The Rise of the European Emperor

As early as when Florence was annexed, Julius II had cooperated with the Medici family. The content of the cooperation is that the dark son of the Medici family in the city of Florence cooperated with Marin's army to capture Florence. Julius II, on the other hand, protected the economic interests of the Medici family in Florence and promoted the status of Giovanni di Lorenzo de Medici in the Holy See.

At the beginning, the young Giovanni Di Lorenzo de' Medici was only an acolyte of the Holy See, and had no power in Rome, but his family had some money. In fact, in the original history, when Leo X was elected Pope, he was an acolyte with a low status. It's just that the Medici family has a strong family background, bribed many cardinals, and had no decent competitors to win. When he took over as Pope, because his status was too low, he had to be promoted from deacon to priest, then to bishop, and then he was enthroned as Pope.

And because of Marin's intervention, Julius II hooked up with the Medici family in advance. In return for the help of the Medici family, Julius II promoted the young Giovanni di Lorenzo de' Medici from a lowly acolyte to bishop. Of course, they are still just ordinary bishops and have not yet joined the College of Cardinals.

The reason for this is the result of Julius II deliberately doing so. Because, Marin wrote in a letter saying that he wanted to be kind to the young bishop. Therefore, Julius II suppressed the young bishop first, and waited for Marin to pull him.

In fact, Marin had already planned to support the future pope who triggered the religious revolution, let him die early, and trigger a religious war earlier. The future Leo X will serve as a stepping stone for Martin Luther.

However, because Marin has been very busy and has no time to go south to Rome, he has never been able to find a chance to show favor to Giovanni Di Lorenzo de' Medici, and this matter has been delayed.

Now, there is a chance to come to Rome, and Marin intends to seize this opportunity to get in touch with the future Pope. At the same time, do some favors and make friends with this person.

...

After a while, the young Giovanni di Lorenzo de' Medici came to the backyard of the La Grande Sanctuary, where Julius II lived daily.

As a young bishop, Giovanni di Lorenzo de' Medici had little status in Rome. Among a bunch of bishops, he ranked extremely low and had no right to speak. Therefore, he was very excited about the summoning of the Pope.

However, when he came to the residential area in the backyard of the Lagrand Temple, Giovanni di Lorenzo de' Medici was surprised to find that a young man about his age was talking to the Pope. joyous……

...

In fact, this kind of happy chat was deliberately shown by Marin and Julius II to Giovanni Di Lorenzo de Medici. Otherwise, how could this kid be on the road?

Weng and his son-in-law pretended to be having a heated discussion, completely put aside Giovanni di Lorenzo de' Medici who had been summoned, and continued to discuss some topics.

Seeing the close relationship between Marin and Julius II, Giovanni Di Lorenzo de' Medici was shocked, and at the same time, his eyes were full of envy—if he knew the Pope so well , why worry about not getting ahead in Rome? Maybe, I can still compete for that seat in the future... Looking at the golden chair sitting under Julius II, the eyes of the young Giovanni Di Lorenzo de' Medici were full of longing...

...

Seeing that the stunned young man was almost irritated, Marin seemed to see Giovanni Di Lorenzo de' Medici standing beside him. So, he quickly made a gesture of apology. After all, this Lord is the future Pope, so he must not offend too much, he must show some face.

However, Marin's apology made the young Giovanni di Lorenzo de' Medici a little at a loss. After all, he is not the future His Majesty the Pope in charge of the Holy See, but just a little bishop who is mixed in the Holy See.

How should I put it, ordinary bishops like him who have not joined the College of Cardinals, in Rome, the seat of the Holy See, grab a lot of them, and they are worthless...

And Marin, a celebrity who can have a good chat with the Pope, is the envy of Giovanni Di Lorenzo de Medici...

Giovanni Di Lorenzo de' Medici was so surprised by what Julius II said when Marin was leaving, he almost cried out, why? Because he heard His Excellency the Pope say to the young man:

"Marin, don't worry, your business is my business. As long as you ask, I will do my best to help you!"

Such words, uttered from the mouths of European religious leaders, are simply appalling. Because, a pope's promise is sometimes more valuable than gold and silver mountains.

"So he is Marin..." Giovanni Di Lorenzo de' Medici only reacted after hearing Julius II's words. It turned out that the young man in front of him was the young man who sent out the army to help the current Pope seize the Pope's position. He was really favored...

"If, he can help me say a few words in front of the Pope..." Giovanni Di Lorenzo de' Medici suddenly looked forward to it...

...

Frankly speaking, Giovanni di Lorenzo de' Medici, who was born in the Medici family, is not short of money, but in the Holy See where bigwigs gather, this is nothing. Because, the average cardinal has at least tens of thousands of gold coins in his hand. At the beginning, the cardinals who were murdered by Caesar Borgia with the poison "Cantrella" all started with at least 100,000 or 200,000 gold coins. Otherwise, you won't be targeted...

Therefore, in the Holy See, money is not uncommon. Only when the Pope is running does having money matter. Because, you can spend money to buy those cardinals who have the right to vote and vote for you. But in normal times, money is of no use. Because it is not easy for you to find a poor bishop in the Holy See...

...

After Marin left, Giovanni Di Lorenzo de' Medici was a little absent-minded. He was a little confused about what Julius II had said to him. But it doesn't matter, because Julius II came to him for nothing important, just to let him see the close relationship between himself and Marin, and guide him to follow Marin's way...

Before sending Giovanni di Lorenzo de' Medici away, Julius II deliberately praised Marin in front of him, thinking that he was the most outstanding young man, and he also used hints , Encourage "young heroes" like Giovanni Di Lorenzo de Medici and Marin to get in touch more...

...

"How much contact with young heroes like Marin?" Bishop Giovanni di Lorenzo de' Medici who left the LaGrand Temple seemed to be enlightened...

Then, that night, Bishop Giovanni Di Lorenzo de' Medici brought a cart of gifts to the noble hotel where Marin stayed, and visited Marin, the pope's favorite...
