Chapter 147: Father-in-law is ready
After coming to the room where Felise lived, Marin had a smile on his face and directly hugged Felise, who was already pregnant, but was pushed away by Felise:
"Go, go, don't hurt the baby!" The little wild cat Felise has changed her previous wild image, and it seems that she has also opened a maternal aura. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE。 info
"Hehe, it's okay, I'll just hold you, don't mess around!" After Marin was pushed away, he didn't give up, and his face salivated.
As soon as he had spoken a few words of love to Felise, Marin suddenly felt that the air around him was rapidly getting colder......
He turned his head and saw his father-in-law, Archbishop Rovere, with an angry face......
"Boy, you're finally back!" Archbishop Rovere said with red eyes and gritted teeth.
"Uh...... Yes...... Yes, dear father-in-law, do you have any instructions? Marin was also very weak at this time. Because, it is really unkind that he married Angela, but he tricked Felise into bed. Although Archbishop Rovere had two daughters, he had only one de facto son-in-law. Now, the youngest daughter has been enlarged by Marin, no wonder Archbishop Rovere is angry now......
Ma Lin suddenly felt that his father-in-law's anger was full, and he might kill himself in anger......
Sure enough, Archbishop Rovere picked up a broom, rushed over, and shouted:
"I killed you shameless thief, and actually deceived my two daughters!" That posture seems to use a broom as a tomahawk.
Marin knew that he was wrong, so of course he ran away. So, the two sons-in-law were in the harem of the Orich palace and began to "hide and seek".
When the palace guards heard the commotion, they tried to rush over to help, but they were all chased away by Marin. Just kidding, his father-in-law is a man who wants to be the pope. If his guards accidentally hurt him and make him unable to become the pope, he would be the one who would cry at that time. Therefore, he could only hug his head and run away, not daring to fight back, nor daring to find someone to help.
When he saw that Archbishop Rovere seemed to have no strength to run, Marin salivated and covered his face with both hands, and deliberately stopped to be chased by his father-in-law, who was hit with a broom a few times. But in fact, at this time Archbishop Rovere had no strength, and the broom came over, and it didn't hurt at all.
Marin crouched in a corner unnoticed, holding his head in his hands to protect his face, and let Archbishop Rovere twitch a few times. But Archbishop Rovere is already 60 years old, and he ran out of strength just now after chasing Marin, where is the strength? Therefore, the broom slapped on Marin's body, and it had no strength.
While desperately trying to protect his "handsome" face, Marin slandered in his heart:
"Hmph, if it weren't for the fact that you were always going to be the Pope, I wouldn't have given you the opportunity to beat me. Ay...... Who told you to be a pope...... Forget it, just take a few hits, no one else will see this corner anyway......"
"You bastard, you have Angela, why do you want to provoke Felise?" After a few blows, Archbishop Rovere also lost his strength, simply threw his broom, and began to shout at Marin.
"This ...... It's handsome, there's no way to ......" After saying that, Marin also showed a Kahn-esque honest smile.
Archbishop Rovere was so angry that he almost vomited a liter of old blood—he had never seen such a shameless ......
If Marin had known what Archbishop Rovere was thinking at the moment, he would have replied nonchalantly:
"What do you want to face? Affordability is the most important ......"
In fact, Marin didn't take a fancy to Felise's "beauty". When it comes to appearance, Felise is a lot worse than Angela. However, Felise was also the daughter of Archbishop Rovere. If Felise marries someone else, it is easy to share Angela's "fatherly love". Although Felise is not as favored as Angela, she is not sure that Felise will find a husband in the future, and she will be more favored than she is in front of her father-in-law. At that time, even if the old man becomes the pope, he will not fully support himself. Because, he has another son-in-law to take care of......
Marin didn't want his father-in-law to have another son-in-law compete with him for his father-in-law's political resources, so he simply took Felise, who was above average...... Moreover, it is quite exciting for my brother-in-law to steal my sister-in-law......
The most important thing is that once Felice becomes his lover, when the old man ascends to the throne of the pope, he will be the only son-in-law of his old family...... Whether he likes it or not, he will only be able to take care of himself when the time comes...... Well, and those from the Rovere family......
"Is Angela bad? She is more beautiful than Felise and has a better personality, why are you still messing with Felise? Yes? Felise will be your mistress, and the children you will give birth to in the future will be illegitimate children! An illegitimate child without inheritance! Archbishop Rovere yelled at Marin.
"It's nothing, father-in-law, if Felise gives birth to a son, won't you be appointed cardinal of Rome at that time?" Marin replied nonchalantly.
As a pope, he has the privilege of directly promoting his relatives to the position of cardinal (also called cardinal) of Rome. Caesar, the illegitimate son of the current Pope Alexander VI. Borgia, who had been a cardinal (cardinal) of Rome before him, was a cardinal of Rome who was not yet 20 years old. However, after Caesar assassinated his brother Giovanni, he became the military commander of the Papal States, and reached an agreement with Louis XII to obtain the title of Duke of Valentino.
Moreover, this is not an invention of Alexander VI either, but an "unspoken rule" of the Holy See. The popes of Rome generally come from wealthy families in Italy, and after these popes ascend the throne, they often use the power in their hands to favor several family descendants or important allies to directly become cardinals. In this way, they can also ensure that their family holds important rights in the Holy See for a long time and will prosper for a long time.
You know, the cardinal of Rome is not an ornament, he has the power to vote for the pope. As long as he became a cardinal of Rome, every time the pope is elected, it is the time to get rich. Because, if the pope wants to be elected, he must buy off these cardinals.
Even if Julius II became the pope in history, the reform of this drawback would allow the two descendants of the pope to directly become cardinals in Rome. Therefore, Marin said that it was perfectly easy to make Archbishop Rovere pope, and to grace his and Felice's illegitimate son to become a cardinal.
Archbishop Rovere probably thought of this as well, and did not say anything, acquiescing to Marin's statement. However, after a period of silence, Archbishop Rovere suddenly said:
"Rome is ready, I plan to go south in a while, your men are ready?"
When Marin heard this, he immediately became excited. Of course, he understood what Archbishop Rovere meant by "ready", that is, he had the men ready to poison Alexander VI and his son at any time. When the time comes, Archbishop Rovere will also be able to go south to compete for the papal throne. When Archbishop Rovere became the Pope, wouldn't he be "the Pope's son-in-law"? Thinking of this, Marin was very happy......
Regarding his father-in-law's questioning, of course Marin knew what the other party wanted to ask:
"It's ready, on the island of Lampedusa, not far from Carthage (the ancient name of Tunisia), south of Sicily, there are 5,000 veterans!"
"Are you sure you can take Rome?" Archbishop Rovere asked worriedly. You know, in the city of Rome, there was also Caesar. Borgia led a mercenary army.
"No problem, I can send someone into Rome first. When the army reached the city of Rome, they suddenly came out, seized the gates, opened them, and put the large army in......"
"You seem to have used this trick in Oldenburg and Glückstadt, ...... on the Roman side," Archbishop Rovere meant to ask if the city of Rome would be prepared accordingly.
"Impossible, these two siege battles took place in Northern Europe. The city of Rome is in southern Europe, and the news doesn't spread so quickly. What's more, you're now ready to go. Before word reached Rome, we were almost done. Marin said confidently.
Now is not the afterlife, and the news does not spread so quickly. By the time the news reached Italy, Marin's veterans were estimated to have already taken control of the city of Rome.
You know, in the city of Rome, there are only 2,000 defenders. If the city gates are not opened, they can rely on the strong walls to fight against the 5,000 troops under the command of Marin. But once the gates were breached, the 2,000 defenders would have no chance of victory in the face of Marin's army, which had the numerical superiority. Because, Marin's army is all well-trained elite veterans. And Caesar. The Borgia mercenaries, just a group of Italian mercenaries, were no match for the German mercenaries at all. What's more, the veterans under Marin are the trump cards among the German mercenaries......
However, in order to ensure the safety of his father-in-law and the security of inheriting the Pope's throne, Marin thought about it and felt that the matter was serious, so he simply prepared to send Schwartz, the first general under his command. At that time, Schwartz will lead 2,000 elites, with a number of heavy guns, to participate in the attack on Rome. 7,000 veterans, enough to beat Caesar. Borgia's bunch of wastewood......
And Archbishop Rovere was clearly aware of Schwartz's position in the East Friesian Lamberland, as well as his abilities. With Schwartz personally presenting, with 2,000 new reinforcements, and a large number of ships, Archbishop Rovere was very satisfied. Because it will make him safer and more secure when he competes for the pope......
