Chapter 50 Judah 1
"Your Highness, some Jewish elders are visiting. Do you want to meet them?" Yannick was "painting" in the garden in the afternoon, and Anne came over to report.
Yannick did not stop writing the brush in his hand. "Invite them to come over." After all, many Jewish people were arrested this time, and the Jewish people would definitely come to find out what happened based on their unity.
After a while, Anne brought in several old men wearing Judas robes and skullcaps, the youngest of whom looked to be in his fifties. When he walked up to him, the old man standing at the front saluted him. "Salute to you, Your Majesty Yannick. I am Elder Bloom of the Judah Association. Thank you very much for taking time out of your busy schedule to meet with us."
Yannick waved the brush in his hand and smiled. "Elder Broome, you are not laughing at me, are you? I seem to be very busy right now?"
Bloom shook his head quickly. "Don't dare. It seems to me that the horse painted by His Highness has both the shapes in Western paintings and the freehand brushwork in traditional Eastern paintings. It combines the best of Chinese and Western paintings in one furnace. The brushwork is smooth and the form and spirit are complete. It can be said that it is A masterpiece." This is not just flattery, he is also deeply interested in art.
It's really nice to listen to other people's flattery. It's no wonder that the ancient emperors easily trusted the traitorous ministers who flattered them but did not like to pay attention to the loyal ministers who spoke out and gave advice.
Imagine that in real life, when someone sees you, he will say: Oh, you are so handsome again. Your new hairstyle looks great and it goes very well with your clothes and shoes. It’s so cool~. The other one started to yell at me when they met: Damn, you’re so fat and you’re still eating! Also, your hair style looks like shit! The clothes and shoes are so ugly! It would be considered a light thing not to kill the one at the back.
But Yannick has not yet gone to the point where a few flattery words have gone to his head. "You don't have to flatter me, Elder Bloom. I know why you are here. But I would like to ask whether you are a reformist or a conservative in the Judean Church?"
The Reformed Judeans are also called "enlightened" or "progressive" Judeans. It originated in Germany in the 1820s and later developed in the United States. It advocates abandoning all practices that have caused the isolation of the Judah people from the rest of the world; it believes that there is no unchanging truth; all truth must be tested by reason; it advocates reforming the Judah religious rituals according to the Christian model. During worship, men and women should not sit separately, and men should not sit separately during worship. There is no need to wear a small hat to cover your head, and you should pray silently or as quietly as possible.
The Reformists were opposed by the majority of Jewish believers in Germany and were even less popular among Jews in Eastern Europe, but they were developing rapidly in the United States. In 1885, a program of faith was adopted, in which Chapter 5 announced the abandonment of various dietary taboos inherited by Moses and Rabbis, as well as clothing and customs that were outdated Members of a religion, no other relationship.
The conservative Judeans are actually an enlightened sect between the orthodox and reformist sects. They emerged in Germany in the mid-19th century. It advocates "coordinating Jewish human religion and modern science" and establishing righteousness on earth. It does not insist on taking the Five Classics as eternal truth and believes that the meaning of religion lies in understanding and practicing its spirit.
However, conservatives attach great importance to the symbolic meaning of religious ceremonies and insist that male infants should be circumcised, observe dietary taboos, observe various festivals, pray before meals, give thanks after meals, wear hats during worship, etc. Conservatives attach special importance to integrating Jewish religion with Jewish culture and the Jewish nation, and support Jewish Zionism from a cultural perspective. After World War II, it developed rapidly in North America.
As for the orthodox, they believe that among the 613 regulations taught by the Jews, there can be no less or more than one, otherwise, according to the Talmud, it is heresy. This guy is simply a living extremist and has the potential to be a KB element.
Elder Bloom thought for a while and said seriously. "Well, I'm considered a reformist."
Yannick put down the brush in his hand, turned to Elder Bloom, and said with a serious face. "Since I am a reformist, I will speak frankly. I remember that there were only about 600,000 or 700,000 Jews in Germany a few years ago. At that time, someone suggested to my grandfather that you should all be deported.
But our neighboring countries don’t like you Jews very much, so where will you send them? At that time, I happened to be in the Soviet Union to discuss business, and some people said that they would take this opportunity to drive all of you to the Soviet Union.
Maybe we Germans should hate you Judahs more than other nations. Elder Broome, you must have heard of the "Legend of a knife stabbing someone in the back" that was popular a few years ago, right? "
After the war, many people still believed that Germany was not truly defeated in World War I and that it should have been the victor.
After all, German soldiers broke through the French defense lines and headed straight for Paris.
“During the war, some of your Jewish entrepreneurs produced a batch of substandard guns and put them into use in order to gain profits, causing many of our soldiers to lose their lives in vain.
You also organized strikes from time to time. There were no guns or bullets on the battlefield ahead, and you had to retreat even after winning the battle (which can be said to be quite cowardly). Then the international community did not want to fight anymore and wanted to end this war (it is estimated that the Jews should account for a large leading force). The international community promised Germany that as long as we voluntarily admit defeat, the war would be over, and they would compensate us and not embarrass us. .
The results of it? In desperation, His Majesty the Emperor endured great humiliation and signed the instrument of surrender. "Then we were abused in various ways, and the German people were confused. Why did we become a defeated country after winning the war? It was so shameful. After analyzing the reasons, we came to the conclusion that we were betrayed by the Jews and deceived by the international community.
"How can this be described as betrayal? When the whole world almost didn't look good on you Jewish people, we Germany gave you citizenship and gave the Jewish people all the rights as citizens. But you repay us like this. The critical moment is at A stab in the back. How similar is this to the story of Judas?!”
Snapped! The brush in Yannick's hand was crushed, and several Jewish elders behind Bloom were shocked. They felt the murderous intent emanating from Yannick's eyes, and thought that they would be dragged down and shot randomly in the next moment.
"Your Highness..." Elder Broome took out his handkerchief and wiped the sweat from his face.
Yannick waved his hand to interrupt him. “No wonder many people say that you Jewish people are greedy parasites who are greedy for wealth and have no sense of honor or morality.
There is a saying in the Ming Dynasty that "money can make the devil grind the mill", but there is also "good will be rewarded with good, evil will be rewarded with evil; if it is not repaid, the time has not come yet". The fate of those people last night really fulfilled this sentence. Doesn’t Elder Bloom know what the people I arrested have done? "
