Chapter 1599 The Son Abandoned by God (2)

In the New Testament, the father forgave his young son who divided the family property, ran away from home, lived a luxurious life, and finally couldn't make ends meet. This seemingly tender story has a premise. The young son only thinks of going home when he has a bad life outside.

When he was living a comfortable life, he didn't even remember going home.

People can understand the "father" who opens his arms for sinners. He chooses tolerance and understanding because of love, but not all "fathers" are so compassionate.

The bishops are rich and have believers. The villagers of the ancient battlefield of Ivri live in a very closed world. However, these villagers are literate and can read the Bible and some long-outdated newspapers. These people have weak legal concepts but poor moral concepts.

Very high. Although they didn’t know who the young man named Kerrison was, but since Kerrison said that they could not lynch those refugees and would leave it to the court for judgment, the three refugees were still alive in the end and were

He was beaten half to death, and then was thrown into a tattered carriage by the Guards and taken away.

Pepin obtained the power of papal coronation by donating soil and became the "legitimate" Roman emperor. Napoleon did not use the divine right of kings to proclaim himself emperor. He crowned himself, and his crown claimed to come from the French people.

This lion of the wilderness does not like to be restrained by the constitution, nor does it like to be restrained by the divine power. He will not let the Bourbons return to the throne of the past, nor will they let the religious power override the secular power.

Therefore, it is not easy to release the prisoners in the Abbey of Mont Saint-Michel and make this desecrated holy place sacred again, even if doing so will undoubtedly please the church and restore the seemingly harmonious relationship between the consul and the church.

Napoleoni's denial of magic and witchcraft was not because he was the same as the Muggles of the Dursley family. For example, he could lie and claim that he had some kind of magical power and could make people who didn't listen to him curse to death.

During the Crusades, the priests claimed that the Crusade was to save pilgrims and knights. Even if you were a sinner, you could gain salvation by participating in the Holy War.

Some people will find it ridiculous, while others will choose to believe it. Once authority is established, people will believe whatever nonsense he says. For example, if Georgiana said that Harry Potter was not the seventh Horcrux, no one would believe it, because the person who made this judgment was Ah

Bruce Dumbledore, the greatest white wizard, he still has evidence, Harry can speak Parseltongue, and the induction between Horcruxes, Georgiana's evidence is only logic, and Albus made Harry

The inference that it is the seventh Horcrux is inconsistent with common sense and logic.

Napoleon would never allow this kind of thing to happen in his army. Napoleon advocated rationality, and he wanted to make the French people live what he thought was a rational life. When he was in Palestine, even though his army was very close to a holy place,

He also forcibly ordered the soldiers to turn around, not meeting the soldiers' expectations of seeing the Holy Land.

This person is not perfect. For example, he hopes that Georgiana and Josephine will be covered in jewelry like Grassini. Georgiana can compromise with him on not going to the Holy Land, but not on this matter.

European royal families, especially women, were almost covered in jewelry. Looking at their portraits, Georgiana always felt that they looked a lot like the skeletons decorated with gold and jewelry in churches. Georgiana advocated Greek nature and liberalism, unless

Even if the universe collapsed, she wouldn't be covered in gems.

This lion as cunning as a fox may also plan to use witch hunting to deal with the Inquisition. When in Genoa, the Inquisition armed the charcoal burners and porters and prepared them to defend the city to deal with the coming inquisition.

military.

The Genoese bourgeoisie, protected by Napoleon, loudly called for the disarmament of porters and charcoal-burning workers, but only 4,000 guns were actually handed over, and 20,000 guns were not handed over.

Venice was the first to lift the Inquisition, but when Napoleon attacked Venice, priests compared the French to the Crusaders on the pulpit. In short, Napoleon hated the Inquisition, and the Protestants were relieved. During the Reformation, they directly abolished the Inquisition.

, Catholicism is not that easy. Even though it is similar to a police court in the words of the Roman Church, it is still influential in Portugal and Spain, and can even be used as a tool for the king to consolidate his rule.

Napoleoni had to face the struggle between secularity and theocracy, and Pius VII also wanted to establish the authority of the Holy See.

Henry IV issued the Edict of Nantes and obtained an army of Protestants, but the Catholic Church and the Supreme Court immediately protested. Richelieu also deprived the Protestants of political and military power in France.

Henry IV is a famous wise king in French history, and the Sun King Louis XIV is also very famous. Although Louis XIV initially planned to drive out those Protestant priests, ordinary believers still remained in France, but the believers who surrendered to these priests

Even if he imposed a ban on the border, these people still found ways to sneak out. France not only lost its labor force, but also experienced the outflow of a large amount of domestic production technology, which provided the foundation for the British Industrial Revolution.

Regardless of whether the "Edict of Nantes" was implemented seriously or not, at least it balanced the relationship between Catholicism and Protestantism in legal form. Even if everyone wanted to compete for interests, it was within the same framework. Louis XIV's "Edict of Fontainebleau"

Let the balance of power tilt completely towards the Catholic side.

The British Parliament threw the King of England aside and managed the United Kingdom by itself. The final result was division. Scotland belonged to England because the King of Scotland also had the right to inherit the throne of England, just like the King of England also had the right to inherit the throne of France. Without this layer

Relationships will be like glass beads placed under a wooden board. If the wooden board is removed, the glass beads will fall apart and each will roll towards the side that is beneficial to them.

Switzerland can be split into more than a dozen states, not to mention Britain, which must at least be split into Ireland, England, and Scotland. Napoleon planned to dig the Suez Canal and destroy everything that Britain had worked hard on the west coast of Africa. Scotland also had the Darien Plan to develop

Colony of Panama.

This is a very imaginative and ambitious plan, but turning it into reality requires technology and strong national power. The United States really has no loyalty to the British suzerainty. Americans want to drink Scotch whiskey. But under England’s Prohibition Order, the Scots

No brewing is allowed, plus Port wine from Portugal, Bordeaux wine from France, and Caribbean rum that pirates were obsessed with, this "cocktail" might not be that delicious to drink.

A wise leader can lead a country to become rich and powerful, while a mediocre and incompetent leader will govern the country into chaos and division. Montesquieu wrote in his book that absolute equality will restore the state of nature, and Rousseau in the Social Contract

He also said that when the monarch no longer governs the country according to law, but the government usurps the power of the sovereign body, the country as a whole ceases to exist. At this time, the government will shrink, just like a red giant gestating a new one before it explodes.

nation.

During this period, ordinary people will be in a natural state of freedom, chaotic and forced to obey by violence, and then resist with violence. How can we do without the army in this situation? Even the army does not dare to face the waves of people coming in.

, because there are too many of them.

After passing Evreux and coming to a fork in the road, Napoleoni stopped.

This intersection leads to Rouen to the north, which only takes a day's journey, and to Mont Saint-Michel to the west.

No one dared to speak until Napoleon had decided which direction to take.

So is Napoleon the modern Attila or the Sword of the Church? If he is the Sword of the Church, is he still the Sultan of Kabir?

When the last ship sailed towards the unreachable horizon of Le Na, a young man sat quietly on a rock and stared at the sail in trance. His thoughts seemed to fly away with the sail and the waves, forming his dream.

world in.

Imagination can rule the world, or it may be the crazy imagination of a delusional patient. Of course, he may also suffer from schizophrenia, and all the people who appear around him are hallucinations.

Crazy people often don’t know that they are crazy. Georgiana only hopes that she is not so crazy, or she hopes that she is not crazy, otherwise she would not make a prediction that Great Britain will break up, and the only one who can prevent the breakup of the United Kingdom is the United Kingdom.

king.

This king is certainly not the Mad King George III. Unfortunately, the Prince of Wales seems incapable of killing his father for the throne. The most important thing is that the German madness seems to be hereditary. Who knows if the Prince of Wales will follow him one day?

My father is just as crazy.

The Scots believe in the rule of the Stuart family, but who knows whether the Stuart who welcomes him back will be a good king? What if he is worse than the Mad King George III?

Georgiana looked at the bronze medal in her hand. It circulated in one direction and looked like a whirlpool.

"Ma'am." Matilda looked at her worriedly, "It's better not to carry this thing with you."

Just as Georgiana was about to speak, the carriage started to move. It seemed that Napoleon had decided which direction to go, and the team was about to set off again.
