Chapter 2295 scarlet woman(9)

There is a dish of grilled eel on the table of the fresco "The Last Supper" painted by Leonardo da Vinci. According to the requirements of fasting at that time, it should not appear on the table of the apostles.

After secularization, no one remembered this incident, and because of changes in people's dietary structure, many fishing cities began to decline, or were converted into trading cities like Amsterdam.

If there is a custom of fasting, then you can ask all guests to refrain from drinking or eating, but the problem is that even fasting must have a reason, and it is not a fasting period.

At this moment, Father Grégoire walked towards Georgiana.

"I heard that you are going to meet the Archbishop of Mechelen tomorrow?" Grégoire asked.

"Is this a bad idea?" Georgiana asked scared.

Grégoire thought for a moment, "Have you seen "Educational Affairs"?"

"Yes."

"Then did you know that the Diocese of Aachen was also assigned to Mechelen?"

Georgiana recalled it.

The Archdiocese of Cologne and the Archdiocese of Mainz straddle the Rhine. When the land on the left bank of the Rhine fell into the hands of the French, these dioceses were also delimited together and no longer belonged to the Papal Bull.

within a demarcated area.

There was also the whole of Liège, but she didn't expect that they were all assigned to Mechelen.

"Archbishop Roquiello is 80 years old this year. His memory is sometimes bad and he cannot remember what happened during the Revolution," Grégoire said.

Georgiana was "digesting" what Grégoire had said.

"Do you think judges should support equality and justice?" Grégoire asked again.

"Of course not," Georgiana said immediately.

"Since the 16th century, Mechelen has been the seat of the Supreme Court. Although some people refuse to be equal to others, there are still some people who are willing to accept 'equality'. The majority of public opinion in Ghent supports the Revolution. It is very difficult for you to implement a sugar factory there.

Easy to succeed."

Georgiana was puzzled again. The reaction of the people of Ghent did not seem as enthusiastic as that of the people of St. Nicholas.

"The Cathedral of Mechelen sent a petition to Brussels because the French generals had seized church documents, which were shipped to Brussels along with the books from the library of the Leuven Theological Seminary. Can you send them to Brussels?"

Are the copies returned to them? Just as you did in Paris," Grégoire asked again.

Georgiana thought and thought, maybe it was because she was really old and did not fully understand what Grégoire meant.

"Do I need to translate it into French?" she asked subconsciously.

Grégoire smiled.

"If you have any plans in this regard, I can accompany you to see the Archbishop tomorrow."

She felt that someone would be angry about this.

She didn't feel it before, but she just copied a book from the church library and left it in the French library. Thanks to Napoleon, he signed the "Educational Treaty" to reconcile with the Holy See. Another leader might not necessarily acquiesce to her.

"mess".

The Directory planned to destroy the Papal States, but Napoleon did not obey orders like Jourdan. He just took a lot of works of art back. She remembered seeing newspaper clippings of the Paris Commune in the French library. When the Franco-Prussian War broke out in 1870, she was stationed in Rome.

The French troops withdrew, and the King of Italy took the opportunity to attack the Papal States under the pretext of "protecting the Pope." At that time, King Ludwig II of Bavaria was watching a play in the theater, and an actress acted in a play. She couldn't remember the performance.

What is it? It roughly refers to the attitude of the King of Bavaria towards this matter.

The king smiled and remained noncommittal, and the Papal States were eventually taken over by Italy in a non-peaceful manner.

The Kingdom of Bavaria is a state within the Holy Roman Empire after Austria and Prussia. Prussia takes this opportunity to expand its territory. Wouldn't Bavaria take action?

Just now Grégoire mentioned Ghent. The nieces of the Archbishop of Ghent all received annuities, but the benefits were more than just money.

Just returning the books to them but not resuming the school seemed like a minor problem on the surface, but she remembered that there were secret missionary groups and the formation of secret societies was just as serious a problem.

The University of Rouen has not reopened yet, and she will probably never forget that university built in a cemetery for the rest of her life.

What the Carrow brothers and sisters did was not clever. If Voldemort was the Defense Against the Dark Arts professor, he would use a different method to instill his views into those children who are not familiar with the world.

John of Gaunt, the descendant of the Duke of Lancaster and Salazar Slytherin, was actually the illegitimate son of a Muggle, and the kind that was not recognized.

This was something she didn't expect. It was Gent, the former Gunter, who signed the contract with them first.

"I'll think about it," Georgiana said to Grégoire.

He looked at her intently.

"What is the problem?"

"Do you know what you would say if another person said the answer you just gave?" Grégoire said, "He will agree immediately, although he may break the contract 'in the future' due to various concerns."

"That's not me," Georgiana replied.

"I know that some people hate tithing, and some people hate the feeling of being cheated even more. Last year, Paris also encountered brutal treatment by grenadiers, and many people were caught on the street and forcibly vaccinated."

"That was not my order," said Georgiana.

"I know that was not an order from you, or even an order from the First Consul. People hate the feeling of being deceived, and no one can stop them in the face of such anger. This is paying with their own credibility in exchange for clanking coins.

price."

She thought of Judas, who chose betrayal for 30 silver coins. He also held the pocket tightly at the table of "The Last Supper".

But later he regretted it and hanged himself on a tree outside Jerusalem, but he still kept the thirty silver coins. Later, he was picked up and given to the chief priest.

The chief priest said that the 30 silver coins should not be placed in the holy treasury, so they used the money to buy a piece of land from the potter. How did the potter spend the seller's money?

In fact, there is another way to make those present keep fast, and that is to say as Christ said before being betrayed, "Didn't I choose you twelve disciples? But one of you is the devil."

But if Georgiana really said that, she would probably be regarded as a madman. When people don't believe in God, they don't even believe in the devil, and there is heaven and hell.

If Hell really has the forest of suicides described by Dante, then one of the trees in it must be Judas, because the builder of Florence also erected a gallows at home and hanged himself.

And this place is not the deepest part of hell, but the second largest circle of hell.

Fear keeps people away from upright causes, like a timid beast that runs away in fear at the sound of the wind.

It's just that although this forest is next to the hot sand desert, the sound that echoes in the forest is not the sound of wind.

The forest is full of strange birds, Harpies, which use the thorny trees as their habitat.

They once drove the Trojans from the island of Strophades, and now they wail dirges and prophesy misfortunes.

And those who turned into trees, whose souls were tossed by fate like wheat seeds, sprouted and took root where they were sown, and grew into a tree full of poisonous thorns, whose leaves the Harpis finally fed on.

, every time a leaf is plucked, they wail in pain.

"Tell me what you are thinking about?" asked Grégoire.

She didn't really want to pay attention to him. He now gave her a very uncomfortable feeling. Fortunately, Bonaparte left and returned at this time, so she immediately ran over and hid behind him.

"What are you talking about with the priest?" he asked with a smile.

"What are you doing?" Georgiana asked coquettishly.

"Autopsy the corpse." He said calmly, "The man did die from poison, but he was not poisoned."

"What?"

"Andre took too much opium, and not everyone is so greedy that they want to taste other people's drinks."

She was frightened by the coldness in his words.

At the same time, she took a look at his hands. They were still clean, and she couldn't tell that he had just dissected a person.

The waiter had just collapsed. If he had been sent to hospital in time in the 20th century, he might have been able to be revived.

She felt chills all over her body, and it was hard for her to imagine how people in the anatomy theater could cheer enthusiastically when they saw a cold corpse.

"I don't want to continue this party." Georgiana said, "Can it end early?"

"Are you tired?" Bonaparte asked, looking at her.

"Yes." She replied immediately, "I will see the Archbishop tomorrow."

"you alone?"

"Father Grégoire said he would come with me."

"I will accompany you tomorrow." He took her hand and said, "Did you bring your sword?"

"What...oh, I have to ask this." She frowned and said, "Why are you wearing a sword?"

"Have you ever been knighted?" Bonaparte asked.

"You mean the kind where you put a sword on someone's shoulder and say, 'I grant it to you'?" Georgiana smiled and said, "I've seen it."

In the movie, she added in her mind.

"Is this custom still preserved in England?" asked Bonaparte.

She reacted.

"You want me to be knighted?" Georgiana pointed to her nose and almost raised her voice.

"It seems you finally understood what I said." He teased.

"I...no...what century are we living in? I can't be a knight like a feudal noble."

"It's okay if I say yes."

She stamped her feet, unable to communicate with this "ancient man", and then turned around to find someone who could answer her questions.
