Power and Empire Chapter 1356: Dongting curtain (1)
These days are really difficult! The fat man looked at the girl in Chinese clothes who was standing not far away on the stage and still had a bit of timidity on her face. He couldn't help but flash in his mind the female Mamunuk knight who was martyred yesterday.
The lively scene is completely invisible to the tragic incident that took place yesterday. The steps were cleaned with clean water, and the blood was completely absent. The priest’s body was killed during the incident and it was cremated overnight. It can be seen that the temple is also trying to cover it up. This time the scandal of going to the palace,
Because of the hasty decision, the recommended range of the first civilian saint is in the city of Saint Nicholas at the foot of the mountain.
As the holy place of the sky religion, it is normal to elect the first civilian saint from Saint Nicholas, and the candidate of this saint has also been recognized by Palschenna. The body of this saint She is the daughter of a physician in the city of St. Nicholas. She has a gentle personality and is approachable. In addition, she often follows doctors and meets poor people who can’t pay for the consultation. She often secretly assists some herbs, so she is very popular in St. Nicholas. ,
This time, from the three recommended by the city of St. Nicholas, after Palschena’s careful selection, she was finally determined to be her,
Quintina, a very fresh young girl, the fat man has no objection to this. What the empire needs is the status of a commoner saint to break the monopoly of the noble class on the temple, regardless of who the commoner is. How does it look,
Surrounded by a sea of people, the whole sacrificial hall was packed with thousands of people. At 8 o'clock in the morning, the streets were full of glorious imperial soldiers. On the mountain road leading to the temple, there were rows of white armors. Temple Mamunuk held a sword and stood upright like a nail.
Behind them, the arches of the palace decorated with colorful flowers are also magnificent and magnificent. A huge chandelier hangs on the top of the high hall. More than 5,000 lanterns and special colored candles all over the place illuminate the whole sacrificial hall where the ceremony is held.
The red coral velvet carpet was spread from the entrance of the temple to the high platform as the ceremony place. The ceremony officially began at 9 o'clock in the morning.
But at around 8:30, all the spectators have already entered the arena. It is more eye-catching than the saint. It is the rumored Majesty Falcon, the **** of war from the mainland.
When the fat man was sitting in the front row, everyone in the venue was attracted by him. This young man who is only 22 years old is the most powerful ruler of this continent. It was the first time that many guests at the courtesy place saw the Vicia Falcon.
They marveled at the upright posture of the ruler. Elegant black hair, approachable appearance. More people talked about his undefeated record and the legendary experience of rising from Vickia. Whether it is an enemy or a friend, everyone secretly admires in their hearts, such a temperament, such a demeanor, really is today's outstanding person.
Of course, as an object of attention, the fat man’s forehead is already covered with sweat, which is really sad. This feeling is like countless enemies peeping at your privacy in the distance.
"Your Majesty, it's time for you to go up and read the blessings!
Beside the fat man, some of the same fat Ivan Brown High Priest pushed with his hands the somewhat disoriented Majesty Falcon,
There is a large bruise on his forehead, although he tried his best to cover it, it still looks nondescript. This is the result of hitting a wall a dozen times in the secret road yesterday. The secret road for hundreds of years may have a lamp. What? It’s already burned out. Prophet Ferran was used to escape. It was well-connected inside. The high priest Ivan Brown who fell into the secret path was completely dark in his eyes. He strayed all the way and didn’t know him. Know where the exit is,
If it weren’t for the Imperial Army to dig up the entire observatory and penetrate the air, it is estimated that the high priest would be able to suffocate to death inside
"Really? So fast?"
The fat man walked onto the platform in a daze, took out the prepared blessings, cleared his throat pretendingly, and prepared to complete the most important thing in the ceremony,
In order to make it easy, the only program Fatty designed for himself in this ceremony is to read the blessing words of less than a hundred words, and then gracefully recognize the empire from the hands of the registrar next to the saint. The golden seal scroll of the book was handed over to the hand of this young girl who was still shivering in front of her,
This kind of golden seal document represents the complete suppression of the secular kingship over theocratic power. The power of religion comes from the hearts of the people. Once these hearts are gathered on a certain person, it becomes very dangerous. That's why the fat man came up with it. The trick of the civilian saints, religion can exist, beliefs can exist, but they must not be gathered on one person. The saints selected from the civilians obviously do not have such cohesion. The temple loses the supreme divine power, but it can Get greater development,
Fatty has already announced in his blessings that in every city in the country of Ge, there will be a branch of the Sky Holy Church, and each area can become a branch,
Weak its main stem and strengthen its branches and leaves. This method is not uncommon in the Eastern world. Under the layers of contradictions between regions, main halls and sub-temples, there will only be a huge space inside the Sky Temple. Disperse the sand, forever lose the power to compete with the empire,
But the empire can calmly use a unified religion to achieve cultural integration and unity, and truly become a great empire with a unified belief. This may take a hundred years or more, but at least it has already planted the seeds. , Turning the power of the temple into countless tributaries that exported faith to the empire,
"May the Holy Light live forever..."
finish reading the difficult and incomprehensible blessings full of religious words,
Sweat beaded on the fat man’s head, he took the ironed and flattened papers from the bookkeeper who was wearing a gold-thread robe beside him, and prepared to hand it to the "trembling lamb" in front of him. Then he could pat. Going down, but I don’t know what’s wrong. The new saint who was supposed to take the paper shivered at this moment.
" Am I that scary? "The fat man is holding the Jinxi document in his hand, but I will not be next home. He is so stupid. He wants to remind him with his eyes, but his eyes are like a little lamb. The girl who avoids her feels very depressed. It is a waste of effort. This new saint has not even dared to lift her head up to now.
As the first saint selected from among the common people, this girl in costume is only sixteen years old and has just reached the standard of the coming-of-age ceremony. Her appearance is green and beautiful, and her neck is covered with temple aspects. All kinds of diamond ornaments, wearing dark purple hair bun headgear, can not see the specific face, but it feels okay, after all, it was also selected by Palschena. It was just a little stage fright, it should be Today this big scene is scared,
If you think about it, if someone is suddenly designated as a saint, then under the eyes of thousands of eyes, complete a series of complicated and depressing rituals, and finally face the one who claims to have killed millions of people. The blessing of the tyrant is probably like this,
" Take it easy, anyway, history will remember this day! Look, you and I are tired, stretch out your hand and let this end early, okay?"
Fatty looked left and right, he coughed awkwardly, and said in a low voice that only two people could hear. The girl's body trembled. Fatty could see clearly, and the girl’s white neck suddenly looked like The rose was dyed red pink. Fortunately, two small white palms stretched out.
The fat man secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and placed the gorgeous and dazzling golden seal scroll in his palm between the whiteness of his palm. The new saint raised her head for the first time, with slender eyebrows, dark and clear eyes, and a straight nose. , Soft and plump cherry lips, beautiful lines and smooth and clean cheeks, a broken face, a pure and refined beauty, a full-fledged beauty embryo,
"Long live! Long live your majesty, and the saint never live!"
The salanderers cheered one after another. The fat man walked down from the sacrificial platform, his chin was much higher than before. On him, there was a high spirit of jī moving, black and bright. The high-barrel army boots stepped on the smooth marble floor, and the rhythmic and heavy footsteps of "bang, bang, bang" echoed in people's ears.
Every time they go through a section, the Salanders in that section will squat down neatly and bow their bodies as if the wind blows through the rice fields, their eyes are full of awe for the fat man,
At this moment, the secular kingship has completely triumphed over the divine right,
The fat man clenched his fists, and narrowed his eyes staring at the distant sky. Sarand’s heart was firmly held in his hand,
It’s a pity, God doesn’t want to let this refreshing feeling stay for a long time on the cheap guys. The fat man’s **** hasn’t settled down yet, and a black armored captain walks over nervously. The fat man whispered in his ear, "Your Majesty, the Emergency Report of the Ministry of Military Affairs, last night ~ IndoMTL.com ~ recorded that the Arik Ministry belonging to the Eastern Army was attacked by the Eastern Army. Thousands of people in the whole family were killed! Princess Rui Tangtingna has announced that she will clearly support the Western Army!"
"This woman! Always like to pick things like this!"
The fat man twitched his eyebrows and snorted. He was a little dissatisfied with Rui Tang Tingna's reaction. The two armies were fighting between the East and the West. What kind of attitude do you third-party forces express? Where you are arranged is for the purpose of watching the show. The bullfighting game that I finally set up is probably because of this sudden attitude, both of the frightened parties retracted. Fortunately, the fat man could not take care of the latter half of the report. I complained about it. After Rui Tang Tingna announced his support for the Western Army, Berrant Bonnie of the three northern counties suddenly announced that he would support the Eastern Army.
" It's messed up, it's all messed up! "The fat guy crumpled the report into a ball, and asked quite speechlessly" What is the attitude of the Vijaya base camp? How did it cause such a mess! What do the Ministry of Military Affairs and the Department of Supervision do? Of!"
"What's the matter?" The high priest Palschenna who was sitting next to him asked curiously, the unresolved problem of the saint has finally been resolved, and the temple can continue again. The most important thing is that the temple has been obtained. The power to set up branches in various places is really unimaginable. It is believed that the day when Shengjiao becomes the state religion of the empire is not far away, making her happiest face ruddy and radiant,
"Fighting at home!" The fat man smiled wryly (to be continued) [This text is provided by Qihang Update Team@偶氏尊尊] If you like this work, you are welcome to vote for recommendation and monthly pass. Your support is my greatest motivation. ) Bring @轩潇弄影
