Vol 7 Chapter 129: defeat

The dinner with Ferdinand didn't end until very late. When the king left, the who had come with him discovered that Ferdinand's expression had a lingering haze. This was originally based on gags and sayings. All sorts of harmless and elegant jokes to win the master's favor also became cautious.
Ferdinand is not a tyrant, at least he never easily convicts and punishes people, and even those who have offended him, he will not easily deal with them with too harsh measures.
But if the king is really angered, his revenge is extremely cruel and ruthless. He once put the Aragonese nobles who opposed him into prison without hesitation, and it made people put his opponents in cold and wet dungeons. Here, until soaked in the waist-deep pool, the body ulcerated.
Ferdinand was tolerant but never soft-handed, which made him even more difficult to figure out. Now it seemed that the king was not in a good mood. The courtier followed carefully, knowing that Ferdinand suddenly stopped and looked over to him and asked: "Have Flamenza sent someone a report before?"
"Yes, your majesty, you asked me to put it in the back room of your living room," the Nanny replied in a low voice. As one of Ferdinand's most trusted people, this Nongchen carried more of the King's side The duties of the secretary may seem strange to others. After all, it is impossible for a jester like Castile to be so reused. "But there is nothing important above."
"Is it important sometimes depends on what role it plays," Ferdinand said slowly, in fact he himself knew that he seemed to have missed something very important, but this reminder of Alexander reminded him of Sicily. The report sent by the Governor sent him a little annoyed that he had missed such an important thing before, but now is not the time to think about it. "Go and find that report for me, I will take a good look."
The immediately nodded his head and secretly noted the King's attention to Sicily, so that the next time the Governor of Sicily sent someone to send him a letter, he would immediately submit it to the King.
After Ferdinand left, Alexander did not leave. He accompanied the Pope to a flat hill outside the Rose Horn Palace. The evening wind blew, and slightly hot air poured into the robe and supported the clothes. It must be bulging, the comfortable feeling makes people even want to close their eyes for a while on such a midsummer night.
But the Pope was obviously not in such a mood. Alexander VI's face showed a worried look. His hand lightly lighted on the cane inlaid with gems, which allowed Alexander to vaguely feel the peace in the Pope's heart.
"Does Ferdinand really deprive his daughter of the regency," although he already knew the result, Alexander VI felt hesitant about this judgment, and he knew exactly what it meant, especially in Now when Isabella's condition is unclear, what will happen if he rashly supports Ferdinand, which makes it difficult for Alexander VI to decide "If the Queen's condition improves, this is a very bad plan. "
Alexander nodded gently, and he knew that the Pope was right. If Isabella recovered in time and Ferdinand hadn't had time to start, maybe everything was okay.
But if the Queen has been bedridden or even seriously ill, then Juana is bound to be regent, and by then, Ferdinand is bound to take measures to control Juana.
All of this is under the premise that Isabella may never recover, or may even collapse, but if the queen finally recovers, then the twin kings will face inevitable fierce conflict.
By that time, Alexander VI, who chose to support Ferdinand, may be in a difficult position.
Looking at the anxious pope, Alexander couldn't help but think of the Medici brothers who are now in Italy and still running for the revival of the family.
Compared with the inferior Borgia family, the Medici family can even be regarded as a group of nearly perfect rulers.
Among them, the most relishing, in addition to their enthusiasm and support for art, is more because this family is more "kind".
This sounds strange. For the Florentines, the Medici family has absolutely nothing to do with kindness, but it is a different way to those who deal with them.
The people of the Medici family are cunning, greedy, power-loving and insidious. This is not denied by everyone, but this family also has another advantage, that is, it is "very righteous" to friends.
The people of the Medici family will not forget any enemies, but they will also not forget anyone who has helped them. This makes the family have many friends while having many enemies.
Even people who have lost their value to them will reach out as long as they have worked hard for them.
This is the Medici family, a peculiar family with infinite charm.
Obviously, there is no such good tradition in the Pogia family. Perhaps the son-in-law is the tradition of this family, but if you think about it, it will be prohibitive.
So now Alexander VI himself has to face the fate of being abandoned if he loses his function.
"I can't take this risk," the pope finally stopped tapping his cane and looked at Alexander. "Unless we can know what the queen is up to now, if I rashly declare that Juana is tempted by the devil and is not qualified to inherit a Christian world The crown of the country, so the queen does not need to come forward, and her supporters may tear us all into pieces, "said the pope here with a heavy tone." This is Castile, I ’m better than you for everything here. I ’m more familiar with it. I believe they can do things like this. "
Alexander did not refute this time. He knew that the Pope was right. Iberia was a magical place. While the people here believed in the cross almost fanatically, they firmly believed that the royal family was above the church. The unique phenomenon that only existed in the Anglican Church now appears in several countries in Iberia. It must be said that it was actually influenced by too many Moors.
But it did cause them a lot of trouble, so Alexander also wanted to know what is happening to Isabella.
"I will find a way."
Alexander can only say this, he can't guarantee when Uliu will be able to hear the news, and he also has different ideas about Juana than before.
Alexander originally wanted to control Juana like Ferdinand. Although the princess's spirit was not stable enough, he was still the legal heir of Castile, but this identity was enough to make people treat her no matter what. Not paying too much attention, this even made him have the intention of holding Juana in his hands at all costs.
But now, the Pope's concerns have given him new ideas.
"Alexander, I think sometimes it may be a good choice to help the weak," the Pope patted and supported his hand. "Do n’t you ever think we can help Juana, I think at least she is better than Ferdinand. It's better to deal with. "
"Your suggestion is indeed good, but we all know that Ferdinand is not easy to deal with. If he knows that we want to betray him, maybe your situation will get worse."
"My child, isn't my situation bad enough now, to know that this is Castile, for us it's just the stupid people in this place, and if they anger them, it will be enough to make us all go to hell. "Alexander VI looked at his son-in-law with a 'you're too young' look, and then he lowered his voice again and said," If you want to risk taking the crown of Castile, you should know exactly where to stand Whose side. "
"Then you chose Isabella?"
"No, I just chose the side that is in my favor."
Alexander listened thoughtfully. Although he knew that the inferences were still unfounded before he got the news about Isabella ’s condition, he admitted that the Pope was right. The situation in Iberia was more than he thought. Is much more complicated, at least from Ferdinand ’s so impatient desire for Alexander VI to intervene in the regency of Castile, and even to suggest that he defamated his daughter, Ferdinand is indeed He is determined to have the right to rule over Castile, but similarly, he is also wary of the nobles of Castile.
Ferdinand is clearly worried that Castile nobles use Juana to fight him. Although Philip is no longer a threat now, the Castilians must still not be willing to take orders from him.
And there is no doubt behind it the shadow of Isabella.
"We must get news from the Queen so that we can know what to do next." The Pope looked at Alexandria with a profound eye. He had already seen that Alexandria must have made arrangements in Castile before. He now needs Knowing whether these arrangements are worth his risk to choose between the couple "If you want to win the crown, you must let people see your sincerity, and there are more people besides me."
Alexander, who understood the meaning of the Pope ’s words, did n’t say anything. He knew that the Pope had n’t finished. Sure enough, Alexander VI went on to say:
In Castile, it ’s not just Barriardo, the nobility of The church also has a great influence, I think you should not ignore them, and I think I should visit Toledo. "
With that said, Alexander VI walked to the Rose Horn Palace alone with his cane, leaving Alexander behind looking at his back slightly fascinated.
When Uliu came to the Treasury Officer Don Makrosbane ’s house again, the Treasury Officer was at home.
So he could only hide in the kitchen with the cook lady and the servants while eating the newly picked green grapes with a sour taste, while listening to their heated discussions about the new things that had just happened in his home.
"Adult must be very angry," a servant said mysteriously. "But this time let him catch him. I saw that my wife had overturned an adult's favorite precious vase because of panic. The old man chased the poor Barto Knight around the courtyard several times. "
"Yeah, poor Barto Knight and Madam, this time they were unlucky, but the old man had been too busy to go home, he was careless, who can think of the old man coming back so early today."
A maid said happily that the maid's choice was not worried about her wife's bad scandal, but was excited because of such an interesting topic.
"Actually, the Bart Knight deserves it," the cook said, and looked at the relishing Uliu next to him. "The old man came back early in the past few days, but the Barto Knight has been entangled and refused to go. Without breaking them, the master will one day know. "
"Senior Treasury Officer seems to be less busy these days, right?" Uliu, who immediately noticed something, asked casually as he threw the green grapes in his mouth.
"It seems to be idle, so I said that the Barto knight deserved it. His courage was too big, so this time it hurt them all."
Uliu listened slowly as he chewed the mouth of the sour grapes. He felt that he should tell this to the owner as soon as possible, because this did not sound like good news.
It ’s just that Uliu did n’t report to Alexander that a good news from the palace had spread in Barriado.
The queen who had prayed silently had fulfilled his wish. According to Thomas Tongomada, the queen would return to the court after a small private confession ceremony.
The Barialidos immediately boiled. Although the Queen had similar prayers before, this time was too long. This even made many people secretly speculate whether something happened. Now the Queen is back safely, and It will soon appear in front of the people, but this news is enough to appease the people who are already vaguely uneasy.
The news was quickly sent to Alexandria, because according to Thomas Tongomadda, the queen will see the pope immediately after the private prayer ceremony, although this ceremony cannot be compared with the grandeur of the pope ’s original visit to Castile. , But Isabella has ordered that a rather grand ceremonial ceremony be held in the palace.
So when Uliu finally had the opportunity to come to Alexander's residence again, he saw Alexander staring at a gorgeously decorated letter on the table.
Wuliu walked helplessly to the old man and stood down. There was a trace of frustration on his face. Speaking of it, this was a rare failure since following Alexander. This made Wuliu even feel that he had done everything before. Are they all too stupid.
"You don't need to blame yourself," Alexander saw Uliu's annoyed expression. He smiled and comforted his emperor. "This is not Rome. You will never have the opportunity to show your smile to the ladies, You can easily find out everything you want to know from them. This is Castile, and even Tiego should be careful here. "
"But lord, the queen's illness seems to be really good," Uliu said with disappointment. "I thought ..."
"Why do you think she died so easily."
Alexander glanced at Uliu and smiled. Although he knew that Isabella ’s life span in history was only about two years, he is now not sure if this will happen. After all, what has changed is too much. More, since Gonzalo failed to defeat the French in 1501 to capture the entire Naples for Ferdinand, then Isabella may not be able to scream after two years.
"But this is too bad for us, isn't it, after all, Don Bavey is almost unable to support it now," Uliu said annoyed. "Even James is helping him non-stop. , Those Andalusians are a bunch of idiots. "
Uliu, who was emotional because of the previous frustration, vented his dissatisfaction with the Andalusian nobles, which made Alexander feel a little interesting to see.
Alexander knew that he always seemed to laugh all day long, and it seemed that Uliu, who was respectful to anyone, was actually a very proud person. Probably in his mind, there were not many people under Alexander who could compare with him, but this time Frustration made him feel that he was so useless, which made him somewhat violent and even abandoned, and even became nervous.
"Uliu, I think we are wrong," Alexander interrupted Uliu's complaint, although he knew that the urgency and pressure that Uliu had faced had to be released, but he did not want to see this method. Let Uliu be completely discouraged. "Maybe you should leave Bariaridot for a while."
"Master, do you mean you don't need me anymore, do you want me to return to Rome?" Uliou asked with some disappointment.
"No, I'm inseparable from you here, but I don't think this is where you can play your role," Alexander comforted his imperial officer, who didn't want Uliu to lose confidence in himself because of this small blow "I think you are going to be ready for a journey. I have a more important task to give you. If necessary, you have to prepare some thick clothes for yourself. After all, those places may be cold."
Uliu was a little surprised to look at the yard outside where he knew the noisy, said that the summer of Iberia reminded him more of this season in his hometown, and sometimes even walked on the street when he saw those familiar fruits At this time, Uliu will have the illusion that he has returned to his hometown.
So when he heard that he was going to prepare the winter coat, Uliu first thought he had heard it wrong, and then he immediately thought of a possibility that he had never thought of before.
"Master, you want me to go ..." Uliu instinctively pointed his finger in the direction he guessed, and saw Alexander smile and nod. Although the Moors were still a little surprised after guessing, he immediately bowed to salute. Your order lord. "
Alexander put the invitation on the table in the name of Isabella aside ~ EbookFREE.me ~ Then he took Uliu's shoulder and walked out of the door: "I believe you will be able to handle this For the second mission, you need to know that France is different from here, except that the Loire Valley may be very cold in winter. "
Watching Uliu's figure rushing away in a donkey cart, Alexander stood silent on the steps.
He knew that this time Ulliu was very hit because he failed to get the information about Isabella in time. In fact, this frustration also made him a little caught by surprise for Alexander. At this time, he was even somewhat fortunate that the Pope was too cautious. Only in this way, his influence on Alexander VI may be weakened a lot.
Looking up at the hot sun in the sky, Alexander held his hand in front of him. He heard Schell behind him complaining about the of the weather, but Alexander did not mean to go back to the house.
After standing in the sun for a while, the sweat had gradually soaked his forehead. At this time, Alexander turned to Sher, who was standing not far behind, and said, "Go find my best clothes, we will go to see the queen Now. "
