Vol 7 Chapter 88: Gold, crown and pope

Ruosha looked at Nomelo's back that disappeared outside the door, and moved her neck slightly. Speaking of which, the top of her head that had been wearing a helmet had been sorely hurt, and her neck was sore. Click on it.
However, in order to maintain the Queen's dignity, she had to endure not allowing herself to make such a disgraced action.
So as soon as Nomelo left, Ruosha could not wait to take off the crown-embedded helmet and remove the cloud shoulders that hung on her shoulders. After feeling comfortable for a while, she could not help cursing that seemed to have a natural body The bohemian woman with the weird power seems to be in her impression that only the wild girl among women can run up and down like a monkey in a heavy armor.
Nomelo came to be a lobbyist for Alexander VI, which was completely beyond the expectations of Zuosha, and Nomelo also took the opportunity to reveal his own intentions to Zuosha.
Obviously, the private secretary already felt that the big tree of Alexander VI seemed to be unreliable. It was just that although the two sides had negotiated the conditions before, this time Nomelo made a more detailed request.
"He actually wanted to be a Roman protector. Isn't this whimsical?" Elliott looked at Ruosha and saw that she didn't seem to be stirred up by his words. He couldn't help worrying. Ask "Are you ready to promise him this condition?"
Ruosha didn't answer Elliot immediately, but seemed to be thinking about something. She twitched her eyebrows slightly and sometimes deflated the corners of her mouth, which included cuteness and a little bit of mischievous appearance. Te couldn't help but stunned, but she soon looked at Elliott with a straight look.
"So who do you think is appropriate to manage this city for us?"
Elliott froze for a while and then fell silent. He suddenly found that, as Ruosha said, there was really no one suitable for this matter, although Skop, the commander of the city defense army, seemed more suitable for this position, but not Knowing why, Elliott felt as if Rusha hadn't planned to give that position to that person from the beginning.
Whether it is Naples or Taranto, it is indeed not suitable to be the direct manager of Rome.
What they need is an agent that can be accepted by the Romans. Only in this way can they not provoke the Romans and will not allow other countries to find excuses for trouble.
"This is a city that is difficult to get in, but more difficult to get out of." Zuo Sha remembered the words that someone had said before. She stood up and slowly walked to the window to see the Roman city enveloped by the night outside, looking at the The hazy outline of the hills under the moonlight, she looked back to Elliott. "Do n’t you think we actually walked into a huge cage, but this cage can only trap those weak prey, in the real In front of the opponent, this cage will eventually become the jewel that the winner adorns the crown. "
Ruosha's words made Elliott's heart suddenly move. At this time, he felt that he really realized the ambition of the queen. This made him unexpectedly, and he couldn't help but burst of ecstasy from his heart. .
If she could become her husband, maybe ...
This thought excited Elliot instantly. He felt that he was right to be sent by Dad to join the trade union. Perhaps this trip would have an unexpected harvest that had never been thought of before.
The meeting place of Alexander VI with Russa was not in the Vatican's visit hall, but was unexpectedly placed in a temporary tent at the end of the Tiber Bridge not far from the Castel Sant'Angelo.
This tent is cleverly built on the middle of the slate extending from the bridge and the ground of the Vatican, so that the two parties can sit and talk without entering the territory of the other party.
This move of Alexander VI is undoubtedly the acquiescence of the fact that the Naples army took over the city of Rome. This made the cardinals very dissatisfied, but thinking of the messy situation in the city of Rome, no one dared to stand up and accuse him of this. " After the Pope Army and the City Defence Army have expressed their neutrality, the Cardinals have nothing to do with the Queen of Naples.
Constantine had rushed back to Rome overnight. In fact, he did not stay in the barracks after writing the letter of help to his father. Instead, he quickly took the guards away from the Pope ’s barracks on the outskirts, because he found that there seemed to be someone. After discovering the arrival of his new pope commander, he became restless.
This reminded him of Caesar. He didn't want to end up with a sieve, so Constantine left the guard quickly and built a temporary fortress in a nearby village.
Just like his father, Constantine had never expected that Russa would boldly order her army to cross the line of defense of the Pope and march to Rome.
After seeing the Pope's army give way to the Naples in a nearly tacit manner, Constantine couldn't help but rejoice in his foresight.
He could imagine what would happen if he stayed in the barracks, as long as he thought about whether he was forced to agree to withdraw or be given to the Naples by the greedy mercenaries, his already bad reputation It will only get worse.
But what Constantine did n’t expect was that, for his nearly second escape, Old Rovere did not rebuke him like he had given up Milan before. On the contrary, after seeing him return safely, the old Rovere was slightly more that night. Drinking a glass of wine expressed relief.
The carriage that Alexander VI took was slowly walking towards the bridge of the Tiber River Bridge. Unlike other carriages, the pope ’s carriage was low, and the pack horses of the were also of the local height, which looked more like dwarfs. Like a pony.
The carriage stopped slowly. With the help of the servant, Alexander VI walked slowly down from the carriage. He seemed to look around with some curiosity, and then gave out a single laugh of "Oh", then slowly by the servant He walked into the tent.
Ruo Sha has already arrived.
In the silence of the Pope Army and the City Defense Army, the Naples army has taken over important areas in the city of Rome, the city hall has been taken over, and some places where a large number of mobs have gathered have been cleared.
So walking on the road, Ruosha did not see the mob appearing on the street as she did the day before, but when she walked on the Tiber Bridge, she encountered some minor troubles.
The statue of Alexander VI was pushed across the bridge. What's worse is that the manure spilled on it emits an unpleasant stench during this season.
The guard had to find some local residents temporarily, and under the dual importance of muskets and gold coins, it took a lot of effort to clear up the dirty and disgusting obstacles.
So when walking on the Tiber Bridge, the grenadiers who were very nervous because of their vigilance seemed to be somewhat depressed, and some soldiers who were inevitably contaminated with dirt were simply left on the other side of the bridge. .
Now, in the air with a faint smell of smell, Ruosha sat solemnly waiting for the pope to come. When she saw Alexander VI, she bowed to the pope, then took his hand and bowed her head to kiss.
When she looked up, she noticed that Alexander VI was looking at her with a strange look.
"Today I let a murderer who killed my son kiss my hand softly. This may be God's punishment for me," Alexander VI whispered. He looked at Rusha carefully, raised his hand and swiped it gently with his finger. Her smooth and sweet cheeks and some rough fingers gently glide over the snow-like skin, and Alexander VI sighed softly. "This is really an angel-like face. I now finally understand why Alexander It ’s time to cast Ladia with your image. Your beauty is the most memorable masterpiece of God I have ever seen. "
Ruosha stood up slowly, she found that the pope seems to have hunched back, and in her impression that although Alexander VI was not very strong, but in the past it was always full of spirit.
"Your Majesty, I am sorry for Caesar's death, but all of this is God's arrangement." Luo Sha replied quietly.
"Is God's arrangement?" Alexander VI gave a slightly ridiculous smile. "For a long time, people believed that the Roman bishop was the closest to the will of God and Christ. People carried on this will to launch the mighty crusade. , And many times, and people have willingly devoted part of their harvest to the church according to this will, and this has been done for centuries, even when making mistakes, a powerful monarch has to be naked. Kneeled outside the pope ’s door for a few days and begged for forgiveness, but now, even a woman can openly speak of God ’s will.

"Your Majesty, please allow me to remind you that this woman is the Regent Queen of Naples and the conqueror of Rome." There was a trace of coldness on Ruosha's face. She looked at the pope's slightly tired eyes, and the slightly restrained chin was proud. Lifted up slightly "and I think you are well aware that the problems you are facing now can only be solved by me, so now I think you should show enough respect to me."
Alexander VI did not show his anger towards Rusha's almost unreasonable attitude. Although the attendants beside him were stunned by the words of the queen, the Pope himself only sighed softly.
"It's really ironic. The last person who spoke to me like this was Gonzalo, and your brother Alexander was on my side at the time." Alexander VI said strangely, his eyes fixed on Rusha's expression. Seeing that she seemed to move with this expression, the pope shook her head slowly.
"He is still on your side now, as long as you are willing to make a decision that satisfies all of us." Ruosha doesn't want to continue to waste time, although there is a river barrier, but the odor of disgust opposite him still makes it difficult Endure, she sat down and looked at the Pope, "We can solve the immediate trouble for you, but you need to transfer the coinage right, and you should also know that because the credit of the Ladia gold coin has been so bad to this day, so we are It is impossible to receive the actual amount of gold coins owned by the Holy See today, I think you should be very clear about this. "
The Pope listened quietly, and the entourage standing next to him quickly recorded Rusha's words, and at the same time he glanced at the Pope from time to time, as if he wanted to see the reaction from his face.
"Is this what Alexander asked you to say?" The pope asked suddenly, seeing Ruo Sha seemed slightly startled, and Alexander VI smiled. He seemed to have completely forgotten Caesar's death at this moment, and there was still a little bit of expression in it. It ’s so easy.
It ’s just a trap from the beginning, right, let me think about when it all started, was it when Alexander went to Wallachia, I remember he once told me that I already own Hungary It ’s also the reason why I ’m willing to use the Vatican ’s finances to issue gold coins. After all, there is a copper mine in Hungary that can be used as a support, so you do n’t have to worry about the troubles that may be caused by the lack of gold. Everything has been from that time. At first, yes, and the Fugel family, I do n’t know what Alexander promised them, but now this family probably made a lot of money, but I believe that the real winner is Alexander, or should be your brother and sister ,right?"
The Pope said that he stood up hard. He walked out of the tent and looked across the Tiber River under the scorching sun. A gust of wind engulfed the smell. The Pope turned slightly and frowned, looking at Rusha: But I do n’t understand why, I gave him my daughter, even let him give me a granddaughter, but he treated me like this, can you tell me why?
Looking at the pope's seemingly unwilling face, Ruosha frowned lightly and endured the unpleasant smell. Although she felt that there was no need to explain at this time, she said, "It's all because of your majesty, Probably you have never noticed that Alexander has given you and Caesar more than once. Because of his ridiculous obsession with your daughter, Caesar can escape safely after angering him again and again, but you still do n’t Satisfied, you are too attached to the Borgia family, and Alexander is not a Borgia, if you can change it earlier, maybe Caesar will not die, and now you can still sit on your throne safely, but ruined by greed After the Borgia family, when he is completely disappointed with you, all this will inevitably happen. "
With Ruosha's words, Alexander VI's face gradually became difficult to see. Later, his body even shook slightly, which made the followers scared to support him, but was pushed away by Alexander VI.
"Are you saying that all of this is my fault," Rodrigue Borgia smiled strangely, waving his hand in disapproval, and then patting the back of the chair in front of him in a low tone "This is greed, I You can see that kind of greed in Alexander ’s eyes, and you can see it in your eyes. You are really alike. If you are not siblings, I will even think that you are more suitable to be his wife. Lucrezia is not good. That Valenti is not good either. "Alexander VI said with a smile, he didn't seem to notice the strange expression that quickly appeared on Ruosha's face when he heard him, but he still said to himself. You said that Alexander is not a Borgia, but you are wrong, he is a real Borgia, and I can guarantee that no matter what achievements he can have in the future, he can never get rid of him as a Borgia fact."
After speaking, Alexander VI sat around the chair and said to Ruosha with a serious expression: "So now I think I have the right to know what conditions you have made for me," said him. A "naughty" smile appeared. "You know that I bought the Pope's Throne but it cost a lot of money, so I must pay a good price."
Looking at the pope's sly face, Zuosha groaned slightly and sat down. She leaned forward slightly and whispered a number.
The follower who kept recording beside him shook his body after hearing the number, and his quill fell on the table.
On June 20, 1501, after four days of stalemate with the Vatican, the Queen of Naples and the Holy See Cardinals reached an agreement.
In this agreement, the Queen of Naples announced that she still respects the noble status of the Vatican and is willing to provide sufficient protection to the Holy See.
At the same time, the Queen declared Rome a non-occupied city, and the Naples army would be jointly responsible for Rome ’s security and defense.
In order to prove that he did not have the ambition to covet Rome, the Queen of Naples rejected the title of Napoli ’s civil servant, but gave the title to the Pope ’s personal secretary Nomelo who was elected by the cardinal to take up the post.
This decision obviously made many people both surprised and relieved. After all, just thinking about what kind of trouble the queen would cause if he served as a Roman civil servant was enough to make many people secretly shocked. It means that a battle centered around Rome is inevitable.
Just when these agreements were announced, people also discovered some of the strange things, that is, Skop, who played a key role in the entry of the Naples army into Rome, did not seem to have any benefits ~ EbookFREE.me ~ In addition, the unexpected rise of Pope Nomelo's personal secretary made people seem to smell some kind of betrayal and betrayal.
But these are not the most important. The most striking thing in this agreement is about where Pope Alexander VI went.
In the agreement, such a sentence determined the fate of the 214th Roman bishop Alexander Rodrigo Borgia in history: "The Holy Roman Bishop, sent by Christ, walks around the world with the walk of Christ All parishes, preach the gospel. "
When this agreement was announced to the Romans, people were surprised first, and then became very angry.
Many people shouted to punish "the liar of the Vatican". Others even shouted the slogan "Kill all Borgias and cut off the head of Rodrigo."
It was at this time that the Queen of Naples formally proposed to the Cardinals the willingness to buy the coinage of Ladia.
The price of this transaction is 1.3 million florins!
