Chapter 144 Kill the Pope

Yun Zhao only saw the rapid loss of talents from the Ming Dynasty, but what he did not see was that many talents from Europe were also being rapidly lost.

It was normal for him not to see that Europe was too far from the Ming Dynasty. Even if there were many envoys in Europe, the emperor Yun Zhao had only some sporadic news about Europe.

However, he still knew the news of Pope Innocent X's death.

After all, the black smoke coming out of the chimney of the Vatican Cathedral will be seen by anyone with eyes.

There is nothing special about a pope being called by God. After all, before Innocent X, there were 238 popes who had gone to serve God, and innocent X he was only 239.

I don’t know when, whenever the Pope dies, people will put countless praises on his name, such as kindness, wisdom, wisdom, light, etc., as if they want to give all the beauty of the world to this important person.

I did not see the angels coming to greet the pope, nor did I see the pillar of fire descending from the sky, burning the Apostle Palace where the pope lives to ashes.

On this day, there was nothing strange in the city of Rome. Even the sky was in normal weather without cloudiness and sunshine. Only those pigeons began to snatch pedestrians fiercely because no one was feeding them.

Little Descartes' eyes were taken back from the fierce pigeons, crushed a piece of black bread, spread out his hands, and a pigeon fell on his palm to peck at the bread crumbs.

A pigeon is not enough to eat. Little Emily has a good appetite and the pigeon is too small. So he spread his left hand with the same breadcrumbs...

My grandfather, who had just come out of the Inquisition, also urgently needed such a delicious meal.

After reading the documents of the Ming envoy stationed in Europe, Yun Zhao did not have the feeling of cherishing each other heroically for this mediocre pope. On the contrary, he had the same attitude towards all religious people - bored.

Sun Guoxin was originally a kind and kind person. Since he began to believe in Buddhism, he has become less good. In Yun Zhao's eyes, Sun Guoxin's Great Living Buddha has become synonymous with darkness and horror.

If he hadn't happened to be standing in the same trench with Sun Guoxin's Great Living Buddha, what Sun Guoxin did in Uszang, Mongolian grassland, and the Western Regions would be enough to make Emperor Yun Zhao raise an army to attack.

Sometimes Yun Zhao doesn't understand why people like Sun Guoxin who have been educated in the Yushan Academy system and are full of sympathy for the lower class become so paranoid and crazy when dealing with academic affairs.

In the past, he would cry and feel sad after watching it. Now, he is conspiring to death every day. The people at the bottom who he once cared for were slaughtered like he slaughtered cattle and sheep just because of his different beliefs, and had no mercy.

In order to compete for the position of the Great Living Buddha, he and Hanlingshan fabricated the horrifying Uszang removal plan. The consequence of this was that the population of Uszang was directly reduced by more than 30%.

In the Mongolian grassland, in order to consolidate his doctrine, he did not hesitate to launch a plan to eliminate wizards on the Mongolian grassland. All theologians who violated his doctrine were among his removals.

Over the years, the witches that have existed since ancient times have been gone on the Mongolian grasslands. Some Huang Cult temples even use wizard skulls and human skins to make various decorations to demonstrate the respectful status of the Huang Cult.

In the Western Regions, he became even more crazy and swept across the Gobi Desert and the desert with hundreds of thousands of Tibetan Buddhists who converted to his disciples.

They had abandoned the gentle missionary plan and began to preach with a butcher knife.

The method of preaching with a butcher knife is naturally extremely effective. Just like a farmer pulling out unsuitable crops in the fields, leaving satisfactory seedlings. His methods are simple and efficient. Judging from the recent news, the entire Western Regions have become a Buddha country.

The reason why he did such a bad thing was to clean the humanistic environment of the Western Regions.

Taking advantage of the grand differences between Buddhism and the U.S., a gap and a boundary of thought are created in people's spirit.

It has to be said that the missionary methods of *** back then were very suitable for the Western Regions. Allah's believers had completely occupied the Western Regions and even the land in the river. Now, Sun Guoxin has created a Buddha kingdom among the people. Because of the relationship between security and strength, this Buddha kingdom has no other way to go except relying on the powerful Ming Dynasty.

Without the support of the Ming Dynasty, this fragile Buddhist nation would be swallowed up in an instant, and there would be no residue left.

From this we can see that Sun Guoxin has long been the kind and generous living Buddha. He has transformed into a politician and a politician with very clever methods.

For this reason, Yun Zhao planned to give Sun Guoxin another ten years, and then asked him to return to Yushan, as his representative would have a vote of veterans, and he would also preside over the religious things on the top of Yushan's snow.

The boundaries of the Ming Dynasty have never been clear.

Basically, as long as the herdsmen of the Ming Empire smashed and discovered a new pasture, it would definitely be the territory of the Ming Dynasty. The border guards who followed the herdsmen migrated together would also set up the boundary monument of the Ming Dynasty.

No one doubted whether the Ming border army did this right. Someone once questioned the border army like this. After he bravely questioned, these brave people usually disappeared, and the voice of questioning became smaller, and in the end no one questioned again.

The way the border army handles the questioning incident is not even worthy of the official documents of the Lantian Dynasty. Only when the secretary-general publishes a new map every year will he ask about the location of the boundary marker.

There must be many people who have died, and even many of them have been wronged.

However, whether it is Yun Zhao, the Prime Minister's Office, the Ministry of Supervision, or the Ministry of Law, they choose to turn a blind eye to such matters.

This made those border troops very enthusiastic about moving boundary markers.

Even in the Ming Dynasty, a group of people who conducted special investigations and discovered new lands were born. These people formed a team and went deep into the wasteland to find any valuable land. Of course, what they focused on was gold, silver, and gem veins.

In the early development, Yun Zhao allowed them to be more chaotic, radical and barbaric. However, in another ten years, such a laissez-faire method would definitely be inappropriate. Sooner or later, the court would regulate and restrain some chaotic places, and finally enter peace and order.

Pope Innocent X is dead, and some of the efforts made by the European envoys should be wasted.

Because the new Pope Alexander VII, who had just been selected through fire and smoke, is a world of difference from the mediocre Innocent X's behavior of relying on his in-laws and sisters, Maidarzini, to manage academic affairs and make money.

Innocent supported the Habsburg tribes in Spain and refused to recognize the independence of Spain's enemy, Portugal.

These are all extremely selfish manifestations. With such manifestations, there will definitely be a large number of opponents and enemies.

Under this situation, the rich Ming envoys will have the opportunity to get along and be like a fish in water.

Now that Alexander VII, who graduated from the University of Siena, has become the new pope, it is very troublesome.

This guy doesn't like money like his predecessors, and doesn't like his predecessors who like to hand over official duties to his relatives. He hides in the apostle's palace and drinks day and night.

He received a higher education and he keenly discovered that theology had reached its precarious time, and many ancient scriptures were completely inconsistent. Alexander VII was ready to find the traces of God from these emerging knowledge.

From these detailed information, Yun Zhao finally understood why new European science was so prosperous during this period of time.

Copernicus was questioned by the pope all his life, Galileo was monitored for his whole life, Bruno was on the stake, and the Inquisition did everything he could do, but not only did the new knowledge not be suppressed and disappeared, but more people began to pursue new knowledge.

Alexander VII cannot live on earth!

This is Yun Zhao's first reaction after reading the document.

European theology must strictly guard against new knowledge and suppress it heavily. The Inquisition must assume its own responsibilities and must suppress any heresy that appear on the land of Europe in the most cruel way!

These heresy must be allowed to take root and sprout in the Ming Dynasty. Only this mellow land in the Ming Dynasty can carry these heresy and allow religion to continue to maintain its transcendent presence.

There are countless assassination orders issued by Yun Zhao in his life. Although those orders have been burned by secretaries of all generations and people have no way to know them, Yun Zhao knows that he once ordered the assassination of many people...

Some of these people are good people, some are bad people, and some are neither good nor bad, but they will not die.

However, these people were all dead.

Dead silently.

This assassination ordered Yun Zhao to write with a red pen.

This means that for this assassination order, all partners on the secret front of the Ming Empire have an obligation to execute, and they will never stop until death.

Qiao Yong, who followed Descartes to Rome, had a gloomy face.

Zhang Liang was also a little furious.

If Innocent X had persisted in living for another two months, he would have a way to pick up Mr. Descartes from the Inquisition through some secret channel, and of course, his loyal friends.

As long as these people leave the Inquisition, there will be no room for them to survive on the European continent. If they want to survive, they can only board the merchant ship from Venice and eventually go to the far east.

After Alexander VII became the pope, he immediately ordered the release of Descartes and all those who were imprisoned in the Inquisition who had a relationship with the new discipline.

This caught Qiao Yong off guard.

After two years of arrangement, nearly 100,000 silver dollars were spent. In the end, such a result was something that Qiao Yong and Zhang Liang could not accept.

"For the sake of the present, we can only kill the Pope!"

Qiao Yong approached Zhang Liang fiercely.

Zhang Liang frowned and said, "Alexander VII is in the Apostle Palace, with strict guards, so we have no chance to start."
