Chapter 283 [The Millennial Age Scandal]
There was a moment of silence in the room, and Dewey frowned: “How did this happen? Since this Messius was able to merge the three classes together and become the first Pope, then surely we should all know his origins and identity, why...”
“Speaking of His Majesty, this personal experience is a legend.” Rams continues to play the role of storyteller, while Maximus continues to remain silent.
“His Majesty, Matthews, was not the brainchild of any genre. And in fact, in recounting his personal history, he was actually a priest in a small church somewhere. He and His Majesty Aragon, the founding emperor of the Roland Empire, lived in the same homeland and were acquaintances of old times. His Majesty Aragon originated from a small aristocratic family in the south-central part of the Roland continent, while His Majesty, Messiah, was a priest in a small religious institution of the Church of Light in that area.
It is a small religious place in a not thriving township, with few people and few clergy. From a devout family of believers, His Majesty Matthews entered a religious institution at the age of sixteen and devoted himself to becoming a clergyman at the age of twenty-two, because of the death of an old priest in a religious institution, how he became a new priest… because there was no one else at that time. It is well known that His Majesty Aragon, when he was young, had several years of adventure outside and had caused a great deal of trouble and had once been captured by local authorities at the time. It is said that for some time, His Majesty Aragon fled back to his homeland and was afraid to go home and hid in a religious place under His Majesty's responsibility. There is also said to be a deep friendship between the two.
Following the subsequent issuance of His Majesty's revelations in Aragon, the power to take charge of a small country - which, strangely for future generations, seemed to have been on all historical records, His Majesty had appeared before His Majesty Aragon since that time, when, according to historical records, Aragon had given him the power to summon his followers within his sphere of influence to serve the army.
Until then, there was no record of cooperation between Messius and Aragon. To say a disrespectful word, it seems that the two suddenly came together… Of course, the latter speculated, and there is an assertion, which was accepted by most, that, in fact, when His Majesty the Aragon started his army, Micheus was already an intimate comrade of Aragon. Later, in order to help Aragon's reunification war, Messius ran amongst the various factions of the Church of Light on the continent, persuaded many to participate in the cause of reunification, and he did so with his outstanding abilities.
Subsequently, during the war of reunification, the Church of Light deepened its cooperation with Aragon step by step, while Messius, the role of the two contacts from the beginning, gradually gained control of many churches, after all, he was originally a priest of the Church. If it is the great work of the Church of Light that helped Aragon to build the Empire, then perhaps it is the cause of Aragon that objectively created the place of Messius in the Church.
After all, at the beginning, he acted as an intermediary in the alliance between Aragon and the Church, and since he was also a priest, he gradually focused on becoming the spokesperson for cooperation between the Church and Aragon. Finally, in the great cause of reunification, he achieved great merit, and his prestige in the Church was once and for all embraced by all, formally creating a tight organization, the Temple of Light, which was originally biased towards loose churches! And he himself, officially, became the first Pope.
Objectively speaking, His Majesty Mayhews owes a great deal of credit to the Light Temple for today's situation. Without his efforts, the Light Church would still be a loose organization and not necessarily an orthodox one on the continent. Moreover, without his efforts, the three factions of the year would not have cooperated.
His Majesty Matthews is a brilliant leader who is good at communicating, communicating and uniting forces across the board, bringing us together and twisting our efforts together. Unfortunately, even a clever man such as Myrth could not completely eradicate the sectarian divisions within the Church, so that, while he was alive, the sects could be temporarily united, but in fact, when the continent was reunited and he became pope, the sectarian divisions within the Church resurfaced, and the life of Myrth in the last few years was almost spent trying to calm the divisions over power within the Church.
Moreover, in his final years in office, in fact, according to the latter's speculation, His Majesty Messius had lost control of the clandestine rivalry between the lower factions. After all, before the reunification of the continent, when we had a common struggle goal, we could listen to the persuasion of Messiah to let go of our differences for a while and work together. But after the reunification of the continent, there are no more common enemies and common goals, then the cornerstone of ’solidarity' no longer exists, and Messius can no longer find a reason to unite us all.
He died of illness three years after the establishment of the Empire, and His Majesty the Aragon personally presided over his funeral. His Majesty Matthews died on the hospital bed, what helps... ”
Speaking of which, Rams sighed and seemed a little reluctant to go on. He looked at Maximus and hesitated.
“Go ahead, Rams.” Maximus sighed a long time: “This secret thing is a scandal of the temple, but this disgraceful thing, it's always meaningless to conceal. Now that you've said so much today, why don't you just go ahead and say it all? ”
Rums, who was supposed to look a little dirty, still smelled a little sad at this moment, took a deep breath and slowed down: “Grand Duke Tulip, only a handful of genre minds inside the church know about this. And it has been a secret ever since, and the outside world will never say it. Because this thing, it's really disgraceful. ”
“Well, why is it so disgraceful?” Dewey frowned: “Did...” He suddenly whispered: “Was this Matthews killed? ”
Rams startled and shook his head quickly: "Of course not! His Majesty, Matthews, although he lost control of the sectarian strife in his later years, had a high reputation, especially among lower-level believers, who were highly respected. If anyone dares to harm him, it is tantamount to facing the wrath of millions of believers on the continent! No one would do this! And… and… while several genres have fought hard, they dare not go so far as to insinuate on the Pope. ”
Dewey laughed coldly and said secretly, "Don't you dare? I can't see...
Rams set his mind to it before continuing: “In fact… it is said that, uh, it is also true. In the last days of His Majesty's stay, he had actually lost his power and had been placed under house arrest by several genres. He could not drive anyone, but left behind an old servant or loyal to him. Yenni and Mossad, both sent a close eye on him and demanded that he publish his will. ”
Dewey frowned: “Do you want him to be a successor Pope? ”
“That's not true, I suppose. Matthews had already thought about it when he officially became pope, so he announced the Pope's succession bill as early as he was in power. It was not for the Pope himself to appoint a candidate, and the bill promulgated at that time was for the Presbyterian Church to vote unanimously, to evaluate the achievements of archbishops in several parishes, and finally to select the best person to be eligible for succession. In this way, it was avoided that the position of the Pope would later become that of a commissioner of some ambitions. The separation of powers is also the right thing to do. ”
“What does the will of Matthews do?” Dewey doesn't understand.
Rams grinned, “That's the problem! At that time, less than two or three years after the establishment of the Empire, His Majesty Mayhews was no longer able to do so. If at that time the performance of the archbishops of several parishes is evaluated... Duke, you think, the war of unity has just come to an end, the archbishops of several parishes, by the way, everyone has made an outstanding contribution in the war of unity! No one is particularly brilliant at this. At that time, if we were purely comparing merit, we would all be the same. Well, at this time, the presbytery assessment, since merit cannot be the standard, then... love tickets, become the most important! ”
“Emotion tickets? ”
“Yes.” Long sighed Rams: “It is also a great contribution of His Majesty the Messiah to the Temple! As I said earlier, in the dispute between the Mossad and Yeni factions, the Montenegrins have been neutral. And it was only by leveraging the power of the neutral organization of the Montenegrin faction that Mathews consolidated the internal contradictions. And after he succeeded the Pope, he made one of the biggest, and now, it seems, very clever moves, namely, the formation of the Presbyterian Legion! All the members of the presbytery, the vast majority of them are Montenegrins! This neutral denomination, and their doctrine, is oriented towards indisputable worldliness and adherence to its own principles, sexual advice and purity, without fear of external oppression.
They are the best candidates for arbitration and are not tempted by power. So, the elders, almost all of them, were Montenegrins. The Presbyterian Church does not assume any power, nor participates in the power and management of the Temple. It is only its own painstaking cultivation, the name of the Presbyterian, as if it were just an empty honour, but once the Pope inherits, the importance of the status of "Presbyterian" will be prominent. And the Montenegrins themselves are powerful, and neither Mossad nor Yeni dare to provoke or challenge them easily. At that time, the presbytery of Montenegro, as the final voting owner of the Pope, was unable to make a final decision after evaluating the performance of several archbishops, and at that time, the love vote was crucial... "
“You mean…” Dewey frowned.
“Class name.” Ramses sighed: “At that time, it was thought that the position of Messius would determine the final attribute of the Pope's position. Although Matthews does not have the right to list a new Pope directly, after all, he is too eager for others. Most importantly, he himself has never publicly indicated whether he belongs to the Jenies or the Mossads. At that time, both sides believed that if, at this time, Messius could admit which genre he belonged to, it would undoubtedly be the last weight to lead to the final tilt!! Lord Duke, you think that when the Yenni and Mossad candidates are equal, if at that time Matthews stood up, just to say that he is actually of a certain genre, then... because of his great prestige, all the presbyterians would vote for the heir of that genre he spoke of! ”
“I get it, so at that time, they forced him to admit his own genre before Micheus' bed, right? ”
Rams blushed, closed his mouth and couldn't speak.
Maximus said at this point: "Not bad… Duke, you are talking about the facts of the day. This is a big scandal! At the time of the great Pope's retention, the heads of the two genres, in order to compete for power, coerced and bullied the great man before he went to bed... such a move is truly shameful! Although I am a Mossad, I am deeply ashamed of the way that the Mossad practised it back then. ”
“The old things were done by the old people, and the ugly things those guys did, they didn't need the later ones to take responsibility.” Dewey waved, "What I care about is… and then what? ”
“Then what happened made the division within the Temple of Light last a thousand years… and finally made the Temple of Light break with the royal family! Thereafter, the two sides appeared divorced, and the supreme battle for divine and imperial power lasted for a thousand years, until today it has not been eliminated, but rather intensified! ”
It was Maximus, his helpless face, over his old face, with a deep and unpredictable expression: "Duke, what happened after that is even more secret, do you really want to hear it? ”
Dewey understands that this secret “story”, if you want to hear it, comes at a price.
But he seemed relaxed: “As I said at the beginning, I wouldn't be able to sleep at night if I didn't finish talking about it. Lord Bishop, now that we're on the same boat, you... go ahead! ”
