Voltaire once said that the Holy Roman Empire is neither holy, nor Roman, nor empire.
This illustrious Empire became more and more fragmented later, and even scattered, with more than 300 vassal states, free cities, and 1700 Knights directly under the Empire.
If we use the ancient Chinese "great unity", "family and world" and "orthodoxy" to understand the Holy Roman Empire, it is easy to reduce one's feet to fit one's duties and deviate from the understanding.
So it makes sense to think about Voltaire.
The Holy Roman Empire since Charles IV, the emperor of the empire is no longer crowned by the Pope, the pious anointing ceremony is no longer staged, what about the holy?
Charlemagne, the first ancestor of the Holy Roman Empire, is known as the father of Europe, but his blood is Germanic after all. In the eyes of the ancient Romans, they were savages nomadic to the east of the Rhine and north of the Danube. What about Rome?
After Charles IV, the hereditary system within the Empire has completely changed into an electoral system. The emperor was elected by seven lords, not by the emperor alone. There are many states in the Empire. What is the Empire?
The sacred, non Roman and non imperial gods have long disappeared. Most of the princes he ruled in the past have already changed their flags. Only the loyal Liechtenstein family has been passed down to this day and has its own fiefdoms.
Now, Liechtenstein may be the only one who still misses holy Rome and Habsburg, the divine royal family. Only Liechtenstein's flag still carries the crown of Holy Roman Empire.
Tourism is one of the pillar industries in Liechtenstein. Last year, the country with a population of 30000 received more than 200000 tourists and 110000 hotels and small hotels. But from the heart, there's no fun here.
Dagong castle is not allowed for tourists. Except for the museums in Vaduz, only skiing is allowed in winter. If you can't stop the car, you may slip into Switzerland.
Liechtenstein is rich.
What do Europeans look at Africans? What do Swiss look at other Europeans? And Liechtenstein look at Swiss with the same eyes.
But because of the long history of architecture, Liechtenstein is full of old and even shabby feeling, which has nothing to do with wealth and magnificence on the surface. As for the scenery between mountains and forests, we can only see different views. Is there really such a big difference between mountains?
All in all, Liechtenstein's only selling point is "pocket", but it is not really an ideal tourist destination. It's more suitable for a star like Zhuo Yang to hide in the world and steal a few days' laziness comfortably and quietly.
"Koko, how would it feel for me to pay some money and rent your country for two days and find some king?" Zhuoyang said.
"Why don't you give me the money? I promise to serve you like a king."
"Honey, how can you Like a hooligan. "
"Hee hee..."
The Liechtenstein family is perhaps the most low-key royal family in Europe. The palace of Vaduz is not a little magnificent, but a gray and old castle. But in fact, the Liechtenstein family has much more money than the British royal family and is the richest royal family in Europe.
Liechtenstein's banking system, which is part of the Swiss banking system and an important part of the international financial system, shares the same line with Swiss banks.
The Liechtenstein family actually controls two of the top ten banks in Liechtenstein and participates in the other three. The assets of these banks alone exceed 30 billion US dollars.
But in recent years, the great recession of the European economy has also affected the profits of Liechtenstein, so the Duke can't wait to jump out and cry out that the life can't go on.
At the end of last year, Liechtenstein introduced the concept of "state leasing". Anyone who spends 40000 pounds, or 425000 yuan, can be a "temporary king" in Liechtenstein for a day.
Rent starts in two days and ends in seven days.
The temporary king can get a symbolic key, travel around the country in a carriage, and order the police to give you a way in front of him. You can listen to how the council meets, ski for free, enter the museum free of charge and enjoy free lunch, lunch and red wine.
That's it, or what else do you want?
You can say that the Liechtenstein family is very practical, or they don't want to make money.
Of course, Zhuo Yang is only joking. In fact, he only bought a limited time travel ticket for sand carving, so he would not do it.
Zhuoyang is also very busy in this wild mountain paradise. He has been tearing down the cardamom all day. Tear it off, stick it on, tear it off and stick it on.
Two people who love each other deeply stay together, and the entertainment is very monotonous.
It was thought that the final of the European Championship when Mars collided with the earth was quite monotonous. In 90 minutes, there was an unimaginable one-sided scene.
Balotelli magic no longer, this day he is just a mediocre mortal, Italy is only in the first ten minutes of symbolism and Spain you come to me.The 14th minute, Harvey midfield pass, Iniesta accurate straight into the right side of the restricted area, Fabregas get rid of Balzaretti baseline back to the middle, David Silva in front of the goal 6 meters header.
1: After 0, Italy can't fight back at all. It can only resist again.
Jordi alba is the biggest discovery in Spain this year. The 22-year-old Valencia left back made up the last short board of the Spanish defence, and his attack ability is as dazzling as the winger.
In the 41st minute, Casillas kicked off with a big foot, and Fabregas headed back from the left side of the front court. Alba handed the ball to Harvey. After Alba inserted the ball at a high speed, he sent the straight plug. Alba single shot into the left side of the forbidden area 12 meters away from the door and pushed the left foot into the net, 2:0. It's Alba's first goal for the national team, and in the first half Spain will set the stage for the championship.
Born in ramasia, Alba was loaned by Barcelona in 2008. Just at the end of this season, Barcelona announced that they would recover alba in the new season. He will wear the No. 18 Jersey to fight for red and blue.
In the second half, Prandelli dispatched the general, and in a short time, he threw out all three exchange places in his hand.
In the 60th minute of the competition, Motta, who replaced Huang Ting's Meng Er, injured his right thigh muscle and was carried off by a stretcher, leaving Italy with only 10 players.
In the 84th minute, Harvey broke Pirlo's direct pass in front of the court. Torres pushed into the lower right corner 13 meters in front of the goal, 3-0.
In the 88th minute, Javier made a straight pass in the middle of the road, Torres broke into the left side of the forbidden area offside, facing Buffon's back, Mata pushed his left foot 10 meters from the gate into the net, 4:0.
The Italians are about to be beaten and cried.
During the stoppage, Casillas called out to Portuguese referee polenka: "Hey, referee, you can whistle. You should leave some dignity for Italy."
Pronca blew the whistle at the end of the 2012 European Championship. Spain became the first team to win the championship in a row. 4-0 was also the most significant score in the final history of the European Championship.
