Conquer the Dawn of Heaven

Zaragoza is a very beautiful city. It was once said that the Moors ’greatest achievement in the Iberian Peninsula was the construction of a Moorish Zaragoza city.

Although the history once conquered by the Moors was regarded as a shame and shame by the Aragonese, the Arab invasion left the place with a splendid civilization.

As the earliest church converted from a mosque in the Iberian Peninsula, the Cathedral of Our Lady of Salvation in Zaragoza is the center of the Church of the Kingdom of Aragon.

This magnificent building that gathers many different civilizations and different era styles stands on Mount Wangri on the side of Zaragoza. This small hill is high in the east and low in the west. It has been formed by many generations of repeated construction. A stepped **** that is wider than people think.

Every time the Cathedral of the Blessed Virgin is preaching and public mass, Zaragoza people will gather on this stepped slope, people will consciously form a waterfall composed of people on the **** according to their own identity, the highest identity person, The place to stand naturally is also the highest. They will stand at their own position and look at the crowd below. This is a time of great sense of accomplishment.

Alexandria stood very high, but he did not have a so-called sense of accomplishment, but only felt that he seemed to understand why the later Spanish Empire would eventually decline.

Obviously, even one of the most devout countries in the world of Christ, in fact, because of years of Moorish occupation, this country has already deeply penetrated the spirit of the Eastern style in its bones.

Over the years, the Moorish rule in Iberia did not disappear with the departure of the Moors, but instead was completely inherited by the Christians who had driven them away.

So when facing the new continent in the future, the new and old Spanish Empire easily conquered and eliminated the indigenous peoples of the new continent by relying on powerful advanced force, but then used this Moorish way to brutally rule this land. .

But they obviously did not really learn the flexible and effective methods of their own rulers. They only saw the cruelty but not tolerance, and they did not see the reason why the Moors were able to occupy the Iberian peninsula. For centuries, in addition to the swords and guns in their hands, the church they used to worship God today.

The future Spanish empire is cruel and merciless, even more greedy and short-sighted. Even though they once ruled the New World for centuries, their short-sightedness is still unable to get rid of the fate that eventually led to the decline of the empire.

Disordered plundering will make this empire rich and powerful, and it will also hinder the country from making new changes.

These things have been known to Alexander before, and he has even prepared for the phenomenon that may occur in the future, but he has not yet had a complete impression until now, until he sees the mother of Zaragoza save the crowds under the cathedral .

In Iberia, the nobility was so powerful that even powerful monarchs such as Isabella and Ferdinand had to dare to act lightly in order to converge their power.

But Alexandria does n’t have that much time. The era of great sailing has arrived. If you do n’t want the Spaniards to bring their style to the new continent, and then form a bad atmosphere in the new continent that is only plundered without construction, you must be completely shaken The noble roots of Iberia today.

This is a very dangerous idea. Alexander knew that whether he could finally take the Spanish crown or not, it would bring a huge destruction. This wave of destruction might even directly affect his Roman Thesia, after all. Once a beast is released from the cage, it will be difficult to close it again.

It's just that this beast cannot absolutely enjoy that short-lived comfort in a cage, otherwise one day it will change from a male lion to a docile domestic cat, and by then all will be over.

There was nothing special about Alexander VI ’s blessing mass, but his subsequent sermons caused an uproar, and the sermon just ended. Many nobles of Zaragoza had already used various excuses to see the pope.

Alexander VI was stationed in the palace of Zaragoza, and the famous Mirror Hall became the place where he summoned the nobles.

For this mirror hall of Versailles, which was later completely copied by Louis XIV, Alexander had already heard about it. Although after seeing the whole picture, he felt that it could not be compared with the mirror hall of Versailles in terms of luxury or scale, but it was already in this era. It is proud to be created.

The elongated mirror hall is decorated with a total of 344 beautifully shaped mirrors. These are either set off by precious mirror frames or mirrors directly mounted on the wall to project the different reflections of the people in the hall. Looking at oneself in one mirror, people will involuntarily want to see what they look like in the next mirror, even though they all know the same.

Alexander felt that the Pope ’s choice of the place where the aristocracy was called was a smart decision. Those mirrors were enough to disperse the energy, and the Pope standing there just had to wait patiently for them to walk through the long hall to themselves It ’s just that the different reflections projected by the hundreds of mirrors along the way are enough to make a person irritable because of distractions.

Alexander stood silently slightly behind the Pope ’s side. This was the first time he stood openly with the Pope. Although everyone knew that he was the Pope ’s “son-in-law,” they did not do so even in the Vatican Ever.

Alexander could clearly feel the subtle changes in the attitude of the Zaragoza nobility and the previous, although the Zaragoza people also showed a fanatical support for the pope when they entered the city, but they can still be The church's attitude felt their vigilance and alienation.

The relationship between the Iberians and the Vatican is very delicate. Especially in recent years, the Isabella couple has given the church great power while ingeniously instigating the local church and the vatican chamber in Italy. It became the royal tool of the couple.

And his experience in Iberia during this time also touched him deeply. So the church and the nobles did not surprise Alexander with the estrangement of the pope.

But now these Zaragoza people have become unusually docile and humble, and even a little pleased, so Alexander quickly realized that this probably had a lot to do with the sermon.

Alexander recalled carefully that the pope's sermon can only be regarded as quite satisfactory. The proposition "the devil's temptation and depravity" has always been an important admonishment of the church to the world, but this time it seems to have played a special role.

Then, when a messenger from Bariaridot saw the pope, Alexander realized that Ferdinand finally couldn't hold back.

"Your Majesty, will the devil let go of some people because of his noble identity?"

At that time, when it seemed that the Pope was asking the Pope for this question, Alexander noticed that the Pope seemed to hesitate for a moment, but then Alexander VI answered him in a very calm tone: "The devil even tried to seduce the Lord **** in order to order him Falling into evil, God ’s test of the world is here, and the fear of God makes each one of us must stand before the sacred cross to be lashed and tested. "

This answer is not very special, but it seems to satisfy the messenger very much. He respectfully offered the Pope King Ferdinand's "tribute" to the pope, which is a rich land near Algemesi in the south of the Aragon Kingdom. It happened that the land happened to border the Duke of Gandino ’s territory.

Although Piping's offering of soil opened the wave of giving to the church, it was after all too long and long ago, and now the trend is that people with skill can get more from the pope, so Ferdinand's Soil donation is even more valuable.

Even Alexander VI couldn't help being touched by the generosity of the king. He praised Ferdinand's piety very much, and at the same time showed more kindness to the land he gave himself.

"What do you think he wanted to do," but when only two people got along, Alexander VI asked the sitting "son-in-law" "I understand him, Ferdinand is a cunning and difficult king to deal with, he is not On the contrary, he is very generous to others, but I do n’t think he will be generous enough to show a piece of land, especially here. "

The Pope said, looked around for a while and then continued: "If you stay here for a long time, you will know how people in this place think of the church, and never treat them as their friends because of their piety. Whether the nobility or the civilians taught in their eyes more to serve their own madness. "

Alexander looked at the Pope slightly surprised, but he did not expect that Alexander VI actually saw the Iberians so thoroughly, even Alexander himself could not help but admit that he only realized it deeply after coming to Iberia To this point.

The Iberians are unique. Their piety shows obvious paranoia and even madness, but this piety is a product of secular folk. The church does have a lofty status, but no one thinks that it can override the king In fact, even the most devout believers would only choose the monarch and the royal family if they let them choose, which is very different from other places in Europe.

And this is what made Alexander more cautious.

Obviously, it is a dangerous idea in Iberia to rely solely on the strength of the church to fight against the royal family. Just look at who has the religious judgment in its hands.

Isabella ’s fanatical priest Thomas Tongomada was the founder and promoter of the religious trial system. He enthusiastically held a Bible and clamored to judge the world, but it was often the king who was eventually sent to the trial. The opponents of this are just enough to explain the subtle status of the church in Iberia.

Now the emissaries sent by Ferdinand are so diligent to offer precious and fertile land, which makes people have to doubt his real purpose.

"Your Majesty, I heard some strange rumors when I was in Bariari Dodd that it was about Princess Juana and her husband Prince Philip."

The Pope glanced at Alexander. Since knowing his "life experience", Alexander VI had a deeper understanding of his actions. Now that he heard news about Juana, the Pope had to become careful.

"The princess's spirit is very unstable. Sometimes she is violently thundering and sometimes suspicious. She seems to have several souls in her body, but this statement is just some rumours in the palace, but there is enough evidence about Philip. Prove that he has some terrible disease. "

The pope's expression froze for a moment, his body slightly sitting upright and staring at Alexander, he knew exactly what the news meant.

If something unexpected happens to Juana as the heir to the throne, even if it is simply related to the future succession of the United Kingdom throne, it is enough to cause an uproar, and its impact can even shake the entire European continent.

not to mention……

Alexander VI looked at the young man in front of him. He never thought that this young man who made him hate and helpless would have such a deep relationship with the two most honorable crowns in Europe.

That's right, two crowns.

Alexander VI seems to have seen the jewel in the crown of Castile shining brightly in front of his eyes, while another seemingly unrelated Aragon crown is also waving to him.

If, even if only, is it enough for people to just imagine the situation of heartbeat?

While Alexandria inherited the Castile throne, if Nazarene Queen Rosa Cosenza could get Sicily, it also meant that she could also get Aragon.

If the queen had no descendants ...

Even just thinking about this kind of future, which might make people tremble with excitement, made Alexander VI almost forget the present situation.

The Pope puzzled Alexander because of his excitement. Of course, he did not know how Alexander VI was thinking about how to earn one, perhaps two, or even more crowns for the descendants of the Pogia family.

The news of Princess Juana's insanity did not know when it began to spread in Zaragoza.

Even if the palace sent a large number of guards to the streets to catch the nonsense, and then arrogantly hung them like bacon on the long columns on the street, the rumor still can't be spread Too.

At this time, people naturally thought of the peculiar sermon of the pope, so more people flocked to the palace to demand to see the pope.

At this time, Alexander VI no longer summoned them. He had a long talk with the messenger sent by Ferdinand, but what the messenger did not know was that this time he was regarded as a date to meet with the pope alone. The two are not the only ones.

After the messenger respectfully kissed the back of the pope's finger and then stepped back carefully, Alexander came out of a small door beside the pope's room.

He noticed that the pope was sitting in a chair looking at the door, and seemed to not see him at all, so he stood quietly beside the pope and waited.

After a while, Alexander VI seemed to wake up from contemplation. He looked at Alexander next to his eyes and gently spit out the sulking that had accumulated in his chest for a long time.

"So, Princess Juana is really entangled by the devil?"

Alexander noticed that the Pope ’s words when he said this was not so doubtful, but rather that he was complaining. When he expounded this “fact” in that affirmative tone, he had already nailed Juana the moment he spoke On the cross in his mind.

"Tell me, how much confidence do you have?" Alexander VI made a gesture to lift the lid. Alexander knew that the pope was suggesting that he was an outsider, and openly contested the Castile throne.

"It depends on the situation. Your Majesty, haven't you waited patiently for many years?"

The Pope looked at Alexandria slightly, he knew that the disappearance of Cardron had something to do with Alexander, but he knew whether he had known the origin of Cardron.

Or did he actually already know, but deliberately did not reveal it?

Alexander VI felt that he could not clearly see what the young man was doing, which made him vaguely disturbed. Even if he gave him a lovely grandson, the Pope still felt that this was obviously not enough.

"I don't have that much time," Alexander VI's voice became low. "I'm old. I don't have so much time to wait for new opportunities. There aren't that many people in the Pogia family waiting for such opportunities. "

The pope said that he held out his hand, although he was shaking a little, but he still grabbed Alexander ’s collar and dragged him in front of him, and looked closely at his eyes: "I know this is what you owe me. Pay off the debt. "

As he raised his hand and held Alexander's face carefully, he kissed him slowly on the forehead, and then the pope pressed his voice against Alexander's ear and said, "No matter what you want to do, don't forget what you want What kind of enemy is facing, always remember that they may be able to make countless mistakes, but you may be defeated if you only make one mistake. "

Alexander nodded silently. He knew that for whatever purpose, the warning of Alexander VI was correct. In this competition with Isabella, he was the one who stood on the cliff to face the enemy from the beginning. Party.

He had no choice but to defeat his opponent completely.

Unlike what Alexander had previously thought, Archbishop Zaragoza was an easy-going old man.

Compared with other greedy and insatiable counterparts, this archbishop, who is said to have a slightly cold background, is so good that even in Alexander's view, even if he is not a saint, he will not let it go.

But the archbishop may have become a supporter of Ferdinand because of the lack of strong support in the Holy See or the local church.

His obedient and rebellious attitude towards Ferdinand made many people unable to see it, and even called the archbishop "the other wife of the king" behind his back.

However, the Archbishop obviously did not care about this. He regarded serving the King as the most glorious thing in his life, and because the belief that the King ’s needs have always been his mission, the Archbishop of Zaragoza has not only been appreciated by the King, even It has also become one of the most trusted celebrities trusted by Ferdinand.

When Alexander visited the Archbishop, he saw that the distinguished priest was looking at a few skinny children with kind eyes. The Archbishop looked at the children with care, and then selected a few of them who seemed quite pleasing to the eye. Take them away.

Alexander didn't want to "conject with the worst malicious speculation", but when he looked at him, he chose the few of them, and Alexander couldn't help but think of something very uncomfortable.

"Duke, please be assured that His Majesty has no worries in his hometown. We still remember the glorious achievements of His Majesty as Archbishop of Valencia, so do you think we will neglect the Pope?" The stunned expression looked at Alexander, and his eyes even made him feel that this slight doubt was an insult to the local parish.

"No, sir, you misunderstood, how could I think so, you and the parishioners of your parish are respectful to your majesty, even if I have to be ashamed of myself, I can only say that you are pious for you and the king before the majesty Excited, please allow me to express my highest respect to you, you are a true example of the world of Christ. "

Alexander didn't remember how he said goodbye to the Archbishop, but he deeply understood the truth: it was only the wrong name and the wrong nickname, "the other wife of the king" deserved.

Although the nobles of Zaragoza were attentive and humble, everyone knew that the real stage was not here.

The king hoped that the Pope would visit Bariari Dodd.

So His Majesty the Pope set off for the capital of Castile after a short stay.

Just when the pope left Zaragoza, Isabella had already received all the actions of the pope from the ears and eyes sent to Zaragoza, which made her have to stay in bed even if she was sick. Still showing extreme anger to Alexander VI ~ www.ltnovel.com ~ She smashed the precious vase from the East, and because of the anger, she punished the few followers who had been favored by her. Close your eyes to prevent yourself from doing worse things because of anger.

What disappointed Isabella was that although Ferdinand came to visit her soon, his ardent concern could not conceal the joy of floating hearts caused by the pope's arrival.

On August 26, 150, Pope Alexander VI inspected the capital of the Kingdom of Castile, Barialido.

On this day, the sun was shining and the light given by God shone on the city of Valladolid.

Under the watchfulness of countless people, Pope Alexander VI entered the capital of the Kingdom of Castile.

"I'm back," Alexander looked up at the wall of Barialidod, which was not very high. He smiled first, and then his legs gently pressed the horse's belly slightly toward the gate. "You also want to go here, Pa Gasos, then we will not stay. "
