I Am Louis XIV

  Chapter 425 The Victory of Heretics and Rebellion (Part 1)

To say a disgusting word, from Carlos II, to the Bishop of Toledo, to the Queen Mother and the Duke of Don Juan, and even the sensible Lord Patinho, they have never failed the Judas of Toledo. Look in your eyes, put them in your heart.

It was the fault of Judah and their own fault - they really shouldn't forget that the name of the ancestors of Judah was Jacob, which was later changed to Hesir, which means "wrestler with God", which can be Not a scholar's name.

   It is said that this great man not only wrestled with God, but also injured his hamstring while fighting with God, which is also the reason why the Judah pulled out the hamstring when slaughtering animals.

  Jacob had twelve sons, and later migrated to Egypt and was treated favorably in the fifteenth and sixteenth dynasties. Why was this group of outsiders so graciously retained—completely different from the later generations of Judah.

That's because Judah, who was still a Semitic at that time, was a nation known for its bravery. They were hired by the Egyptian Pharaoh and served him in the army. This is the same as the barbarians in the Roman army and the Ottoman Turkish army. The Tatars in China are no different.

   Later, due to various reasons, the status of the Judahs in Egypt declined, and they almost became slaves, so under the leadership of Moses, they escaped from Egypt and settled in Palestine.

Later, the twelve tribes formed by the twelve sons of Jacob were unified into one country, and Saul, who had a strong army, became king, and when Saul was old, his successor was David — there are many people called David, but the one who is said to have killed a giant with a sling — certainly wasn’t a king who was merciful enough to ascend to the throne.

  David was followed by Solomon, who was famous in the outer and inner worlds.

To get to the bottom of it, Solomon, who can command the seventy-two demon gods, should be the ancestor of all wizards, a respectable human god, but the current inner world, especially the wizarding society, has produced a considerable gap in the era of King Arthur. , the lost history and knowledge allowed them to trace back to the era of Merlin, and King Solomon was already a character in the legend.

   In short, looking at these characters, it is clear that the Judahs were not the docile and harmless people that people in the seventeenth century and later thought they were, they were actually quite aggressive. In fact, Judah was not a pure and innocent race in terms of their ability to uphold their traditions and beliefs even in the face of expulsion, plunder, and slaughter.

   Moreover, even a lamb will struggle desperately when it sees the **** corpse of the same kind.

  The Judah of Toledo almost guessed what happened to him when he was imprisoned in his house and not allowed to go out. Bishop Toledo and others are watching. If these thirty or fifty Judas cannot quell the anger of the people, then they will continue to sacrifice more Judas, one hundred, five hundred, one thousand. …until the angry populace was too frightened to speak out.

   is like a crying child who wants a doll. In order to make him stop crying, parents keep stuffing him with candy, but if the candy is finished and the child is still chattering, then the next step is slaps and punches.

Bishop of Toledo and others will never hand over Carlos II. They have sobered up from the king's miraculous recovery, from being full of joy to anxiety and disgust. It's just that such a scandal can never happen to the king of Spain. body.

When people's cognition still retains that the son will inherit everything from the father - from the surname to the occupation, from the appearance to the character... If the people of Toledo and the whole of Spain know that their king is such a devil, they will Even the nascent crown prince is unlikely to be questioned for his virtue.

  ——

  The Jewish people of Toledo gathered quietly in a secret cellar. The people who came were all the heads of the family, all strong men. They were called by the wise, but they saw a beautiful woman.

They didn't think the wise man would be confused by a woman, but they all cast doubtful eyes, the wise man re-combed his hair, revealing his wise eyes: "I won't say more, everyone, maybe you are confused. The crimes that Christians in Toledo are betting on us, terrible crimes," he looked around. "But I swear, there will never be a single guilty person here."

"It's true." The people of Judah said that they were panicked and resentful about the sudden catastrophe, and they might not be so religious—for Christians, but even if they did not stand on the side of Christians, It won't stand on the devil's side either.

   In addition, if there are only one or two victims, how can they threaten so many people, and some are young Christians who serve the nobles in the palace.

   "So is she really a noble lady?" one of them asked.

  The wise man shook his head, he stretched out a finger and pointed to the zenith: "Think somewhere more noble."

   "My God, is it the Queen Mother, or that Austrian woman!"

  Milady laughed, and everyone's eyes fell on him: "Is this your imagination?! Poor, even if it is imagination, you dare not think about the real culprit."

   "...What do you want to say to us?" A chubby man was silent for a while and asked.

"You are made scapegoats by the Archbishop of Toledo, the Admiralty Juan Patinho, the Queen Mother Maria and the Duke of Don Juan." Milady said: "Who are they protecting? And who is so vicious Heart, such horrific means, such absurd power? Shall I go on, gentlemen, not just anyone can commit such horrific crimes - he needs to have an unshakable position, a tight-lipped Servant, like a wolf-hound wielding an arm...

   He is your king, Carlos II of Spain. "

As soon as the name    fell, there was silence in the mausoleum, the living seemed to have become dead, and only a slight clucking sounded—someone trembled until their teeth were chattering.

   They had also heard about the madness of Carlos II - it is true that the Judahs, although deeply discriminated against, were shrewd businessmen who were good at catching any information - especially against them.

They had thought before that the worst case scenario was that Carlos II would completely expel all Judah, but they did not expect that for such reasons...for such reasons...several people who had lost relatives and friends were left behind Tears came, "...Is it just for this?"

   "No way," Milady said, "even if they were to guillotine Carlos II, they would never do so for such a crime."

"But they did it, at the root, because someone exposed this ugly evil," said the still chubby Judas, twisting his robe tightly: "You are English Humans, or French?" Britain and France are both big enemies of Spain, and it is definitely something that Charles II or Louis XIV would like to see if they can shake the prestige of the Habsburgs in Spain.

"I'm French," said Milady mildly, indifferent to the dangerous stares: "Yes, I did it, but I can swear I never thought they would do it. She opened her hands helplessly: "My king is Louis XIV, and there are many Judahs in France. Have you seen our king or ministers do this? Don't say it's such a crime, even if it's smallpox, Or when diphtheria was rampant, my King sent a doctor, not an army."

  These words made the Judas present shudder. The Christian riots caused by the plague outside Toledo had caused many Judas to be burned to death... They were like being stabbed by a sharp knife.

"I am also trying to make up for my mistakes," Milady said sternly: "So here I am, gentlemen, I beseech your wise men, so that he can give me such a chance to repent and save me." She After a pause, the Judas waited without saying a word: "You and I are very lucky to have met two good boys who managed to find a fleet that can send you to the island of Palma, and wait until Palma. , you can go to Algeria, or you can go to France, as you please."

   The eyes that were cast to her were still mostly worried, not much joy: "There is an army of 1,500 people outside our block."

Although it is said that there are only about a thousand Judas left in Toledo, the thousand or so are old, young, women and children. It will be an incomparably long journey from Toledo to the port. It was easy to lead the people of Judah to escape from Egypt, not to mention that none of them could deliver ten plagues (note 1).

   "So you also bring disaster to those who will prevent you from leaving Toledo."

   "So," the vague leader of these people finally said: "You still have to use us."

   "You may not accept it," Milady said, "and then join your wife and children at the stake at the stake for All Saints' Feast for the celebration and mass."

   "This is your disaster."

   "If you want to think so," Milady put on a look of pity: "Think so, maybe the lambs in the pen think they will never be slaughtered."

The leader of the Judah was speechless, Milady's words were very mean, but they hit the nail on the head. They have all retreated to the last step and were willing to convert to Christianity, but this did not change their innate identities. See each other as pagans - and pagans, never regarded as the same kind...even as a sheep.

   "Wise man, may we hear from you," asked an older Judean.

"You can make any choice." The wise man said: "Not only that, I let you come here, and I am willing to bear everything for you. Everyone, no matter how things end, I allow you to complain, hate, Reviled and even whipped me, and put all your sorrows and pains upon me, because the same man who came out of Egypt with the descendants of Jager did the same."

   "Then, wise man, we have also decided." After a while, the leader of the Judah bowed deeply to the wise man: "We will also go out of Toledo."

   The next thing - is to determine what they are going to do and how to do it.

The reason why Milady wanted to control these Judahs was because they had been operating in Toledo for hundreds of years anyway, and they were in such a miserable situation because they were caught off guard, just like Milady. Speaking of, who would have thought that in addition to the Black Death, this kind of crime could also make Judah a scapegoat, and those high above even put on a posture of uprooting them-they endured silently in order to ask for it? A way of life, not a dead end.

With Milady's help, the Judahs hired Italians and Catalans, both of whom didn't care what their employers were, and they armed themselves with their Jewish employers. The Santo Domingo monastery launched an attack.

In later generations, people will be shocked by the grandeur of monasteries. Some people who don't know the inside story probably don't know that monasteries are sometimes richer than dukes or kings. It is not surprising that they are built like fortresses with walls, but today there are Mercenaries disguised as pilgrims sneaked in and opened the door.

  The priests and soldiers of the Inquisition rushed out, needless to say how angry they were, there were even wizards and priests among these shameless thieves! They are tit-for-tat, and those soldiers who show their might and might in ordinary times are out of luck—they are like vicious dogs rushing into the flock against unarmed civilians, but against well-trained and well-equipped mercenaries , like a vicious dog encountering a pack of wolves, completely lacking the courage and ability to resist.

The Judas and the mercenaries rushed into the "underground palace" of Carlos II desperately. Maybe some priests from the Inquisition saw it, but they didn't care much. It was already empty. Except for the torture tools, even a little finger Not left - the Archbishop's servants are still very effective.

   When they thought so, they heard several howls of horror.

   Then, accompanied by a sharp "found! Here!" cry, one after another, only wrapped in rough sackcloth, or naked bodies were dragged out like this.

   "Impossible!" an inquisition priest shouted subconsciously, "Aren't those things all burned down!"

   Milady smiled slightly after overturning a priest. Since she wanted to uncover the deeds of the Toledo Inquisition and Carlos II, how could she watch the archbishop destroy the evidence! ?

   Presiding over this matter is indeed the confidant of the Archbishop, but gathering and burning corpses is a dirty job, and he just stood from a distance and glanced at it...

   It's too easy for wizards to confuse mortals.

Note 1: Because of the hardness of his heart, Pharaoh refused to obey the repeated requests of Moses and Aaron to let the Israelites leave the land of Egypt. God instructed Moses and Aaron to perform many signs and wonders in front of Pharaoh and use the ten plagues came to Egypt.
