Chapter 2383 mountsofmercy (middle)

When she was still in France in the 21st century, she once heard Hathor, the **** of love, say that when Napoleon was in Egypt, he had a dream near her temple. In the dream, she asked him if he wanted a happy life. The family still wants to be Augustus.

   He chose to be Augustus, and he woke up with a sculpture of Augustus' head in his hand.

   The words of the archbishop just now reminded her that she can ask the client if he has ever had such a dream. After all, in her time, he had been dead for 200 years.

  Caesar's nephew Octavian was born in a good family, but he is not like that poem wrote, "the strong make the time of ease, and the time of ease makes the weak". When Caesar was assassinated and the situation became chaotic and dangerous, Octavian did not panic, run away or act recklessly, but returned quickly to Rome. His family objected to him inheriting anything from Caesar to avoid those who had assassinated Caesar coming to him, but Octavian accepted Caesar's will and changed his name, quickly gaining the support of the Caesarists.

Georgiana quite liked Madame Kaiser, the aristocratic Ronker who changed her name in order to gain the goodwill of the locals. She even agreed with many views of Frederick the Great, but as later Germans said, "Frederick the Great was A great man, but God forbid, let us not live under his scepter."

  A fervent belief can exert violence, and Hitler once said that any violence, if it is not based on a solid, spiritual foundation, will sooner or later be shaken and unreliable.

  The Crusades were driven by a desire for redemption, while others were meant to protect pilgrims. There are fortunes and other reasons behind these glossy slogans, and the divine destroyers are endless and unwavering.

Napoleon ordered the killing of captives and resisters in Egypt and in Santo Domingo there were people who disobeyed the order, those soldiers were not mercenaries, they needed a legitimate reason to go to war, if they were liberators why kill resistance slave? If the spiritual foundation is shaken, the army will be unreliable. Groups are emotional and extreme, they can't handle overly complex thoughts and emotions, and they don't accept contradictions and discuss like individuals. To paraphrase Napoleon, there is no place for reason in the mind of a fanatic.

  Voldemort incites extreme hatred, and as long as he thinks of facing a moody and immortal "master" like him, not many normal people alive really want him to win.

  Bella was very different when she joined the Death Eaters than when she was in school, where she was arrogant but less moody. After joining the Death Eaters, it was easier for her to cast the Unforgivable Curse than to use clear water, and it was even more incomprehensible why so many people still thought they were cool, even Draco and his henchmen joined them.

This unstable spiritual foundation is shaken by a little problem. Harry Potter's "resurrection" was the last straw that broke the camel's back. The numerous Death Eaters apparated one by one, very It will soon become "evenly matched".

   It is for these reasons that Georgiana opposes the use of shared hatred as cohesion, turning the Pietists into imaginary enemies who would follow in the footsteps of the Jesuits. This organization was created at the University of Paris after the Doom of Rome to counter the Reformation.

The way the archbishop "understands" is simple and easy to understand, but between doing the right thing and the easy thing, Georgiana prefers to do the right thing. It is difficult to ram the foundation of a building, but if the foundation is not solid, it will slant with Pisa. Like the tower, no matter how it is repaired, it cannot be corrected, and this "bell tower" has never been used as a clock tower since the first day it was built.

They need time to discuss and consider, and they are not in a hurry. Belgians are very playful. Their biggest wish is to restore the market day and add more holy days. She also thinks that Joseph II concentrated everyone on the date of the market. It's not appropriate to talk about it together. This is going to be discussed in Brussels. She and the archbishop can't talk about any results here.

Machiavelli ignored the suffocating fear that human endurance is limited. Bonaparte sometimes forgets this. On the contrary, Frederick the Great was "relaxing". He could not abolish the round sentence, at least It can be executed after death, reducing unnecessary torture.

In fact, Bonaparte could have moved the entire diocese of Mechelen to Brussels, just as he moved the political center to Brussels before. Mechelen quickly changed from the capital to a satellite city. For the French who dared to kidnap the Pope Not a big deal.

   Besides cruelty and protest, nothing will change the outcome. The identities of those people are fabricated, and the good and law-abiding citizens will not sympathize with the robbers who break into the house. Joseph II also demolished the walls of Mechelen, making this peaceful city no longer safe. After inheriting Caesar's legacy, Octavian repeatedly emphasized that he was Caesar's son. Many people still remembered the favor brought by Caesar as a tribune, so they spared no effort to support Augustus. As a victim, Napoleon loudly questioned the justices who could be said to represent the people. In addition, he allowed Austria to exchange the public debt at a fair price. He did not need to compromise like Marie of Burgundy, in exchange for the recognition of the citizens.

Belgium has also heard about the issue of French agricultural loans. The church library is not only filled with theological books. During the 12-year truce of the Eighty Years’ War, the Habsburg Archduke Albrecht and Isabella planned to reply to the Netherlands. The devastation caused during the insurrection took measures to stimulate economic development, and although the Netherlands did not return to pre-war levels, it improved, and they provided a loan that the poor could pay back effectively to remedy the social ill of usury.

It would be a lot easier to have someone endorse it, but as long as Georgiana thought about Arthur Young, who was almost hanged in the French countryside, she felt the sword of Damocles hanging over her head. People were different, it was still the Middle Ages.

In the pile of miscellaneous books there is also a book on how to predict the weather. The shepherds of the Netherlands judge the weather from the color of the sun, the haze of the moon, the shape of the clouds, the fog, etc., and the other is to observe the ants and bees. Unusual activity is also a harbinger of weather changes, and pilgrims also need to go out depending on the weather.

  The people of that era didn't even dare to take the sacrament, because they felt that they were not religious enough and their sins were too deep. These desires for cleansing created a market for indulgences. There are even people who practice penance with harsh behaviors in order to gain the strength to resist original sin.

   This includes flogging oneself in the back, although this is not recommended now.

   "This book is very common in the Middle Ages, you don't need to be so nervous." After reading the book in Georgiana's hands, the archbishop said.

   "No problem?" she asked incredulously.

   "I've seen worse than this." The Archbishop smiled lightly.

   She smiled dryly, a little regretting her "fussing".

   "Don't you suspect that I'm lying?" asked the archbishop.

"what?"

   "I know, you can use magic," said the archbishop.

   "I won't use it on you." She said calmly.

   "This is a 'promise'? You won't use magic on me in the future?"

  Georgianna did not answer him.

"The prophecy did work," the archbishop continued, "Barbarossa means red beard in Italian, and it originally referred to Frederick I, who was crowned in Pavia with an iron crown and became emperor of the Holy Roman Empire. , and led the Third Crusade, yet he did not reach the Holy Land, let alone the Holy Sepulchre."

Barbarossa Herreddin's beard is said to have been dyed red, while Frederick I's "red beard" was stained with Italian blood, he attacked Italy six times, and at his coronation Pope Hadrian IV was slaughtered, but he suffered a crushing defeat in his fifth conquest of Italy. In order to express his repentance, the emperor who did not want to lead a horse for the Pope knelt on the ground and kissed the foot of Pope Alexander III.

   Some people also said that he did not kiss, but only signed the "Venice Contract", returning the teaching property, and no longer intervening in church affairs. But Frederick I did not give up and launched the Sixth Italian War. At this time, the Lombard League was established to resist Frederick.

  Frederick's sixth defeat in the Italian war ended, his influence on the church weakened again, and then he launched the crusades, the two Roman emperors from the east and the west met unprecedentedly, and then the Germans sailed to Asia Minor. On a hot evening in 1190, the 68-year-old emperor suffered a heart attack while crossing a river and drowned. His death was regarded by Saladin as a manifestation of God.

   "Why do you care so much about this prophecy?" asked the archbishop.

   "Feel." Georgiana replied, "Also, I have a question."

   "You ask."

   "I met someone, someone I knew very well in the past, and he told me something," Georgiana whispered. "But he almost made me a sympathetic person."

   Archbishop's expression became serious.

   "I've been taught too much by the flood of compassion, my children, my family, everything a woman can imagine, do you think I should repent?" asked Georgiana.

   "Who do you see?" asked the Archbishop.

  Georgianna looked at him without answering.

   "The devil sometimes turns into someone we know well, you have to be careful," said the archbishop.

   "I think I'm going crazy," she whispered. "I just want simple love."

   "I think it should be easy for you to get."

  Georgianna smiled.

   "Why do you feel that way?" she asked after laughing.

   "You are beautiful," said the archbishop.

   "Don't you think this is too reasonable?" she said calmly, "When the outside is gone, there is no reason to continue loving."

  The Archbishop did not answer.

   "It's late, I should go back." Georgiana whispered, "Good night, Bishop."

   After she finished speaking, she left the Archbishop's office.
