"I developed some manpower in Rome, helped the church reorganize their manpower, corrected the problems of the church, and re-infiltrated the Roman Senate." Cyprian explained casually, "But You can only get some open secrets.”
Sima Yi was silent. He had met Cyprian several times. This man gave him the feeling that everything could be easily solved. Sima Yi had only seen this feeling in a few people, and those people were all at the forefront of the times. A strong man at the top.
"Have you infiltrated the Roman Senate?" Yuan Tan vaguely moved the corner of his mouth twice, and he had to admire Cyprian's work ability. That was the Roman Senate.
"I'm just on the line. I can understand some secrets that are not very core. It's not realistic to win over them. Moreover, although most of the people in the Roman Senate are rubbish, they are still relatively loyal to the Roman Empire." Cipri An said with emotion, only after leaving Rome can one feel the centripetal force of the Roman Empire.
In fact, it cannot be said that the Roman senators are all rubbish. There are actually a lot of outstanding talents in them. But facing Cyprian's level, it takes gods like Pompianus and Papinian to directly face each other to win. possible, so Cyprian's evaluation of the Roman Senate's per capita wealth of food and wine is actually not a problem.
Because compared with a guy like Cyprian who had a direct impact on world history, the average number of wine bags and rice bags per capita in the Roman Senate is really not an overestimation. It can even be regarded as raising the standard of wine bags and rice bags.
After hearing this, Yuan Tan felt that Cyprian underestimated the Roman Senate. He could only say that Yuan Tan still did not have a relatively correct understanding of Cyprian. Of course, Cyprian did not have a correct understanding of himself. He had always If I use myself as the criterion for evaluation, I think they are all rubbish.
In fact, according to historical records, in the later period, this guy directly aligned with the so-called God and raised the church to the level of God. That is not an alignment.
It's just that it has not experienced the test of history. Except for Chen Xi, who has no idea that Cyprian has joined the Yuan family, no one knows how strong this guy will be.
"I came here this time because the core ideas of the Eastern Mysterious Orthodox Church you asked for have been compiled. Combined with my understanding of other sects, I think this thing is very good and can solve the problem." Cyprian said for two seconds sentence, quickly bring the topic back.
Yuan Tan needs a transitional thing to absorb outsiders, but the cultural gap between the Han culture and this side is a bit big, and he has a bit of indigestion. In addition, only half of the Han Dynasty is Han people, so they need to guide each other to avoid shaking their own foundations. So I need a god to help.
It happened that Cyprian was very suitable, so Xu You originally proposed, but made a half-baked plan for the Eastern Mysterious Orthodox Church, and Cyprian took over. And compared to Xu You's plan, Cyprian was more radical. Of course, it was just This is certainly true of current religions.
But for the times, Cyprian's method is more reliable, because Cyprian vigorously promoted the secularization of religion.
To be precise, Cyprian should be regarded as the first bishop in history to officially initiate the secularization of religion. This guy pioneered a lot of strange theories.
Historically, communication between believers and gods has been clearly separated, and communication between believers and bishops has been replaced. Following the Holy Spirit has been transformed into following the church. The so-called holy radiance group has been transformed into church administrative operations, and the church of a community group has been forcibly transformed. It has been transformed into a semi-political management entity. What is a professional? This is a professional.
Therefore, compared to Xu You who had to consider the sanctity when forming the Eastern Mysterious Orthodox Church, after Cyprian took over, his main consideration became how to turn this thing into a social activity, just like entertainment. The same as life, a part of a certain kind of life.
After all, it can be regarded as a kind of life entertainment. There are still relatively few happy gatherings these days. If you integrate this as a plug-in, wouldn't everyone be happy?
"So fast?" Yuan Tan was shocked. Shouldn't it take several years to compile this kind of thing? It only took a few months to get to you.
"It's okay. I revised it several times to make sure there were no omissions." Cyprien presented the finished product to Yuan Tan in confusion.
Yuan Tan was silent for a long time, opened the things, read through them carefully, and then frowned. Would the locals in Eastern Europe and the absorbed believers accept this kind of operation? Is this really a religious activity?
"Are you sure the locals can accept this kind of thing?" Yuan Tan waited for a while and finally asked. The reason why he was very conservative before was because these people seemed to care about the gods, which made Yuan Tan feel that he It is necessary to consider religious and cultural issues.
But what Cyprian gave, how should I put it, is very counter-intuitive. It doesn’t feel like a religion, but more like a life and entertainment activity. This way, it is impossible for those believers to accept it, or it may be more direct. , will the other party directly resist?
"Under my operation, it is absolutely acceptable. Only by converting their beliefs into our government can we operate better." Cyprian said in a rebellious tone.
"The question is how can you transfer their beliefs to our government operations?" Yuan Tan could not understand this operation at all.
"There are three ways in total." Cyprian said solemnly. Sima Yi, who was listening on the sidelines, had cold sweat on his forehead. This god came from somewhere. Even this method actually has three options. How is this? possible.
In fact, there are really three ways. The official church operation steals the divine power and cuts off the believers’ rights to free belief, worship, and sacrifice. The church appoints them to form a top-down, inheritable system model. And this switch to a government alternative model.
One step further is the evolution of Constantine's current model in Cyprian, where theocracy and political power are integrated and directly characterized as a god living in the world.
Or there is the Orthodox Church, which was completely influenced by Cyprian. This is also a successful case. The three methods are essentially the result of Cyprian cutting off the connection between believers and gods and following the trend of the times. .
They are the Christian evolution model, the Constantine theocracy model, and the Orthodox Patriarchate model. No matter how you put it, these three models can all solve the problem.
Yuan Tan had a toothache after hearing this. He now feels that Cyprian is not just average, but very powerful. These three modes all have certain minor problems, but these three modes can solve the problems, which is very powerful. Okay, this is not something ordinary people can do.
"Which one do you recommend?" Yuan Tan asked seriously.
"I suggest the second type." Cyprian looked at Yuan Tan and said, while cold sweat broke out on Sima Yi's forehead. The second type, in Sima Yi's opinion, was the pattern of the Emperor of the Han Dynasty. The omniscient and omnipotent god thinks it is God. Isn’t this the emperor?
"Change it." Yuan Tan was silent for a while, "I hate having a god above my head."
Heaven, Yuan Tan can accept it, because Heaven has no consciousness. The will of the Emperor is the will of Heaven. Whatever the Emperor’s surname is, Heaven will have the same surname. But God is different. God comes first, then I, not to mention the name of this God. Who has already made a conclusion? If so, why not kill it?
"Then I suggest the third option." Cyprian thought for a moment and said, "I have a very reliable plan that can cut off the connection between believers and gods."
"Why not choose the first option?" Yuan Tan asked puzzledly.
"I always feel that I chose the first option. Sooner or later, a bishop will pop up. Everyone is equal, but a certain bishop is more equal, so it is the third option." Cyprian thought for a while and said, in fact, the official story of Cyprian This was the situation Li An faced in the end.
Although as the founder, he could drag that person to death in various ways, and even made the other party embarrassed because of the legal system and the interpretation of church power, so that almost all the bishops jointly opposed the other party, so that his orders could not leave Rome.
But no matter what, as the Bishop of Rome, he is born to ride on the head of all bishops. Sometimes justice is so helpless.
"Then let's take the third option. You will structure the operation and eliminate personal interference as much as possible, so that everyone will lean towards us and enhance our centripetal force." Yuan Tan's lips curled up when he heard this. Although he felt that Cyprian was a bit superstitious, as long as It is good if you are capable and willing to fight for the Yuan family.
Regarding today's performance, Yuan Tan thought about how many of his cousins he could arrange for Cyprien. This person is really outstanding.
"Leave it to me to solve it." Cyprian said confidently. This kind of thing is really easy for him.
Cyprian then reported other things and left quickly, leaving Sima Yi alone in the hall.
"Zhongda, what do you think of Cyprian?" Yuan Tan asked with a smile.
"If you haven't seen it with your own eyes, it would be unbelievable." Sima Yi gave a very high evaluation, "It's just..."
"It's not just that I dare to use him even if he is a spy. What's more, he was brought back by Zhang Zhenxi in a sack. Our Yuan family can accommodate everyone." Yuan Tan directly interrupted Sima Yi's words. Yuan Tan is now really Dare to employ people.
Not to mention that Cyprian is definitely not a spy. Even if he is a spy, based on his ability, Yuan Tan would not be willing to kill him even if he finds out. This is just like Cao Cao captured Xu Shu or Liu Bei captured Liu Ba. They all know each other. It's the iron rod on the opposite side, but I will never put it back.
What's more, Cyprian's ability is far superior to that of Xu Shu and Liu Ba. Even if Yuan Tan is targeting this guy's ability, he won't let him go easily.
"That's fine." Sima Yi was silent for a while. He could feel the firmness in Yuan Tan's words, and he also understood that these words were actually said to him by Yuan Tan.
After Sima Yi left, Yuan Tan pressed his temples. How could he not have a headache? He just couldn't show it in front of others. No matter how much pressure or how heavy the pressure was, Yuan Tan could not fall.
When he received the news that Rome had ended the war in Eastern Europe and that Father Steel had self-destructed before the sudden change, Yuan Tan's vision was filled with darkness and his mood was agitated. He quickly got over it. Where are they now? The partial army suffered heavy losses. According to the news, Yuan Tan can still withstand it.
"Uncle Clan, please get pen, ink, paper and inkstone." Yuan Tan pressed his temples and quickly adjusted his position. His eyes were almost calm, and he turned to look at Yuan Zhong who was very low-key and said.
It must be said here that the Yuan family actually has many famous ministers who can hold the post of two thousand stones, such as Yuan Yi, Yuan Hong, Yuan Zhong, etc. These people's abilities are pretty good, and the official history is basically not caused by the internal strife of the Yuan family. , even though he can’t escape the world, he still has abilities.
Therefore, after Yuan Tan established his foothold in Eastern Europe, these people were sent over by their elders. For Yuan Tan, these people were not very useful because they were all one generation above Yuan Tan and Yuan Shu did not like to return. Just like Runan now, he kowtows when he returns home.
Da Zong was of lower seniority, and Yuan Tan was actually about the same age as these people, but they were all uncles when they met, so Yuan Tan kept these people by his side to handle internal affairs.
As time went by, these old men finally figured out that although Yuan Tan's qualifications were not very good, his character and will were indeed formidable and he could achieve great things. What's more important was that this man had the capacity to accommodate others. He was simply like Gou Jian and He. A weakened version of the Lu combination.
That's right, it's Helu, not Fucha. To put it simply, it means that Yuan Tan dares to employ people and is tolerant of others. Even if his ministers make mistakes, he will look for his own problems first, so that he can share blessings and adversities, and he himself is more It is perseverance. With this kind of performance, it really doesn't matter whether you are capable or not.
After all, there are more people working, and there are very few leaders who can take responsibility and share the same blessings and difficulties, not to mention the boss who does his best when encountering setbacks. The Yuan family is not a fool. As long as they don't die, , the world's hegemony must have a piece of their Yuan family.
Therefore, Yuan Zhong and others also respect Yuan Tan very much. Isn't the greatest advantage of people of Yuan He's lineage that they are neither arrogant nor impetuous? Therefore, over time, these people get along well with Yuan Tan.
After Yuan Zhong brought up the pen, ink, paper and inkstone, he thought about it and suggested that Yuan Tan take a rest.
"Such a big thing has happened in Eastern Europe. Instead of letting the generals of Chariots and Cavalry or General Zhenxi explain it, it is better for me to write it myself. After all, the responsibility for this matter lies with me." Yuan Tan said calmly, "Although victory or defeat is a common thing for military officers, This time it was indeed my negligence. The super heavy step should indeed be done, but it should not be done at this time. I will write a letter to explain."
The losses in Eastern Europe are huge, but they are acceptable at the national level. After all, the Roman mines are no longer mined. To play with the Yuan family, if Huangfu Song goes directly, Perennis will definitely come. No matter how hard it is, no one can withstand it. no way.
