I Am Louis XIV

To put it disgustingly, from Carlos II, to the Archbishop of Toledo, to the Queen Mother and Duke Don Juan, and even the sensible Lord Patinho, they have never failed to treat the Judas of Toledo See it in your eyes and keep it in your heart.

This is the fault of the Judahs, as well as their own faults—they really shouldn’t forget that the ancestor of the Judahs was named Jacob, and later changed his name to Heserel, which means “he who wrestles with God.” Not a scholar's name.

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

Jager had twelve sons, who later migrated to Egypt and received preferential treatment in the 15th and 16th dynasties. Why could this group of outsiders be so kindly retained—it was completely different from the Judahs of later generations.

That's because the Judas, who were still Semites at that time, were a people known for their bravery. They were hired by the Egyptian Pharaoh to serve him in the army. This is similar to the barbarians in the Roman army and the Ottoman Turkish army The Tatars are no different.

Later, due to various reasons, the status of the Jews in Egypt declined, and they were almost reduced to slaves. So under the leadership of Moses, they escaped from Egypt and settled in Palestine.

Later, the twelve tribes formed by Jacob's twelve sons were unified into one country, and Saul, who had a powerful army, became the king. When Saul was old, his successor was David—there are many people named David, but there is only one who is said to have killed a giant with a sling—of course such a king didn't come to power because he was kind enough.

David was followed by Solomon, who was famous both in the external world and in the inner world.

In the final analysis, Solomon, who was able to control the Seventy-two Demon Gods, should be the ancestor of all wizards, a respectable god, but the current world, especially the wizard society, has produced a rather huge gap in the era of King Arthur However, the lost history and knowledge let them trace back to the time of Merlin, and King Solomon is already a figure in the legend.

In short, looking at these characters, one can see that the Jews were not a docile and harmless people as people thought in the seventeenth century and later generations, they were actually quite aggressive. In fact, judging from the fact that the Jews can stick to their traditions and beliefs even in the face of expulsion, plunder, and massacres, they are not that kind of pure and innocent race.

Moreover, even a lamb, when it sees the bloody corpses of its own kind, will struggle desperately.

The Judah of Toledo almost guessed his end when he was confined in his house and not allowed to go out. The Archbishop of Toledo and others are watching. If these thirty or fifty Judahs cannot appease the anger of the people, then they will continue to sacrifice more Judahs, one hundred, five hundred, one thousand ...until the angry people were too frightened to make a sound.

It’s like a crying child asking for a doll. In order to stop him from crying, his parents keep feeding him candy. But if the candy is finished and the child is still chattering, then the next step is slapping and kicking.

The Archbishop of Toledo and others will never hand over Carlos II. They have woken up from the miraculous recovery of the king, and have changed from being full of joy to apprehension and disgust. It's just that such a scandal must never happen to the King of Spain. body.

When people's cognition still remains that the son will inherit everything from the father - from surname to occupation, from appearance to character... If the people of Toledo and even the whole of Spain know that their king is such a devil , Even the new crown prince cannot guarantee that his virtue will be questioned.

————

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

They don't think that a wise man will be confused by a woman, but they all cast doubtful eyes. The wise man combed his hair again, revealing his wise eyes: "I won't say much, everyone, maybe you are confused What the Christians in Toledo have done to us, terrible crimes," he looked around, "but I swear there will never be a single guilty person here."

"Indeed." The people of Judah expressed that they were terrified and angry at the sudden catastrophe. They may not be so devout--for Christians, but even if they are not on the side of Christians , and will not stand on the side of the devil.

In addition, it would be fine if there were only one or two victims, how could they threaten so many people, and some were young Christians serving nobles in the court.

"Is it really a lady, then?" asked one of them.

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

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

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

"...What do you want to say to us?" A fat man asked after being silent for a while.

"The archbishop of Toledo, the Minister of the Navy Juan Patinho, the Queen Mother Maria and the Duke Don Juan are the ones who made you the scapegoat." Milady said, "Who are they protecting? And who is so vicious? Heart, such a terrible means, such absurd power? Shall I go on, gentlemen, not just anyone can commit such a terrible crime-he needs to have an unshakable position, a tight-lipped His servants are like wolfhounds with arms and fingers...

He is your king, Carlos II of Spain. "

As soon as the name came down, there was a sudden silence in the mausoleum. The living people seemed to have turned into dead people, only a slight rattling sound could be heard—someone was trembling until their teeth chattered.

They also heard about the madness of Carlos II-it is true that although the Judas are deeply discriminated against, they are astute and dexterous businessmen, and they are good at catching any news-especially if it is not good for them.

They had thought that the worst scenario would be that Carlos II would completely expel all the Jews, but they did not expect that it would be because of such a reason... such a reason... There are several people who have lost their relatives and friends Tears came down, "...is it just for this?"

"Otherwise," Milady said, "even if they want to send Carlos II to the guillotine, they will definitely not be charged with such a crime."

"But the reason why they did this is because someone exposed this ugly evil." Said the fat Judah, tightening his robe tightly: "You are the British People, or the French?" Both Britain and France were the great enemies of Spain, and it was definitely something that Charles II or Louis XIV would be happy to see if the Habsburgs' prestige in Spain could be shaken.

"I'm French," said Milady mildly, indifferent to the dangerous gazes: "Yes, I did it, but I can swear it never occurred to me that 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? Let alone such a crime, it is smallpox. Or when diphtheria is rampant, what my majesty the king sends are doctors, not troops."

These words made the Judahs present shiver. In the Christian riots caused by the plague outside Toledo, many Judahs were burned to death... It was as if they were stabbed with a sharp knife.

"I'm also trying to redeem my mistakes," Milady said seriously, "So I'm here, gentlemen, and I beg your wise men to give me such a chance to repent and save me." She said After a pause, the Judas waited without saying a word: "I and you are very lucky. I met two good boys. They managed to find a fleet that can send you to Palma Island. When Palma , you can go to Algeria, or to France, whatever you like."

The eyes cast on her are 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 Judahs staying in Toledo, this thousand or so includes old and young women and children. It will be an extremely long journey from Toledo to the port, definitely no worse than Moses. It is easy to lead the Judahs out of Egypt, not to mention that there is no one among them who can bring disasters ten times (Note 1).

"So you also have to send disasters to those who will prevent you from leaving Toledo."

"So," the looming leader of these people finally said, "you still have to use us."

"You don't have to," said Milady, "and join your wife and children at the stake on All Saints' Day for the festivities and Masses."

"This is the disaster you brought."

"If you want to think so," Milady said with a sympathetic look, "just think so, maybe the lambs in the stables also think that they will never be slaughtered."

The leader of the Jews was speechless, and Milady's words were very harsh, but hit the nail on the head. They had 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 infidels—and infidels are never considered the same...not even a sheep.

"Wise man, may we take your advice?" an older Judas asked.

"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 what the outcome of the matter, I allow you to complain, hate, Spit and even flog me, and pour all your sorrow and pain upon me, as he who brought the descendants of Jacob out of Egypt did the same."

"Then, wise man, we have also decided." After a while, the leader of the Judas bowed deeply to the wise man: "We also want to leave Toledo."

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

The reason why Milady thought of controlling these Jews was because they had been operating in Toledo for hundreds of years no matter what. They fell into such a miserable situation because they were caught off guard, just like Milady Speaking of which, who would have thought that apart from the Black Death, this kind of crime could also be used as a scapegoat for the Jews, and those high-ranking people even made a gesture of uprooting them-they silently endured it for the sake of Seeking a way out, not a way out.

With Milady's help, the Jews hired some Italians and Catalans, both of whom did not care what the religion of the hirers, and armed themselves with their Jewish employers against the The Monastery of Santo Domingo launched the attack.

In later generations, people will be shocked by the magnificence of the monastery. Some people who don't know the inside information probably don't know that the monastery is sometimes richer than the duke or the king. It is not surprising that they are built like a fortress with walls, but today there are Mercenaries sneaked in disguised as pilgrims and opened the door.

The priests and soldiers of the Inquisition rushed out, needless to say how frightened and angry they were, there were wizards and priests among these shameless thieves! They are tit for tat, and those soldiers who show off their might and power in normal times are out of luck. Soldiers are like vicious dogs meeting wolves, without the courage and ability to resist.

The Jews and mercenaries rushed into Carlos II's "underground palace" recklessly. Perhaps the priests of the Inquisition saw it, but they didn't care much. Not left - the archbishop's servant is still very effective.

While they were thinking this, they heard several horrified howls.

Then, accompanied by a sharp cry of "Found it! Here it is!", one after another, the corpses wrapped only in rough sackcloth or naked were dragged out like this.

"Impossible!" A priest of the tribunal shouted subconsciously: "Haven't those things been burned!"

After overthrowing a priest, Milady smiled slightly. Since she wanted to reveal the tricks of the Toledo Inquisition and Carlos II, how could she watch the archbishop destroy the evidence! ?

It is true that the archbishop's confidant is in charge of this matter, but restraining and burning corpses is a dirty job, and he just stood and watched from a distance...

It is so easy for wizards to confuse mortals.

Note 1: Because of his hard heart, Pharaoh refused to listen to the repeated pleas of Moses and Aaron to let the Israelites leave the land of Egypt. come down to Egypt.
