Bishop Edward was so drowsy that he had no sense of consciousness when he was sent back by the soldiers. He did not wake up slowly until the lights were in the evening.

"Sir, you finally woke up, but you scared us to death."

"Yes, you just went to His Highness the Prince's palace. Why did you look like this when you came back? What happened?"

"Do you want the doctor to come and see you? Your face is pale and seems to be very bad."

When Edward woke up, everyone hurriedly surrounded him.

"Get out, get out immediately. No one is allowed to come in without my order." The trauma underneath Edward took a deep breath in pain, and immediately drove everyone out.

After seeing that he was the only one left in this huge room, Edward lifted the quilt and looked under him. At this moment, it was red and swollen, and there was almost no feeling.

Edward's heart was cold and he couldn't help but curse: "This little bastard who was killed by a thousand swords, I want to kill you, kill you, and I want to let you feel this feeling too."

When everyone outside the door heard Edward's heart-wrenching scolding, they couldn't help but look at each other. What happened that made the Bishop so angry.

"Come, come." Everyone was puzzled and heard the sound inside, and quickly lowered their heads and ran in and fell to their knees, not daring to show off.

"Immediately call all the nobles and priests in the Algarve region. I want to convene a parliament. I want to expel Tim from his church and make him feel in pain. I want to let him know that his power comes from the church. If he dares to persecute the clergy of the church, he will definitely get the most serious punishment." Edward pinched the quilt with both hands, wishing to pinch Tim to death like a quilt. Such a great humiliation would not be Edward if he did not take revenge.

The bishop who was following the crowd was about to attack His Highness the Prince, and they were all so scared that they couldn't help but confirm again: "What? Sir, are you going to attack His Highness the Prince?"

These people were stunned. Why did the Bishop suddenly want to attack His Highness the Prince? If it were the usual nobles, they would have acted according to the orders, but today they might not be able to do so. After all, they were not ordinary nobles, but His Highness Tim, the prince of the Portuguese Kingdom. How can the king explain it?

"Why are you still standing there? Didn't you hear my order?" Edward looked at everyone standing there, and was so angry that he grabbed the thing next to his hand and threw it out.

Everyone was so scared that they had to act as quickly as possible.

Edward stared at the front with blood red eyes. At this moment, he just wanted to kill Tim immediately.

Edward conspired to destroy Tim here, and in the royal palace in Algarve, Tim was also thinking about how to weaken or even eliminate the power of the church. However, it was not easy to eliminate the power of the church, because the status of the church was too high.

Tim knew very well the history of Europe in the medieval times that the supreme ruler of Europe in this era was not the kings of various countries, but the Pope, the supreme leader of the Christian church.

Popes of all generations advocated the "theory of the power of the king" and formed a more detailed explanation based on this theory, that is, the power of the king comes from the church, the power of the church comes from God, and the church is the exercisor of God's will.

In order to convince the people, the church also took great pains to find the so-called theoretical basis from the Bible and weave a short story.

It is said that in the Bible, Jesus asked his disciples to prepare two swords, namely spiritual power and secular power. Jesus gave both swords to the church, which was owned by the pope. Through the coronation ceremony, the pope temporarily handed over the sword symbolizing secular power to the emperor. Therefore, the pope is the real owner of secular power, and the emperor is only the actual possessor of secular power entrusted by the pope. The power of the secular ruler comes from the granting and commission of the church, and must obey the church and serve the church. The power of the church is granted by God to Peter and his heir, the Pope. Therefore, obedience to the pope is an indispensable condition for anyone to be saved.

It can be said that the people's thoughts were completely ruled by this theory, and even many nobles were ruled by this theory. Everyone was very afraid of the church, for fear that the church would take their power and lives if they were unhappy.

In Tim's opinion, this theory is so ridiculous that it seems that it cannot survive without the church. Although he does not admit to believing in this theory, his people are convinced of it.

So now he is in a difficult situation and has offended Edward. Then his life will not be calm in the future. Of course, for Tim personally, he is not afraid of getting into evil with the church. He will definitely open up a new route in the future, and he will definitely develop the army to participate in European competition. To achieve these hegemonies, which one does not need money? If the church is not removed, will the huge wealth brought by the new route be taken away by the church to build the church? This is what Tim absolutely does not want to see.

If you want to develop, you must have enough wealth and get rid of the church. Over the past few hundred years, the operation of the church has accumulated a lot of wealth. It can be said that almost all the fiscal revenues of various countries have been taken away by the church. If the country has no money, how can it have the energy to do other things?

While Tim was thinking carefully, Nathan rushed in with a hurry: "Your Highness the Prince..."

"Are you going to say something big again? As the captain of the guard of this prince, can you be calm and calm? Remember that things have not happened in the future, then this is not a big deal." Looking at Nathan's expressions similar to Bai Tian, ​​Tim had a headache: "Tell me, what do you want to tell me?"

Nathan scratched his head awkwardly, and then reported seriously: "Your Highness, according to the investigation by the royal guards, Bishop Edward sent a large number of people to the direction of the nobles' homes, so his subordinates came to report to Your Highness."

"O? Go to the homes of all the nobles!" Tim squinted his eyes and quickly figured out Edward's intention: "O, it seems that Edward wants to unite with the nobles to get rid of me? But then we have to see if you have this ability."

After thinking a little, Tim made a decision: "Nathan, immediately send someone to find out the information of the important family members of the noble family as quickly as possible, and then prepare to invite them all tomorrow. Then, my father sent someone to send some jewelry from Lisbon, and asked me to reward you ladies and masters, so that they must come. If there is anything you don't come, tie it up for me."

"Yes." Nathan nodded and agreed: "Don't worry, your highness, I will definitely do it."

Tim nodded with satisfaction: "Also, immediately transfer the surrounding troops back overnight and let them stay around the palace, the faster the better."

"yes."

"By the way, Nathan, is there anyone with a sensible voice in the palace?" Another idea came across Tim's mind.

"There is a servant who is very eloquent." Nathan quickly answered truthfully.

Wave Nathan to leave: "Since that's the case, let him come to see me."
