Chapter 313 Chapter 283 The Scandal Thousand Years Ago

The room fell silent for a moment, and Du Wei frowned and said, "How could this be? Since this Mihuus was able to integrate the three schools and became the first Pope, then his origin and identity are sure to everyone. You should know everything, why..." "Speaking of His Majesty Michus, his personal experience is legendary." Ramsay still played the role of storyteller, while Maximus continued to remain silent. "This His Majesty Micheus was not the mastermind of any genre before. In fact, when tracing his personal history, he was actually a priest in a small local church. He and the founding emperor of the Roland Empire, Aragon His Majesty is a fellow countryman and an old acquaintance. His Majesty Aragon was born in a small noble family in the south-central part of the Roland Continent, while His Majesty Michael is a priest in a small religious institution of the Church of Light in that area.

It was a small religious institute in a not-so-prosperous township. There were few people in the religious institute, and there were not many clergymen.His Majesty Michael was born in a pious family of believers. When he was sixteen years old, he entered a religious institute and dedicated himself as a priest. When he was twenty-two, because the old priest in the religious institute died of illness, how could he become a new priest? Father... because there was really no one else.As we all know, when His Majesty Aragorn was young, he had a few years of adventurous experience outside, and he also caused a lot of trouble, and was once arrested by the local officials at that time.It is said that, for a period of time, His Majesty Aragorn fled back to his hometown, and he did not dare to go home, so he hid in the religious institution under the charge of His Majesty Michus.It is said that there is still a deep friendship between the two.

After His Majesty Aragorn later made his fortune, he took charge of the power of a small country-what makes future generations feel strange is that it seems that according to all historical records, His Majesty Michus appeared beside His Majesty Aragorn from that time, According to historical records, at that time, Aragon empowered Mishus to gather believers to serve the army within his sphere of influence. Before that, there was no record of the cooperation between Mishus and Aragorn.To say something disrespectful, it seems that the two came together suddenly... Of course, later generations have speculated that there is a saying that has been recognized by most people, that is, in fact, when His Majesty Aragorn raised his troops, Mixiu Si is already a close comrade-in-arms of Aragorn.Later, in order to help Aragon's unification war, Misius traveled among the various sects of the Illuminati Church on the mainland, persuading many people to participate in the unification cause, and he used his outstanding ability to complete this feat.

Later, during the Unification War, the Church of Illuminati deepened its cooperation with Aragon step by step, and Mitheus, from the initial role as a liaison between the two parties, gradually took control of many church powers step by step. After all, he originally A priest of the church.If it is said that the Church of Illuminati helped Aragorn accomplish the great cause of building an empire, then perhaps it can also be said that... Aragorn's career also objectively created Misius' status in the church. After all, at the beginning, he was the middleman of the alliance between Aragon and the church, and because he was also a priest, he gradually became the spokesperson for the cooperation between the church and Aragon.In the end, he contributed the most to the great cause of unification, and his prestige in the church was unmatched for a while, and finally won the heartfelt support of everyone, and formally established the originally loose church into a tight organization: Guangming Temple!And he himself officially became His Majesty the first pope.

Objectively speaking, His Majesty Michael has contributed a lot to the Temple of Light's current situation. Without his efforts, the Church of Light is still a loose organization, and may not even become the orthodoxy on the mainland.Moreover, without his efforts, the three genres of the year would not have cooperated. His Majesty Michaelis is a smart leader. He is good at communicating, connecting and uniting forces from all sides, bringing everyone together and working hard together.It's a pity that even someone as smart as Misius can't completely eradicate the school differences in the church, so when he is alive, he can temporarily unite the various schools, but in fact, when the mainland is unified, he will teach After the sect, school differences within the church re-emerged, and the last few years of Messius' life were almost spent on how to quell the differences in power struggles within the church.

Moreover, in the last few years of his tenure, in fact, according to the speculation of later generations, His Majesty Mihus has lost control over the open and secret struggles between the following factions.After all, before the reunification of the mainland, when everyone had a common goal, they could still listen to Michelle's persuasion, temporarily put aside their differences and work together.But when the mainland is unified, there are no common enemies and common goals anymore, so the cornerstone of "unity" no longer exists, and Mihus can no longer find a reason for everyone to unite.

He died of illness in the third year after the establishment of the empire, and His Majesty Aragorn personally presided over his funeral.His Majesty Mihuus died on the hospital bed, what makes people helpless is..." Having said that, Ramsay sighed, as if he couldn't bear to continue.He looked at Maximos, hesitant. "Speak, Ramsay." Maximus sighed: "This secret matter is a scandal in the temple, but it is meaningless to always cover up such a disgraceful matter. Since it has been said today So much has been said, so why not just talk about it all!" Ramsay originally looked a little wretched, but at this moment he still had a sense of sadness. He took a deep breath and said slowly: "Duke Tulip, this matter is only known by a few schools of thought in the church." .And it has been kept secret since then, and it will never be revealed to the outside world. Because, it is really disgraceful to talk about it.”

"Well, why is it disgraceful?" Du Wei frowned: "Could it be..." He suddenly whispered: "Could it be that Mihuus was killed by someone?" Ramsay was taken aback, and quickly shook his head: "Of course not! Although His Majesty Michus lost control over the disputes between sects in his later years, he has a high reputation, especially among low-level believers. He has a very high reputation and is very respected. If anyone dares to harm him, he will face the wrath of millions of believers on the mainland! No one would do such a thing! And...and... Although the several sects are fighting fiercely, they would not dare to assassinate the Pope, which is so treacherous."

Du Wei sneered, and thought to himself: Don't you dare?i can't see... Ramsay regained his composure before continuing: "Actually... it is said, uh, it is just a rumor. During the last few days of His Majesty's death, he had actually lost his power and was placed under house arrest by people from several sects. Get up. He can't drive anyone away, and there is only one old servant who is still loyal to him. Both the Yeni faction and the Mossah faction sent people to watch him closely and demand that he publish his will." Du Wei raised his eyebrows: "Are you asking him to nominate a candidate for the successor pope?"

"That's not true. Come to think of it, Misius had already thought about this issue when he officially became the Pope, so he had already announced the Pope's succession bill when he was still in power. The Pope himself appointed the candidate, and the bill announced at the time was that the presbytery would conduct a unified vote to evaluate the merits of the archbishops of several dioceses, and finally select the best person to be eligible to become the heir. In this way, avoid After that, the Pope's position has become the agency of some careerists. It is also a correct approach to divide power."

"Then what is the role of Mi Hughes' will?" Du Wei was puzzled. Ramsay smiled wryly: "That's the problem! At that time, the empire was only two or three years old, and His Majesty Micheus was no longer able to do it. If the merits of the archbishops of several dioceses were evaluated at that time... the Duke My lord, think about it, the unification war has just ended, the archbishops of several dioceses, speaking of which, everyone has made outstanding contributions in the unification war! In this regard, no one is particularly outstanding. That At that time, if we were purely comparing merits, then everyone was about the same. Well, at this time, since merits cannot be used as the standard for the evaluation of the elders, then... emotional votes have become the most important thing!" "Emotional ticket?" "Yes." Ramsay sighed for a long time: "This is also a great contribution made by His Majesty Michus to the temple! I said before that the Mossah faction and the Yeni faction are in contention, and the Montenegrin faction has always been in the middle. Neutral. And it is precisely by making full use of the neutral organization of the Montenegrin faction that Mihus has integrated the internal contradictions. After he succeeded the pope, he made the largest and is currently It seems that a very smart move is to set up a group of elders! Most of the members of the group of elders are from the Montenegrin sect! This is a neutral sect, and their teachings emphasize indifference to the world, and they insist on their own Principles of hard work, temperamental and pure and honest, while not afraid of external oppression. They are the best people to act as arbitrators, because they will not be seduced by power.Therefore, almost all the elders at that time were members of the Montenegro faction.The group of elders does not assume any power on weekdays, nor does it participate in the power and management of the temple. Only when it is important will it stand out.Moreover, the Montenegrin faction itself is very powerful, neither the Mossa faction nor the Yeni faction dare to easily provoke or challenge them.At that time, the elders of the Montenegrin faction, as the holders of the final voting right to canonize the Pope, could not make a final judgment after evaluating the merits of several archbishops, and at that time, emotional votes were very important... ..." "You mean..." Du Wei frowned. "The name of the genre." Ramsay said in a deep voice: "At that time, everyone believed that Mitheus' position would determine the final position of the pope. After all, the expectations of others are too great. The most important thing is that he himself has never publicly stated whether he belongs to the Yeni sect or the Mossa sect. Which faction you belong to, no doubt, will become the last weight that leads to the final tilt!! My lord, you think, when the Yeni faction and the Mosa faction are equally matched, if at that time, Mihus Stand up, just say one thing, he is actually from a certain sect, then... because of his great prestige, all the elders will vote for the successor of the sect he mentioned!" "I see, so at that time, they forced him to confess his own genre in front of his hospital bed, right?" Ramsay blushed and closed his mouth, unable to speak. However, Maximos said at this time: "That's right...Your Excellency, what you said was exactly the facts at that time. This is indeed a huge scandal! When the great Pope was dying, the two schools of thought The leader, in order to fight for power, threatened and bullied this great man in front of his hospital bed... This kind of behavior is really shameful! It is deeply shameful to do this.” "The things in the past were done by the people in the past. The scandals done by those guys don't require future generations to take responsibility." Du Wei waved his hands and said, "What I care about is... and then?" "Then what happened made the internal division of the Temple of Light last for a thousand years... Moreover, the Temple of Light finally broke with the royal family and turned their faces! Since then, the two sides have been at odds with each other, and the supremacy of the divine power and imperial power has continued for thousands of years. It has not been eliminated until today. , but intensified!" It was Maximus who spoke. His face was helpless. On his old face, there was an unfathomable expression: "My lord, what happened afterward is even more secretive. Do you really want to hear it?" Du Wei understood that if he wanted to listen to this kind of secret "story", he would have to pay a price. But he seemed to be very relaxed: "I said it at the beginning. If I don't continue to finish it, I won't be able to sleep at night. My lord bishop, we are on the same boat now, you... tell me!"
