Duke Ludovico of Milan. Sforza joined the Imperial Diet and received the canonization of Maximilian I. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info Moreover, he also married his niece to Maximilian I as a filler. However, the Duchy of Milan was still an Italian Duchy after all, and the cooperation with Maximilian I was more to fight against France.

Therefore, although Marin entered the Duchy of Milan, he was not worried that the Milanese would be angry with Maximilian I. At the end of the day, Ludovico. Sforza was a very arrogant man. He saw himself more as a partner of Maximilian I than as a subordinate. Therefore, he will not do anything particularly to please the emperor.

Marin led his men and horses, and after passing through the Duchy of Milan and Modena, he entered the Florentine region. Here, already in the garrison area of Stadder's army. Although Staad's main force returned to Rome, the officers of the local army that changed the guard were left behind by Staad. Mainly, Stadder did not trust the Italian officers. After all, those Italian officers were all Italian nobles, and Stade despised them a little, fearing that they would not be able to handle the important task of guarding the Florence region, so he proposed to send a few East Frisian officers to manage the Florentine garrison. Julius II understood what Stader was worried about, so he agreed. Anyway, the Italian officers under him were all young people from close families, and they really didn't have much experience. It would also be a good idea to let them learn from East Friesian officers who had combat experience. Moreover, the few left-behind officers selected by Stader were all from knightly families, knew Latin, and there was no obstacle to communicating with Italian officers who were also from noble backgrounds.

Upon entering the city of Florence, Marin was warmly welcomed. The officers from East Friesland were very happy with Marin's arrival. Although they are currently serving the Pope, the ownership of the army is still in Marin's hands, and when they see the biggest boss, whether they are really happy or fake, they must put on an extremely happy posture.

After a few days of comfortable repairs in the city of Florence, Marin traveled south again, arriving in Rome three days later, where he met Julius II.

"Welcome, kid. It's a pleasure to see you again! Julius II happily took Marin's hand and entered the interior of the Lateran Temple.

"I'm glad to meet you, Giuliano!" Marin followed Julius II straight to the inside of the temple to find a place where he could talk and avoid being overheard.

The people in the Holy See who saw this scene, except for the cronies of Julius II, understood what was going on, and everyone else was incredulous.

You know, Julius II was a very dignified pope. Usually those Italian nobles are common, and they also put on a full papal posture to show the majesty of the Holy See.

However, after Marin arrived, Julius II actually took the initiative to hold Marin's hand, which seemed very intimate...... In this era, there is no, and the clergy will not think crookedly. Therefore, everyone thinks about the importance of Marin by the Pope.

Moreover, the most incredible thing for them was that the clergy who approached heard Marin directly call the Pope's real name, and the Pope was not angry......

How did they know that Marin was the son-in-law of His Holiness the Pope, but packed up the two living daughters of His Holiness the Pope, and it can be said that he is the closest descendant of His Majesty the Pope......

Before entering the chamber, Julius II withdrew from the vicinity and put his cronies on guard. Immediately after entering the chamber, Julius II asked:

"Angela and Caesar are alright?"

"Of course, they are very good, and little Caesar can already practice riding with a dog skillfully." Marin couldn't help but laugh at the thought of little Caesar galloping through the palace gardens on the Alsatian wolfhound, the predecessor of Demu. Moreover, Marin specially invited Leonardo da Vinci to spend an oil painting - "Caesar on a Dog Ride", and covered it with glass and hung it on the wall of the royal palace.

"Dog riding?" Julius II thought about the scene and couldn't help but be happy. However, he soon asked worriedly:

"You won't be bitten by dogs, will you?"

"No, a specially selected docile dog, and a specially extracted fang, just for fear of hurting Caesar."

"That's good, by the way, what about Felise? And the little one...... "Julius II didn't remember for a moment what Felise's child was called." After all, he had only seen it once in the letter. However, he is old and does not have a good memory.

"Robert, it's called Robert!" Marin reminded.

"Oh yes, it's called Robert. By the way, what are you going to do with Robert? You know, Robert is an illegitimate child, and there is no way to inherit the title. ”

"I've thought about this for a long time, I plan to wait for Robert to be older and send him to Rome, and you will always find a way to protect him as a cardinal, just like Caesar. Borgia like that. Marin took a sip of water and said nonchalantly.

"Cardinal? Do you plan to let Robert develop in the church and become a bishop of the Episcopal State in the future? When Julius II heard this, he asked uncertainly.

"No, Juliano, I'm going to make Robert like you in the future!" Marin said with a frenzy in his eyes.

"What? You mean, make Robert pope? "Julius II choked directly on the water.

"Of course, why not? With your blessing, he can become a cardinal directly. When I grow up, when I am thirty or forty years old, I plan to spend a lot of money to help him bribe the election, and then I will become the pope? ”

"Oh, how dare you think of it!" Julius II shook his head.

"What's so strange? With your protection, he can become a cardinal from an early age. Wait until a certain age to run for the Pope problematic? ”

"Marin, you don't know, if you want me to protect him, you have to prove that Robert is a member of my family. How do I introduce Robert? Is the illegitimate son of my illegitimate daughter? Julius II asked speechlessly.

"That's no problem, Robert's surname doesn't need to be surnamed Hoffman, change it to Rovere, and it will be easy to explain soon?"

"Uh...... Do you mean to let Robert use Rovere's surname, make him a member of the Rovere family, and then get my blessing without any problems? ”

"Yes, that's it. Anyway, after the pursuit of the Borgia family, the Rovere family has a ten-year blank period, who knows what happened in these ten years? You just say that Robert is a side member of your family, don't you have it? ”

Julius II thought about it, because during the reign of Alexander VI, it was not clear what the members and survivors of the Rovere family were. Therefore, it is also a way to find a random victim of the Rovere family and link Robert's life experience to the past.

"Marin, you know, I don't know how many years I'll live. When I'm gone, there's no one to shelter Robert. When the time comes, he may have a hard time in the Holy See. I don't know if the next pope will like Robert......"

"Smash it with money—" Marin was silent for a moment, then said in a straight voice.

Julius II choked on at once, and he could not find a reason to refute it. Indeed, in recent years, all of the popes are very fond of money, and as long as they are willing to spend money, they can indeed make Robert favored......

"In addition to the papal affection, Robert wants to run for the pope, and he needs the support of other cardinals......"

"Smash with money-" Isn't it just bribery, Shenhao Marin disdains this.

Julius II choked again......

"In addition to the cardinal's support, he needs to be famous enough, otherwise it will be difficult to convince the public......"

"Smash it with money—" Marin said the same thing......

"Fame can also be smashed with money?" Julius II didn't know what to say.

"Of course, donate money and do good deeds. Throw some money, isn't it over? Marin said lightly. In later generations, he saw too many celebrities and rich people, who were obviously so black, but he accumulated fame by donating money to do good deeds. Therefore, "smashing with money" is simple and crude, but it is very effective......

Julius II didn't know what to say, and the problem in his mouth, Marin directly solved it rudely with a sentence of "smash it with money", and left him speechless......
