Just as everyone was taking their seats in the lobby, Richelieu changed into the cardinal's robes in the side hall.
The bright red color of the water makes him look very gorgeous, but even more energetic.
Nonsense, if you wear a color that shows your identity, no matter who you wear it, you won’t be in high spirits!
In another side hall, Louis and Anne put on the king's fine clothes and the queen's gown.
While losing his temper, he waited for the ceremony to begin.
They belong to the finale and must wait until Richelieu finishes reading out Louis' achievements and summons him.
They can only appear as a couple.
Therefore, there is plenty of time.
Louis took advantage of this time to curse Nock Lane and Richelieu.
He said that they were a den of snakes and rats, and they deliberately joined forces to give him power.
Anne on the side also had doubts, but did not join in the scolding.
She's not stupid.
This is the territory of the church, and the church’s eyewitnesses are missing.
At present, the couple still need to rely on Richelieu's support to compete for power with the nobles and ministers of the royal city.
If you offend people here, aren't you asking for trouble?
Therefore, Queen Anne not only did not discover it together, but also kept trying to persuade King Louis to calm down.
At the same time, he analyzed the current situation of the two of them to Louis,
And the current primary enemies are the nobles and ministers.
The couple and Richelieu, it was a situation where both sides would benefit from cooperation.
Richelieu needed someone to help him secure his position as cardinal;
The couple needed Richelieu's support to regain the power of the kingdom.
Especially military power.
There is no army in hand, like today's situation of being insulted by Nok Lane,
Will happen again and again.
But as if they had an army at their disposal, Nook Lane dared to humiliate them like this today.
Their troops surrounded Knock Lane and captured him.
Then find a reason to teach him a lesson, frame some charges, and bribe Richelieu.
I'm afraid I won't be able to kill a mere bishop. No matter how talented a bishop is, if he is covered with stigma,
It's impossible for the Holy Court to go to war for him!
It's a pity that the two of them don't know Nok's status in the hearts of the real big guys in the Holy Court.
That's not just the next papal successor.
He is also a key figure in the revival of the church!
If they want to let the other side know that they plan to frame Nok, they will decide on the spot to change the king of the Kingdom of France!
Just when the couple was analyzing this and that in the side hall, they looked forward to the future.
Richelieu was also ready and appeared in the lobby.
Look at the statue of the Virgin standing in the middle and the statue of the Holy Lord next to the Virgin.
Richelieu felt that today was the beginning of his dominance of the Kingdom of France!
Just when he was about to start speaking and kick off today's coronation ceremony, he was interrupted.
"Wait! My friends! Before you start any rituals,
I feel like there's one thing I have to say first. Otherwise, I'm afraid that in the middle of the ceremony,
My sudden appearance will embarrass everyone.
You know, you are my friend, and we have faced the killers of the Witch Alliance together.
We faced the pursuit of vampires together again, and even in order to help you reach Holy Rome safely to run for election,
I sacrificed a servant, and even lured the vampire away myself, almost ending up on a deserted island.
Fortunately, the Holy Lord has protected you and me, so we can meet together in the Holy Court.
We have gone through so many hardships together, and I don't want to ruin our friendship just because of a little misunderstanding.
You know, our friendship is the bridge at the top of the Alps, hard-won.
Therefore, I choose to tell the matter now so that you can be mentally prepared.
It just so happens that all the lords, family heads, and ministers can serve as witnesses. "
Looking at Nock talking eloquently, Richelieu felt a little uneasy in his heart.
But he couldn't interrupt Nok.
After all, the experiences Nok mentioned were enough to prove their "friendship"!
If he doesn't give face to Nok, then his reputation will be ruined.
Although the people present are all old foxes, there are not many good people.
But no one cares about reputation.
They can hide people behind their backs, and even destroy entire clans.
But on the surface, the just and benevolent lord and family leader must die.
These are the rules of the circle.
If someone's reputation is bad, then you can only be kicked out of the circle.
Richelieu had been in the royal capital for so many years, and finally had the opportunity to enter this circle.
He didn't want to be messed up by Nook Lane.
I don’t know what Nock wants to do, but Richelieu feels that Nock must have bad intentions.
Today's coronation ceremony is his opportunity, and he must not mess it up.
Otherwise, he would offend not just the French king, but the entire French aristocracy.
So many people come to attend the king's coronation ceremony. If something goes wrong,
It’s embarrassing for everyone!
So, after finally waiting for Nok to stop speaking, Richelieu hurriedly interrupted.
"Father Ryan, please say what you want to say. Don't delay His Majesty's coronation."
Richelieu shifted the conflict to Nok, and the guests immediately reacted.
They came to attend the king's coronation ceremony, not to listen to the young bishop's performance.
Nok walked to the stage with a smile, turned around and faced everyone,
He said loudly: “Since Bishop Richelieu and everyone don’t mind, I will make an announcement.
As the legal heir of Notre Dame designated by the Holy Court, I declare that from this day forward, Notre Dame de Paris
Taken over by me, Nock Lane. All activities here today were done without the consent of my master.
It's actually illegal.
But considering that His Majesty the King is about to be crowned, and that Bishop Richelieu is my friend, I will not pursue it.
But in the future, if anyone needs to use the resources of Notre Dame, please send someone to Reims Cathedral in Champagne.
Notification is next. After all, I am the sole heir to Notre Dame publicly recognized by His Majesty the Pope and the Holy Court.
Paris built Notre Dame without my consent, which troubled me very much.
After all, I am working in the city of Reims and I have to inherit Notre Dame, so I am somewhat overwhelmed! "
As soon as Nok finished speaking, he was refuted by the guests present.
"Fart! You little brat! Why do you say Notre Dame is yours!"
We, the nobles of Paris, jointly funded and built this for His Majesty!
It started as early as two or three years ago! Do you think that based on your nonsense words,
Can you just grab it? "
Others also expressed their support for this person in a bad tone: "That's right! Who do you think you are!
Dare to come to Paris and act wild! Don't think that just because you and Richelieu are friends, you can do whatever you want!
He, Richelieu, is not qualified to dominate Paris with one hand! "
Richelieu, who was so affected, was shocked. He didn't expect that Knock actually wanted to take Notre Dame as his own!
He quickly stood up and yelled: "Bishop Ryan! You can't talk nonsense like this!
Notre Dame was jointly funded and built by the Paris nobles three years ago for His Majesty the King's enthronement.
Although it was donated to the church, it was presented to His Majesty by the Paris nobles and belonged to His Majesty's property! "
However, Richelieu's scolding seemed to irritate Nok.
"Bold! You are so bold! Our Lady is the Mother of the Holy Lord and the Holy Mother of the Holy Church.
Notre Dame is a special building of the church. It has always been built and managed by the church.
It is an institution for the church to train subsequent clergy and to take in war orphans.
It represents the Virgin Mary’s love for the world and the symbol of purifying the world’s suffering.
Since when can secular people build privately?
By building Notre Dame without the permission of the Church, you are already offending the Church.
You still dare to donate it to an individual privately, just so that he can ascend the throne here and use it?
You are blaspheming against Our Lady!
Now I, the heir of Notre Dame appointed by the church, have come to take over,
It’s because I’m well taken care of by the champagne-collared Ms. Angeladi,
I gave her some face, so I decided not to hold you accountable without the permission of the church.
The sin of privately building a special church building.
I didn’t expect that not only did you not appreciate it, you actually wanted to privatize Notre Dame.
I want to ask you, ask Louis Bourbon! What does he want to do!
Are you trying to challenge the prestige and dignity of our church?
Privatizing Notre Dame just to give him the throne?
Then I will stand here today and see how he could ascend the throne here without my consent! "
Nok's words were like thunder, causing the crowd to become charred and stunned.
They didn't expect that by paying for the king's flattery, they would offend the church!
If what Bishop Ryan said is true, then they will be in big trouble!
There were some quick-thinking people at the scene who quickly sent someone to inform the king.
At the same time, he also went to Richelieu, pulled him aside, and asked in a low voice the authenticity of Nok's words.
"Bishop Richelieu, are you just going to watch Bishop Lane fool around? There is no need to hold the coronation ceremony!"
Richelieu had never thought about this problem, so he was shaken by Nok's words.
Facing the inquiries from a group of nobles around him, he forced himself to calm down.
"Everyone, everyone, please listen to me calmly."
Richelieu looked at the group of nobles surrounding him and explained with some distress.
"According to church documents, Notre Dame is indeed a special building. It cannot be built at will.
Any attempt to establish a Notre Dame Cathedral must be reported to the Holy Court and approved.
So, on this point, Bishop Lane did not lie.
And it’s true that Notre Dame cannot be privatized by individuals.
According to what was said before, this can only be approved by the Holy Court.
It is a special building belonging to the church. Therefore, if you really privatize it,
That's a lot of trouble. Let the Holy Court know, the consequences will be serious.
However, if you have made a report before and obtained approval from the Holy Court for construction,
Now if it is owned by the state and provided to the church for use, then there will be no problem.
Moreover, as long as it is confirmed that Bishop Ryan is not the successor of Notre Dame designated by the Holy Court,
Then today's ceremony can still go on.
otherwise……"
Otherwise, Richelieu Ming didn't need to say anything later, and people around him would understand what it meant.
"It's over, it's over. The construction of Notre Dame was proposed by the newly appointed Bishop Buenos.
But it was not reported to the Holy Court. This is an illegal construction! "
The patriarch of a medium-sized family who knew about it was so frightened that he blurted out unfavorable words.
"Shut up!"
A big patriarch scolded, and then turned his attention to Richelieu.
"Bishop Richelieu, as a cardinal, you are the leader of the Church in the Kingdom of France.
And you are also from the Kingdom of France. For the sake of your compatriots, please
Please help advise Bishop Lane not to make this matter a big deal.
On behalf of the Paris aristocratic circle, I would like to invite you to join our circle.
You also know that although you are a cardinal, your foundation in the church is shallow.
We can provide you with maximum help,
Help you control all church forces in the Kingdom of France as soon as possible.
I also heard that His Majesty intends to make you the Prime Minister.
If you can suppress this incident, let the coronation ceremony go smoothly.
I can come forward and persuade those ministers not to go against you.
Give you time to familiarize yourself with the Prime Minister's role.
As for whether you can sit firmly in this position, I can't guarantee it. "
The assurance of this great patriarch silenced the surrounding nobles.
They may not all be officials, but the entire high-ranking officials in France are basically from the families of this group of people.
The words of the patriarch were equivalent to cutting off the interests of those in his family who were officials.
But compared with that little benefit, it helped Richelieu gain a foothold in the aristocratic circle.
Help him quickly take over the power of the church in the Kingdom of France,
This is the big head.
Even if they join forces with established nobles, the price they have to pay is not small.
But compared to being questioned by the church, they could only bow their heads.
However, looking at Nook Lane standing in the middle of the field, he looked confident.
They wanted to hack Bishop Ryan to death immediately.
But no!
This is not in line with their noble behavior and is not safe.
Although everyone present is a grasshopper on a rope.
But there is no guarantee that someone will betray everyone for profit.
If they really kill Nook Lane here, they will be greeted by the church's thunderous wrath and catastrophe.
A young and promising regional bishop, who is also a regional bishop favored by the Holy Court.
He died inexplicably at the king's coronation ceremony.
What does the Holy Court think?
What do people outside think?
These nobles have been suffering from the church for a long time.
No one likes to have a big mountain on their head.
When the church was at its peak, they were unable to resist.
Now that the church is declining, they see hope, so they start small actions.
But if they were to confront the church head-on, it would be impossible to hit an egg with an egg.
They are not the Black Bull Kingdom, and they do not have that much courage and confidence.
What's more, the reason why the Black Bull Kingdom dares to confront the church is because their people have been brainwashed by the Red Fire Cult.
But the people of the Kingdom of France still believe in the Holy Church and the Holy Lord.
No matter how dissatisfied they are with the church, they cannot lead a group of people who believe in the church to oppose the church.
Therefore, facing the aggressive Bishop Ryan, all they can choose now is to compromise.
Or find out Bishop Lane's flaws and defeat him using the church's rules.
But the time for the king's coronation was approaching and could not be delayed any longer.
Otherwise, the people outside will definitely notice something strange, and the royal family will lose all face.
They nobles will also lose their prestige.
