Conquer the Dawn of Heaven

Vol 3 Chapter 8: Romans

The Archbishop of Genoa Giuliano de la Rovere was a **** in his early years.

Relying on the power of the uncle who was already the cardinal at the time, Giuliano was impressed. In his hometown of Albiso, he was more rampant in the town, and he meant a little bit of evil.

But perhaps it was really inspired by God. When everyone thought he would be so mixed up in his life, Giuliano suddenly turned back at the age of 22.

Not only did he obey his uncle's arrangement very well and began to perform the priestly work he was granted when he was born, but also quickly rose all the way through the power of his uncle and his family. He even became the bishop of the church at the age of 25, and less than 2 years later became the archbishop of the diocese of Genoa.

Such brilliant achievements, of course, are inseparable from the family forces, but it can also be seen that the original swingman of the Luo Weilei family is indeed very unusual.

After becoming the archbishop, this young bishop, regarded by the Luo Weilei family as the family's hope for the future, began to realize his seemingly distant great goal.

Unlike other clergy, Giuliano de la Rovere is keen on military, or war.

He has performed the power of the army commander more than once in the name of the military bishop, and personally led the army to launch an expedition against the enemy, especially in the early years, a counterattack against the Ottoman invasion established his status and also allowed his uncle Sick Stuart IV took the opportunity to introduce this rising star in the family to the Holy See.

The uncle is the pope, and the nephew is also a high-weight cardinal in the archdiocese. The Loveley family is unique for a time.

But this scenery soon attracted jealousy and even hatred.

Among them is the famous Borgia family, who is in tandem with Luo Weilei's family.

In the view of the Borgia family, who had passed the archbishops of Valencia and a pope, the Lovere family undoubtedly had a huge obstacle in Rome.

From the day when the Polynesian family came to Rome from Valencia, there was an open battle between the two families. No matter who was sitting on the pope ’s throne, they were pondering how to get the other side from above. pull down.

In the battle for the later Pope's throne and various other conflicts, the opposition became increasingly fierce, and the Lovere and Pogia families became mortal enemies.

From the beginning of the dismantling of each other to the opening of hostility, to the actual assassination of each other to eliminate the important members of the other family, the city of Rome was full of various intrigues and shadows of daggers and poisons.

This kind of battle was finally crowned by Alexander VI, which declared the victory of the Pogia family and the fiasco of the Loviré family.

However, although the hatreds are tumbling, the two families have similar similarities.

That's the life of the extravagant desperation.

Alexander VI was famous for his many mistresses. As a pope, he not only publicly acknowledged his **** children, but also supported them to seize and seize power.

As an old opponent of Alexander VI, Giuliano de la Rovere was not inferior.

He also has great wealth, and also has more than one lover. Although he did not support his illegitimate children as openly as Alexander VI, he is well known for their love.

Among them, one of his favorite sons is Constantine de la Rovere.

Alexander thought of these rumors and anecdotes he had heard earlier and later, and wondered why the people of the Rovere family suddenly appeared in Rome.

After the coronation of Alexander VI, the first thing he did was to send someone to remove his old rival Giuliano de la Rovere. If it were n’t for chance, he would have escaped quickly. The future Julius II It may have turned into a pile of dead bones.

In order to avenge his vengeance, Loveley simply gritted his teeth to build a good relationship with the French people as a bishop of the French parish in his early years, and ran to France as a lead party.

Even in the eyes of many people, the invasion of Italy by Charles VIII is not unrelated to the encouragement of Giuliano de la Rovere.

It ’s just that if the French win a big victory, the Rovere family can naturally return to Rome as a winner, but now the main force of the French army that is fighting the coalition is not only losing ground, but even when the city of Rome is surrounded by the coalition, Rovere The family suddenly returned to Rome, which is really strange.

Constantine is undoubtedly a very beautiful young man, which makes Alexander feel different from his father.

Alexander once saw a portrait of Giuliano who later became Pope.

The pope on the canvas was already very old at the time, but even the eyes of Julius II described by the painter still showed courage and firmness, and his half-fisted fists seemed to be silently showing to people The majesty of the famous name "Pope of the God of War".

But now Constantine seemed to be a little arrogant, especially when Joanna first signaled him to stand up, and then handed over to him to kiss, the young Luo Weilei even immediately knelt down again, holding up the queen's skirt Can't stop kissing.

This immediately caused a stir from the maids around Joanna, some screaming for excitement, and others pretending to be rash and unreasonable, but deliberately smiling.

And Joanna seemed to be a little surprised by this move, and then she stopped the noise of the maids first, and then generously forgave the young man.

"Although you are indeed unreasonable, in the face of the Archbishop, I can forgive you for this behavior, but do not have it for the second time," Joanna shook her head, and then showed a slightly dull look "because Your compliment should not be given to a new widow, it will only deepen my sins. "

"Your Majesty, you are wrong to say so," Constantine retorted loudly. He didn't seem to care about the refutation of a queen. "My respect for you is entirely out of my own feelings. Of course, you have the right not to accept or even Rebuke me, but you have no right to stop my admiration for you. And if you regard this admiration as your own fault, I absolutely cannot tolerate it. "

"Have you heard this, this dude is flirting with the queen," Carlo said dumbfoundedly. He looked at Alexander in disbelief, and saw the faint smile in the corner of Alexander's mouth. The hunter shook his head helplessly. "This person is crazy." Now. "

"Don't you know, Rome is the place where lunatics can stay," Alexander laughed and patted Carlo's shoulder, walked across the line and walked in front of the two. "Your Majesty, we'll go into the city as soon as possible. I'm worried that the French might Will be in trouble. "

Constantine seemed slightly unhappy. The young knight clearly had confidence in himself, so Alexander's words made him feel that he was questioning his authority.

"Your Majesty, please be assured that as long as I follow you, the French will no longer harass your team," Constantine said seriously. "I guarantee with the reputation of the Rovere family, you will be all the way in Rome. "

Joanna looked carefully at the young man in front of her, with a hint of hesitation flashing in her eyes.

Although Constantine's commitment reassured her slightly, Joanna was somewhat uncomfortable.

The dignity of being the Queen of Naples did not allow her to accept such a declaration of protection, which made her feel that she was really disqualified, but the beautiful young man in front of him did not hate it, and what he said was also true. Joanna could I felt his weight in the French, which she couldn't do.

Although the French may not dare to hurt her, Joanna really doesn't want to encounter the kind of embarrassment that has been blocked by others from time to time.

"So then." The queen deliberately made her voice sound with some majesty to cover up the hidden loss in her heart, then she turned and boarded the carriage.

Constantine bowed and saluted until Joanna's figure disappeared, then straightened up, and then he looked at Alexander.

"I've seen you," Constantine said with a sudden smile. "Outside the city of Rome, I've seen you talk to teacher Fischer."

Alexander nodded, but he did not expect the young man to be honest, and then guessed that he should be in the carriage behind Fischer.

"I heard something about you," Constantine went on. "Especially, I heard that you just played a victory in the Bruini Valley some time ago, and taught the arrogant Frenchmen."

Hearing this, Alexander glanced at Constantine in surprise.

The Battle of the Bruini Valley has passed for several days. If the communication between the French is not too bad, it should be known.

But Constantine looked like this, but it made Alexander a little strange.

As a stubborn traitor, a member of the ruling party family, this young man not only did not show unhappiness and hostility when he talked about this matter, but even a little bit of gloating, this is not quite normal.

"The French always think that our people are vulnerable," Constantine waved his hand in a contemptuous gesture. "I have already shown them how powerful I am in the duel in Loire, whether it is horse riding or walking, I have defeated all the challengers, and now you are doing well too, at least those French buns are good at seeing us. "

Constantine said to beckon, let his brother bring the horse over, then he turned his horse and turned his head to say to Alexander: "If you have time, you can tell me about the fighting in the Bruini Valley, let me also listen Listen to how the arrogant Frenchmen were beaten. "

After he finished, he slammed his stirrups with his feet, and as the war horse hissed, the mount rushed forward.

Clermont followed him quickly, but as he passed by, Clermont looked back at Alexander deeply.

"Master, what shall we do?" Carlo asked, looking at the queen's team behind him.

"I don't think we'll have any more trouble next," Alexander smiled slightly, unlike Carlo, he didn't care about Constantine stealing the limelight, or he thought it might be a good thing. "Go tell the queen's followers and let them keep up. We will get to Bishop Monteiro as soon as possible."

Pihno Avenue is a very spacious street in the southeast of Rome. This street connects several of the largest main roads of Rome in the east and the west. It is the oldest huge market with the famous Europe in later generations. famous.

However, although the market on Pihno Street is quite large, what really makes this street famous is the two ends of the street, each with a Franciscan and Dominican church, So this street is also called Shuangchaojie Street.

The bishop of Monteiro is a member of the Franciscans.

However, unlike in the early years, advocating poverty and quietness was calm and plain, more and more Franciscan members have long forgotten the original intention of their first ancestors when they established a small brotherhood, and luxury is their most current convention. At least for the bishop of Monteiro, it is an unimaginable day without enough rich food and wine every day. As for the absurd thing that it was considered to be a luxury to have a cane in the early years, it has already been counted by various people. Unclear magnificent vestments and precious stones piled up in the dust of time.

When Joanna and his entourage entered Pihno Street, there was a little commotion. Although there were many nobles who often visited the church, the queen's appearance was still eye-catching.

This made Joanna find some face, especially after sending someone to inform the church of the arrival of Queen Naples, and watching the guards who quickly reported after hearing the news, Joanna was a little bit more comfortable.

What made Joanna even happier was that it didn't take long for a priest to hurried out of the church. When she knew that this man was the priest of the diocese of Monteiro, Joanna finally smiled with satisfaction.

"At least there won't be any uncomfortable things here ~ www.wuxiaspot.com ~ Joanna whispered to her attendant maid when she was preparing before entering the church with the priest," I've had enough before. "

"Your Majesty, God will bless you." The waitress kissed Joanna's back.

Joanna felt much better immediately. She looked up at the towering church before her eyes. Before stepping up, she said to Alexander who had been standing aside:

"You have completed your task, Gombray of Agri, as for your reward, you can find my manager," Speaking of this, Joanna groaned slightly and continued, "I am very grateful for your bravery along the way, maybe in the future I will still need you. "

"This is my honor, Your Majesty."

Looking at the queen's back, Alexander smiled.

Joanna's "key" opened the door to Rome for him.

Alexander didn't know that when he looked at Joanna's back, there was a person in the chaotic bazaar who also looked at him from afar. To find this site, please search for "" or enter the URL:
