The Pope abdicated and the new Pope succeeded to the throne! Then a series of personnel changes at the high-level temple of Light!

This major earthquake was not limited to the top leaders of the church, but also completely reshuffled the distribution of forces and factions within the Temple of Light! As the imperial state religion that has lasted for thousands of years, this sudden earthquake affected many areas of the empire.

For a moment, the public opinion in the imperial capital lost its voice!

The abdication of the Pope of the Temple of Light quickly swept across the entire empire, and everyone focused their attention on the church. Chen Daolin had caused this excitement before, which had become an outdated topic.

In the Cathedral of the Temple of Light headquarters in the imperial capital, it is said that many devout believers come to worship every day, and some people kneel in front of the church and refuse to leave for a long time.

In the imperial capital, the royal guards had strengthened their guards and put martial law on several blocks near the church.

The frequent mobilization of the guards in the city and the military camp outside the city, the Imperial Thunder Whip Legion sent a division to station, which caused many people to imagine and speculation.

Thinking of several scandals about the church that broke out in the empire before, and the pope suddenly announced his abdication this time, many people vaguely guessed that this must be the royal family's attack on the church again.

"Your Majesty, the situation is a bit unstable..."

Pete stood in front of the emperor with fear.

In this airtight study, there are only two emperors.!

The emperor sat quietly behind the desk, holding a book of "General History of the Mainland" in his hand and was reading it carefully. He seemed to have never heard of Pitt's words.

After a long time, the emperor turned over a page, looked up and glanced at Pitt, and said lightly: "Why is it unstable?"

"I heard from people in the church that the Holy Knights were indignant. Many knights had even cut off their hair and wrote blood books...Their dissatisfaction with the empire has reached a very dangerous level."

"Hmph, I don't think I'm dissatisfied with the empire, but dissatisfied with the royal family's rule." The emperor smiled faintly, put down the book gently, and spread it on the table in front of him.

He pondered for a moment, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and looked at the loyal inner court manager in front of him, and smiled: "Peter, do you know that since I was a child, I read history books, who do I admire the most among the emperors of all generations?"

Peter was stunned. He didn't understand why the emperor's topic was so jumping so hard. After thinking for a while, he tentatively said: "It should be... His Majesty the Founding Emperor?"

"Ha." The emperor shook his head and said lightly: "His Majesty of the Founding Emperor, His Majesty of the Founding Emperor, is invincible and invincible, and his martial arts are great, and he has established a foundation for all generations. However, His Majesty of the Founding Emperor also made many mistakes in his later years, especially after the founding of the country, there was no effective means to limit the development of the church, so that the church became bigger and endangered the empire for generations, and gradually it was too big to lose."

"Then... what you admire most in your heart is probably the Augustine Dynasty pioneer, His Majesty, His Majesty Augustine I?"

"His Majesty Augustine I was in a dilemma to inherit the throne, quell the rebellion in the south, resisted the alien cavalry in the north, and was able to recognize the heroes of the Luolin family with great responsibilities, creating a situation of the revival of the empire, and naturally a wise ruler." The emperor said this and smiled slightly, shook his head and said, "But after he firmly sat down, he began to suspect the Luolin family, withdraw military power, and acted arbitrarily, so that he had a great opportunity to sweep the northwest, but because he was worried that the Luolin family was big, he missed the opportunity in vain, which delayed the empire's sweep the northwest by two hundred years..."

Pete was stunned.

The two emperors he mentioned were the founding emperor and the other was the Ming Dynasty in Zhongxing. They were both the two greatest emperors recognized by the public in the history of the Roland Empire. However, the boss in front of him did not appreciate it very much.

"Your Majesty, I can't guess."

The emperor glanced at Pitt, smiled faintly, then slowly stood up, and stopped talking about this topic, but walked aside, gently took a long sword hanging from the wall, and held it in his hand.

A trace of intriguing smile flashed across his face, and a buzzing sound came from his sword. The emperor turned around and a hint of coldness appeared in his eyebrows, and he slowly said: "Let the Third Division of Thunder Whip outside the city do not need to enter the city and station on the spot. Without my order, the army will not be allowed to leave the camp."

"Ah?" Pete's face changed and he frowned: "Your Majesty, the Temple of Light is very unstable now. Those Holy Knights are fanatical people. If they start to make trouble in the city......"

"What are you afraid of?" The emperor held the sword in his hand and said lightly: "Can more than two thousand holy knights turn over the world? The emperor has 20,000 guards in the royal city and 8,000 imperial guards. If he can't suppress the church, then even if this empire is destroyed, it deserves it! As for the church... let them have lots! The bigger the Holy Knights, the better! If it's the end,..."

Speaking of this, he gently pointed the sword forward, pointed at Pete's nose, and smiled slightly: "Do they really think that my sword cannot kill anyone?"

A bead of sweat flowed out of Pitt's nose and he trembled out of the study.

The emperor watched Pete leave, turned around and hung the sword back on the wall, walked back to the desk, and glanced at the book "General History of the Continent" he placed on the table.

The book was turning to a page, and the footer was exactly where I had just read it, and I folded a small corner.

The text on the page is:

Biography of the Regent——Chen.

Augustine

"I really don't understand what His Majesty wants to do."

At this moment, on an inconspicuous street in the imperial capital, in an inconspicuous courtyard

A big tree with a lush crown, standing there like a canopy.

Under the tree, there is a mud stove, a small pot on the stove, and the flames are licked under the pot, and a trace of white water vapor is lingering from the mouth of the pot.

Two chairs were placed opposite each other, and one old and one young were sitting.

Messiah.

Rollin.

Rudolph, the current leader of the Tulip family, sat upright, with a calm expression and awesome expression.

The future duchess of the Tulip family originally thought that she was still in the northwest at this moment, but unexpectedly, she was in the imperial capital!

Just opposite Du Weiwei, there was an old man wearing a shirt, but he was extremely clean and tidy. He was lazy and huddled on the chair and covered with a thick blanket. He looked mediocre, and he was even lazy and had no aura. His appearance was no different from the thousands of old men in the world who were basking in the sun in winter.

But if Chen Daolin stood here, he would definitely be surprised. This old guy had an interview with him, the current patriarch of the Liszt family, Lodell's father!

The Tulip Family and the Liszt family have parted ways, but unexpectedly, the top figures of these two big families actually met in this small courtyard in the imperial capital.

Du Weiwei looked at the patriarch Liste, and the old man shrank his head and basked in the sun. She was not angry, but just smiled faintly: "I can't figure it out, have you figure it out?"

The patriarch Liszt shook his head: "How can I know what the emperor is thinking? His operation and mobilization are so difficult to see through.

"Yeah." Du Wei nodded: "If you want to force the anti-Church to take the opportunity to eliminate it, you should deliberately show weakness. However, Your Majesty's series of actions are to show strength. He first killed the bishops of two local dioceses, then mobilized troops to stare at the church's knights' garrison, and then drew the Thunder Whip to the imperial capital... With such a big deal, forcing the Pope to abdicate, no matter how angry the church is, he will not dare to do it without hesitation. But if you do this, what's the use of being able to exert your anger?"

"That's right. I originally thought that the emperor meant to force the church through a series of actions. If the church was forced to rebel directly, it would just be eradicated and done forever. But unexpectedly, His Majesty did this and transferred the army. How could the church dare to act in this way?"

"Unless... Your Majesty has other plans and other purposes?"
