Chapter 430 Who is the devil?Who has no soul? (Please subscribe, please vote)

September 1681, 9, France, Palace of Versailles, Marble Courtyard.

This is a day that will go down in history!
In order to make this day more glorious and magnificent in the history of France and the American Empire, Louis XIV deliberately chose the Palace of Versailles, which had not yet completed its interior decoration, as his performance stage on this day.

Because the Hall of Mirrors and the Throne Hall had not yet been renovated, Louis simply placed his stage in the marble courtyard surrounded on three sides by the magnificent and solemn main building of the Palace of Versailles.

Bureaucrats from Paris, nobles from all over France, envoys from various European countries, distinguished guests from Rome, and members of the Ming Dynasty envoys who traveled tens of thousands of miles from the east of the world, all wore They were all dressed up, and many of them were accompanied by their charmingly dressed female relatives (think they were women, right?). They all gathered in this marble-covered courtyard, waiting to watch a spectacle that was rarely seen in European history. A drama that may have never happened before—persuade in!
Louis XIV's ministers searched through historical materials, but could not find any record of persuading people to enter. The closest thing to persuading people to enter was probably Pepin the Short's conspiracy to usurp the throne.However, it was Pepin who took the initiative to send an envoy to ask the Pope for instructions: "Who should be king? The one who has real power, or the one who thinks he is the king but has no real power?"

But this is not suitable for the current situation of the Sun King!He had no intention of seeking to usurp the throne. He just picked up a "Crown of American Emperor" that had been thrown to the ground by the Spaniards and put it on himself.

Picking an emperor to do it, isn't this considered "usurpation"?

However, this good deed of "picking up" an emperor has happened in Chinese history.

The Ming Dynasty's ambassadors to various European countries happened to be in Versailles and immediately sent a French version of the hardcover "Romance of the Three Kingdoms".This book records six founding events, once by Dong Zhuo, once by Yuan Shu, once by Cao Pi, once by Liu Bei, once by Sun Quan, and once by Sima Yan.Among them, Liu Bei established Ji Han because he "picked up" an emperor - Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty lost the emperor of the Han Dynasty, and Cao Pi thought he was the emperor of Wei, not the emperor of Han.And Liu Bei picked up Han Xian Emperor and Cao Pi and decided to take it on his own, which is pretty good!

After studying it, the Sun King and his ministers all felt that the situation when the Sun King became the "American Emperor" was similar to the situation when Liu Huangshu became Emperor Zhaolie of the Han Dynasty. They both advanced from king to emperor, and both "picked up" an emperor. when.Liu Bei picked the Han Emperor who was "unwanted" by both Han Xian Emperor and Cao Pi, while the Sun King Louis XIV "picked" an American Emperor that the Spanish kings did not want - the Spanish branch of the Habsburg dynasty had never It is an absolute mistake to declare himself the emperor of the Americans, but to leave the Americas in a state of "without a king and a father" for a long time!
This "kingless" state caused the Native Americans to lose the opportunity to be protected by the monarch. Instead, they were ruled by the most vicious imperial bureaucrats for a long time!

In the view of the Sun King, if Spain is crowned "American Emperor", then he will be responsible for the Indian subjects under his rule. Even if they are placed in the status of serfs, the monarch and aristocratic serf owners will protect the lives and safety of the serfs. Obligations for the security of personal property.

Moreover, once the Spanish king becomes the "American emperor", he will have to grant a group of "beautiful nobles".After all, the U.S. Empire is so far away from Spain, and the emperor himself will probably never "come to the country" in his lifetime. If he doesn't make a group of vassals to guard various places, how will he rule?

And those "beautiful and expensive" businesses are long-term businesses, and they must be based on the idea of ​​sustainable fishing, protecting the environment and the people, and developing the territory.

In addition, the rule of the feudal aristocracy is based on feudal layers. If these layers are sealed, then the Habsburg family's rule under the "American emperor" will have layers, one layer of loyalty, one layer of coaxing, and one layer of coaxing. As long as Habsburg has The Busburg family still has enough unsealed American land, and their rule in the American Empire is stable.

Considering the size of the New World, it seems that it would not be completely sealed within a few hundred years.
Therefore, Louis XIV has now made up his mind. This time, he will create a large-scale feudal lordship in the Eastern Empire of the American Empire. He will seal a large number of principalities, princes, and counties. He will seal away all the thorny heads in France. Even if the Thornheads themselves cannot be sealed off, some of their sons and daughters must be sealed off, so that they have to focus on how to help their sons and daughters establish a country in the US Empire.

Louis XIV set his sights on the fourth generation Prince of Condé, Louis II de Bourbon, who had recently suffered retribution. He suffered from severe ventilation and could not walk. He had to find a reason to seal his son. Go to the American Empire and make a Virginia King!

Just as he was thinking about granting the British colony in North America to the son of Prince Condé, a loud sound of trumpets interrupted his thoughts.Louis XIV quickly looked up at the gate of the Palace of Versailles, and saw a group of "Indian nobles" wearing bison leather robes, feather crowns, and riding tall horses, already in front of the French Minister of State for Foreign Affairs, the Marquis de Croissy and Escorted by a group of French royal cuirassiers, they have arrived outside and are now getting off their horses.

Louis XIV knew that they were all representatives of Indian tribes who came to support him as emperor. He hurriedly straightened himself on the throne and put on a solemn expression, waiting for another highlight moment of his to come.

A group of "Indian nobles" headed by Samuel Shang, led by the Marquis of Croissy, filed in, and soon entered the marble courtyard. When they arrived in front of Louis, they all stood in a neat manner.Then, the palace attendants began to roll the names, starting with Samuel Shan, the chief of the Huron tribe of Quebec, and reporting down one by one, who were the Iroquois, the Sioux Confederacy, the Mayans, and the Aztecs, in total Thirteen were collected.

Of course, except for Samuel Shang, everyone else's chieftain status was made up, but Louis didn't care about this. Anyway, it was endorsed by the Pope's father, so it could be regarded as true.

After the roll call was completed, Louis XIV turned to ask the Pope who was sitting side by side with him: "Father, do you think their sins are greater or those of us Europeans? Do you think their souls are more pure or our souls are more pure?" pure?"

Surely the Pope knew what Louis meant?He wanted to prove that the original sin of the Indians was no greater than that of the Europeans, so the Spanish genocidal policy and racial guardianship theory were completely untenable.
However, Innocent XI was certainly eloquent when he became the pope, but he was not so easily overwhelmed by Louis XIV's questions. He immediately showed a sacred and solemn expression and asked Louis XIV. Four said: "Your Majesty, it is well known that the Indians have low intelligence, lack of faith, low level of development, and are extremely cruel. They do not believe in the Father in Heaven, but worship the devil, and they also commonly use human sacrifices and blood sacrifices. To put it mildly, , their civilization is still in its infancy, like children, they don’t understand anything, and they must be supervised by mature and progressive Europeans.”

The "guardianship" mentioned by Innocent XI was made up by the Spaniards to justify their colonial rule in the New World.

The King of France looked at Samuel Jean.

The French-Indian mixed-blood Indian tribal chief immediately said to the Pope: "Dad, you say that we Indians have low intelligence and should be ruled by people with higher intelligence?"

"Of course!" Innocent Eleven nodded.

The 50-year-old Indian smiled slightly and spoke fluent Latin: "Then please arrange a competition. On behalf of the Indians with low intelligence, I challenge the highly intelligent King Carlos II of Spain. If Carlos II Smarter than me, then we Indians are indeed mentally retarded.”

The King of France looked at Innocent XI and said, "Dad, why don't we let Carlos compete with him?"

The Pope thought: You, the King of France, are too wicked, aren't you?Isn't it humiliating the Spaniards to let this Indian who speaks Latin so fluently compete with Carlos II?

"With Carlos II not here," the pope said, "such a contest is not feasible."

Of course the Pope cannot say that Carlos II is a fool
"Then can I compare my intelligence with Father Pope?" Samuel Shang asked.

"With me?" The Pope's face darkened.

The King of France asked: "What do you want to compare with the Pope?" "How about mathematics?" Samuel Shang said, "Although I am a stupid Indian, I have taught myself mathematics and have finished reading flute." Karl's "Geometry" and Wallis's "Infinite Arithmetic", but there are still some things that I don't understand, and I hope to ask the wisest old man in Europe - the Pope of Rome."

"Really? Do you really know mathematics?" The King of France looked very interested.

"Your Majesty," Foreign Minister Marquis de Croisy took over the topic, "Samuel Shang is not only a chief, he is also a mathematics teacher at the Colonial College of Quebec and he is also proficient in mechanics. This time he traveled across the ocean to Europe. The reed boat was designed by him based on mechanical principles and was manufactured under his personal supervision."

"Oh, he's quite smart. Dad, look at his intelligence."

"There is nothing wrong with his intelligence!" The Pope is not stupid. He is comparing intelligence with a self-taught mathematics teacher who has read Descartes's "Geometry" and Wallis's "Infinite Arithmetic". This is not an insult to himself. ?

"Samuel, do you have faith?" asked the King of France.

"Your Majesty, I am a Christian!" Samuel Shang replied, "But not all Indians are Christians. We have various beliefs, and we believe that belief should be free. It cannot be forced. Although more and more Indians are becoming believers in Heavenly Father, we still believe that other people who do not believe in God should be treated equally. We cannot treat them as non-human beings just because they have different beliefs. When Jesus Christ came, there were no Christians in the world. Does Christ think that those who do not believe in Him are not human beings, are not worthy of saving, and are not children of the Heavenly Father?”

The Pope was rendered speechless by this Indian!

Samuel Shang went on to say: "We Indians did not know about Christianity before we came into contact with Europeans, because Jesus Christ did not come to the New World. I think this is not because we are not worthy of salvation, but because of our sins. It’s not deep enough to offend Heavenly Father. The Lord loves the world, and if our sins were serious at that time, then the Lord will definitely come to save us!”

Pope remains speechless
"Yes, yes! Chief Shang is right!"

The Pope did not speak, but Jia Guozhu clapped his hands and said: "Pope Pope, Christ has not come to us in China. The reason why Christ has not come is not because we are too bad and not worth saving. It must be because we are benevolent, righteous, faithful and morally noble." , no need for redemption! But your old man’s Spanish son went to Luzon and went on a killing spree again and again, slaughtering tens of millions of people. What’s the point? You, the old critic, did such a thing Should the Spanish kings Philip II, Philip III, and Philip IV go to hell?”

Samuel Shang immediately took over Jia Guozhu's words and continued to question the Pope: "Pope Pope, have you been to the New World? Have you seen an Indian before today?"

This question is easy to answer. The Pope, who was overwhelmed by the question, subconsciously replied: "I have never been to the New World, and I have never seen Indians before today."

"Then where did you hear that our Indians worship the devil, are extremely cruel, and commonly use human sacrifices and blood sacrifices? Did you hear it from the Spaniards?" Samuel continued without waiting for the Pope to answer. He said, "Papa Pope, do you know how cruel the Spanish ruled the Indians? Do you know how many despicable and shameless methods they adopted to conquer the Aztec Empire and the Inca Empire? They cheated, they massacred, They rob, they enslave, they do all kinds of evil. And they don't even hide their evil deeds!
They not only enslaved us Indians, but also enslaved all the peoples they ruled. They even captured and purchased black slaves from Africa and shipped them to the Americas!Right now, there are at least 100 slave ships in the Atlantic Ocean, half of them Dutch and half English, transporting black slaves to Spain, Portugal and England's colonies in the Americas.

For such people, they say you serve the devil. Is there anyone more like the devil than them?They say you are extremely cruel. Is there anyone more cruel than them?They say that you commonly use human sacrifices and blood sacrifices. Is there anyone who kills more people than they do?
They lie one after another, they have no faith, they do not believe in Heavenly Father at all, they are more evil than the devil, and you, as the patriarch of Christianity and the spokesperson of Heavenly Father in the world, you actually believe their lies! "

Pope remains speechless
At this moment, Jia Guozhu suddenly made another sharp remark: "Pope Pope, I heard that the Pope can communicate with Heavenly Father. Did Heavenly Father never tell you that Spanish people are devils? Or... you just Did you know everything from the beginning?”

"Ah" the Pope suddenly fell into fear!

Because he has never successfully communicated with Heavenly Father!

He originally thought that the communication between the Pope and the Heavenly Father was just made up by the Popes to strengthen believers' faith, but he never thought that he was guilty!He deals with the devil!He doesn't deserve to be Pope!He is not the person chosen by Heavenly Father at all!He only got the papal throne through vote-buying!

He might even be a member of the devil!
Thinking of this, the Pope of Rome is about to collapse!
Although he bribed votes, lied, embezzled, framed his competitors, and sometimes ordered murders, he was still a good son of Heavenly Father!At least that's what he thinks.

But now, he had doubts that maybe he was a devil!

Seeing that the old pope looked like he was about to collapse, Louis XIV felt that he could no longer let the two "venomous mouths" of Samuel Shang and Jia Guozhu continue to spray, but he should not make the pope angry to death in the Palace of Versailles.

"Papa Pope, you must have been deceived by the Spanish!" said the King of France. "I am afraid this is also a test for you from Heavenly Father. If you can correct the mistakes made by the Holy See before, give the Indians a delayed justice."

After hearing what Louis said, the Roman Pope also felt that he had to do this, otherwise the Father would no longer love him, and when he died, he would not be able to go to heaven, but would have to go to hell to suffer.

Thinking of this, the Pope nodded and said: "Now, I declare to revoke the papal meridian promulgated by Alexander VI! Withdraw the patronage granted to the Kingdom of Spain and Portugal, and deprive it of the patronage granted to Charles V, Philip II, All the honors and titles of Philip III and Philip IV, and condemn all the crimes they committed in the New World and the Philippines. They must be suffering in hell now!"

Well, all of a sudden the Spanish Habsburg kings were packed up and sent to hell!
There are also Spanish ambassadors and Holy Roman Empire ambassadors here today. They are all representatives of the Habsburg dynasty!Upon hearing the Pope's judgment, the two ambassadors were confused and didn't know what to say.

Protest?

The Pope is never wrong. And this time the Pope really did nothing wrong!Those Spanish kings are inherently evil!
If you don’t protest, how can you be an ambassador?I have to masturbate when I get back.

While the two ambassadors were struggling, Samuel Jean had already taken out a scroll, bent down, held the scroll high, walked to Louis XIV, and loudly said to the French Sun King: "The kind and great Sun King, After repeated discussions among the chiefs of the thirteen major tribes in North America, they all agreed that only if you serve as the Eastern Emperor of the American Empire can you protect all the desperate Indians in North America, liberate them from the enslavement of the Spanish devil, and make them truly Bathed in the glory of Heavenly Father, please be kind to the Sun King. Please do not reject the heartfelt pleas of us humble Indians. For the sake of Heavenly Father, and for the sake of the fact that we are all children of Heavenly Father, please Wear the crown of the American Empire!"

While he was speaking, another Indian chief had already taken out a crown made of gold that had been prepared!
