"Since the king doesn’t want to take it away, there is a last resort to make the pope change his mind and get lost!" Ling Feiyang suddenly said
"This pope is cruel and stubborn by nature. I’m afraid no one in the world can tell him!" Frederick II said with great skepticism after hearing the translation of this sentence
"Maybe there is a person that is me! I hope that the king can cooperate with me! " Ling Feiyang finally said
This extremely important negotiation led to the alliance of the three empires of Song, East Rome and West Rome, which marked the beginning of the reversal of the world’s anti-Mongolian pattern. The words of these three people were recorded by historians and will be called "Sicilian Declaration" in the future.
Three days later, Rome, the Earl of Francis.
Poor Count Francis doesn’t know that his beautiful and affectionate Lady Rosa takes a handsome young priest home almost every day when he goes out to work, and then enjoys himself. At this moment, two glistening figures in the gazebo in the middle of the courtyard and the reclining chair are swaying and bathing in the summer sunshine together.
This woman is of course Mrs Rosa, but the man has changed his face.
"Dear, can you tell your father about my promotion again?" The unruly priest pleaded with the countess while trying to serve her.
"I have told my father several times, but he said that there are too many people who want to be bishops now, and you have to wait in line …" Mrs. Rosa repeated the same sentence while enjoying it.
Just then Ling Feiyang and Princess Natalya magically appeared in front of them again.
"dear countess, come with me!" Ling Feiyang has been learning Latin with Natalya these days, and now it’s time to try.
"How are you again? Are you going to kidnap me? " Madame Rosa got up from the priest, but she was not in a hurry to find clothes to wear. Instead, she showed her whole body in detail, and she seemed to have no shame before Ling Feiyang.
Ling Feiyang didn’t understand this sentence. Natalya translated it for him. Ling Feiyang went on to say, "Yes! I know that you are the illegitimate daughter of the Pope and I want to take you as a hostage! "
"Your actions are really thorough. Kidnapping requires an interpreter …" Mrs. Rosa said very naively.
"Cut the crap and get dressed!" Princess Natalya has been shyly turning her back and finally shouted at the moment.
"Lord Almighty, please punish this pair of robbers!" The priest’s right hand was painted with a cross on his chest. However, it may be because of the strenuous exercise just now that the wooden leg of the reclining chair suddenly snapped in two. The priest’s naked body immediately fell to the ground and rolled along the stone steps in front of the pavilion, and finally "burst" into the step fountain.
"that almighty has punish him. if you want to atone, please come with us!" Princess Natalya said to Lady Rosa to be continued.
Chapter 4 King-Pope Talks
Ling Feiyang and Princess Natalia took Lady Rosa to King Frederick II. They prepared a place to live. Pope Gregory IX of the West Rome learned that his illegitimate daughter had been kidnapped. Although he was angry, he was worried that the church would not be able to know about the scandal. The city searched extensively and could send a small number of close spies to investigate the matter secretly in Rome.
Ling Feiyang and Natalya, a very secret residence, began to interrogate Mrs. Rosa. However, at first, Mrs. Rosa didn’t cooperate very much, but she made gestures to seduce Ling Feiyang in every way. Although Ling Feiyang was completely unmoved by this type of woman’s natural epidemic, Princess Natalya still had some bad feelings when she saw it in her eyes. After more than half an hour, she finally couldn’t help but pull out the double-edged sword with red agate and crossed the front of Mrs. Rosa’s neck.
"If you don’t expose your father’s scandal, we’ll tell the church about it!" Princess Congnatalia threatened Lady Rosa with a sword.
According to the laws of the Holy Roman Empire at that time, a woman who was unfaithful to her husband would be crucified and burned to death once her adultery was revealed. Mrs. Rosa also knew in her heart that Gregory IX had arranged for her to live a prosperous life, but she did not dare to recognize her. If she was really sent to the church, her father would definitely not exonerate herself.
However, if you betray your father, her father will be ruined and furious, and he will certainly be spared. Gregory IX has always been ruthless, and even killing his daughter is not an impossible thing.
Lady Rosa was weighing the pros and cons in her heart, but Ling Feiyang said a few words to Princess Natalya in Chinese. Natalya immediately said, "Don’t worry, if you are willing to write down your father’s crimes, your father will be punished by God. At that time, even if he wants to get back at you, I’m afraid we won’t give him this chance. My Byzantine princess personality guarantees that you will be safe for the rest of your life, and there will be no shortage of things you like wealth, manor and men!"
Mrs. Rosa was a little tempted when she heard this sentence. Besides, she didn’t want to be burned at once and had no other choice. After much consideration, Mrs. Rosa finally said, "Okay, I promise you, but you must send me to Ann immediately after I finish writing!"
So Mrs Rosa picked up a quill pen and began to write papyrus.
Although Gregory IX was a Pope, he was naturally romantic. Once he saw a beautiful woman, he controlled his desires. He had thirteen lovers in his life, and each lover had a secret residence. Gregory IX would meet these lovers in turn in his spare time.
According to the Catholic canon, the Pope must devote his body to Jesus Christ for life, so he is not allowed to have a lover, let alone a child. However, Lady Rosa’s mother was pregnant, but she couldn’t bear to have an abortion. She still gave birth to this daughter and secretly raised her. When Gregory IX learned of this, he had to arrange for his illegitimate daughter to have a life of luxury and wealth and marry her to the famous Count Francis in Rome, on condition that she cut off her father and daughter and never recognize each other again.
Rosa, however, has left behind her father’s character, and he is also a romantic man. He cheated those handsome priests into the reclining chair in the Earl’s Garden and benefited himself many times. This special status is that these priests are humble and afraid of getting into trouble, and they dare not make such a huge scandal in the Vatican public.
Lady Rosa not only wrote these things in the original place to save her life, but also let Ling Feiyang sneak back into the drawer of the earl’s house and find a letter. Gregory IX wrote this letter when Count Rosa Francis got married and told Count Francis the truth. Now this letter has become the most powerful evidence that Gregory IX violated the canon and betrayed Jesus Christ.
Ling Feiyang and Princess Natalia didn’t break their word when they got these two letters. They immediately asked Frederick II to send Madame Rosa to Sicily to let her take shelter for a while. Later, Frederick II rushed from Sicily to Gregory IX, the Pope’s residence in Rome, for separate talks.
After the talks began, Frederick II took out two letters and showed them to Gregory IX by hand. Gregory IX immediately changed his face.
According to the holy Roman Catholic system, although the papacy is extremely powerful, it is still supervised by twelve cardinals. If Gregory IX kills Frederick II at this moment, his cronies will definitely hand over the original two letters to the twelve cardinals at once, so that his papacy will not only be suspended, but also be burned by the Vatican.
Although Gregory IX hated Frederick II, he was willing to compromise, but Frederick II did not take the intention. He made three demands on Gregory IX.
The First Roman Catholic Church delivered a speech explaining that King Frederick was still a faithful believer in the Father and did not slander the origin of Jesus Christ.
Second, order the Crusaders to immediately withdraw to West Rome and stop invading Byzantine territory.
Third, Mongolia dissolved the Covenant and joined the Byzantine Empire and other European countries to form an anti-Mongolian joint army to fight to the death
Gregory IX’s handle was granted to him by Frederick II, who immediately conveyed the talks to Ling Feiyang and Princess Natalia after the talks.
"We succeeded!" Princess Natalya couldn’t help jumping into Ling Feiyang’s arms when she heard the good news, and then she felt a little embarrassed and blushed.
The second day of the talks between the king and the pope happened to be another Saturday. Pope Gregory IX did visit St. Peter’s Cathedral and made a "passionate" speech after the regular service. In the speech, Gregory IX not only clarified Frederick II’s innocence, but also called Genghis Khan Satan incarnation and called on the whole holy Roman Catholics to carry out a holy war to resist Mongolian invasion
Subsequently, Gregory IX issued an order to withdraw the Eastern Crusade Cross Army and to reorganize the * * team to prepare for the upcoming anti-Mongolian war.
All this seems to be very smooth, but Ling Feiyang still has some concerns.
"Is this Pope so easily controlled by us? Is there any mystery in this? " Ling Feiyang suddenly thought of such a problem to be continued.
