Conquer the Dawn of Heaven

Vol 6 Chapter 157: "Roman King"

Alexander did not see Caesar when he came to the Sistine Chapel. This is of course because he deliberately avoided this encounter that made everyone more awkward.

Seeing Alexandria, the Pope did not show any special expression. He still calmly asked about the old Rovere. When I heard that Caesar ’s little Papal army, except for those who participated in the rebellion, the other After being disarmed, Alexander VI did not show displeasure. On the contrary, he was slightly relieved.

"I don't need them," Alexander VI said in a low voice. "They are a burden to me. They can't do anything except consume my money."

Listening to the Pope ’s complaint, Alexander did n’t say anything, because he knew it was n’t really what the old man said.

Alexander VI had a very persistent idea of ​​building an army that belonged to the Papal State, or to be more precise, belonged to the Borgia dynasty, and he did do this in history. Caesar relied on this small scale But the very tough army once made waves in central Italy. After Alexander VI died unexpectedly, he still led that army to continue to fight the battle everywhere. If it was not later, Louis XII found him more and more difficult to control, but also Realizing that he seemed to be trying to collude with Aragon secretly and stopped supporting him, and even acquiesced in the encirclement and suppression of him by the Italian nobles, maybe he would do more unexpected things.

But even so, as long as you recall the series of places where Caesar relied on that army to conquer, you can see that the strength of this Papal army cannot be underestimated, and if there is no full support of Alexander VI, Caesar cannot So many amazing things can be done.

So Alexander did not answer after listening to the Pope, but let Nomelo whisper a few words.

Nomelo stood up and bowed a little after a deep contemplation.

Watching the secretary's figure disappear outside the door, when the door closed, Alexander VI spit out a sullen sulking in his chest.

"I have done what you requested," the pope said in a weak, tired tone. "I only hope you can abide by the agreement between us, and Alexander. You will not forget, Caesar is more than my son. , Or Lucrezia ’s brother. "

"But you know he didn't regard me as his family," Alexander was unimpressed. He knew that it was indeed the weakest time of Alexander VI, but if he thought it was because of this he seemed to have been hit hard. It would be a big mistake if he would fail, Alexander could be sure who would die if he thought so, maybe he would n’t know how to die next. “He has been targeting me more than once. As far as I know, he not only wants to kill me but also He wanted to seize my territory and he colluded with the French. I think he might even want to murder my daughter if possible. "

"Caesar won't do this!" Alexander VI refuted loudly, but looking at Alexander's blinking eyes, the pope's tone finally softened a little. "I won't allow him to murder my granddaughter, you know what I do to my family Feelings, I will not let this happen. "

"But you still watch him murder me."

"What can I do? He is my son!" Alexander VI yelled angrily, but then waved his hands helplessly. "Aren't we a family, Caesar is being punished for his mistakes, believe him after this time You will know what to do. All you can do is give him a chance. "

"I have given him a chance, and more than once," Alexander stood up and looked down at the tired pope. "So this time I do not intend to forgive him. He must take responsibility for what he has done, and you It should be known that this is actually for his own good, otherwise I cannot guarantee that I will not cut off his head by hand next time. "

What Alexander VI had to say, but he could not speak for a long time, he knew that Caesar really angered Alexander, and think that Alexander specifically proposed to imprison him in Earl not far from the Tuscany coast On the island of Ba, the Pope could feel Alexander ’s already irresistible anger and determination to avenge Caesar.

"You promised that I would not hurt him," Alexander VI had to try to impress Alexander with compromise. "I have also promised that you will not try to rescue him. He will stay on that island for a long time until You think he no longer poses a threat to you, I am enough to compensate for his fault. "

Alexander was silent for a moment, watching the pope look up at his hungry eyes, Alexander ’s lips tightened slightly, and then nodded: "Okay, I promise you, but during this time Caesar must be under my supervision. Next, I will send someone to guard him on the island until he really no longer becomes a trouble. "

Seeing Alexander finally relieved, the Pope exhaled.

Although Alexander had previously agreed to use captivity in exchange for punishment for Caesar, then he should no longer threaten Caesar ’s life, but this does not mean that he was completely forgiven, so Caesar ’s life on Elba Island should not be It will be better, now Alexander can agree to his request again in person, stating that at least during this period of detention, Alexander will not be able to live with Caesar.

"What about Rovere?"

After confirming Caesar's security, the pope's expression immediately became deeper. At this time, he was the one who divided the world in two with a pope meridian and formulated the future colonial rules for the two maritime powers of Iberia. That Alexander VI was.

"Constantine's army has already set off," said the thoughtful face of Alexander's face. "I believe he will soon capture Forli."

"That Luo Weilei really took the opportunity to say the conditions," Alexander VI whispered, and he glanced at Alexander with a slightly suspicious question. "Tell me this is not the idea you gave him. Use Occupy Forli in exchange for Caesar." Forgiveness? "

"Of course not. You forgot to let others occupy Foley is obviously not a good thing."

"Yes, if it is replaced by your occupation, the whole of Rome will be cut off from you." Alexander VI nodded.

When hearing about the conditions for the exchange of Caesar's security proposed by Old Rovere, Alexander VI was not only surprised but also angry. Although Foley seemed to be a small place in eastern Italy, the occupation of it meant that the Italian peninsula was vaguely controlled. A large coastal area on the east side of the Adriatic Sea, and because it can go all the way to the area controlled by Venice along the coastline to the north, and connects the southern Italian area to the south, Forli is very important to say .

It's just that Alexander VI didn't expect that Old Rovere would so shamelessly request Forli, after all, it is Katerina Sforza, the famous tigress of the Sforza family, who now rules Forli.

Because of the hatred of the French, the Sforza family is still an ally of Old Rovere, but this obviously does not prevent the old Rovere from taking the opportunity to seek Forli ’s determination for his son, and now the old Rovere is obviously ready to take advantage of Sforza The family was too busy to help their relatives, so they decided to take advantage of this rare advantage.

"Just if that's the case, it seems that your Romagna and Tuscany can't completely cover the whole of central Rome," Pope's voice was low, and when he saw Alexander looking at him, the pope waved his hand as if he just spoke casually. It ’s like “But it ’s okay, after all, it ’s just a narrow place, and it ’s not a big impact on you.”

Listening to the Pope ’s words, Alexander just smiled. He knew that Alexander VI obviously did n’t want to let go of any opportunity that might provoke the contradictions and suspicions between him and Old Rovere. Although it was a little deliberate, when Old Rovere proposed to use possession When Foley made the condition, Alexander was indeed surprised and a little weird.

It was Caesar who defeated the Foley tigress in history. He took Caterina Sforza back to Rome after being captured and imprisoned for a long time. He was released after he was sure that the woman would never be threatened. .

But now such a person has become Constantine, but I do n’t know if the famous grumpy tigress will continue to lift his armor and pat his stomach against the enemy who uses her son as a threat, as legends say. Shout: "As long as I still have this thing, I can have as many sons as I want, so your threat is completely useless."

As for the implied occupation of Forli by Alexander VI, he would not be able to cut off Italy from it as expected. Alexander actually did not care much. After all, for a peninsula surrounded by oceans on all sides, the most important thing is convenience. Traffic.

On the contrary, Alexander was very interested in the calculations of Old Rovere.

After all, think about Foley being too close to the area controlled by Venice, which made Alexander always think that Old Rovere was playing with fire.

When Alexander got up and said goodbye, Nomelo, who had left before, knocked at the door and walked in. It was a surprise for Alexander VI that Nomelo was followed by a soldier holding a flag, and the pope recognized it at a glance. The flag is the flag of the Pope's army inlaid with a triple crown on one side.

"Your Majesty, I think you still need this flag," Alexander took the flag from the guard and bowed down to Alexander VI. "The status of the Vatican is related to the existence of the entire Christian world, so it has enough to protect The Holy See and your own army are imperative, and I believe that Lucrezia also hopes to have an army to protect your safety. "

Alexander VI looked at the son-in-law holding the flag in front of him, the pope's look changed slightly at this moment, but then he took the flag from Alexander: "You said to the child, I really can't disarm Although such an army always causes trouble, God needs his own armed forces. After all, it is not the time when everyone regarded the Vatican ’s voice as the only representative of God ’s will. "

Listening to the Pope finding such a far-fetched excuse for himself, Alexander did n’t care. In fact, when his army raided Caesar ’s barracks, he already realized that Caesar obviously had no hard work in this army, and the Pope Obviously, the establishment of the Pope's army has invested a lot of money.

In fact, this is also one of the conditions for Alexander VI to "sell" Caesar. Caesar's freedom is exchanged for a pope army that still retains the orders and the Pope himself. This is the only consideration that Alexander VI considered after careful consideration. The way to minimize the trouble.

When Alexander left, he clearly felt the unusual atmosphere in the church. Although people tried to be as natural as possible, their eyes still showed a variety of strange looks involuntarily, which made the promise to accompany him. Merlot couldn't help shaking his head gently.

When they walked out of the Sistine Chapel and Alexander was about to turn and leave, Nomelo suddenly stopped him.

"count!"

The personal secretary stood on the steps and looked at Alexander who was standing below and was about to turn his horse. After stopping, Nomelo went down one step and said in a calm tone: "You are now the King of Rome."

Alexander looked at him, and after watching this sentence, he turned and walked up the steps towards the church. Nomelo groaned a little before turning over and jumping onto the back of Pagasos.

"Where are we going, sir?" Shell asked.

"Go to see someone," Alexander forced the reins to turn the horse's head. "Roman King?" He glanced back at the Sistine Chapel, and then made an unexplained hum in his nose, squeezing the horse's belly, Pagaso Si rushed forward.

Although I have been here more than once, every time Alexander feels that the eastern part of Rome looks like the side of the city facing away from the sun.

This is not to say that the Eastern District is poor or ruined. On the contrary, there are many luxurious palaces built by the rich, the most famous of which is the Palace of Isdero.

This palace was built on the basis of a very old palace in the twelfth century. The whole palace has a distinct Norman style, which is very special in the city of Rome.

After several hands, the Palace of Isdelero was bought by a wealthy businessman, and he gave the palace to a woman who was famous in Rome, and now lives in Isdelero This woman in the palace is called Lady Olgala.

Speaking of that, when Grogning decided to give her this luxurious palace, Mrs. Olgala had no idea at all. She was first frightened by Grogning ’s unimaginable gift, and then out of everything. It was expected to be very determined and even rejected a little hysterically.

This really surprised many people, and Mrs. Olgala's emotions also seemed very excited. She kept crying but refused to accept the gift, until Groningen finally understood the reason.

Obviously Mrs. Olgala is worried that this gift will become a sign of the fate of the two of them. This woman who has apparently fallen in love with Groningen does not want to run things after paying a fortune. Way to end the relationship between the two.

This touched Grogning a rare touch. He assured Madam Olgala that this was only a gratitude to her for her loyal service over the years and not something like a severance payment. As to whether she would still follow At his side, he decided to find another way out, which was also decided by Mrs. Olgala herself.

With this guarantee, Olgalav accepted the gift with great joy and unimaginable to many people, and for a long time, Mrs. Olgalala put all her thoughts on the layout Isdero Palace.

Alexandria ’s visit seemed to surprise Mrs. Olgala. Although she knew that Alexandria had arrived in Rome, it was obviously a tedious thing to attend the Pope ’s birthday because of haste, and what just happened was even more unexpected because it caused the entire city of Rome. In a state of uneasiness.

Although the surprise attack on the Pope ’s camp could be described as perfect, the inevitable short battles soon became well known to the people of Rome.

This can be seen from the eyes of a lot of people who suddenly landed from the dock of Fiumicino and then almost marched all the way into the Roman army at noon. It is because these sudden sudden numbers Not many pope's guards took over the emergence of the Montina army who forcibly took over Rome's city defenses. Only then did Nomelo say "Roman King", a term almost never used.

At the meeting, Mrs. Olgala was obviously a little nervous. The young man in front of her was still so familiar, but she knew that in fact he had become very strange now.

What surprised Alexander a little was that he saw a lot of furniture in the house where Mrs. Olgala lived in the room on the second floor of the Isdelero Palace, or the entire room was actually arranged as before ~ www.wuxiaspot.com ~ This actually gave him some insight into Olgalaf's feelings for Grogening.

"Madam, I think you must know my intention." Alexander said to Mrs. Olgala, "I want to know how we are doing in Sicily."

Mrs. Olgala nodded, and she apparently guessed Alexander's purpose. It was only when she took out a few letters from a secret drawer that she seemed hesitant before being sent to Alexander.

Looking at the letters of Alexander looking at the letters, Mrs. Olgala sitting aside seemed a little uneasy. When Alexander finally looked up at her, she seemed finally determined to say: "Master, I don't I do n’t know easily what you are doing, but I know that Aragón and Castile seem to be involved, please forgive me for not worrying about the safety of Lord Groningen, you know God The nobles of Gong are harsh and even brutal. They are more terrible than the emperors. "

"This is indeed the case, and as you might guess, we are not just in Sicily, we will soon have activities in Aragon and Castilla."

Alexander didn't pervert, but his answer made Mrs. Olgala even more worried.

Looking at Mrs. Olgala ’s worried expression, Alexander took out a letter from those letters that happened to be copied from Matthews Thiege to Groningen. When he opened and saw the contents, Alexander ’s Gaze slightly.

"Philip, has arrived in Castile?"

Looking at the letter, Alexander's heart burst with excitement. He knew that after preparing for so long, many things would finally begin to be seen.
