Vol 7 Chapter 86: Vatican chaos

The city of Rome is now in chaos.
Several stone bridges leading from the Vatican to Rome have been blocked, and the Holy See has erected artillery at Fort Sant’Angelo. Although these eagle guns cannot be compared with those of large-caliber artillery, this is enough to deter already crazy mobs. .
But this is obviously not enough. Looking across the Tiber from Castel Sant’Angelo, you can see the mob breaking and smashing everywhere. The anger at the devaluation of Ladia soon turned into a scene. Pure riots and devastating destruction, many of the riverside statues were pushed down, especially Alexander VI, who was at the gate of the Tiber Bridge when he won the Pope's laurel in order to show his strength over his opponents. The marble statue on Pandris Street was even pushed down by angry people. Someone was peeing on it, and then there were countless people pouring big barrels of feces on the statue, and the smell floated across the river. The guard soldiers had to plug their noses and mouths to barely block them.
Alexander VI's reputation is like his statue, and it smells bad at this moment.
Alexander VI was sitting in the living room of the chapel. He could see the St. Peter ’s Basilica still under construction from the window in the front, which had been built since his predecessors. Every pope hoped that he could see the completion of the most prominent cathedral in Christ ’s world, but they were all disappointed.
Alexander VI also had this kind of hope, so although he was extravagant and desperate, he cared about his body very much. He hoped to live longer, and then saw the cathedral completed successfully during his term. Just like his old opponent, Old Rovere ’s uncle Sistine S. IV, if the pope would be able to make an annals in the future, his merits must be due to the construction of the Sistine Chapel during his tenure.
And what kind of reputation will you leave in history?
Alexander VI thought about it carefully, it might not be very good, he thought with a self-deprecating chuckle.
The door slammed softly, and Nomelo came in.
"What are they doing, are they negotiating to depose me?" The Pope asked without looking back at the window.
"The cardinals are holding a meeting to discuss countermeasures," Nomelo didn't answer directly. He paused a little and whispered, "Maybe you should consider leaving the Vatican temporarily, or you should perform the duty of visiting the major parishes, such as visiting the balun. West Asia, I believe your hometown will be very excited about your return. "
Alexander VI looked back at the secretary and smiled. He knew that Nomelo was hinting that he had temporarily escaped from the Vatican. Historically, there were various reasons for escaping the Pope's throne for various reasons, and there was not only one. Those predecessors used the excuses at that time. It is to perform the duties of the pope and visit various parishes.
It was just that Alexander VI did not seem to want to leave the Vatican.
"Nomelo, remember when we first arrived in Rome?" The pope stood struggling by the armrests, and he walked to the window and looked into the distance. "We were so surprised at the magnificence of the buildings here at that time. Luxury, and women who are intoxicated and addicted, at that time they vowed to one day become the master of this city, and later I paid the price of almost bankruptcy before becoming a pope, and then my sons died one by one. Here. "
Alexander VI said that he was unable to lift his finger and pointed to the chapel with the Caesar's coffin in the distance.
"There, my last hope has been shattered. In fact, from the time Giovanni died, I knew that the decline of the Borgia family had begun. How long has it been since then? 3 years, then everything will be different. By the way, Giovanni, Caesar, Lucrezia, each of them left me, or was like a passerby, and the Borgia family is no longer what it was. "
Nomelo stood aside and listened silently. He knew that this was what Alexander VI had accumulated in his heart over the past few years, but in the past he would not say this, but now he said it, which made Nomelo feel A faint restlessness.
"Now those people are thinking of ways to drive me away from the Vatican. I know that if I want to leave, it's actually very easy. They might even pay me a lot of money for the toll for this, but just leave me It ’s very likely that I wo n’t be able to come back again. What was I back then? A pope who was in exile waiting to be deposed or simply to die? "
Nomelo looked at Alexander VI silently. He knew that the Pope was right. Once he left the Vatican, his destiny was destined to be as he said, but if he remained here, just think about the city across the river. Among those already crazy people, he shuddered.
"What does Luo Weilei want?" Alexander VI's tone suddenly shook. The previous decadent weakness seemed to be swept away at this moment. He turned around and lifted the waist bar slightly and then relaxed, his face hung up. Inexplicable smile "I know he will not give up such a good opportunity, let me listen to his appetite."
After thinking about it, Nomelo finally said: "He hopes that you can publicly admit that he can solve the current troubles, and that he is appointed as the Cardinal of the Vatican."
"Oh, he's really welcome," Alexander VI chuckled, and seemed not to be angry because Old Rovere was so blatantly robbing the team to seize power. "But if he wants to get these things, then what can he pay, there must always be Only enough benefits will allow me to agree to his terms. "
"He promises you will not be ousted, and," said Nomelo, he seemed to think about the wording "and as long as you can be the pope, then your status will be guaranteed until the end."
"That means I can be the pope until the day I go to heaven or go to hell, right?" Alexander VI asked unhurriedly.
"Yes, but ..."
"But I have to surrender power," Alexander VI said for Normelo. "After all, he was willing to pay a lot of money to seek this cardinal governor, but not to be loyal to me," the pope said, turning and looking back. Outside the window "He wants me to be his puppet, just like the popes of Avignon."
"Your Majesty, what is your plan," Nomelo asked softly, "How do you want me to reply to him?"
"So what do you think I should do?" Alexander VI looked at the private secretary. "However, you suggested that I leave the Vatican before. This seems to be slightly different from Rovere's suggestion."
"Your Majesty, even if you leave the Vatican, you are still the Pope, but if you stay here, as you said, you will be a puppet," Nomelo replied carefully. "So this requires your decision."
Some of Alexander VI's bare eyebrows twisted up, and he knew it was indeed time for him to make a decision.
It's just what kind of result this decision will bring, but it is no longer clear to him now.
Alexander VI slowly turned to look at Nomelo, his eyes were empty, but he fell into Nomelo's eyes like this, but he couldn't help but feel agitated from his heart.
Nomelo knew his employer too well. He knew what kind of heart he had after this seemingly wooden face, and how good this person was at playing trickery.
So even in the face of such a dilemma, Nomelo was still not sure whether Alexander VI really had nowhere to go.
"Nomelo, if I choose to go to Pisa or Bologna at this time, is it okay?"
Inquiring about Alexander VI, Nomelo instinctively wanted to shake his head, but he suddenly realized that he had stopped this action that might bring him death.
But even so, Nomelo's face has become very ugly, he said with some difficulty: "I can propose this idea to the Cardinal for you, but ..."
"But it's hard to be allowed, isn't it," the Pope asked softly, and then he waved his hand to signal that Nomelo could leave.
Nomelo barely maintained his apparent calmness, and bowed and walked out the door.
He knew that he had just exposed himself before the Pope. He was the secretary of Alexander VI, but if even he thought that the Pope ’s request could not be allowed, would Alexander VI trust him?
Nomelo has seen too many secrets and conspiracies about this family, and Alexander VI will never allow someone who is no longer trusted to stay with him.
For the Vatican who the Pope did not want to stay in, nor did he want to be exiled to his hometown of Valencia, but proposed the idea of ​​moving to Pisa or Bologna, the Cardinals were somewhat surprised and do not know how to deal with it.
Bologna is the traditional jurisdiction of the pope, and Pisa is the territory of his daughter and granddaughter.
So it seems reasonable for the pope to move there, but everyone knows that things are obviously not that simple.
Alexander VI was the soul of the Borgia family. If he was allowed to go to Pisa, he would probably seize power from the mother and daughter of Lucrecia, and then use Pisa to re-establish an army.
By that time, perhaps it was the beginning of his revenge.
What's more, he can get help from the French.
The cardinals set their sights on the old Rovere, many people have put their chips on the most powerful person in the city of Rome, and now they are waiting for him to make a decision.
The deposed Pope.
This idea has been brewing in everyone's mind for a long time, but even if the old Luo Weilei has openly forced the palace to Alexander VI, but no one dares to publicly propose to depose the pope.
Looking at the eyes of the cardinals eager to try, old Luo Weilei secretly cursed in his heart. He knew that they were hinting that he should be the first to stand publicly. After all, it was him who finally got the benefit. , You must have the courage and obligation to stand up and openly challenge Alexander VI.
After all, even at this time, in the eyes of many people, Alexander VI is still a daunting behemoth.
"Cardinal, what do you think should be done?" Old Luo Weilei suddenly asked a "young man" who was a bit abrupt among such a group of elderly people, even though he was in his 30s.
"Are you asking me?" Mahimo seemed a little surprised, seeing the look of the cardinals, Mahimo nunnered his lips, then shrugged his shoulders. "I think maybe we should respect the opinion of the pope himself, you know. Maybe we can find a way to get the Pope ’s authorization when he is satisfied, so that the cardinal group can solve these troubles in the city of Rome. "
There was a silence in the hall. Everyone looked at Mahimo in amazement. They didn't expect him to say such a thing. The most surprised one was Old Rovere.
He did n’t know exactly how the storm of Ladia appeared, but it was true that Alexander VI supported Caesar and Roma Thesia, but as the spokesperson of Alexander in the Holy See, Mahimo suddenly turned Supporting the pope, this made old Luo Weilei immediately vigilant after the accident.
Old Rovere secretly traced Mahimo ’s intentions. He could n’t think of any benefit to Alexander VI if he moved to Pisa or Bologna. After all, today ’s Roman Thesia and the French face a temporary confrontation, but a war is always at any time. Will erupt.
At this time, the attitude of a pope is likely to play a crucial role at certain times.
Old Luo Weilei's face was uncertain, he wanted to find out what happened in it, which he didn't know, but just as he was about to speak again, a servant hurried into the hall.
"Adult, in the city ~ in the city ~" The sweaty servant dropped a heel on the ground because of tension, but he didn't care about the broken knee and climbed up towards the semi-circular staircase hall "Army Enter the city of Rome! "
"What are you talking about? Whose army?" Old Rovere suddenly felt a little uncomfortable. He hurried down the steps of the pulpit and grabbed the gasping attendant and asked anxiously.
"Naples army, they have entered the city!"
There was a cry of exclamation around him, and an old Roveray's face was unbelievable.
The reason why he made Constantine the commander of the Pope ’s army at this time ~ EbookFREE.me ~ did not hesitate to trade privately with Alexander VI directly because he knew that although he defeated the Pope ’s army and even killed Caesar, Naples The Queen did not dare to easily enter Rome, because if that means she will be targeted.
No one would tolerate a king who controlled the Vatican, even Charles VIII, who had entered the Rome with enthusiasm, eventually fell into an enemy on all sides, and ended in fate.
Even the arrogant Gonzalo who left Rome quickly after entering Rome as a winner, because he deeply understood that Rome is a city that is difficult to enter but difficult to go out.
But this is it, the Queen of Naples suddenly entered the city of Rome? !
Old Loveley paused in amazement, then he suddenly turned to look at Mahimo who was not far away!
There, Mahimo was facing him with a smiley face, which seemed strange.
