According to the practice of the ecumenical church, the venue for electing the pope is the Sistine Chapel in the Vatican Palace in Rome. After a pope dies, about a hundred cardinals from all over the world gather in the Sistine Chapel to elect the next pope by voting among themselves. Before they enter the church until a new pope is elected, the cardinals' contact with the outside world is basically interrupted. In theory, they can only obtain water, food, and some necessary daily necessities from the outside. There will also be dedicated personnel guarding the entrance and exit of the church for inspection. Of course, sinful money is not allowed into the Sistine Chapel. The most that can be entered is the notes of the Medici Bank...
However, Archbishop Bai Jinbai, who came to elect the pope with a lot of silver rupees sponsored by Kangxi Khan, neither went straight to Rome nor went to Florence, the home of the Medici family, to save money. He did not even enter the Mediterranean. Instead, he asked Shi Shilun Both third-level battleships were sent to Calais, France. After landing in Calais, Archbishop Bai, Zhang Dazhen and Mongolia's Zhijun Wang Yinti took the gifts given by Kangxi Khan to Louis the Great and went straight to the Palace of Versailles southwest of Paris.
Due to the capture of Vienna by the Ottoman Turkish Empire, the Christian camp in Europe had to undergo drastic reorganization in the past few years. The Habsburg family, which was hit hard by the loss of Vienna and most of Austria, had to give up a series of crowns such as Holy Roman Emperor, Archduke of Austria, King of Bohemia, and King of Hungary. Leopold I, the leader of the Harbourg family, also had to pick up the title of Spanish Emperor and ran to Mexico City in despair.
The crown of the Holy Roman Empire, the crown of the Archduke of Austria, the crown of the King of Bohemia, and the crown of St. Stephen of Hungary that Leopold I lost were all picked up one by one by King Louis XIV of France. .....I'm so happy!
Now Louis XIV is awesome. He is not only the King of France, but also the Emperor of the Holy Roman Empire, Archduke of Austria, King of Bohemia, and King of Hungary. In addition, he is also the Emperor of the French Colonial Empire and the Grand Duke of some miscellaneous principalities. He is currently seeking the title of King of Switzerland.
Switzerland gained its independent status in the Treaty of Westphalia signed in 1648, but Louis the Great defeated the Ottoman army at the Battle of Cesky Krumlov-Linz in the summer of 1690 and regained it. After arriving at Linz and Wieselburg, he issued the "Salzburg Edict" to the envoys of European countries, including the Swiss Alliance, in Salzburg, declaring the Treaty of Westphalia invalid and demanding The cantons of the Swiss Confederation elected him, the defender of Switzerland, as King of Switzerland!
From now on, Switzerland can no longer pretend to be a neutral country.
As he wore more and more crowns and crowns on his head, Louis the Great's authority naturally became more and more powerful. He had to take care of what Caesar should take care of in Western Europe, and he also had to take care of what God should take care of... .For example, Emperor Louis the Great had to ask carefully about who would be the next Pope of Rome.
The last pope didn't have enough magic power and was actually destroyed by the devil during a battle with him!
What does such a pope come to do? If another useless pope is elected to delay God’s important task of destroying the devil, then it would be better to let Louis the Great himself, who “is of many countries”, serve as the pope!
Maybe this is what God really means?
In the splendid Harvest Hall of the Palace of Versailles, Louis the Great, who had so many titles that he could hardly remember them all, was sitting on a throne. In addition to a few court nobles dressed like cauliflowers, there was also an expert on Oriental issues, not the British one. Ji Dabao, Professor of Oriental Studies at Cambridge University, is Longkodo "Little Duozi", the military attaché of the Mongolian Embassy in Paris... He is following his Ama, the outgoing Imperial Ambassador of Mongolia. They moved together from The Hague, Netherlands, to Versailles, the center of Europe.
After arriving in Versailles, this "little boy" took to the water like a duck in water. He was young, energetic, and loved to play. It didn't take long for him to become a celebrity in the fashion circle of Versailles. He also became good friends with Louis the Great, and they met every now and then. Hanging around Louis the Great.
Today, Emperor Louis the Great heard that the Cardinal Archbishop Josim Buvert, whom he supported, the new Mongolian Imperial Ambassador Zhijun Wang Yinti and a great Mongolian Celestial Master came to Versailles, so he asked people to Called "Xiao Duozi" to serve as a consultant on Eastern issues.
Following the sound of a trumpet, a cardinal, a prince wearing a flower feather, a priest with a dusty robe, followed by the French Foreign Minister Hugo Leonard and a palace guard dressed like a parrot filed in. Entered the Harvest Hall of the Palace of Versailles.
Emperor Louis the Great saw the man holding a "broom" (whisk) at a glance, and he immediately understood that this man must be a "Chinese wizard" - only wizards would use a broom as a means of transportation! But the broom is so small, how can this "Chinese wizard" ride it? The stick on the broom is so thin that it’s not comfortable to ride on!
While he was thinking about this, the red archbishop Josim Buvit, the Mongolian imperial ambassador Zhijun Wang Yinti, and the "Chinese wizard" holding a broom were already bowing to Louis the Great.
Hugo Leonard, Louis's foreign minister, introduced Louis one by one. In fact, Louis did not know any of them, including Josim Bouvert, the red archbishop whose Chinese name was Bai Jin, which means Mingyuan. Although Bai Jin was recommended to Kangxi by Louis himself, he also wrote the letter of recommendation based on the recommendation of his subordinates. In fact, he had never met him in person.
This time Louis knew that Josim Bouvitt was here to choose the Pope, so his attitude was naturally not very enthusiastic - Louis himself wanted to be the Pope, but was too embarrassed to mention it. It would be best if no one dared to be the Pope, and in the end the Roman Church He had to be given a "white robe", so he reluctantly became the pope.
But now there is someone who is not afraid of death and wants to choose the Pope... It's a bit difficult to handle!
Thinking of this, Emperor Louis the Great asked Archbishop Bai: "Your Highness Bouvert (the Cardinal Archbishop can be called His Highness), I heard that you are going to run for the Pope, but how much do you know about the devils that appear in America?"
This should be a difficult problem - Archbishop Bai is the cardinal archbishop of the Catholic Archdiocese of India. He can catch the devil in India, but where can he find the devil in America? If Archbishop Bai can't answer, then Louis will have a reason not to let him be the pope... This is for his own good, lest he can't deal with the devil and finally let the devil be destroyed.
"Your Majesty," Archbishop Bai replied confidently, "I know the devils of Shang Fang Kingdom very well. Do I know what they are?"
"Really?" Of course Emperor Louis didn't believe it. "Cardinal Archbishop, how do you want to prove it?"
"Your Majesty, I have a witness!" As he spoke, Archbishop Bai pointed at Zhang Hongtian, who was holding a whisk next to him and looking at Emperor Louis. "Your Majesty, this Master Zhang is the descendant of the Shang Fang Devil!"
"What!" Emperor Louis almost jumped up from the throne and raised his finger to point at Zhang Hongtian, "He, he is the devil?"
This scares Louis!
He hasn't become the Pope yet, so why did the devil come to find him?
And... wasn't this devil sent by Kangxi Khan of Great Mongolia? What is the relationship between Kangxi Khan and the devil? Could it be that Kangxi Khan's soul has... No, Kangxi Khan is not a Christian, he has no soul!
"Your Majesty, he is not a devil, but the descendant of the devil from Shang Fang!" Archbishop Bai replied, "The so-called devil from Shang Fang is actually one of the three gods worshiped by Chinese native religion, named Shangqing Ling. Bao Tianzun, also known as Tongtian Cult Master!"
Archbishop Bai said "Shangqing Lingbao Tianzun" and "Tongtian Cult Master" in Chinese, so Longkodo next to Louis understood it immediately, and immediately exclaimed: "Ah! Tongtian Cult Master? Isn't this? "The Romance of Saints"? Zhenren Zhang, Bishop Bai, what is going on? How did the devil of Shang Fang Kingdom become the leader of Tongtian?"
Zhang Hongtian and Zhang Zhenren didn't understand French, so of course they didn't know that Bai Jin, a foreign monk, had "betrayed" him. Now when Long Keduo asked, he didn't take it seriously and nodded: "Don't you know? The Taoism of Shang Fang Kingdom is Jie Taoism, which is the sect that always likes to accept animals as its disciples. It is not the same as ours. The founder of their religion is Lingbao Tianzun, one of the three pure Taoists in our Taoism! The magic power of this Tianzun is of course powerful. , it is normal for the Pope to fight against him."
There were other translators around Louis the Great, who immediately translated the words of Longcordo and Zhang Zhenren into French.
Emperor Louis the Great understood as soon as he heard it. It turned out that this devil was not Lucifer, but a foreign devil called Pope Babel... No wonder the Pope of Rome couldn't deal with him! We are all Popes, so their magic power should be about the same. That Alexander VIII was too old. If he couldn't compete and died, you can't blame God.
"Then, is that Pope Tongtian very powerful?" Emperor Louis asked quickly.
If Pope Tongtian has unlimited power, then he will not be the Pope...
"My Majesty," Bai Jin said, "As far as I know, the magic power of Taoism is the so-called natural magic... The book "Mathematical Principles of Natural Magic" has made it very clear."
"Mathematical Principles of Natural Magic" has a total of five volumes. It is a physics and "magic" (chemistry) work, which mainly explores the phenomena of "natural forces" and "natural law". Although the concept of "magic" is used, it is actually a work on natural philosophy (there is no natural science yet). Bai Jin himself is also a scientist and has served as an academician of the French Academy of Sciences in history. Of course he can understand the "Mathematical Principles of Natural Magic".
Louis XIV was also a scholarly emperor. He had also read this masterpiece that "redefined magic and natural philosophy." Of course, he also knew the difference between natural magic and other magic.
"But Pope Alexander VIII..."
Bai Jin said: "God summoned him to go to the Kingdom of Heaven, which just shows that the magic of Shangfang Kingdom is natural magic, not the devil's black magic... Natural magic is a tool given by God to mankind. In other words, God has given us As a tool to defeat the Shang devil, we should no longer ask God to show his power, we should use the natural magic given by God to defeat our most dangerous enemy!"
"Bishop," Louis XIV was still doubtful, "are you telling the truth?"
Bai Jin smiled and said: "My Majesty, Master Tongtian, Taishang Laojun, and Original Heavenly Lord are all the founders of the Sanqing Dynasty of Chinese Taoism... They are equivalent to the archangels in our Christianity. And the Great Mongolia Zhang Zhenren, who was sent by Kangxi Khan to help you understand the situation of the devils in the Shang Dynasty, is equivalent to the archbishop of Taoism. He is the descendant of the founder of the Three Qing Dynasties and has also inherited the magic of the Tongtian leader. Can you ask him what real magic he has? "
It seems to make sense!
Louis XIV said in Latin to Longcott next to him: "Duoduo (this is the nickname), ask this Bishop Zhang if he knows real magic? Not the kind of natural magic, but supernatural magic. Also, will he fly on that little broomstick?"
Longkodo was amused by Louis XIV's words. He did not ask the real person Zhang, but directly said to Louis XIV: "Your Majesty, I have known this real person since I was a child. He has no supernatural spells at all, and he can't ride a horse." Flying on a broomstick... In today's Mongolia and Ming Dynasty, no one can fly on a broomstick."
...
"Archbishop, Hugo, please take a seat."
Longkodo, Zhang Hongtian, and Yinti have all left the Palace of Versailles. Now only Louis XIV, Leonardo, and Bai Jin are still in the King's Audience Hall.
Under Louis XIV's order, Hugo Leonard and Bai Jin had already sat down on the two chairs respectfully.
Louis XIV looked at Bai Jin, was silent for a while and then said: "Archbishop, are you really sure that there is no supernatural magic in Shangfang Kingdom?"
"It's absolutely certain." Bai Jin replied very definitely, "Your Majesty, even if you don't believe in me, you should believe in God. If our enemies have supernatural power, then God will definitely give us the same power."
"Can you guarantee it?" Louis XIV asked.
Bai Jin immediately understood what Louis XIV's words meant. He immediately stood up and bowed respectfully: "My Majesty, if I become the Pope, I can guarantee that our enemies will not have supernatural powers... ....At the same time, I will ask God to deny the enemy any supernatural powers!"
Bai Jin, who does not believe that the Shang devil has supernatural powers, firmly believes that he can contact God after becoming the pope...
Louis XIV asked: "Bishop, can God give us supernatural powers?"
Emperor Louis knew that the enemy could not "cheat", but he still wanted to "cheat" himself...
"Your Majesty," Bai Jin said with a smile, "In fact, we already have a supernatural power, and that is the power of faith! This is the decisive force that enables us to finally defeat the Shang Fang and the Ming Empire!"
