Chapter 122 Benedictine
The old king parted in disagreement, but he barely reached an agreement, and another obstacle to the trip to America disappeared.
However, the rigidity of the father-son relationship is indeed not fake. Both of them are stubborn and stubborn. However, the old king could not hide his appreciation for him, otherwise he would not have taken him to the study room to give a lecture.
"Okay, just keep it like this!" After leaving the study room with a tense atmosphere, Charlie immediately breathed a sigh of relief.
For this king, he had to stay in Rome for his whole life and be his nameless king of England. Charlie also served delicious food and drinks, and achieved the task of reviving the royal family by himself.
He was brainwashed by religion since he was a child. The British avoided such a king, and his predecessor was also a devout Catholic. This is probably because there were few supporters of the uprising!
However, if you make a mistake in one step, you will stand on the side of the Catholic Church. Naturally, you will be in the same queue as France, Spain, and Portugal. You can only make mistakes just by mistake.
"Charlie, my child!" As soon as he saw him come out, his mother Maria had a loving smile on her face. Charlie unknowingly showed a sincere smile for such a mother who loved her son.
So, I chatted with this mother for more than an hour and then had a warmer lunch with my family. The loneliness in my heart was relieved a lot.
Let’s talk about some interesting things about Scotland and then discuss the faith of God. The atmosphere of a lunch is quite good, and Charlie breathed a sigh of relief as if he had completed a task.
Saying goodbye to this eloquent mother, Charlie took his younger brother Henry to the small garden, walking and talking.
“How long have you been in the church?”
"Half a year!" Henry said weakly.
"Do you have any plans?" Charlie stopped and looked directly at his younger brother.
"No...no--" Looking at the face that was eyeing him, Henry chose to surrender.
"I need your help, my dear brother, Duke of York!" Looking at this younger brother who was seventy-sixth-minute, but with a simple face, Charlie directly chose to showdown.
"Please say, my brother." Years of traditional education in the church have allowed him to develop a peaceful character. Henry looked at Charlie and said softly.
"The British Isles no longer have the Stuart family's place, so I target the Americas!" Charlie stared at the dark blue eyes with bright eyes and said excitedly.
"New France needs an Archbishop, and you, will take up this position, I hope you can help me!"
Hearing this, Henry couldn't help but feel silent. If nothing unexpected happens, he will serve as the nameless Bishop of York, then go to a castle in Italy, and then be promoted to the top of the church, with a smooth future.
For him who has a calm personality, this kind of life is the most suitable one.
But, at the same time, he was also a member of the Stuart family, Duke of York, and the responsibility of reviving the family was also shouldered by him. He was instilled with the belief in reviving the family since he was a child and began to conflict with his ideals.
Looking at Henry with an inexplicable look, Charlie was not worried that his younger brother would refuse. Just like religion, the revival of the Stuart family was deeply imprinted in his mind and never stopped.
At this time, he remembered Archbishop Marcel, who had a great status in the Cardinal Order. A small New France bishop should be a simple task for him, and he only needed a bribe.
"I did not make the wrong move in this move!" Charlie felt happy in his heart when he thought of his resolute obeying the church's command without hesitation.
The result was not beyond Charlie's expectations, and the younger brother chose to agree, so the next move was simple.
The trick of turning his brother into America was so amazing. This was the maximization of the benefits that Henry thought of after joining the church.
Afterwards, Charlie went to meet with the busy man, Cardinal Marcel, and told him the request for the position of Archbishop of New France.
In this regard, because he had a good impression of Charlie and the attack of a large amount of gold coins, the Archbishop agreed. After all, the position of the bishop in America is different from that in Italy and other regions. The bishop in Europe is a fat position, and the interests are very connected. Countless nobles want to seek a position for their descendants.
The Americas are different. In addition to countless alien races, they are big trees that cover the sky and the sun. They are also life-threatening, with little benefit, but very important.
"Your brother is probably not in line with the ability to take office!" Archbishop Marcel frowned for a moment and said.
"There are many pagans in the Americas. In addition to savages, there are also many cults and heretics, which have many threats, so they also have strict requirements on their strength. After all, the local church needs to help the colonial government maintain its rule!"
Hearing this, Charlie's eyebrows trembled. Henry was young and with his excellent resources and outstanding talent, he remembered that Henry was at the level of a priest and was still a long way from the bishop.
This is a trouble, Charlie thought.
"But, this is not the main thing!" Just when he felt it was difficult, the Archbishop made another reversal, curled his lips gently, and frowned:
"Although I'm ashamed to speak, I have to say that in today's church, as long as you spend a lot of gold coins, this difficulty is nothing. Which bishops from Germany and France are qualified."
"As long as the money is in place, it's difficult!"
Just as the level of knights of the aristocratic class fell, the level of priests within the church was also declining, and fewer priests met the requirements of their posts. In addition, the involvement of interests made many bishops in the local area not consistent with their names.
Charlie was instantly baptized, and this was bribing the open European Union. How could the church, which has always enjoyed the name of corruption, avoid it?
"You need to find a priest who has the strength of a bishop but has a low status to assist your younger brother, otherwise it will easily lead to trouble. There are many such people in the church, so there is no need to worry too much."
As expected, I am still too young. Europe, money is indeed omnipotent, and the people of the church do not forget to dig out the corners of this thousand-year-old organization.
"Have your brother joined that religious order?" Archbishop Marcel asked seriously, pointing out the young man he is optimistic about.
"It should be Benedictine!" Charlie recalled the morning conversation and said.
The Benedictines were founded by Benedick in the sixth century AD. They abide by the rules of the church, do not marry, pay attention to their own pious practice, and engage in social activities, emphasizing "reading the scriptures and production", "praying and labor", which is the most powerful and most common among the Roman church sects.
"Well, Benedictine is a very good organization that has been passed down for thousands of years! Your brother has a great chance!" Archbishop Marcel nodded and warned:
Chapter completed!
