prince of europe in quintiles

Only then did Huo Teng slap his head to figure it out.

Why did the later Western society talk about the separation of powers?

Because in the Middle Ages, there was a similar prototype.The lords of each region enjoy local law enforcement powers, and they can set up courts privately to judge various issues in the countryside through their own preferences and some simple consensus.This is one of the powers of the lords.You have to pay for the trial.And it's easy to have both.

administrative?They have no such concept at all.When there is a dispute, open a court to take care of it, and usually don't care what happens in the village.

Huo Teng is called a regret.

He should develop more towards the church, because the church often has a better reputation among the people and can interfere with legislation, that is, to prevent the lord from arbitrarily enforcing the law.

But anyway, the court in the Free City of Göttingen officially opened.

Huo Teng then called the businessman: "You said you married this silly girl to your son, did you ask me and pay the marriage tax?"

The so-called marriage tax means that the lord has guardianship over people.The concrete manifestation of this guardianship, in addition to war protection, is marriage.In name it is protection, but in fact it is a sum of money that is allowed to marry.

The businessman was suddenly embarrassed.

He had just moved to Liberty City, and he wanted a convenient condition.When I was looking for a partner for my stupid son, I only thought about how fast, easy and cheap, and I didn't mention the marriage tax at all.

Huo Teng knew from his expression that this guy must be greedy for cheap.So he took the case angrily and said: "Without my consent, it is not considered a marriage. So you can give up this case. Moreover, this woman is a fool and does not have a clear sense of reason, so whether she can get married again must be approved by me." certification. I have custody of her!"

To put it bluntly, you can't bully a fool.Huo Teng also had to take a closer look to see if his marriage partner was capable of raising this silly girl.

Over there, the defendant's old man was ecstatic, and when he was about to get up and run away, Huo Teng ordered the guards to pin him to the ground.

"And you, messing around with a fool on the side of the road is simply insulting. Although you are not a raper of a woman, you are also a rape of a foolish woman. I rule that you must compensate the foolish woman Wu Daweng Maizi and sit in my prison The prison will clean the streets during the busy farming season as a punishment." Huo Teng thought about it and made the following punishment.

Wuweng wheat is enough for a woman to save for a year.Working in prison until the busy farming season does not affect production, and during this period they can still sweep the streets.

As for the old man, he naturally objected heartbroken.

Unfortunately, facing Huo Teng, his objection was ineffective.

The businessman on the opposite side heard this, and hurriedly proposed a remedy: "I am willing to give Wu Weng Maizi, only to marry her to my son."

Huo Teng nodded in agreement, but strictly demanded: "I will take 1/10 of the ten wheat. Secondly, do not beat, insult, or starve her. I will listen to the people's report."

The merchants responded again and again.

Everyone said that Huo Teng's punishment was well-founded, and the trial was clean, much more civilized than the illiterate boss.

After the court case was over, when Huo Teng was thinking about how to change his plan, an old man with a white beard, accompanied by a beautiful woman and many servants, came to Huo Teng.

"Young man, I am very satisfied after reading your trial. My impression of you has begun to change."

The old man patted Huo Teng on the shoulder and said with a smile.

Could it be that he is the newly arrived abbot, a relative of the Grand Duke... Andreas?

Chapter 25 Rabbits Are Sexually Suggestive

Andreas is about 60 years old this year. In the Middle Ages, when the average age was 24 years old, he was already a very long-lived existence.His hair is gray and his waist is curvy, but the long-term pampering makes him look quite temperamental and majestic.His crown and clothes all bear the symbols of the church, indicating that he is a high-level church member.

Beside him was a gorgeous woman in a long white dress of the same color.She is about 30 years old, with a delicate and curvy figure, a slender wasp waist, light and graceful, and a half-loose skirt hanging around her waist, which hides her smooth and tender calves, making her round and slender legs even more invisible beauty.The plump breasts are particularly eye-catching, standing proudly and trembling slightly with the breathing, vaguely highlighting the beautiful shape of the plump mountain, the still flat belly and plump buttocks, making people feel plump and tender, showing the beauty of a delicate mature woman Temperament, but also vaguely shows mature charm.

This woman is not simple.

At the very least, when Huo Teng met her eyes, the woman secretly returned a wink, which made Huo Teng feel a little lost even when he saw Andreas.

"Hello, Dean." Huo Teng pretended to greet Andreas enthusiastically, and said with trepidation, "I always believe that mature and rational civilized people are more qualified to manage the country than those warriors."

"Yeah, you're right."

Andreas was a little tired from listening to the court outside, so he unceremoniously sat on Huo Teng's main seat, admonishing Huo Teng as an elder: "You are also a smart boy, Huo Teng, I like your cleverness Wisdom. But now you are not suitable to manage a city immediately, I really hope that you can go back to the monastery with me, and assist me in managing the monastery as the vice-principal."

This……

Huo Teng couldn't help feeling his scalp tingle.

What Andreas said was beautiful, but Huo Teng could feel that when he chose to return to the monastery, it was the beginning of a break with Conosha.

This old guy is very good at playing tricks on people's hearts.

However, Huo Teng is not stupid.With [-] soldiers in hand, whoever's temptation is with profit.

Huo Teng soon realized that the old man Andreas probably didn't have the energy and ability to manage the affairs of the monastery properly.Because he is a noble priest.

The so-called noble priest is a general term.In the early church, most of them were cultured and capable ascetic monks, but with the continuous entry of the ruling class, more and more nobles became members of the church.The nobles spend money or use connections to open the back door for the nobles, or the church flatters the nobles. In short, the result is that a large number of priests who are good at communicating with the nobles and of noble blood not only do not understand the church’s Bible, do not read the commentaries on the Bible, and even how to manage it. The personnel affairs of the church are not good.But they occupy the ascending channel of the church, leaving the educated and capable people nowhere to go.

What they are best at is devouring the wealth of the church and serving as patrons between the nobles and the church. They are self-righteous and arrogant, and despise ordinary scholars who are knowledgeable but have no chance to advance.

People like this are the most corrupt destroyers of the church.

Like this woman next to Andreas.She winked and said, "I am Countess Sharra, and Andreas is my husband, but we are very different."

Andreas, as a priest, is married.

This in itself was not a problem, since before Cluniac most priests were married (except ascetics etc.).But Andreas married a widow of an earl. The union of the two has a deep political purpose.

Although Huo Teng is not good at engineering and technology, it is not difficult to see through it with his own historical knowledge.

Andreas came here to win him over. He fell in love with his soldiers and talents, but he couldn't bear to make a promise. He even thought that Huo Teng could go with him by relying on his status in the world.

joke.

Grand Duke Theodoric sent Andreas here, wouldn't it be to give away the head?

"Thank you for your kindness, but I have already agreed to the Countess Conosha to serve as her court priest. I think this needs to be discussed with you, the Countess, and Bishop Matt." Huo Teng did not show any signs, and the bishop Matt hooked up too.

Sure enough, Andreas became upset when he found out that Huo Teng declined.

But Mrs. Shala leaned over very colorfully, her delicate and charming body was pressed against Huo Teng, comforting her husband: "Honey, doesn't it seem that we are not sincere in such a hasty invitation? Why don't we wait for us to settle down first, then Formally invite Huo Teng to come to our residence for the banquet."

Mrs. Shara is already a very standard aristocratic posture, and has nothing to do with the church.

Andreas lowered his head and thought about it, thinking that Huo Teng had 300 troops in his hand, so he could only agree in this way.But in his heart, he still looked down on Huo Teng, an ordinary warrior like Huo Teng.

"That's fine, we were the ones who were abrupt."

Andreas got up, but still arrogantly told Huo Teng: "Young man, see the road clearly."

Although Huo Teng's expression remained unchanged, he sent Andreas and his party away with a smile, but his eyes would not betray his master.

Who would be willing to follow Andreas like this?

Just as they were parting, Madam Shala suddenly turned her head and held her pure white hand in Huo Teng's.

Her delicate fingers hooked Huo Teng's palm twice.

When Huo Teng raised his head in surprise, Mrs. Shara raised her hands above her head indistinctly, posing as a rabbit.

This is not kidding.

In folk culture and various legends, rabbits are generally regarded as a symbol of lewdness.Because rabbits are prolific, and often make XXOO movements, and have frequent sex lives, they are often regarded as hidden sexual hints by Christian culture.

Mrs. Shara is sending sexual hints to Huo Teng.

And it is a sexual suggestion that is not easy for ordinary people to perceive.

For example, Dean Andreas did not discover this behavior of his wife.

But Huo Teng is a cultural person who has studied hard in the monastery.

This gun, is it a date or not?

……

After sending Andreas away, Huo Teng revised his impression of this person.

This is an old jerk easily ruined by arrogance.

Then Horten could not help being called to Göttingenburg by the jealous Ms. Conoza.

"You...serve me to change my clothes!" In order to punish Huo Teng, Ms. Conosha once again ordered Huo Teng to serve her naked.

It's just that Huo Teng touched her delicate legs and jade feet, as well as her plump buttocks that didn't match her slender waist, and she didn't know whether to punish Huo Teng or to show her favor.

When the countess of Connorsa was blushing and her heart was beating, Huo Teng said in a low voice, "Countess, I'm afraid... I have to have an affair with a noble lady countess."

Chapter 26 The Implications of Friend Marriage

"you!"

Connorsa was a little annoyed.This Huo Teng, dressed himself, didn't he remind him of the orderly relationship between the two?

It's a pity that Huo Teng really didn't notice it, and even felt that he was about to find out the size of the countess' whole body.

One person is using medieval moral concepts, and the other is using modern concepts and is secretly happy about it, causing two people to be somewhat misplaced about the situation of both parties.

However, Countess Conosha is still very clear that she needs Huo Teng's messy peasant soldiers to deter neighbors and subordinates who are about to move around, so she suppressed her anger and said in a deep voice: "I told you, wait for you... ..."

"If there is an angel who can support my army, I would rather marry him than my cousin. These are the exact words you told me when you were in Gaogang." Of course Huo Teng knew that the relationship between the two There is still a big gap in status, but it does not prevent Conosha's promise from being revealed.

Sure enough, when she heard the oath she made when she was flustered, Connorsa's expression became very strange.

Her rationality told her that Huo Teng's social status made it impossible for him to marry her, but Huo Teng's future was also far away that she could not see.And her sensibility still retains the emotion she felt at that time.

She wanted to marry Huo Teng, but the conditions of the times did not allow it.Unless Huo Teng proves his military exploits, or his reputation is so great that it shocks all the duchies, a rash marriage may even attract the duchies' compulsory intervention.

"I... Dear Huo Teng, please allow me to delay my promise temporarily, this is not a breach of contract." Connorsa was nervous for a moment, even picked up her skirt, walked up to Huo Teng with small steps and kissed her, "But if we want If we want to be together, we must avoid the interference of Grand Duke Diodoric, Archbishop of Aachen and others."

Huo Teng really didn't expect that, after just a little probing, Conosha would confide in her.

It can only be said that Huo Teng benefited a lot from the thin emotional life of medieval people.If Conosha had withstood the baptism of the Internet storm in later generations, she would probably have scolded Huo Teng so badly by now.

From this point of view, Conosha is also pure in emotion.

"Even if it's a friend's marriage, we can't make it public...or even...In short, if you need it very much, I allow you to find an honest and reliable couple, but you must not officially get married!" Connorsa blamed herself a little, and began to write Consciousness diverges to troubles before and after marriage.

The so-called friend marriage is a contract between a man and a woman. The man does not give a bride price, and the woman does not give a dowry. The two agree to live together as husband and wife for a period of time, but they can also separate at any time.Although the two parties are equal on the surface, in terms of the unequal social status of men and women in the Middle Ages, this form of marriage is mostly to provide romantic male nobles without being responsible.

This is probably because, although there were many mistakes in the Christian church in the Middle Ages, the high requirements for monogamy and the consensus formed by the society made it impossible for male and female nobles to divorce easily once they got married.

Because the Christian church stipulates that a Christian cannot divorce casually unless his wife dies, his wife is unfaithful, and his wife betrays Christianity.Divorce requires the strong intervention of the local archbishop, and divorce is generally not allowed.

Therefore, due to the high cost of marriage, and male aristocrats tend to be hooligans and pursue more sexual partners, so there is a compromise marriage of friends.

Just like in the west now, because marriage and divorce are too troublesome, most couples simply live together as if they were married, and they can break up at any time.

"That being said, her husband doesn't necessarily allow me."

Huo Teng smiled slightly, making Conosha's expression froze.

Didn't the countess refer to herself?

Only then did Huo Teng tell the truth of the matter: "Andreas wanted to win me into his camp against you, but I flexibly avoided the topic, and he still didn't seem to give up on me. Andreas Si is a man of great ambition and incompetence. His wife is Countess Sharra, and that lady seems to be interested in me."

"How do you show it?" Conosha pinched her waist angrily.

Horten compared a rabbit's ears, and Conorsha immediately understood the hint.

"hateful!"

The countess was very angry that Countess Sara seduced her favorite subordinate and future husband, but considering Andreas' threat, she had to win over Countess Sara.She wanted to have both, but was afraid that Huo Teng would leave her.

"Then what do you mean?"

Huo Teng clearly stated his thoughts: "We have no way to confront Dean Andreas head-on, but why not seduce Mrs. Shala into the arena. If she is willing to help us, then Andreas is nothing to worry about."

"That's true..." Connorsa hurriedly sat down, opened the aristocratic heraldry, and searched for Madam Shala's past.

"Yes. The Countess of Siala is the hostess of a wealthy earldom near the capital of Lorraine. She is quite influential in the capital. It is said that the marriage with Andreas was only because the Grand Duke helped him to propose marriage. Madam Shala was only allowed to marry. But after marriage, Madam Shala still holds her own property and territory."

Conosha admitted that Huo Teng's plan can.

But she had to pimp him herself and help him commit adultery with that woman, which made Conosha very upset.

Seeing that she agreed, Huo Teng turned and left without saying a word.

But Conosha specially invited Huo Teng's widow, Amelia, to the city for a party.

During the party, Conosha proposed to Amelia: "You are the current master of the Bowenden family. In the name of the Earl of Göttingen, I exercise custody of Horten Bowenden. I hope to choose him A partner in a friend's marriage, through the empty time before the official marriage. Can you accept it?"

"Me? I'm sure I can't... this..." Amelia lowered her head shyly.

She is Huo Teng's sister-in-law.Although the moral concepts in the Middle Ages were not strong, and many people would be able to get a shot if they met in the wild, but Amelia still couldn't get over the hurdle in her heart.

"No, I'm not talking about you! I mean... I want Jones and Huo Teng to form a friendship marriage, as a partner to help me rule Göttingen County." Saying so, Connorsa blushed slightly.

Although there is no need to pay a bride price, the man still needs to pay a certain amount of property as a reward for the woman's time and physical companionship.
