Vol 3 Chapter 39: "The rulers of Rome"

Alexander didn't intend to use the men's tricks too seriously. (Pinyin of biqiwu)
But after seeing Caesar and Constantine playing tricks one after another, he felt that there was a ready-made charm uncle Nashan different around him, which was a waste.
In this day and age, eating soft rice seems not only to be despised, but on the contrary it is regarded as an enviable shortcut to success, at least a lot of nobles for themselves, or their sons can be rich and powerful Women with territories are proud to marry.
As for whether the woman is a young girl in a boudoir or a widowed woman who is already old, nobody cares.
It doesn't matter if you can't marry such a woman, as long as you can become their lover, you can also get many benefits.
Alexander felt that Nashan was very capable of eating soft rice, and he seemed to be eating soft rice in Bohemia, so since he had already eaten one, he would probably not care about eating one more.
Caesar's banquet is very rich and even more grand. He convened this banquet in the name of congratulations on the establishment of the order meeting, so apart from the 39-person group, almost all the family members of the order meeting were attended by hundreds of people at a time. Gathered in Caesar's palace, watching this head-on feat, Caesar was quite satisfied for a while.
Although the cardinal robe of his body and the luxurious decoration of the entire banquet, exquisite food and a variety of gorgeous costumes seemed out of place, but no one showed any strangeness, it seems that he should have enjoyed this The prosperity of the world, rather than obeying the canon of being poor.
In fact, the entire Vatican can't find a person who really regards Benedict's canon as a model and a rule. The extravagance and depravity are the portrayal of this era.
When Alexander came to the Caesars Palace of Springs, he saw several women dancing around Caesar in circles. These gorgeously dressed ladies jumped and laughed loudly, while Caesar's eyes in the middle were blindfolded. Wearing a handkerchief, he reached out from time to time to try to catch the woman in front of him, which caused them to laugh and scream, and the people around the outer circle also followed the cry of them.
Alexander took off the broad-brimmed hat on his head and handed it to the servant next to him. He walked along the circle of Roman columns outside the crowd and watched until he was stopped by one person.
"Look, who is here," came a slightly sharp voice that seemed to be in the diacritic phase. Alexander looked down at the voice and saw Jeffrey staring at him under a pillar. The great hero of the Order Conference, Caesar's most loyal stray dog, why are you here, shouldn't he be supporting him by my brother, see how proud he is now. "
Jeffrey said that he looked into the crowd, but because he was short, he could only see the back of the crowd, which made him angry again, and then turned his head to stare at Alexander fiercely. It was his fault.
"Adult, do you need me to pick you up and look inside?" Alexander asked quipped, seeing Jeffrey because of his pale face, Alexander walked past him with a smile, he didn't take back the bear child Matter, even if this bear child is the pope's son.
"You dare to dare to talk to me like this!"
Behind him, Jeffrey ’s angry voice has attracted the attention of many people nearby, but Alexander did n’t look back. He felt that Jeffrey seemed to be a follower reporting for him, because as he heard his voice change Shouted, and many people nodded and smiled at him because they saw Alexander.
Caesar happened to be holding a woman who seemed to have been deliberately caught by him, and groped up and down. Hearing Jeffrey's cry, he took off his handkerchief and let go of the woman who kept screaming, and saw him coming He laughed loudly.
"I'm wondering who made my little brother angry like that. You know, although Jeffrey always loses his temper all day long, but when he is quiet, he is an angel. Let me think about what he was like when he didn't lose his temper. , "Caesar pretended to rub his head, and then said helplessly to the people around him," I forgot, I just remember that he was losing his temper except for his temper. "
There was a burst of laughter all around me, whether or not he thought the joke was funny, he couldn't help laughing either by holding his belly or covering his mouth, and the laughter was still non-stop, it seemed that he was laughing longer than anyone else. .
Jeffrey stared at Caesar far away, and he could see the irony in Caesar's gaze, which made his trembling face, as Caesar said, beautiful as an angel.
Of course, Alexander knew that Caesar did not help Jeffrey in public, not because he was helping him, but purely to humiliate Jeffrey. Even if he thought about Caesar, he would deliberately pit him, because Jeffrey He must have hated him.
But Alexander didn't care either, he hadn't planned to get along well with the bear child.
Caesar seemed to be satisfied with Alexander's attitude. He rejected the women who would continue to play the game, but gave the handkerchief to one of the women with brown hair and a little plump, obviously he was interested in this chubby woman. This surprised Alexander a little, because he remembered that the little girl of the Pogia family was very slim.
Taking Alexander's shoulders, Caesar took him to a slightly secluded corner, where a few people were already sitting on the chairs. These were influential figures in the order meeting, of which Giovanni seemed to be among them. core.
Several people seemed to be arguing about something, and Giovanni remained neutral and did not favor anyone.
Only after Caesar appeared, this circle with him as the core was a little messy.
"The French must immediately get out of Rome," an old nobleman with gray hair stood up emotionally, shaking his arms in the air in order to strengthen his tone, because his angry face also turned red and red "We can't stop Allow them to continue to ravage our city, and see what they have done since they came. The honor as a Roman noble does not allow us to sit back and watch, otherwise there is no value in our order meeting. "
"But what can we do to fight against the French?" The other person was diametrically opposed. His slightly obese body made him stand up and looked a bit difficult, but he still stood up and argued hard. "The coalition outside the city has never moved. If they fight against the French, they will only watch good things. You think it depends on how long we can fight with the French and our meeting is just to protect our own safety and property, not soldiers. "
"Willie is a businessman of plans," the old noble looked at the fat man with contempt. "What else do you have in addition to money, your honor and dignity, is it worth the five Florin"
Caesar stood with interest and listened to the argument between the two. When he saw that they couldn't help but look over to him, Caesar turned his head and asked Alexander: "So what do you think about this matter, we are The French should not be driven out of Rome "
Giovanni frowned, and Caesar looked like an arbitrator, which made him invisiblely higher than others. Giovanni did n’t like Caesar ’s tricks, especially in front of him. He was even more annoyed.
"I think we should first understand why we set up this order meeting," Alexander looked around at others. He felt that it was time to make a voice. Although it still needs to rely on Caesar's power, at least in the order meeting Let others listen to his voice more "Because the French can no longer guarantee the safety of the city and all of us, since we can only arm ourselves, it can be said that the place where the Roman city is really controlled by the French is no longer More, even in those areas where the French are stationed, many nobles have already joined the order meeting, and the French have not expressed opposition but tacitly approve that they have their own guards. "Speaking of which, Alexander ’s eyes were on each Passing on the individual's face, after seeing Giovanni's playful and Caesar's smiling eyes, Alexander lowered his voice. "The current Roman city is not French, but ours. It belongs to our order meeting. Is n’t this exciting than the strongest wine? "
Several people fell into silence for a while, no one spoke, and several eyes looked at each other and asked, and gradually the look of people's original disguise appeared in their eyes.
The idea of ​​hiding from the beginning but not exposed at the moment, was torn away by Alexander at this moment. The original disguise was originally because of the few people who were arguing. The atmosphere was a bit strange because of silence.
"Maybe, I mean maybe," the fat businessman looked at the others and licked his lips. "It's really good for us to stay in Rome with the French. If you get rid of their coalition, they will enter the city. By that time ..."
By then, everyone will know what it will be like.
The Order Conference has only begun to take shape, and the power of everyone has not been stabilized. If the coalition forces entered Rome, is it necessary for the Order Conference to survive?
In other words, will the coalition allow the existence of a city power with the same power as them?
"However, it is not a good thing if the French have been staying. It may be necessary to know that the coalition will later say that we are cooperating with the French, or we should ban the order meeting." It's far away, otherwise it will be hard for us to wait for them to go. "
As the Duke of Gandia, Giovanni naturally did not need to prove anything to the coalition forces in the future, but as a member of the Order of 39, he felt the need to escape from the atmosphere that had been controlled by Alexander.
"We have the Pope's permission, which is enough," Giovanni glanced at Caesar. He knew that Caesar would support him. The people of the Pogia family would never oppose themselves in front of outsiders. "So come to us It is said that what really needs to be considered is how to make the decisions of the order meeting as soon as possible. Neither the French nor the coalition forces can oppose the authority of the Pope. "
Giovanni's words made several people show a trance, and they looked at Caesar, and when Caesar smiled and nodded silently, everyone immediately became relaxed.
Giovanni glanced at Alexander. He didn't want to show off anything, just wanted to see Alexander's frustration.
But he didn't see anything strange in Alexander's face, or it was well hidden, he thought so.
Then it seemed to have become a lot easier, and several people began to talk about how to make the order meeting play a bigger role.
Because Alexander had completely broken through that disguise before, this discussion became a real division of power.
At this time, Alexander was invisiblely squeezed out, at least in the eyes of others, his outsider got enough.
Caesar seemed unintentional to Alexander's injustice, which made Giovanni look at their eyes with playfulness.
He really wanted to know what this man who had done a great deal for Caesar found that he was eventually excluded, maybe now he just needs to give him a little kindness, and he will get his full response.
It was just that Caesar did not give Giovanni this opportunity. After the banquet officially started, he called Alexander around, and to the surprise of many people, Alexander was actually arranged for Julia Fall who arrived later. Inside the side.
Everyone knows who Julia Farne is. As the most loved mistress of Alexander VI today, not only is she not hostile by the children of the Borgia family, but also has a closer relationship with Lucrezia By the way, this has to make many people deeply admire this woman's smart wrist.
So it's not surprising that Caesar would invite Julia Farne, but it's just why Alexander was arranged to sit next to her, but it surprised many people.
Or it is because the people of the Pogia family are sitting together, and Caesar does not want to let other Romans get exposed, so that a Neapolitan takes advantage of this, many people think for a long time, and finally think it should be like this.
Although at a banquet with many people, Julia Farne showed great interest in Alexander.
But perhaps it is precisely because of her innocence that she did not let people think too much. After all, Julia Farne ’s youthful liveliness and strong curiosity are known to many people.
In fact, there are not many people who are curious about Alexander.
In the eyes of many people, Alexander is the typical adventurer of this era, perhaps from a low birth, but as long as there is a chance, he will spare no effort to climb up.
As for the fact that he seems to be the illegitimate child of Countess George Anne of Cosenza, although it has also aroused people's interest, there haven't been many people concerned since then.
After all, the host of this banquet is an illegitimate child, and his brothers, who are also illegitimate children and who are in high positions, are also present here.
During the banquet, in addition to eating and drinking, people also used a variety of topics as condiments. The theme of which is inseparable from the future planning and arrangement of the order conference ~ EbookFREE.me ~ In this way, the French have become people talking about it. Laughing, even Alexander's battle in the Bruini Valley was taken out again as a French story.
When the banquet ended, Giovanni originally wanted to find an opportunity to talk to Alexander. He always felt that this young man should be useful.
Even if it's useless, he doesn't mind just to make Caesar angry because his doglegs betrayed him.
However, Caesar still did not give Giovanni the opportunity. After the banquet, he and Julia Farne invited Alexander to visit the Portico Palace, and the reason is very good: Queen Joanna who is visiting the Portico Palace is about to meet Alexander.
Alexander gladly accepted the invitation, and then he sent someone to Marino Palace to tell Nashan: "The opportunity is coming."
However, on the way, Caesar suddenly asked Alexander who walked side by side: "Tell me what you want, I can see your contempt for those Romans, I even think you can't look down on Giovanni, so tell What the do you want? "
