Chapter 283

There was a moment of silence in the room, and Dewey frowned, "how could that be? Since this micheus was able to integrate the three schools and became the first Pope, surely everyone should know his origin and identity. Why... "

"Speaking of his majesty micheus, his personal experience is legendary." Ramos still plays the role of storyteller, while maximus remains silent.

"His majesty micheus was not a leading figure of any school before. In fact, when he recounts his personal history, he is actually a priest in a small local church. He and his majesty Aragorn, the founding emperor of the Loran Empire, were fellow countrymen and old acquaintances. His majesty Aragon was born in a small noble family in the south central part of the Loran continent, while his majesty micheus was a priest in a small religious institution of the Church of light in that area.

It was a small religious center in a not prosperous town. There were few people in the center, and there were not many clergy. His majesty micheus was born in a devout family. When he was 16 years old, he became a clergyman. When he was 22 years old, because the old priest died of illness, how could he become a new priest... Because there was no one else at that time. As we all know, when his majesty Aragon was young, he had a few years of adventure outside, and he also caused a lot of trouble. He was once captured by the local authorities at that time. It is said that for a period of time, his majesty Aragon fled back to his hometown and did not dare to go home, so he hid in the religious center in charge of his majesty micheus. It is said that there is a deep friendship between them.

After his majesty Aragon made his fortune, he took charge of the power of a small country. It seems that in all historical records, his majesty micheus appeared around his majesty Aragon from that time. According to historical records, at that time, Aragon gave micheus the power to summon believers to serve for the army within his own sphere of influence.

Before that, there was no record of the cooperation between micheus and Aragon. Say a word of disrespect. It seems that they suddenly came together... Of course, later generations speculated that there was a saying that was accepted by most people, that is, in fact, when his majesty Aragon set up his troops, micheus was already a close comrade in arms of Aragon. And later. In order to help Aragorn in the war of reunification, micheus went to various schools of the Church of light on the mainland and persuaded many people to participate in the cause of reunification. He used his excellent ability to accomplish this feat.

Then. In the war of reunification, the Church of light deepened its cooperation with Aragon step by step, and micheus, as the contact between the two sides, played a role from the beginning. Step by step, he gradually controlled the power of many churches. After all, he was originally a priest of the church. If it is the Church of light that helped Aragorn to complete the great cause of building the Empire, it may also be said that the cause of Aragorn objectively created the status of Hughes in the church.

After all, in the beginning, he acted as the intermediary of the alliance between Aragon and the church. Because he was also a priest, he gradually became the spokesman of the cooperation between the church and Aragon. last. In the great cause of unifying the land, he made great contributions and gained great prestige in the church. Finally, he won the heartfelt support of all people and formally established the loose church into a tight organization: the temple of light! And he himself became the first Pope.

Objectively speaking, the temple of light can have today's situation. His majesty micheus has made a great contribution. Without his efforts, the Church of light is still a loose organization. It may not even become the orthodoxy on the mainland. Moreover, without his efforts, the three schools of that year would not have cooperated.

His majesty is a smart leader. He is good at communicating, connecting and uniting forces from all walks of life, so as to unite us and work hard together. Unfortunately, even if he was as clever as micheus, he could not completely eradicate the sectarian differences in the church. Therefore, when he was alive, he could temporarily unite all the sects. But in fact, when the mainland was unified and he became Pope, the sectarian differences within the church rose again, and in the last few years of micheus' life, he was able to unite all the sects, Almost all of them are spent on how to settle the differences of power struggle within the church.

Moreover, in the last few years of his term of office, in fact, according to the conjecture of later generations, his majesty has lost control of the following schools of thought. After all, before the reunification of the mainland, when we have a common goal, we can still listen to the persuasion of Hughes, put aside our differences for the time being and work together. However, after the reunification of the mainland, there will be no common enemy and common goal, so the cornerstone of "unity" will no longer exist, and micheus will no longer be able to find a reason for us to unite.

He died three years after the establishment of the Empire, and his majesty Aragon personally presided over his funeral. His majesty micheus died on the hospital bed. What makes people helpless is that... "

At this point, rums sighed, as if he could not bear to go on. He looked at maximus and hesitated.

"Go ahead, Ramses." Maximus sighed: "this secret affair is a scandal in the temple, but it's meaningless to cover up this disgraceful affair. Now that we have said so much today, let's just go on with it all! "

At first, rums looked a little obscene, but now he still felt pathetic. He took a deep breath and said slowly, "Duke tulip, only a few schools of thought in the church know this. Moreover, it has always been secret since then, and it will never be said to the outside world. Because, this matter is really disgraceful. "

"Well, why is it disgraceful?" Dewey frowned: "is..." he suddenly whispered: "is this micheus killed?"

Rams was startled and shook his head: "of course not! In his later years, his majesty, though he lost control of the disputes between different schools, had a very high reputation, especially among the lower believers. Very respected. If anyone dares to harm him, he will face the anger of millions of believers on the mainland! No one will do such a thing! And... And... Although several schools are fighting fiercely, they dare not do such things as sabotaging the Pope. "

Du Wei sneered and said in his heart: don't you dare? I can't see

After calming down, rums continued: "in fact... It is said. Well, it's just said. In the last days of his Majesty's death, he had lost his power and was put under house arrest by people of several schools. He couldn't drive anyone. There was only one old servant who was loyal to him. Both the Yemenis and the Mosa sent people to watch him closely and ask him to publish his will. "

Du Wei eyebrows a pick: "do you want him to book the successor of the Pope candidates?"

"No, I don't want to. When he became the Pope, micheus had already thought about this problem, so he announced the Pope's succession bill early, when he was still in power. It is not the Pope himself. The bill announced at that time was that the Presbyterian council would vote on the merits of the Archbishop of several dioceses and finally select the best person. To be the heir. In this way, the position of the Pope was avoided and became the exclusive office of some ambitious people. It is also a very correct way to divide power. "

"What's the use of micheus' will?" Dewey didn't understand.

Rums said with a bitter smile: "that's the problem! At that time, it was less than two or three years after the establishment of the Empire, and his majesty micheus was no longer able to do so. If at that time several archbishops of the dioceses were evaluated for their merits... Your highness, you think, the war of reunification has just ended. Several archbishops of the diocese, to say the least, have made outstanding contributions in the war of unification! On this point, no one is particularly outstanding. At that time, if we compared the merits purely, then we were almost the same. Well, this time. The Presbyterian group made a careful assessment. Since we can't take merit as the standard, then... Emotional ticket. It's the most important thing! "

"Emotional ticket?"

"Yes." Rums sighed: "this is also a great contribution of his majesty micheus to the temple! I said before that in the fight between the Mosa faction and the Yeni faction, the Montenegrin faction has always been in a neutral state. It was by making full use of the neutral organization of the Montenegrin faction that michus integrated the internal contradictions. And after he succeeded the Pope, he made the biggest, and at present, very smart move, that is, the establishment of the Presbyterian group! All the members of the Presbyterian group, most of them are Heishan sect! This is a neutral sect, and their doctrines lay particular stress on keeping abreast of the world. They also adhere to their own principles, practice hard, have a good disposition, and are pure and honest. At the same time, they are not afraid of external oppression.

They are the best candidates to act as the place of arbitration and will not be tempted by power. Therefore, at that time, almost all the local Presbyterians were from the Heishan sect. On weekdays, the Presbyterian group does not assume any power, nor does it participate in the power and management of the temple. It only practices hard. The name of the Presbyterian seems to be just a short honor. But when the Pope inherits it, the importance of the status of the "elder" will be highlighted. Moreover, the Montenegrin faction itself is very powerful. Neither the Mosha faction nor the Yeni faction dare to easily provoke or challenge them. At that time, the Presbyterian group of the Heishan school, as the last voting right holder of the Pope, was unable to make a final judgment after evaluating the merits of several archbishops, and at that time, the emotional vote was very crucial.... "

"You mean..." Dewey frowned.

"The name of the genre." Rums said in a deep voice: "at that time, it was believed that the position of micheus would determine the final position of Pope. Although micheus had no right to directly establish a new pope, after all, he was too popular. Most importantly, he has never publicly stated whether he belongs to Yemeni or Mosha. At that time, both sides believed that if micheus could admit which school he belonged to at this time, it would undoubtedly become the last weight leading to the final tilt!! Do you think, Duke, when the candidates of Yemeni and Mosha are equal, if at that time, micheus stands up and says that he is in fact of a certain school, then... Because of his great prestige, all the Presbyterians will vote for the successor of the school he said! "

"I see, so at that time, they forced him to admit his own school before he was in his hospital bed, right?"

Rums blushed, closed his mouth and could not speak. But maximus said at this time: "yes... Your highness, what you said is the fact at that time. This is really a big scandal! When the great Pope was dying, in order to fight for power, the leaders of the two schools threatened and bullied the great man in front of his bed... This kind of action is really shameful! Although I am a Mosha, I feel deeply humiliated at the Mosha's way of doing it. "“ The former things were done by the former people, and the ugly things done by those guys don't need future generations to bear the responsibility. " Du Wei waved his hand and said, "what I care about is... And then what?"“ Then, what happened made the internal division of the temple of light last for thousands of years... And finally, the temple of light broke with the royal family! Since then, the two sides have been seemingly in harmony with each other, and the struggle for supremacy between theocracy and imperial power has lasted for thousands of years, but it has not been eliminated to this day. On the contrary, it has become more and more fierce! " The speaker was maximus. His face was helpless. On his old face, he had an enigmatic expression: "Your Highness, things are more secret after that. Do you really want to hear it?" Dewey understood that this kind of secret "story", want to listen to words, but have to pay a price. But he seemed very relaxed: "I said it at the beginning. If I don't finish it, I can't sleep at night. Monseigneur, now we are in the same boat, you... Say it
