Conquer the Dawn of Heaven
Vol 7 Chapter 152: "My dear sister, Sicily has opened her arms to you"
Isabella and Ferdinand's daughter Juana are known as "crazy Juana". In many records about her in later generations, she was described as a grumpy personality, hysterical, even crazy with serious mental illness woman.
But in Alexander's view, Juana's only fault was that she loved the wrong person.
Her love for Philip was single-minded and very serious. The only thing she wanted was that Philip could love her like she did.
This requirement is not excessive, but for Juana it has become a luxury.
Moreover, her single-minded feelings are not understood by others. People even think that she is making trouble unreasonably, or simply that she has a brain problem.
Her husband, parents, and everyone around her told her in a positive tone that she was wrong.
Over and over again, the denial of her feelings echoed in her ears day after day made Juana more and more suspicious.
Even so, she never doubted her feelings for Philip.
Juana is tragic. Her tragedy lies in her identity and falling in love with someone who was not originally worth her.
Looking at the wary young woman in front of him, Alexander couldn't help feeling, he knew how much damage he was doing to her, and also knew that if this continued, her destiny would be as miserable as history.
But there is no other way for him. Juana is a solid stumbling block in front of him. Whether legally or in reality, Juana has become an inescapable hurdle because of its special status.
Emperor Maximian was an ambitious man who had bad luck in the first half of his life. He tried several times to establish a strong alliance with his marriage but failed repeatedly, so in the end he retreated to pursue the use of his children in the second half of his life. The marriage established a fairly stable blood dynasty.
After years of hard work, Maximian succeeded, and the gradually established dynasty of the Habsburg family is slowly affecting the entire European continent.
Marrying his son Philip and Juana is a very important move for him, so Alexander knew that even if Ferdinand did not put Juana under house arrest later, and then controlled Castilla, Philip would firmly grasp his wife and wait until After the death of the short-lived Austrian prince, his son Charles V will continue to imprison Juana in the castle until she finally leaves the world.
Juana is such a woman full of tragedy. Her life has been used by her father, husband and son. They have tortured her spirit and body mercilessly, and the only spiritual pillar she can survive is almost obsessed with Philip. Love.
"As I said, at least I can make the prince less painful."
Alexander was so promised. His words immediately made Juana feel relieved. Although she still seemed a little skeptical, she obviously felt that this should be good news.
"I remember your Duke, I saw you in Valladolid," Juana immediately had a good impression of him because of Alexander's promise. This mindless attitude made Alexander secretly ashamed, but He knew that as long as Castile ’s heir to the throne, Juana ’s life was destined to be calm and unharmed, as long as Maximilian sent people to Castille more than once after Philip ’s death Ya, asking for the public announcement of his grandson as the legal heir of Castile as soon as possible can see how hot Anna is in their hearts.
"Can I know what method you should use to treat the prince's disease?" Juana asked with some consternation. She had found many doctors since Philip's illness, but no matter what kind of method and how skilled the doctor is All of them are helpless to this terrible strange disease, which has made Juana gradually lose hope. Now the duke suddenly told her that he can cure the prince ’s disease, which makes Juana feel upset in joy.
"Maybe there will be some pain, but at least it is better than now," Alexander followed Juana upstairs. When they came to the door of a room, they stopped and listened to the groaning of pain in the room. Alexander whispered to Juana, "I can make the prince feel better, but it's up to you to decide what to do next."
"Do you want me to do anything?" Juana was a little wary and hungry for Alexander. The influence she had received over the years did not make her completely forget what she learned because she put all her thoughts on her husband. She soon Realize what conditions this person clearly put forward.
"You are in Toledo now, so it is the aristocratic parliament that sets you up. As long as you calmly talk to them, as for the prince, you can rest assured that I will try to reduce his pain."
"Just to reduce the pain?" A trace of disappointment flashed on Juana's face. "Those people, I mean the Toledo, they promised to cure Philip's disease, because of this, I promised to come with them. Now you tell me Let him reduce his pain, how can I believe you? "
Alexander didn't answer. His eyes looked at the closed door, listening to the painful voice from Philip inside, and he looked at Juana silently.
Despair appeared on Juana ’s face. She was obviously frightened by the pain and groaning inside. She closed her ears with her hands and shook her head helplessly. It seemed that she would not have to face the terrible scene.
Alexander gently raised his hand and tried to lift Juana's hands away from her ear. Then he ignored the princess's stunned expression because of the offense and reached out and pushed open the door.
There is a big bed in the middle of the room, and the thick curtains hold the bed tightly. There are a lot of pungent spices around the bed, but these precious spices can not hide the scent that still smells. stench.
Alexander went directly to the bed and lifted the curtain, then saw the body that was no longer human in the bed.
Or it should be said that this is just a decaying body. The original handsome and beautiful face can no longer see the original look. The liquid slowly flowing from an ugly hole in the middle of the face flows down the cheek to the pillow. It was originally a tall, straight nose, but now there is nothing but a raised nose bone wrapped in rotten meat in the middle.
"He looks so painful, as long as he can make him feel better." Huan Na picked up a towel, carefully wiped out the abscess on Philip's face, then she took a cup from the side and carefully took the water Pour into her husband's scarred lips.
"Let my people take care of him, they know what to do, and all you have to do is satisfy the council."
Alexander reminded Juana very clearly that when he saw Don Julio Mando who was standing behind and looking at him at the door, Alexander gave him a slight gesture.
Don Julio Mando immediately walked in. He first saluted Juana, and then could not wait to tell her everything he asked her to do.
During this period, Juana ’s gaze had not left Philip in bed, and she interrupted the chief veteran more than once, just to ask Alexander if she could cure the prince immediately.
Alexander asked his followers to come over and check with Philip. The follower, who looks like a doctor, is indeed a medical officer among the Balkans, but most of his work is done by amputation and using a red hot strip to stop bleeding. His mission, in his medical career, he cut off the limbs of the patient, no less than those on the battlefield with the enemy white knife into the red knife out of the companion.
But this time, the medical officer did not need to show his talents. He just had to stir some of the powder and honey and purple onion juice that he had prepared earlier, and then pour it into the patient's mouth.
"What is that?" Juana's uneasy portion, the smell of the potion smelled very bad, and she noticed that Philip, who was already terrible, suddenly breathed more quickly after taking the potion.
"He looks normal now, and he will sleep a little later."
Alexander blocked Juana, watching Philip's body tremble slightly on the bed, his expression calmed down, so that it was completely unrecognizable that he was also very nervous.
In this era, there is no medicine that can cure syphilis. Those who can survive are actually relying on their stronger body or stronger immunity than others, although some doctors claim to find a cure for this after many years. The method of romantic disease, but until there is an effective method, syphilis has been an incurable terminal illness.
Alexander once wondered how Caesar survived this terrible disease, but when he discovered that Giovanni was also suffering from this stubborn disease, he was eventually killed by an assassination rather than a virus attack. People who can sigh the Borgia family are really excellent.
But Philip obviously did not have such a strong physique, so after his infection, the virus quickly spread throughout the body. Alexander even remembered that some doctors who described the prince ’s illness later wrote: "We do n’t know what kind of disease this is, more I have n’t seen such a terrible appearance, so when people see the princess kissing the prince ’s rotten, smelly sore, many people even secretly vomit. "
However, Alexander knew that there were still some ways to temporarily delay the spread of syphilis in the human body in this era. Although it cannot be completely cured and the harm to patients is greater, it is enough for them now.
Arsenic is a terrible poison, but from an early age, the ancients knew that taking a very small amount of arsenic properly can effectively curb some of the evils.
In Europe, some people used arsenic to treat people at an early time. Although ten people would hang nine of them, but with the rich experience of using arsenic dosage, this method is not very reliable. Something worked.
Especially when it is not necessary to consider the greater harm that may be caused to the patient later, the treatment method using trace arsenic plays a greater role.
For Don Julio Mando, this is now the case, he only needs Juana ’s obedient cooperation. As for Philip, for the nobles of Toledo, the Austrian prince may have died better.
Looking at the pile of documents brought by the chief veteran, Juana only hesitated to pick up the pen for a short time, and she signed her name carefully, but her eyes did not leave her lying. Husband on the bed.
The use of arsenic remedies can cause a certain amount of pain for patients, and this is why Alexander made people add a lot of tranquilizer drugs when preparing powder.
Doctor Balkan didn't know what he was doing. He just had to mix the potions according to the instructions of the Duke, and then add some condiments he thought he needed.
What surprises Juana a little is that I do n’t know if it ’s an illusion. She feels that her husband ’s face has become flushed after drinking the potion, and the skin that was so terrible at first seems to have recovered a little vitality, which makes her unhappy Immediately kneeling on the ground to thank God for the gift, she then extended her hands to Alexander and held her tightly to express her gratitude.
Looking at the joyful look of "Cousin", Alexander sighed secretly. He saw Don Julio Mando impatiently coloring him, knowing that he should have got what he wanted, even though Juan Anna personally The participation in the coronation ceremony has not yet been determined, but the documents autographed by her have been obtained, which is enough to satisfy the chief veteran.
After leaving the Balkan doctor in the house, Alexander and Don Julio Mando left Juana ’s house and looked back at the small stone building that seemed to be solid. Alexander suddenly sighed: "This is a Isn't the poor woman? "
"She is the princess of Castile." Don Julio Mando just glanced back and ignored it. He was clutching the leather bags with the authorization documents signed by Juana in excitement. On the face of Yue Ran, "we have mastered Juana, and then we can, together with Andalucia's Don Bavi, put forward conditions to Bariari Dodd."
Speaking of this, the chief elder quickly glanced at Alexander, and he suddenly felt that the noble council had planned to support Enrique's daughter Juana's calculations by mistake, which made them almost offend Alexander VI.
Fortunately, they soon changed their minds and made up the rift with the pope. Now that they have mastered Juana, they have formed an alliance with Don Bavi. If they get the pope and another Juana who is far away in Portugal Support, then the couple in Bariaridot was not so terrible.
This idea made the chief veteran's emotions soaring, and he even had some eagerness to immediately show Isabella their powerful strength.
It was just at this time that a news that overwhelmed the Toledo nobles suddenly broke their dreams.
Don Bavi suddenly announced that he was willing to accept the negotiation proposal previously proposed by Queen Isabella, and he had sent a few weighty Andalusian nobles to Barialado to negotiate.
This news was not just an accident for the Toledo nobles, it was not an exaggeration to say that it was a thunderbolt.
From the beginning of the Andalusian nobles' formation of the coalition to carry out the rebellion, the nobles of Toledo have expressed their support for them, and the noble parliament is unabashedly on the side of the coalition. All this is due to the violation of the rights of the traditional aristocracy established by the Isabella couple.
But suddenly, the Andalusians abandoned them, and then Don Bavey announced without any warning that he was willing to negotiate with Isabella. This change instantly hit Don Julio Mando, who thought the situation was good. stunned.
In fact, even Isabella never understood why Don Bavi chose to accept negotiations under such a favorable situation for him, although in the long run this was an inevitable result, but Isabella vaguely felt he would do This decision was made because of what happened that forced him to make such a change.
Alexandria certainly knows the reason for this change of Don Bavey.
Don Barvey should have known the disappearance of Sister Alfred. For him, no matter who robbed Sister Alfred, it means that they have discovered his purpose.
At the same time, the disappearance of Sister Alft also means that he has lost the biggest trump card in his hand, which is undoubtedly a fatal blow to Dumbawi.
Even if I do n’t think about marrying the nun and getting the throne in the future, is it just such a bargaining chip that has preceded Juana ’s inheritance, that is enough for Tang Bawei to occupy a huge initiative, he can use this to bargain with Isabella, and He also believed that when Isabella knew about the existence of Sister Alft, he was bound to have some scruples about him.
But now this chip is gone, and how unwise it is against the Queen with great prestige, he should also be very clear.
At least those Andalusian nobles never thought of overthrowing Isabella ’s rule. Now, because of losing the most important chip in his hand, Tumbawi has to consider easing relations with Isabella ~ www.wuxiaspot .com ~ But this is not good for you, is it? In the room of the Gantt Palace, the Pope who sent away his servants asked Alexander. "If Don Bavey surrenders, it will only make Isabella's reputation even higher." "
"In fact I have never considered Don Bavey's rebellion, and you know that the Castilian nobles will also be my enemies in the future." Alexander said disapprovingly "and you think that Sicily and Aragon Why was the waterway suddenly attacked by pirates at this time? "
Seeing how the Pope seemed to understand, Alexander nodded: "Your Majesty, there is no coincidence in the world. If there is, it is only because no one has discovered the subtleties."
In October 1501, the Aragonese fleet set off towards the north coast of Africa.
Almost at the same time, Zuosha, who had just returned to Naples, received a secret letter from Iberia.
There was only a short sentence in the letter: "My dear sister, Sicily has opened her arms to you."
