Conquer the Dawn of Heaven

The Andalusian Consul Fernando Carole walked back and forth anxiously, and a messenger who had been sent to Buharansi before him stood waiting for his inquiry.

"It's gone, do you mean that no one knows where he went?" Caroly asked the messenger somberly. "He's an old man, and it's said that his legs can't walk anymore. Where can such a person go?"

"Adult, I have inquired everywhere, and no one knows where the Duke is," the messenger said helplessly. "The locals said he hadn't left his castle in a long time, even the people in the city of Buharanse were already very long. Time is gone. "

"Then he disappeared inexplicably?" Carolyn asked angrily, although he also knew that he could not blame the messenger at all, but suddenly there was no news from Don Bavi, which made Carol feel extremely extreme. Uneasy, he walked back and forth two more times and stopped to stare at the messenger. "What else do you hear? Don't tell me you don't know anything."

"There is news that people in the city of Buharanse said that a Duke who appeared to be from the Vatican had seen Duke Don Bavi," the messenger immediately replied "The name of the Duke seems to be the Duke of Roma Tesia."

"What?" There was a trace of consternation on Caroline's fat face, and he also heard about the duke. The queen's personal priest Thomas Tongomada had written to him to tell him that this person was coming, although it was because Sevilla felt that this person should have nothing to do with him, but Caroline still has an impression of the duke from Rome.

Now I suddenly heard that this person actually appeared in Buhalanse, which made the consul surprised.

"What did he do to Buhalanse?"

"It is said that it is an audit of a sacred event."

"Then, Don Bavey disappeared?"

Carrolle began to feel that things were not so simple. Although he didn't speak well, he thought that the Duke from Rome was related to the disappearance of Don Bavi, but he didn't think it would be so coincidental.

Caroline is not a lucky man. This is different from the past kings who always sent their favored cronies around them to take up this position.

Those people often rely on the favors of the kings to make prestige and blessings in those jurisdictions, and then after being flattered by the local lords and nobles, these fat-eaten guys will return to the palace in a few years to enjoy the blessings. .

But Caroline is a person who really has high hopes from Isabella. He knows his purpose of coming to Andalusia, and he knows how important this is to the queen.

If the little nobles he had dealt with through various means before were just the prelude to this big drama, then solving the problem of Don Bavey was his ultimate goal in Andalusia.

And this is the most important task that Isabella gave him. From the beginning, his goal was Don Bavi, the most prominent nobleman known as Castilla.

Now he suddenly heard that a nobleman from the Vatican appeared, and then Don Bavi disappeared, which made Caroline immediately realize that things might not be so simple. When he thought that Don Bavi might collude with the Vatican, Carol started Some worry.

Although the Vatican now does not have the supreme authority and prestige as it did centuries ago, it is still a formidable behemoth of the entire Christian world. The transcendental status and the majesty that has gradually accumulated and deposited over the past century are by no means any. People can easily shake the challenge.

Although Carole did n’t know that only a few decades later, the Western Christian world would face a severe break since the split between the Eastern and Western churches centuries ago, and even almost directly shake the foundation of the Western Catholic Church, but at least for now In the eyes of Caroline, the intervention from the Vatican is still worrying.

"A sacred place?" Caroline seemed to suddenly realize the key to the matter. "Can you know what sacred place? Do not all the sacred places have to be reported to the Archdiocese first? The Duke of Rome Tesia had not been in Pakistan Liadod, why did he suddenly go to Buhalanse? "

The series of questions from the consul made the messenger look embarrassed, and looked at the messenger's blank eyes. Caroline, who knew nothing to ask, waved him down with a wave of his hand.

The sudden accident made the consul a little bit confused. Carolyn never underestimated Don Bavey. He knew that the old man had great reputation not only among the nobles, but also the attitude of the queen himself towards the duke It's also complicated.

According to Carole, Isabella hoped that Don Bavi would voluntarily give up her territory. She even vaguely revealed to Don Bavi that if he could help herself realize the desire to reclaim the territory from the nobles, she could Give this supporter the title of "Vice King" and "Guardian of the Kingdom".

This shows that Isabella, knowing Don Bawei's strength and influence, hopes to get his help without violent changes as much as possible, and then realize the unity of power in the kingdom.

But now it seems that things are much more troublesome than thought.

Don Bavey ’s sudden disappearance gave Caroline a hunch that it seemed that the deep gap between the Queen and the emperor of the kingdom she had always relied on had finally evolved into an irreparable one, and it could only be swallowed up. One side is the abyss of the result.

Thinking about it, Carol felt that he could not be careful about this matter. He took out a pen and paper and began to write to the queen. Because there were too many hidden things involved, he could not even call the clerk to write a ghost.

"Dear Your Majesty, please allow me to report to you that something that is happening in Andalusia makes me worry ..."

As Carole wrote to his queen, Isabella was also facing something that made her extremely annoyed and angry.

The Portuguese are becoming more and more active on the Atlantic Ocean, which makes Isabella feel threatened, but this is not the worst. The news from Lisbon is what makes Isabella angry.

Although I have heard that Manuel seems to have a deep contradiction with Maria, Isabella still does n’t care much. In fact, even the combination between her and Ferdinand, if it is because of love, Isabella will sneer.

She would think that just because Maria was standing behind a strong United Kingdom and a tough double king, she thought that Manuel finally knew how to choose, so she did n’t have to worry about things in Portugal. .

But it seemed to be a satire to her. Just after Isabella received an urgent letter from the ambassador to Portugal, the content of the letter surprised Isabella.

"The queen has been sent to a convent in Lisbon. Please allow me to tell you that Princess Juana is also in this monastery, which makes me very worried."

The letter from the ambassador surprised Isabella. She already knew from Maria that Manuel had allowed Juana to move to the supposedly remote convent, although it did cause a slight Shabella's attention, but when she thought of having a daughter in Portugal, she didn't care much anymore.

After all, Enrique has been dead for a long time, and Juana has fallen out of a betrayal after defeating the throne. Seeing that there is no chance to turn over in this life, since it seems that you do n’t need to be a doomed loser too. Distracted.

But now the letter made Isabella aware that things seemed to suddenly change unexpectedly.

The contradiction between the husband and wife turned into a war, and then Manuel ’s action, which seemed to disregard the attitude of the United Kingdom, became an introduction that allowed the situation to evolve into real conflict.

The act of sending Maria into the convent can already be regarded as a provocation to the twin kings, and the choice is even more intriguing.

What will Manuel do next, simply release Juana formally from the monastery?

If this is the case, it means nothing.

When did the Portuguese actually become so courageous?

Isabella's thought flashed through her heart. She felt that something must have gone wrong, otherwise how could so many things happen suddenly.

"Maybe Carlos should be back." This thought flashed over Isabella's heart. The trust in her husband when she encountered various difficulties and obstacles over the years made her first think of Ferdinand, but this idea is only It disappeared immediately after a flash.

Isabella knew that Ferdinand was not easy in Aragon. Although the two countries are converging, they have always been opposed.

Although the voice of opposition has diminished as the power of the Shuangwang couple gradually stabilized, this does not mean that everything went smoothly.

Opponents have only concealed themselves, but they have never stopped the destruction of the reunification of the two countries, but their actions have become more secretive.

Isabella felt that her body was not as good as before, which made her a little scared.

She is not afraid of death. Sometimes recalling her previous life, she was surprised that she actually survived and achieved such a huge achievement. She even completed a feat that the previous generations of the Rastamara family could not achieve and walked out of the completion. A key step in unification!

Thinking about this, Isabella felt that she should be satisfied in her life, but when she thought of death, she was worried about her descendants.

She still remembers her son Juan's helplessness when she became terminally ill a few years ago, and she can never forget the pain of losing her son and the uneasy panic caused by the vacant crown prince.

Isabella ’s worries are not without reason. Among her several daughters, whether they are Maria or Catherine, they have become the current or future queen because they are married to Portugal and England, but this status is also It means that they must give up the throne of the future United Kingdom, otherwise the future Spain will be in danger of being annexed.

This is what Isabella absolutely does not want to see.

So compared to the only one who meets the conditions of succession to the throne is Juana.

But the situation of Juana is so worrying. According to the diagnosis of the court doctors, Juana's spirit has sometimes reached a point where she can't control herself. She doesn't even know what she has done.

The poor situation of Juana made Isabella completely at ease.

What worries her more is another Juana.

Isabella could n’t imagine what an uproar would happen if Juana had an accident. After all, at that time, Juana, who was far away in Lisbon, could justify her request for the throne.

The nobles of Castile will never allow Mary and Catherine or their children to become their own queens.

At that time, it seems that Enrique's daughter has become the only option to continue the Castile royal family.

As long as I think about it, Isabella feels that she is in a thin position now. She even considers whether to write to the master in Portugal to let him completely solve the huge hidden danger of Juana, but when I think of this and Portugal Isabella couldn't help but hesitate when it might cause trouble in a time when the relationship was quite sensitive.

The door knocked lightly, and a servant walked into the room with a box. After checking that the wax seal was intact, Isabella opened the box and took out a secret letter.

The letter was written by Isabella ’s naval commander to the new colony. From the very sloppy handwriting, we can see the urgency of the person who wrote the letter.

"Dear Your Majesty, please allow me to report to you that one of our fleet in Azores was brutally attacked by the Portuguese ..."

Only at the beginning, Isabella's face changed instantly.

Azores, an archipelago in the Atlantic Ocean, is the only way to the new colony.

This vast archipelago was first discovered by the Portuguese a few decades ago. Although it caused a sensation at the time, no one really realized the significance of this archipelago in the future.

With the discovery of new colonies, people gradually realized that the Azores will be the hub connecting the old and the new world, especially with Columbus's several expeditions, the great wealth of the new colony is led by Isabella. The Castilians realized the important geographical and military value of the islands deep in the Atlantic Ocean.

So Isabella sent her fleet and generals to penetrate into the Azores.

Of course, Isabella knew that such a move could easily cause a fierce reaction from the Portuguese, so she has been careful, and without angering the Portuguese, Isabella hopes to gradually turn the Arthur Islands into Spain on the Atlantic. An important maritime transportation hub.

Isabella obviously has extraordinary foresight and hard-to-see eyes, but the Portuguese responded a little slower in this regard. They paid too much attention to the new route of the East, and even turned all their eyes there.

The Pope Meridian line demarcated by Alexander VI made them concentrate all their energy on hoping to find the sea route to the East through Africa, so although Isabella ’s actions in the Azores Be alert, but fail to respond quickly.

Because of this, when Isabella received the report sent back by her navy general, she quickly realized the seriousness of the situation.

Reminiscent of Maria's situation in Portugal during this time, Isabella suddenly raised anxiety and anxiety from her heart.

It has been a long time since she had felt this way. The last time she heard about Ferdinand and an Aragonese woman inheriting an illegitimate child.

Now, Isabella once again felt the feeling that made her anxious. She quickly issued an order to summon the minister, and after hesitating for a while, she still ordered someone to call Philip.

For Philip, Isabella could not be satisfied or dissatisfied. The only thing she was worried about now was that once one day she died, perhaps Philip would have an inevitable huge conflict with Ferdinand.

Isabella believes that this is not her cranky thinking. She also sees her husband ’s ambitions and Philip ’s plans very clearly.

But she also knew clearly that the Castilian nobles could not accept being crowned by a Portuguese or English heir, nor could they accept Ferdinand as their king, so that Juana became the only one Expectation, and Philip also inevitably encroach on Castilla's rule.

Isabella felt a headache. It was because her body was obviously not good in the past two years, so she was more worried about the future. The unexpected behavior of the Portuguese now gives her a strong sense of crisis. She feels that she must Make the best arrangements for the future when you still have control over it.

Philip was a bit surprised by Isabella ’s summons. Since coming to Valladolid, his status has become embarrassing. He is Juana ’s husband, but he has no other status here except for this identity. Yes, although everyone is suspiciously flattering him because of his identity, he always feels that he is an outsider.

In addition to his father-in-law, he also has a strong sense of vigilance, because whether it is a warning from his father or his own feelings, Philip feels that Ferdinand seems to regard him as an obstacle to ruling Castile, so in order to eliminate Fei This kind of vigilance in Dinan, he has nothing to do except finding a woman every day, but Juana's Hu is very tangled but just makes him tireless.

So when he heard that Isabella summoned him to participate in the State Council, Philip was cautious while excited.

What Philip did n’t expect was that Isabella had to discuss, actually about relations with Portugal.

"I have to make a tough response. It's an insult to me as Queen Castilla to let this happen." Isabella said to the ministers who stood before her ~ www.ltnovel.com ~ Although she was no longer young, she still stood upright as before, even if it made her feel very uncomfortable, but she refused to bend down.

"But your majesty, this may lead to changes in our relations with Portugal," a minister said with a little concern. "We heard that Manuel seems to be dealing with the French frequently. This can't help but be more careful. . "

"French?" Isabella's eyes swept over the ministers' faces and finally fell on Philip's face. "Louis is now fighting the emperor in Rome. You think the French have extra power to intervene with Portugal at this time. Disputes between them? "

Isabella's doubts caused the ministers to turn their eyes to Philip.

Facing those questioning eyes, Philip finally said after hesitating a little: "Your Majesty, please rest assured, I believe that the emperor's army will never give Louis any chance to breathe."

"In this case, let us prepare for the worst," Isabella's eyes quickly passed over everyone's face. "Trust me, I have a hunch, and Manuel may become my enemy. , Then are we going to declare war on this next? "
