Please enter the text. The cold winter wind blows across the wild west coast of Fei Ze, in a land of silvery white, the low-hanging grass stems are covered with a layer of hoarfrost, like a huge white carpet decorating the whole land into A white scene, the sun has not yet risen from the distant horizon, only a beautiful long red line is left on the distant horizon, just like on the huge carpet of heaven and earth, in Rovka Since the edge of the city is embroidered with a simple and exquisite blanket edge,
In the sound of a crisp horse hoof, a group of black-armored cavalry with a white thorn flower badge on their armor passed the red pine gate of Rovka city like a wind, the fluffy horse mane combed and shiny, Fluttering in the wind, along with the red velvet cape behind the cavalrymen, they were like a large group of red flames. These cavalrymen wore uniform black armor and a pointed helmet with an iron-clad face on their heads. The torch at the gate of the city shone through. The bodies of these cavalrymen were all covered by the black armor on their bodies. In silence, the imperial soldiers on both sides of the city gate, without exception, stood up straight, with their right hands on their left chests, with envy. , The eyes of admiration and admiration, watching the black armored cavalry who are riding their horses,
"Your Majesty, I just got the news yesterday that the saint of the Sky Temple was injured, and the high priest Palschenna insisted on rushing back. The subordinates really couldn't stop it, they could only do it. Please search (product% book ￥) ￥Net) Read the most complete! The fastest newest novel..." The Imperial Navy Minister Dusterenkai walked over from the other side with a look of shame, and took the snow-covered cloak from His Majesty, who had just dismounted, his mouth. Li reported an unexpected situation
"Have you figured out the specifics? Which side acted first?"
The fat man shook his hand and walked up the steps with a blue face. He asked the military to warn those who tried to disadvantage Palschenna, but he did not expect that these guys found that they could not start with Palschena. Afterwards, he actually set his target on the newly selected saint,
It may be an accident." Dusterenkai followed. He said with embarrassment as he walked.
"An accident? What do you mean?" The fat man stopped on the steps and rushed back overnight against the wind and snow, but he didn't just hear the accident.
The two sides of the temple have been making a lot of trouble recently. With the news that Palschenna made it clear that they will not return in the south, the two sides have reached the final moment of tension for the future position of the high priest of the temple. It is the original faction headed by the original sacrificial faction. It is argued that the current development of the Sky Temple has deviated from the doctrine of the temple, and that the prerequisite for serving as a high priest is basically a person with ten years of sacrificial qualifications. In this way, the piety of the high priest of the temple will be maintained, and the new faction believes that the temple is no longer what it used to be. It is no longer a small sect that stopped on the island of Salander, but has tens of millions of believers throughout the empire. The first state religion of more than sixty provinces, such a super religion, compared with the old-fashioned piety, it needs a leader who can adapt to the current situation.
"It was indeed an accident" Dusterenkai explained with an awkward expression
"This happened too suddenly. I heard that it was because of a debt dispute. During the economic crisis in Lisbon, the father of the new saint borrowed large sums of money from many big businessmen in the name of the saint, and bought them. The depressed iron, as a result, the Lisboa incident was going through smoothly. Not only did all the losses go in, but also hundreds of thousands of debts. The incident broke out when everyone was collecting debts, and it happened that the holy woman of the temple came home to visit on that day. Being detained by these creditors, fortunately, the Lisboa Supervision Department quickly stepped in to control the situation, but it was still inevitable that the saint was slightly injured. This was a very common thing, but it still caused a lot of shock inside the temple. "
"Vibration?" Fatty's eyes narrowed slightly
Dusterenkai paused and hesitated and said, "Some people say that among the creditors who have seized the saint, several of them are Salanders and are closely related to the primitive faction of the Sky Temple! So they belong to It is estimated that this matter may be someone who wants to stigmatize the saint’s reputation. After all, the daughter of a person who has not repaid the debt, even the saint will be spurned by others. According to the information of the subordinates, those who demand the new appointment Most of the supporters of the priests who are able to adapt to the current situation have been able to enter the temple management in the name of the new saint. If the injury of the new saint is enlarged, the original faction can justify purging these people, and even May ask the empire to re-elect the saint"
"If that's the case, it's really hard to say that there is no tricky"
Fatty's eyes flickered, and he glanced coldly at the corner of his mouth. On the day the saint returned home, he went to form a group to collect debts. The act was too fake.
The plan to cancel the high priest and set up the ruling council of the Order is only confirmed in his heart. Apart from Palschenna, no one else should know that the Sky Temple is now the first state religion of the empire, the new saint The female was personally appointed by herself. At the beginning, the selection of the saints of the Sky Cult from among the common people was the necessary means for the empire to completely suppress the divine power of the Sky Cult. These original priests really dare to think about anything, and the fat man feels a little annoyed. It was in the fat man’s impression that the new saint was just a child who didn’t understand anything! It has only become a tool for power struggle, even if it is so, such a ubiquitous means is a bit too much, the guys in the temple, the elite are still thinking about the recovery of the gods, this is absolutely not allowed!
"This matter is handed over to your Admiralty Department, so that the father of the new saint is an agreement merchant in charge of the material procurement of your Admiralty Department, which can reduce a lot of unnecessary guesses"
The fat man hesitated for a moment and said to Dustlenko, "As for the investigation results on the bright side, it is simple and there is no problem. The new saint’s father is a very innocent and excellent businessman with no foreign debts. As for the slander The Admiralty’s purpose is to protect the merchants of the agreement and needs to be detained and thoroughly investigated!"
"Seizure? Isn’t it wrong to do this?" Dusteren was shocked. The seizure of businessmen because of the investigation was slanderous, which in itself showed a biased stance, which can be said to be naked. It's not fair, but listening to the emperor's meaning is to completely suppress this matter. Indeed, facing a behemoth like the Imperial Admiralty, what a few merchants are! Besides, Lisboa, where the Sky Temple is located, is also one of the important base camps of the Imperial Navy. As the largest maritime trade center in the middle of the empire, the Imperial Navy exists like a patron saint, just for such a thing. Isn’t it worthwhile to let the Imperial Admiralty go so far?
At any rate, the Imperial Navy Department is also one of the two major military departments of the Empire that competes with the Imperial Army Department. The entire inland sea area is controlled by the Imperial Navy Department. How to convert it into land area, I am afraid it is also half the size of Nordic Barrow
"The empire will soon reform the temple, abolish the high priest's inheritance system, and replace it by the empire's priests." The emperor clearly saw the doubt in Dustlenko's heart. Nose snorted, "This incident will inevitably cause an uproar within the temple. It's good to say that those new factions that advocate power sharing. They are originally emerging groups and want to gain more voice in the temple. The sacrificial group is right. It is the organization that the other party wants most, and the biggest resistance should be the temple primitives. The task of the Admiralty is to thoroughly check these primitives through the wound of the saint. I don’t believe it. The guy's foundation will be much cleaner!"
"Yes. The subordinate understands"
Dusterenkai showed a stunned look. It turned out to be like this. This is the empire showing its power. Dusterenkai has been stationed in Salander for a long time, and he is no stranger to these Salander primitives. Most of the predecessors of these Salander primitive sects were former Salander nobles. Some of them lost their southern territories during the invasion of the Normans, were treated unfairly in Kyoto in Sarand, and had to join the temple, and some were after the empire conquered Sarand, in order to avoid the empire’s treatment of the nobles. Of cleaning. Throwing into the Salander sky to teach avoiding disasters, how many of such a group of nobles who flee from disasters in wars are hard-necked? It was the hard-necked people who died in the battle that year. The remaining group is a group of cartilage heads that see the wind. His Majesty's hand can be regarded as a soft knife to kill people without seeing blood. Let these primitive sects know through the saint's injury. The empire has enough power in its hands to make them disappear justifiably. As long as these primitive sects lower their heads, the empire will have no resistance to the reform of the Sky Temple!
In the harbor, the fat man stepped on an imperial navy transport ship that was raising its sails. At the bow of the ship, the high priest of the temple, Palschena, in a white sacrificial robe, was looking at him with a pair of shiny and beautiful eyes. The expression is complex, the sea breeze is blowing in the white sacrificial robe, the white shell-like teeth gently bit on the ruddy lips, and a soft sigh
"You are still here after all"
"Why are you leaving? Don't you want to unlock the Prophet's Diary?" The fat man stopped and took a deep breath. His eyes were sharp and cold. He heard a strong tone from Palschenna's tone. The meaning of farewell
Parschenna said in a slightly hoarse voice, "I know what you want to say, but this time, I must go back, because I know that you will use this matter to cleanse the primitive sect, although I also I don’t agree with them very much, but after all, they are all Salander nobles, and there are even many people in them. They can be regarded as my relatives more or less. I can’t pretend that I don’t know anything, watching them fall on the empire’s butcher knife. Down!"
The two looked at each other and were silent,
"Everyone, let's go down first." The Imperial Admiral Dusterenkai looked embarrassed, waved his hand to the surrounding Imperial sailors, and then left with the sailors, leaving only a man and a woman on the deck. This kind of thing is still left to the emperor to solve it by himself
"It's just an investigation, not a cleansing. It doesn't necessarily require killing"
The fat man sighed helplessly. As expected, Palschenna is indeed the leader who has been in charge of the Sky Temple all year round. She is very sensitive to events. She has just assigned Dustrum Kai to take charge of this matter. Even if she had a face like a wall, she didn’t know what to say for a while. Thinking about it, Palschenna, as the saint of the Sky Cult, then became the high priest of the Sky Cult, and she herself was Saran. It is so difficult for the great aristocrat who is one of the best in virtue to make such a decision between his tribe and men. In a sense, Palschenna’s departure may be a break with his man. It is imperative for the empire to reform the sky religion, and it will spare no effort to eliminate resistance! But will I really do something with Palschenna? The fat man also regretted in his heart, he should not inform Palschenna of the imperial reform plan in advance
"I hope your Majesty can promise that if I can persuade the primitive sects to give up their position, you will let them go!"
Parskina's beautiful eyes flickered, and the tone of her voice showed a bit of pleading. The fat man said that he does not necessarily kill, but basically it means that he will kill, but it kills fewer people.
For the Primitive Sect inside the temple, Palschena still knows that it is the most pious existence in the temple. Although there are many people with different ideas, they have truly served the sky for more than ten years. There are also many people who have experienced the glorious era of sky religion theocratic rule, and they have also experienced the suppression of the empire. They are also the people who are most concerned about the current situation of sky religion. If these pious primitive believers all fall in the purge of the empire , Then what is left of the sky teach? A group of profit-seeking businessmen? Or a group of sacrifices fighting for power? Obviously, the structure of the sacrificial group mentioned by the emperor was undoubtedly prepared for these people. The true devout believers were either squeezed out of the core of power or washed out by the empire as resistance!
Under Palschenna’s decisive gaze~IndoMTL.com~ The fat man knew that he could not stop the high priest from leaving, and said categorically, "Okay, I can promise you that as long as they don’t block the reform of the sky, the empire It won’t hurt them. "Since Palschenna has come to this point, I have to give it a chance.
Retracting his gaze from the imperial transport ship that had turned into a small black spot on the sea, the fat man turned and took the cloak from the Imperial Admiral Dusternky. At this time, an imperial guard cavalry was riding a horse from a distance. Come, dismount the horse more than ten meters in front of the fat man, and ran over with a report in his hand. "Your Majesty, the report just sent from Lahlasburg, the Royal Faizé requested to negotiate with the empire!"
"Negotiating? This time!"
The fat man's face was slightly wrong, he received the report, scanned his gaze, and muttered "I don't know the so-called", so he closed the report and threw it to the Secretary of the Navy Dusterenkai. This time the Fazer royal family did It was a dead end. Under the attack of the Northwest Army of Crolithat, the army of more than 20,000 people collapsed on the first day. The person who issued the negotiation request was Prince Albert, who now represents the chief of the royal family, under the imperial front. The Prince Albert also believed that the empire sent troops for the West Coast issue, and proposed that the Fazer royal family recognized the empire’s control over the West Coast and agreed to sign a formal agreement as long as the empire agreed to withdraw its troops, so the conditions of the situation were not clear. It's a joke!
"Tell the Northwest Army Corps that the negotiations are rejected and everything is going according to plan" the fat man said to the informant cavalry
