Vol 4 Chapter 185: Lucrezia's family book

With the arrival of the end of August, the hot summer has finally lost its prestige that has been raging for a long time. With the cool breeze blowing from time to time, the comfortable feeling of refreshing early autumn makes people feel refreshed.
A golden color has appeared in the wild, and out of the wheat field, more wild flowers in the mountains and wilderness appear more delicate and gorgeous. When the wind blows, the cool breath mixed with countless floral fragrances will be blown away far, and to anyone I don't know the distance.
Autumn is refreshing and pleasant, and if the breeze is accompanied by unexpected news, the wind will appear more meaningful.
Alexander VI stood in front of the window and looked at the crowd walking back and forth in the square. Although Michelangelo left, another equally famous and more experienced architect named Sabali became the head of the Vatican reconstruction, And compared to Michelangelo, who is too self-centered, Sabari is a better example of cooperation with others.
St. Peter ’s Church Square, which has not really appeared today, is still full of chaotic buildings of different heights. According to Alexander VI ’s vision, these houses will be pushed down in the future, and then the precious marble will be laid on the large land. It is necessary to build a huge square enough for the Romans to envy.
Of course, Alexander VI did not know that it was impossible to see the completion of this huge project in his lifetime, and even his successors did not have the opportunity to see the completion of the square, but this did not prevent the Pope from dealing with this grand project. He even asked Michelangelo to paint him an oil painting after the square was completed.
Then, sometimes the pope would stand in front of this large oil painting and imagine himself standing in front of the same built St. Peter's Church, and preaching to everyone.
The Pope rarely has such a good mood, especially since several of his children have left him one after another, he has not enjoyed such a pleasant afternoon for such a long time.
Another gentle wind blew in, and the wind blew in from the wide sleeve of the robe, causing a slight shudder on his body. Alexander VI hummed softly. He suddenly had the urge to intimate with the woman. As he wondered whether he was going to tell Julia Farne to make some preparations, a letter placed on the table under a silver cutter caught his attention.
The envelope has been opened. In fact, the Pope has read it more than once, but because of the different feelings after each reading, he simply put the letter there.
Now noticed again, the pope went over and picked up the letter and opened it again.
In fact, he could memorize the content inside, but when he looked at it again, Alexander VI was still very serious.
The letter was written by Lucrezia. For the almost elopement of her daughter and Alexander, Alexander VI has always maintained a kind of reserved silence.
Although this silence inevitably caused various conjectures, Alexander VI did not care much about it.
A man who can murder his son-in-law may not care whether his daughter eloped with a man.
After watching Lucrezia tell him in a proud tone that his granddaughter had become the Duke of Pisa, the corners of Alexander VI's mouth slightly curled up, revealing a smile of relief and deep meaning, but when he saw Lucre After Zia wrote Alexander's attitude towards the Venetian in a slightly worried tone, the pope raised his hand and gently scratched the slightly sparse hair on the top of his head with his ring finger.
"... Father, I'm worried that Alexander's pride will put him in trouble. I don't know how to describe it, but I can feel his anger at the Venetian and the expectation of Estelles, so I can Knowing his hostility towards the Venetians, I fear that he might directly confront the Venetians because of this, so I am here to ask you to help Alexander, although my willful actions may hurt your heart, but please see For the sake of your granddaughter, you must help me ... "
"Granddaughter." Alexander VI murmured softly, and then looked on.
"Alexander is busy with government affairs now. He seems to be in a hurry, doing a lot of things every day. Sometimes I even think, maybe he might be better if he does n’t come back to Pisa, as long as he does n’t leave During the war, he would write to me every day. Sometimes if the route was delayed due to bad weather, there might be several messengers sending me his letter at the same time, but now we live in the same palace, but I But people who often do n’t see him, sometimes even do n’t see him in the middle of the night. If you do n’t know that he loves me and me, I even have to wonder if he may have a new love. The nasty woman is fooling around. "
Seeing his daughter complaining about the sweetness that was intentionally or unintentionally revealed, the pope shook his head a little helplessly. In his opinion, maybe the Gombré was actually fooling around with some nasty woman, but he would not be This is not good for her daughter.
Speaking of her daughter ’s identity, she is not qualified to complain about it. After all, her fiancée is still in Montina ’s territory.
The conflict between Montina and Genoa, in the eyes of many people, is purely the internal strife of the Genoese. This makes many Genoese enemies happy.
But Alexander VI would n’t see it that way. He felt that he still knew the young man very well. This understanding could be explained by the concern about a who abducted his daughter, or simply said that he was going with him. Knows well.
Because he could feel Alexander ’s ambitions, the Pope would not see this short-lived war as an internal infighting. On the contrary, he thought it was an event that completely separated Montina ’s relationship with Genoa.
From now on, Montina really belongs to a completely independent territory. Perhaps in terms of the nominal relationship, it must still recognize the sovereign status of Genoa, but just like the British and France after the Hundred Years War, this relationship really has only one name .
What Alexander VI really paid attention to was Alexander's attitude towards Venice.
Is it possible for Montina and Venice, who are completely independent, to form an alliance?
It was this speculation that made Alexander VI's attitude ambiguous when dealing with that war.
However, what makes many people feel strange is that when dealing with the conflict between the two sides, the attitude of the Luoweilei family as a Genoese clan seems strange.
And this letter caught Alexander VI's attention.
"Father, Alexander said to me that he hoped to be reconciled with Caesar, at least he would no longer be an enemy. To be honest, this made me both happy and surprised, because before that he had never offered to forgive Caesar, after all, what happened before It's hard to forget things so quickly, but I am very happy that he can say that. "
The Pope looked at this passage repeatedly. He also felt unbelievable when he just received the letter before, but after pondering it again, he had to admit that Alexander proposed to improve relations with Caesar at this time, regardless of whether he said it was true. , Can not be ignored.
No one Alexander VI knew more about the significance of an independent joint territory of Montina and Pisa in Tuscany and Romagna.
"Father, please do this. I hope to see that my family is friendly and friendly. The men of the Borgia family should only compete in the competition field, not on the battlefield. Please listen to your daughter ’s Please, I believe this is the best for all of us. "
Alexander VI scratched his hair again, but this time because of a headache.
Not letting yourself worry, the Pope complained secretly.
The people of the Pogia family did not have a fuel-saving lamp, and even the seemingly naive Lucrezia actually secretly expressed an attitude through such a letter.
If this cannot be done, does that mean that Gombré will fall to the Venetian?
What the pope saw in a letter from a seemingly warm family member was such annoying hint.
As for the Gombré, the pope suddenly felt that he was really suitable for being a Borgia, just thinking about his quasi-elder, Alexander VI shook his head again.
It ’s okay to treat your daughter as a mistress to others, but it ’s another matter if you are a mistress to the enemy ’s son-in-law.
The Borgia family and the Rovere family cannot make friends, and everyone knows this.
In this letter, however, it was Florence who was most concerned about by Alexander VI!
The letter was very thick, so the pope took a drink from the glass and then took a short break before continuing to read.
"Alexander insisted that Tomnio ’s death was related to the Venetians, and he had publicly submitted the state book to the Governor of Venice, asking them to hand over the behind-the-scenes instructions that led to Tomnio ’s killing. Support gives Florence the ability to implement this plan. "
The pope stroked the smooth chin he had just shaved. He found this paragraph very interesting. When he first saw it, he thought it must have been written by Alexander to give it to Lucrezia, because what it is. Explanation is fine.
The door sounded slightly, and it seemed to know who was coming. The pope did not raise his head but waved his hand slightly to not disturb himself.
So just entering the door, Nomelo, with a document in his hand, walked aside and stood quietly.
The pope ’s eyes kept flowing on the letter, sometimes he stopped to watch a certain paragraph for a long time, and sometimes he went back to see somewhere in front, so that after a while, he finally put his eyes on The last paragraph of the letter.
"I know that Valentina de la Rovere is now in Montina, and my father ca n’t help but admit that this is bad news for me. The key is that she is still the regent of Montina, which makes me unable to help. Streth ’s rights are worried. The future of Pisa depends to a great extent on his relationship with Montina, and once the future inherits Montina is the child of the woman of the Rovere family, I doubt if they will seriously consider The benefits of pizza may even have coveted hearts. Unless pizza was strong enough to protect yourself at that time, there is another way to solve this future problem. "
The letter came to an abrupt end here. After reading the honorific and familiar signature of his father for a long time, Alexander VI slowly raised his head and looked at Nomelo who had been waiting quietly.
"Your Majesty, the clerk of the Carolingian Palace has just sent a document. This is a copy sent by the Bishop of Venice. It was a meeting between the Governor of Venice, Barbarig, and an emissary of the Empire."
The news brought by Nomelo condensed the expression of Alexander VI, and the shadow of the Emperor Emperor Maximian passed over his heart, and then he frowned inconspicuously.
Seeing the little action of the pope, Nomelo couldn't help but pondering it secretly, assuming he was willing to betray the news. I wonder if anyone would frown and pay for the pope's hearing about the emperor.
"Does the Venetian intervene in Romagna's affairs?" Alexander looked annoyed at the copy. He looked at Nomelo with dissatisfaction. Although he was not angry at him, he was also asking. "Don't they forget it soon?" The agreement they signed with Giovanni, or do they think it is possible to break the contract without hesitation because of the misfortune of my son? "
Suddenly mentioned his sorrow for losing Aiko, even after a long time, the Pope was still in pain and his face was pale, which made Nomelo a little flustered. He quickly poured a glass of wine for the Pope and delivered it to his hand. Half-kneeled in front of him, holding the other hand of Alexander VI, bowed his head and kissed.
"My majesty, father, please don't be too sad, you know all this is God's arrangement, Giovanni is already in heaven at this time to prove his position."
"But leave me an old man who is about to die in this world and continue to suffer." After taking a drink, the slightly stable Pope sighed slightly and stood up under Nomelo's help and walked slowly in the room. "Whether the Borgia family can continue to maintain its glory in the future, or whether it can continue to exist in Rome, depends on each Borgia, but in fact each of them will not let me worry."
The pope said that he handed the letter in his hand to Lomino, and then motioned the secretary to notice the two paragraphs in which he had read it several times.
The Pope noticed that Nomelo's expression was changing slightly, and he sighed again.
After seeing Nomelo's eyes noticed the end of the letter and couldn't help smiling slightly, Alexander VI raised his glass and took a sip, then looked at his secretary with questioning eyes.
"Your Majesty, if this letter has not been acquiesced by the Earl of Montina, then this is what Miss Lucrezia is asking for your help. If the Earl knows all these things, then things can be a little worth looking forward to."
"Do you mean pizza?"
"Yes, your majesty, what Miss Lucrezia said is 'the only other way', isn't it to ask you to help Miss Estelles as a pope and grandfather in the future to fight for Montina's inheritance? ? "
"Well, this is the case, do you think Gombré knows her words?"
The Pope's inquiry made Nomelo hesitate. He felt that he needed to think carefully before answering, because his answer might affect some of the Pope's decisions to a large extent.
"Your Majesty, as far as I know the Earl is a cautious person," Nomelo finally decided to be cautious. "So if he doesn't know what was written in Miss Lucrezia's letter, I think it's unlikely."
The secretary's answer seemed to satisfy the Pope. He drank silently, and after a moment of silence, he received the letter very seriously in a thick wooden cabinet on the table.
Seeing the wooden cabinet, Nomelo's look could not help but dignified. He knew that everything that could be put into this cabinet by the house was extremely important to the pope. For example, there were several years ago when he tried to resolve Portugal and Spain. Maritime disputes, and ultimately delineated various records and transcripts of the diplomatic foreign letters of the famous Pope Meridian.
"So, do the Venetians really want to interfere with Romagna?"
The pope, who had collected the keys, turned to look at Nomelo, then walked over to the table and looked at the copy just read.
The Vatican has huge channels of information covering almost the entire world of Christ. This has been slowly formed in the past ten centuries. Every diocese and every monk is almost a tentacle sent by the Vatican to all parts of the world, especially those The Holy See still has an era of great prestige, and the Vatican is arguably the most informed place in the world.
Even today, the Carolingham Palace is still the distribution center for all major news in the entire Western world, which is one of the reasons why Alexander was interested in the Carolingham Palace.
"They seem to have sent people to and from the Florence government."
"These fallen Florentines, do they only have prostitutes in their minds," the pope cursed in jaw-dropping language: "That Mahimo, what is he doing, could it be that St. Mark's Monastery He is fascinated by things, does he know nothing about these news? "
"The Abbey seems to be not very harmonious with that Sazi, or the Florentines are a little wary of him," Nomelo thought about the news of Mahimo that he heard. "And we sent before the people in Florence. I haven't heard about these things. "
"Oh, I have to ask more." Alexander VI said dissatisfiedly. He was obviously not interested in how to inquire about the news, but more concerned about what he heard. "So does Venice have the emperor's support this time?" "
"This needs to be proved," Nomelo slightly worried. "I think if the emperor really wants to intervene in Romagna's affairs, maybe the Milanese will also join in. You know the relationship between the Sforza and the emperor Always close. "
"It's bad enough if that's the case," the pope frowned again. "Do you think Gombré can persevere? If you fail, it means that he must give up the rule of Pisa."
"So this requires your support. After all, Miss Estres is your granddaughter, and if possible, may have the chance to become the earl of Montina in the future."
The personal secretary ’s words made the pope ’s gloomy face show a smile, but no one knew his smile because he remembered his granddaughter who had not met, or because he finally had the two pieces of territory he could covet for a long time. Excuses and opportunities.
"Nomelo ~ EbookFREE.me ~ I'm going to send you to pizza," as the pope's mood seemed to improve, his tone became lighter. "I want you to bring one for my granddaughter A holy item I gave her. I want to be a Duke of Pisa. It should be appropriate to have a saint bone of Saint Aden. This saint was the first saint to convert to Pisa. Glorious things. "
"Your Majesty."
Nomelo bowed and nodded, by which time he had already guessed that the pope had actually made plans before he entered the door. It seems that this letter from Lukreziya really moved the pope.
"Add a message to Gumbre for me," said the strange look on Alexander VI's face. "Tell him that I will not allow the Venetians to infringe on Pisa. This is a promise as a pope and grandfather. . "
Listening to Alexander VI, Nomelo bowed again.
But the pope did not see the slightly raised corner of the secretary's face.
That Gumbre was really blackmailed, Nomelo thought about it secretly.
