ALL NOVEL Chapter 167: Wait a minute
After giving laxatives to Alexander VI, Paul quickly passed through the tunnel of a secret stronghold that he had prepared earlier, and turned into a stinky beggar. While the city gate was still closed, he was in Pope Alexander VI. The afternoon before the poison, he got out of the city gate, and then found the horses in an obscure private house in the north of the city. He went to the hidden fishing village 2 kilometers northwest of Rome, waiting for the arrival of Archbishop Rovere.
Paul was a deceased and an outstanding spy cultivated by the Rovere family, and was placed in the Basilica of Saint John of Latran early on. That year, after the death of Archbishop Rovere's uncle Pope Sixtus IV, Rovere controlled the Cardinal of Rome and chose the puppet Innocent VIII of Archbishop Rovere to become the pope. At that time, Paul, who was still a teenager, was placed in the heart of the Holy See-the Basilica of Saint John of Latran after the Rovere family ended their spy training.
However, when Paul first entered the Basilica of St. John of Lateran, he entered as a handyman at the bottom. At that time, Archbishop Rovere, who controlled the power of the Holy See, did not reveal any signs of having another relationship with Paul. In this way, Paul's identity is well hidden.
Alexander VI became the pope by smashing money, and Archbishop Rovere, as his mortal enemy, had to flee from Rome, but Paul, as a son, was left in the Basilica of St. John of Latran, and continued to do miscellaneous work, and gradually promote The head of the handyman in the Basilica of Saint John of Lateran.
When Marin told Archbishop Rovere that he had obtained a small bag of "Cantreira", Archbishop Rovere immediately realized that this was a golden opportunity. So, he immediately notified Paul through other dark lines in the city of Rome, so that he would draw closer to the father and son of Alexander VI, and strive to get in touch with the two's diet and get the chance of poisoning.
After two years of hard work, through bribery and other means, Paul finally got close to Alexander VI and got the chance of poisoning. Then, not only poisoned "Canterella" of Alexander VI, but also laxative the day before the poison, which made Alexander VI's body very weak. This is not counted. Before fleeing, he also used his identity as a steward of Alexander VI to send the three-headed mules in the stable behind St. John ’s Basilica of Latran as an “antidote” at any time. .
Plus, before Marin Paikle arranged a strange chamber of commerce, he bought all the mules around the Basilica of Saint John of Latran. In this way, as long as it is poisonous, Alexander VI ca n’t be sent into the open mule in a short time, and he will die ...
After completing the task, Paul came out of Rome with peace of mind and went to the small fishing village ...
This small fishing village called Dolomia has a very special terrain. Because, except for the direction towards the sea, the other three directions are all mountains. To the outside of the fishing village, there is only a small valley in the north. In the evening, the villagers of Dolomia will close the wooden gate of Gukou directly. In this way, outsiders cannot enter.
At the beginning, the men of Marin took a fancy to the advantages of being enclosed around this small fishing village. Even if something is born here, it is difficult for the outside world to know.
Marin arranged for an Italian to pretend to be a rich man, bought most of this small fishing village, and built several long bridge piers at the fishing village quay, saying that he would build this place into a trading port, ignoring the fishermen. In fact, this is intended to be used for the landing of troops interfering in Rome ...
On the fourth day after Pope Alexander VI was poisoned, that is, the day of August 24th, the fleet from Lampedusa finally took advantage of the night at the long bridge of the fishing village of Dolomia Landed on the pier ...
During the voyage, these paddle sailboats bought from Italy hung the flag of the Republic of Genoa, the most commercial Italian country on the west side of the Apennine Peninsula. In this way, no one paid attention. Because, the scale of dozens of ships, in the western waters of the Apennine peninsula, there are indeed only Genoa talents.
However, the stable Archbishop Rovere still divided the fleet into three batches. On the evening of the 24th, it quietly docked on the long bridge pier in the village of Dolomia ...
The seven thousand troops, with strict discipline, lined up in a strict formation. After landing, dozens of fishermen in the village were temporarily controlled. At the same time, the only large wooden door leading to the valley outside the village was closed during the day ...
Choosing this is because it is closed enough, as long as the only exit is closed-the gate of the valley, what is happening here is not known to the outside world.
Paul had long been here and saw his master Archbishop Rovere ...
"What? Caesar Borgia is not in the city of Rome?" Archbishop Rovere immediately frowned at the news.
You know, although young, Caesar Borgia is the supreme military commander of the Papal State. If he ca n’t be captured, if the servant calls for the resistance of the army of the papacy, then the papal parliament will be a mess ...
"Yes, Master, I did not expect that Caesar Pogia would suddenly leave the city of Rome the day before the poison. It is estimated that it was the secret lover who went to Youhui ..."
"At this boy's arrogance, the secret lovers need to be sneaky?" Archbishop Rovere was a little surprised.
Can it not be sneaky? The object of the Caesar Borgia meeting, but his sister, Lucrezia Borgia! Whether it is placed in China or Europe, this matter is spurned by everyone ... So, he can only run to the country house and come quietly ...
"This ... the subordinates don't quite understand ... this guy is a married woman who sleeps, and he has always been blatant ..." Paul has been following Alexander VI, and it is naturally unclear whether Caesar Pogia and Sister Lucrezia Borgia. If Caesar Borgia's followers knew this.
"It's troublesome if this kid isn't there ... But if he waits for him to return to the city, he will fear that the Cardinals have already chosen the Pope ..." Archbishop Rovere said with frustration.
"Master, his subordinates don't think so ..." Paul said confidently.
"Oh, why?" Archbishop Rovere was curious. You know, after the death of Innocent VIII, Alexander VI died in July 25 within 17 days, and Alexander VI was elected as Pope on August 11th. Archbishop Rovere was afraid that when Caesar Borgia returned to the city, the Cardinals had elected a new pope.
"Master, the reason why Alexander VI was elected Pope within ten days was because Alexander VI smashed all the money of the Borgia family. It was used only to bribe the main campaign opponent As Cario Sforza, let him give up the competition, Alexander VI used a team of mules full of gold bars to enter the mansion of Bishop Sforza ... "
"You mean ..." Archbishop Rovere was a wise man, and soon understood.
"Yes, Master, in the past two years, several rich Cardinals in the Holy See have basically been poisoned by Alexander VI. Right now, there is no Cardinal in the Holy See who has enough financial resources to buy the Cardinal ... … "Paul said confidently.
Archbishop Rovere also nodded. Indeed, after the sudden death of Alexander VI, the Holy See was not prepared enough. Unlike Innocent VIII who died of normal illness, when he fell ill, Alexander VI actually started bribing and canvassing. Alexander VI died suddenly, and the bishops of the Cardinals in Rome were a little caught by surprise, and naturally no one was prepared in advance.
In addition, at this time, there is no candidate in the Holy See ’s cardinal group with sufficient financial resources to buy the entire cardinal group. In a short time, the cardinal group cannot choose a new pope.
So ~ www.wuxiaspot.com ~ Archbishop Rovere thought it might be better to wait a few more days. If Caesar Borgia was caught once and for all, then there would be no problem.
You know, the entire Papal army is under the control of Caesar Pogia. If he did not catch Caesar Pogia, even if he won Rome, the other cities of the Papal State are still under the control of the Pope team under the control of Caesar Pogia. In this way, even if Archbishop Rovere was elected as the Pope and wanted to take full control of the Papal State, he would face the risk of civil war ...
So Archbishop Rovere thought about it and said:
"Then wait a minute!"
After saying that, Archbishop Rovere quickly arranged a few entourages. After putting on makeup, he went to observe the gates of Rome. After the return of Caesar Pogia to the city of Rome, he immediately came to the village of Dolomia to Rovere. Archbishop's report ...
