Eagle Byzantium

At this time, some of the Orthodox priests on the seats stared with frightened eyes and shrank their necks, some laughed boldly and unbridled, and some spread their hands and shrugged to show that they had no idea, but the priest in the corner continued to use a few words. The emperor answered in fluent Greek:

"Your Majesty, the so-called royal family and the government of the empire... do not pay attention to the principle of autonomy of the church and monastery. Through various channels, they directly influence the sibo of each regional synagogue, and the sibo then exerts influence on the The Church implements influence….”

The entire auditorium was a little noisy, which made the words spoken by the people in the corner not very clear, but some harsh words still made everyone more shocked. The guards had already seen some changes in the face of Lord Basileus. .

"Where does the principle of church autonomy come from?" the emperor asked, stretching out his hand and trying to stay calm.

"I think it was established by two apostles, St. Peter and St. Paul, one in the west and one in the east. One imitated the old senate system and the other imitated the Greek academy system..."

"Do you believe what St. Peter says?" As soon as the emperor said this, the whole venue almost exploded. The priest who asked the question in the corner was obviously shocked. He did not expect that the ruler of the Holy Orthodox Empire would actually say such a thing. Come on, "You guys, don't let the wind turn into rain. Where did St. Peter's words come from? It's been so many years since us, who can guarantee Prove that his words have not been tampered with. Even if not, where did the Curia system come from? Isn’t it a power structure shared by the Roman emperor and the people? So according to the complete logical chain, the power of church autonomy was given by the Roman emperor. Is it wrong to say that the emperor was also God’s agent on earth and the sword-bearing guardian of Roman law?”

After saying this, the emperor stepped forward and added in a decisive and strong tone, "So whether it is the parishes or the Orthodox Church, whether it is Mosia, Sava or Epirus, whether it is the synagogue, The appointment of all clergy in a mosque or a Zoroastrian temple must be in accordance with the basic laws of Rome, the Civil Code, the Emperor's Commentary and the Law of the People!" When he said the last sentence, Gawain still had the strength to chop his hand.

At this time, the Bogomil faction in the synagogue began to applaud the emperor's words, while the Zixinhui expressed silence, and everyone in the Orthodox Church made a loud wave of resistance.

"But Your Majesty..." The person in the corner was still preparing to ask questions.

But the guard warriors in the synagogue were already holding the hilts of their swords, shaking their armor, and started to move toward the place where the sound occurred.

The emperor continued angrily, "You priests don't understand the source of power at all. You make childish, passive, and irresponsible remarks all day long. Sometimes you are stupid, sometimes you are bad, and sometimes you are both stupid and bad. You little Can I see through my mind? When it comes to church and monastery property, I would like to ask you, does it say in the Bible that monasteries and monks can own private property? Isn’t the Taoist soul the temple of the Lord? Now you ask me whether I support Thomas Sibo of Meissenbria. He is a Sibo who was born by Roman law. How can I not support it? Tell me. ? Now you are saying that I am the emperor, completely ignoring my spirit of abiding by the law. In the future, you will take it out of context and judge me in a private chronicle..."

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, then why do we have to enforce the Greek Bible manuscripts? Your Majesty, Your Majesty, isn't the Slavic language sacred enough?" The priest in the corner saw the murderous warrior walking up the aisle steps and was still there. Ask questions relentlessly.

"Greek is the official language of the Roman Empire, and it is confirmed by law and Basileus of all ages. What kind of language is Slavic? It is foreign and rude; now I have a guest in the imperial capital named General Wallace. I often chatted and laughed with him, using the distant Scottish Highland language, that After Wallace settled down, could he also ask that the Bible and the Gospels be written in Scots? You asked the cities of Tervono and Veliko Preslav to use Slavic, and he asked Ragusa to use Latin. , what will this empire look like if things go on like this?”

"But Slavonic..."

Gawain continued to interrupt him and shouted loudly, "Those who want to speak Slavonic and Cyrillic letters can migrate back to Moldavia. Now the polytheistic barbarians there are eager for the influence of Christian doctrine. A few of you Orthodox people stand out and Give me ten years to carry out enlightenment."

"What does this have to do with Moldavia?"

"Why doesn't it matter? Why doesn't it matter! Jesus said that I washed the feet of the poor, and St. Peter and St. Paul said that I used inspiration to inspire the most barbaric and indulgent people. Now you priests will only let the poor wash your feet, but the monks are not Those who occupy a large amount of worldly power and wealth, indulge in comfort and self-interest, and are not willing to go to distant suffering and dangerous areas to promote the mercy of our Lord, are there any people who are willing to stand up and show mercy to those north of the Danube? Missionary service in remote areas?”

At this time, about ten officials from the Xinhui immediately stood up from their seats and expressed their willingness to obey the emperor's call and go to any area to engage in such work.

The synagogue became even more chaotic.

"But Your Majesty, what you are doing is unbiblical..."

"I have sent people to the ancient kingdom of priests to find the true Bible. What is the Bible you are talking about? So I tell you, you will not be able to succeed in the future! In the future, Constantinople will have the final say on the appointment of bishops in Ohrid, Trvono and other places!" When the guards dragged away the screaming Mosiah Orthodox priests, the emperor was still standing under the patio in the center of the synagogue. Finally, he pointed at the priests who were forcibly taken away and said, "Today I have offended you!"

"The Emperor of Mesenbria scolded the priests" became a topic of discussion throughout the empire in the following years. However, everyone was still grateful for the emperor's kindness at the time. He did not execute or exile any priests, but just refuted them severely. However, most people at the time did not expect that the so-called emperor went to the priest king John to find the true original Bible, which was actually true. Gawain really put it into practice.

And the leader of the search team was Zhao Zhao, who believed in Confucianism.

He had crossed the Red Ocean and arrived at the territory of the King of the Sea, which is the port of Zela at the westernmost end of the legendary "Horn of Punt". Now there is no king's power here. Various autonomous trade towns and the Crescent Moon jihadists who constantly cross the sea from Seruki (Yemen) fill the scenery here.

A perfect version in the book forum of 16-9!

In the trading station built by the Seruki people, Zhao Zhao walked into it with a solemn look. When the other merchants from Tangtu saw him, they immediately stood up and bowed.

"The Great King of Justice!" Zhao Zhao was surprised to hear this name.
