Vol 6 Chapter 24: Cross the sky!

The Carolingian Palace was occupied?
When he heard the news, Caesar was obviously surprised. He first looked at the person who reported to him in amazement before turning his head to look at the father behind him.
It's just that the news didn't seem to surprise the pope, at least he didn't see anything special in his face.
It wasn't until the person who sent the letter left that the depressed Caesar finally made an angry cry. He first shouted and kicked a marble statue with a kick, then sold it a few steps and fell down after the statue fell down and walked to In front of the table, the fine ornaments on the table were swept to the ground and shattered.
Alexander VI kept silently watching Caesar vent. He seemed indifferent to what had just happened. Seeing that Caesar finally calmed down, the Pope walked over and reached out on the shoulder of his son to pat lightly.
"Father, that's why you object to me killing Gombre?" Caesar turned his head to look at the pope. His expression was full of fear and resentment, but he still hoped for an answer that would not please him.
"Why do you think Gumbre suddenly came to Rome?" Alexander VI still looked at his son patiently, and it did not seem to be dissatisfied with Caesar's recklessness. "Do you think he is a brave person who can almost sacrifice his life casually, Or you do n’t know what he did before, after all, you have been in France all the time. "
"I know he went to Bucharest," Caesar said sullenly, even in the Loire Valley castle, I have heard a lot about Bucharest, which is why Caesar has indescribable jealousy of Alexandria. The heroes of the believers, the defenders of Bucharest, and the public lover of the new Grand Duke of Wallachia, these made Caesar jealous and mad. "But what is the use of it? Is he really naive to think that he has resisted? Can the Ottomans be unscrupulous in Rome? "
"Of course he wouldn't be so naïve, knowing from his dealings with that Ashurk that he didn't take anything against pagans at all." The Pope's patience is very good, or he thinks This is a good opportunity to teach his son well. Caesar has always been too smooth. How much has he developed into an arrogant and incomparable character, which is obviously not good in Alexander VI's view, and Alexander VI will not forget In order to become a pope, he almost bankrupted him, which made him more sober to understand that success is not so simple, and Caesar obviously has gradually forgotten these, especially because this trip to France was given by Louis X. The appreciation of the second makes him even more lifeless, and it is a good thing for him to suffer a loss at this time.
"So what did you say, father?" Caesar had calmed down at this time. He sat down and looked up at the pope. From his face, he could see that he was ready to withstand further attacks.
"The exchange in Rome," Alexander VI said slowly. "We have really attached great importance to that place before, but it is not enough to look at it later. At least for the exchange we think it is too simple. For us, it ’s just the place where Gumbre used to make money. At most, he tried to control the Rome market and the price of goods. But now it seems that we have not guessed enough. The role of the exchange is far more than we think. Is much larger, especially with regard to the recent decline in copper prices, "Alexander VI shook his head as he looked at Caesar, who was puzzled. He knew that Caesar had great ambitions, but what Caesar could see compared to that of Gombray Too little, or in fact, few people can see more than that person. "You know, there are legends everywhere that the Fugger's family is in big trouble because of the falling copper price, maybe this time they may have to face the top. disaster."
Caesar looked at his father inexplicably. He did n’t know why he mentioned the Fugger family suddenly when he was talking about Gombré, but he also knew that the family was extraordinary, especially about their close relationship with the emperor. So when he heard that the Fugger family was in trouble, he was a little happy at first, but then he suddenly guessed the reason why his father told him this: "Is this also related to Gombray?"
The Pope didn't answer Caesar's words, and there was a trace of doubt on his slightly old face: "It's just that I don't understand, why is it the Carolingian Palace?"
The doubts of Alexander VI are actually the doubts of Aufrei. As the Montina army is one of the most important generals in the army, both in name and in fact, Offrei knows how much Alexander seems to value this. The place they used to live when they first arrived in Rome, but he didn't know exactly what important role the Carolingian Palace had.
In the impression of Aufrei, if there is an accident, with his strength to lead the Montina Guard, the most advantageous action should be to quickly occupy the key hub between the Vatican and the city of Rome-Castel Sant'Angelo.
This small fortress on the northwestern bank of the Tiber River is not only the gateway connecting the Vatican and the city of Rome, but also an important position that can directly deter the Holy See. Although there are only 200 people in hand, Aufrei is fully confident that as long as the Holy Angel is occupied Fort, they are equivalent to choking the Vatican's throat.
But when the impersonated messenger brought false orders and O'Freil determined that the count was indeed in trouble, he immediately ordered the Montina Guards to quickly pass through the small half of the Vatican. Quickly occupied the Carolingian Palace.
The reason Aufrei did this was because the occupation of the Carolingian Palace was a secret order given by Alexander on his way to Rome.
And in accordance with this order, after taking over the palace, Aufrei quickly dispatched people to take over all documents of everyone in the Carolingian Palace, and at the same time blocked all contact with the outside world.
The Vatican shook.
For many people who are trying to get ahead in the Vatican, the Carolingian Palace is not an ideal place to stay. There are indeed people coming and going. Almost every moment someone will come from other parts of the world, but there is almost no People will stay here for a long time. People want to be appreciated by the big people in the Sistine Chapel or the St. Peter's Basilica under construction. The Carolingian Palace is at best a mutual inquiry and newcomers to the Vatican. The door only.
Many people think so, until the Carolingian Palace is suddenly occupied and then completely blocked.
The Montina soldiers were not polite to the people in the Carolingian Palace. Although they were not punched and kicked, they were very cruel to the guards who tried to prevent them from suddenly breaking into the palace. The Montina were almost indifferent. Hesitantly chopped the guards who tried to resist to the ground. After occupying all the exits and completely blocking the palace, they stepped on the ground and began to turn over the cabinets.
No one knows what these people are doing, and after seeing the killed guards, no one dares to stop them.
But what surprised the envoys and merchants was that these rude soldiers did not seem to care much about money, although they also put a few pieces of scattered gold coins in their pockets, but they seemed to be more aware of the various things they could not understand at all. Kind of file interested.
The soldiers gathered large and small boxes of documents, leather bags, and pockets and sent them to a room vacated by the order of Aufrei. Then, following the command of the commander of the army, they began to look for those who were identified in the imprisoned crowd. People.
Such people are very easy to find, they are always dressed very brightly, and there are still a few servants around, so there is almost no need to ask, they can be found out of the crowd with just a glance.
Aufrei didn't expect to see so many documents in the Carolingian Palace, but what made him even more unexpected was that when a few people who appeared to be insignificant were brought to the front, follow them After showing their identities, O'Leary suddenly felt as if he had done something terrible.
The Vatican is a sacred place in the world of Christ, especially after Jerusalem and Constantinople have fallen behind, the Vatican has become the only spiritual sustenance.
But the Vatican is also a paradise and cradle of all kinds of conspiracies in the Christian world. Here, people are brewing conspiracies almost anytime, anywhere, and there are countless spies and spies here to inquire about news or spread rumors.
The Carolingian Palace is the paradise for all these conspiracies. Even the messengers and nobles who have been able to go deep into the Pope ’s room in the Sistine Chapel regard it as an important place to listen to the news. What ’s more important is that it is also here You can hear all kinds of incidents in other places. You can say that the Carolingian Palace is the Vatican ’s information release and intelligence relay station, but now this place is suddenly occupied by the Montina.
Many envoys and merchants from all over the world were trapped in the Carolingian Palace, including even a few special guests who deliberately hid their identities and sneaked into Rome in the name of ordinary envoys.
A man with very long hair and some obvious scars on his face stood in front of O'Freilly. His expression was arrogant, even though he was restricted in his free manners, he still had the arrogance and innateness of the unique nobles of the great aristocracy and nature to others Contempt.
Perhaps in his life there were times when he had to bow his head to others, but this obviously did not include the young officer in front of him.
"I want to get the respect and treatment I deserve, and I want to see the pope immediately," the man made his request to Aufrei with an accent with a pronounced tremolo. "And you must return it from me immediately. The documents and the things that go are very important to me. I do n’t think you want to be severely punished by the Pope for this. "
"I just hope that no one was punished by an adult for missing something," Aufrei murmured, and now he has not only vaguely understood why the Alexandria asked him to occupy the Carolingian Palace, even secretly It's a coincidence or a deliberate ponder.
Then he bowed to the person opposite: "Please forgive Lord Earl, I may not be able to meet your request, because His Majesty the Pope has not met our request yet."
The man showed a surprised look. He did n’t know where these suddenly emerged soldiers came from, but these people not only dared to launch a mutiny in the Vatican, but they also had to negotiate with the pope at their will. Men feel that these soldiers are really bold.
The occupation of the Carolingian Palace undoubtedly temporarily disconnected Rome from the outside world. Those envoys from various places were detained in the palace. Although the entire city of Rome was shocked, some of the Carolingian Palace came The news caused uproar and speculation.
One of them is that among the messengers, there is actually an important person from France, Count Garroll de Bowwicken, contemporary heir to the French Provence family.
As soon as the news spread, the city of Rome instantly fell into an uproar.
Although the Earl of Provence has been annexed more than two centuries ago, this ancient family that once established the Provence dynasty in France still has a huge impact that cannot be ignored.
Among them, Marseille, France's largest port on the Mediterranean Sea, has been under the control of this family for a long time.
But the real cause of the Roman uproar was that the Earl of Garroll de Bowwicken also served as the commander of the French Garrison in Nice.
Now, this frontline commander, who is likely to be the French invasion of Italy, actually appeared in Rome, which is too unexpected and imaginative.
After hearing this news, Caesar was also confused.
When Pedro Cardron sent Alexandria wine again, Alexander had been quiet for a while. Hearing the door ringing, he opened his eyes and first looked at the cardron who came in, and then his eyes fell on his hands. On the wine glasses in the tray.
If this is a glass of poisonous wine, then according to the legend about Cantrera, only a little is enough to kill people.
Alexander looked at Cardron, looking at the gloomy attendant, and he waved his hand to signal Cardron to bring the glass over.
"Earl, if this is the last glass of wine in your life, I hope that you are telling me what I sent you and tell me who else knows that?"
Cardron stepped closer to Alexander and said anxiously that his eyes were anxious, because the fear of the possible leakage of secrets made his nervous mouth tremble, and a pair of original, intelligent eyes flashed a complex look of unknown significance.
Alexander looked at the wine glass in front of him, and he suddenly had the urge to laugh.
Since coming to this era, it seems to have been running around every moment, even struggling desperately.
From Sicily to Naples, from the Vatican to Romagna, it seems to be fighting for survival anytime, anywhere, but in this underground cell, he has a rare moment of rest.
But now it seems that such time is still too little.
Alexander took the cup from Cardron, looked at the wine inside, and tilted his head to look at Cardron's nervous expression. He smiled slightly, raised the glass, and drank slowly.
Cadron's cheeks shuddered imperceptibly. At this time, instead, Alexander appeared to be nervous. As Alexander drank the wine in the glass, his breath gradually became thicker.
The wine glass was put down gently, and Alexander looked at Cardron.
"If this is a glass of poisonous wine, you should be relieved now, at least I have no chance to reveal your secrets," Alexander said to Cardron, who showed unwillingness on his face. "But now you have to serve me, so You can now go to His Majesty and tell him that I want to see him. "
Cardron's lips moved and he finally didn't make a sound. After taking a deep look at Alexander, he turned and walked out of the basement, but this time he didn't ask the guard at the door to lock the door.
The impact of the Montina Guards' occupation of the Carolingian Palace far exceeded Caesar's conjecture, even when he was still puzzled about the Count of Provence, already in the exchange south of Rome. Because this sudden event triggered a huge panic.
The merchants who heard the news began to sell their goods crazy because they did not know what happened, especially those who just thought that the female Grand Duke of Wallachia had received Venetian funding a few days ago. The price of the mine will no longer continue to fall. The merchants who hurried to bid to buy it were stunned after hearing the news of the mutiny of the Montina Guards, and then some clever as soon as they woke up, they immediately panicked and sold the trading list they had gotten soon In order to get out, some people even begged the exchange to prioritize their manifests in a prominent position in order to get rid of them as soon as possible.
A businessman from the north was immediately shattered because he desperately wanted to be robbed in front of others. Some people even pulled out their daggers and threatened the exchange's people to void their bills when they saw the situation was not good.
But even so, the copper price is still falling rapidly, and in the corner of the exchange, a middle-aged man wearing a fat short robe and a hard skinny leg pants and high leggings palely watched the coming Businessmen and brokers who ran while yelling loudly.
His face was ugly and terrible, and a cane made of hard rattan had already made a crunchy sound because it was pulled too hard.
A man ran over and asked anxiously to the man: "Master Gurt, what to do now, the price of copper has been falling, the price is now ..."
"I can see!" There was no longer the calm atmosphere of Gult Fuguel when he first met Alexander in Pisa. When he almost interrupted his follower with a low growl, he reached out and grabbed two from his pocket. Then a thick handkerchief was wiped out, and his face was wiped, but he didn't wait for his panic shouting from the direction of the counter in front of him, and the crowd of people gathered together again caused a fierce commotion.
"Still falling, God, still falling."
The voice of the man had appeared in a crying voice. As a close friend of the Fugel family's representative in Rome, he knew how much money Guert Fogel had smashed in to stabilize the suddenly plunged copper price. That was a sum of money. Anyone who is afraid of hearing the numbers, even more terrifying, is that the money was borrowed from the Jews in Venice.
With the efforts of Gult, the copper price has gradually stabilized. Especially with the news from the Grand Duke of Wallachia from Venice, people have begun to believe that as the situation in Wallachia and Bosnia stabilizes, The situation in Hungary will also gradually calm down. Driven by so much good news, although Gult is worried about investing so much money in risk, he is still confident that he can stabilize the copper price.
But now, because of the sudden mutiny of the Montina Guards, everything is completely messed up.
There was another uproar, and the people on the exchange saw a few signs with numbers stuck on them again. Many people in the hall kept sinking, and Gult's hands were cold at this time.
"Send someone back to Augsburg," Gult said anxiously. "Our messenger in the Carolingian Palace, let them rush back to Augsburg to report the situation here to Uncle Jacob."
"The Montina blocked the entire Carolingian palace, and now no one can get in or out." The man hurriedly said, "Let's send others back."
"Stupid!" Gult cursed angrily to the man. "Do you think it was just sending someone to report back the news here? ~ Www.EbookFREE.me ~ Those messengers have a copy of the accounts of all our business in Rome. They can make the right decision only when those things are uncle Jacob! "
After Gulte shouted angrily, he walked steadily towards the door. Behind him, the man heard the younger master of the Fugel family babbling, "Finished, the Fugel family is completely over, God is punishing." We are. "
When Alexander VI came to the basement, he saw Alexander staring at the empty glass in his hand.
Seeing the pope standing at the door, Alexander stood up slowly. He noticed that Alexander VI came alone, which made him shake his head slightly in his heart.
"You sent someone to occupy the Carolingian Palace?" The Pope frowned at Alexander. "Do you know what kind of trouble this will cause?"
"Of course I know, but all this is necessary," Alexander walked to the pope, and when he walked in front of the pope, he bowed respectfully. "Your Majesty, is everything going well?"
"Very smooth," the pope raised his arms around Alexander's shoulders and hugged him in his arms. "My child, we succeeded."
