Chapter 2475 The Heir of the Holy Roman Empire

Charlie was stunned by this discovery. He did not expect that someone could "become a god" in the Eastern Empire and became a god in the etiquette and law!

So Charlie suddenly discovered that the best way to compete for imperial power and religious power in the Holy Roman Empire is to make the other party a vassal. This is the means of the Eastern Song Empire, and gradually erode the rights of religion.

In Ren Shan's words, the emperor who controls the army and the country should be the "Son of Heaven". Although the Holy Roman Empire is not as illusory as the East, neither Jesus happened to be the Son of God!

A crazy idea kept flashing in Charlie's heart, and even he felt like he was crazy, but this might be an opportunity to spoil the Roman Empire.

He felt that this idea could bring endless rights to Henry III and make the Holy Roman Empire extremely powerful!

Charlie was not a simple man. On the contrary, as a noble and powerful man, he understood the darkness of this world and the rules of the Holy Roman Empire.

This official document actually has nothing to do with the Code, but in Charlie's view, this thing should become the code in the hands of the Holy Roman Emperor.

So he wrote the word "code" directly on the surface of the official document, and the prefix needed to be added by Henry III, who was the emperor.

This thing that can only be called a letter was carefully framed in sheepskin, and each page has a lace made of sheepskin.

There are many things above that are so bold that he himself doubts the feasibility. Of course, as a nobleman who is extremely vassal of the imperial power, Charlie knows who he is loyal to.

At present, Emperor Henry III's rights are much greater than that of the Catholic Church. No nobleman does not understand this truth, but some people support the church. Respected people must have some connection with the church, and they are also supported by the locals.

But these people were a minority after all. It is worth noting that during the period when the empire was growing, the "King of the Romans" replaced the "King of the East Frank" as the title of the uncrowned emperor elected for the first time.

This is the response of Henry IV, who ascended the throne as king in the year of age, to Pope Eliuel VII, who attempted to deny the Roman and universality of the rule of the uncrowned emperor by calling the young king "king of the Germans" or "king of the Teutonics", in order to establish the superiority of the Holy Church to the empire.

That's right, after working hard on the throne of the Holy Roman Emperor for so many years, he finally couldn't do it anymore. However, unlike Zhao Zhen, Zhao Zhen planned everything and was ready to abdicate early, but Henry III had no choice but to abdicate.

But the actual power is still in the hands of Henry III. He just let everyone know that he is still assisting his young son, and no one can touch him at all.

Like Zhao Zhen, Henry III paved the way for his son early, but he was too young. Even so, in order to ensure that he could inherit the throne, Henry III still summoned the princes and elected him in advance as his heir.

The old emperor was still there, and most people still chose to surrender. Henry III used this method to allow Henry IV to have a nominal title, Duke of Bavaria! And he also became the emperor of the Romans.

But all this seemed to be calm, but there was another crisis. Henry III's health was no longer good. Henry IV was young and was constantly suppressing religious rights. The Catholic Church began to resist.

And when Henry III launched the Crusade, the status of the Catholic Church was intentionally or unintentionally strengthened, and the actual power of religion began to expand.

This led to a fundamental problem. Rome, the pope's kingdom, began to have its own strength, allies, soldiers, allies, and economics, which posed a threat to the rule of Henry III. But at this time, Henry III's body became worse and worse.........

Charles was the nobleman who finally Henry III and one of the few nobles who truly supported Henry IV. He hoped that his family would rise in the Frankian dynasty.

So this extremely important "letter" was sent to Henry III. Unfortunately, after seeing this letter, Henry III sighed and called his son in front of the bed: "You must take this letter well. This is the future planned for me by a nobleman who finally planned for me, but I can't use it anymore. The power of the Pope is growing now, but as long as I am still alive, no one can threaten you, so you have to go to another place! Only there can you gain strength and safety!"

"Can't even the German princes and Gregory VII threaten me?"

"Of course, my child is the safest there. The Emperor of the Song Dynasty is a person who keeps his promises. As long as you arrive in the Song Dynasty and the Song Dynasty announces your identity, it means that you are sure of your identity. Do you see the Song Dynasty merchants breaking their promises?"

"No!"

"So once the Song people recognize your identity, they will send soldiers to protect you from returning to Franknia again!"

Charlie's efforts were secretly escorted to the Song Dynasty's merchant gang with the young Holy Roman Emperor. In the Holy Roman Empire, the Song Dynasty merchant gang was quite a status.

Because they brought goods and prosperity to the empire, they made great friends, not only able to become friends with the nobles, but also with ordinary people.

It is almost the safest among the merchant groups of the Song Dynasty, but not everyone can be invited to the merchant groups of the Song Dynasty. These merchant groups of the Song Dynasty seem simple, but in fact they have amazing combat power. It can even be said that they are armed to the teeth, especially the sea ship caravan, which is something that no one dares to provoke easily.

The sea ship caravan was only responsible for transporting valuable goods to arrive. Their partners were nobles of the Holy Roman Empire and senior officials of the Catholic Church. Even in the vassal states, they were of noble status.

After Henry IV quietly entered the Song people's merchant group prepared for him by his father, his safety was immediately taken over by the Song people. The elite soldiers and heavy plate armor all showed the special nature of this caravan.

But Henry III saw a man with a special identity here, a Germanic dress in the Song Dynasty official uniform!

"Dear Nick, you may not know me, but you must have heard of my name. I am your father's best friend and his envoy. My name is John, Cloze!"

"You are John!"

After hearing this name, Henry III felt relieved. Although he was young, he had extraordinary alertness and intelligence.
