Chapter 1032: Acting and Hints
As early as the annexation of Florence, Julius II had cooperated with the Medici family. The content of the cooperation is that the Medici family's secret son in the city of Florence cooperates with Marin's army to capture Florence. Julius II, on the other hand, protected the Medici family's economic interests in Florence and promoted Giovanni. Advance. Lorenzo. Morality. Medici's position in the Holy See.
At the beginning, the young Giovanni. Advance. Lorenzo. Morality. The Medici was only a papal priest and had no power in Rome, but had a little money at home. In fact, in history, when Leo X was elected pope, he was a delegate with a low status. It's just that the Medici family has a very strong background, bribed many cardinals, and had no decent competitors to win. When he took over as pope, because his status was too low, he had to be promoted from deacon to priest, then bishop, and then to pope.
And because of Marin's intervention, Julius II and the Medici family hooked up in advance. And in return for the help of the Medici family, Julius II put the young Giovanni. Advance. Lorenzo. Morality. The Medici, from a low-ranking deacon, was promoted to bishop. Of course, at the moment he is only an ordinary bishop, and has not yet entered the College of Cardinals.
This is the result of the deliberate so-like nature of Julius II. Because, Marin had written to say that he wanted the city to be kind to the young bishop. Therefore, Julius II pressed the young bishop first, and waited for Marin to pull him along.
In fact, Marin had already planned to support the future pope who had sparked the religious revolution, so that he would die early and start a religious war earlier. The future Leo X was a stepping stone for Martin Luther.
It's just that Marin has been very busy and has no time to go south to Rome, so he has never been able to find a chance to be a city to Giovanni. Advance. Lorenzo. Morality. Medici, this matter has been delayed.
Now, there is an opportunity to come to Rome, and Marin intends to seize this opportunity to make contact with the future pope. In the meantime, give some favor and befriend this person.
……
After a while, the young Giovanni. Advance. Lorenzo. Morality. The Medici came to the backyard of the LaGrand Temple, where Julius II lived on a daily basis.
As a young bishop, Giovanni. Advance. Lorenzo. Morality. The Medici had little status in Rome, and among a bunch of bishops, they were extremely low in the rankings and had no say. Therefore, he was very excited about the Pope's summons.
However, after arriving at the residential area in the backyard of the LaGrand Temple, Giovanni . . . Advance. Lorenzo. Morality. The Medici was amazed to find a young man about his age having a good conversation with the Pope......
……
In fact, this kind of conversation was deliberately shown to Giovanni by Marin and Julius II. Advance. Lorenzo. Morality. Medici looked. Otherwise, how could this kid be on the road?
The two sons and daughter-in-law pretended to have a heated discussion, and put Giovanni who was called. Advance. Lorenzo. Morality. The Medici completely left it aside and moved on to some topics.
Looking at the close relationship between Marin and Julius II, Giovanni. Advance. Lorenzo. Morality. The Medici's face was full of shock, and at the same time, his eyes were full of envy - if he knew the Pope so well, why would he not be able to get ahead in Rome? Perhaps, in the future, we can compete for that position...... Looking at the golden chair sitting under Julius II, young Giovanni. Advance. Lorenzo. Morality. The Medici's eyes were full of longing......
……
Seeing that the stunned young man was almost stimulated, Marin seemed to see Giovanni standing next to him. Advance. Lorenzo. Morality. Medici. So, he quickly made an apology gesture. After all, this master is the future pope, and he can't be offended too harshly, so he has to give some face.
However, Marin's apology made the young Giovanni . Advance. Lorenzo. Morality. The Medici were at a loss. After all, he is not yet the future Pope of His Majesty, but just a minor bishop who mixes well in the Holy See. How can I say that an ordinary bishop like him, who has not entered the cardinals, is worthless at all in Rome, the residence of the Holy See......
And Marin, a celebrity who can talk happily with the Pope, is Giovanni. Advance. Lorenzo. Morality. The object of the Medici's envy......
When Marin said goodbye, Julius II's words made Giovanni even more angry. Advance. Lorenzo. Morality. The Medici were so startled that they almost screamed, why? For he heard the Pope say to the young man:
"Marin, don't worry, your business is my business. If you ask for it, I'll do it for you as much as I can! ”
Such words, coming out of the mouths of European religious leaders, are simply appalling. Because, a pope's promise is sometimes more valuable than gold and silver.
"So he's Marin...... "Hearing the words of Julius II, Giovanni. Advance. Lorenzo. Morality. The Median Wizard reacted. It turned out that the young man in front of him was the young man who sent a large army to help the current pope seize the pope's throne, and he was really favored......
"If, he helps me to say a few kind words in front of His Holiness the Pope...... "Giovanni. Advance. Lorenzo. Morality. The Medici suddenly dreamed......
……
Frankly, Giovanni, who was born in the Medici family. Advance. Lorenzo. Morality. The Medici was not short of money, but in the Holy See, where the bigwigs gathered, it was nothing. Because, the average cardinal has at least tens of thousands of gold coins in his hand. At the beginning, by Caesar. The cardinals murdered by Borgia with the strange poison "Canterella" started with at least 100,000 or 200,000 gold coins. Otherwise, you won't be targeted......
So, in the Holy See, it is not uncommon to have money. It is only when the pope is running that money becomes important. Because you can pay the cardinals who have the right to vote and vote for you. But in normal times, having money is useless. Because, if you want to find a poor bishop in the Holy See, it is not easy......
……
After Marin left, Giovanni. Advance. Lorenzo. Morality. The Medici were somewhat absent-minded. What Julius II said to him, he was a little confused. But it didn't matter, because Julius II didn't have anything important to do when he came to him, just to let him see his intimacy with Marin and guide him to Marin's door......
After sending off Giovanni. Advance. Lorenzo. Morality. Before the Medici, Julius II deliberately praised Marin in front of him, believing that he was the most outstanding young man, and encouraged Giovanni in a suggestive way. Advance. Lorenzo. Morality. The Medici and "young heroes" like Marin had more contact with each other......
……
"How much contact with a young man like Marin?" Giovanni leaving the Temple of LaGrand. Advance. Lorenzo. Morality. The Medici bishop seems to have enlightened ......
Then, that night, Giovanni. Advance. Lorenzo. Morality. The Bishop of the Medici took a cart of gifts to the noble hotel where Marin was staying, and visited Marin, a popular man in front of the pope......
