Chapter 1034: Who Takes Advantage of Whom
Giovanni. Advance. Lorenzo. Morality. The Medici looked at Marin, who was a little confused, and her heart blossomed. With Marin helping him speak well in front of the Pope, he is still worried that he will not be popular in the future?
What did Marlin say? He said he could recommend himself as a candidate for the future Pope! It's so special, it's so exciting, it makes his blood boil with excitement......
In fact, originally historically, after the death of Julius II, Giovanni. Advance. Lorenzo. Morality. The Medici did not expect to become pope either. Because, at that time, his status was too low, and he was just a mere assistant sacrifice. At that time, he also ran for the election with the intention of giving it a try, and he was actually selected.
For Marin boasting that he could help himself become a candidate for the Pope, Giovanni. Advance. Lorenzo. Morality. The Medici didn't really believe it, thinking that the other party was bragging. But it doesn't matter, because his current ambition is only to become a celebrity in the eyes of the Pope, and then mix up with a lot of oil and water. As for the future pope or something, he didn't dare to think about it yet.
But even if he can become a celebrity in front of the pope, it is enough to make Giovanni. Advance. Lorenzo. Morality. The Medici was thrilled. He had seen the Pope and Marin talk happily, and the Pope had said to Marin in front of him, "Your business is my business." So, Giovanni. Advance. Lorenzo. Morality. The Medici felt that she had taken the opportunity to marry Marin as an ally brother this time, and she would definitely make a lot of money! After all, they had sworn in front of Jesus, and it would be difficult for Marlin to repent! In the future, Marin's resources in the Holy See will definitely be lent to himself! Thinking of this, Giovanni. Advance. Lorenzo. Morality. Medici was so happy that her saliva was about to fall.
……
And at the moment by Giovanni. Advance. Lorenzo. Morality. The Medici helped Marin, who pretended to be drunk, but was actually happier than him. has the next pope as his brother in the alliance, and he can be a celebrity in the Holy See for a few more years...... However, Leo X doesn't seem to have a long life...... I have to help him prolong his life...... For example, send a few Mongolian doctors to help maintain your health or something......
But now, he is a "drunk" person, and he can only lie there and "pretend to be dead......
In order to confirm the relationship between this "alliance brothers", Giovanni. Advance. Lorenzo. Morality. The Medici stayed that night and took care of Marin to sleep, like a big brother. Because, he is three years older than Marin, and after swearing, he is considered a big brother.
And Marin's guards, because they had witnessed the marriage of the two, naturally did not dare to say anything to Giovanni. Advance. Lorenzo. Morality. The Medici was disrespectful, so they left him to rest in your hotel for the night.
Of course, the two did not sleep in the same bed, and there was no such thing as breaking their sleeves......
……
The next morning, Marin woke up and pretended to have a hangover headache. After seeing it up Giovanni. Advance. Lorenzo. Morality. The Medici, and pretended to be flute:
"Mr. Medici, why are you still here?" Marin deliberately pretended to be stupid.
Giovanni. Advance. Lorenzo. Morality. The Medici was also stunned - did he forget about our swearing? In order to maintain this relationship, he barely squeezed out a smile and said affectionately:
"Brother Marin, have you forgotten? We became brothers last night! ”
"Brother Marin? Brothers? Marin feigned dumbness, seeming reluctant.
Of course, we swore in front of the statue of Jesus, touching the Bible. Don't believe it......" After that, Giovanni. Advance. Lorenzo. Morality. The Medici pointed to the statue of Jesus that was still in the living room as a substitute for Guan Erye, and a copy of the Bible that was used as a tool for taking oaths......
"This ......," Marlin feigned, hesitating. You know, in Europe, taking an oath in the name of God and Jesus is an unbreakable oath. What's more, he even caress the Bible with his hands......
Marin's heart blossomed, but he still pretended not to remember, and specially convened the guards to verify. And the guard on duty last night said that he did have a relationship with Giovanni. Advance. Lorenzo. Morality. The Medici swore a sworn and swore a heavy oath......
In the end, Marin said a little helplessly:
"Well, since we have all sworn an oath, we are naturally brothers, Brother Giovanni......" When he said this, Marin had a reluctant expression.
Seeing Marin confess his identity as a brother of the League, Giovanni. Advance. Lorenzo. Morality. The Medici's heart blossomed. With the guarantee of this relationship, his future will be very open in the future......
In fact, his future is indeed very promising. Because, Marin also needs to use him to go to Germany to get "indulgences" in advance, so as to stimulate the outbreak of the German religious revolution in advance.
Of course, Marin would not immediately encourage him to go to Germany to peddle "indulgences". Because according to the script, the two have just begun to get acquainted, and it is not time to talk about that.
Moreover, it does take a period of adaptation to change from a stranger to a brotherhood......
Therefore, Marin pretended to be a little uncomfortable at first. But the good thing is Giovanni. Advance. Lorenzo. Morality. The Medici already had the mentality of stammering and tried to make Marin happy. Then, the relationship between the two seems to be gradually getting better......
By the time it was time for lunch, Marin finally "reluctantly" accepted Giovanni. Advance. Lorenzo. Morality. The Medici, the alliance brother, patted his chest during the meal and promised:
"Brother Giovanni, don't worry, your business is my business! Tomorrow, tomorrow I will take you to the Pope and ask him to take care of you! ”
Hearing Marin's assurance, Giovanni. Advance. Lorenzo. Morality. The Medici's face was like a chrysanthemum. Isn't that what he came to do for Marin? Now that his wish has come true, he has happily drunk a few more glasses and is drunk. Fortunately, Marin arranged for the guards to take him home. Otherwise, this cargo will not be able to find its way home.
Early the next morning, Giovanni. Advance. Lorenzo. Morality. The Medici went to the noble hotel where Marin lived, full of trepidation, and waited for Marin to take him to the Pope. For him, this meeting with the Pope was extremely important. Although Marin assured that the Pope would definitely give him face, he did not dare to believe it all. Who knows, if the Pope's previous words were fooling Marin? You know, the words of big people are sometimes just polite words and are not credible......
And after arriving at the Lateran Basilica, Giovanni. Advance. Lorenzo. Morality. The Medici were a little relieved - the people in the hall were very friendly to Marin, and they confirmed Marin's identity as a "pope and former celebrity", which greatly increased his confidence......
After entering the living quarters behind the Lateran Basilica, the two were warmly received by Pope Julius II. But when Marin mentions and Giovanni. Advance. Lorenzo. Morality. After the Medici became allies, Julius II frowned and asked Giovanni. Advance. Lorenzo. Morality. The Medici's heart almost jumped out with nervousness......
Marin's meaning is clear - he hopes that Julius II will take care of his brother Giovanni in the future. Advance. Lorenzo. Morality. Medici, get him a good errand...... In addition, if possible, they can be promoted to the rank of Cardinals......
Julius II looked at Giovanni deeply. Advance. Lorenzo. Morality. The Medici seemed to see his inner thoughts at a glance. This glance almost made Giovanni. Advance. Lorenzo. Morality. The Medici fainted with nervousness. But he held back his composure, as he awaited the final "verdict" of Julius II......
In fact, he didn't know that the pair of sons-in-law in front of him were just acting according to the script, but in fact, the decision had already been made......
Looked deeply at Giovanni. Advance. Lorenzo. Morality. After a glance at the Medici, it took a while until Giovanni. Advance. Lorenzo. Morality. The Medici was so nervous that he was about to faint, but Julius II nodded slowly, and agreed to Marin's request......
……
When leaving the Lateran Basilica, Giovanni. Advance. Lorenzo. Morality. The Medici almost collapsed. Therefore, he was helped out of the Lateran Hall by Marin.
Out of the entrance of the main hall, Giovanni. Advance. Lorenzo. Morality. The Medici excitedly shook Marin's hand and said:
"Brother, thank you so much this time, my brother took advantage of you. In the future, if you have something, as long as it is not against God, just say it, brother, I will help you immediately, no matter how difficult it is! ”
Looking at Giovanni with a sincere face. Advance. Lorenzo. Morality. Medici, Marin smiled, and said in his heart - it is true that you are taking advantage of me now, but in the future, I will take advantage of you a lot. And, without me, you will also become pope in the future. Speaking of which, I still took advantage of you......
However, Marin could only think about it, but he couldn't say it...... Moreover, even if he said it, it is estimated that no one would believe it......
