Conquer the Dawn of Heaven
Vol 6 Chapter 20: The return of Lukrezija
All avenues lead to Rome, but people always hope that when they enter the city, they will enter the famous gate.
The gate of the Great City is counted from the time of the Roman Empire. This gate, which was considered to be built purely to promote the majesty and status of Rome at the time, is still considered to be extravagant even after a full 1000 years. In other words, it is purely a product of excessive display.
It is said that when the Dacheng Gate was first built, it was 6 doors wide and could accommodate 12 horse-drawn carriages at the same time, and the Dacheng Gate was complemented by the straight through the inside and outside, so wide that it made the foreigners who saw it for the first time stunned. Avenue.
The neat boulders paved on Rome ’s avenue into the city are now gone, some of them were used by later conquerors to strengthen the city walls, and some were simply dug out to build houses, but even then sometimes if you are lucky, you can still Seeing one or two surviving traces of long slate, people always lament the fact that the Romans thousands of years ago could build such a brilliant miracle in that era.
"There are many miracles, not only built by Roman talents, and some miracles are often more ancient but more magnificent, which even makes people doubt whether the original people used some unimaginable divine power to complete such a feat." Alexander looked at the large city gate in the distance and said with a little emotion that the Roman city gate is not as grand and magnificent as the original legend, and the 6 gate holes that are rumored to have only three now, but even so The majestic remnants of the tall and thick rows of Roman columns can still be imagined.
"Are you talking about a miracle like the Ark?" Lucrezia asked with interest. As a pope's daughter, she was of course familiar with the biblical scriptures. Whether it is the Old Testament or the New Testament, she can almost be reversible, which also cultivated her She is very critical but quite accurate in appreciating the works of art, so that she can easily find out whether there are any errors or misunderstandings in a religious painting with a large number of complex characters.
"The Ark is just one of them, and there are many things that are completely unexpected." Of course, Alexander will not tell Lucrezia that there are some interesting anecdotes about the origin of the pyramids or some weird buildings found in the New World in later generations may not be human. The almost absurd speculations made, but for the series of countless grand miracles created by the ancients in that backward environment, the current people will always feel unbelievable, just like hundreds of years later, people will The man named Leonardo di Piero da Vinci could have imagined so many strange things in the 16th century.
Uliu should have begun to act, I hope he is all going well, Da Vinci and Passioli, those two real treasures.
Alexander thought about it. He remembered telling Ulliu that if he found that the situation was getting worse, he would have to try to get those two people to Montina, no matter what method he used, but in order not to arouse those two treasures. Uliu has been repeatedly told not to use brutal methods unless it is a last resort, but this is only when things are not urgent. Once it is really urgent, Uliu can use all means. The only thing to guarantee is The safety of those two people must not be lost.
Leonardo da Vinci, a genius that is regarded as a mystery by future generations, and the monk Pacioli is the key to helping this genius realize his many whimsy or make his whimsical imaginations turn into reality. character.
These two people, even if they exchanged with a legion, did not lose money.
But before that, Alexander also told Uliu in the letter, no matter how he first ensured his safety, because "In my opinion, although the two masters have an extraordinary and important role, they still can not and Compared with you, you have to know that you are my assistant and arm. This is not something a master can get. "
The Alexander Conference did not write this out of the desire to buy people's hearts, but it did indeed think that although Da Vinci was a once-in-a-lifetime wizard, he would not have much influence on himself even without him, but if he loses After Uliu, that was an irreparable loss to him.
Aufrei, who led the team in front, suddenly appeared, and Alexander in the carriage heard a shout from Shear, and he couldn't help smiling.
Speaking of this, he is still very satisfied with this Balkan. This person does not have the vulgar manners of other Balkans. The rare thing is that he not only reads and writes words but also has a delicate mind.
Cher would greet Aufrei so loudly and deliberately, of course, not by being idle, but by reminding the two of them in the car, otherwise if the marshal had something urgent, he must see the count immediately, but the count was busy. It ’s too embarrassing to wear clothes.
Alexander knocked on the carriage with his sword handle, and when the carriage stopped, he pushed the car door and went down.
"Sir, Skop's **** officer is here." Seeing Alexander's suspicious look, the army commander had to whisper to remind "the old Mrs. Farne ... well, do you remember?"
"Oh, of course," Alexander nodded immediately. He didn't really forget Skop, but he wondered when he became a sergeant. "I'll tell Lucrezia."
The reason why Alexander wanted to tell Lukrezija about Skop's **** officer was because they were relatives.
Skoop married Julia Farne ’s widowed aunt, and Julia Farne was not only the mistress of Alexander VI but also Lucrezia ’s best girlfriend.
And Alexander ’s impression of Skop is also very deep. This is not only because of Skop ’s terrible luck, but also that this person ’s unreliable personality makes it difficult for him to forget.
"Oh! Earl is really rare."
Sure enough, from afar came Skop's cries of joy, compared with many Roman aristocrats who might have been influenced by too much conspiracy and depravity in the city or the depraved and extravagant atmosphere. Alexander always felt as though Skop was alone in the sunlight.
"It's really rare, the clerk." Alexander looked at the man wearing some retro-style robes and a pair of leather sandals with some curiosity. This person looked as if he had just come from the Roman era. If it was not this His face was fairly familiar, and Alexander really doubted whether it was a remnant of the Roman Empire.
Skop seemed to be accustomed to this look, so he came over and paid tribute to Alexander. When he saw Lucrezia coming off the carriage, he opened his arms in excitement: "Look It ’s a miracle, Dear Roman Princess, you are finally willing to come back. ”
After hearing Skop's ridicule, Lucrezia was a bit shy, and since she was "captive" by Alexander, she has never returned to Rome. For more than a year, she has even forgotten what the city looks like. The bad thing is that if she could explain that she was unwilling before, but then she really couldn't find any excuse to defend herself.
"How is Aunt Nicole? I heard that your daughter is 3 years old." Lucrezia and Skop hugged. "I really miss you, but you know ..."
"I know," Skop waved his hands to make Lukreziya embarrassed. "But your news is really blocked. My daughter is indeed 3 years old, but I am now waiting for the birth of my sixth child."
Hearing this, Lucrezia gave a sigh of joy, and Alexander next to him could not help but glanced at Skop with strange eyes.
Speaking of that, the old widow at Farne ’s house is not too young now. Alexander is very suspicious of what hobby Skop has to be so dying in the old woman.
"It's great that you are back. Your Majesty heard that you were very happy to be near Rome, so I was sent to greet you, and you did not return for a long time. We are family," Skop and Alexander rode and walked briskly. " You need to know that the family should be neat. "
Hearing this, Alexander's face couldn't help but smoke.
Regarding the return of Alexander and Lucrezia, Alexander VI apparently did not want to preach.
In fact, this is really not something to show off, or it does n’t matter if either of the two come back alone, but now the two have returned to Rome together, thinking about the big mess when they left, Even Lucrezia is still the survivor of Giovanni Sforza in name, and their return actually brings more embarrassment to the Pope.
And there are some more important reasons why the pope deliberately didn't want this matter to be too concerned.
That is now their identity is a little too sensitive.
The mother of the Duchess of Pisa, this was not expected by the Pope. This not only disrupted many of the calculations before Alexander VI, but more importantly, he also heard that Alexander actually encouraged his daughter to bring their Daughter openly entered Florence as co-owner!
This made the pope surprised and did not even know what to say.
This incident has caused a great uproar in the Vatican, and the most fiercely opposed is Alexander, the nominal old man, Luo Weilei.
As for the daring act of Alexander, even with the Pope who had always opposed and opposed Old Lovere, he had no idea what attitude he should take towards this matter.
Rome is still so extravagant and degenerate, Alexander even saw a group of prostitutes standing on the road waiting for guests to patronize on the way from the Castel Angel to the cathedral, seeing such a team composed of elite soldiers, those prostitutes Immediately surrounded, they reached out and grabbed the horse reins of the soldiers and cried. Several saw the gorgeous clothes of Alexander and Skop, and even directly pulled off the collar of the clothes, revealing either full or shriveled breasts. Tempt these two lords who obviously can afford a bigger price.
Lucrezia uttered a disgusted whisper in the car. She was not really disgusted with these women, but she could not see them daring to lure Alexander.
Schell urged the horse to drive away the women in the past, but when he saw Alexander's gaze kept sweeping the prostitutes, seemingly looking for a satisfactory target, the Balkans immediately quietly pulled the horse to hide.
"Why, are you interested in these women?" Skop whispered. "Will I arrange a crazy night for you."
"Thank you, clerk," Alexander said with a smirk. His eyes kept patrolling the women, and then his brows gradually wrinkled. "Aufrei."
"Sir." The commander of the army led the horse.
"Tell our soldiers that they are forbidden to interact with these prostitutes. I do n’t object if someone wants to vent, but they have to go farther away, or go to the countryside to have fun. I ’m willing to pay for them, but If anyone dares to fool around with these prostitutes, I will hang him and whip, and then drive out of my army. "Talking to Alexander, he stretched his hand and poked" Boom "on the clean and reflective breastplate of Auflei. "Remember me, you personally supervise this matter. If something goes wrong, I will ask you."
The commander-in-chief nodded, but he did n’t quite understand why the adults were so fussed, but maybe it ’s because of the nervousness among the few women who have been worrying about it recently. Can secretly shake his head.
But the order is the order, and Aufrei immediately turned around and ran to the front team. He could clearly feel that the adult obviously attached great importance to this matter, not just talking about it.
Skop looked at Alexander curiously and then a few prostitutes nearby. He didn't understand why Alexander had issued such an order. If he was an ascetic, but as long as he looked at him, he was as colorful as any nobleman. Life knows how ridiculous this is, or is he simply looking down on these inferior prostitutes?
But Skop didn't understand why he even prohibited his men from getting these women.
"Official Baomin, if you don't want to spend the rest of your life in pain, I suggest you stay away from these women too," Alexander said to Skop, who had some good feelings about the mercenary of this old woman, so he didn't want to watch him Because ignorance is stuck in a terrible quagmire.
Those prostitutes are infected with syphilis!
From the moment Columbus discovered the new continent, the world opened a completely strange and vibrant door to Europeans.
But not all New World is full of goodwill, and Columbus brought back not only pepper and gold, but also syphilis.
This terrible disease has not been recognized so far, but the terrible contagion has caused people to panic. Especially for Europeans, the shadow of the Black Death still lingers even after so long. Now this terrible disease is rushing from the New World to Europe along with those ocean-going cargo ships full of wealth.
This terrible and repulsive illness has not yet fully demonstrated its power, but Alexander knows that this is just a brief calm before the outbreak, and soon a plague sweeping Europe and even the more distant Asian continent is about to lift. The prologue begins, and in Rome, the torture suffered by the extreme depravity is even more terrible.
Alexander looked at the prostitutes along the way. This was the first time he paid close attention to them. What surprised him was that the Vatican, as a holy place, had so many amazing prostitutes.
"This is really a degenerate capital." Alexander couldn't help but sigh. At this time, he could understand why even Caesar was unavoidable because he was syphilis and his appearance was ruined. In such a place, it is really very good to clean oneself hard.
Alexander glanced at the distant Aufrei, he felt that it was necessary to strengthen the control of the army in a more severe or even cruel way, otherwise they might have been completely destroyed in the crazy depraved carnival before the enemy arrived. Too.
Fortunately, although watching the street prostitutes, many soldiers have shown their spirits, but the fear of the ears still has the upper hand. With the continuous orders of Aufrei, the soldiers have to remain neat and tidy. The queue squinted and walked along the street towards Sistins Cathedral.
"You have to watch them." Alexander looked at the team in front of him and wondered, he knew that it was really not easy to see such a group of energetic men. This made him think that maybe he should think about something else to distract these people. .
Lucrezia leaned out of the car door. She looked nervously and expectantly at the familiar streets, buildings, and others that she could recognize from time to time as she got closer to the cathedral. Some faintly familiar faces.
And all the people who saw her were looking at Lucrezia in the carriage with weird eyes.
At the beginning, Alexander's scene of robbing her in front of Caesar was still vivid. Even today, this matter is still a topic of chatting by many Romans, but now Lukrezija has come back suddenly, and except for her, Alexander , And one of their children.
This has made many people ready to watch a good show. As Lucrezia ’s carriage turned along the edge of the main square to the path leading to the Portico Palace, many people who heard the wind could not wait to wait for something. What kind of dramatic development will happen.
Portico Palace is still so magnificent, the intoxicating fragrance floats in the small but very quiet garden, and the curtains in the Romanesque dome pavilion at the corner of the garden swing with the wind, it seems that its owner has just been in it. Sleep soundly.
The path leading from the gate to the front of the palace was spotlessly clean, and the two rows of exquisite Roman mythological figure sculptures on both sides of the path were also shining in the sun. Obviously, there were often people cleaning here, and they were not neglected because of the departure of the hostess. .
The carriage had not stopped yet, Lucrezia had rushed out of the car, and she hurried towards the gate of the Portico Palace under her feet. At this time, Lucrezia even forgot Alexander and her daughter.
The gate of Portico Palace was already open, and it was the pair of mother-in-law and mistress of Alexander VI who stood on the steps.
Mrs. Adriana de Mira looks slightly different than before, but Julia Farne is still radiant. When the carriage entered the yard, she had quickly stepped down the steps and saw Lucrezia, who came off the bus, greeted her immediately, and the two beautiful young ladies embraced tightly on the path in the middle of the garden.
"Julia, we finally met again, do you know how much I miss you!" Lucrezia screamed nonstop, and even jumped up regardless of the image to hug Julia Farne tightly of.
"I know, because I have been thinking of you too, my little Lucrezia, you must have suffered a lot during this time, and that Gombré must be tormenting you non-stop to see how you are now," said As Julia Farne let loose Lucrezia and looked at her, then she exclaimed, "Look at what you are wearing, people who don't know think you are barbarous Stayed in the country for a long time. "
Listening to Julia Farne ’s exaggerated tone, Alexander, who was following, could not help but glanced at her, and then he suddenly stepped forward and took Lucrezia ’s arm to take her from Julia Farne. Take away.
"I'm sorry, Madam, we still have to see His Majesty the Pope." Alexander said to the somewhat stunned Julia, and then he took Lucrezia to Mrs. Adriana de Mila, who was standing on the steps and watching them quietly. Go.
"lady."
Alexander bowed slightly, and treated Alexander ’s nanny, teacher and guardian a lot better than her daughter-in-law, even though Madame de Mila suddenly saw that she did not speak at all. He pulled away from him, and then stared at him like a hen protecting the chicks, but Alexander only smiled slightly and did not show dissatisfaction.
"Count, I think you should consider whether you should walk into this house," Madame de Mila wrapped her arms around Lucrezia to protect her in her arms, then stared at Alexander and said, "You should remember you How much shame has been brought to the Borgia family by knowing that Lucrezia was Giovanni Sforza ’s wife until now, but you actually did the kind of thing that harmed her reputation , Are you not afraid of being retaliated against by the Borgia family? "
Looking at Mrs. De Mila, who is quite imposing, and then look at Lukrezija, who suddenly became timid because she has been accustomed to following her teachings all year round under the nurturing of this lady. Moved backwards.
A clear "Mom" came from the carriage behind ~ www.wuxiaspot.com ~ As the door opened, the maid walked out of the car holding Estrez.
Everyone's eyes were instantly focused on Estrez, listening to her daughter's cry, Lucrezia disappeared without a trace because of the awe of Mrs. De Mila that she had cultivated all the year round. Immediately broke away from his wife's protection, and then quickly walked up to embrace her daughter in her arms.
"Madam, you asked me if I was afraid of the revenge of the Borgia family. Now I can tell you that I dared to walk into this house not relying on my army and guards, but on more powerful weapons," Alexander reached out and put Lukeray Zia's mother and daughter embraced her. "Me and Lucretia's daughter Estelles, the only grandson of His Majesty the Pope."
The look on Mrs. De Mila's face was completely frozen at this moment. She stared at the three people hugging each other in front of her, and suddenly felt that the young mother in front of her was no longer the obedient girl she was familiar with. .
"This is really a terrible weapon," a voice suddenly came from the gate of the Portico Palace. As the figure flashed, Pope Alexander VI came out slowly, and Lucrezia rushed into him excitedly In his arms, Alexander VI crossed Lucrezia ’s shoulders and stared at Alexander and said, “But now I ’m curious to know how you use this weapon.”
