Vol 4 Chapter 142: Grandma ... Grandpa? !

Julio de Medici had a lot of hope for this trip to Florence, and he took a huge risk.
He had never returned since he was forced to leave the city at the age of 16, and now standing on King ’s Hill looking at the city below, Julio could n’t help shaking with excitement.
The roof of the house looks like a wave of dark solidified waves, and the magnificent posture of the Baihua Cathedral in the distance is like a spray jumping high in the solidified seascape.
Julio certainly didn't know the romantic poem "Architecture is a solidified note", but when he stood on the top of the hill and looked down, he was still fascinated by the beauty of Florence.
"I never thought she was so beautiful," Julio said to Alexander next to him with emotion. "Count, I have to admit that I have never noticed the beauty of Florence in those years. I always thought this city was God gave it to the Medici family, so I just want to enjoy the luxury and power here. "
Alexander nodded, and he could understand what Julio meant. Obviously, only when he lost it did he know that the word precious still applies to many people.
"Priest, this city belongs to the Medici family, because she has been branded by the Medici family. Believe me this is not a compliment but a fact, so as long as you can convince the pope, I think your family will soon Come back and enjoy everything that belongs to you. "
Alexander ’s words clearly pleased Julio. He thanked Alexander for a slight bow and then excitedly asked when he would see the pope ’s personal secretary.
"Unfortunately, I can't enter the city, so if you can arrange a meeting for us, I would be very grateful," Julio said with a serious expression on his face. "The people of the Medici family know gratitude, so you You can rest assured that we will repay you for your help. "
Alexander nodded seriously. He did n’t doubt that Julio ’s words were serious, but he thought that when he knew that Alexander VI had negotiated conditions with the new government in Florence, Alexander felt that he was more sincere now, when he knew the truth. The more angry you become.
The priest sent by Nomelo really brought news that the Florence government had accepted the conditions of the Vatican.
This included Florence's willingness to accept the Pope's admonishment, and at the same time they admitted that all of Savonarola's comments on the Vatican and the Pope himself were defamatory, but these are not the most important.
What really matters is that Florence recognizes that the currency issued by the Vatican is legal and is a universal currency that can be exchanged with the popular Florin and Ducat.
Even if he knew it in advance, after seeing the secret letter from the priest, Alexander couldn't help but feel excited.
Obtaining the right to issue currency indicates that it is obvious that even in the city of Florence, it also means that a financial system of its own is gradually forming.
The right to manipulate commodities, the pricing power of the market and the right to issue currency are all the real power and dependence to rule a world.
In contrast, the swords and spears of kings and nobles only made the process of fighting for these things even more tragic and wonderful.
However, before lamenting these, Julio must first be aware of what happened. Thinking of what Julio looked like after hearing the news, Alexander was somewhat sorry for the young man.
However, this is inevitable. For Alexander, it is absolutely impossible to let go of the opportunity to issue currency in Florence, because this is also the key to tie many people with him.
No one knows what Alexander ’s ultimate goal is, and even Ruosha just vaguely thinks that he seems to have a goal that will surprise everyone.
So when they really knew that his goal would be the Castile throne, how would those people react?
Perhaps it is excitement and excitement, because it means that they have the opportunity to become one of the few who decide the destiny of a country.
But it is also possible to hesitate to stand on the side of the enemy because of fear.
Everything is possible. Alexander must be worried about this possibility. He knows that he does not have many opportunities, and sometimes many opportunities are fleeting.
Julio de Medici is only 20 years old this year. Although he grew up in a family like Medici, he is not the Leo X who has won the pope throne by playing with his wrist. He is still young and impulsive, so When he heard what happened in Florence, the look on his face was first dull, then the irresistible anger and the almost crazy rage.
"Signed an agreement? Is it the pope, he signed an agreement with those traitors?"
Julio stared at the opposite Alexander, and his eyes clearly showed fooled hatred. At this time, he was no longer the Meditzi who had just made a promise of gratitude recently, but only a young man who was angry and angry because he felt betrayed. .
"Is this all premeditated, or do you want to give me and Giovanni to those traitors?"
Looking at Julio, who was desperate, Alexander waved his hand.
"Priest, I can assure you that your safety will not be threatened. You and your brother can go anywhere, but if you want to continue to Rome, I suggest that you can get in touch with Cardinal Rovere."
"Oh, it was the nephew of Sistines IV who had murdered my father, right?" The muscles on Julio's face twisted, and his body shivered with excitement. "I forgot that he was your fiancee's father, Meidi When did the people of the Qi family become so stupid, they would think they could become friends with you. "
Alexander shook his head slightly. He knew that Julio now obviously couldn't listen to him, and, as Julio said, asking him to go to Old Rovere for help was indeed a very weird suggestion.
Julio is Lorenzo's adopted son, and his biological father is Lorenzo's brother Giuliano.
After Sistines IV ordered Sacchi and his associates to murder Giuliano, Lorenzo took Julio as an illegitimate child, and now he actually suggested that the Julio brothers surrender to the old Rovere, which sounds indeed Some are hard to accept.
But Alexander knew that his suggestion was not only acceptable, but history has also proved that he was not whimsical.
More than ten years later, the Medici family was able to recapture Florence because of the support of the old Rovere who had become the pope.
"Priest, I still personally support you, but you must know whether you can regain Florence's decision and the Pope's will, and the Pope obviously does not support you in this matter," Alexander's look became serious. "I think You must also know what the Pope ’s attitude is to anyone who tries to disobey him, so if you do n’t want to anger the Pope, make your attitude respectful.

Julio looked at Alexander indignantly. He didn't know how much of Alexander's words could be taken seriously, but now he could not care about those.
"I'm going back to Pizza, I must let Giovanni know about it as soon as possible."
Julio walked back and forth in his place, his tone was tense, and he looked like Alexander from time to time, because his fear of being imprisoned and his uneasy mood made his face difficult to look.
"I arranged for someone to send you back, and now the road is not so peaceful."
The words of Alexander reassured Julio a little, but then he seemed to think of something suspicious.
"Relax, priest, if I want to murder you, I will not tell you what happened in Florence, and even if I want, I can give you directly to the Florentine people."
The words of Alexander made Julio feel a little relieved. He looked at Alexander carefully, and after thinking about it, he finally asked: "Count, do n’t you plan to consider my suggestion again? The conflict between Borgia, maybe you think I am provoking, but the people of the Borgia family are indeed terrible. For Caesar Borgia, you completely insulted him, maybe now he does not Will retaliate, but believe me he will not give up easily. "
Julio finished looking at Alexander seriously, hoping to see something in his expression, but then he was a little disappointed.
Alexander looked calm, seeming to be unmoved by his words.
Julio sighed in disappointment. He knew that his mission had failed. Except that he was fortunate to be able to leave alive, he got nothing on this trip.
In addition to the agreement reached by the priest, the letter from the priest included Nomelo's invitation.
The Florentine government was always worried about the Montina army outside the city, and especially Sazi was more worried, because he knew better than everyone else what role Count Montina played in this riot.
It also made him more worried that Alexander might not be willing to just influence Florence from behind, but wanted to go to the front desk.
Because of this worry, he was anxious to reach an agreement with Alexander VI as soon as possible.
Julio decided to leave Florence on the same day. This trip, which was not too risky, is now dangerous. Although he has been guaranteed by Alexander, he still hopes to leave this right and wrong place as soon as possible.
"I will tell Giovanni what happened here as soon as possible, so the count will be grateful if you can arrange for someone to me away."
Julio said carefully, watching the changes in Alexander's face as much as possible while suppressing the inner tension.
His brother Piero was once imprisoned by Savonarola's followers, and if he hadn't escaped quickly, he might have been put on the gallows by the mob.
Julio didn't know if he would be worse than Piero, but he knew that if he was caught, there should be no chance of cousin's luck and he could escape.
"The priest please rest assured that it is my responsibility to protect you from going back to Pisa safely," aware of Julio's nervousness, Alexander glanced at Uliu next to me. I believe you have seen his performance on the way before. "
"Yes, your servant really impressed me. I have to admit that although he is a Moor, he should be a reliable friend."
Julio couldn't stop nodding, but the reason why he would say more, was to see Uliu's thrilling act of shaving Alexander. At this time he could only believe that Alexander's attitude towards him was at least kind.
Julio was very careful when he came. Although he didn't expect such a result, he was still very cautious, because he didn't want to arouse Alexander's resentment because of the news that he had come to see Count Montina.
But now it seems that his decision is clearly correct. As the Vatican and Florence reached an agreement, Julio's identity immediately became embarrassed. If seriously, Alexander would not oversell him to the Florentines.
Julio came to the hillside again and looked at the city below, but this time he came to say goodbye, he knew that perhaps he would not be able to see the beautiful scenery of Florence for a long time in the future, which made the young Medici ca n’t help but Some were sad.
"Do n’t be too sad about the priest, believe me you will come back someday, and the prestige of the Medici family will become higher than before, and the frustration now is just the tempering before making your family glorious." Alexander patted Julio's shoulder, but he soon found disappointed that the future pope's shoulder was so weak and sluggish.
This made Alexander wonder, wondering that the future of the Christ World will be in his brother Giovanni, that is, Leo X in the future, and then fall apart in the hands of Julio who became Clement VII.
But Alexander's words seemed to make Julio feel better in his grief. He first drew a cross in the air towards the city below the mountain, not knowing whether it was a blessing or a curse. Then he sighed and turned to look Alexander.
"Earl, I have to admit that you have puzzled me. I can feel that these words you said to me are sincere, but because of this I cannot understand why you would not help me. If it is because of the Pope, I I do n’t think you need to be embarrassed at all ... "
Speaking of where Julio stopped suddenly, he seemed to remember something that he opened his mouth slightly and wanted to speak, but he seemed to hesitate and hesitated a little, but in the end he seemed to make up his mind and made a deal to Alexander Inviting gestures, motioning him to go a little secretly with himself.
Julio's move aroused Alexander's curiosity. He didn't know what else this Medici could come up with to change everything, but he followed Julio a few steps away.
"Count, I would like to take the liberty to ask," Julio kept his voice as low as possible, seeming to be afraid of someone hearing "The child you are about to be born, of course, whether it is a boy or a girl, does that child have a marriage contract in advance? "
Alexander was stunned. He didn't expect that Julio would suddenly ask about such a thing. Although he immediately guessed something, he still thought it seemed ridiculous.
"Not yet," Alexander looked at Julio oddly.
"Oh," Julio's eyes lit up. He licked his lips and said cautiously, "My brother, Piero, the real ruler of Florence, has two children, a boy and a girl. They are Lorenzo and Clarice. Silk, Lorenzo is 8 years old and Clarice is 7 years old. "
After speaking, Julio stared at Alexander's face with a dazzling look, as if waiting for Alexander to take the following words.
Alexander looked at Julio stunnedly. He didn't expect that Julio would suddenly have such a whimsical thought.
Political Marriage ~ EbookFREE.me ~ Alexander is a little ridiculous.
But then the look on his face gradually became strange.
Not to mention Clarice de Medici, the princess of the Medici family later married the nephew of the Archbishop of Mainz, although her distinguished life was only a noble lady.
Lorenzo de Medici is completely different.
Piero, who was the son of Lorenzo II, not only restored to become the ruler of Florence, but also stabilized the position of the Medici family in Florence.
But these are still second. What really matters to Alexander is that this Lorenzo II has a daughter named Catherine.
And this Catherine is the wife of the future French King Henry II.
Is it possible that he will become the grandfather after the French King?
Alexander couldn't help but think of such a ridiculous idea.
