Although Robert had already been declared a cardinal by Julius II, he could only assume office as an adult. However, Robert was still seven or eight years away from coming of age, and Julius II was afraid that he would not be able to wait for that time.

Therefore, in the future, Robert will be mixed in the Holy See and will need to hug his thighs. And what thighs, can they be thicker than those of the next pope?

In fact, Marin had been with Giovanni before. Advance. Lorenzo. Morality. The Medici said hello, but Giovanni. Advance. Lorenzo. Morality. The Medici don't seem to take this very seriously. After all, Marlin didn't say anything about Robert's relationship with him.

And after consulting with the pope's father-in-law, this time Marin finally decided to talk to Giovanni. Advance. Lorenzo. Morality. The Medici showdown, revealing Robert's identity.

Sure enough, after listening to Marin's words, Giovanni. Advance. Lorenzo. Morality. The doubts in the Medici were finally figured out. It is no wonder that Marin sent troops south to escort Julius II as a candidate for the papal throne. It turned out that he had already slept with someone's daughter and had a child......

The son-in-law sent troops to help his father-in-law fight for the pope...... Hey, that's exciting......

And Giovanni. Advance. Lorenzo. Morality. The Medici did not dare to refuse Marin, because Robert was the grandson of the Pope! If he refuses to take care of him, the Pope, in a fit of rage, may find another obedient cultivator to replace him. Moreover, the Bank of Siena, of which Marin is the majority shareholder, will also support another person......

Therefore, he must take this student in, and he must be a treasure. Although the relationship between teachers and students in Europe is not as close as that in ancient China, it is much closer than the average person. At least, in the future, Robert has a papal teacher in the Holy See who can be public, and ordinary people will not dare to offend him easily......

When Giovanni. Advance. Lorenzo. Morality. After the Medici solemnly caressed the Bible and swore to take care of Robert as if he were his own child, Giovanni was smiling from Marin. Advance. Lorenzo. Morality. The Medici knew that they would be the future pope and were ......

That's the quid pro quo, Giovanni. Advance. Lorenzo. Morality. The Medici promised to take care of Robert in the future, and swore an oath. And in return, Robert's grandfather, His Holiness the Pope, will also reciprocate, and even help him suppress his competitors. And Marin, a rich man, will not be stingy with funds to support him.

Of course, that is, Archbishop Giovanni is still young and has not met Angela before. If he knew that Marin's legitimate wife, Angela, was also the daughter of the Pope, he would probably go crazy. After all, the story of one person monopolizing the two daughters of the current pope is crazy......

And in order to protect Angela, Marin arranged a new identity for Angela from the beginning. And Julius II also claimed that Angela was gone long ago. If you change to an older cardinal of Rome, you will probably be able to recognize Angela when she sees him. And Giovanni. Advance. Lorenzo. Morality. The Medici was too young, and when he went to Rome, the family of Julius II, who was then Archbishop of Rovere, had already fled Rome because of the hunt of the previous Pope Alexander VI. Therefore, he naturally did not meet the two daughters of Julius II.

Marin and Julius II did this because, according to European inheritance law, the descendants of illegitimate children have no right of inheritance. So, Marin would rather Angela be the daughter of the Nelson family, an ordinary knight, and not the illegitimate daughter of some pope. Otherwise, there will be a bunch of troubles in the future.

Robert, on the other hand, who took the ecclesiastical route, did not have this trouble. Because there are too many bastards of nobility in the church to count...... Moreover, there is no rule in the Church that an illegitimate child cannot be pope. Only the secular aristocracy had such restrictions......

Therefore, Marin and Julius II desperately concealed Angela's origins, but did not intend to completely hide Robert's origins. Anyway, the church doesn't care about that. Of course, not everyone knows these secrets. Only the future Pope Leo X would be qualified to know such a secret......

……

However, Marin did not put forward any conditions for Leo X to train Robert as the successor of the pope. Because, it's too early to say this at this time. Even Robert himself did not know that Marin had such plans.

After all, Robert is still a child, and if he knew about it at this time, if he didn't keep his mouth tight, he would shake out the secret...... The lessons of Maximilian I are not far off......

At that time, Maximilian I had not yet grown up to be a wise monarch, and he was still a bear child and a second-year teenager. Because he openly expressed his desire to unify Germany, he later became a thorn in the side of the German princes......

If Robert had shaken off this secret at a young age, he would have become the target of public criticism in Rome, even if he had become a student of the Pope. Before everyone competes, they will work together to suppress him first......

Therefore, Marlin would not mention that plan at all until Robert was mature. Even, Felise knows how important it is, and she won't talk nonsense.

In fact, it seems that Leo X did not live for a few years. However, his reign coincided with the most important years of Robert's growth into adulthood.

Moreover, not a few years after the death of Leo X, his cousin Giulio X. Advance. Giuliano. Morality. The Medici would become Pope Clement VII and continue to occupy the papacy for the Medici family.

And Clement VII probably lived to about 1534, that is, 20 years later. Twenty years later, Robert is 30 years old and has the capital to gain a foothold in the Holy See. That's when he became pope. And before that, what Robert has to do is to gain a firm foothold in the Holy See and have the right to speak.

……

In fact, in addition to having a backer, there is also a hidden benefit, that is, the convenience of taking leave!

Marin didn't actually intend to let Robert stay in the Holy See for a long time until he became an adult, but planned to let Robert take a long leave to stay at home. If you have time, you can teach him yourself.

If you don't have a strong relationship with the Holy See, it's hard to take a leave of absence to go home and visit once. But with the future pope as a teacher, it is different, as a teacher and the biggest pope in the Holy See, he is fully qualified to grant Robert a long vacation, so that he does not have to stay in Rome all day.

The reason for taking leave is also very simple!

It was not only the scholars of ancient China who traveled around, but also the clergy of the Church in Europe. Moreover, because all the countries of Europe are the sphere of influence of the Church, the clergy can eat and drink in the local church for free wherever they go.

For example, the great astronomer Nicolaus Copernicus was born into the Church, and his uncle was the local archbishop of Poland. There is an uncle who is an archbishop, and Copernicus is also a senior second generation in the church. Thus, when he was young, he could travel all over Europe. There is a letter of introduction from the archbishop's uncle, so I don't have to worry about others not giving face. Moreover, Copernicus University can also be attended casually. He went to university in Krakow, then at the University of Bologna in Italy, and then at the University of Padua......

When he was 40 years old, he went to the University of Ferrara to get a doctorate in religious law. It can be said that this guy is addicted to college and has not stopped at the age of 40...... Of course, he is the nephew of the archbishop, and it is easy to say that he is going to a university run by the church......
