The cardinals were somewhat relieved that the new Pope Pius III was no longer as eager to reveal his ugly true face as his predecessors were – or rather, Picomini's true face was his eccentric and demanding temperament, but fortunately he did not have a public illegitimate child, and although he had two beloved disciples, he did not rush to grant powers and positions that did not correspond to their qualifications and ages - of course, One of them was already a cardinal, which also made some people mutter, after all, the red hat was obtained from the infamous Alexander VI, and he was even the last cardinal appointed by Alexander VI before his death. Lovere's red robes cast an indescribable shadow.

In this regard, Juliano. Della. Lovere also had nothing to say, after all, at that time, he was not without two plans, and he now felt remorseful, except for the 50,000 gold ducats, which was probably the most criticized part of Cardinal Joshua's identity - although the positions of cardinals almost all came this way, compared to Pius III, who personally granted the cardinal position because of his status as a mentor and disciple, the one he received from Alexander VI was inevitably less glorious and legitimate.

Like the dark-haired disciple of Pius III, Giulio from the Medici family, Archbishop Lucca, it is known that it is only a matter of time before he becomes a cardinal, as long as the new pope does not rush too much and poisons one or two cardinals to put his disciples on the throne, they have absolutely no opinion.

Speaking of which, their new pontifical seeker, when they were in college, seemed to have the title of "wizard male......

The only one who has always been reluctant is probably the cardinal of France, the Archbishop of Rouen, Georges Brown. Morality. Amboise, knowing that his hopes of victory were very slim, but he tried at all costs, and he managed to win over the Borgias and a few greedy cardinals, but because of the king of France, Louis XII, because of the partition of Naples and the Spanish general Gonzalo and the two monarchs behind him, the Spaniards would never support him, and the Italians, who would not like the Spaniards, but would they still like the French?

The cardinals threw their votes in the gilded chalice again and again, and it seemed that they had won and lost, but they knew very well that those who had sworn to support Cardinal Amboise eventually changed their minds, to be precise, they did not change their original intentions, but only wanted to maximize their profits. And even if Cardinal Picomini had to fight Cardinal Amboise for a victory with his assets, Amboise would not have been able to win.

Although the archbishop of Rouen was a close friend of the King of France, he gave up a lot of assets as a fanatical supporter when supporting Louis XII's expedition to Italy, and Louis XII, who fought a tug-of-war with the shameless Sforza in artillery, they could not help but be a little stretched in the face of the sudden papal election; Compared with Cardinal Picromini, his family originally had a rich accumulation, and it was not until Giulio Picromini that he had a lot of accumulation. After the Medici began to boldly turn his fantastic ideas into reality, they made a fortune from them, and if there was anything to worry about Picromini now, it was definitely not money.

The dust settles, George. Morality. Amboise had to swallow this bitter pill, and he had to try to gain the trust of Pius III, because the situation in France was quite bad in the war with Spain in Naples, and Louis XII urgently needed a pope who could speak from the French side - at the repeated urging of the French king, the cardinal could almost be said to be impatient, and on the evening of the ceremony, he went to the Vatican Palace to ask for an audience with the Pontifical See, but unfortunately he was not allowed, and when he walked down the steps, he saw another wearing a mask, The cloaked man is stepping into the palace under the guidance of the priest.

"Who's that?" He asked quietly as he wiped the ruby ring from his hand and placed it in the other's hand.

"I don't know," said the priest, weighing the ring with satisfaction, turning to check the color of the ruby, "but he's from Château Lephie." ”

——————————

Avery. Borgia looked around uneasily, he was familiar with the place, the Vatican Palace was almost their second home—Alexander VI was the first pope to publicly admit illegitimate children, he was the monarch of the Vatican Palace, they were princes and princesses. But overnight, everything turned upside down - Avery was the youngest of the Borgia family, but not the most favored and valued, and Alexander VI valued their half-brother Luigi at first, and then Caesar. His favorites were Juan and Luclayia, Avery was only remembered by him when he needed to marry, and he was also the one who spent the longest time with his mother, which made him a little cowardly, and even less valued by Alexander VI - the same was true of the people around him, like Caesar, who never took him seriously, and Juan, who was even more unscrupulous in adultery with his wife Sanxia.

But in the words of his sister Lucrecia, this is not a bad thing, after the death of his father Alexander VI, his brother Juan, Caesar, and his sister Lucrecia, he is still alive, although he does not know how long he will live if he ...... They...... Refuse to forgive him, just throw him into the square and shout that there is a Borgia here, and those who have suffered from Borgia for so long will surely come up and tear him apart.

He was so frightened and cranky that the two priests pushed open the heavy door and hurried inside, but Avery didn't even react - Pius III strotted from one end of the corridor, wearing only a plain black robe and a modest golden cross, almost identical to Alexander VI, but their figures strangely overlapped in Avery eyes—a powerful, arrogant, dangerous aura that Avery could barely speak.

He stepped forward and kissed Pope Pius III's feet, which were cold and thin, and he couldn't help but shiver when he kissed them.

"You know what?" Pius III said, "I once reluctantly let a Borgia meet Julio," he shook his head: "It didn't turn out to be wonderful, so, I wouldn't let any Borgia see Giulio without my permission, Caesar was, and so did you," he nodded to the armrest: "So, say, Borgia, what are you going to see him for?" ”

Avery was still on his knees, his knees aching, he hadn't had a day to eat or sleep well since he heard of his sister Lucrecia's death, he was so thin that he was almost skinny, separated by a thin layer of skin, and the cold breath of the stony ground pierced his bones like a dagger: "I ......" he licked his lips softly, covertly, "I...... I inherited the property from my sister, Luclaysia, a territory from Château Le Pi to Spolette. ”

"How," Pius III asked, "do you want Julio to try to guarantee its legitimacy?" ”

"You can say the same thing." Almost at the same time, Avery said, a heavy malice (harder and more terrible than the stone under his knees) fell on him abruptly—if he had not been a Borgia, but just an ordinary young man, he would have collapsed on the spot, and when he still immediately raised his head and shouted urgently, "This is Luke's will!" Before she left for Ferrara, she told me if ...... If the Borgia family ...... If the misfortune no longer exists, then let me take Le Pi and Spolette to Giulio, and she will ask me to give him the ownership of this territory!

They belong to Julio. Medici's! ”

The malice vanished suddenly, and Patronus III's eyes rolled with unmistakable disgust, pursing his lips tightly.

————————

Julio. The Medici were surprised when they were summoned by Pius III in the middle of the night, and Picomini had not yet prepared a room for them in the Vatican Palace, so he was still in Picomini Palace, and he hurriedly put on his heavy coat and rushed to the Vatican Palace.

"Don't worry," said Brother John, who was the messenger, as he ran after him, "the Holy Father is fine, but there is something that may be relevant to you. ”

Upon entering the signing room, Giulio recognized the kneeling man as Avery, the weakest and most inconspicuous of the Borgia family.

"Let's put it simply." Pius III massaged his forehead: "Lucrecia. Borgia has left her brother, and her territory, from Le Pi to Spolette, to you. ”

Luclay. Borgia.

Giulio looked at Avery and Borgia, who was somewhere between youth and youth, looked up at him, with light hair similar to Lucresia's, but with Caesar's brown eyes, their features strangely intertwined on this face.

After a whirlwind, Giulio and Medici fainted.

————————

The Holy Father checked Giulio's physical condition, and when the latter fainted, Brother John, who was next to him, immediately stepped forward to catch him, and did not let the back of his head kiss the cold marble floor, but he did not wake up, and soon the fever did not stop - Pius III personally wiped his chest, neck, palms, and feet with alcohol, and gave him some potions of his own concoction.

Seeing Brother John's worried face, Pius III smiled, "Don't worry, he'll be fine." ”

"But he suddenly passed out."

"I've been waiting." Pius III said: "Considering how many things happened to him - Borgia didn't have a single one to deal with, and when he came back, he didn't show a trace of anything unusual, and then I knew something was wrong - it was easy to deal with." Although I still have to say," he pouted, "Of the Borgias, probably the one I hate the most is Lucrecia. Borgia too. ”
