Chapter 636 Religious Affairs (Part 2)

"Ms. R'hllor asked me to integrate all of humanity for her Power to deal with the next intrusion of its old enemy more easily; Queen Your Majesty hopes to use external forces to suppress the local The Seven religion, realize the kingship and religious power in both hands, and bring it up a level to control Westeros... After thinking Later, I suddenly discovered that these two goals can be achieved through the same thing - to help the expansion and development of the Red God religion." Under the collective attention of the four high-level priests in the room, Igor revealed the answer word by word, clearly and calmly. : "The Queen will make Red God the state religion of the Targaryen Dynasty. I know this is expected, but what I want to tell the priests here is - becoming the state religion is just the beginning, our ultimate goal is: to make Lord The faith of Light has expanded to the whole world with the rebirth and rise of the Valyria Empire, making it the largest and only official religion in the entire world. I want to make R wherever people go and where flames can rise. The statue Totem of 'hllor, and the praises and prayers of the Vulcan!"

"In order to achieve this ultimate goal, I have thought out the means and the method of defeating the enemy, and formulated a series of clear Timetable, this great Holy War General starts from the land under our feet - annexing The Seven Cult, turning Westeros into the foundation and stronghold of the Red God Cult, is the small goal of our 1st Stage. And to achieve this , I need the help of a sufficient number of religious personnel, especially the high priests..."

"Please forgive my interruption, your honorable agent." High Priest Benerro said, with respect and not arrogance. , "I have no doubts about your determination and ability to achieve Red God's prestige, but...you don't seem to say how to solve the predicament that the Great Red Temple is facing at the moment."

Huh? Igor's train of thought was briefly interrupted, and it took two seconds before he came back to his senses: After R'hllor "goes off the assembly line" and went to sleep, the High Priests lost their ability to communicate with him through the flames and to see each other. The ability to create a scene, which means that the High Priest in front of him has never seen the scene where gunpowder tore through the city wall and battleship. Therefore, when oneself's thinking has jumped to the fourth fifth layer or even higher, the old man in front of him is still hesitating on the steps from the first layer to the second layer.

He needs to pull each other to keep up with oneself's train of thought.

Is that so?

With a little change in his mind, he rejected the idea.

Hand of the Queen really had to deal with all kinds of situations. He didn't have the spare time or energy to explain all aspects of the plan to a magician, and the kneeling of Benerro and Jinvara before entering the door made it even worse. Is to make this explanation not even necessary anymore.

That kneeling unreservedly recognized the identity of Igor R'hllor spokesperson, handed over all the old status and prestige of Benerro as a High Priest, and held the authority of this supreme. How can you not make the most of your character and way of doing things that you don't use to the extreme?

He is God's spokesperson on earth - the real one. All the resources, believers and priests of the Red God religion in the mortal world are just tools given to him by the lady who is not a god but is more than a god.

On behalf of the agent, only give orders, do not explain!

"Ms. R'hllor gave me a way to use the power of nature in my dreams, a weapon called 'Gunpowder', if the Lord of Light hadn't explained its existence to you, then It means that He thinks that you don't need to know that much. You only need to remember one thing - its formidable power destroying heaven and extinguishing earth, enough to defeat and destroy any enemy between me and the Queen in the mortal world." Igor letter Talking nonsense - using God as a shield is much simpler than explaining the reaction equation of gunpowder and the principle of shooting to the magic stick, "So, let me tell you what will happen next: the Queen's army will be in next month. Initiate the final battle to unify the Seven Kingdoms and end the war in a month or two. Then in a similar time, the Westeros naval battleship will arrive off the port of Volantis to show the Triarch of Volantis the true Divine Vestige of 'Gunpowder' .At that time, I need the armed 'Holy Fire' of the Great Red Temple to work together inside and outside, so that we can take over the city by sea and land. After eliminating the core families of the tiger and elephant parties, the Red Temple and the remaining surrendered families will jointly govern Volantis."

Igor shrugged, "This is how the Great Red Temple crisis was resolved, don't question the scene R'hllor showed me, the dragon flag of Targaryen is now flying at the top of King's Landing It's the most powerful proof. After the crisis in the Great Red Temple is lifted, I ask the Church to arrange the top and bottom in an orderly manner, start training as soon as possible and let the Cleric or priests graduate and become regulars, and prepare the manpower I need, I will give you six months.”

“During these six months, I will be at Westeros through a two-pronged operation, from the top and the bottom at the same time, to dismantle and destroy The Seven teaching once and for all. I will lead the army to take Oldtown, and replace High Septon and the big Devout with the soft eggs I can control; at the bottom, I will launch a 'religious revolution' in the name of defending the purity of The Seven religion, right The grassroots priests all over Westeros conduct investigations and liquidations of property and morality. I believe that there is no Saint in this world, and even if there is, you can pour a bucket of dung on his head to pollute him...Using the excuse of lack of piety, with the help of the mob Power, 'Zongge' will destroy the backbone of The Seven's cult in one fell swoop, eliminating its core resilience and resistance. When a large number of Red God sects finished their training and set foot on the land of Westeros by boat, The Seven sect had been beaten to the ground like the nobles of Reach land, and they were slaughtered, and you All you have to do is pick up ready-made loot and settle in the ruined Seven Kingdoms religious realm, replacing it with The Seven. "

Igor's undeniable confidence sounded arrogant, but in the eyes of the high-ranking priests, he had the appearance of a spokesperson of a god. In the silence that was carefully pondered, Jinvara raised his hand and signaled: "I have a question, Your Excellency. Did Ms. R'hllor give you the power to change and manipulate the minds of others while giving you the weapon of 'gunpowder'? If not, even if you can dismantle the existing power that destroys the cult of The Seven, it won't allow us to easily replace it. The inertia of people's ideas is extremely powerful, and the faith of Lord of Light has no foundation in Westeros. It hastily forced the original believers of The Seven to convert to Red God. It will never be effective within three or five years. Come chaos, can Queen tolerate this level of social unrest? Will it bow to the people due to reality? How are you going to solve this problem? "

"Good question. "He directly attacked the key point at once. The chief diplomat's political sensitivity is completely different from that of Melisandre. Igor glanced at Jinwala with some appreciation. "The purpose of replacing the senior staff of The Seven is to make it The Holy See has no leader and can't concentrate its strength; to launch the 'Zongge', it is to strike first, to break the bones of those who may become resistance in advance, to crush the priest class by drawing wages from the bottom of the pot, and to stifle the threat of the annexation target's counterattack... Until this series of operations is completed, Queen will not publicly announce that the Red God religion will be the state religion. "

This question is completely different from the siege of the Great Red Temple, and it really has to be explained to this group of high priests, "In those six months, I will be with the newly appointed Holy See of The Seven and Let's re-edit Seven-Pointed Star together. The new version will drop the name of 'Seven Stars' and directly name it "Holy Book", and one of the most crucial changes is - it will claim that The Seven is just seven different forms of R'hllor, representing the The seven different fields and virtues that the only True God values. That's why - the 1st Stage goal I mentioned earlier, is to 'Approach', not 'Destroy' The Seven! "

The saying that The Seven is only the seven forms of the only god is actually mentioned and emphasized in "Seven-Pointed Star" itself, and now it is suddenly inserted to change it to "The Seven is only R 'The Seven Different Forms of hllor', with just a slight change, fundamentally overturns the independence and exclusivity of The Seven's teaching, so that it can be easily achieved without major changes in attitudes and behaviors Accepting all his followers and legal status, and even eliminating the possibility of the resurrection of the annexed religion in the long run-using the enemy's logic to kill the enemy, it's a desperate plan!

Kinwala There was a hint of surprise in the already beautiful dark eyes, and she realized that although this plan was unthinkable, it needed the unsuspecting cooperation and support of the royal power and the religious power to realize it, but the combination of "Prime Minister Queen" and Igor, who is a "R'hllor spokesperson", happens to be the best candidate for the implementer!
The chief priestess is very excited, but the High Priest put forward an objection: "The strategy is a good strategy, but in this way, isn't it? There are a lot of heathen who have no understanding or faith in R'hllor mixed into my teaching? The plan to succeed in The Seven Church is certainly history, but can this new religion that survived be called the Red God Church? Speaking of which, it is difficult to give a definite conclusion whether it is the teaching of Red God that annexed The Seven or the Seven that annexed the Red God. "

The old priest's concern is correct. It's the same principle as "Easy to get rid of, difficult to cure". In this way of "possession", the Seven Kingdoms religion is completed in such a way that it is more difficult than coercion. The conversion of the entire Westeros people to paganism Other is lower, but it will lead to a huge contamination of the purity and unity within the Red God religion...

But then again, does Igor care about the purity of the Red God religion? ?

He did not accept the surrender and peace talks in Reach, and hoped to maintain a certain degree of purity of the beneficiary group, because he was worried that there would be a big force in the new dynasty that would hinder the implementation of the Queen's reform decree... But The Red God religion is not the same thing.

He wants to replace The Seven with the R'hllor faith, but because he doesn't want the religion in his kingdom to be secretly controlled by someone other than oneself, and at the same time. It needs a more enlightened group that will not obstruct oneself from carrying out various reforms or secretly claim that Daenerys is a "product of chaos" to control the grassroots and strengthen social stability.

This new religion, which is about to merge Red God and The Seven, is just a tool of domination. Unity, piety or purity... these qualities are certainly good for a nation, civilization or regime, but the opposite for a religion ——Tools, easy to use and easy to use, too powerful or have oneself position and ideas, but trouble!

......

"Your Excellency Benerro, you are the agent after all. , or am I the agent? "

Igor's ruthless face seemed to grow stronger with anger.

"I respect your beliefs and beliefs as an old and devout believer." Persevere, but which one is more important than the order of the Red God deity in your imagination? What Ms. R'hllor needs now is more servants and servants, not a handful of fanatics! Do you want to be the High Priest to decide what Ms. R'hllor should need and get? ”

The bald old man was frightened by these two rebukes of the red glutinous fruit, and then he realized that oneself was talking to the Lord of Light human spokesperson. Under the horror, he quickly left his seat and knelt down. Asking for forgiveness, but being stopped by Igor's snort.

"Sit tight! Igor glared at him impatiently, "I've never had another agent give me an example of what an agent should be like." But I have the mission and mission delegated by R'hllor, and my shoulders are hurt by the responsibility of Supreme. I really don't have the strength to discuss the way forward with everyone who has ideas... So I think we should set some rules today. . "

He glanced around the people present, and suddenly realized that R'hllor's real existence is really a good thing. Not to mention, at least he would never dare to come to this kind of tone and way. To speak to nobles and princes.

"That is -- when I need your advice and opinions, you are free to speak up, but when I give clear instructions to give out affirmative missions, In the name of R'hllor, what I need is complete obedience and 100% execution. I think, this should not be such an excessive requirement, right? ”
