Game of Thrones: The Strongest Guoguang

Chapter 141 The church, let's do something!
The fate and the power of the name of the gods reflected each other on the dragon and the girl. Syracuse's outward aura became deeper and more restrained as the light went out. The golden dragon even showed a faint divinity in the eyes of everyone. .

"Why do I feel that the dragon is becoming more and more peaceful, not like its kind, but like..."

"Like a human!" The citizens pointed and talked a lot.

On the statue of Syracuse there is also the seven-pointed star symbol representing the seven gods, and the motto of the seven gods in the common language, "Salute to the seven gods".

"Is this statue the will of the Seven Gods?" The nobles in the crowd were puzzled.

"Yes, Your Royal Highness said that the Seven Gods use the power of the dragon to dominate the Seven Kingdoms, and the king of men will use the dragon to protect the lambs of the gods!"

"When the gods cannot perform miracles, the dragon is the spokesperson of their power!"

"The golden dragon will bring abundance to the Seven Kingdoms! This is the blessing of the Seven Gods."

At least that's what the ascetics of the Cathedral of King's Landing advertise.

"Ah, did the monks allow His Highness to make such a publicity?" The level of civilization in the Seven Kingdoms was high or low, and the princess made such a publicity, in fact, many people in the countryside believed it.

Otherwise, how did the pious believers who resisted the rule of Targaryen come from? They believed what the church said. The church said that brother-sister incest was blasphemy to the seven gods, and the farmers took up arms to slay dragons. The church said that Targaryen was "exceptional" "Law", the farmers went home to tend the fields that had been neglected for many years.

The monks also publicized this matter with one voice.

In fact, the monks were very supportive of the royal family's hype about the power of the Seven Gods.

Ever since Aegon the Conqueror landed, the relationship between the royal family and the church has been intriguing. Even if the center of the church was moved from the Old Town to the King City, there was no change. There was even a Holy War during the Maegor period, when the tyrant offered golden dragons to reward the monks scalp.

Rhaenyra's promotion of the dragon and the seven gods is beneficial to both the royal family and the church, so the monks acquiesced in this matter that seemed outrageous to the nobles—the royal family deliberately broke the relationship with the church. The Church does not want to reject this kindness.

The believers fear the power of the dragon, which is conducive to consolidating the prestige of the Seven Gods.

Having such a "holy princess", such a unique Targaryen, made the monks rejoice and shouted for the blessings of the seven gods.

Don't the ascetic monks in the Cathedral of King's Landing know that Rhaenyra is using them?

Of course I know, but you are a pious "Holy Princess", protecting and consolidating the rights and interests of the church, and even donating fiefdoms to the church. They will just turn a blind eye and close one eye, and even secretly contribute to the flames. After all, the church is not real Don't be afraid of the magic dragon burning people.

So not only on the square, but also on the sanctuary, the royal forest, and the clansmen on the Crab Claw Peninsula... There are statues erected in many places on the king's land.

For this reason, the stonemasons in the King's Landing Industrial Area were busy in the dark, but the princess said that this is a religious task, no matter how simple the statue is, as long as it looks good, it is fine for worship.

Rhaenyla admitted that she was quietly carrying out the Reformation, but at a slower pace.

Are there any monks who object to this matter, yes.

There are not only fat-headed archbishops in the church, but also pious and dedicated ascetic monks, as well as some conspirators who are good at gaining power and status.

Although the transfer of the church has attracted some monks, the fact that King's Landing is the core of power will not change.

King's Landing Cathedral has become the power of the "Holy Princess", how can they be reconciled, but even if they are not reconciled, it will not help.

The leaders of the ascetic monks are all pious servants and high-minded people promoted and appointed by Rhaenyla herself, which makes people convinced, and the conspirators can't blame them.

And the flea nests and outer city residents who were the source of turmoil and the fertile soil of conspirators in the past have gradually become good citizens who live and work in peace and contentment.

Reassuring refugees has always been a major part of Rhaenyla's financial expenditure!

But this kind of expenditure is not without benefits. It is a national policy to resettle refugees to cultivate land. Ranila, who has the soul of farming, will not let go of such a relaxed environment-there is no war in the royal territory, and the land is sparsely populated. Those nobles The refugees we look down on are actually excellent laborers.

The granaries in various parts of the king's territory gradually became fuller.

The fiefdoms of some noble families cooperated with Rhaenyla's policy, leasing land to cultivate fields-the nobles received income, the royal family received food, and the refugees could support themselves.

However, some nobles still complain that the princess is good in everything, but that she shouldn't be too kind to these untouchables, and take away all the income of the refugees, so as to ensure that they don't starve to death.

But Rhaenyra firmly rejected the nobleman's suggestion, thus winning the hearts of the refugees.

Therefore, it is impossible to pull out a riot team now!

"His Royal Highness is very pious, but..." a nobleman lowered his voice and asked his companions,

"It's really bold, isn't she afraid of the church's power expanding and going against her?

Thinking about the past events of the church wars, this Targaryen is tantamount to breeding tigers! "

This was just an expedient measure. Rhaenyra divided the religious forces of the Seven Gods, moved the archbishops to Harrenhal, and summoned the ascetic monks who were not valued in the countryside to control the cathedral.

As a result, the core forces of the church were all transferred to Hejian, unable to take care of the king's land.

But King's Landing and even the King's Landing still need to be controlled by religious beliefs!

This is a very large parish. If Rhaenyla does not arrange for people to occupy it, other sects and even cults will secretly grow and cause chaos.

During the inspection and removal of the flea nests, Rhaenyla saw more than one or two secret sects.

It is a fact that people in this age cannot live without religion.

If Rhaenila preaches any atheism, it is equivalent to poking a hornet's nest, and the whole world will come to make trouble, and the people of the Seven Kingdoms will regard her as heresy, even the saintess will be burned.

Compared with the doctrine of the Red God offering sacrifices at every turn, the doctrine of the Seven Gods is completely guiding people towards truth, goodness and beauty. At least within the scope of Rhainila's actual control, it is better to have the Seven Gods than not to have the Seven Gods.

Although I don't know what Ranila's behavior of "raising tigers for trouble" means, but this still makes the nobles like Hightower terrified.

"There is no sun, there is no sun!"

The tide is turning!In the past, it was the church that called the believers to rebel against the Targaryen.

Now if Targaryen cancels Maegor's ban and calls on the believers to launch a holy war against a certain nobleman: who can resist a dragon plus countless warrior sons and poor people?They are not Maegor who controls the Black Death.

Church, what are you doing?Let's do something!
The movement of Rhaenyra and Syracuse was ordinary in front of mortals, but the wave of magic power seemed to trigger a huge wave!
Not to mention the doubts of the wizards of Asshai, the "capital of magic", it seems that something horrible has awakened in the ruins of Valyria shrouded in curses, trying to emerge from the endless smoke-gray air.

However, the permeating air seemed to be resisted by some kind of resistance, and all the movements eventually turned into nothingness, and this forgotten land finally fell into peace.

At the same time, in Harrenhal, the holy place of the church today, a middle-aged man frowned on his sleeping face, as if he had sensed something different.
