"Hahahahaha!"
At night, in the central district of Tyumen City, extremely excited laughter came from the Academy of Sciences.
In the conference hall, Paul I laughed, hugged Kelulu in his arms and kissed her. He had already learned the news about Katerina's withdrawal from the royal capital Petersburg, which meant...
Katerina does not intend to launch an armed coup.
"I haven't been as happy as I am today for a long time..." After the joy, Paul I sighed to Archbishop Henry sitting aside: "I thought Katerina would take this opportunity to rebel, but I didn't expect that she gave up. The royal capital... Your Excellency the Archbishop, does this mean that she has given up her fight for the throne and recognized me as the king?"
Archbishop Henry pondered for a moment and slowly shook his head: "No, Your Majesty, I think Katerina will not give up her fight for the throne."
"Then why did she evacuate Petersburg?"
"Because they do not have the strength to fight against the Wisdom Cult at the moment, I have already made sufficient preparations. If the Church of Truth dares to take action, they will definitely be defeated." Archbishop Henry said: "Secondly, the Kingdom of Romanov has just experienced During the war, the cities were in ruins and required a lot of time and manpower to rebuild. At this time, a coup was launched and all the officials in the kingdom were wiped out. Who will preside over the post-war reconstruction work?"
"You must know that although these officials will line their own pockets, they still have certain abilities. If you get rid of them, the new officials who take office may not be able to do better than them."
It was too simple to make excuses for Katerina's withdrawal from the royal capital of Petersburg. Archbishop Henry said two of them casually.
"So, we don't have to worry about Katerina and the Church of Truth suddenly attacking?"
"Yes, Your Majesty, there is no need to worry for now."
"Okay, okay, okay." Paul I breathed a sigh of relief and was in a good mood. He was even more enthusiastic about playing with the cat: "Then let's set off tomorrow according to the original plan and return to the Winter Palace. I really have had enough of living here. ....”
"Um."
The crisis was temporarily resolved, Archbishop Henry got up and left the conference hall and returned to his room.
Taking off his heavy archbishop's robe, he played with the brown gilded wooden box in his hand, sat on a chair, and stared blankly at the kerosene lamp in front of him.
The monk in charge of his daily life saw this scene and couldn't help asking: "Archbishop, why do you look so worried? Katerina's withdrawal should be a good thing for us!"
"What was a good thing for Paul I may not be good for us."
Either to explain, or to straighten out his thoughts, Archbishop Henry said in a faint tone: "Katerina's withdrawal means that she does not plan to rely on the army to launch a coup, so who else can she rely on if she wants to sit on the throne? ?”
"You mean...the Church of Truth?" The monk could not think of other possibilities.
"It seems to be just an ordinary retreat, but in fact there are too many thoughts hidden behind it." Archbishop Henry's eyes were deep, and the dim light of the kerosene lamp flickered under his head: "If Katerina does not withdraw her troops, launch a war Regardless of whether she wins or loses an armed coup, her idea is to put herself at the core and be assisted by the Church of Truth."
"Her withdrawal now means that the Church of Truth will be the core of the coup in the future, and she will become an auxiliary."
"Who is the core and who is the periphery? Isn't it clear at a glance with such obvious thoughts?"
The monk's eyes widened and he suddenly woke up: "Katerina and the Church of Truth are deciding the future dominance?"
"Yeah...it seems that the Church of Truth has won. Katerina, such a strong woman, would actually bow her head...This is something I didn't expect, but it is understandable. Without the help of the Church of Truth, Katerina There’s no way Na can beat us.”
Archbishop Henry rubbed his brows and sighed: "What really troubles me is the future. If Katerina launches this coup, it will be much easier for us. Unfortunately..."
The monk followed Archbishop Henry's words and thought about it, and quickly came up with the answer: "If it is based on the Church of Truth, it means... In the future, there will be a direct conflict between the Church of Truth and the Church of Wisdom. Is a doctrinal war going to break out between you and the Church of Truth?”
"That's right, it's a doctrinal war without gunpowder. What the two sides are competing for is political means." Archbishop Henry nodded, feeling a little worried.
Although he is a believer of the Wisdom God Religion, he does not dare to pat his chest and guarantee that the teachings of the Wisdom God Religion will definitely be better than the Church of Truth.
In fact, it was just the opposite. After he had a rough understanding of the doctrines promoted by the Church of Truth, he became unspeakably worried about the future of the Wisdom Religion.
Everyone knows that the most important part of a country is the ordinary people. Without the support of the people, the country is just a mirror image and a moon in the water, which is completely false.
The situation in the Romanov Kingdom was different from other kingdoms. They had a serf system. Although the land belonged to the king, the serfs were the private property of the landlords.
The problem lies here.
Serfs are not objects, they are people. Even if the landlords and nobles regard them as property, they are still people, living people. This is an unchangeable fact.
People will have ideas. The core of the teachings of the Truth Church is to build an equal and classless world based on the people.
If Archbishop Henry was compared to a serf, he would definitely choose the Church of Truth over the Church of Wisdom.
Who doesn't want their life to be better?
This doctrinal war is exactly what Archbishop Henry does not want to see, because he knows it better than anyone else...
Once there is a competition between doctrines, tens of millions of serfs in the Romanlov Kingdom will fall to the Church of Truth.
This was so terrible. Thinking of that scene, he felt chills in his back.
"Marvey Enders...it is really not easy for a pope to establish his own sect..." Archbishop Henry murmured in a low voice: "But you are the biggest weakness of the Church of Truth...As long as we get rid of you , the Church of Truth will naturally collapse."
"Isn't Mavi Enders the person in the prophecy?" The monk asked doubtfully, "If we get rid of him, wouldn't the prophecy be destroyed?"
"The Church of Truth has found a way to become a god. The goddess of truth they believe in will become the real main god sooner or later. The prophecies will not be wrong. Anyone who disobeys the prophecies will be counterattacked." Archbishop Henry said: "But the first half of the disaster stone tablet , and it did not mention that the prophecy person cannot die, which means that his mission is only to establish the Church of Truth and guide the path for the Goddess of Truth. After doing all this, his mission will be over..."
The monk thought for a while: "What if the second half of the disaster stele also mentions him?"
"This is what I'm most worried about..."
Archbishop Henry looked gloomy and somewhat undecided.
Getting rid of Mawe Enders will be of great benefit to the Wisdom Religion. As the founder of the sect, his status is unmatched by any later comers.
As long as he lives, the Church of Truth will obey his orders, and even the goddess will not disobey him.
He is the creator of everything and the core figure of the Church of Truth.
In the past era, every founding pope has done great things, including Albard Berger, the creator of the God of Apocalypse.
Without the guidance of Albard Berger, Nereyinda would not have been able to bury and exile the powerful old pantheon and create the Age of Apocalypse.
The beginning of an era, and its origins, are often tied to one person.
Mavie Enders was the former Albad Berger, and the Church of Truth he founded will become a new pantheon in the prophecy, burying the era of Neleyinda, the God of Apocalypse.
How could Archbishop Henry sleep when such an important person was still alive?
He had already had murderous intentions, but he was even more afraid...
The second half of the disaster stele also mentions the person of the prophecy. In that case, the person who wants to kill Mavi Enders will become an existence that disobeys the prophecy.
But if Marvie Enders is not eliminated, how can the development momentum of the Truth Church be curbed?
Competing doctrine....
Archbishop Henry was really unsure.
The only thing that can give him some comfort at the moment is that the Wisdom Cult has the support of King Paul I, and they have an advantage. If they can abolish serfdom before the Church of Truth...
Maybe it can disrupt the plans of the Truth Church.
But the proposal to abolish serfdom has touched upon the core interests of the aristocracy, and it is impossible for them to agree!
Therefore, Archbishop Henry was very agitated, the plan could not be implemented, and no matter how powerful the strategy was, it was of no use.
Anatole, the God of Wisdom, and the Pope both have high hopes for him. How can he back down at this juncture?
"No matter what, I have to give it a try..."
Archbishop Henry made a decision. He looked out the window at the brightly lit crowds of people celebrating:
"If the noble faction refuses to give in, then they will have no choice but to implement the puppet king plan..."
