Harry Potter Morning Light

Chapter 777 Emperor and King

There is such a game, a group of people line up in a long line, the first person in the line sees a word, he wants to express the word with actions, but he can’t say the word, and then pass it down one by one, the last person according to the passed word Guess the content of the note based on your actions.

Nine out of ten guesses are wrong, but the whole process is as happy as it is, which is often a game during icebreaking activities.

That's the way gossip is, there's always a place where it starts to spread, and then people start to spread it according to their own understanding, and finally what is said is beyond recognition.

The emperors in the Middle Ages were often re-appointed. Charles IV, who abolished the pope’s power to elect emperors, was a German of the Holy Roman Empire, not the French “Charles the Pretty”. He came from the Luxembourg family. After Aurelius Anthony and Constantine VII of the Byzantine Empire, he is the most famous scholar-type emperor in Europe, which makes him stand out among the many poor German kings in the Middle Ages.

Pretty Charles died in 1328, and there was no way to promulgate the Golden Edict in 1356. This rule stipulated that the emperor should be elected by the seven most powerful electors at that time, and the priestly electors: Mainz, Cologne, Trier Three bishops; secular electors: King of Bohemia, Count of Rhine-Palatinate, Duke of Saxony-Wittenberg and Marquis of Brandenburg, elected in Frankfurt. The election conference was convened and presided over by the Archbishop of Mainz; the coronation of the emperor was held in Aachen; the king of the Roman people was the Holy Roman Emperor, who no longer needed the anointing and coronation of the Pope.

Sometimes when we solve a problem, more problems will be generated. The more complicated the problem we solve, the more difficult the problem will be.

During the reign of Emperor Charles IV of Germany, he achieved his goals by means of bribes, marriages, promises and alliances. He also launched several wars during his reign, but the scale was very small, more like clearing bandits.

This is not the same as France, which was caught in the Hundred Years War.

The Black Death spread in countries along the Mediterranean Sea, and people blamed the plague on the Jews who murdered Jesus, so a wave of persecution of Jews swept across Europe, and about 100,000 Jews died. Many benefits were gained from the confiscation of Jewish property.

However, the Golden Edict legally determined the divisional system of the German Marquis, which was the legal basis for the Marquis to implement the monarchy system. It further weakened the imperial power and intensified the political division of Germany.

On the way to Venice by train, they passed through many countries. A city can also be a country. For example, the Vatican is now smaller than Rome, but the Pope of Vatican has hundreds of millions of believers, more than Italy The total population is large. If power comes from how many people obey their orders, who is more powerful than the power of the Vatican or the Italian government in Rome?

Can the Pope persuade the Italian government to abandon the Canal of the Holy Angel?

The Italian Port Authority is under the jurisdiction of the country, not the Venice government. They only care about the amount of taxes paid by Venice.

The Venetians refuse tourists to enter the city because they feel that the giant cruise ship will damage the environment of the island, and the huge displacement will impact the foundation of Venice.

The solution of the Port Authority is to build a new canal. This method is as genius as the British would use water pumps to solve the flood problem in Venice.

Compared with the era of the Republic, Venice's jurisdiction has now been greatly reduced. It can only manage the main island and hundreds of islands, and has no way to control the coast.

The silt deposited in the lagoon is not suitable for ships with large drafts. In order to load, the Austrians dismantled the palaces of Venice and decorated their own palaces and dug deep canals to facilitate the entry of larger ships into Venice. .

There used to be a large monastery on the island of Chertosa, which was completely demolished by Prince Charles of Prussia and rebuilt in his summer palace in Berlin.

In the eyes of these invaders, belief, morality, and law have no restrictions at all. With the impetus of the former Italian sailing champion, Certosa was revitalized. As for the monastery that was demolished, the Venetians no longer intend to take it. They built an identical one on the original site to provide places for sailing enthusiasts and various educational undertakings.

Those bureaucrats who work in the Port Authority should have gone to college. The meaning of studying for them is for their own promotion and wealth accumulation. Such people are egoists.

They like to wear Italian handmade leather shoes, Swiss watches, and British suits, so they look more refined than ordinary people, so they are exquisite egoists.

Professor Oparo will fight against these intellectual elites of the Port Authority to protect the Venetian Lagoon and prevent them from passing through the San Angel Nine Canal Project.

He must have regretted that he had taught them in the first place.

There is an island called St. Erasmo next to Le Vignole, which is called the back garden of Venice. Many Venetian families park their boats on the beach here.

This used to be the villa area of ​​the Venetian nobles, but now there are a lot of farmland. The vegetable market on the Ritoial Bridge and the Local eat restaurant are all purchased from here.

It does not mean that organic food is really organic. There are very few real organic foods. It is easy to find a bottle of extra-grade olive oil for 35 Euros in the supermarket, but it is packaged after the olive oil processor buys the brand. It is not extra virgin, just like the Holy Roman Empire, which is neither holy nor Roman nor an empire. The real extra virgin olive oil is handmade, sold by the ounce, and the price is frighteningly high, it can be said to be liquid gold.

Venice does not produce this, and olives are not grown. No matter how high the profit is, there is no way to produce such high-quality olives. They do not do this business. There are many orchards on Erasmo Island, growing grapes, peaches, tomatoes and so on.

Erasmus was not a saint of Christianity, but a pioneer of the humanities in the Renaissance. Engels once said that he was the greatest and progressive reform that mankind has never experienced before.

In his Ode to Fools, he once wrote: This kind of person who devotes himself to the study of wisdom is always unlucky everywhere, especially in the aspect of having children, because God wants to ensure that the devil of wisdom is not spread throughout the world. all mankind.

Erasmus's new translation of New Testament not only became the theoretical cornerstone of the later religious reformation, but also made the Bible questioned by religious insiders for the first time. It was of revolutionary significance at that time, and Erasmus was therefore Known as the first giant of the Netherlands, the dean of humanism, and the monument of the European Renaissance.

He is a Dutchman, but he was canonized in Venice, and he is different from the sunnah of St. Anthony and St. Francis. He questioned the Bible, and he sought wisdom and enlightenment from ancient Greek and Roman documents.

At the age of seventeen, both Erasmus' parents died in the Black Death. After embezzling his property, Erasmus encouraged him to enter a monastery in Steer. When the 21-year-old Erasmus first entered the school, his Latin skills surpassed those of his teachers, and one teacher even commented: If you use such elegant language to compose next time, please add notes.

Erasmus hated the life in the monastery. He believed that this isolated life imprisoned the development of wisdom, but he found great spiritual relief in the ancient Greek works banned by the church. He wrote: Although these are written by pagans for pagans, they are full of justice, holiness and truth. My heart cannot help crying: 'Holy Socrates, pray for me!'

During this time, Erasmus fell in love with a monk named Serbatis Roger.

In a world composed of pure men such as monasteries, prisons, and the army, this kind of homosexuality sometimes occurs, and the repressed emotions need to be vented, but not everyone likes this way. Roger was indifferent to his enthusiastic call, and later he He went to Paris, where he met two children of British nobles, one was Thomas Gray, who was mediocre but handsome and fit, and the other was Sir Montejo IV, who was superior in wisdom. They are all very enthusiastic about Erasmus, which even arouses the jealousy of Gray's Scottish valet, so that he makes things difficult everywhere.

How should a loyal servant behave when he finds his master favored by a learned teacher?

Finally, at the invitation of Sir Montecho IV, Erasmus visited England for the first time.

In 1509 Erasmus left Italy again for England. When he crossed the Alps, he came up with the idea of ​​Ode to Fools.

A fool lives in a world of self-fantasy, and finds happiness in the compliments of those around him. Such fools exist in all classes of society, but are more prominent in the arts and academia, because self-righteousness gives them great psychological satisfaction.

Popes, cardinals, and bishops are examples of such fools. These people do not have strong religious beliefs, and have already violated the simple principles that Jesus asked the apostles to abide by, extremely narcissistic, and complacent about this kind of happiness. They tirelessly strive to be meticulous in religious etiquette, How many knots should be tied, how to tie shoelaces; what color and material should be used for robe components; what length and width should be the belt.

When judgment day comes, their defenses will surely sound exciting and interesting: some will boast about how they have cut off their cravings for meat by eating only fish; One will boast that he has never touched a penny in decades, only scratched it in thick gloves.

These clergymen certainly could not be forgiven by Jesus after death, but they were scary when they were alive, because they held a lot of privacy in their hands, and they always revealed it to each other when they were drunk.

Soros said that only when the tide is low can you know who is swimming naked, and you can only see the truth when there is trouble.

A person who can only share wealth but not share adversity may be as brilliant as a rainbow, but when you need him (her), you will find that it is just an invisible phantom.

Erasmus's book was listed as a banned book by the Catholic Church, burned and forbidden to be read, but still circulated in private, maybe in manuscripts, maybe published by underground presses, Venice is a free city, not just The Jews print books here, and even these heretics have to be printed.

As a homosexual, he criticized the church for preaching not love, but violence. Their only weapon should be the Holy Spirit, but while they wield it in a big way, they issued a large number of prohibitions, condemned this person, warned that person, and excommunicated people. Besides, they were like angry War on those who oppose it like a bull.

The seafood in Venice is not all wild, but also farmed, and there are around these two islands.

The purpose of Americans introducing Asian carp to the Great Lakes is to pollute the water, and now it is also flooding.

There are now more foreign people of color in France than natives. At the beginning, the purpose of politicians was to solve the demand for low-end labor.

Invasive creatures are not necessarily Asian carp, but may also be people. Venice is made up of immigrants. They all gathered to escape the war. They have experienced many things together. Many people can only leave with the rich and noble, and come to Milan. When these places develop, the remaining Venetians are loyal to the city.

Maybe there are no tourists, and they will start to live a self-sufficient farming life again, but they are fishing villages, not to mention there are so many beautiful buildings and paintings as companions, they don't feel that they are very backward and primitive.

Thanks to the bridge built by Mussolini, they have fresh water from the land. They also built a large parking lot. Tourists can also drive to Venice. Why do they have to take a huge ship to destroy the fragile lagoon? What about the environment?

Cruise ships emit sulfuric acid, that's not vinegar, and it's no joke to be doused over your head.

Now Venice is full of enemies, including those cruise companies that take tourists to the Venice Carnival, but unfortunately the Venetians have no sovereignty, because Rome's attitude is to let Venice continue to develop tourism.

It is impossible for them to agree to start banking in Venice. After all, it is the 21st century, so how can they still hold the ideas of the 15th century.

This is a large-scale human nature experiment, similar to the Marina human nature experiment. Marina Abramovich anesthetized herself, and the city of Venice cannot speak, so people can only do whatever they want.

Should I stand up and make a call for justice, or watch her sinking with the heart of a spectator?

A gay old wizard said: It is not his ability that determines a person's fate, but his choice.

Albus must have regretted teaching Voldemort, even if he hadn't really taught Tom anything.

Knowledge, like capital, is also neutral, but if knowledge is in the hands of the devil, it will create endless disasters.

I don’t know if those upper-class people sitting in the golden hall of Vienna, listening to the symphony and enjoying “civilization” know how the gorgeous ceilings above their heads come from.

tick

How could there be blood dripping from it.

On closer inspection, it turned out to be red paint, and he began to applaud the Radetsky March happily again.
