The Rise of the European Emperor

After arriving in Rome, Marin entered the city with only 100 guards. As for the 200 scouts and 200 officers, Marin directly helped find a station outside Rome for them to stay temporarily.

The relationship between Marin and the military of the Papal State is quite good. Even now, the Papal State still has 7,000 soldiers of Marin. Therefore, these 400 men were directly assigned to an abandoned castle on the outskirts of Rome, where the living conditions were much better than sleeping in the wild.

When you arrive in Rome, how can you not see your father-in-law? Therefore, Marin brought a lot of presents and went to visit his father-in-law.

Seeing Marin, Julius II was a little angry. Because, this guy abducted his two daughters. However, the North Sea country is so far away from Rome. This made it very inconvenient for Julius II to see his daughter, or for his daughter to see him. Therefore, when he saw Marin, Julius II blew his beard and stared.

He didn't bother to look at the gift from Marin. Because he is the pope, what good things haven't you seen? It was a bucket of maple syrup sent by Marin that aroused his interest. After all, there is no such thing in continental Europe, and it is a rarity.

"From the New World?" Julius II asked.

"Yes, it is made from sap drilled from a tree. It has a sweet taste and is very nutritious. Of course, you can't eat too much. However, with this, you don't need to eat sucrose."

Maple syrup is also a type of sugar, but not as high as sucrose. Moreover, because it contains various minerals and organic acids, it is very beneficial to the nutritional supplement of the human body. Especially the elderly like Julius II are most suitable to eat this nutritional syrup.

Julius II nodded and accepted Marin's filial piety with a smile. But Marin said again:

"However, this food is a specialty of the New World, eat it yourself, and don't show it to others, otherwise it will be difficult to explain!"

Julius II rolled his eyes:

"I still need you to teach me? I will tell others that this is a syrup imported from the Middle East. Isn't it over?" Italy and the Middle East have frequent exchanges, and God knows what strange things from the Middle East will flow into Italy. Moreover, in this era, Europe and the Middle East are communicating and guarding against each other because of religious issues. In fact, they don't know each other very well.

After getting the maple syrup, Julius II suddenly said:

"I remember you said that you want to train Felice's child Robert to be the future Pope?"

"Yes, there is such a plan, what's the matter?"

"After this battle is over, send Robert to Rome." Julius II said lightly.

"What? How old is Robert? Sent to Rome so early? Is it too early?" Robert is still a three or four-year-old baby boy, so early, can he adapt to a place like Rome? What's more, Marin actually has selfish intentions, that is-the child is not yet mature, and if he leaves him so early, he may not even kiss him in the future. Even if he became the pope, he might not be willing to help his brother Caesar... So, in these years, it's best to keep him by his side and cultivate feelings with himself and Caesar.

Julius II glared at Marin and said:

"I don't want him to live in Rome from now on, but let him show his face in Rome first, so that everyone knows that there is such a person, and he is from my Rovere family! Otherwise, how to shade him to become a red-clothed man?" bishop?"

"Why? Have you arranged for his identity?" Marin said with joy in his heart.

"Well, after the destruction of the Borgia family, few people from the main branch of the Rovere family have survived, but there are still people from the side branch. I persuaded a relative of the side branch to announce that Robert is a child of their family, and officially adopted him. The name is Robert de la Rovere. In this way, Robert is considered a descendant of my family. And I have reason to shelter him as a cardinal, and he will directly enter the Holy See at the age of 18! I am old now, and I don’t know when I will I have gone to see God. Therefore, the problem of Robert's shelter must be resolved as soon as possible!" After finishing speaking, Julius II sighed. He is already 65, and in this day and age, he is considered a very old man.

You can go to heaven anytime. Therefore, he had to get rid of some things while he was still alive.

"Then choose which family will be suspected? After all, a child suddenly appeared in their family..."

"It's okay. Their family fled into the mountains to avoid being chased by Caesar Borgia. They only came out this year and have little contact with the outside world. Outsiders don't know how many children there are in their family." Obviously, Julius II was carefully selected.

"After that child..."

"Send Rome to Rome every winter, and stay with Angela and Felice's mother for a few months. For the rest of the time, go back to live in Aurich!"

"Okay, let's do it!" As long as he is not separated from his family, Marin can accept it. As for living in Rome in winter, just go out to school. Moreover, it is very necessary for Robert to adapt to the living environment of Rome since he was a child. Because, when he grows up, he will always stay there.

...

After talking about this matter, Julius II talked about the bishop of Medici again. Before, Marin had sent a letter asking him to pay attention to this young cardinal from the Medici family, which puzzled Julius II. This time, he simply asked:

"Why are you optimistic about this young man? Do you think he will be the next Pope?" Julius II was a little skeptical. Because, this cardinal named Giovanni di Lorenzo de' Medici is a bit too young. Born in 1475, he is only 33 years old now. Most of the previous popes were elected in their fifties or sixties. Could it be that I can still live for 20 years? Julius II did not have that confidence.

"This is my intuition. Back then, I thought Angela had a noble background, so I married her without hesitation. You see, now I have made money..."

"You expected that I would be pope?" Julius II's eyes widened. It's not that he doesn't believe it, but that he does. Because, Julius II himself was a very superstitious person. Every time you go out, you have to ask the astrologer to do a good or bad fortune-telling first, and even refer to the results of the fortune-telling for the route you go out.

"Unexpectedly, I just felt that Angela was beautiful and noble. Then, I couldn't help falling in love with her..." How could Marin be honest? To be honest, I am a speculator in the eyes of my father-in-law. However, it is also necessary to reveal something strange. Otherwise, the old man doesn't believe in himself.

So, he said nonsense again:

"You see, my intuition is very accurate. Back then, in the Battle of Fornovo, why did I ambush on that mountain road? It was still in the middle of the night, because I had a premonition that the French army would run away that night. So, to ambush in advance, Won a miraculous victory that shocked Europe!"

"No wonder... I thought you were just a coincidence, but it turned out that you had a premonition... So, you have a premonition that this Medici church is the next Pope?"

"It's just a hunch, it's not necessarily accurate..."

"That's enough!" Julius II, who had always been superstitious, finally made up his mind...

So he called his servants and said:

"Bring the Medici Bishop!"
