Chapter 820 exchange of benefits
“Welcome to St. Stefan’s Church, Your Majesty!”
A kind smile appeared on Angelo Bechu’s rich face, and he spoke to Jerome Bonaparte casually while leaning slightly.
“Bishop Bechuu, you are welcome to welcome him personally!” Jerome Bonaparte replied with a slight nod to the cardinal in front of him.
As one of the highest religious members in the entire Vienna region, Cardinal Angelo Bechuco gave Jerome Bonaparte enough face.
Adhering to the style of people respecting me one foot, I respect others ten feet.
Jerome Bonaparte also gave Angelo Becciu a face. He grabbed the back of Cardinal Becciu’s hand and gave a kiss to show respect.
Immediately afterwards, the chanting groups lined up on both sides of the red carpet began to sing carols under the priest’s gesture.
In the midst of a solemn chant, Jerome Bonaparte, Queen Augusta and Cardinal Angelo Bechu systematically entered the interior of the Cathedral of St. Stefano.
After entering the church, the first thing that catches your eye is the human figure carved on the wall behind the prayer table in front of the church. These human-shaped statues were carved into the walls by craftsmen hundreds of years ago with their dexterous hands. The expressions and movements of each person carved are lifelike. praying.
Above the statue is a glass window composed of yellow, red, and blue glass in irregular shapes.
On the left and right walls of the church, there are various portraits inlaid with gold rims, and the gold rims of the self-portraits emit bright golden light under the illumination of the candles on the crystal chandeliers.
Angelo Becciu and Jerome Bonaparte walked along the red carpet to the prayer table under the watchful eyes of deacons, priests and bishops in the church.
Angelo Becciu and Jerome Bonaparte stood on top with solemn expressions, the carol they were singing stopped abruptly the moment Angelo Becciu started speaking.
Angelo Becciu then spoke. He first thanked Jerome Bonaparte for coming on behalf of everyone in the cathedral. He said that it was because of Jerome Bonaparte and Augusta The arrival of the church makes the church look bright today.
Jerome Bonaparte only smiled at Angelo Becci’s flattery. He understood that politeness must be required of others.
It’s just that Jerome Bonaparte still doesn’t know what Angelo Becciu is asking for.
Next, Angelo Becciu praised Jerome Bonaparte in front of everyone, not only for taking possession of the Holy Land from the Orthodox heresy, but also for saving the Kingdom of Poland from the evil Orthodox heresy. came out.
“Your Majesty, your contribution is no less than that of the expedition that spread the glory of God to the East!” Angelo Becciu once again praised Jerome Bonaparte.
These are all **** metaphors, has Lao Tzu now become a pronoun for burning, killing and looting?
“This is what I should do!” Although Jerome Bonaparte complained about Angelo Bechuu’s “inappropriate” metaphor, he immediately put on a pious expression: ” I firmly believe that every righteous believer will not want to see the sharp spear of God being broken by others!
It is our duty in France to recast the spearhead of God! Maintaining the authority of the Holy See is the constant goal of France for thousands of years! ”
Angelo Bechuu, who was standing beside Jerome Bonaparte, also showed a subtle embarrassment on his face after hearing Jerome Bonaparte’s words, which was almost instantaneous. The embarrassment of passing away was grasped keenly by Jerome Bonaparte.
Jerome Bonaparte guessed that Angelo Becciu might have thought of France’s previous actions. As God’s filial daughter, France has been beating and kicking her “father”, and she was not at all soft when it came to exploding the Holy See’s gold coins. .
The way to maintain the authority of the Holy See is to “invite” the Pope to come to the Palace of Agnion to stay for two days. If this is considered a filial daughter, then the Austrian Empire is probably the reborn parent of the Holy See.
“Thank you very much for His Majesty the Emperor’s contribution to Catholicism!” Angelo Bechuu replied to Jerome Bonaparte.
Then, a pair of little girls in white robes appeared on the red carpet holding the little boy’s hand, each holding a wreath of flowers in their hands.
The little girl and the little boy walked to the prayer table and passed the garland up with both hands. Angelo Becciu took the garland with a solemn expression and put them on their heads for Jerome Bonaparte and Augusta respectively.
“Thank you very much!” Jerome Bonaparte, wearing a wreath on his head, thanked Angelo Becciu and the two children respectively.
“Your Majesty, please come with me!” Angelo Becciu stretched out his hand and invited Jerome Bonaparte to another place.
Jerome Bonaparte and Augusta, led by Ogello Bechuu, got off the prayer platform from the left, then walked straight forward until the red carpet turned in front of them, and then turned again along the red carpet until they disappeared in the everyone’s line of sight.
Soon, Jerome Bonaparte and Queen Augusta were taken to a secluded room by Jerome Bonaparte. The whole room was different from the outside, except for a stone statue of an angel. Outside of that, you’d be hard-pressed to see anything with religious elements.
Baroque style decoration makes the whole room look extraordinarily luxurious and noble.
After entering the room, Jerome Bonaparte glanced slightly and immediately concluded that this room should be Angelo Becciu’s private study/office.
“Your Majesty, please sit down!” Angelo Becciu stretched out his hand and invited Jerome Bonaparte to sit down.
Then personally took out the tea set to make tea for Jerome Bonaparte.
“Mr. Bishop Angelo, is there anything I can help you with?” Jerome Bonaparte, who was sitting on the sofa, asked Angelo Bechufan in a calm tone.
“Your Majesty, please speak after drinking my tea!” Angelo Becciu did not respond to Jerome Bonaparte immediately, he was still brewing tea without stopping.
After a while, Angelo Becque placed the tea set in front of Jerome Bonaparte and said to him, “Your Majesty, the tea is ready!”
Jerome Bonaparte looked at the purple clay pot on the table with a smile on his face and said to Angelo Becciu, “Mr. Becciu, you know tea!”
“Don’t dare, don’t dare!” Angelo Bechu humbly responded to Jerome Bonaparte, “I only know a little bit of fur!”
“Then I’ll try it!” Jerome Bonaparte took a sip of the tea, then opened his eyes and praised Angelo Becciu: “It’s really good tea!”
“You’ve won the prize!” Angelo Becque replied humbly again, and then continued to pour tea for Jerome Bonaparte.
Jerome Bonaparte stretched out his hand to cover the teacup, and then asked Angelo Becciu, “Mr. Becciu, you must tell me why! You made such a big deal in the hall just now. The pomp of you is that you want to ask for my help! If you don’t say it, it will be difficult for me to drink the next cup of tea!”
“My Healing Game”
Angelo Bechu put down the teapot in his hand, he sighed and said to Jerome Bonaparte, “Your Majesty, I have a nephew, he wants to…”
Come on, it must be an illegitimate child again!
Jerome Bonaparte couldn’t help but complain again in his heart, but all the members of the Holy See prefer to refer to illegitimate sons as nephews.
In this way, we can openly seek welfare for the “nephew”.
Angelo Bechu told him that he has a nephew who is currently idle at home, so he wants to let Jerome Bonaparte help him run it, so that his nephew can have a half-office job!
In this way, his nephew can also get married and have children, and reproduce offspring for the “family”.
“Aren’t you a cardinal? This problem should be easy to solve!” Jerome Bonaparte asked Angelo Becciu curiously. He didn’t believe that Angelo Becciu was trusted by the Habsburgs. The cardinal was incapable of arranging a path for his son to rise within the Austrian Empire.
“Your Majesty, I am indeed respected by everyone in the Habsburg family, but this respect is based on my own sympathy for not interfering in the internal affairs of the Habsburg family!” Angelo Bechu said with a wry smile. Jerome Bonaparte replied: “Once I choose to insert my nephew into the imperial government, then in the eyes of some people, it means that I, a religious person, have begun to intervene in political issues.
No matter how I explain it, the dukes and ministers with power within the Habsburgs will see me as an enemy!
I don’t want my nephew to live in such an environment, and now that there is no war, it is not easy to make him a noble! ”
“What do you mean is that you want your nephew to have a half-official position in France, and also to become a noble.” Jerome Bonaparte said to Angelo Bechuu.
“Yes! Your Majesty!” Angelo Becque whispered to Jerome Bonaparte.
“What can you offer me?” Jerome Bonaparte asked back.
“Your Majesty, I will do everything in my power so that the Austrian Empire and the French Empire will never part ways, so that should be fine!” Angelo Bechuu then said to Jerome Bonaparte.
“Not enough!” Jerome Bonaparte shook his head and replied to Angelo Bechuu.
“Your Majesty, then what do you think I should do!” Angelo Bechu asked Jerome Bonaparte.
“Mr. Bishop Bechuu, I hope you can use your connections in the Hofburg Palace to report to us the situation of the Hofburg Palace at any time!” Jerome Bonaparte calmly told Angelo Bey. Hill Road.
“You want to be a spy!
“Angelo Bechu hesitated.
“Spy!” Jerome Bonaparte spread his hands and said to Angelo Bechuu: “How can you say that you are a spy! You are doing this to maintain the peaceful and friendly relationship between France and Austria!”
