Chapter 976: Luxury crime

Because even if they devise a good strategy, the group of people below are the ones who finally put it into action.
In the end, I don’t know what twisted their scheme into.
The more this is done, the more wrong.
It is uncomfortable for everyone to change.
After this incident, Kristin completely recognized the condition of his territory.
Pinning hopes on such a group of people is like hanging one's life on a few strands of hair. A little bit of pressure will completely break down. The speed of the nobles in those places will surrender faster than one.
According to their current public complaints, the army led by the Yongye Army really hit the Huayu plateau.
They only need to promise a little bit of benefit, and those angry leaders will take the initiative to open the city gate, welcome the other party in, and kill the local nobles.
Therefore, the army led by the Yongye Army must be blocked in the fault mountain range, and they cannot be allowed to enter on a large scale.
Under the repeated orders of Archduke Christine, the private armies of the nobles in various places began to assemble at the border between the two sides, led the Yongye Army into the intersection of the Huayu Plateau, and read a strict statement.
In addition, Archduke Christine began to frequently contact his daughter Queen Enid and the top officials of the Holy See.
Attempting to use the Huayu Plateau to merge into the empire that the Holy See is about to build as a price, in exchange for pressure on the Yongye army leaders to prevent their large-scale invasion.
...
Royal capital, Valesta, Lancelot palace.
The capital is still the capital, and the palace is still the palace.
But the master in the palace has changed a new face.
The appearance of the royal capital has also changed with the change of the master.
During the reign of King Laurie, the number of gods, missionaries, and knights belonging to the Holy See of Saint Ether on the streets has increased on a large scale, but they are more or less aware of temperance, at least for the city defense forces and guards directly loyal to the royal family. Awe at least.
Now that Queen Enid is in power, it is no longer a matter for them to keep in awe, but the city defense and garrison are wearing a white coat outside the original armor, and there are huge red crosses on the chest and back. Holy See's Emblem.
Show the world that they have returned to the embrace of the God of Truth.
The pedestrians on the street are either also wearing the plain white cross cloak of the Holy See, or the plain white color that is biased towards the Holy See.
The blooming costumes that were triggered by the large-scale entry of the Yongye Army's caravan had completely disappeared.
The three colors of white, black and red have become the main tone of the whole Valesta.
Behind each color, there is its own special meaning.
White represents purity, and ordinary believers and the army usually wear this color.
Black represents the majesty of the trial, and some special judges wear clothing of this color.
Red represents devotion and loyalty. Most of it is used as an inlaid color. Only people with very noble identities wear clothing of this color, such as the red bishop.
On the main street of Valesta, the capital city, there are crowds of people at the moment, and both sides are crowded with believers in plain white costumes.
"Come, here, here, everyone get ready, the sinners who redeem will come soon."
"Fallen sinners, your eyes have been blinded by money, and your soul has been seduced by demons into the abyss of sin. May you walk the path of atonement and the true God will redeem your souls."
"I pray for your poor and humble souls, hoping you can be redeemed."
"These three sinners not only wore luxurious and prosperous costumes from the realm of crime in private, but also secretly sold them secretly. They not only ignored the decree of the Holy See, but also eroded our simple people. This is the devil's experience. , What are you waiting for? Hit them?"
"Only rotten eggs and rotten vegetables are allowed. Hard objects such as stones are not allowed. We are saving their souls, not killing them!"
Countless rotten eggs and rotten vegetables fell on the three prisoners in the carriage cage like rain.
The three prisoners were not wearing ragged prison uniforms. On the contrary, they were written by the master tailor who was once famous by Valesta ten years ago and was sought after by countless Valestas and led by the leader of the eternal night army. Gorgeous costumes.
No matter how beautiful costumes are, after countless rotten eggs, rotten vegetables, and sludge attacks, there will be no more beauty at all. What remains is a strong stench.
The citizens of Valesta, long ago threw their enthusiasm for these prosperous costumes to nine days away, and some of them were just strong hatred.
Wherever the prison car passed, there was a sound of crusade from the mountains and the tsunami.
After the past, what is left is a pious prayer, in that case, it seems that they have completed a pious ceremony.
The three prisoners imprisoned in the prison car committed a brand new crime-the crime of extravagance.
This weird charge is directed at the extravagant behavior of eating and wearing.
Once convicted of such crimes, they will not only face heavy fines, but also face the serious humiliating demonstrations and trials just now, and accept the reprimands of the believers.
What is unbelievable is that this crime is even popular in most parishes.
But when you think about it, it's not surprising.
Who are the people who commit this crime?
Local lord nobility.
Those low-ranking people, whether they were in the previous Lancelot rule or the Holy See rule, even if they wanted to commit this crime, most of them had no chance.
In the past, they were envious and envy of the extravagant life of the local nobility.
However, because of the disparity in the status of the two sides, I can only dare to be angry but dare not speak, and hold it all in my heart.
The crime being pursued by the Holy See now gives them a chance to openly attack people that they could not attack.
Once this kind of crime appears, new hatreds and old hatreds, coupled with belief instigation, they tend to become very fanatical.
You don't need to personally experience it, just witnessing two such parade trials with your own eyes, and those local nobles will be confused.
The heavy fine is not terrible, but the terrible thing is to be judged by a demonstration.
Once they have gone through the parade and trial, they will no longer be able to raise their heads in front of other people in the future. Wherever they go, they will feel someone poking their backbones behind their backs.
Many nobles and rich people donated most of their wealth to the Holy See in order to avoid this bad luck.
Even if the wealth is gone, there is no need to worry about committing such weird crimes.
This was an unexpected gain when the Holy See's senior officials carried out such crimes.
The main purpose of the Holy See's implementation of this crime in its own diocese is to further control the thinking of believers. This is artificially created to allow the low-level people to express their dissatisfaction.
Dissatisfaction is vented from time to time, and they will not easily go to extremes like the revolutionary parties on the Huayu plateau.
At the same time, this is also a check and balance for those local nobles, making them fearful of the Holy See and let them be at their mercy.
In addition, it can also combat the increasingly rampant smuggling activities of Yongye Army leaders in disguise, preventing them from amassing more wealth from their own territory.
The Holy See has realized that the Yongye Army led the economic erosion and the harm to their rule.
If it is not stopped, most of the wealth of their territory will be used by the Eternal Night Army to use these useless luxury goods, and they will be continuously absorbed from their territory.
But as long as there is a supply-demand relationship and huge benefits, such smuggling activities cannot be completely banned.
This extravagant crime of the Holy See is an out-and-out draw.
Directly cut off the most important one in the supply and demand chain.
When no one dares to wear and use luxury goods from Yongye Army Leader.
The smuggling activities of luxury goods from Yongyejun will naturally end.
Lancelot Palace is a model of the royal capital. There are no places where light focuses, and now it is naturally inevitable. It is now extremely simple.
Some flashy decorations can be dismantled and removed.
The current Lancelot Palace should be the simplest period in history.
Queen Enid is also a plain white, but the same clothes can wear different temperaments on different people.
The plain white clothes make her look more beautiful and not to eat the fireworks.
Only when she was reading the letterhead, her eyes kept flashing, which showed that she was not desperate.
Queen Enid quickly finished reading the letterhead, and looked down at the young man below and said: "I heard that the Yongye Army leader has completely blocked the road from the plateau to the royal capital. How did you come here? An Qi Luo messenger."
"The border between the two sides is long and the road is very complicated. No matter how strong the Yongye army is, it is impossible to achieve a complete blockade. As long as you avoid the main road, let alone a few people, it is not difficult for a small team to pass "Angeluo replied with a smile.
"For three weeks, I didn't take the main road and crossed the 2,000-kilometer blockade. I am worthy of being a student of the University of Adunya. It is indeed extraordinary." Queen Enid gave the stacking high praise and affirmation, nothing else. , This ability to recognize the way alone is not something ordinary people have.
"Thank you for the Queen's compliment." Angelo still looked like he was neither humble nor overbearing, and did not reveal too much young man's pride, as if he had done a trivial, not worthy of praise.
"How are my father and the Ardunian scholar?" Queen Enid did not go straight to the subject, but chatted about the daily routine.
"Both of them are in good health. The queen does not need to worry about it." Angelo replied, "They also asked me to bring greetings to the queen. If possible, they hope the queen can go back to the plateau to take a look."
"If there is a chance, it will definitely be." Queen Enid understood in her heart that the possibility of her wanting to return to the Huayu plateau in her life is almost zero.
Even if there was no deliberate interception by the Yongye army leader, the Holy See would not easily allow her to return to the Huayu Plateau.
"I don't know the queen, how is your consideration of His Majesty Christine's proposal?" Seeing that the other party has not entered the subject for a long time, Angelo can only choose to take the initiative.
There is not much time left for him. When crossing the blockade of the Yongye Army leader, he can clearly feel that the Yongye Army leader is making final preparations.
Once the war breaks out, even if his side achieves a little achievement, it will be greatly reduced.
Whether you can take this opportunity to transform is closely related to the degree of completion of your tasks.
Only when the Huayu Plateau can continue to exist will it make sense for him to be appreciated by Duke Christine.
"Father's proposal, if it were placed five years ago, without any discussion at all, I can answer him clearly. The Holy See will definitely agree to it, but now..." Queen Enid sighed softly. "Angelo's messenger came all the way, and should see the situation in the territory along the way. The Holy See is already in power, and the demand for the plateau is not so heavy, and the influence of the royal family is very weak. I can do far beyond my father's imagination. Much."
"It is precisely because of the weakness that the queen should do something more..." Angelo stopped talking, looking across everyone's faces.
Queen Enid, of course, knew what the other party was worried about, and promised: "If Angelo's messenger has anything to say, it's all her own."
Angelo did not fight an unprepared battle. He did not ask to see Queen Enid as soon as he arrived in the capital of Valesta. Instead, he set aside three days to collect as much information about Iraq as possible. Queen Ned and the current situation of the Holy See have just come to see me.
Angelo is very aware of the situation he is facing. The Holy See will replace the Lancelot royal family and create a new kingdom is imperative, and no one can stop it.
Whoever stops will be stepped under the feet of the Holy See, crushed to pieces.
Only by being in it can you truly feel the fanatical religious atmosphere here.
Fanatics of the Holy See abound, holy powers and miracles abound, and it is difficult for those people to believe it or not.
Angelo is a staunch atheist who believes that the God of Truth believed by the Holy See is just a product of artificially shaped ideas, not real.
The so-called sacred power is just a variant spell. Doesn’t the Yongye Army leader also have similar combat spells now?
The Yongye Army leads from top to bottom, but few believe in the of truth. They regard their lord as their god.
The so-called miracles ~EbookFREE.me~ are just the means used by preachers to fool people.
In order to firmly believe in this, Angelo even got involved in a miraculous arrival ceremony, trying to use his knowledge to dismantle them and strengthen his belief.
What was waiting for was the arrival of an angel. The missionary's tricks of fooling people were not revealed. Angelo couldn't be determined for what he was originally firm.
There is no way to explain the real existence of angels with common sense.
It is no wonder why the ruling area of ​​the Holy See has formed such a fanatical religious atmosphere.
It is no wonder that the influence of the Holy See surpassed the royal family and local lords in a short period of time, and they can be manipulated at will like dolls.
In this fanatical religious atmosphere, even wise men would stop thinking and be pushed forward by people around them, not to mention that most people are not really smart.
In this case, Queen Enid is sometimes obviously involuntary.
