As a shrewd "politician", Gregory VII was far better than his current status as a pope. He knew what he needed most and knew that regret could not make up for the mistakes he had made.

The only way is to get forgiveness and the forgiveness of the Song Dynasty mission. Only in this way can the forgiveness of the Song Dynasty emperor be obtained.

After confirming his goal, Gregory VII had a complete set of plans, and the Song Dynasty mission at the port is now completely safe.

After the waiter in red left, Yan Shu wanted to see what tricks the Pope wanted to play. After all, this was a provocation and humiliation against the Song Dynasty. If he planned to let himself go without complaint, it would be too naive, of course unless he could bring enough benefits.

Although Yan Shu set foot on the land of the Qin Dynasty for the first time, he did not know much about it. On the contrary, he did a lot of "homework" during his time at sea before he arrived.

Through the information collected by merchants and gangsters of the Song Dynasty, he roughly understood the political system of this empire and knew the difference between their dynasty and the Song Dynasty.

The difference between the two is simply incomparable, and it is not an exaggeration to say that it is a world of difference.

But Yan Shu knew that if he wanted to gain enough benefits and benefits in the Qin Dynasty, he had to understand everything about this dynasty, so he almost understood the Qin system thoroughly.

For Yan Shu, the current Great Qin State is just like the early rise of the Eastern Zhou Dynasty. Although there are many princes, lords and nobles, they all obey the emperor.

The princes' army also had to obey the emperor's orders, but there were great variables, because the timing of these armies was their lords and nobles, rather than directly serving the emperor.

So this is equivalent to the princes serving the emperor. The emperor's orders are effective for the princes but do not have such great constraints on the army.

This seemed to Yan Shu to be an incredible thing. The Qin Dynasty is different from the Han family. Even the feudal system is not like this. The nobles and lords did not appear through the emperor's feudal division, but inherited the inheritance of the inheritance.

Therefore, no matter whether the dynasty and emperor changes, whether the imperial power is higher than the ancestral power or the ancestral power is higher than the ancestral power, it has little impact on them unless the imperial power or the ancestral power violates their interests.

As for what Gregory VII wanted to do, the civil officials who had learned from Yan Shu like this could naturally see clearly.

It is nothing more than that the Catholic Church, which was originally dependent on the imperial power, wanted to expand its power, and in this way, conflicts would inevitably break out between the two sides.

After all, the Emperor Henry III of the Qin Dynasty once deposed the Pope Gregory VI who opposed him, and supported Clemeng II and was elected as the new pope, crowning himself III.

In the decades that followed, he deposed the Pope many times. In Yan Shu's view, it was obvious that Henry III had always held the right to appoint and remove bishops in Germany.

But in Yan Shu's view, such behavior is also a stupid behavior, which is simply a treatment of symptoms but not the root cause!

There is no way to fundamentally solve the threat of the power of the church to the imperial power, because now Catholicism is no longer a secular belief, but also a secular kingdom!

The size of the Pope is not static. As long as there are princes willing to vassal the Vatican, their territory will become part of the Pope, and the Pope will naturally have the right to this new territory.

You should know that these vassal states were originally vassals of the Holy Roman Empire, that is, the Frankennian dynasty. When they chose to vassal the Papal state, although the Papal state and the Frankennian dynasty were one, those with a little brain knew that this was not the case.

Even outsiders, Yan Shu, can see the disadvantages. The best way to do it is to let the imperial power control forever and make religion become eternal vassals. In this way, Catholics will not interfere with the imperial power.

In the minds of the Han people, religion cannot confront the imperial power in any way. The imperial power is supreme and above everything else. This is the foundation laid after the First Emperor unified the six kingdoms a thousand years ago.

But this idea was difficult to realize in Daqin, because the Catholic thoughts have entered everyone's mind here. Religion has been everywhere since birth, and as we grow older, faith has been engraved into their minds.

Another way is to use Hui and Islam, the emperor becomes the monarch of the dynasty and is also the leader of Hui and Islam. This is the best way.

But all this is the dilemma of the Qin Dynasty, not the Song Dynasty. Yan Shu was a court official in the Song Dynasty, not the court official in the Qin Dynasty. He didn't know what the officials thought, and he could not tell this to the young Henry IV. Unless the officials personally guided it, it would become an eternal secret.........

Although this child is pitiful, this is also the business of the Great Qin State.

The Great Qin is the name of the Chinese dynasty for the Roman Empire. This was formed by the opening of the Han Dynasty's Silk Road, which accelerated the exchange of Eastern and Western civilizations. The Han dynasties at that time believed that the Roman Empire had a high degree of civilization just like the Han Dynasty, and Rome was at the end of the trade route, so they named it "The Great Qin".

However, now, with the increasing exchanges between the two sides, the name of the Holy Roman Empire has been accurately translated, but the Song people still call her the Great Qin Kingdom.

Although Yan Shu learned about the appearance of the Qin Dynasty from the information, he did not want to participate in it. At this time, the Han civilization did not know how important it was to participate in the internal affairs of the external dynasty.

For Yan Shu, the chaotic Qin State had no effect on the Song Dynasty, and it was even beneficial rather than harmful to the Song Dynasty. A unified, complete and powerful country was not necessarily a good thing.

The mission was stationed in Civitavecchia and temporarily occupied the place. The reason for this is that there are a large number of sea ships behind the mission as a guarantee.

The merchant group that followed was not timid because of the conflict between the mission and the Holy See, nor did they hesitate, but stood firmly behind the mission.

The Han family may have internal struggles within the national dynasty, but once they leave the country, the Han family is the most united on the land of the foreign dynasty.

This is not later generations. In the eyes of the Han people, foreign dynasties are all barbarians, and no one will think of integrating into the barbarians and licking others.

Even merchants who wanted to do business with foreign dynasties were not worried that they would not be able to sell the goods in the future, because the goods from the Song Dynasty were sold well everywhere, and the people of the Qin Dynasty were no longer free from the goods from the Song Dynasty.

When night fell, the Holy See's carriage finally arrived at Civitavecchia, and when John saw Gregory VII in the carriage, his shocked expression was beyond words.
