Vol 3 Chapter 143: "Secretary Alexander"

The Roman City Hall is still standing on the side of the City Hall Square as before. Several arch-shaped gates form a semi-circular structure around the side of the square with the shape of the City Hall. However, on the open space of the square, the previously built gallows It has been replaced by a construction site, a group of workers are busy at work, Alexander knows that it will not be long before a magnificent marble fountain will stand up here.
At this time, Caesar not only moved into the city hall, but also chose the original Charlene room as his office. In this room, it is said that there were many famous nobles working here in the early years, and there were two of them. The individual became the pope.
When the French were most proud of occupying Rome, this office became the seat of the "Roman King", and the corridor outside the office was filled with people trying to meet, and it is said that even when working here , People can always see Charlene wearing his black armor.
Now the corridor is still full of people, although it may still be the same people, but the people in the office they want to please have become.
Alexander, who walked directly through the corridor to the door of the house under Skop, felt the angry eyes cast by the passing crowd. Obviously people were annoyed by this guy who suddenly jumped in line, but Alexander could only help them. Smiled, and he was quickly attracted by a waiter standing at the door.
The young Pelotto Cardron stood at the door and saw Alexander. He bowed slightly and decently saluted: "Adult, please wait a moment, I will inform the Bishop."
Alexander nodded, but he was a little bit wondered why Pelotto Cardron was here. The petted follower around Alexander VI has never left the pope, but now it seems that he has become Caesar's follower, But if this is the case, then when Lucrezia and Giovanni Sforza temporarily evacuated to the monastery, how could he be sent by Alexander VI as the liaison between the father and daughter, and then again How can I become the father of Lucrezia's first child?
Is there something wrong with this?
Alexander had some inexplicable thoughts. He wasn't careless about other people's affairs, but who was the father of the child of Lucrezia's child. It was likely to determine many major changes in the future of the Borgia family.
Only by knowing these things can we know the intricate relationship between the family and knowing these, and then we may not make wrong decisions because of judgment errors.
Although Skop didn't tell him the reason on the way, Alexander could still realize that whether he said he wanted to use himself or those who didn't want him to be used, they should all be from the Polynesian family.
Skop is an old slippery head, and apart from what he said at the beginning, he has never revealed anything useful, but instead has been bragging about how forever the mercenaries he brought along, or pulling something he heard The various rumors and slurs about some Roman nobles, in short, Alexander failed to get any valuable news from him.
Pelotto Cardron came out quickly, reaching for the slightly open door and begging Alexander to go in, then closing the heavy door, and standing in front of the door with his hands clasped.
Alexandria in this room was the first time in this room, but he had already heard it before. Looking at the marble sculpture of "The barbarian heroes robbing the priests of the temple of Apollo" on the huge pedestal in the room, Alexander couldn't help I wonder if it is in the eyes of the Roman conquerors of all dynasties that this city, like the women who were plundered by them, is the most satisfactory trophy in their eyes.
Caesar is very busy. With the help of the secretary next to him, he finds more important priority treatment from the pile of various documents. Even so, looking at the number of documents that were specially selected, it made Alexander feel that this is really a big deal. Workload.
Seeing Alexandria, Caesar just pointed to the side and signaled him to wait first and then bury his head in work.
It can be seen that this is not a deliberate deliberate attitude, but it is indeed very busy. During this period, Alexander saw him take a sip from the cup next to him because he was thirsty, but it did n’t take long for the cup to be empty, but he was still Pick up the empty glass behind him, and then put it down again.
Alexander was not prepared to refill Caesar's cup for him. This was not because he couldn't put down the shelf, but when he thought of Caesar's famous nickname, he thought it was better not to disturb the things here, otherwise it would be impossible What if the famous ancestral poison Cantrera of the Borgia family had given him something to drink, it would be called hilarious.
Caesar's efficiency is very fast. Even if there are too many documents on the table, he can make a decision quickly, and it can be seen that he is not perfunctory, but has read the above content seriously. After making a decision, the secretary next to him also looked very savvy. After Caesar approved the documents, he immediately placed them in different places and then shook his hand bell to call the next room. The servants waiting there sent different documents out.
Alexander sat bored and watched. At this time, he had to admit that Caesar was indeed a qualified ruler. Compared with him, the other nobles in the city of Rome seemed very embarrassed at this time.
On the way he came, he saw more than once that the Romans had begun to clear the country. Some Roman aristocrats were taking their men everywhere to find the French who attacked and ordered, and some were surrounded by those who refused to flee. The French garrison guarding the house is in the city hall, and many other members of the order meeting are also busy searching for loot that the French have not had time to take away. I believe that those things cannot be returned to their original owners. There it is.
At this time, Caesar was working non-stop. He shouldered all the work that the city could do during the chaotic period between the fall and liberation. Obviously, Caesar really did not want this city. This short-term chaos turned into an uncontrollable turmoil.
Finally, Caesar stopped. It was not that the work was over, but that the pens he used to replace were all used up. When the secretary went to the next room to get the pen, Caesar straightened his waist and shook his lower shoulder. Made a beckoning gesture to Alexander.
"You came back faster than I thought," Caesar looked at Alexander across the table. When the secretary came in, he waved his hand and motioned him to step back. When there were only two people in the room, Caesar stared closely at Alexander's eyes. I think I heard that you did something unexpected this time, right? "
Already knowing that he would be asked about this, Alexander just smiled indifferently: "I went to make some money, you know I have a lot of money in the Marino Palace."
"Oh, you made a little money to rescue the Frenchman Charlene," Caesar pouted. "But did you know that because of your actions, the plan of the Allied forces to attack the city of Rome was disrupted. I have already Received a notice from the coalition, would you like to know what to say above? "
Seeing Alexander looking at a document on the table pointed to by his paper, Caesar pushed the document with to Alexander.
"They asked the Romans to arrest you immediately and wait for their trial after entering the city."
"I just listen to other people's orders. If I want to arrest, it won't be me. At least the first one shouldn't be me." Alexander said unconsciously.
"The people of the Croweley family did not cause such great trouble, and Constantine did not go to capture the imperial palace and the looting of the logistics camp of the Allied forces." Caesar said that a strange look flashed in his eyes here, which was not so much a duty. It ’s better to be excited,
I really want to know how you did it. I heard that you even defeated a whole heavy cavalry with your soldiers from the countryside, and even more exaggerated, they destroyed almost all the artillery of the coalition. To be honest, when I heard these news, I didn't even believe it. "
"Just luck."
Alexander said modestly, in fact, he was telling the truth. Even at this time, Alexander still did not think that this victory was entirely dependent on the bravery and combat skills of the Agri people. On the contrary, he felt that after this battle, The Gregorians have exposed too many shortcomings. The reason why they can defeat the heavy cavalry is not so much the advantage of the Agris. It is that those heavy cavalry are facing the traditional cold weapon square and the ascending hot weapon. After the combination, it is impossible to quickly adapt to this new tactic, and even the failure caused by chaos after accidental casualties.
Caesar was obviously not satisfied with Alexander's answer. He stared at Alexander for a while, then nodded noncommittally.
"But you did have a lot of trouble," Caesar leaned back, then stood up and walked to a dark cabinet to take out a bottle of wine and a glass and fill it in front of himself and Alexander. "I heard you Engaged with Valentie's Barendi? "
Hearing this, Alexander couldn't help smiling slightly. He believed that two news about his engagement and Constantine's presence on the battlefield would spread in Rome at the same time. It is estimated that the Romans will have a good conversation this time.
"Do you think that the Lowellé family will help you solve the immediate trouble?" Caesar continued to ask, and he continued without waiting for the answer. "You are very clever Alexander. You should know that this is impossible. The Lowellé family did not have that courage. They will not offend the coalition nobles for you. "
Alexander nodded thoughtfully. He knew that Caesar only said this because of the hostility towards the Rovere family, but in fact, after the French were driven away, the establishment of the Rovere family had been honest for a long time, although they were still The French kept their eyebrows, but at the same time they knew the current situation and chose to cooperate with the Holy Alliance against the law.
This is why Louis XII succeeded Charles VIII and continued to invade Italy, and he was no longer so friendly to the Rovere family. As a result, Giuliano de la Rovere, who later became the pope, and the French completely turned one of the main reasons. .
However, Alexander was not very worried about the Luo Weilei family will help him, because he had thought of these before this, so naturally has also thought about countermeasures.
But what he wants to know is why Caesar cares about him. After all, the rift between Caesar and Caesar made the "friendship" between them already doomed not to last long.
Probably knowing the reason, almost knowing his purpose.
"Can you help me?" Alexander decided to be doomed, and it was also a good time for him to feel uneasy because of his bad situation.
Sure enough, Caesar smiled, his smile was sincere, and his clear eyes looked serious.
"I can help you, but this is also for myself, it should be said that we are helping each other," Caesar does not seem to disguise his purpose. "You have already seen, the failure of the French is near, but the troubles that follow A lot. "Caesar said, glancing at the still-full pile of documents on the table next to him." When the coalition forces entered Rome, I hope they saw a self-saved Rome instead of a patient waiting to be rescued, because if that Not a good thing for all of us. "
Caesar's words made Alexander nod. He could understand the reason for Caesar's saying that completely pure liberation would make Rome into a very embarrassing situation. Just think about the history of Gonzalo publicly asking Alexander VI to show him that he was liberated Thanksgiving, you can understand Caesar's mood at this time.
After all, the so-called foreign liberators, no matter how grandiose reasons, cannot conceal the fact that they are actually conquerors.
A city that is not only complete but also has sufficient self-preservation capabilities has a distinctly different position when facing liberators. From this point of view, Alexander is fully able to understand Caesar, or the mind of the Borgia family.
But what does this have to do with yourself? Alexander asked cautiously: "So what do you think I should do?"
"This is what I said to help each other," Alexander said. "At this time, my army wants to protect the Vatican and the Pope. I must make sure that the French will not do anything crazy that threatens them because of failure before they withdraw. In this way, I can't ensure the order of the rest of the city of Rome. You should have seen it on your way. The situation in the city is already too bad. If we can't control it as soon as possible, maybe we really have to wait for the coalition to liberate us. Now. "
Alexander nodded silently, he knew that Caesar was talking about facts ~ EbookFREE.me ~ Now Rome is indeed facing the danger of losing control.
"I need someone who can help me, an ancient Roman guardian, his infantry can quickly quell the various riots that may occur on the complicated city streets, and because there are enough cavalry, he can catch up at any time. To the place of the accident, "Caesar looked at Alexander." What do you think of your people? "
Alexander was a bit stunned. He had to admit that Caesar was really not simple. Let him say that Alexander found the terrible lethality that can be produced on the narrow streets with dense firepower. The Agri Musketeer seemed to be a city warfare. And prepare the army.
But, is this the purpose of Caesar?
So how does Skop's previous warning sound?
Just as Alexander was pondering, Caesar had continued to say: "But Rome is too big and your army is a bit thin, so I decided to arrange someone to work with you, my brother-in-law Giovanni Sforza, I believe You will be able to cooperate happily. "
It turned out that it was not that simple, and hearing the name of Giovanni Sforza, Alexander immediately had such a thought in his heart.
