Chapter ninety-one, turning point
"Maxiu comes out." Rudolf continued to appoint his ministers, he said in the hall.
"Sir." Ma Xiu appeared from one side of the column, and he appeared like a shadow.
"I appoint you as the spy manager." Rudolph didn't say much. He needed a sharp dagger in the darkness. As a villain, Maxiu is of course very suitable.
The main ministers in Rudolph's court were appointed, but only the Minister of Finance was vacant because Rudolph wanted to take on this extremely important job himself.
"Biedor Engelberg, I will report your apology to the Church of Our Lady. During this period, you can go to your diocese to perform your duties." Rudolph said to Sir Buckhouse. At first he thought he could not appoint a bishop of the diocese, but he realized through Rudolph's memory that he was in the early and middle period of the Middle Ages, and in fact, it was the era when the struggle between royal power and clan power was the most intense, and the rights of the Pope were not as powerful as those of the middle and late periods.
The German states generally implemented the secular power of bishops. They were provided by the great nobles and appointed bishop candidates, and then they could only file with the Roman Catholic Church. The Roman Church had no power and was unwilling to offend the nobles in such matters. However, after the Third Crusade, the royal power was weakened under the collision with the East, and the church's rights rose sharply, which gave the bishop's power to Rome.
But even so, as long as the great nobles propose bishop candidates, without any conflict with the Pope, the Pope will basically recognize the candidates proposed by the great nobles. It can be said that it is a compromise and balance between secular royal power and church rights.
"Okay, my lords, the reward has been completed. If nothing is done, please return to your territory, disband your army and resume territorial production, of course, wait for my call at any time." After Rudolf's appointment, he said to the vassals.
"Yes, Lord Regent." The vassals said quickly. They had no intention of staying in Schwartzburg. After all, they led the army out of their land, and their homes might become a place where robbers or beasts were rampant.
On the gatehouse of the castle, Rudolph watched the vassals leave on horseback. The army with various flags outside the castle, like a sand castle on the beach, disappeared little by little under the erosion of the waves. Seeing the last group of troops leave, Rudolph breathed a sigh of relief.
"Even though they all left." Rudolf was afraid that these vassals would cause trouble in the name of Count Schwartz. Although his army had occupied the entire castle, if so, the war that would have ignited again would definitely bring disaster to Schwartz County, which had been severely damaged by the Flagless Brotherhood.
"Regent, I intercepted this." At this moment, Ma Xiu walked over, holding a dead dove in his hand and a small note written in parchment.
"Let me see." Rudolph took the note, but he didn't know the Latin language. Earl Schwartz did not train Rudolph as his heir, so he didn't understand Latin language at all.
"Uh, go find me a priest." Rudolph frowned. Although he didn't know what was written on it, there were court priests in the castle, and these priests generally knew Latin.
"Yes, Lord Regent." Maxiu hurriedly went down the castle gatehouse and went to find the palace priest.
"Hmph, you don't have to think about who did it." Rudolph looked at the note in his hand. Even though he didn't know the Latin text on it, his eyes were looking towards the main tower.
In the forest of Luxembourg, Legras also ushered in a turning point in his life. It was a huge opportunity to meet Henry, the Duke of Bavaria and Saxony, the Lion of Henry, who was the spy manager of Henry, who thought Legras from unknown origin, and the scene suddenly became a little awkward.
"Since you want to see it, then as you wish." Legras reached out and took off his helmet. As the helmet slowly rose, Lion Henry and his two companions looked at him in surprise.
"Devil, devil, Duke, please stay behind."
"Oh, God bless."
Leglas' pale skin and appearance scared the Duke's two companions. In this era of strong faith, they immediately pointed the cross pendant on their necks at Lagles, believing that this was a demon in knight's armor.
"Are the devil? Hey." Legras was not angry. He had been used to it anyway, and it was still annoying that he was called the devil in person.
"Haha, it's such a weird head!" But the Lion Henry was not afraid. He looked at Legras's bare head interestingly, and said, then walked over and picked up the rabbit meat on the grill and teared off one of his legs, and started eating it on his own.
"Duke, please don't."
"Sir, please spit it out immediately. Let's find a church to confess and then wash it with holy water." The courtiers of the Lion Henry hurriedly stopped him.
"Enough, it's just a pale knight. Why are you so fussy? And we have promised him that you will accept his food as long as you see his face. Do you want to be a nobleman who breaks his promise?" said Henry, the Lion, dismissively.
"But, but he."
"Shut up, if you continue to evaluate the appearance of this lord, I will drive you out of my court." Lion Henry chewed rabbit meat and said to his spy chief.
"Yes, Lord Duke." Knowing the character of Lion Henry's doing what he said, the spy manager quickly shut up.
"Are you afraid of me?" Legras looked at the Lion Henry in surprise. This was the first time that someone had dared to face his appearance, and in order to protect himself, he could not hesitate to say what he wanted to drive away his courtiers.
"It's delicious, so jazz, are you willing to go with us? I can treat you well when I arrive in Bavaria." Lion Henry applied the grease on his lips, which made his beard even more greasy, and he said to Legras.
"You want to invite me?" Legras was shocked. Although he became a knight, he was never a welcome target. Children would throw stones at him, and farmers would drive him away with pitchforks. In desperation, he had to wear a helmet to cover his face, and became a robber knight in revenge.
"That's right."
"Dude, no, this is causing disaster." The courtiers of the Lion Henry's face were pale. They were simply frightened. They didn't know what disaster would happen when they traveled with the same devil.
