goddess of revolution

Chapter 49 Who is the friend and who is the enemy

The center of the farm town is a circular square, and a three-story circular stone building stands in the center of the square.

The first floor of the small stone building is the "government service center" of the farm, where the management staff distributes materials and benefits, registers points, and approves grades.The second floor is the archives, and the third floor is the office of the senior managers. The current senior managers are Sebadian and Tarrence.

Sebadian was arranging specific work outside. In Tarrence's office, the walls were covered with papers, and the old man was still pasting more papers on them.

Hearing the sound of footsteps, Tarrence turned his head and froze for a moment.

Li Qi was in front, and Tina was behind, both of them were blushing.Li Qi was elated, with a contented look on his face, while Tina was extremely shy, her eyes seemed to be watering.

"Uh, Viscount..."

For a moment, Tarrence felt that his faith was slightly shaken.

Judging by the appearance of the two of them, could it be that they were outside... wild co-op just now?
First it was Fenny, then Tina, and Li Qi "purified" the witch in "that way". He wondered if the priesthood of the goddess also included that aspect?

But apart from Fei Ni's age, there's nothing wrong with doing what you like, and not engaging in the tricks of the nobles.

Tarrence felt that it was better for him to remind him a little bit. He coughed and said, "Viscount, it's better to do important things in a more secret place."

"Well, you're doing well!"

Li Qi thought that the old man was explaining why he didn't go to him, but asked him to come over, and said while looking at the information wall with satisfaction.

Tarrence opened his mouth, and the joy on the boy's face was extremely rare. He decided not to disturb the Pope's good mood.

"The current situation is like this..."

Talens displayed the information collected in the past few days according to the power structure of the kingdom.

The king is a line, and under the piece of paper with the crown drawn is a line of names, and each name is associated with several events.

Princess Catherine is related to the Conrad City incident...

The king's chief attendant, the head of the kingdom's knights, and the legendary Grand Knight Baron Numanel is involved in the northern campaign to wipe out the remnants of the rebellious peasants...

Sir McGore, the king's second servant, is related to the employment records of the adventurer's guild in the capital and several other cities...

The Lady Ye Church, which has a temple on the outskirts of the capital, is related to the entry and exit records of several personnel and materials...

The movements of the king's line are all furtive, and the details are rather vague.The line of loyalty to the court is much clearer, and most of the walls are filled with information from the court and various churches.

"Before we only saw the contradiction between the court and the king, but now it seems that we have ignored the bigger contradiction in the kingdom, which is the contradiction within the court."

Tarrence said: "Actually, the conflict between the two factions has existed since the beginning, but I didn't expect it to grow to this extent."

The king's conspiracy is still unclear for a while, but with the guarantee from Familia and the support of Princess Theresia, Li Qi feels that it should not be the most imminent threat.

Familia reminded that the kingdom was about to undergo a major change, and Li Qi seemed to be missing the point.Now Talens roughly scanned the situation of the kingdom through the underground channel, and suddenly saw a big black spot that he had ignored before.

The Royal Court of the Kingdom is divided into the "Headquarters faction" and the "Kingdom faction", and the two factions have shown signs of being incompatible.

Li Qi had already seen this in the Temple of Suicide. He thought it was an accident, but he didn't expect it to be just a wave.

Teresia will put herself in prison, in addition to comforting her conscience, she may not have the intention of bridging the rift between the "headquarters faction" and the "kingdom faction".

Compared with her "moderate kingdom faction", what will happen next to the "extreme kingdom faction" and "headquarters faction" represented by Sylvie, Li Qi feels that it is likely to be the source of storms for the kingdom in the future.

He is not very familiar with the history of the Loyalty Court, nor is he aware of the appeals and strengths of the two factions. Fortunately, there is an old world like Talens.

"The Court of Loyalty was originally established together with the Tudor Empire. The main god of the court is Sif, the god of nobility. But with the split of the Tudor Empire, the Court has experienced many changes and gradually declined. The headquarters is in Erxiang The Church of the Guardian God replaced the Church of the Noble God, which was originally the main god, and established a new court. Each independent kingdom also needs a righteous name, so it cooperated with the new court and allowed the court to establish branches in the kingdom. Department, reintegrate the faith of the loyal gods."

"For hundreds of years, the loyal court has supported the city of Youxiang with the support of the local branch. The kingdom has also relied on the banner of the loyal court to consolidate its royal power and stabilize the rule of the nobles."

Talens narrated the history of the loyalty to the court. After listening to it, Li Qi felt confident.

"That is to say, the headquarters faction of the divine court is actually the church faction, and the kingdom faction is actually the aristocratic faction."

Even for Fein in the world of gods and demons, the laws of history still apply. Li Qi saw too many familiar figures from previous lives in Shenting.

"The Viscount is right. The headquarters of the Divine Court includes two types of people. One type is mainly high-level people who want to continue to maintain their power, and they live in the world of flowers and wine. The branch is like a canal, with a steady stream of people. transfer benefits to them.”

As a former high-ranking member of the church, Tarrence's analysis of the loyal court can be described as penetrating: "The other type is mostly middle-level and grassroots backbones, all of whom are ambitious clergymen. They are like every pious and pure clergyman. Similarly, I hope that the structure of the Holy Court will be tighter and the order of the church will be stricter. Instead of the current situation, the Holy Court is composed of many churches, and there are divisions between localities and headquarters, which seems very loose."

Li Qi nodded, and continued: "The Kingdom faction is simple. They are all nobles of the kingdom, and they want to continue the system of noble divisions and maintain their rule. But the two types of people in the Shenting headquarters, the first type is in their The second category is to weaken or even cut off their rule over the kingdom."

Looking at this trend, it may be possible to stage a Finn version of the Anglican Church angering the Holy See in the future...

However, there are still differences. After all, with the presence of gods, the depth and dimension of the conflict between the two sides will be much greater, and the room for maneuver in the conflict will be much greater.Moreover, the interests they are fighting for are not as simple as that of the earth world.

"In the Kingdom of Hadron, the headquarter faction in the Kaim Church is very powerful. The Bishop of the Holy Court, Ruen, is also the Cardinal High Priest of the Kingdom Branch of the Kaim Church. Although he is a member of the Kingdom, everyone thinks that his The position is biased towards the headquarters of Youxiang."

"Other members of the court, such as the churches of the God of Nobles, the God of Knights, and the Goddess of Literature and Art, can all be counted as the Kingdom School. These churches were all established by local nobles and have little to do with Youxiang."

"Shenting's Erxiang headquarters is almost equal to the headquarters of the Kaim Church. The ultimate ideal of many headquarters factions is to allow the Kaim Church to absorb other churches, establish a single large church, and use the church to control the country and even the entire continent. But because It is impossible for Kaim, the guardian god, to launch a god war to kill his allies, they are just thinking about it."

When Tarrence said this, Li Qi curled his lips: "Even if they kill the nobles and establish a church state, nothing will change. It is nothing more than replacing the nobles with priests. How the nobles ruled before, they are still the same .”

He said disdainfully: "However, the priests are busy serving the gods, and the secular affairs of the territory are not something they are good at, so they can only be entrusted to the servants. Over time, the servants have become new secular nobles. Isn't this turning back?"

"This one……"

Tarrence couldn't keep up with Li Qi's train of thought, but he felt that asking "Is there any other way of ruling?" would make him look very stupid.

"But the power of the Headquarters faction is very strong. Let alone Bishop Ruen, he is a legend. Most of the high-level priests of the Kem Church are from the Headquarters faction. The Holy Knights of the church have more than 200 saints of the hero level. Knights are stronger than the Knights of the Kingdom, and more importantly..."

Talens turned the topic to a field he was familiar with: "Youxiang's Kaim Church is the most powerful force in the mainland, and there are more than a dozen legends just announced. It also cooperates with the Chamber of Commerce and Mages There will be very close interests.”

He came to a very cautious conclusion: "I think it is unlikely that the Kingdom faction will openly turn against the headquarter faction. However, there may be some friction in terms of personnel and resources."

Tarrence made a proposal that he thought was extremely bold and quite feasible, and this was also the "best policy" in the "Short-to-medium-term external development strategy of the Scarlet Church" he had prepared.

"We can find a way to connect with the line sent by the headquarters, so that we can jump out of the vortex of the kingdom. The headquarters of the divine court should also be willing to accept a new god."

Li Qi rolled his eyes at him: "Then he was thrown into the vortex as a pawn?"

This kind of thing can be understood just by looking at the history of China. It is the political wisdom that high school students should have.

"Uh……"

After all, Tarrence had only been a senior member of a small church and had no experience in this kind of power struggle.As soon as Li Qi said, he suddenly woke up, and a thin layer of sweat suddenly appeared on his forehead.

That's right, the Viscount really sees through. The best way to use the outsiders who come to your door is to use them as pawns to charge forward.

He's obviously just a boy, just a little Viscount...

Tarrence looked at Li Qi's eyes with a little more awe, and he quickly put forward the prepared "middle strategy": "Then our best choice is to join the Kingdom faction, there is the friendship between the Viscount and Princess Theresia, and Through the church propaganda that the Countess is doing, it should not be difficult for us to gain a relatively stable position in the Kingdom faction."

"Even if the Kingdom faction is suppressed by the Headquarters faction, it is impossible for the Headquarters faction to wipe out the Kingdom faction. We still have room to survive. Only when we survive can we talk about development."

Li Qi stared at Tarrence for several seconds, which made Tarrence a little hairy, before he heard him say: "Tarrence, you are opportunistic. From the very beginning, we have to confirm some basic thing."

"Whether it's the king, the imperial court, the church faction or the kingdom faction, these are all appearances."

He glanced at the numerous pieces of paper on the wall, thinking that these were enemies.It's just sequence and distance.

"Generally speaking, who is a friend and who is an enemy, this question must be clarified."

"After figuring this out, we have to look at the entire Fein, what are the current main contradictions, what are the secondary contradictions, and how are the contradictions transformed. Let's look at the main contradictions and secondary contradictions in the kingdom. What is it?"

"The main contradiction determines our long-term strategy in the future. The backward and corrupt party in the main contradiction is our long-term enemy. It seems that it will be hostile to us temporarily and cause us trouble, but it also exists with the enemy in the main contradiction. Irreconcilable and contradictory forces are also objects we can unite with."

Li Qi's words caused a hurricane in Tarrence's heart, this is it!

After five lectures, four beauties and three loves, I finally heard this kind of weird wording, but it contains extreme rationality and strange order!
"Tarrence, we are not doing business, we just want to grow and grow. We want to let the glory of our Lord shine on the whole of Fein. We can't plan our actions based on whether the next step is profitable or safe."

Li Qi's eyes shone with the familiar light of Tarrence, which had appeared when the first doctrine was determined.

The old man vaguely guessed something, a little excited, but also a little apprehensive: "But, the teachings of my lord..."

"That's right, Tarrence, we have the second doctrine, which can solve the problem of who is friend and who is enemy."

Li Qi's joy comes from this point. He has found another and most important stepping stone to bring everyone's beliefs to the revolution.

He said expectantly: "Tonight we will hold a...life meeting."
