Henry IV said categorically: "The parish of Lord is over there upstream, so it is impossible for Cromwell and the others to go upstream and throw themselves into a trap, and there is a small town called Roland Town downstream, where is Joan.
hometown, so as long as Joan and Cromwell arrive in Roland Town, Lord will have no way to do anything to them, unless Lord is ready to attack the entire town of Roland."
"Then should we go directly to Roland Town?" Cai Ji said with a frown: "If Lord knew about Joan's life experience, then he would most likely send people to ambush outside Roland Town in advance, so Cromwell
It would be difficult for Joan and I to escape these ambushes and enter Roland Town."
"No, they don't need to enter Roland Town."
Henry IV used a charcoal pen to mark a small dot on the map, which was the location of the town of Roland, and then marked another point not far to the south of the town of Roland. "Joan's external identity is a certain person in the town of Roland."
The son of a businessman, but he is actually the son of a farmer from an unknown village outside the town of Roland. However, this farmer was also a priest. He was kicked out of the church decades ago because of drunkenness and trouble, and he has been working as a priest in this village ever since.
He is a farmer, but his teacher, who is also Joan’s teacher, often helps him and gives him some of the church’s fruit and vegetable orders, so the land in this small village basically belongs to Joan’s family.”
As soon as Henry IV finished speaking, David opened the curtain of the carriage and said: "Your Majesty, the latest news left by Violet is that Lord has sent people to Roland Town, and Lord has forced the people in Canossa Castle
All the cardinals support him as the new pope."
"So fast?"
Henry IV was a little surprised and said: "The bones of these cardinal archbishops are a bit soft. They didn't even last a day and then took refuge in Lord?"
David shook his head and said with a wry smile: "Your Majesty, you don't know something right now. This Lord is responsible for punishment in the Holy See, so it is a miracle that those red archbishops with thin skin and tender flesh can survive one night.
; But now there is good news, that is, several of Lord's men have chosen to abandon the dark side and turn to the bright side. They are contacting the red archbishops in other places to join forces to sue Lord, and may have contacted the Holy See Guards."
"Oh, it seems that it is basically impossible for Lord to become the new pope, unless he can deal with the elm heads of the Holy See Guards."
Henry IV thought for a while and said to David: "You send a message back to Violet and ask him to continue to lurk in Canossa Castle. If necessary, you can support Lord to do some bold things and strive to let Lord
Take your own people to fight with the Vatican Guards, and get rid of a few more red archbishops by the way, so that we can arrange for one or two more red archbishops to enter the Vatican. Then the next pope may be mine.
Friends."
David bowed to Henry IV, then turned and left.
Before Ye Yuanfeng and Cai Ji could speak, Henry IV took the lead and said: "This Violet is my undercover agent in the Vatican, but to be precise, he should be a chess piece that my father helped me prepare in advance, because my father was
I have realized that my end is coming, and I was still too young at that time. It is very likely that I will be controlled by various forces. Among them, the most likely one to take action against me is the Holy See. After all, I am an elector after all.
, as long as the Holy See controls me, it will have the opportunity to control the next emperor of the Holy Roman Empire, and the Holy See does so."
"Huh? Brother, what you are saying is that the reason why you became the emperor of the Holy Roman Empire at such a young age is actually because the Holy See wanted to turn you into their puppet?" Ye Yuanfeng asked with a frown.
Henry IV nodded and said seriously: "That's right, otherwise you think that I, a young man in his twenties, could possibly rely on a Franconian who is not the strongest among the electorate countries to become the leader?
Where is the Emperor? After I became an adult, I already realized that the Holy See wanted to control me as their puppet, and then Violet also sent a secret report telling me that the Holy See had bribed the votes of many joining countries to vote for me, so
If I want, I can become Emperor of the Holy Roman Empire."
"At the beginning, I was prepared to refuse. After all, even if I became the emperor of the Holy Roman Empire, what would it mean if I was a puppet? But I saw that Violet had prepared plans for me to deal with An in the secret report.
Nuo's handle, uh, this Annuo is the Archbishop of Cologne, the first person in charge of the Holy See in Franconia; so I took advantage of the trick and showed weakness for the time being to let Anno lower his guard against me, and then notified the Holy See to start their puppet plan, and then waited.
If I really became the emperor of the Holy Roman Empire, I would immediately change my offensive and use those excuses to directly execute Annuo."
At this point, Henry IV sighed and said with a wry smile: "So I was still too young at the time and didn't know what it meant to be a human being so that we could meet each other easily in the future; if I had just exiled Annuo, then I would be better now.
I should be drinking wine and singing in the palace of Franconia, instead of being forced to come here to plead guilty... After I put Annuo to death regardless of all objections, some nobles began to
He became disobedient and began to oppose me in every aspect. Finally, he caught one of my mistakes and worked with the Holy See to force me to come here to see the Pope."
Henry IV smiled self-deprecatingly again, looked at Ye Yuanfeng and Cai Ji and said, "If my two brothers hadn't appeared in time, my reputation would have been really discredited. Maybe after a few hundred years, I think
There will still be people who will use this matter to laugh at me, an embarrassing emperor; so I have already thought about it. After I return to Franconia, I will work hard to govern, first liquidate those nobles, and then I must attack them in my lifetime.
Go to the Papal Kingdom! It doesn’t matter because I am embarrassed, as long as someone supports me!”
As soon as Henry IV finished speaking, David said outside the carriage: "Your Majesty, the message has been sent back, so are we going to Roland Town now?"
"Yes, let's go to Roland Town, but David, be careful when you are serving as a scout. There must be Lord's people ambushing you along the way."
After giving instructions to David, Henry IV continued to say to Ye Yuanfeng and Cai Ji: "To be honest, I actually don't know who this Violet is."
PS: The second update should be before eight o'clock.
