Vol 6 Chapter 161: Exchange condition

In the legend, there was a story where an iron nail determined the destiny of a country. In reality, more trivial trivial things happened and finally became the beginning of determining the destiny of countless people.
There are too many such examples, and the fate of Massimiliano and Francesco, the two sons of Ludovico Sforza, Duke of Milan, is determined by a branch of trees.
The French military commander Count Broge was hit by an accidental splash of tree branches and caused serious injuries. The French were once in a panic, except that the French army was temporarily gone because of the injury of the Count as a commander. The leader is concerned because the identity of the count is too sensitive, which has led many people, including Louis XII, to squeeze a cold sweat for possible changes.
But fortunately, when many people were at a loss, the arrival of several doctors at Pavia University School of Medicine turned things around.
Several quacks who only bleed were rushed to the side, and then these doctors immediately began to treat the Count. Fortunately, Count Broge was originally very strong, and it was hard to survive after being tossed by several quacks. Although the body is still very weak, but after some setbacks, the count's life was finally rescued.
Louis XII was very happy because the Earl ’s salvation could not help saving the French army, let alone rescue France from the possible civil war. After generously rewarding the doctors, Louis XII expressed concern for the Earl , He decided to send the earl away from the battlefield for temporary cultivation.
The place Louis chose for the earl was a beautiful and quiet place to go out, a small town not far from Milan, controlled by the French during the negotiations, Roval.
The earl was also taken care of there. Louis XII specially arranged a group of clever servants and maids for the earl. At the same time, he also ordered to leave a branch in the town, although not many, but quite elite French soldiers protect the count.
Everything looks normal, and the Count himself has decided to recuperate in this town for a period of time. Although he ca n’t command the French army anymore, the previous results are enough to make the Count a pivotal figure in the French court. Too.
This result satisfied everyone until the news of the failure of the Milan peace talks came.
Massimiliano and Francesco used to a batch of supplies during the peace talks, but everyone was still negotiating at that time, and for many people in this era, there is no such thing. The idea of ​​confidentiality, so they accidentally knew that Earl Broge was healing in this town.
The failure of the peace talks meant that the war was restarted again, and at this time Massimiliano remembered about the Earl of Broge.
For Massimiliano, he felt that the count ’s existence was a huge threat to Milan, and the count ’s solitary confinement in Lovol made him think it was a rare opportunity, so he encouraged his brother to attack the town with him. He believed that if he could capture or kill the Earl, he would definitely hit the French hard.
Francesco agreed with Massimiliano's proposal without hesitation, and the two of them decided to assault the town of Lovol with a team of soldiers.
This was originally a very good plan, the French did not expect someone to attack the town, and the number of Lowor's French troops was pitiful.
But it was such a foolproof attack that, because of a small accident, it became the disaster of Massimiliano and Francesco's death.
A servant who took medicine for the earl discovered the whereabouts of the Milanese. The servant immediately turned back to report to Lovol, but ran to a French military barracks not far away for help.
The French troops stationed immediately rushed out of the nest. They overtook Massimiliano and Francesco, who were going to hunt, from behind on the way to Roval.
Suddenly the hunters and prey changed roles, but when the battle was over, the French talent was surprised to know from the prisoner's mouth what they had killed in the battle!
When the news of the death of Massimiliano and Francesco reached Milan, it was said that Ludovico was in a daze for a while, and then he fell down from the chair all at once, his body shivering and he was trembling. Bai Mo, letting the people around yell like crazy, and can't make a sound.
Normezi in Montina was informed of the incident and immediately went to Rome overnight with permission from Barendi, but he was a little late after all, when he told Alexander shortly about Massimiliano The news of Francesco's death soon spread throughout Rome.
For a time, many people's eyes became hot, and countless lights cast on Milan.
Because people know that with the death of the brothers Massimiliano and Francesco, Ludovico has only one daughter, which means that the Sforza family is facing a desperate situation.
At the beginning, Francisco Sforza, the founder of the Sforza family, was Milan from the hands of the deceased Visconti family. Now they are facing this situation themselves, and for other families , Sforza's absolute heir meant their opportunity.
"The one called Normezi has been here," said Old Rovere to Constantine. "Gombre asked him to tell us that he is willing to support you in marrying Ludovico's daughter."
Constantine took a deep breath. He felt a little dizzy. He knew his father was right. Alexander ’s support may not be based on good intentions, but think of it as a force that can now contend with the monarchs of France and France in Lombardy. Alexander's support was undoubtedly a strong pillar for him.
"Father, I think we should still accept Gombray's suggestion. Maybe he does have other ideas, but this may not be a bad thing for us."
Constantine said a little hesitantly, he knew that his father must have been more thoughtful than he considered, but the temptation of the Duke of Milan was too great, which made him not want to let this opportunity go even if he knew it might be a problem.
Old Luo Weilei glanced at his son, he knew that Constantine was tempted. In fact, facing this opportunity, old Luo Weilei himself was not so indifferent. After all, there are too many people coveting Milan. If you let the best use of child marriage to expand the territory of Maximilian Ann took the lead, and that was a good opportunity.
"Gombre put forward a condition," Old Rovere said with a strange expression in his face. "He asked for the release of Catalina Sforza."
"What, how dare he ..." Constantine instinctively wanted to be angry, which was purely due to a brother's reaction, but then he calmed down, and after frowning slightly, he also looked strange. Said "He is interested in that woman?"
"Who knows, maybe he is interested in older women instead. After all, his women were very young before," said Old Rovere, who also frowned. He was pretty sure that Alexander would be so willing to help Constantine. With good intentions, he just couldn't figure out why Alexander did this.
To this son-in-law, Old Rovere did not like it very much.
Although it is different from the professional son-in-law of the Borgia family, Old Rovere did not plan to treat his son-in-law, but if someone interfered with him, he would not mind using colder and more merciless means than the Borgia family. Human.
Alexander's performance made Old Rovere feel that he was already a hindrance, but now Alexander is not the small country lord who seemed to be allowed to be manipulated. Now he is the Duke of Romagna and Tuscany. One of the few who can decide the fate of Milan and even the whole Lombardy.
In this case, Old Rovere didn't mind continuing to work with this son-in-law once. As for whether he was really interested in Katerina Sforza, he didn't pay much attention when he was an old man.
Forli is already destined to be annexed, the only difference is just a matter of eating. Since there are better choices in front of him, Old Rovere will naturally not let his son waste the opportunity of marriage to Katrina Sforza.
"Tell Gumbre that I can agree to his terms, but he must prove his support for you with practical actions, such as publicly supporting him to propose to Ludviko ’s daughter in his name," Old Rovere seemed to have no thought at all. After Balendi felt like Constantine, after seeing his son nod, he suddenly said lightly,
Then you can write a letter to Balendi and reveal this to him a little bit. . "
Constantine glanced at his father, then nodded.
Normezi had been to Rome a long time ago, but that was all that happened many years ago. This time he came to report that he was planning to stay in Rome for a while.
After the Naples rebellion was captured, Normezi, who thought he might be executed, already felt desperate for the future, but he did not expect that he would not only cooperate with the Earl of Montina, but later he was also criticized by Alexander Heavy duty.
Although from the beginning he decided to agree to do something for Alexandria purely for the ambition of the Aragonese to betray him, but over time Normezi found out that he became more and more fascinated with his current work.
Especially after he served as the plenipotentiary of the peace talks in Milan, watching the prominent aristocrats in France and Austria often had to help him to listen to his suggestions and criticism, and sometimes even those who had to win him Condescending to please him in order to gain support in the negotiations, Normezi was so excited that he could not sleep at night.
After coming to Rome, Normezi suddenly became interested in the prostitutes who flooded the streets of Rome and even used the Vatican square as a place for business. This made him decide to temporarily put down the busy work at hand and give a good comfort Take a look at yourself.
When Alexander heard about Normez ’s feat of walking half a flower street overnight, he did not comment on Normez ’s behavior, but simply ordered someone to find a house for Normez outside. At the same time, she wrote a letter to Gina Brigitte, still in Montina, and asked her to send some clean hands and doctors.
"I will arrange people to teach them how to take care of patients, especially some who look bad." Alexander was a little helpless when he wrote to Gina. He said that he was still very optimistic about Normezi, but he knew After his stupid things, Alexander felt it better to keep him away.
Alexander does not oppose the indulgence of men. As for the prostitutes, of course, many of them are forced to live, but there are also many women who purely want to make big money without paying much, and they do not want to be like this woman. To rebuke, after all, everyone has their own life, as to what price to pay for this choice, it is also the result of choice.
However, he did not want to see the dirty things like syphilis appearing in front of his eyes, and he did not want to have serious consequences because of indulgence of this behavior. However, he remembered clearly that uncontrolled indulgence caused many French troops to be infected with syphilis. , And then they brought back this terrible disease that has not been discovered and paid attention to by France, and then for a long time, this disease, which was called "Roman disease" by the French, ravaged France. In severe cases, even the second invasion of Italy by Louis XII had to be abandoned due to a significant reduction in the army.
Normezi did not yet know that he had become a waste person in Alexander's eyes. He was eagerly waiting for the Duke to arrange new tasks for him, while also wondering how to exert a greater influence in the future Duke's court.
Normezi knew that he was a "foreigner". This is because he was taken prisoner after he was captured. Naturally, he was destined to be incomparable with the old people who had followed Alexander from the beginning. Another reason was that he had an impure purpose. ".
Normezi had never forgotten that Alexander had promised him. In fact, while enjoying the power in front of him, he had never forgotten Ferdinand ’s betrayal of him. He wanted to avenge Ferdinand, even if there was no Ferdinand ’s Betraying him wouldn't have all this now, but he still wanted Ferdinand to pay for what he did.
Because of this idea, Normezi knew that he might one day leave Alexander ’s side, and what he wanted to do now was to try to have enough influence in front of Alexander so that he could prompt him to fulfill his promise as soon as possible. .
Throughout February, one of the most rumored rumors in the city of Rome was about the death of the two sons of Ludovico, Duke of Milan, which meant that the harbinger of the Sforza family's absolute heir made many people think.
At this time, Romagna and Duke Gumbre of Tuscany publicly supported his eldest son Constantine de la Rovere ’s proposal to propose to Ludviko ’s only daughter, Catalina Sforza of Milan, which caused many People's attention.
Up to now, even the stupidest person admits that it was the Duke of Romagna and Tuscany who really benefited from the war in Northern Italy. Gradually becoming meaningless in wartime, Alexander used his special position in Lombardy to succumb to the source, and then directly prompted the Pope to seal him as the Duke of Romagna and Tuscany.
Now, the young duke, who is hot in Italy, made a sound again, this time he will support his eldest son to become the Duke of Milan.
For a time, in the eyes of many people, Alexander was unique.
On a day in early March 1500, the weather that was supposed to have turned warmer was much colder than this time in previous years. Rome, which had heavy snow just two days ago, was completely covered in a white world.
A carriage was escorted down to the Marino Palace by the eye-catching hunting guards. Lucrezia walked out of the carriage with the help of her maid.
When the cold wind blew, she first shivered slightly, and then quickly wrapped the thick cloak handed over by her maid, and then carefully walked towards the Marino Palace with the snow.
Several servants standing at the door hurriedly opened the door for the Duchess, and after seeing the apparently poor look on her face, several servants chose to hide aside.
Lucrezia walked into the court, she stopped the servant who was going to report, and walked alone on the second floor along the large marble steps. When she came out of Alexander's room, she stopped to examine herself. Dressed up, and after making sure that this looks more beautiful than usual, she first tapped, and then opened the door in Shel's helpless eyes.
Alexander, who was busy sitting at the table, looked up unexpectedly and saw Lucrezia, he stopped the letter he was writing. At the Marino Palace, the only person who could break in without notification was So a few, now only Lucrezia himself enjoys this privilege.
"I heard that you are going to release that Katrina Sforza?" Lucrezia rarely showed a bit of annoyance, which made her a little surprised because it seemed to be her first time in her memory. Unhappy with Alexander because of other women.
Lucrezia knows her identity very well, and she is willing to act as a lover, so even if she is jealous and jealous, she hasn't really shown this kind of expression, but it is heard that Alexander actually rescued Catalina Si When Forza decided to support Constantine, she felt angry.
His brother was sent to captivity on Elba Island, and for the old woman he was willing to help that disgusting Constantine to win the throne of the Duke of Milan, which made Lucrezia feel underestimated.
Looking at Lucrezia's hard face, Alexander smiled bitterly. He knew this would happen, and even glanced at a letter from Montina on the table.
It was written by Barendi.
"Don't you want to explain ..."
"I'll explain this." Alexander stood up and walked towards Lucrezia, which made Lucrezia's face immediately red.
As she stepped back, she gasped a little and said, "I don't want you to explain this way!"
"So how do you want me to explain?" Alexander asked amusedly, and then handed Barenti's letter to Lucrezia. "Is this explanation possible?"
"Do you want me to read your wife's letter?" Lucrezia looked surprised. Although she knew she shouldn't read it, her curiosity made her open the letter.
Then, under Alexander's instructions, a text that surprised Lucrezia appeared in front of her.
"As you have warned before, Constantine disclosed to me the news of your attempt to rescue Katerina Sforza, although he did not elaborate, but I can also guess that his purpose was only In order to make me believe that you have betrayed our engagement again ~ EbookFREE.me ~ Luckrezia raised her head in amazement and looked at Alexander, she felt like she suddenly became a little fool, it seemed that everyone she knew Much smarter than her, she lowered her head and continued to look at Alexander's gesture.
"But I prefer to believe that this should be my father's advice, and the purpose is just to destroy the trust and feelings between us, but despite knowing this, I'm also a little curious why you must save that Forli's tigress , To know if her age really arouses your interest, I am a little curious about this ... "
Looking at this playful letter, Lucrezia was a little dazed because she couldn't turn for a while. After a while she was full of surprise and asked, "Aren't she worried?"
Alexander knew what Lucrezia asked. He didn't answer, but took her gently to the bench and sat down.
"You shouldn't question me so impatiently."
"but……"
Alexander raised a finger to block Lukrezija ’s words: "I do n’t blame you for questioning me, but because you look like this, it ’s not good for your body."
Talking to Alexander, he gently stroked Lucrezia's belly.
Not long ago, he had just learned that Lucrezia was pregnant again.
In mid-March 1500. Katrina Sforza, who was imprisoned for nearly a month and a half, was released from Fort Cheney.
Waiting for her outside the prison is a comfortable carriage.
When the carriage took her to the Palace of Marino, Alexander standing at the gate waiting for her opened her arms slightly to the Fuli tigress: "Welcome you Duchess, you are free."
