Vol 6 Chapter 35: The beginning of subversion

Prince Alfred was a little excited walking around a room, he stopped sometimes, and grabbed his hair hard at this time. At this time, he was not like a prince at all, but a young man who became blind and excited because of love. people.
Speaking of which, Prince Alfred can be said to have been passionate towards Russa. Since a few years ago, he has been deeply attracted by the young daughter of the Earl of Cosenza, even if he later became his father King, and his identity has changed a lot, so that in addition to considering the possible benefits of his marriage, Prince Alfred is still persistent when considering the future inheritance law of the Kingdom of Naples. Love Ruosha.
It is foreseeable that if there was no accident, and Frederick did not find a more suitable marriage partner for his son, then this relationship of Prince Alfred is likely to be rewarded. After all, marriage is regarded as an exchange of interests Among the nobles, it is a miracle to be able to show such an infatuation.
However, the appearance of Alexander changed a lot of things at once, and now Ruosha is no longer the ignorant girl who was holding Zhang Gong but couldn't hit the target.
When the news of Countess Cosenza ’s sudden arrival in Naples came, Frederick ’s and son ’s reactions were very different. Alfred was overjoyed and immediately went to meet the sweetheart, while Frederick ’s reaction was cold. Many, if you observe carefully, you can even feel a trace of anger in the king's manner.
The Cosenza army became famous in Bucharest during the First World War. The brave grenadiers not only taught the terrible pagans fiercely, but also eliminated the devil who was said to possess Transylvania as a devil.
These records are enough to make the Cosenza army and their Countess a legendary existence. For this reason, many Neapolitans even said that even if the French came, there was a Cosenza army to protect them.
Although Frederick was a little disturbed by the unusually strong Kosenza army, he thought that they were indeed able to endure the powerful help of the French, and he was very clear about his son's infatuation. Now it seems that if he can and Cosenza's marriage is a fairly acceptable option.
It was just that Count Modillo had been implying deafness and dumbness to the king's repeated hints. Even when Frederick had to point out the topic and propose to him a marriage, Modillo did not seem to be so enthusiastic.
This made Frederick feel not only insulted but also a bit of a crisis.
He was worried that if Ruosha married someone else, whether it was a Neapolitan or a noble from another country, this would be the worst news for him.
After all, the nobles who can marry Ruosha should be able to match her regardless of their status. If they are Naples, it means the formation of an alliance that threatens the royal family, and if they are nobles from other countries, they may What happened was that Cosenza split from Naples because of Rosa's marriage.
Any possibility is what Frederick absolutely does not want to see.
Therefore, he is still very supportive of his son's pursuit of Zuosha, but Zuosha always seems to be aloof to Alfred, and with the prosperity of the free trade zone in the past two years, Zuosha seems to devote all his energy to making money No one knows how much of her current net worth is, but according to Frederick ’s conjecture, if Alfred can marry the girl, the royal financial crisis will definitely be solved.
However, the Modillo family always showed their indifference to the royal family. The last time Luo Sha returned from Bucharest, she actually returned to the territory after visiting her uncle, which made Frederick very angry, especially in the French. After the news of the imminent invasion came, Cosenza responded coldly to the King's orders to urge his troops to send out troops, but now Ruosha came to Naples suddenly, and Frederick guessed that it was not because of his order, but purely because of Modillo or Alexander's sake.
"That family are hypocritical hypocrites," Frederick said, looking at the back of the son who rushed out of the palace with his servants out of the window. "That George Anne's reputation as a wanderer is better than the most famous prostitute in Naples." To be loud, even her illegitimate child dared to give me a shit. If the royal family does not need their family ’s support, I will never promise Alfred to pursue that woman. "
Leoford, who was not far behind the king, listened to Frederick ’s complaint silently. He knew that the king was not asking him to express his opinion, but that he needed someone to listen to him.
But Frederick did not notice that Leoford behind him looked at his back, and there was only contempt in his eyes.
When Alfred arrived at the Duran Palace, Russa was talking to Count Modillo about her marriage.
Looking at the unexpected calm on the niece's face, the count vaguely felt something was wrong, but somewhat relieved.
The change of this niece surprised him too much, is it because of Alexander?
The count sometimes even thought that it was wrong to admit that Alexander was the wrong decision of Qiao Hui. Although the whole plan has been carried out according to his assumptions, there is always a possibility that things will be out of control at any time, especially It's because Alexander's power is getting stronger and he has felt that it is more and more difficult to control the young man. Now that the relationship between them has gradually become unclear, the master and slave, maybe more in cooperation , And the basis of cooperation is the crown of Castile, and there is Ruosha.
The Earl knew more about the relationship between Alexander and Rusana, saying that brothers and sisters are not brothers and sisters, and that lovers are not lovers. Do not play with fire, after all, you only have one mom in name. "
So he was not surprised by the angry Earl of Alexandria. He was even prepared to face Rusha's fierce opposition. But now that Lu Sha accepted the suggestion so calmly, the Earl was a little uneasy.
"Have you thought about it?" When the niece nodded gently, the count said, "In fact, even if you are married, you can do what you like, even with the person you like, no matter who he is, and I think This is better, and perhaps a child like this will need to inherit everything from us in the future. "
Looking at Uncle's unspoken words, Luo Sha smiled, and then her expression slowly became dignified.
"Then uncle, if I promise to marry Prince Alfred, can I make a request?"
Earl thought for a moment and nodded. He felt that he could promise all the conditions of Ruosha at this time, as long as she could promise it.
"I hope our wedding will be held immediately." Ruosha looked calm, and seemed to say nothing of her own. "It's better to be within a few days."
Hearing Rusha ’s words, the count ’s face suddenly changed, and he looked at the niece seriously, as if he wanted to determine whether it was her sincere words. When he saw only firm affirmation from Rusha ’s face, the count suddenly lowered his voice. Asked: "Tell me, how many people do you bring this time?"
"Not many. After all, Cosenza needs someone to defend," Zuosha smiled to her uncle. "So I only brought my Cosenza Grenadier."
Hearing Rusha's words, a countenance of inexplicable expression flashed quickly on Count Modillo's face. He knew that what he had always worried about had finally happened, and the situation was moving in the direction he had not expected.
Count Modillo ’s sudden request to see the king surprised some court officials. After all, the count had not asked Naples for a long time, let alone asked to see the king, but since the Count of Montina came, it seemed that Modillo The count also became active. I heard that the count had held a banquet at the Duylan Palace the night before to catch up with his nephew, but all the big names were invited.
Frederick was also surprised by Modillo's opinion, but he still summoned the count, but the place was not the main hall, and the time was deliberately delayed for a few quarters.
The king wanted the Count to understand one thing, but he still had the final say in Naples.
Modillo did not seem to care much about this. After seeing the king in accordance with the etiquette, the count immediately told Frederick an exciting news.
"You mean, Zuosha Kosenza agreed to marry Alfred?"
Frederick was very surprised to ask, when he wanted to come to Modillo's house, he must take the opportunity to make all kinds of requests at this time, and may even propose the obvious excessive condition of asking the count to be the Kingdom Palace, and Frederick has already Prepared for bargaining, the Kingdom Palace of his bargaining chip is of course the last concession, and the relative condition is that not only should the Modillo family help the royal family to repay all debts, but the trade union must also bear all defense expenses of Naples.
This is a staggering amount of expenses. Especially under the pressure of the French, Naples, which has almost fully expanded its army, has not only been unable to make ends meet, it has even become heavily indebted.
In exchange for the power of Miyazaki to get rid of debt, Frederick thought that the deal was still cost-effective.
But he did n’t expect that he would n’t wait for him to open his posture to bargain, but the other party first surrendered, which made Frederick have a good girl and had a chance to pursue a woman. Going to the city to attack the ground, I suddenly realized that the other party was an illusion of being a big man.
"So what do you want?" Frederick asked dumbly, not knowing whether it was because he doubted the Earl's sincerity, or because he had no chance to speak up.
"I hope that you can clearly support my nephew Alexander's good friend, Tuscany and Romagna bishop Mahimo become cardinals," the count said respectfully to Frederick.
Frederick looked at the count with surprise, and couldn't help but seriously consider the condition.
Apparently Alexander ’s ambitions scared Frederick somewhat. He knew that if he asked Archbishops of Naples and the bishops of the Southern Diocese to support the metropolitan bishop he had n’t even heard of by name, it meant that he was in the future. The Pope chose to stand on the side of Alexandria. Although what happened in the future is unclear, and the violation of the covenant is nothing to them at all, but he hastily declared support for a bishop. It is indeed a very important thing.
"If you can express your support, the trade union is willing to repay all your debts for you."
Modillo added another full chip and saw the king's footsteps slowly and heavy, so the Earl bowed slightly and asked to resign.
When Modillo's figure disappeared, Frederick's footsteps quickened. He hurried through the corridor, past the patio, and finally came to a very bright room.
A busy servant saw Frederick's salute immediately and then opened the door for the king.
A young man who was working at his desk bowing his head at the table heard the sound and raised his head, then immediately stood up and greeted the king with respect.
"Tell me how much I owe you." Frederick asked badly. He was not polite to this person. The only thing he showed was disgust and disdain.
"Your Majesty, are you including the money you recently borrowed for the purchase of military supplies? You know that the money has not been confirmed by the elders, or because you have a lot of debts that have not been repaid before, so the elders may be Won't agree to this loan. "
"Also count!" Frederick said viciously. "I want to know how much debt I have."
"Well, your majesty, if you must know," the man walked to the table and took out a thick account book and opened it, then he looked up at Frederick. "To date, your total debts are total It ’s 140,000 Florin, unless of course you owe money to someone I do n’t know. "
"Oh, so much?" Frederick, who heard this number, was not as thrilled or frustrated as the man guessed. On the contrary, when he heard this number, there was a smile of gloating and joy on his face, and then he Suddenly asked seriously, "That's really a lot, tell me if I can pay off your money in one lump sum, can I borrow more money from you, I mean I also borrowed this lump sum in one lump ? "
The young man looked at Frederick with a deep eye. He felt that the king's technique of putting long lines to catch big fish was too explicit, and he was even a bit suspicious of treating others as fools.
But if it is really possible to recover all the money that had been lent to him in one go, it is not bad. As for whether it will continue to borrow him, then I will say something else.
"This needs to be decided by the elders. You know that this is related to a lot of money after all, but if you can really pay off the previous debt in one lump, I think the elders will consider your repayment ability and your honorable status and nobleness. Credibility. "
Frederick smiled with satisfaction. Of course he would not believe that the other party had already trusted himself because of these few words, but if he could really pay off his previous debts, it would mean that even if he borrowed money from others And will not be refused because of the bad reputation of paying debts.
"This is very good, then please prepare for me a one-time contract to pay off all the arrears before. I know there are still many troubles, but I will pay back your money as soon as possible. Do this well. "
Listening to Frederick's unreasonable instructions, the young man nodded patiently, and at the same time he quickly took notes of the king's subsequent demands.
It wasn't until watching Frederick left the room with satisfaction that the young man took out a thick book from under the messy books on the table. He was looking at the thing when he saw the king coming in.
"'Fourteen thousand Florin paid off at once'," the young man first wrote such a line on the paper with a quill pen, and then moved the pen nib to draw a circle on this line. Is it money, or will others pay his debts? "
The young man said to turn the book forward and looked at the line of records he had just written before the king entered the door.
"According to my observation, the origin of the free trade zone is undoubtedly Naples, which is very surprising, because today the most famous and often mentioned people are Pisa, Rome, and Rotterdam, which was a blockbuster last year. These are the only places This emerging free trade zone has benefited the most, and Naples is less eye-catching than them. Only when you go deep into this city will you find that it is not only the origin of the free trade zone, but also This huge trade-based consortium has the deepest influence, because in Naples only one word can be used to describe their influence, that is, 'everywhere', and it is the half-sisters of Count Montina Sister, Countess Rosasa Kosenza of Kosenza. "
The Jewish youth Joseph Buccini closed the diary and carefully collected it. He felt that these records were obviously very precious, because these things can provide favorable and reliable evidence for the elders who determine the fate of everyone.
After all, it is not easy to borrow money from the Jews, but on the contrary, it is not so smooth for the Jews to find those debtors who are full of backers. For the Jews, it is the uncle who owes too much. Too.
So whenever there is a need to lend large sums of money, the elders are most concerned about whether or not to risk the loss of blood.
According to the current situation, they may have more and more opportunities to deal with this free trade area in the future, so Joseph Buccini firmly believes that his trip to Naples will have a future impact on how the Jews should cooperate with the count Plays a key role.
Ruosha didn't see Alexander. This is because Prince Alfred walked around her almost inseparably. Another reason was that Alexander's way of going was not suitable for her.
The house where Alexander was now meeting Sophia again, that is, Mrs. Olgala ’s mourning house in Naples, but now it is said that Mrs. Olgala has long been a forbidden man in Grogning ’s private house. It's not easy to see the beautiful beauty who once stood tall in Naples and Rome.
In order to show her taste, Mrs. Olgala once repaired the house beautifully, but now it has become a dirty third-rate prostitute, drunk and vomiting all over the place. The drunkard lay on his vomit and slept, while some impatient clients simply caught the passing woman in the yard.
Alexander was in a room on the second floor, which was barely clean, but a person sitting in a chair in the middle of the room was not so good.
The man was tied to a chair with a burlap sack on his head, and a muffled "Woo" sounded in his mouth. Obviously his mouth was blocked.
As the headgear was removed, the man first looked around in panic, then stared at the tavern boss standing in front of him and kept whining.
Barr removed the rag in the man's mouth, but immediately squeezed his mouth with his hand to prevent him from making a loud noise.
"Which Barr ~ EbookFREE.me ~ Why did you catch me?" The man asked anxiously with a vague voice.
"Honestly, it's okay to be obedient." The pub owner rudely grabbed the man's hair, forcing him to raise his head, and a sharp dagger rested on his throat. "Are you willing to obey now?"
The man immediately nodded honestly, and only then did he notice that there was a young man in the room watching him silently.
"Are you a royal tailor?" Alexander asked calmly.
"I am everyone's tailor, not just working for the palace." The man immediately noticed what might have caused him to be tied.
Alexander nodded, but he admired the man's cleverness a bit, and realized the key to the matter so quickly.
"I like tailors, I also know a very good tailor, this person even helped me change too many things."
Alexander said tapping the shoulder of the tailor's pale face, and then took the short knife in Barr's hand and cut his throat with a knife!
