A smile appeared on Queen Juliana's lips. This was a solution she came up with after weighing the pros and cons, and it was also inspired by the messenger from God.
Since the Pope wants to get power, then give it to him. However, this power is not so easy to get. Then you can take this opportunity to turn the tide.
"Feilixiu, haven't you always wanted to use your full strength? I will give it to you now, but you also know clearly where my power comes from."
"You must understand that I cannot curb the power of the parliament. If you want to take power away from me, you should discuss it with the parliament."
"This..." Felicius didn't react for a moment, and didn't think about what the queen was going to do, but isn't this the fact in front of him?
Everyone knows that the Holy Empire Parliament has great power, so if you want to get in touch with the center of power, you must make the people in the parliament submit.
Or just get rid of the parliament!
For the Queen, if she wants to truly control power and take it into her own hands, then both the Pope and the Parliament must be dealt with!
At present, the Pope is still the most dangerous. After all, the public opinion and influence that the Pope controls are too great, and Her Majesty the Queen has always believed that the Pope should manage his own church well.
Instead of turning around and attacking the center of power.
"So, Her Majesty is now boldly letting me do it and letting me truly gain power?"
"Indeed, I am tired of this kind of life. Since you, as the Pope, have this idea, then you should go for it. As long as you can keep the throne for me and allow me to have a say, it will be fine."
"In the future, I hope that you, Pope, can lead our Holy Empire to become even more powerful."
“…”
Felicius fell silent. His original idea was to use some tricks to weaken Her Majesty the Queen's power in every possible way until Her Majesty the Queen had to submit to him. Only then would he feel a sense of accomplishment.
But now, Her Majesty the Queen just gave it to me like that. I didn't take it on my own initiative, it was like someone else gave it to me, and I didn't feel any sense of accomplishment at all.
It has to be said that this situation made Filixiu feel very uncomfortable and he felt like a failure.
This is really bad!
"Alright, Filixiu, I've given you all the power. You can do whatever you want. I won't stop you. Do you have anything else to say?"
Upon hearing this, Felicius sighed helplessly and had to nod and leave.
Now that he has gained power so easily, he naturally has nothing to worry about. He wants to carry out drastic reforms and put all the say in the hands of their Holy See.
To make the people of their Holy See gain more recognition and gain control of the entire Holy Empire! Then, by then, I can truly control the entire Holy Empire.
…
After Felicius left, Lu Yun and Zhao Yueyao were called to Queen Juliana's castle.
At this time, the queen had put down her crown and felt relaxed. She had been at the top of power all these years, and she thought about these things day and night.
But now that I have unloaded the heavy burden of power, I feel relaxed and don’t have to worry about any accidents.
After all, she still has to maintain her status as a queen. So what if she doesn't have power?
It's quite exciting, I have to say.
After meeting the two of them, Zhu Lina explained in detail all her plans. Lu Yun seemed to be thinking about something at this moment.
He originally thought that Her Majesty the Queen might try every means to make the Pope and the parliament confront each other, but he didn't expect that she would just let the power go.
This is really bold. The queen's power has already been reduced to a very small level, and now all power is given to the Pope.
The Pope will certainly become even more unscrupulous after this.
"I have to admit that Her Majesty the Queen's decision was very bold. She actually gave all the power to Filihu."
"I estimate that the city of Athens will be in a bloodbath for the next period of time. All those people in the parliament will be dealt with by Filius."
"Have you ever considered, Her Majesty, that after the parliament is resolved, Filihu's power will be terrifyingly great, and it will be basically impossible to take power back from him."
"So how do you deal with it?"
Hearing this, Queen Juliana smiled awkwardly, and she didn't know what to do.
She only knew that giving power to the Pope was the best solution now, nothing else, and she had to admit that this matter was indeed very risky.
"This is the best solution I can offer, but didn't the Messenger of Heaven promise me that you could get rid of the Pope when the time comes?"
"Didn't the Messenger of God say that you can use your identity to kick the Pope out?"
“…”
Lu Yun couldn't help but roll his eyes when he heard this. It turned out that he was waiting for him.
He did say this: if Felicius really couldn't control himself in the end, he would take action.
As a messenger of God, his identity is very special, even greater than that of the Pope in their church.
But now his power and the halo of his identity all come from the Pope. How to escape is a big problem.
"If you want to use my identity to get rid of the Pope, then you can only hope that one day my reputation will surpass that of Felicius."
"This way, he won't have any chance of turning things around."
"Otherwise, if Her Majesty the Queen gives all power to him, it will be like slowly boiling a frog in warm water and waiting to die. You may regret making such a decision."
Zhu Lina smiled and shook her head, "No, I don't regret making this decision. Even if your identity can't solve this matter in the end and can't take back the power, then maybe it will be easier for me as you said."
“Maybe it will really go with the flow.”
"Alas... But my wish is that the Pope and the Holy See will not interfere with the power of our Holy Empire. The Holy See should just do its job."
"That's right." Lu Yun could naturally understand the queen's desperate mentality.
If they really fail at that time, there will be nothing to regret. They can only watch the power of their Holy See grow stronger and stronger, and eventually the royal family will become a puppet or even worse than a puppet, retaining only a name.
"Mr. Envoy, what you did in the Colosseum has been known to many commoners and nobles in Athens. You are now very famous."
