Chapter 30: Chaos

When Osbourne hurried to Monreale Cathedral, the sun was already high. The choir singers had just finished singing the fourth hymn. There were a few pauses, and several children were fainting in the line because they got up too early The sleepy shaking, as the wooden stick in the hand of the leading priest brought a wind in the air, the fifth hymn became clear and ethereal again.
Alfonso stood on the wooden platform on the left side of the main altar and looked at the black crowd below. In front of the crowd were several bishops and priests wearing robes, and later a group of nobles in gorgeous costumes, among them the palace. Max ’s dress is the most luxurious and conspicuous. It is a short-sleeved small cloak completely covered with peacock feathers. With a stripe bodysuit that sets off his fat thighs, Gong Xiang ’s image has become a standout and full. Somehow.
Compared with Gong, his wife is obviously more tasteful. Although it is equally gorgeous, except for a few clusters of dark green feathers on her hair accessories, her dress looks more plain and maintains the Aragonese style, which makes her look steady and Noble.
The tailor stood at the door of the church and looked inside. Although he was very fond of it, he didn't dare to make it at this time. When listening to the priest's sermon, the deep and long voice echoed in the church. Osborne looked around in the crowd.
He soon saw the person he was looking for.
Ding Mu stood a little behind a group of nobles. In fact, he was more willing to stand with the civilians, but Mrs. Neodola was obviously not satisfied with this, so he had to stand with his wife and her husband.
He can feel it, and the eyes cast around him are somewhat strange, especially those ladies.
But I can understand it if I think about it. It is strange enough to think about this combination. The husband is standing on the left, the wife is standing in the middle, and he is standing on the right. The three people still seem to love each other so much.
"I know they are jealous," Mrs. Neodola didn't care about the fact that her husband was next to her. She stretched out her arms and gently embraced Ding Mu's arms. "Did you pay attention to how they look at you? A group of hungry wolves. "
You are the head of this group of evil wolves. Ding Mu wants to move his body, but next to him is a noble lady, and he feels that the lady seems willing to lean on herself.
"Mr. Zioni," At that time, Mrs. Neodola seemed to think of her husband. She turned her head and looked at it. After receiving her husband's attentive nod, she continued to say, "I just got this book from a bookseller. Roman scriptures, but we do n’t know anything about it, so if you have time, come to my house to appreciate it for us. "
Appreciating the creed or appreciating you, Ding Mu is not malicious in his heart. He really admires Mr. Zioni. Why do n’t you be a great gardener with such a broad mind? Does the earth benefit more people?
"I heard that the priest can become a bishop after the bishop meeting, right?"
Mrs. Neodola suddenly asked in a lower voice, her lips were almost sticking to Ding Mu's earlobe, which made the eyes cast around him more heated, but Ding Mu admitted that this topic is not only normal, but indeed It is worth discussing.
"Ma'am, I'm just in charge of the library," after saying this, Mrs. Neodola was just disappointed, Ding Mu has continued to say "but I heard some news, it seems that the bishopric's successor to Palermo The bishop has some objections. "
Mrs. Neodola showed a trace of surprise. She looked at the backs of the bishops who had just arrived from all over Sicily and asked in a lower voice: "Then who do you hear that there is a chance to become a bale?" Bishop Mo? "As the lady squeezed forward again, Ding Mu felt that a bumpy mountain began to rise up beside him." You know that this creed is important to Mr. Zoni. If You are willing to wait and see when the mass is over. "
Ding Mu coughed a little to remind Mrs. Neodola, but he did not expect it to work, but to his surprise, the lady actually gave way, and then he saw the tailor squeezed to the other side of him. .
Four strange people, this is embarrassing, Ding Mu feels a little embarrassing.
"I'm glad you and your wife love each other," the tailor also lowered his voice. He looked at Ding Mu's eyes differently than before, and seemed to have some inexplicable heat, which reminded Ding Mu immediately of Mrs. Niodora on the other side. "But I want to know what do you have to tell me these days? "
It has been a week since I came out of the palace dungeon that day. The bishops from all over Sicily have also arrived. In addition to a few who are too far away, the eleven bishops of the province of Sicily have reached seven. .
It's just that the development of the matter seems to be different from the previous imagination. As Ding Mu said to Mrs. Neodola, there were serious differences among the bishops who arrived, just after a banquet the night before, the bishops broke out There is a fierce debate. The focus of the debate is whether Alfonso can succeed Bishop Palermo, or ask Gao Ming.
The news reached the royal palace that night. Ding Mosi had no doubt that there were other undercovers in the bishop's palace besides him, but for Sophia, he still passed the news to the royal palace through several guards.
Of course, his news is not worthless, because when he was packing up the library, he accidentally heard a news that may not be known to others.
Several bishops discussed while wandering in the courtyard, whether they could consider sending a petition to Rome, and asking the pope to send a "respectable bishop" from Rome.
Ding Mu spread this news, accompanied by a note on the paper to see Sophia, he believes that the news is important enough.
"Let's go talk outside."
While Alfonso ’s sermon came to an end, the tailor first walked out of the church alone. He waited in the courtyard first and saw Ding Mu come out and continued to walk slowly.
"How is Sophia?" Ding Mu, who followed him, asked him if he was actually not interested in whether Alfonso would be a bishop, especially when he discovered what Orleans and Fischer seemed to plan. Compared with those, whether Alfonso can wear the bishop's crown is a trivial matter.
"She's fine," the tailor said perfunctoryly, then paused, and said in a tone that seemed to be discussing or pleading. "I don't think you should care too much about the bohemian woman, you know that you are not suitable for her." , You will be uncertain ... In short, you have a lot of promise. "
"This doesn't have to be controlled by you," Ding Mu said coldly, and he knew what attitude he should take towards this tailor. "I did this for Sophia, and you don't want me to be a person who doesn't miss the old love."
Osborne opened his mouth but could not refute. He knew that Ding Mu was right. If Ding Mu was completely ruthless to Sophia, the tailor should consider whether it was worthwhile to bet on him.
"Well, whatever you want," Osborne waved helplessly. "However, Miyazaki wanted to know how many true bishops tried to ask the pope to send a bishop from Rome. Alfonso Does Suo know about this? "
Ding Mu shook his head. His thoughts in the past few days were completely placed on the book that was taken away by Fischer. Although there were some impressions in his heart, he could not completely sort out some of the clues after all only by memory. The sky was with Michelangelo, and he studied the architectural history of the ancient city of Palermo with him.
Seeing Ding Mu seemed absent-minded, Osborne thought he was thinking of Sophia. Although he did n’t think it was good, he could n’t say anything else, so he could continue to say:
The original Miyazaki thought that resistance would come from Messina,
Ding Mu ’s questioning look , The tailor explained that
Bishop Messina has been coveting the position of Archbishop of Sicily, but according to the regulations, if he cannot become Bishop of Palermo, there is no chance to become Archbishop.

"The predecessor Bishop Malecho is not an archbishop." Ding Mu was a bit strange.
"Malecho, his reputation is too stinky," Osborne's contemptuous lip curled. "Even the Pope does not want to smell him, although the Pope's own taste is similar."
Ding Mu Qingke selectively ignored the obvious disrespect for the Pope in the tailor's words. Although he is a kind of person about Pope Alexander VI, he recognizes that he can be clearer than the bunch of illegitimate children of the Pope, but now it is not When it comes to saying this.
"Master Gongxiang wants to know what the priest has planned, or what he has already started," Osborne lowered his voice. "You probably do n’t know that although the priest and the wife of Master Gongxiang are both of Aragon ’s famous family, they and The nobles of Castile are closer. "
The words of the tailor made Ding Mu stunned. He didn't know why Osborne told him this, but if he wanted to come to the tailor, he wouldn't say anything useless.
Seeing Ding Muruo nodded slightly, the tailor's face hung with a smile of gratification and gratification. Then he looked at the door of the church, and after thinking about the time, he continued: "Miyazaki hopes to know what Which bishops opposed the priest to succeed the bishop, and wanted to know who wanted to be appointed by Rome. If they could talk to the more important ones among them, maybe things would have a satisfactory result for everyone, so they went back to Paler in the palace Before Mo, if you can accomplish this, he will consider letting you see your wife. "
Speaking of this, Osborne licked his lips. When Ding Mu listened very carefully, he slightly counseled his shoulder and said helplessly: "If I advise you not to take risks for a Bohemian woman, you probably won't listen to me, but I warn you to be careful, the priest is a very powerful person. Believe me, even the cardinals in Rome may not be more scheming than him, so you should be careful. "
"I know this," looking at the crowd that had gradually come out of the church door, Ding Muluo waved a hand and said "Take care of Sophia for me, tell her to wait for me, and I will rescue her."
It is not difficult to find out who strongly opposed Alfonso, but it is not easy to let Osborne meet them,
Each bishop is the focus of attention, especially now, when the throne of the archbishop of Sicily, if anyone can become the bishop of Palermo, then there is a good chance of entering the archbishop's throne.
Once he can become an archbishop, as long as he lives long enough, the cardinal or even the cardinal may not have a chance.
In front of such a good opportunity, not only did each bishop vigorously fight for himself, but also his staff were full of vigour and energy, and he was not hesitant to add strength to his opponent's fists and feet.
A carriage slowly climbed up from the bottom of the mountain. Ding Mu used to let him to the side. He didn't expect the carriage to stop beside him.
"What a coincidence, Treasurer," Kun Tuo's suspected brother Krian sat on the carriage and nodded to Ding Mu.
"Mr. Krian," Ding Muye nodded slightly. He looked at the full load of goods on the carriage. "It seems that the bishop meeting made you a lot of money."
"It's all God's grace," Krian drew a cross on his chest, and then smiled and said, "Also rely on the care of the priest. Of course, if the treasurer is willing to say more to me in front of the priest, A good word, it would be even better. "
"It's easy to say." Ding Mu deliberately stood up, showing a large package.
But after watching Krian's carriage enter the church's east hall from the side door, Ding Mu's face slowly sank.
I do n’t know if it is an illusion. Ding Mu feels that this Krian is not only more difficult to deal with than Kunto. His completely ordinary look also makes Ding Mu uneasy ~ EbookFREE.me ~ seems to always hide something.
Miyazaki finally failed to meet a bishop.
Not only that, but something happened that night that surprised everyone.
Was put under house arrest in the castle of Monreale, not far from the cathedral. The former bishop of Palermo, Malecchi, suddenly disappeared inexplicably.
This event shook Palermo!
In order to prevent rumors and sweepers deliberately cover up, but the news of the disappearance of the former bishop spread like wings spread throughout the city.
For a time, various rumors began to spread in the streets and alleys, and more and more strange rumors became the only topic of Palermo people whispering.
In a low and cluttered house not far from Palermo Cathedral, a man with a sloppy hair and a sloppy man scratched his itch and sat in the sun under a sunshade with a big hole.
When he saw someone coming, he would hide for a while, and then see if it was not a soldier or a priest, and then sat down lazily.
"What's wrong with this, what happened on the street?"
Looked at people coming and going hurriedly, and the old man asked in the room behind him in wonder.
A woman came out of the house, and she looked at the man angrily: "You still drink alcohol on Sunday, and if you are caught, you have to go into the cage and suffer. You think this is a rural place like Kalibo."
"There is nothing to fear, let alone the smell of wine, the fishy smell on my body is enough to make people smell enough, don't you just like the smell on my body."
Joniny laughed and looked at the woman up and down, then he reached out and twisted it on the face of the pretending annoyed woman.
But when he was about to continue to tease the woman, Giannini stopped suddenly. He frowned and murmured in the distance: "I do n’t know anyone in Palermo, but how did I seem to see an acquaintance just now?" What about? "
