The Rise of the European Emperor

After laughing for a while, the sober Archbishop Rovere ... Oh no, His Majesty Pope Julius II beckoned to a follower on the side and asked:

"Sani, which cardinals voted for support and who voted against it just now, are they written down?"

Sani was the head of the "citizen group" formed by the hundreds of "Citizens of Rome" just now and took the lead in doing things. Moreover, it is responsible for monitoring the voting situation.

"Remembered, the negative votes were mainly 11 loyal bishops of the Borgia family, and a neutral bishop of Ericado. The others voted in support."

Sani is a very capable man under Julius II. His memory is very good, and he can remember a person for a long time with his appearance. Moreover, it can be said that it was a very trusted man of Julius II.

"Well, it's fine, please bring General Schwarz over."

After a while, Schwartz came in and saluted Julius II:

"Congratulations, Dear Pope!"

"Ahahaha, dear Schwartz, I can get to this position, your credit is not small!" Julius II is clearly in a good mood.

"This is the master's strategy!" Schwartz said modestly.

"Marin's stinky boy, I will reward him then. I will not forget your credit. Now, Schwartz, I will give you a mission!"

"Please tell me!"

"To mobilize soldiers, under the leadership of my men, to surround some of the residence of the cardinals! It is the hard-working opposition bishops who voted against it in the end."

"Ah? Are you ... this is to kill them?" Schwartz was surprised.

"No, no, Schwartz, I did n’t think about killing them. But today ’s election, the process has a bad reputation. So, I ’m going to put those opposition parties under house arrest so they do n’t talk everywhere. Remember, no Let their men go out. If there is a material need, I will send someone to help them purchase! "

"Understand, do other bishops need to monitor?"

"Well ... in addition to the bishops who were with me all the time, other bishops who were forced to vote for me also sent someone to monitor it. However, don't limit their freedom, I hope to get their support eventually ... "

Julius II is a real politician, and of course he will not be so reckless as to flip face with the cardinals of most of the cardinals. Otherwise, he would not want to be stable in the future. Therefore, for those cardinals who ultimately chose to support themselves, Julius II still hopes to draw them over. Only the united Holy See has action and influence.

www. 徸 Laoqiuxiao 霘 shuo 焁 o 诜 rg Schwartz soon went out and arranged for the soldiers, under the guidance of Julius II, to surround or monitor the houses of the hard opposition and compromise parties.

At this time, Mavani, a follower who led a team to the main house of the Borgia family in Rome, quarreled and returned excitedly:

"Master, Master! Let's send it!"

Mavani is a servant of the Rovere family, and one of the most trusted men of Julius II. Otherwise, he will not let him go to copy the fatness.

"Cough, calm down, Mavani." Julius II said calmly. He knew that the Borgia family was ruthless and arrogant to gather money, and there must be money, so he was mentally prepared ...

"But, master, this time in the main house of the Borgia family, I copied more than 2 million Ducat gold coins. The gold and silver coins alone are worth 1.2 million Ducat gold coins ..." Mavani His face flushed, obviously still excited ...

"You have something to do with this ... what? More than 2 million Ducat?" Julius II, who wanted to pretend to be calm, suddenly spit out all the water he had just drank--he was also scared……

"Yeah, you don't know. The Borgia family is too rich. At the beginning, I only found the money bank on the bright side, which contained only gold and silver coins worth 200,000 ducats. However, when I was in the backyard After accidentally opening a secret room, I found that there were 1 million worth of gold and silver coins inside, and the villain was almost blinded! "

"God! Although I knew that the Borgia family was rich, I didn't expect to be so rich! 1.2 million cash ... It was my son-in-law of the upstart, and it was hard to get it out ... Rodrigo, the bastard, How much harm will be done to save so much money! "

Of course, Alexander VI was able to accumulate so much money. Cardinal Ferrari Cardinal just robbed him of the money worth 500,000 Ducat gold coins from his home. After the death of Cardinal Mikieki, 150,000 Dukat's money was also robbed.

This is only part of it. In recent years, there are not a few cardinals who have been poisoned by the father and son of Alexander VI. And these cardinals are all rich in wealth, so no one is worth less than 100,000 Ducat gold coins. Of course, if the net worth is not rich, he will not be stared by the father and son of Alexander VI ...

Plus the money that resells the positions of bishops in Italy and other parts of Europe, the wealth accumulated by the Borgia family is at least worth 4 million gold coins.

Seeking novels However, the Borgia family is not only a Roman main house, in other parts of Italy, and his native Spain, there are many industries. Therefore, the money worth 2 million Ducat gold coins found in the main house of the Borgia family in Rome only accounted for less than half of the wealth of the Borgia family.

But this number scared Julius II. Julius II, who was also the manipulator behind the Holy See, was also a bit greedy. However, in the eight years of his puppet Innocent VIII, Julius II also embezzled two or three hundred thousand gold coins. It was precisely because of insufficient financial resources that Julius II was defeated by the more self-willed Alexander VI in the pope election in 1492. In the beginning, Alexander VI spent all the property of the Borgia family in order to choose the pope. However, when he became a pope, he made a lot of money not only to recover the cost, but also to make a lot of money ...

Of course, this is the difference between Julius II and Alexander VI. Julius II at least knew that he wanted a face, even if it was a fortune, it was covert. And Alexander VI was completely shameless and only recognized money ...

Now, almost half of the property that Alexander VI and his son have madly gathered has fallen into the hands of Julius II ...

Is also a matter of luck. Originally, after the death of Alexander VI, there was a Pope Pius III in the middle. At that time, Julius II was still in exile abroad.

Therefore, under the auspices of the good man Pius III, the cardinals of the Roman Cardinals divided up the property of the Borgia family in the city of Rome, and all ate with oil. By the time Julius II returned to Rome, the property of the Borgia family in Rome had been divided up by the Cardinals, and no soup was left for Julius II.

However, in this life, because Marin provided the army, he entered Rome within a few days after Alexander VI died. Those cardinals haven't had time to start working on the Borgia family. Then, the property of the Borgia family in Rome was cheaper than Julius II ...

How to deal with the huge amount of money worth 2 million Ducat gold coins, Julius II thought all night ...

Early the next morning, Julius II with red eyes called Mavani:

"Mavani, you go to the vault of the Borgia family to pick out gold and silver coins, each worth 5000 Ducat gold coins, a total of 90 out of them ..."

www 楜 qiu 掃 xiao 殈 shuo 罃 o 檏 r 惠 g "Master, are you this?" Mavani didn't understand.

"Yesterday I offended most of the cardinals. Today, the money is a compensation for them!"

Yesterday, there were 102 cardinals who participated in the election ~ www.wuxiaspot.com ~ In addition to the 11 hardened Cardinals of the Borgia, and the hard-working neutral bishop Ericardo, there are 90 others. Although there are more than 20 people who were originally allies of Julius II, but you do n’t send money to others, and some do n’t make sense. Therefore, Julius II simply gave 5,000 gold coins to each of the 90 people. In particular, the cardinals who were forced to vote for him can be considered guilty.

Or, in the case of the hooligan election yesterday, Julius II issued a "sealing fee" ...

After all, that thing was very disgraceful, and if it spread, it would have a great influence on the reputation of Julius II. The pope is different from the emperor and the king. The emperor and the king depend on the kingship and the army, while the pope relies on the divine power and prestige.

If the rogue election process was revealed yesterday, it would definitely affect the prestige of Julius II. The pope lacking prestige has insufficient appeal in Europe.

Therefore, as a qualified politician, after thinking for a night, Julius II decided to take out 450,000 gold coins to block everyone's mouth.

As for the 12 cardinals of the stiff opposition, Julius II was very decisive and sent troops directly to put them under house arrest. In this way, the possibility of sending out messages is eliminated.

In addition, yesterday ’s rogues who were hired to coerce the cardinals, Julius II also planned to send troops to control them, lest the news leak ...

All in all, he is going to be a prestigious and great pope. All unstable factors that are not conducive to his reputation must be eliminated in the bud ...
