Conquer the Dawn of Heaven

Maria returned to the palace the next day earlier than before. Usually, she returned to the palace on the afternoon of the dinner time. The observance of such a regular time for nearly 2 years has made people think of this It is a matter of course, so when the news that Mary returned to the city in the morning in advance arrived at the palace, it made some people feel a bit confused.

Several young women who didn't usually appear in the court often left the palace. One of the most beautiful because they ran directly from the king's bedroom, so the clothes were messy and almost tripped on the road.

Regarding the fact that Manuel I had a mistress, whether it was Maria or her dead sister Isabella was actually aware of it, but they were smart enough not to expose it. These wisdoms are to learn Since their mothers, when they heard that Ferdinand II and the Countess Penait had not only played hot, and even gave birth to two illegitimate children, Queen Isabella did not get angry and questioned her husband. , But pretending to be completely unaware while carefully guarding his status, which seems to be weak to the woman, but in fact Isabella knows her status and knows that she is irreplaceable, in fact It didn't take long for Ferdinand II to quickly get tired of the Countess of Borateon, who was aging.

Maria learned these ingenious methods from her mother and used them quite well. Although Manuel I had a constant relationship with some women, he was really just eager for their beauty and freshness, and never moved. The idea of ​​which woman to replace Mary as queen will be much more reliable than Henry VIII, his future brigade in England.

Maria was in a hurry, although some people concealed it, but some people still saw that the queen seemed to have some concerns. Just when the reported Manuel could not help worrying that what he stole was about to be exposed, Mary had arrived. Outside the king ’s room, and although it was polite to order the maid to report inside, she could n’t wait for the king ’s permission to break in directly.

This made Manuel I, who was already guilty, startled. As a king who inherited the throne only because of the unexpected death of the crown prince, Manuel I lacked the strong spirit and has been training for many years. His calmness, even if he has been a king for many years, sometimes he still involuntarily shows some kind of indifference or inexplicable cowardice, which is probably why he is dissatisfied with Maria ’s tough attitude. , But always dare not show the reason.

"Someone has come to Rome," Maria's words made Manuel stunned. He didn't know what he had to do with the Romans, but from the queen's appearance he didn't seem to be because of his The idea made the king slightly relieved, and at this time Maria had continued to say "the Pope's cronies, his daughter Lucrezia's lover, the Earl of Montina, but I heard that he is now Rome Duke of Tesia. "

"Oh." Manuel answered, and then turned his head slightly to show his wife an inquiring expression.

"Oh? This is your answer? Don't you find it strange, why did that person come to Portugal and return to Lisbon?" Maria asked annoyedly.

"Then ... Why did the Duke of Rome Tecia come here?" Manuel was relieved a little at this time, and since it wasn't his thing, he seemed interested and lacking. Speaking of Iberia too far from Rome Well, despite their extraordinary piety, it always feels like Rome is in the sky here. As for what happened in the Vatican, sometimes when the news came, it was all wrong, so Manuel Not very concerned.

"Because it ’s a miracle my majesty, it ’s a miracle!" Maria was annoyed and did n’t know what to say. Although she did have feelings for her motherland, she was also the queen of Portugal after all, so when she heard that the pope ’s prospective son-in-law suddenly quietly After arriving in Lisbon, Maria ’s mind could not help moving. Although she did not have the ambitions of creating a new holy place and heaven on earth like her mother, she made Portugal the most religious example of the Christian world. She is always passionate about it.

"This is a rare opportunity. We want to let the Duke of Rome Tesia see what we have done, devout people, guide them to guard the kings and queens of the Christ world, the magnificent cathedral, and the atmosphere of faith than anywhere in Europe. It must be a strong Lisbon court. "Maria said excitedly, she began to talk to herself in front of the king while walking and talking to herself, and every time she did this, it meant that the matter had not been fixed. Too.

Manuel has calmed down from the beginning because of the fear of being caught in a derailment. He first took a careful look at Maria and found that she was indeed just worried about this matter, so he just said: "But Where is this duke now, if we want to let him know what we have done, we must at least see his people. "

Hearing this, Maria ’s face changed slightly. When I heard from the Thiegor that the Duke of Rome Tesia actually visited her cousin, Maria instantly felt that things seemed to develop a little Unexpectedly, she immediately asked what the purpose of the duke was to do this, but she didn't get much more useful things from Thiegó.

This allows Maria to understand, after all, a businessman can not know so much, but even this is enough to make her all kinds of associations, even Maria also carefully recalled what she knew about Juana. Of those people, who else has a close relationship with the Vatican.

But after thinking all night and having no answer, Maria finally decided to invite the duke directly to the palace. Although his current identity is more like a secret envoy to micro-visit, this does not hinder him and the hospitable Queen of Portugal. meet.

"The duke is said to be in Lisbon now, and it can be found with a little thought, but because he was under the Pope's secret order to examine the miracle, maybe he would not be willing to let others know his real name." Maria said With.

In fact, she had already heard from Tiego that the duke's pseudonym "The Earl of Agri Joel Modillo" was now living in a house not too far from the palace.

Tiego will know this, it is said that it was purely because he had heard about it when he was doing business in Rome a few days ago, and it seems that the Vatican is still in full swing for miracles on the Iberian Peninsula.

Of course, Maria knew her mother ’s ambition to become the king of the Holy Land, so it was natural to have such a big reaction to the Vatican. After all, the Pope was a Borgia family from Valencia, which made Alexander VI no matter what. Any response to what happened on the Iberian Peninsula will cause people's attention and controversy.

"We have to let the duke see what happened in Portugal, and we have to remind him that whatever my cousin promised him is useless," said Mary's face, and she had decided The duke should be invited to the court as soon as possible.

As for Juana, she felt that as long as she knew that the Duke had accepted the invitation to be a guest in the court, it was enough to dispel her messy thoughts.

Manuel I just listened from the beginning to the end, he was very clear that on the topic of faith and Juana, Maria always insisted on her decision undoubtedly, since then he simply gave up expressing different opinions, And he was somewhat curious about what kind of person the Duke of Roman Tesia was.

Alexandria is heard even in Portugal, especially after the Battle of Bucharest, Alexandria's name has been spread to the Iberian Peninsula far away in southwestern Europe.

For the war that guarded the gates of the Christian world, the Portuguese were equally excited, even not long after the war to regain the lost ground, because the Iberians who had experienced the same feelings for the Balkans for many years because they were ruled by the Moors, were more than others. Local people are more happy from the heart of the victory of this war.

Therefore, Manuel I was not disgusted with the arrival of Alexandria. Although the Pope ’s secret emperor ’s identity sounded like a conspirator, I can think about the things my mother-in-law did in Castile. However, Manuel understands that the Vatican did this for various reasons.

After all, a miracle pops up every three or five, and even a place may find a manger that was like **** when he was born, and many places are considered to be the villages and cities that **** Christ has visited. In similar or exactly the same places, this kind of thing happens so much that even the Holy See probably feels not only inappropriate, it may even be replaced by another holy place with a sense of crisis.

"Then invite the Duke to come, as for Juana, I think she may just want to complain to the Vatican." Manuel said casually, he did not have much thoughts on Juana, after all, helped the princess to Portugal A huge price was paid, and even later he would even marry two Castile princesses for this reason.

"She has something to complain about. Does she want to change her situation by complaining to the Vatican?" Maria said indignantly. She felt that she might be too kind to this cousin if she could deal with Enrique like her mother. It would be great to deal with Juana like that.

Manuel shook his head silently, he didn't want to say much about this, but it was Maria's next sentence that caught his attention.

"I heard that businessman Thiego said that the Duke's entourage seemed to have a Genoese named James Columbus, who seemed to be the brother of Christopher Columbus," Maria said to Manuel He glanced at "I don't know why this man came with the duke."

Manuel I immediately showed a look of interest. He naturally heard of Columbus, and was also very interested in the new route that Columbus announced to India, but Da Gama also discovered the new route. The huge success made him temporarily ignore the news of Castile.

Suddenly heard the news about Columbus, even if it was only his brother, he was still interested.

Mary knew that this topic would surely attract her husband's attention to the duke. As a queen of Portugal, she was very eager for Portugal to become a part of the new holy place in the future.

Sure enough, Manuel A was immediately excited.

"Can we send someone to invite the Duke to the castle, is it better to bring the one who is also called Columbus, and I am now looking forward to seeing him."

Maria restrained her head and nodded. She felt like what her husband had said. After sniffing her nose slightly and sniffing the faint ambiguity in the room, she frowned and uttered a "hum". After her nasal noises, she barely maintained the calm on her face and saluted the king a little, then turned her head stiffly and walked out of the room.

Alexander lives in a house in the Grand Market Square, which is only two streets away from Saint-Jorge Castle. It is also very close to Prince Enrique Avenue, as long as you cross a not long alley to get to the street, and then A short walk will bring you to the current residence of Thiago.

Alexander did not want to conceal his relationship with Thiego, or even the fact that he visited Juana, because he knew it was impossible to hide under Maria ’s eyes for a long time, after all, for Hu Although Anna's surveillance has been relaxed a lot, she never stopped, so it was only a matter of time before Maria discovered his connection with Juana.

Therefore, since this is the case, it is better to take the initiative to disclose this news to Maria or Manuel, maybe this can have unexpected gains.

James Columbus has not been informed since he left Florence, even some people around Alexander are about to forget him.

But in fact James Columbus never broke his ties with Alexander, especially in the past two years, although he was not on the continent, but the continent still has his legend.

In the past two years, relying on the nautical diary belonging to his brother Christopher Columbus, James went to Africa and also to the new continent regarded as the east coast of India, but he never used his real name. Instead, names such as Pablo Roberts and Jack Sparrow were used.

James would be so willing to take part in an incognito sailing adventure again and again for one reason, that is, while Alexander provided him with all the necessary funding needed for sailing ~ www.ltnovel.com ~ also sent him to get all Generous conditions for obtaining half of the wealth.

And even Columbus, it is impossible to get so much from Queen Isabella.

And there is a place where James is most interested in, that is, the anonymity of the anonymous name allows him to do some decent people at sea.

And his contact on the land is Tiego. After handing over a large number of adventures or simply looted wealth to Tiego, the respected James Columbus Yan is already a gigantic sea giant. Rich.

Now James is sitting opposite Alexandria. His original squat figure now looks much stronger than before, and his face is no longer the unhealthy white, but is unique to the perennial sea life. Shiny dark brown.

On the table, there was a letter that had been opened, and the eye-catching three-cross emblem showed the distinguished identity of the person who sent the letter.

Looking at the letter, James's eyes narrowed slightly. He looked at Alexander with interest, as if waiting for him to speak.

"Invitation from the queen," Alexander laughed to himself, picked up the letter and put it gently on his hand, then the smile on his face faded away, his gaze from the faces of the men sitting around the long table Sweep "Let us present a most precious gift to the honorable queen."
