Vol 6 Chapter 31: Return home

Masimo looked nervously at the door of the Sistine Chapel, and only then did he suddenly understand why Alexander once said he could not be another Savonarola.
Savonarola is probably a person who can truly abandon worldly interests for his faith. When Alexander VI gave him high officials to win him, Savonarola responded with bitter taunts instead of like him. Unhappy mood awaits the result.
It can be said that Savonarola is different from many people. He is really giving everything for what he believes in.
Thinking of this, Mahimo touched the rosary in his hand ashamedly. This was found in his room in Savonarola. The rosary was very valuable, but it did not reach the point of high value. This should be some kind of Jean Vonolola is a gift from people who value it very much, because the rosary is formally packed in a box, and there is a short, unsigned letter underneath.
The side door of the church slowly opened with the muffled sound. The main door of the Sistine Chapel is normally closed except for various festivals and major ceremonies. Even the side door is often fully opened when a cardinal meeting is to be held. Usually, only half of it is opened.
Seeing the door open, Mahimo could not help but take a slight step forward, and then he immediately reminded himself to calm down, no matter how the result is from now on, he will surely become the object of attention of others, so he will be more careful in future actions.
A large piece of red appeared on the steps of the Sistine Chapel like a moonlight from a woman, and it kept flowing.
Unlike other places, the cardinals who came out of the Sistine Chapel tended to be the ones with lower identities who walked ahead, because they would be asked to leave the venue first when holding a cardinal meeting.
A white-haired cardinal saw Mahimo very far away. This man was not long ago selected as the archbishop of the cardinal from the Catalonia region. Although he is almost half-township with the pope, Alexander 6 Shi doesn't seem to care much about this newly-incarnated cardinal.
Seeing Masimo, who was barely covering his face, Catalonia smiled quite understandingly, thinking about how he was so excited when he heard that he might become a cardinal, he almost fell off his bed at night and fell off the bed. With his neck broken, the cardinal felt that Mahimo's performance was calm enough.
Bishops of Romagna and the Tuscan provinces, this is a heavy duty that can definitely turn a man who regards fame and fortune as a dwarf, and can be said to be a stepping stone for paving the way for a cardinal in the future. It seemed even more sympathetic to think of Cardinal looking at Mahimo.
It ’s better to have someone behind him. Cardinal Catalonia took the initiative to go up and say hello to Mahimo. Although it can be seen from the look of the other party, Mahimo was not familiar with him, but he decided to ignore this little thing. Regardless of.
When the cardinal opened his mouth with a little enthusiasm, the people nearby were a little surprised by this scene. They were almost surprised that the cardinal was so condescending and a monastery, but the cardinal himself turned a blind eye to those strange eyes. Sneered at the contempt for others.
For the scene of the appointment of Giovanni de Medici proposed by Giovanni de Medici at the cardinal meeting, and then immediately supported by the old Rovere, the appointment of Mahimo as the bishop of the provincial capital, the Catalan cardinal can say that The Steen church is still in front of him, so he clearly knows that this person should be the kind of person with a big backer. Although this talent has just passed the appointment of the bishop, but it may be only a few years before becoming a cardinal. , Maybe even earlier, and this person is still so young, as long as he or his backers have no surprises in the days to come, it is not difficult to imagine that this person will become a hot figure in the Vatican after a while .
Make strong friends and try to make these people your own allies. This is what everyone in and out of the Vatican is doing. Cardinal Catalonia does n’t think it ’s blameworthy. .
"If I congratulate you now, it is a little offending and rude. After all, this is a very important moment for Bishop Rongshengdu. It should be announced by someone who is more important to you," the cardinal first expressed his favor, and then Cleverly led the topic to the big men he really wanted to meet.
He didn't dare to count too much on Old Rovere, but Giovanni de Medici could still make friends with him. If he could become a friend with Old Rovere through Mahimo or Medici, it would be good for him in the Vatican. The situation is just too helpful.
Mahimo didn't immediately answer this remark, he was still a little dazed by the excitement, or that he really wanted to see not Medici or Old Rovere at this time, but Alexander.
Suddenly high, Mahimo was a little dazed and frightened. He didn't know how to behave so that he wouldn't make people feel uncomfortable, which reminded him of Alexander, but Alexander was not in Rome at this time.
Mahimo looked forward in a panic. When he saw the old Rovere in the red hat because of his tall figure, he quickly nodded to the cardinal around him, and then immediately greeted him.
The cardinals silently looked at the freshly-made bishop. They knew that this man should have been launched by the Earl of Montina, just as every cardinal has different forces, although Mahi Mo was just promoted to Bishop, but the man behind him could not be ignored.
Mahimo respectfully saluted Old Rovere, and then paid tribute to Giovanni de Medici, who was not far away. He said that he was more grateful to Giovanni in his mind, because in his opinion The people of the Medici family first reached out to seek this position for him.
"Everything is God's arrangement, don't forget your duties." Old Rowley said indifferently. He really saw too much of this kind of thing, and this monk was just a trivial little person in his long life. Interlude, at least now this person is still a small person, as for when he is full of power and power, perhaps the old Luo Weilei has realized his dream.
Relative to old Rovere ’s indifference, Giovanni de Medici appeared to be more intimate. He whispered congratulations to Mahimo who was promoted to the bishop, and then seemed to casually invite him to invite Alexander to his little beauty. The Palace is a guest.
For the obvious draw of Giovanni, the old Rovere said nothing. For him, the relationship between the Rovere family and Alexander has now changed. As long as you think about the suggestions made by Alexander before, the old Rovere feels If all that is really achieved, then the relationship between Rovere and Gombrane has another meaning.
By that time, the two families will become inseparable due to the entanglement of interests, so that in Old Rovere's imagination, this relationship may continue for many generations, and even in the end, the two families may become one.
Of course, these are too far away, but because of such self-confidence, the old Rovires did not care about the openness of the Medicis.
It's just that when I heard that Alexander was not in Rome now, the old Rovere's look was a little unpleasant.
Where can he go, does that have mistresses elsewhere?
This was the first thought of Old Rovere's heart, but after listening to Mahimo that Lord Earl returned to Naples, Old Rovere was stunned first, and then a rare smile hung on the corner of his mouth.
In the Portico Palace, although Lucrezia's expression was annoyed, Alexander VI was also smiling, and his smile was brighter and more proud than Old Rovere.
"Don't care about these, you will be together for a long time, maybe one day you will get to the point where you are both bored, and then you may still envy such a good time now."
The pope groped for his idea while absently enlightening his daughter.
"But he is back to Naples," Lucrezia said angrily. "If I can, I would even like him to return to Montina."
"Oh, why is that?" Alexander VI casually asked, "Alexander should be visiting his family. It is normal to know that he has been out for many years. It is normal to go back to see his family. Does he have a mistress in Naples, If it ’s like that, it ’s okay, he should have forgotten that woman for so long. "
"Father, don't you think he might have gone back to discuss marriage with his uncle Count Modillo?"
The smile on Alexander VI's face slowly disappeared, as Lucrezia said.
Whether Alexander is going home to find an adult to discuss the marriage period, he does not care at all. The Pope cares about the exciting plan that Alexander just proposed.
The coinage right, and it is the Empire coinage right seized from the Fugel family.
Although Ladia, based on the Pope ’s credit, has slowly been promoted in the Roman area, even arrogance such as Alexander VI has to admit that the coinage right granted by him is still insignificant compared to the Empire ’s coinage right. some.
This is not only a matter of geographical size, but also a matter of power struggle between the secular and the Holy See.
In addition, the pope himself has to admit that his credit is obviously not so optimistic, although Ladia is full of quality and exquisite workmanship, but perhaps it is because his pope is too unreliable, whether in Romagna or Tuscany , Southern Italy is still a farther lowland area, when local businessmen use Ladia gold coins, they are more willing to tell others that "this is cast by a free trade zone", rather than "the Pope certification, full color" if.
So if they can get the coinage right from Maximian, it means that they even firmly contained the emperor ’s vitality, and the series of blows suffered by the Fugel family apparently not only made them hurt, even Almost dying.
Kill him while he is ill!
The Pope raised his hands in favor of Alexander's suggestion to seize the empire's coinage right from the Fugels' family. However, it later involved the Rowley family, which made Alexander VI somewhat dissatisfied.
Now when my daughter said that Alexander might return to Naples to discuss the marriage period, the pope could not help but wonder.
"Dear tell me, is Alexander good to you?" The pope asked casually.
"Of course, he loves me and our daughter very much. Father, did you know that the Julio of the Medici family proposed to let Estres and his nephew Lorenzo be engaged, but he actually said he wanted to Ask Estelles what she means. If the daughter does n’t want it, he wo n’t accept it. Is n’t it funny?

"Engaged? Pierrot's son?"
Alexander VI's face gradually lost his smile, and became a bit gloomy.
He didn't have any objection to the Medici family, but the family is now holding the old Rovere's thighs, which made Alexander VI uncomfortable.
"Does the failed Piero still want to find a backer through a family matter?" The pope whispered, then shook his head. "This should be just what the Medici brothers meant, if that Piero had this. The mind will not be driven out of the house by a group of Florentine citizens. "
"Are you saying that this family matter is unreliable?" Lucrezia couldn't help worrying about her daughter's marriage. "If so, I wouldn't agree to such a marriage."
"I mean the Medici brothers' abacus is very good," the pope sat down and watched Lukrekiya suddenly ask with a bit of curiosity. "Then what do you think of Barendi, how did she charm you?" Of Alexandria? "
Lucrecia looked at her father in amazement, as if she didn't understand what he meant.
"I mean that Luo Weilei's daughter, she is not as pretty as you, and is said to have no interest, but it seems that Alexander seems to be obsessed with her, don't you think this is a bit strange, or is she smart to know how to please the man?"
Lucrecia looked at Alexander VI in amazement, and seemed to be panicked by her father's somewhat explicit hints. She admitted that she liked to be with Alexander, especially when they were intimate, but wanted her to be tempted. And she thought it was unimaginable.
"Maybe she can really meet the needs of men," Alexander VI was still worried about this. "I think that you can also consider finding two beautiful maids, or I can arrange for you."
"Father," Lucrezia looked at the Pope in amazement. She couldn't believe her father actually encouraged her to send a woman to Alexander. "Do you really think I should do this?"
Alexander VI shrugged indifferently: "Or don't need it, you decide it yourself, but I suggest you give him a son as soon as possible, you probably haven't realized Gombray's ambitions, otherwise you will be regarded as no son The heir is anxious, but maybe everyone will know it soon. "
Listening to his father's whispering noises, Lucrezia couldn't help but be at a loss for a while.
The blue waves were undulating, the night wind was practiced, and Alexander stood on the deck watching the moon hanging in the night sky in the distance.
Naples, it has been so long since he left there, that he felt a little strange.
This time, Alexander has a lot of things to do, and the time is very urgent. It can be said that he has never felt that time is so urgent as he is now. Although there are urgency caused by the upcoming war, there are more but many now. What people have not yet realized is the arrival of another event that has a more profound meaning than the French invasion.
Da Gama ’s fleet is about to return to Lisbon. He will bring back expensive gold, ivory, spices, ceramics and fine dyes, as well as beautiful interracial female slaves.
But these are not the most important. What really shakes the whole of Europe is that he has explored a new route to the East!
The business road to the East has long been hailed as the road of wealth paved with gold. In order to seek endless opportunities from the far East, countless people have succeeded on this road, but whether it is the rise of the Ottoman Empire today, or The prosperity of the ancient Arab empire threatened the connection between Europe and the East again and again, and became a stumbling block to prevent them from obtaining wealth.
But now Da Gama is about to tell people that there is a new route to the wealthy land that Europeans dream of, which will not only bring endless wealth to Portugal, but also completely overturn the balance of power in Europe.
The stubborn little countries on the corner of the Iberian Peninsula are about to usher in their glory for more than two centuries, and the cities that have been monopolizing the trade between the Mediterranean and the East will usher in disasters.
Alexander was waiting for this time. During this time, he even calculated the arrival of that moment every day. Compared with this, he did not even pay much attention to the invasion of Louis XII.
Almost half a year ago, Alexandria sent Matthews Thiago to Sines, where Da Gama ’s home, most of his family members have been living in the port town on the edge of the Atlantic Ocean.
Alexander has a plan, and his plan may even take many years to gradually take shape, which makes him sometimes wonder if he can see even the prototype in his life, but even then he is still firm. He decided not to move, because he knew that in his era, too many things would happen, and there would be too many great people who were admired, admired, or fascinated by future generations, and he happened to be It was in this era of shining stars, he could not allow or tolerate that he was so obscurely obscured by the brilliance of the sweets of these eras.
Naples is the key to the wave of the upcoming era of new routes. As for the more distant new world, it will also have an inseparable relationship with it.
Alexander once again recalled the next plan in his heart. The time to return to Naples was not ample this time, so he had to consider all the possibilities to achieve his goal ~ EbookFREE.me ~ and the key to the whole plan was Ruosha.
According to news from France, Louis XII's fleet is about to prepare. With the arrival of hot July, the figure of the French will soon appear on the Apennine Peninsula.
Like the last invasion of Charles VIII, this time Louis XII also regarded the occupation of Naples as an important step to conquer Italy.
But unlike last time, this time Naples will face not only a powerful enemy, the French, but King Frederick of Naples will not know that he will face Louis XII, Aragon ’s Ferdinand has finally been intolerable. In the name of the heirs of the two Sicilian kingdoms, Ferdinand is watching his crown, ready to annex Naples at any time.
"Poor Frederick," Alexander said softly in a more mocking tone. "Unfortunately, your enemies are not two, and soon you will know how sad your fate is."
Alexander finished looking at the undulating sea in the distance, which was the direction of Naples.
"My lovely sister, you must not think of what kind of gift I prepared for your 20th birthday."
