Vol 3 Chapter 93: In the hallway

Since the day St. Peter entered the Great Gate of Rome with the sacred mission of spreading the voice of Christ, the Holy See has produced 215 popes.
It took 800 years from being regarded as heretical and cruelly persecuted to becoming the only belief in the entire Western world, and even the crowning of the monarch.
From the emperors and monarchs who had to bow their heads before the crown of the crown representing the voice of Christ in the world, it has taken almost 1500 years for almost all of Europe to become the world of Christ.
Now Europe as a whole is bowing down in front of powerful monarchs, but these monarchs have to admit that even with their endless wealth and powerful army, they cannot ignore that little papal state.
The Vatican, which was opened in the time of the Piping Earth Contribution, has gone through more than a dozen centuries, but it is clear that although many countries have already become a piece of sand in the dust of history, the Vatican still stands, even if people view the crown 'S attitude has grown from near-blind worship to gradually becoming less sacred, but the Vatican is still the city of faith in the entire Christian world.
Even Jerusalem, which is regarded as a holy place, only appears to be more spiritually noble than that, but because of this too nobleness, Jerusalem is destined to be only the spiritual capital of people.
The Vatican has real authority.
As some have said, those monarchs ruled the flesh of the people, and the Vatican ruled their souls.
In this city, which is known to rule the souls of the entire European continent, Pope Alexander VI is now the ruler of the Vatican.
Compared with the more than 200 predecessors, Alexander VI is obviously not the most insidious one, nor the most greedy one. Even if he is carefully studied, he is not the most ridiculous one of them. In the long Vatican history of thousands of years In fact, even the pope who hates him even more is not without it.
But if we sum up all the insidiousness, greed, obscenity, and cruelty, it will be difficult to find a person who can compare with them in all aspects.
As a Spaniard, Alexander VI knew from the beginning that he was a foreigner. The Romans could even tolerate a Greek to become a pope, but they could not tolerate a Spanish, just as when his uncle, Gary III, was elected to the pope. The entire Rome even nearly rioted for this reason.
From that day on, Alexander knew that a Spaniard would never be recognized by the Romans, even if he desperately wanted to integrate himself into the city and the country, but whether it was a Florentine, Genoese, Venetian, or Naples Even the Sicilians will never accept them.
Therefore, Alexander VI always believed that only his family could truly trust.
Perhaps because of this, from the beginning, he desperately used the power of Uncle Gary III to strengthen the power of his family. Except for his family, he did not believe in anyone, and at the same time used the huge power he obtained, he lived even those The clerics of the Holy See, also known for their extravagance and insolence, could not see a decent life.
The era of Alexander VI is undoubtedly ridiculous, not to mention that almost no one will seriously follow the boring and monotonous dogmatic life of the local Dick canon, even the priests and bishops who believe that they are still keeping their duties. Their lives have also become universally described as indecent.
Because of this, a book written by a guy named Boccaccio satirizing the nobles and priests will not be circulated among the people. Among them, people who lend money everywhere and always take advantage of the mistress Note that the description of the priest who drilled into the bedroom of others is the most talked about, and even feels that it is not deep enough.
Alexander VI became the pope in such an era, and after paying a large amount of nearly bankrupt bribes to ascend to the pope's throne, the only thing he did was spare no effort to cultivate his illegitimate children.
Giovanni can be a commander in charge of the army for him, Caesar can be his helpful support in the Holy See, and Jeffrey and Lucrezia can be an important bargaining chip for his marriage to make powerful allies.
In the eyes of Alexander VI, his children are an important pillar of his protection of the Pope's throne, and it is also the foundation of the future Kingdom of the Borgia family he outlined.
So even though there are some criticisms behind people, Alexander VI did not care at all. He used all his strength to ensure that his children got the best things, and at the same time used his power to affect the entire Christ world.
Giovanni made Alexander's so-called preparation, just let him read some letters handwritten by those two copying high, these letters are undoubtedly imitating some people's handwriting, Alexander guessed that there should be Lukrezija The husband of Giovanni Sforza, but these are not important, the key is that he must remember what is written in those letters, but can not remember too clearly.
"It's because when you found these letters Pelotto Cardron Pelotto Cardron really important, you can't wait to send them to me," after reading it twice in Alexander, Joe Wani collected the letters. "All you can remember is the general content of these letters, and what the letter paper of these letters looks like, and leave it to me."
"But actually I reported the news to Caesar," Alexander said. "Do you think they will believe these letters?"
"I don't need anyone to believe. I just need someone to believe," Giovanni said disapprovingly. "Remember those letters, but don't need to remember too much, as long as they can recognize them."
This was what Giovanni had said before Alexander left the Gilpitts palace the day before. When he stood in the hallway of the side hall of the Vatican Cathedral, the words were still alive.
Remember, but do n’t remember too much. Alexander somewhat understood Giovanni ’s meaning, which gave him a deep understanding of the person ’s meticulous control of others ’thoughts.
For most people, does the vague but positive impression tend to appear more natural, and if he really can recite the contents of those letters without really looking at it, it seems a bit blunt and false, very Obviously, Giovanni not only made people carefully forge some letters, but even did not neglect even in these seats.
The hall is very quiet, most people pass by in a hurry, even people who walk together rarely talk, or even speak very quietly, seemingly mysterious.
This made Alexander think of the various conspiracy events that have emerged in this era, but I do n’t know if I can hear those mysteries that have been entangled for hundreds of years if I eavesdrop on those people. There are consequences before.
A soft footstep came, and the sound was very clear, unlike those who always seemed to deliberately cover up the sound under their feet.
The footsteps seemed a little anxious, and seemed too anxious. Alexander realized that something was wrong, and he turned around to look back, and then just saw a figure rushing towards him.
Alexander almost instinctively gave way to the side, but the man seemed to be planning to avoid in the same direction, but at his feet, he didn't take it away, and just watched the man in panic as he panicked and couldn't help reaching At the same time, he also heard a cry from the man.
This shout was actually not big, but it was too noticeable in the quiet hall. All the people passing by could not help looking at them, and even some guards who were standing far away couldn't help but look over alertly.
Then the two people inevitably bumped together.
Alexander's body was knocked back, he instinctively took a step back, and the person on the opposite couldn't help but backwards, and even hit a person walking behind him.
"What are you doing ?!" An angry voice came, and the person who was hit finally pushed the person who collided with Alexander with him forward, and at the same time yelled angrily, "What are you doing here? It ’s a sacred cathedral, not a market. "
The man who collided with Alexander hurriedly turned around. When he saw the person he had hit, he bowed his head anxiously and saluted: "Sorry, I didn't see you."
"Oh, is that the reason why you can run straight ahead?" It was an old man in a black robe. He glared coldly at the man with his head in panic when he saw his clothes. When I put on the badge, my face seemed to become more ugly. "Should I treat this as an indication to me by His Majesty the Pope?"
Hearing this, Alexander glanced curiously at the troublemaker, only to find that the man was wearing a servant suit, and the one painted on his left chest was like a badge of the Borgia family.
Once you become a priest, you must be separated from the secular family, and then dedicated to the church for life, and the original family surname must also be abandoned.
This is the most basic of Benedict ’s canon, but today no one will take it seriously. The badge of the Borgia family here is more than a secular family badge, but it represents the pope. Alexander VI.
And this guy who looks pretty good happens to be a servant of the Pogia family.
"Are you doing this by the Pope's advice, or are the people of the Borgia family deliberately humiliating me?" The old man asked angrily. "Is Ferrara so insignificant in Rome's eyes?"
The servant was obviously frightened by the old man's accusations. He just apologized with his head down, and when the old man saw Alexander standing beside him completely unmoved, the anger on his face was even more exasperated.
"It seems that I am superfluous here. I was so insulted." The old man roared angrily and turned to walk outside the hall, completely ignoring the people around him with a surprised look in their eyes.
"Oh, God, what a disaster I'm in," the servant exclaimed, and when he turned to see Alexander, who seemed to be looking at this scene funny, he held his hair in his hands in an odd tone Shouting "God I'm done!"
"It's not that you want to hit him, you can only say that you are too unlucky," Alexander could only shake his head slightly. "Are you a pope's servant?"
"Yes, I am," the young servant replied casually, and then he suddenly looked at Alexandria and asked in a somewhat expectant tone, "Are you Julius Juliant Gumbre? Are you?"
Alexander looked a little strangely at this young man about your age. This is a very handsome young man, but maybe because what happened just now was too sudden, he looked strange at this time, and then he ordered Nodded.
"Great, at least I haven't done anything wrong yet." The young man's spirit seemed to be much better all at once. He bowed slightly to Alexander. "The Duke ordered me to show you to the room."
After a little flustered, Alexander knew that this should be Giovanni.
What surprised him a little was that Alexander VI would choose to see him in the meeting room.
The seeing room of the cathedral is the place where Alexander VI summoned Cardinals and the bishops of the important parishes. Alexander knew that he was not qualified to let the Pope summon it in this place, not to mention that he was actually reporting the family affairs of Alexander VI Whether it was Giovanni Sforza ’s betrayal or Lucrezia ’s husband ’s second heart, this should not have been said in a room like the Khan.
Alexandria raised a little doubt in his heart. He followed the young servant slowly forward. When he came to the two closed doors, the servant stopped and turned and said to him: "Sir Gombray, please be here Wait here. "
Alexander nodded slightly. When the servant was about to leave, he suddenly asked, "What's your name?"
The young servant seemed a little surprised, not understanding why Alexander wanted to ask his name, but he responded respectfully with that strange accent: "My lord, my name is Peloto Cardron."
After that, the young servant bowed and turned away again.
Looking at the young man's back, Alexander opened his mouth slightly unexpectedly.
He did not expect to see this man here.
Pelotto Cardron, a legendary young servant who was very favored by Alexander VI. It is said that this servant is considered to be another favorite of Alexander because of his favor. "Evidence ~ EbookFREE.me ~ now Looking at the extraordinary appearance of this young man's typical Spanish-American boy, Alexander did not doubt that this guess was pure defamation.
But these are not the most important.
What really matters is that the young servant named Pelotto Cardron successfully put Giovanni Sforza wearing a big green hat.
According to some accounts, Lucrezia's first child should have been his birth.
Ironically, it was this man who brought himself to give Giovanni Sforza the spoils to see their common father-in-law.
Just thinking of this mouth of Alexander's mouth couldn't help but hang a silk smile, the door of the closed room slowly opened.
But a person who came out of it made Alexander slightly stunned.
"Master priest?" Looking at the person opposite, Alexander was a little surprised.
"Our lighthouse guardian." Alfonso smiled. Pelotto Cardron
