under the stars can condemn the Pope?
This is not the introspection of a saint, but the coldest declaration.
There were several sighs of disappointment and questioning in the crowd again.
Chen Changsheng held the scepter and stood quietly in place, without speaking again.
The King of the Sea walked to the front of the stage, took out the dossier that had been prepared a long time ago, unfolded it with both hands, and began to read it.
As his indifferent voice called out one name after another, the noise in the hall gradually ceased and became quiet.
All that remained was the sound of heavier and heavier breathing and increasingly dense footsteps.
Those black deacons of the Heavenly Judgment Temple, who were pale and disgusting to look at, brought out more than a dozen bishops from the crowd.
One of the three cardinals who presided over the affairs of the Patriarchy was dismissed on the spot.
There was still no emotion in the voice of the King of the Sea, as clear as the sharpest of knives.
He read out the cardinal's indictment.
These charges have nothing to do with tonight, but they are very clear and the evidence is conclusive.
The cardinal did not resist, and calmly followed the black-clad deacons out of the hall.
Looking at his somewhat gloomy back, Zhuang Zhilian and the others' expressions changed slightly.
The atmosphere in the hall became more and more tense and depressing, and finally a hole was torn open at a certain moment.
A bishop who had been dragged to the temple gate struggled to turn around, looked at the stage and shouted, "Are you going to be a ruthless king?"
People heard that this bishop was the one who questioned Chen Changsheng in the first place.
Chen Changsheng did not answer, holding the scepter in his hand, and stood quietly on the stage.
Zhuang Zhilian finally stood up, saluted calmly and said, "Do you want to wait for the archbishop to break through the barrier before making a final decision?"
Countless eyes fell on him.
Everyone heard what he meant.
The Religious Office is now under the direct jurisdiction of Mao Qiuyu.
Mao Qiuyu is about to become the only Divine Realm powerhouse in the current state religion.
Zhuang Zhilian's words are a reminder, and can even be understood as a threat.
The King of Linghai glanced at him expressionlessly, did not speak, and an undisguised killing intent appeared in his cold eyes.
Zhuang Zhilian's expression remained unchanged, just looking at Chen Changsheng.
It was at this time that an unexpected person stepped forward.
Archbishop Eucalyptus said with a solemn expression: "Between the saint planets and seas, it is like facing the abyss......
"From the end of the Daoyuan Fu Overview. ”
Chen Changsheng didn't let her finish this sentence.
He turned to look at her and said, "This passage speaks of awe. ”
Archbishop Eucalyptus bowed and replied, "Yes." ”
Chen Changsheng said to her: "In this regard, I am better than you. ”
Eucalyptus looked slightly stunned, and then saw several figures in the night outside the hall.
Tonight, Bishop Umegawa's body was able to be transported into the palace because of the help of those people.
What is awe? or is it the life of a loved one or a subordinate?
She was silent for a long time, then sighed and said, "How do you know?"
Chen Changsheng did not answer this question.
Earlier, behind the stone wall, Anwar said something in a trembling voice when he was tidying up his clothes.
Archbishop Eucalyptus gave up the question, and said in a slightly awkward voice, "What have you decided to do with me?"
Chen Changsheng said: "I said that I am willing to bear all the charges. ”
Archbishop Eucalyptus said with emotion: "I see, I will give up the position of Archbishop of the Templar. ”
She had no intention of betraying the Pope.
Today is the first time she has accepted the persuasion of the old school and helped the other party to do something.
Because she wanted to see what His Majesty the Pope was going to do with it.
Now that she has seen the results, she is a little emotional, a little disappointed.
It was not because he was exposed that he lost his position as a national religious giant, but because Chen Changsheng's handling was too tough and ruthless.
She whispered, "Is this the ruthlessness of the saint?"
"No, some people want me to become a hero, some people want me to become a hero, some people want me to become a sage, some people want me to become a saint. ”
Chen Changsheng was silent for a while, and said, "But in fact, I am still the young Taoist priest who entered Beijing to participate in the Great Dynasty Examination. ”
Archbishop Eucalyptus asked seriously, "In that case, why bother?"
Chen Changsheng's brows were slightly furrowed, and his snort was slightly thick.
Only those closest to him can see that he is in a very bad mood at this time.
"Have you never thought about a question? It was never me myself who wanted to be pope. ”
"I don't know whose idea it was. Maybe it's Uncle's, maybe it's Archbishop Mei's, maybe it's Master's?"
"They asked me to be the Pope, and they didn't ask me if I wanted to do it before. ”
"So the things I do, they want me to do. ”
He was silent for a moment, then said, "But these things are not what I want to do. ”
"If the Pope has to be such a person, then maybe I'm not fit to be the Pope. ”
He looked at the bishops of the Patriarchy and said, "If you have any opinions, leave it at that." ”
The Hall of Light was silent, silent.
Some priests didn't understand Chen Changsheng's words.
Some priests thought they understood, but they couldn't believe it.
The King of Linghai was stunned, Si Yuandaoren's eyes widened, and Hu Thirty-two was thoughtful.
Archbishop Eucalyptus was a little dazed, wondering if he had done something wrong. )
