I am a master, I have the final say

Due to the emptiness of the treasury due to years of war, the French royal family did not have the luxury as imagined, and could even be called a bit simple. After passing through an alley, a slightly spacious space appeared in front of it, which was arranged like a church with several rows long. The top of the chair is a single seat. This is where the nobles usually discuss state affairs.

At this moment, the left and right rows of the chamber are full of people. There are generals in armor, nobles in Chinese clothes, and church members in black robes. Except for a few military personnel, Most people looked at Joan with a hint of suspicion and interrogation.

Although Joan’s personality can be said to be relatively dull, it is only reflected in kindness or some trivial matters in life, but she is very sensitive to the atmosphere. She can clearly feel that this huge room is full of opposites. The unwelcome aura formed a completely different contrast with the French people outside.

Joan felt a trace of sadness in her heart.

She is just a village girl, but this does not mean that she does not understand politics. She knows very well that when she stepped into the palace, she has already intervened in the French political stage, and the number of people that can be accommodated on this stage is limited. Since he has come in, someone will inevitably go out, and even the interests of some people will be harmed.

These nobles in Chinese clothes, even when the country is in crisis, they are only considering their own interests.

At this moment, Joan seems to understand why France has never won the war with the British in these years, because the ruling class of this country has rotted!

Perhaps, from the beginning, the ruling class was rotten, but their gorgeous surface concealed the dirty interior.

The nobles have money and status. Even if this country is defeated, they can still submit to the victorious country and survive on the stronger side. Therefore, the victory or defeat of the war does not have much impact on them. Right now, they are truly thinking about this country. There are only three kinds of people... the royal family, soldiers and civilians.

However, the rights held by these three types of people could not compete with the aristocracy at all.

Yes, even with the royal family!

On the surface, the status of the royal family is higher than that of the nobles, but that is only on the premise of not touching the interests of the nobles, otherwise, if the nobles rebel, it will be enough to bring a devastating blow to this country.

And when most of the rights of the country fall on people who do not think about the country, can the country be saved?

Joan realized that she wanted to save the country, the French people who were suffering, and those who longed to live and work. She could only stand against the nobility.

Feeling the gaze from somewhere, Jeanne turned her head and found that it was Gildley who had been bound to one side. He nodded and smiled, ignoring the eyes of those nobles, and walked straight to the highest position ahead. Sitting there was the French Crown Prince Charles, the nominally supreme leader of France.

"His Royal Highness..." A few meters away, Joan stopped and bowed slightly.

Before Charlie spoke, a voice of dissatisfaction had been heard from the aristocratic group, "Why is it not expensive to meet the crown prince?"

After all, it is a feudal age with strict classes. The etiquette between classes is still very important. In traditional concepts, knights, generals, nobles and church officials do not have to kneel when facing the king. Yes, even soldiers do not need to kneel at some special times, but Joan...Although she has made great contributions to be summoned by the crown prince, she also leads an army, but her identity is still just a civilian.

Facing the crown prince, in theory, she had to kneel at least.

Charlie saw that Joan did not kneel to him, and felt that she was somewhat rude, but in fact he didn't care very much. For one thing, he knew that the other party was just a village girl and might not understand this knowledge very well. Secondly, Zhen De’s body has shown many miracles. Although it has nothing to do with the church, Charlie’s consciousness has already linked her to the clergy. Therefore, for him, it is actually unnecessary for Jean to kneel or not. .

However, the nobles seized this opportunity and immediately criticized Joan.

I have to say that to impose guilt on the innocent, no one is better at this kind of thing than aristocrats.

But Joan was fearless. She turned her head to look at the nobleman who was vocalizing and said calmly, "I can't kneel."

"Presumptuous!" The nobleman was immediately furious. "You are a commoner. You have neither the status of a nobleman, nor the privileges granted by the royal family, nor the role of the church. Even your body is intact. What makes you Can't kneel down?"

"Duke Charles, this is just a small matter. There is no need to be angry." Seeing that the other party was reluctant, Charlie quickly discouraged him. He summoned Joan to the palace, which itself caused some dissatisfaction among the aristocracy, despite the contradiction in this regard. There is still the ability to reconcile, but if the two parties are allowed to intensify the conflict, the consequences will be unpredictable and he does not want to see.

However, Duke Charles obviously did not want to give up this opportunity to put pressure on Joan, and said in a deep voice: "His Royal Highness, although you are generous, this is not the reason for the presumption of common people. Now Joan is just a commoner, and he has no etiquette. , If things go on like this for a long time, I am afraid that even the kingship will not be taken seriously. The old minister believes that we must not condone such things... Bishop Jonah, what do you think?"

The Duke of Charles looked towards the seat on the other side.

All sitting there were church personnel wearing black robes. Among them was a half-hundred old man. He was the bishop of the French church, Jonah. Although he had no real power, he was backed by the church and his status in France was no less than that. Crown Prince Charlie.

When Charles even asked Jonah, Charlie's expression changed slightly. The old fox actually pulled the church in. It seemed that he didn't want to let Joan out easily.

At this time, a person on the military seat quickly got up and said, "His Royal Highness, Bishop Jonah, and Duke Charles, although Joan of Arc is indeed a little ignorant, as a frontline soldier, she is now at war again. It needs to be treated in accordance with the special rules of the war. If there is an emergency military report, it is not necessary to bow down."

It was Gildley who spoke.

Charlie was overjoyed, and quickly planned to deal with it to exempt Jean of Arc from kneeling, but before he could speak, Duke Charles sneered: "Jan, who granted her status as a soldier?"

Upon hearing this, Gildley was speechless.

Joan of Arc joined the army on her own claim, but in fact she was not literally certified by the military. At least, until Charlie admitted her fate, she was still just a civilian and could not enjoy the special rules of war.

Gildley and the generals around you look at me, I look at me, looking at each other, although everyone knows that Charles deliberately finds ballast, but they have nothing to do... Also, they are swordsmen and swordsmen. Even if you add them all together, you can't beat Charles's mouth.

"I think this matter can be big or small, you are Peter by yourself." At the same time, Bishop Jonah also spoke. It seemed that the two were not partial and did not want to intervene. In fact, these words also acquiesced to Charles's behavior.

At this moment, even Crown Prince Charlie could not find any excuses for Joan.

Charles suddenly raised the corners of his mouth, showing a trace of complacency, and stared at Jeanne with interrogative eyes.

Only Joan, whose expression was as calm as ever, said lightly, "God is in my body, don't kneel down."

"what did you say?!"

"Nonsense!"

"Too presumptuous, this is an insult to the Lord!"

When Joan said this, the nobles were furious, the military was dumbfounded, and the royal family sighed secretly. Even the church side expressed their dissatisfaction and hoped to punish Joan.

For the church, the Lord is sacred, ubiquitous, and inviolable and inviolable. No one dares to pretend that the Lord’s blessing will come to him, but Joan blatantly said that God is in him. This is simply a frontal declaration of war against the church.

Not ten minutes after arriving at the palace, Joan has offended the nobles and the church all over!

324 I, Zhen Ritian, Don't Want to Reason with You

In medieval Europe, the class system was extremely strict, from the lowest commoners to the soldiers, to the nobility and the royal family, and the theocracy above the imperial power. Whether the king of a country is orthodox or not needs to be crowned by the church. It can be said that, In this era, the church, which represents theocratic power, is covering the sky with one hand.

Almost no one dares to provoke the church easily.

Of course, after reaching such a position, the church will also begin to cherish its reputation, or to maintain its own reputation and status. In most cases, as long as you don’t touch their taboos, the church will not casually target someone. people.

However, Joan is obviously not in this ordinary situation.

Even in the official history, the church at that time was very jealous of Joan, because she caused too many incredible miracles, even the church itself began to doubt whether Joan was really blessed by the Lord...this If this happens, a person who is not in the church will be blessed by the Lord. This will have a major blow to the prestige that the church has been shaping for a long time, and it may even directly threaten the pope and even the church's doctrine.

At that time, a dogma of the church clearly stated: No one can be sure that he himself has received God's grace.

This one can be said to be one of the most central ideas of the church. To put it better, human beings admit their ignorance and cannot guess the meaning of the gods, but worse, it is convenient to fool the ignorant people... For example, if you leave the dog Shit luck, suddenly one day, the church can say that you may have received the Lord’s grace, and then you ruined and ruined your family overnight. Then the church can say that this is the Lord’s punishment.

In a certain way, Jehovah is also quite innocent, and his gang of gods, no matter good or bad, splashed on him.

Then, during the trial of Joan of Arc, through this dogma, a question with traps was raised: "Do you feel that you have received God's grace?"

Regardless of whether she answers this question, Joan will be convicted immediately.The answer is that it is to question the dogma, and then to God, which proves that she is a heresy. If not, it further proves that the words she said before are all deceptive words. She cheated in the name of God. The world.

But Joan is very witty. She saw through this trap and replied: "If I don't get it, I hope God can give me. If I have got it, I hope God will still give me."

Such an answer stunned all the people who performed the interrogation and was forced to temporarily suspend the trial. Even any threats and intimidation could not let Joan back. Finally, some members of the British and churches could only use the dirtiest method in the trial. Come to convict Joan, and that is-modify the testimony.
