Eagle Byzantium

Chapter 92: Difficulties from Orthodox Priests

After the gate of the guard's inner palace opened, Kaleadios and a group of knights rode out. When they passed by the helmeted palace, everyone looked up and stared solemnly, and some even felt dizzy.

The emperor's chariot stopped at Sarabria to wait for them. This time Gawain brought some of the guard cavalry, plus a group of young bodyguard knights. After setting foot on the road leading to Weize Castle, they looked to the north. OK.

On the way, the emperor chatted with Kaleadios, his son, from time to time, mainly asking about Inglina's health. After all, after the last great triumph, the widow was firmly in control of the palace. The powerful Anna was sent back to her country estate in Seleucia on the grounds that her mansion in the palace had not yet been completed and the Gallipoli palace was "too cramped".

After arriving at the picturesque Sozopolis, the emperor's team stayed here for several days, which also gave the guards a chance to take a vacation. At the same time, the emperor intended to send messengers to inform the Orthodox priests in the Mosia region, telling them that Send thirty to fifty representatives to attend the inauguration ceremony of the new city hall The ceremony actually gave them an opportunity to accept the innovation. Gawain had had enough of killing and banishing him. He now wrote to the Holy Sister far away in Anatolia, expressing his true feelings, "I hope to arbitrate and mediate the differences between them." doctrine, establish a church organization firmly controlled by the state and the royal family, and follow the structural model of the New Church There are obviously still some shortcomings in this style. Although Orthodoxy is now in decline, it still has spiritual authority and influence. The churches in Syria and Armenia, including your Pauline sect and the Bogomil sect of Mosia, are too radical in doctrine. There are great similarities with the Nestorians who came from the East, and Saint Peter The Catholic Church also has its own merits - in order to integrate these, I have to make a well-paced religious innovation, but it needs the support of a lot of achievements... I have been quite troubled by this recently... .... Your lay believers have gray hair on their heads and can’t help feeling that time has flown by.”

Cabeamia, who was presiding over the construction of the synagogue under Sebastian City, secretly sat in front of the mirror cabinet and combed her hair. Gawain's letter was opened and lay quietly on the table. The saint sister also sighed with emotion. Suddenly, she noticed that there was a white hair between the teeth of the comb. It was hers. Time quietly left traces on her originally black hair.

"As dark as it was originally, how conspicuous the white is now." After saying this, Kabeamiya closed her eyes with her palms closed, muttering a strange mantra from the Anatolian mountains, hoping that she could still Keep your youth.

She knew that Gawain would soon have to go to the east to fight, and she could still stay with him for a while.

Meisembria is a city built on an island, and the newly completed town hall is particularly eye-catching. The new synagogue not only houses civil courts, but is often accompanied by indoor trade fairs, Greek schools and Priestly service room, for which there is no longer a need for Mass or icon-painting ceremony ——Any believer who has religious service needs can approach the Protestant priests. Their clothing is also very neat: they have short shaved hair, wearing black stand-up collar robes, hanging amber rosary beads, holding the Gospel and Ecclesiastes in their hands, This kind of dress is very popular among the people and has won the hearts of young people.

The one who designed such neat and capable clothes was none other than the Empire's Baselisa. Since the uniforms of the Reform Society were finalized, according to statistics, the number of young people joining the Reform Society has increased by half compared to previous years.

In front of the courtyard of the Assembly Hall, there were about fifty Protestant priests, all wearing black robes, and thirty Orthodox priests from various cities in Mosia, still wearing traditional costumes, and together with many citizen representatives, they welcomed With the arrival of the emperor.

Seeing that the uniforms of the new congregation were in such good spirits, Gawain was in a good mood. After dismounting, he greeted the young priests one by one. However, most of the Orthodox priests there were old and had unhappy expressions on their faces.

"Your Majesty, I am the Archbishop of the Meissenbria Synagogue, and my name is Thomas." A middle-aged man wearing the badge of the Archbishop in the team came out, kissed His Majesty's arm, and then his left chest, and announced to himself identity.

Gawain smiled heartily, took Thomas's hand, and said that everyone should go into the meeting hall of the synagogue to talk.

As they passed through the colonnade of the courtyard, Gawain loudly told Thomas, "Meisenbria is adjacent to the Eucharist Sea. It is important for commerce and has a prosperous population. You must serve the various large and small congregations well and do a good job in civil self-government. As for the towns Although it is the responsibility of local officials to collect taxes and annuities, you must also cooperate. At the same time, if you really encounter corrupt officials who endanger the people, you also have the right to go to the High Court in Tervono to impeach them. "

Thomas humbly expressed that he would live up to His Majesty's expectations and do a good job in the affairs of Meisembria, the convergence zone of this important town.

"I'm optimistic about you!" The emperor patted Thomas on the back politely and enthusiastically. By this time, the meeting hall had arrived. It was modeled after the ancient Curia synagogue. The so-called seats were arranged in a circle. Except for the exits and corridors, all priests About a hundred people, including members of the Bogomil faction who had traveled from the countryside, sat separately according to their positions.

As a result, just after the emperor and Thomas finished speaking, a voice suddenly rang out in the circular assembly hall, "Your Majesty, you said that after the end of his term, Sir Thomas the Archbishop of Meisembria, do you think you would like to be re-elected?" Look good, do you support it?”

Gawain stood in the sunlight cast by the fisheye of the patio. Many guards, including Kaleadios, surrounded him. He squinted at the speaker of the voice, who seemed to be an indigenous Orthodox priest from Mosia.

"Okay, if Thomas handles affairs well during his term, of course I will support his re-election." The emperor smiled and spread his hands. At this moment, all the sword guards and the Reformed priests sitting on the seats They all laughed kindly together.

The entire hall was suddenly filled with a lively and happy atmosphere.

Gawain then turned around and sat down on an armchair. He would soon personally perform an authorization ceremony for Thomas, and Thomas would also read an oath, swearing to serve the emperor, the empire and the people.

As a result, before he could sit down, the voice spoke in Greek that was not very fluent, and came out strangely, "But the New Church is not like the Ecumenical Church or the original Orthodox Church in the capital. The synagogue director is elected by the Council of Cardinals. If your majesty supports Mr. Thomas, then Mr. Thomas will definitely be re-elected, because the roster and authorization process of the new society are in the hands of the imperial royal family. So, will your words just give people a seed? What about some sense of ‘imperial determination’?”

There was a roar, and the whole auditorium was in a commotion and talking. Gawain was just about to sit down, but he was still bending down. After hearing this difficulty, his face suddenly froze, and his face became as frosty.

Soon, the emperor stood up from the armchair again and asked the corner where the sound came from, "What do you mean by Yuding just now?"
