Conquer the Dawn of Heaven

Don Julio Mando looked at the letter that had just arrived, and the look on his face was a little strange, it seemed like irony, and it seemed a little helpless, his name was Olibe Grisaro The secretary stood silently in front of him, waiting for the chief veteran to speak.

"So that's it?" Don Julio Mando raised his head and looked at the secretary. "Don Bavi wants to tell us the conditions, and he obviously thinks he has mastered Andalusia. For him, now It should be time for him to come to the price. "

"Yeah, the Duke is a bit smug." Grisaro nodded to acknowledge the chief veteran's opinion. Whether from the perspective of a secretary of the parliamentary veteran or a member of the Jewish Assembly, Grisaro felt Don Bavi The behavior was obviously a provocation. The purpose of Juana, who tried their best to grasp it, was to negotiate a showdown with Isabella, not to support Don Bavey ’s rebellion.

And from the beginning, in cooperation with Don Bavi, the noble council has made it clear that they will support the Andalusian nobles' demands on the royal family, but they will not shake the rule of the Astamara family.

But now, with the change in the situation in Andalusia, Don Bavi clearly believes that he has mastered the initiative, so his demands for the aristocratic parliament have become more reasonable.

He hopes to become the permanent governor of Andalusia, and requires that this position can be inherited by his family. This condition is no different from that of the uncrowned king, even the noble parliament is difficult to accept.

Don Julio Mando is well aware of the current situation in the parliament. Toledo hated the old nobles for cutting off their noble privileges by the Isabella couple. This is the main reason why the entire parliament decided to fight against them, but the parliament is not. Will agree to shake the rule of the Astamara family, because this is not only related to the safety of the Kingdom of Castile, but more importantly, if the status of the royal family is in jeopardy, then the noble parliament, which is closely related to the royal family but also closely related, will also be Facing huge challenges.

The new aristocracy that emerged from a campaign to recover the lost land has posed a huge threat to the forces of the old aristocracy. If Castile is caught in a separatist war, the interests of the old aristocracy will be irrespective of the final result. Be hurt and violated.

Don Julio Mando does n’t want to see a new Isabella appear in Andalusia. Although Don Bavi is respectful of the Parliament today, he is also guaranteed to respect Toledo ’s interests, but no one can guarantee In the future, once he really gains momentum, will he still keep such a promise.

Just like the Isabella couple, they also promised to repay the nobles who contributed to the movement to regain the lost land, but after the victory they took the opportunity to nurture the cronies and continue to weaken the power of the old nobles. These have already been Enough to alert Don Julio Mando.

"Maybe you can have a good talk with the Pope," Grisaro said, bending over slightly and lowering his voice carefully. He noticed that Don Julio Mando immediately became unsightly, and straightened his waist slightly. Taking a step back, he knew that the chief veteran was considering this suggestion that did not please him, but Grisaro was sure to be able to persuade this stubborn person, "You know that the Pope ’s situation is not very good. Will not return to the Vatican again. "

"So you don't think he will pose a threat to us? Just like this Don Bavey?" Don Julio Mando asked, seeing the secretary just shrugging his shoulders and not answering, the letter in his haggard hand. He glanced up again and threw it annoyedly. "Be aware that Rodrigue Borgia is a very greedy person. If we work with him, it is difficult to guarantee that he will not make more unacceptable conditions."

"It's hard to say, but at least now he is much better than this Don Bavi. He is in a difficult situation, not to mention that he doesn't have an army in his hand, but this person," Grisaro pointed to the table The letter on "He has enough strength to talk to us about the conditions, the most important thing is that he can indeed affect whether Juana can succeed in the succession."

"Oh, do you think he can do this?" Don Julioman asked puzzled.

"According to some sources, it is said that Don Bavey has publicly stated that he has the right to question Juana ’s inheritance rights, although it is not yet known why he said that, but we have to guard against what kind of plan he has, as for the pope , A greedy person may not like it, but such a person is at least a lot more pure. "

The secretary ’s words made Don Julio Mando ponder, even though Don Bavi had no basis for questioning Juana ’s inheritance, the army in his hands was enough to pose a direct threat, not to mention what he really said If there is evidence, then Juana, who is in the hands of the noble council, may really become a waste chess.

So, as Grisaro said, the greed of Alexander VI is indeed incomparable to Don Bavi, and the status of the Iberian church is certainly not comparable to other parts of continental Europe, at least no matter who becomes Kings, will not allow the church to have the opportunity to confront the royal family.

Therefore, if Alexander VI wants to restore his influence in the Vatican in Iberia, it is obviously more cost-effective to cooperate with Alexander VI.

When Grissarro visited the Pope, Alexander VI was eating a dinner that satisfied him. What surprised him was that he actually ate the famous Valencian "chowder", which uses vegetables , Rabbit meat, chicken, venison, mashed figs, and dishes mixed with a part of spicy seasoning daffodil rhizome as the main ingredient, are really stuffed under the hot wheat cake, when When the knife and fork fell, the hot oatmeal was cut, and the aroma of the chowder came out of the cut, and even the most discerning person would drool at that moment.

This famous dish of Valencia is not often eaten even in the Vatican, and here, looking at the chowder in the small pot in front of him, Alexander VI also felt the difference from the parliament and the previous. attitude.

Before meeting with the nobles of the Parliament, Alexander VI clearly felt their indifference. Although those people were respectful and courteous, the attitude of refusing to be thousands of miles away was still obvious.

Although this little dinner does not explain anything now, the Pope was keenly aware of the subtle changes.

The Pope enthusiastically recommended Alexander ’s signature dishes to his hometown. Watching Alexander ’s careful cutting of the wheat bread, the Pope raised his glass towards the one who had just walked in while laughing at his “no knowledge”. Grisaro salutes.

"Hope not to disturb you, and hope your majesty has a good appetite," the secretary bowed slightly to Weng and his sons, and then sat in the chair opened by the servant to watch the chowder served in front of him. "To be honest, I am right about this I don't like it very much, but I hope you will be satisfied. "

"I'm very satisfied. It's authentic. I believe that even in Valencia, this dish will make the locals applaud."

Looking at the Pope in a good mood, Grisaro quickly glanced at Alexander. In fact, what he said to him and the chief veteran was somewhat different. Grisaro not only wanted to be with the Pope, but also wanted to be with this The Duke of Thesia in Rome cooperated,

The victory of the Principality of Rome Thesia in Italy cannot but attract the attention of the Judah Assembly, whether it is because he knows their secrets or because the new Principality has already attracted their attention. The people of the Judah Assembly believe that cooperation with the young duke is in The future is profitable.

After thousands of years of evolution, the Judah Conference has long lived up to the ideals of the year. They are now just eager to obtain greater benefits. Even if all of this still uses faith as an excuse, this can not hide their pursuit of power.

It was a coincidence that the young Duke of Rome Thesia came into their sight, but this did not prevent them from seeing this person as one of their future partners, just like Don Bavi and Zepez of Taransivania, they I have invested in these people, but now it seems that the strength of the Duke has shown so far, it seems more worthy of attention.

Grisaro is actually not very optimistic about Don Bavi. Although the old nobles are willing to cooperate with Don Bavi for their needs, Grisaro thinks that this person may not be able to succeed.

Even now he is still not very optimistic about the prospects of Don Bavi, not only because the Andalusian coalition was beaten down by Gonzalo before, but Grisaro always believed that Don Bavi was not necessarily Isabella's opponent.

But this young man named Alexander Juliant Gumbre is different. His army has just won the French army. More importantly, the strength that the Free Trade Union gradually demonstrated in the Mediterranean is what made the Judah Assembly The real reason people value him.

In addition, the identity of the Pope's son-in-law is also a reason why the people of the Judah Assembly feel that he has a key role. If it can penetrate into the upper levels of the church, this is the goal that the people of the Judah Assembly have always dreamed of but have never been able to achieve, even now Alexander VI It is such a situation, but if you can get in touch with the people around him, this is also a golden opportunity for the Judah.

Perhaps even because of the situation today, they can find a way to reach a certain tacit agreement with the pope himself. If so, it would be better.

"Your Majesty, you know that the Queen is in a bad situation now, so the elders think it is necessary to propose the regency of Princess Juana at a critical time, and even consider whether she should be directly inherited from the throne."

Grissaro noticed that when he said this, the pope's slightly rickety back seemed to straighten up, and then he wanted to relax and continue to taste the wine in his hand.

"Then the parliament is preaching before the request of His Majesty to revise it?" Alexander asked this question for the Pope.

"There is indeed such a request. You know that this is related to the issue of Princess Juana's inheritance," Grisaro said, adding quickly. "But you can rest assured that you will be compensated for all possible losses in Valencia. At the same time you will get a generous return. "

Alexander VI said that he didn't say anything about the wine in his hand, and now he suddenly felt that it was really good to have a son-in-law who could speak the way and could compare him, although this son-in-law was sometimes unreliable and even habitual. He pits the old man, but thinking about this is the traditional skill of the Pogia family, he will no longer care about this little thing.

Alexander did not speak immediately, he was waiting for the secretary to continue.

Sure enough, seeing that there was no reaction to the son-in-law, Grisaro coughed and continued, "As for Princess Juana, I mean Enric ’s daughter, Juana, the chief veteran thinks that this should still be decided by the Parliament. The status of a princess in the Astamala family. "

With a "bang", the wine glass in the pope's hand fell heavily on the table, and the spilled wine was scattered everywhere. Alexander VI stared at the lobbyist with a somber face, although he didn't speak, but his The move has fully demonstrated how angry.

"Your Majesty, I think you should probably go to rest." Alexander said softly to the Pope, seeing that the Pope didn't open his mouth and only nodded. He smiled apologetically to the secretary, and then accompanied Alexander VI to leave the restaurant.

When he walked out of the door, the angry face of the pope looked relaxed, and he whispered to Alexander while walking: "These **** Castilians, they are really stingy and disgusting, don't they really know what we want What, who cares about his little money, do they think they ’re sending out Huahuazi? ”

"Please forgive your majesty, if the sermon angered Ferdinand and caused your property in Valencia to be lost, I think the approximate number may be 600,000 to 800,000 florins," when the pope was suddenly faced with this number With a stunned expression, Alexander did not forget to add "Of course, if you are willing to convert to Ladia, there may not be much, but I believe that this situation will pass soon."

"Wait a minute, I do n’t remember that I have such a fortune in Valencia, tell me what you did," Alexander VI stared at his son-in-law suspiciously for a while, and then his face appeared blank. Look "That villa, tell me is it because of the villa you built for me?"

"It was a luxurious palace, and it was built in the name of Ferdinand for you, which is enough to prove how grateful the king is to you, and how important your sermon is, so I think this is enough to make The nobles of Toledo reconsidered our conditions. "

There was a smile on Alexander VI ’s face, and he grabbed Alexander ’s hand to exert his strength, and at the same time whispered approvingly in his mouth: “This is the way to do it, this is a Borgia, if you want us to contribute to them The price is affordable, but the price in Borgia is very high. "

It turned out that he really nodded his head and gave the pope to the servant who was waiting nearby. Then he turned back to the restaurant.

Grisaro, who was already impatient, stood up immediately. He felt that it was easier to deal with the duke than with the pope. This is not to say that he felt that this young man dealt with it better, but both sides Understand what you need.

"Please forgive the Duke, I want to know if you want Princess Juana to inherit the throne of Castile?" Grisaro knew that Alexander should know who he was referring to this Juana "I have to say this is not a good idea If Juana really became the king of Portugal, according to the agreement between the two countries for many years, she must give up the Castile throne. So your plan will not succeed. "

There was a trace of doubt in Grissarro's heart. He didn't understand what the son-in-law did so hard to figure out for Enrique's daughter. Even if their plan was successful, what would they get for themselves? ?

Alexander, who entered the room, ignored Grissarro. He sat back in his seat, looked at the steaming chowder on the plate in front of him, and took a knife to carefully pick up a piece of rabbit meat inside. Then put it in your mouth.

Because it is boring with other ingredients, the unique taste of rabbit meat chews a different flavor. Although people's craftsmanship at this time is really dare not compliment, but this unique Valencian chowder makes Alexander quite satisfied.

Grisaro did not disturb Alexander. He knew that no matter what his identity was, this might be a long negotiation.

"The Pope will not accept alms, maybe his situation is not very good, but if you look carefully, you will know that the kings are still full of reverence for His Majesty," Alexander said unhurriedly, his eyes fixed. Always stay on the chowder in front of me, it seems that the interest in the food in front of me is greater than the topic under discussion. "Please go back and tell Don Julio Mando to ask him to announce Enric ’s daughter Juana. Astamara is a blood relative of Enrique IV and a member of the royal family of Castile, and announced that the princess was blessed by Pope Alexander VI. If you meet the Pope ’s request, you can get what you want. of."

"Only these?" Grissarro asked suspiciously. He always felt that there was a conspiracy in it, and this was also very obvious, but he really couldn't understand the mystery of it, but after thinking about it, Grissarro It was decided that Alexander should still be told something in exchange for his affection for the Judah, and speaking of the news, I believe that it will soon spread. "Don Bavi wrote a letter to Don Julio Mando, which mentioned Some conditions annoyed the chief veteran, and now the relationship between Toledo and Andalusia seems a bit subtle. "

"Thank you sir secretary," Alexander then tilted his head slightly, his eyes missed a huge flower basket placed in the middle of the table, and looked seriously at Grissar opposite. "Trust me, you will get it because of today's goodwill Good news. "

Looking at the smile-like expression on Alexander's face when he said this, Grizarro's heart burst into a strange feeling that he could not speak. He felt that the expression was like a thumbs-up, but he had an indescribable irony. For a moment he felt very uncomfortable in his heart.

The content of Don Bavie ’s letter to Don Julio Mando was quickly leaked out. Toledo ’s nobility demonstrated with uncontrollable anger and curse about the condition of “Permanent Andalusian ruler” Their attitude.

It ’s just that they also know that Don Bavi is now dominant, and Gonzalo is sent north to fight the French and Portuguese, which gives Don Bavi a rare opportunity, especially when he recaptures Gwadar After the control of the lower reaches of the river, the support from the sea not only allowed him to quickly recover his previous losses, but also began to actively develop throughout Andalusia.

At the same time, Toledo also received news that Isabella sent a messenger to negotiate with Don Bavi, which made the Toledo nobles a little nervous. They were worried about what agreement was reached between the Queen and Don Bavi. If that's the case, Isabella will relentlessly attack Toledo once she can relax.

For a time, from Barialido to Toledo, the most talked about was Don Bavi.

One day in September, a small canal cargo ship sailed downstream along the Tagus River ~ www.ltnovel.com ~ The ship was full of golden and attractive oranges, a fruit from southern Andalusia Very large, as long as you break apart the rough outer skin, you can see the dark red flesh of the petals inside.

Now this season is a good time for such a harvest of Andalusian oranges. Looking at this passing cargo ship, some merchants can't help but look envious.

"Toledo is Toledo again," said rosacea to James, who was always on the alert on the deck. He had always been like this along the way. "Who shall we hand that nun to?"

"Give it to someone who can make you all rich." James looked back at the hatch covered by a large number of oranges.

There is a Moorish nun inside, but this is not the most important.

The important thing is that this woman claims to be a prophet.

And she had just predicted that James was facing a big trouble.
