The Rise of the European Emperor
Chapter 1033: Sworn oath with the future pope
Seeing Giovanni Di Lorenzo de Medici's visit, Marin was also secretly relieved. Wasn't his performance with the Pope's father-in-law just to attract this guy?
Marin originally wanted to take the initiative to find Giovanni Di Lorenzo de Medici, but then he thought wrong. Because, his current status is higher than the other party. Moreover, taking the initiative to find the other party, no matter how you look at it, it seems that you are curry favor with him. And as a celebrity in front of the pope, it is against common sense to curry favor with an ordinary little bishop who is not popular. Maybe it will make Giovanni di Lorenzo de' Medici suspicious. Think about it, you are a dick, and suddenly one day the British Prime Minister came to curry favor with you, would you be suspicious?
So, after thinking about it, Marin simply set up a trick with Julius II, deliberately luring Giovanni di Lorenzo de' Medici to come over to curry favor with Marin. Then, Marin took advantage of the situation to accept the other party, pretending to help him with a few good words. After that, Julius II reused Giovanni di Lorenzo de' Medici... In this way, the other party will be very grateful to Marin. Even, it can be regarded as a great favor to the other party... In the future, the other party will only be willing to help if he asks him to help guide Robert...
Facts have proved that none of the people who can get into a high position is a fool. Although Giovanni Di Lorenzo de' Medici is young, he is also a fine individual. He heard the subtext of Julius II, and immediately after returning home, he decisively rummaged through the boxes, got a car of good things, and sent them to Marin...
Although he was looking forward to the arrival of Giovanni Di Lorenzo de' Medici, Marin pretended to be surprised when the other party actually came. Moreover, this guy pretended not to know each other...
In fact, in theory, Marin should not know each other either. Because the two sides have not had direct contact. Therefore, when Marin came to greet Giovanni Di Lorenzo de' Medici, he deliberately pretended to be indifferent, as if he didn't care about the other party. And this is indeed reasonable. Marin is the grand duke second only to the king in Europe, and he is also a popular man in front of the pope. Facing a young bishop with little real power, there is really no need to show too much face.
Fortunately, Giovanni Di Lorenzo de' Medici did his homework before he came, and he deliberately praised Marin, and fell in love with Marin, starting with the battle of the ambush of Charles VIII in the Battle of Fornovo , Exaggerated Marin's illustrious martial arts, and then expressed enough admiration and admiration.
And Marin also put on a complacent expression very cooperatively, as if being flattered by the other party...
Speaking of the happy place, Marin happily took Giovanni Di Lorenzo de' Medici's hand and sat down, and then ordered someone to serve wine—Marin's own "Royal Salute"...
"This is the famous 'Royal Salute', produced in Newcastle. The craft comes from Scotland's 'Water of Life', and later added the finest honey from Eastern Europe, brewed with a special process, and it costs 5 gold coins a bottle on the market Come on, come on, brother Giovanni, you and I hit it off so well, I won’t return today if I’m not drunk!” After speaking, Marin poured a glass for Giovanni, and then filled it up for himself.
Giovanni Di Lorenzo de' Medici was here to curry favor with Marin, so naturally he had to drink with him, and he had to pretend to be happy.
Of course, Giovanni Di Lorenzo de' Medici's happiness was not all feigned. He was also very happy to drink the famous "Royal Salute".
Giovanni di Lorenzo de' Medici was born in the court and was used to living a luxurious life since he was a child. He loved art all his life and knew how to enjoy life. Appreciating art and tasting fine wine are both important parts of enjoying life. In addition, he also likes to hunt.
"Royal Salute" is blended with maple syrup, so the taste has the sweetness of maple syrup and the fragrance of trees. This taste is very attractive to nobles who pursue quality of life. Moreover, the alcohol content of 20 degrees is not unacceptable. Because, generally wine also has more than ten degrees of alcohol.
Both of them are good drinkers (Marin has investigated), but after a few glasses of wine, Marin's face turns red. Of course, this does not mean that Marin is drunk, but that he has such a physique that he blush when he drinks. In fact, Marin's alcohol capacity is not bad. Although it can't be compared with a wine barrel like Kahn's, the alcohol capacity is still better than the average person.
And, drinking blush isn't a bad thing either. Because, this is conducive to pretending to be drunk...
Yes, pretending to be drunk is also a skill. But first, you'd better have the physique to blush after drinking. It is easier to pretend to be drunk only when you blush. Because, others will believe that you are drunk. If the face does not change after drinking, it is very difficult to pretend to be drunk, because others don't believe it...
Marin has been drinking and blushing for two lifetimes, so pretending to be drunk is naturally very convenient...
So, after drinking a few more glasses, Marin began to pretend to have a big tongue, and began to speak intermittently:
"Joe... Joe... Brother Giovanni, let me tell you... Hiccup... In this life, my luck is quite good... Hiccup..." This hiccup skill is from watching "Love Apartment" in my previous life. "After that, I learned it from Zeng Xiaoxian. Although he didn't quite like him, it was enough to fool Giovanni Di Lorenzo de' Medici.
Giovanni Di Lorenzo de' Medici came here to curry favor with Marin, so naturally he would not tear down the stage, but nodded desperately in agreement.
Then, Marin went on to brag:
"My fate is very good. Just after I debuted, I... met... an ascetic monk, a great sage... who loved... Einstein..., he taught me knowledge for a period of time, let... ...made me metamorphose... well, metamorphose..."
"Then, by chance, King Charles VIII of France was ambushed in Fornovo... Hiccup, do you believe it happened?"
Giovanni Di Lorenzo de' Medici nodded, expressing his belief. In fact, he can't believe it. Because it was a coincidence that Marin ambushed and defeated King Charles VIII of France. Ordinary people, who would run away in the middle of the night? But Charles VIII did this, and was met by Marin... I can only say that Marin was lucky...
"Later, I met the present Pope...I felt...I felt that the other party was...very noble, so I supported him. Unexpectedly, he became the Pope...I never thought of it..."
Giovanni di Lorenzo de' Medici sighed—there is nothing to say about this luck. At the beginning, Julius II, who was still Archbishop of Rovere, was a fugitive wanted by the reigning Pope Alexander VI. Who would have thought that he would become the future Pope? Marin's luck is indeed against the sky...
...
Taking the opportunity of pretending to be drunk, Marin blew violently, and showed off to Giovanni Di Lorenzo de' Medici, saying that the Pope attaches great importance to his opinion, and as long as he recommends it, he will not appear in front of the Pope not red...
"Is this true?" Giovanni Di Lorenzo de' Medici was immediately moved. Didn't he come to flatter Marin just to be popular in front of the Pope?
"Hmph, of course! Even...even if I recommend...recommend you to be...a candidate for the future Pope...it's all...no problem..." Marin continued to brag. Of course, this is not bragging...
...
After blowing for a while, Marin took the opportunity of pretending to be drunk, put his arms around Giovanni Di Lorenzo de Medici and bluffed:
"Brother Giovanni, you and I hit it off right away, why don't we become brothers?"
Union brothers are also called "Sombrothers". In Europe, Union brothers are equivalent to sworn brothers in China. This form is generally popular in the Mediterranean region, especially in the Balkans. Later, this kind of fraternity evolved into a brotherhood, which became a very common group organization in Europe and the United States.
Although sworn brothers are not very popular in Italy, Giovanni di Lorenzo de' Medici has still heard of it. After all, this thing is more popular in southeastern Europe. Also in the Mediterranean region, of course Giovanni Di Lorenzo de Medici had heard of it.
Hearing that Marin was going to become sworn brothers with him, Giovanni Di Lorenzo de' Medici thought for a while, and immediately agreed. why? He is now an alliance brother with Marin, which is completely high. Moreover, after becoming sworn brothers, can Marin help himself speak well in front of Julius II?
So, taking advantage of the opportunity that Marin seemed to be drunk and not sober, Giovanni Di Lorenzo de' Medici hurriedly pulled Marin and held hands with Guan Erye... ah bah, in front of the statue of Jesus. Take an oath on the Bible and become sworn brothers...
