Conquer the Dawn of Heaven

On the second day, an unexpected visitor visited Lukrezija Palace.

Machiavelli came in a hurry, and it was almost dark before he hurried into the city, and then he didn't want to report to the Ducal Palace routinely about his arrival, but rushed directly to the Lukrezija Palace, because he knew At this time, the count should be with his family, not in the Ducal Palace.

Just before Machiavelli entered the city, Pisa had just undergone a small change.

The chief congressman announced his resignation on the grounds that he had made inappropriate remarks, but at the same time he also expressed to the people of Pisa the huge changes he has seen in the past few years as a Pisa, which gave him confidence to believe that Pisa was in the Duke Under the leadership of His Royal Highness, he will surely be able to move towards a new glory. As His Highness Duke ’s father and Regent of Pisa, the former Chief Councillor also believed that the Earl of Montina would do his due diligence for Pizza. Effort, wait, wait, wait ... wait ...

The resignation of the chief congressman did not cause much turmoil. In fact, today ’s pizza is no longer the kind of situation where the parliament and the ruling group, or the parliament and the duke, are in competition. The non-stop fulfillment of the Duke, or Alexander's will, and the exchange of such obedience from them is the huge profits and returns brought by the trade union.

So the current chief councilor saw that his resignation request was passed so smoothly, and he did n’t even know how naive his previous actions seemed to Alexander after he had passed the resignation speech. Ridiculous again.

So when he walked out of the parliament palace with his face covered in robes, he looked at the excited faces of those who walked past him happily. The former chief congressman had a funny and indifferent look. .

Machiavelli entered the city at this time, and his carriage even crossed the car of the former chief congressman who just left when passing by the Parliament Palace, but Machiavelli did not pay attention to this car, although it was gorgeous, it had been taken off. The conspicuous carriage with a red cross badge on a white background was only available to members of Parliament. He heard him hurriedly after he came back. He even ate food on the way.

Machiavelli cannot help but even in Florence, but he has also heard some rumors and all kinds of rumors that pizza is circulating in the recent period, "merging Florence", "unifying Tuscany" and "the Grand Duchy of Pisa" "The voice was very loud, which made the Florentines uneasy for a time.

As a Florentine, Machiavelli firmly believes that he loves his city and country, or even if he finally has to accept the result of the complete annexation of Florence, he still hopes that this is an acceptable one, and he can retain the dignity of Florence. Under the premise of.

At least not as some pizzas have said, Florence was completely swallowed by Pizza at no cost, which made Machiavelli feel that his previous efforts were completely wasted, just as a woman about to get married was suddenly abandoned by her fiance. Can only stand aside and watch other women enjoy everything he had prepared for himself.

To put it bluntly, Machiavelli is not willing to be without him in this matter, at least everything should be done in accordance with his participation and planning.

So when I heard that Alexander had arrived in Pisa, he was entrusted and dispatched by the Florence government, also for his own purposes. Machiavelli hurried on the road early in the morning under the cold wind.

When Alexander saw Machiavelli, he almost didn't recognize him. The diplomat was haggard and tired. Because of bad road conditions, he had to move the carriage out of the snow pit again and again and it was all muddy. The clothes looked dirty, which made Alexander feel that the diplomat seemed more embarrassed than before.

"What happened?" Although Alexander could roughly guess the purpose of Machiavelli's rush, but seeing him like this made Alexander feel that the Florentines really couldn't sit still.

"Adult, are you really planning to merge Florence?" Machiavelli could hardly take care of the etiquette. This fact is too important for him, not only for Florence, but also for his own future. everything of.

Machiavelli does not hide his ambitions in the future. This is different from many people. Most people always want to prove that although they are eager to get a higher position, they do this to serve the country better. , And Machiavelli did not do this, he clearly showed his ambition to the people he longed for help in exchange for his attention.

Especially in front of Alexander, Machiavelli even thought that if he could not prove his desire for power, perhaps the count would think he had other ideas.

"Sir, it is not the right time for you to merge Florence," Machiavelli tried to stop this idea "I know that after you have won a series of victories, if you take the opportunity to announce the merger of Florence, it will be easy, but you have thought that this is not the case. Doing so may cause the Vatican or others to be vigilant and disgusted. They will think that you are eager to get a return after every victory. So where will you make territorial claims after the next war, Ferrara or Bologna, please believe I ’m not the best choice for you today, and you do n’t have to worry so much, after all, Florence is already yours, you just taste the fruit a little later. "

Alexander looked at the diplomat who was anxiously declaring the purpose of the mission and raised his hand to signal him to sit down.

"You have explained your intention, then I want to know if this is the meaning of the Florence government, that is, Sazi, or your own idea?"

Machiavelli's agitated expression on his face instantly froze, and he gasped slightly to force himself to calm down, because he knew that from now on it was the really crucial moment for him, and it was a reputation as a hero to save Florence. At the same time, Gui will be appreciated by the count because of his sane and calm opinions, or he will completely mess up the matter and go back in disregard, seeing how he answered it.

"My lord, this is my own idea," Machiavelli made his voice as calm and slow as possible, because not only did he need to answer this important question, he also had to use the utterances he had prepared on the way The way of the letter explains clearly, "Adult, your goal is not just Florence, not even Tuscany and Romagna. Why do you have to be eager to expose your intentions to others in such a small area so as to arouse others?" The vigilance is, as I said before, Florence is already yours, now Florence is using Ladia gold coins, if you knock on each door of the house in the evening, you will see that they are delivered from Pisa on the table For food, women use the powder and the expensive perfume that can only be bought by pizza. Even the weapons of the Florentine Civil Army are provided by Pizza. Florence has become a big market for pizza people to earn wealth. , And all Florence can do is to process the wool, leather and pizza to provide pizza with enough workers, which is difficult Is n’t that enough, Florence is already a vassal of Pisa, and the only thing they now retain is an independent reputation, and this reputation of complete existence can earn you a good reputation of kindness and tolerance, which is for you now It ’s really necessary, because it can let people know that you have not only lion-like bravery, but also angelic kindness, which will make your enemies fear you and bring your friends closer to you. ”

Alexander listened quietly to Machiavelli's long talk, and he had to admit that someone who could write "On the Monarchy" did have an uncommon tongue, but Alexander knew that Machiavelli's intention was not for Florence.

What kind of person was Machiavelli, Alexander already knew when he was stuck in Pisa for a long time.

This is for people who have a strong desire for fame and fortune, and he longs to stand out and hope to gain the appreciation and appointment of the superior. For this, he has attached to Savonarola and became a staff of Sazi. If he continues according to the historical trend , He would try to regain the trust of those in power after the Medicis regained power, for which he wrote the controversial "Monarchy" in later generations, but precisely because of his earlier behavior It's too much criticism, so the new ruler of the Medici family did not accept his diligence, which led to his depression, and finally he was down for the rest of his life.

But this person is indeed a rare talent. The purpose of writing this "Monarchy" is just to win the favor of the Medici family, so that there is a chance to enter, but this impure purpose makes him He wrote a book that is destined to become a controversial monumental monumental work in history. At the same time, he is also a contradiction that is regarded by future generations as a combination of patriotism and selfishness, lofty ideal ambitions, and personal ministry.

For example, now his long speeches seem to be fighting for the last freedom of Florence, but in fact he is constantly suggesting that the complete annexation of Florence actually lacks a name and an excuse. With this excuse, everything Have become almost perfect and can't be picked.

So who can provide this excuse?

Alexander's eyes fell on Machiavelli's face.

"Sir, what you are missing is not an excuse to merge Florence. It is not difficult," Machiavelli said directly to Alexander's answer. "What you are missing is actually one that let Florence actively propose to you to merge with Pisa." opportunity."

Alexander's hand resting casually on the armrest of the chair slightly paused, and he knew that Machiavelli had made the point.

As Machiavelli said, annexation of Florence has never been difficult. Even if he could just send a team of Pisa City defenders and a dog to achieve this goal, what he now wants is to force Florence himself to take the initiative Opportunity under Estrez.

Active attachment and forced annexation, although the result is the same, but it has very different effects.

Alexander could feel Machiavelli ’s strong utilitarian desire, and he longed for a place in Florença ’s future decisions. Even his desire to become a key figure in history was so obvious that he did not need to be too detailed. I can guess.

"So what do you think should be done?"

After a moment of silence, Alexander asked.

Hearing Alexander's inquiry, Machiavelli's dangling heart was excited, and then he jumped violently. He opened his mouth to say something, but found that there was no sound for a while. After breathing hard, he Only excitedly said:

"Adult, if you try to rule Florence by hard means, it is not worth it to you, because it will make you an enemy of too many people, but you can force Florence to take the initiative to Your close war completes this process. "

Alexander's thoughts moved a little, his gaze fell on Machiavelli's smooth forehead, and at this moment a strange thought flashed in his heart: Should he find a chance to cut the head in front of him?

Alexander knew that Machiavelli had said to him.

Pisa in history was threatened by Caesar, who was trying to unify Romagna at the time, and Machiavelli, a diplomat of Florence, took the opportunity to threaten and eventually had to succumb to Florence.

Machiavelli is a person who can take advantage of the situation. From the time when many people were not optimistic about Florence's situation at the time, he was still able to force Pisa to surrender. This shows the ability and wit of this person to grasp the situation.

Although the situation between Florence and Pisa is completely reversed now, Machiavelli continues to follow the path of history and makes exactly the same suggestions.

This made Alexander couldn't help but wonder who would complete this "Monarchy" if he cut off this person's head now.

"Adult, please allow me to say to you that you don't have to focus on Florence at all now, because this city is already yours," Machiavelli's use of this kind of almost sensationalized words attracted Alexander's attention. "You What you should pay attention to now is actually your loved ones. "

Speaking of this, Machiavelli paused and looked at Alexandria brightly. He looked casual, but he couldn't calm down.

Machiavelli believed that Alexander understood what he meant, and it was because of this that he knew what kind of risk he was taking.

Alexander has a lot of relatives, especially because of the woman. If you count carefully, he can be said to have a big "family".

But there are only two relatives who can be considered by Machiavelli and be vigilant.

Now it seems that only the Pogia family should be alert to Alexander.

Caesar ’s failure in Ferrara has devastated Alexander VI ’s dream of establishing a strong papal state. In Machiavelli ’s view, this is enough to create an irreparable rift between the father and son of the pope and Alexander. As of now, the pope No action has been taken against Montina, the Florentines believe that it was not because of Lucrezia's mother and daughter, but because of the power shown by the count to make the father and son taboo.

At this point, Machiavelli feels that the Quasi-Countess performed more commendable and admirable, whether it was a decisive intervention in Ferrara or an almost adventurous occupation of Bologna, and a conspiracy against Bishop Tony de la Rovere The decisive response of Machiavelli seems to be a model of near perfect power competition.

When hearing these news in Florence, Machiavelli had a strong urge to rush to Montina immediately. He thought that with the wisdom shown by the countess, she would be willing to accept herself, and Lukrezi Ya now obviously does not seem to be a good backer.

It was only greater ambition that made Machiavelli abandon this impulsive idea. He knew that to show greater value to the Earl, there must be something that would allow others to value himself, and Florence was regarded as a good gift by him. .

"Do you know what you are suggesting?" Alexander looked at Machiavelli. "Caesar is my brother, and the pope is my father."

"But that doesn't hide their hostility towards you," Machiavelli looked at himself, but he couldn't express nervousness in his heart. He didn't know how Alexander would react to his words. After all, he loved Lucrezia. It is well-known that now he is blatantly provoking his relationship with Borgia and his son, Machiavelli will inevitably worry that "the Pope and the French have always been very close, and Caesar is married to Louis’ cousin. This ca n’t explain what ?"

"Do you think they will threaten my territory?"

"In fact, it doesn't matter, doesn't it?" Machiavelli shrugged, showing an indifferent look.

Alexander nodded slowly. He knew that the Florentine was right. This was really not important.

He wanted to unify Tuscany and Romagna. This unification process is destined to be full of blood and fire.

In this land, the Vatican is bound to become one of the greatest hidden dangers in his Principality because of its unique status.

Just to eliminate this hidden danger, he already had enough reasons to confront the Pope and his son.

Alexander once again looked at Machiavelli seriously. He had to admit that this man could become one of the most influential people of this era, and indeed has the ability and mind that others cannot match.

The Vatican will become a stumbling block for his unification of Romagna-Tuscany. This Alexander has known for a long time, but this conclusion is drawn from the identity of a historical witness, because Alexander knows what will happen to the Vatican for many years to come The figure also knows how when the old Rovere soon got his wish on the pope's throne, he caused a lot of war in Italy, and even the successive battles for four years earned him the title of the pope.

However, Machiavelli only realized the huge contradiction between him and the Vatican that would be difficult to integrate only through the analysis of the current situation. Even through the elaboration of the status of Florence, it has vaguely hinted the arrival of a war.

And this is exactly what Alexander thought of the day before.

Alexander looked at Machiavelli ~ www.ltnovel.com ~ When he was secretly in the heart of the Florentine, he said: "My imperial officer is now in Lombardy, and there is exactly one person near me who can deal with the issues of court affairs. Helper, so I want to know if you are willing to work for me? "

Machiavelli showed a joyful look on his face, although it was not obvious, but it was clever to let Alexander see how happy he was in his heart, and then the Florentines bowed to Alexander respectfully as before, and this time he He bowed his head as a servant rather than a diplomat.

"I believe you will do your job well."

Speaking of this, Alexandria could n’t help but smile. He remembered that Machiavelli had a bad reputation in the past because he changed several masters in his later years, but this person was indeed a rare person in court affairs, and Alexander was confident that he would be His last monarch.

"I experienced a major change that may be relevant to me in my life today," after returning to his residence, Machiavelli used to take out his manuscript that had already been written by Zeng Zuo. The events of the day were recorded. "But I found that when I suggested that the Pope and his son would be the hidden danger of the Earl's reunification, the Earl did not show any surprises. This made me more convinced of my previous judgment. Obviously, the broadcaster has realized that The threat of the Vatican, and he must have had a full plan. It is just that the relationship between the father and son of the Pope and the Earl may have involved Mrs. Lucrezia, which made me doubt whether the Earl would Treat this matter so calmly, and today's experience made me realize that the first thing a qualified ruler needs to have is a heart cold enough, which is more important than any weapon.
