Chapter 2050 The Righteous Church! Seed of Ambition!
at the same time.
Orthodox Church.
A huge cross stands in the center of the church, and a faint golden light illuminates the entire church.
While Patriarch Adrian was praying, he suddenly stopped for some unknown reason, and his eyes suddenly became terrifying. However, he still finished his prayer before turning around and leaving.
At this moment, his gaze suddenly became sharp and aggressive.
Sure enough, as soon as he came out, a bishop hurried over, with a nervous look on his face, and said in a very fast tone: "Patriarch, the front line is defeated, the providence of the east is expanding, the territory of the empire is swallowed up thousands of miles, and the providence of the border areas is also.
It is suspected that they were forcibly dispersed by a mysterious strong person..."
"I already know about this!"
Patriarch Adrian interrupted the bishop's words, holding the cross in his arms, and said, "I said at the beginning that the Church of the Holy Spirit has made excuses again and again. Once the war is lost, it will inevitably
It is detrimental to the interests of the empire!"
"However, our emperor insists on using the road, thinking that he can take advantage of the opportunity to annex more land. It is simply stupid. Such a fool wants to abolish this patriarch and try to put the imperial power above the divine power..."
"..."
When the bishop heard what the Patriarch said, he was completely silent and did not dare to say a word.
After a while, Patriarch Adrian stopped and said coldly: "Send this news to our emperor. I hope this news can clear his stupid and dizzy head."
"Yes, Patriarch."
The bishop turned around and left in a hurry, even stumbling awkwardly because he walked too fast.
Patriarch Adrian looked at his back with an expressionless expression.
Holy Castle.
As huge as a war fortress, it is the capital of this newly promoted empire.
"waste!"
Peter I in the palace also received the battle situation from the front line, with the huge double-headed eagle flag behind him flying automatically in the wind.
His face was gloomy.
"They are just a few trash men under the Holy God. I didn't expect that the majestic Demon King from the Demon Abyss would be so useless..."
Of course, the loss of thousands of miles of territory was nothing more. The key point was that the Zhengshen Church made fun of him for losing this war. This was the most difficult thing for him to accept.
At this moment, a close minister came in holding a letter.
"Your Majesty, this is news from the Zhengshen Church."
Pitre I glanced at the envelope coldly, then took it and opened it after a moment. Sure enough, he saw the same description of events on the eastern border, and the content was extremely detailed.
Although it was not mentioned that it was his mistake, a strong sense of ridicule came over him!
Of course, there are still some contents in the letter that deserve his attention.
That is, there is a picture of shattering the will of the border. A man's figure stands in mid-air, with a huge black ferocious dragon shadow appearing around him.
Peter I's eyes flashed: "Come here, go and invite the distinguished guest next to the Queen."
"Yes, Your Majesty."
The minister immediately retreated.
Not long after, a pretty and bookish woman walked in here under the leadership of close ministers, and next to her was the current queen, Yekayevna.
When Peter I saw her arrival, he hurriedly came forward and said, "Why are you here too?"
Ekayevna was wearing a luxurious and solemn dress and said with a smile: "You suddenly summoned my friend from the East. I was afraid that you would neglect her, so I followed you."
At this time, the woman standing next to him finally said: "Cheng Ping, I have met His Majesty the Emperor."
He is naturally none other than Cheng Ping who came all the way to the far west!
However, once he arrived in Far West, he discovered that Far West was not a huge empire as imagined, but instead a collection of city-states and kingdoms.
States were fighting against each other, kingdoms were fighting against kingdoms, and it was pure chaos.
There are only a handful of countries that can truly be called empires.
However, these empires are basically under the control of the three super churches, and this place that has just been promoted from a principality to an empire is a faith parish belonging to the Orthodox Church.
Of course, even within a diocese, there are churches of different sizes, and they even believe in different gods. Some gods are listed on the Mountains of Gods, but some are independent.
For Cheng Ping, this environment is simply the place where he can attain enlightenment!
Therefore, it was easy for Cheng Ping to gain a foothold here, calling himself a "female saint" and win over a group of noble ladies to become his solid supporters, and he successfully promoted himself to the rank of scholar in a few years.
And he himself became a guest of the Imperial Queen.
At this moment, Peter I looked at Cheng Ping, handed the portrait of the man in the letter to him, and asked: "I heard that you are from the East. Do you know this man?"
Cheng Ping's eyes couldn't help but shrink, and he nodded slowly: "This person is the emperor's father and regent of the Qing Empire. He is in charge of the power of the Qing Dynasty. He has personally killed existences at the level of the ancestral realm..."
"Suppressing the Ancestral Realm..."
Peter I also had a gloomy expression on his face, and thought to himself, no wonder the other party was able to completely annihilate such an army in the far west, and forcibly defeated God's Will, seizing thousands of miles of territory!
He was indeed careless this time.
However, he did not expect that the other party, as the emperor's father and regent of the Qing Dynasty, would dare to go to the border in person.
Of course, this also gave him hope.
"Can the power of the Imperial Dao be so powerful?"
This is undoubtedly a huge temptation for him.
After all, in today's empire, the power of the church is extremely powerful. Even though he is the emperor, he still relies on the church for many times. Even if he ascends the throne, he needs to be crowned by the church!
"Queen, please go out first. I have something to ask Ms. Cheng Ping for advice."
Peter I suddenly spoke.
"Yes, Your Majesty."
Ekayevna hesitated for a moment, then turned around and went out.
The door is closed.
It took two full hours before Cheng Ping came out.
Inside the house, Peter I looked at the detailed exposition left by Cheng Ping with hot eyes: "Centralization of power...the establishment of kings...is this the way of the emperor?"
It even describes the entire bureaucracy of the Ming Dynasty in detail.
Compared with the aristocratic system in the far west, the Ming dynasty's bureaucracy continuously attracted talents and formed a path for upward advancement, especially the centralization of power, which was a great temptation for anyone in power.
Not to mention, the unimaginable tyrannical power represented by imperial power!
Of course, if he wants to accomplish this, he will undoubtedly face a huge obstacle, and that is - the Orthodox Church!
“It seems we must try to reform the church!”
Peter I's eyes were bright.
Yang Fan would never have imagined that his action would plant a seed called ambition for the emperor of another distant empire. It would take root and sprout over time, and even move the entire Far West in one fell swoop!
