Chapter 1679 Flattery

After returning from the market, Adams was so angry that he lay in bed for two days. I'm in my eighties, and I haven't seen any big storms, but the current situation in Mexico is too unexpected.

It is actually very common to say that leader worship is actually very common. Britain likes to hang portraits of queens. Many European countries also have royal families, especially in Japan and Thailand. It is even a trend to hang a picture of Guevara in Latin America.

But..., a group of Mexicans don't hang the Virgin Mary but a Chinese. What made Adams most unbearable was the way the locals took it for granted. They even asked, "If you don't hang the portrait of His Majesty the Emperor, whose portrait is more worthy of hanging?" '

Although he was extremely upset, His Majesty Adams finally explained this to himself: This should be the administrative order that the Aurora Legion forced to consolidate its rule. Maybe Victor Hugo asked every Mexican family to hang his own portrait?

Dictators are so despicable and shameless!

Adams put aside the anger and disgust in his heart, and once again looked at the matter with a rational attitude. He must admit that the Aurora Legion has worked hard to control the society. It is simple, direct, and even brutally brainwashed, but it is very effective.

"Yes, this is brainwashing! But the religious needs of Mexicans will not disappear easily. There are hundreds of years of religious belief here.

People will have ideological turmoil due to short-term social changes, but the accumulation in culture will exert influence again after a long time. His Majesty Adams firmly believed in this, "So I still have to make arrangements as soon as possible. "

There are many examples of forcibly transforming society in the world, but only a handful of them have succeeded. After two days of rest, His Majesty's confidence was restored again. After much deliberation, he felt that the common people were too ignorant to conspire with them, and it would be better to visit the local religious figures.

For example, ask what is the situation of the Catholic local snake here.

Although the Mormons and the Catholic Church didn't have much to deal with, Adams decided to lower his airs and lower his face. After all, we are all religious people at any rate, and we have a common language, so we must all face the same troubles.

In order to avoid too much embarrassment, His Majesty Adams first sent someone to the largest and oldest Mexican cathedral in Mexico City to report, hoping to see the current Mexican Catholic Bishop Pumeig. Bishop Pomiger readily agreed to the meeting.

The place where the two met was the Cathedral of Mexico, a classical religious building that was built in 1573 and took two hundred and fifty years to complete. Its majestic yet gorgeous Gothic style has always attracted the attention of tourists and is an important place of interest in Mexico City.

When Adams came down to the north side of Constitution Square in the city center, he got off the car and walked to the door of the cathedral. Bishop Pumeig, who was in his forties, was already there to welcome him.

"Greetings, Your Honor Adams."

"Hello, Bishop Pumeig."

The two religious people who were originally well-known and did not interfere with the river, experienced the suffering of the last days, and met across thousands of mountains and rivers. To be honest, both of them were quite emotional about this meeting, and they had a lot to say.

Walking into the cathedral, the choir in the main chapel is rehearsing hymns. Two gigantic pipe organs from the 18th century are accompanying the rehearsal, and someone is playing soothing and soft tunes on the piano.

"Ah..." His Majesty Adams let out a long sigh, he liked the ethereal and holy music. He couldn't help praising: "This is the church. Bishop Pumeig, your choir is good."

Bishop Pumeig also smiled contentedly, and amidst the laughter of the two, the melodious singing of the choir sounded, "I-Will-Follow-Him, Follow-Him-Whereever-He-May-Go."

Eh..., this song is not right.

His Majesty Adams was old enough. He had heard a lot of hymns, but this one was definitely special. This is the theme song from an old movie "Crazy Nuns".

"How do you rehearse this song?" Adams felt that there were so many hymns,

You're not good at practicing that one, but rehearsing this 'Super Flattering' anthem. This has the suspicion of 'fascinating'!

The soothing tune continued, but Bishop Pomeroy said happily: "We specially rehearsed this old song, because Victor Hugo, the head of the Legion, announced not long ago that he would become the Holy Emperor of America. Feel honored."

Ah..., aren't you rehearsing a song to God?

"We don't call the Legion Commander now, and we will directly change our name to His Majesty from now on. The State Council of the Legion issued a special document for this, requiring the cultural and educational departments to produce several programs. When Your Majesty returns from North America, we will also go to the loyal and patriotic Catholic Church." Airport welcome."

This is the song rehearsed for Victor Hugo?

The bishop laughed while talking, and Adams only thought that the other party had a problem with his mind.

"Victor Hugo casually said that he wanted to be emperor, but you actually took it seriously? I happened to be there when he yelled that sentence.

Everyone is just competing for titles, this is just a joke. Of course, his title of emperor is really scary, but is it necessary for you to flatter me like this? "

Adams almost said, 'Your bones are too soft, just for a joke, are you going to rehearse a super flattering hymn for the self-proclaimed emperor? '

Wait... His Majesty Adams suddenly felt even more terrified, and he asked again: "What did you just say? Loyal to the emperor, patriotic and Catholic? You changed all your Christian names?"

If God really exists, knowing this matter, a thunderbolt must strike all of you blasphemers to death!

At best, Bishop Pumeig shrugged slightly in embarrassment, and said with a wry smile: "Yes, we changed it. This is necessary, and the Legion forced us to change it."

"Is there no objection?"

"The dead will not object."

"Do believers all accept this nonsense?"

"They are happy." Bishop Pumeig pointed to the members of the choir, and said with a long sigh: "In the past, Victor Hugo was called the head of the legion, but his name was not famous enough. Now he is called the emperor, and the believers in the city directly The catchphrase 'Long Live Your Majesty' is ready, and the rehearsal is full of enthusiasm."

What an anecdote!

His Majesty Adams was in a daze when the church choir had finished singing. The piano sound suddenly changed from soothing and deep to cheerful and lively, and the rhythm accelerated several times under several accents.

The choir followed suit with joyful tones of 'I-Love-Him, I-Love-Him, I-Love-Him. And-Where-He-Goes, I'll-Follow, I'll-Follow. '

Pleasant singing echoed endlessly in the chapel, and the lead singer of the choir sang the joy and love in his heart in a high-pitched voice, as if there was really 'The-One' listening in front of him.

This..., this..., this..., what is this? Has Catholicism in Mexico surrendered? When Adams walked into the church, he thought that the rehearsal of this song was for the Lord, but now he realized that it was for the real "Lord".

You..., you Catholics are so shameful!

Back then, the secular kings had to be approved by the Holy See to be legal, but now you are flattering and singing hymns to the secular kings.

Do you still have a bit of transcendental taste, depraved, really depraved!

I blush for you!

Adams' expression under the crown represents his mood at the moment, disdain, contempt, sarcasm, in short, he just wants to draw a line with Bishop Pomiger - don't say you are in the religious world, you are a bunch of sycophants, I am ashamed To be with you.

Bishop Pomig also replied with a calm look: You just came here, so you don't know the situation, right? There is a kind of you who don't bow your head all the time. It depends on whether your neck is stiff or His Majesty's knife is sharper. Anyway, we've given up. 8) For more exciting novels, welcome to visit our Reading Academy
