Lorenzo. Morality. The Medici stood in the second-floor corridor of the wing of the Palazzo Vecchio, overlooking the hall where the proclamation was read by the abbot and the prefect, where the reading of the proclamation was being read. Morality. Pache was sentenced to death, and he was captured by the men there while traveling through Rome and sent back to Florence.

The Patch family's rebellion ended sooner than it began, and the Florentines did not support them, although Jack Po was not in favor of them. Morality. Patch used to shout "freedom" and "people" through the city, but the only answer he could get was "ball"; Another of their accomplices, Archbishop Salviati of Pisa, was self-righteously leading a group of mercenaries hired by Perugia to hold the hand of Pope Sistto III in an attempt to control the Florentine government. Petrux and other officials of the government caught and subsequently with the naked Francisco? Morality? Pache (who was in his room in Palazzo Palazzo when he was found, recuperating on the thigh he had accidentally wounded during the assassination of Giuliano) hanged himself from the window of the Consulate.

The archbishop was neatly dressed, and he was still in Francisco after he was thrown with his hands tied behind his back? Morality? Several pieces of flesh had bitten off Patch's body.

In addition to them, several other masterminds of the Patch family were also hanging, and the Medici painter Pomolich sketched and recorded their deaths with charcoal strips and wooden boards, and then moved to the side of the plaster-plaster wall.

This can be said to be a belated warning, but it can also be said to be a bitter victory.

As Jakep struggled on a sling, the crowd thundered with joy – and this month they were excited about another John the Baptist Day (patron saint of Florence).

Groups of people poured into the Medici Palace, pledged their loyalty to Lorenzo, and then, as if they had obtained some qualification, wandered the streets in droves, searching for what they saw, heard, and thought of. All those associated with the Patch family were unlucky, their assets were plundered, their homes were seized, their wives and children were violated, and they themselves were stripped of their clothes, castrated, and hanged...... For three weeks in a row, half of Florence was in the midst of a bloody storm - "death was no longer surprising, and the streets were full of men's genitals." Someone wrote.

Some of these "messengers of justice" are pure obedience, or just vent their accumulated frustration on the loser, while others have a clear goal, just taking the opportunity to settle old grudges. Of course, more people were for the Medici bounty, and just as every festival was rewarded with interesting shows and great artwork, those who presented Lorenzo with the head of the enemy could also receive between 5 and 100 "florins" (the most popular gold coins in Florence).

This is how the attachés of the two archbishops were dragged out of the Benedictine convent near the Badia-Pache Palace by two friars. Each of them received 150 florins. Of course, as a sign of respect for the government and the law, they were handed over by the Medici family to the "righteous chess players" and the ruling officials, and after a formal trial, they were hanged in the windows of the ruling palace.

Pache's widow and daughter would be sent to a convent, where they would never be allowed to marry and, of course, have no children. Pazzi family assets throughout Europe were traced and confiscated in the years that followed, and their family names and insignia were destroyed on the spot wherever they were found.

Bianca of the Medici was married to Guglielmo of the Pacci family, she was still young, but when Lorenzo asked her if she would like to remarry, she refused, her eyes flashed with wisdom and weariness of the world - her husband killed her brother, and her other brother hanged her husband by the window, even though there was no evidence of Guglielmo's involvement in the conspiracy, as long as his surname was Pacci, he was guilty, and the only thing to be thankful for was that they did not have children yet.

Bernardo. Before Bandini could get his due end, his portrait was painted upside down, with slings clasping his feet...... "Evil brings death to the wicked, and he who hates the righteous should make amends." Lorenzo whispered. Bandini's whereabouts had been discovered by Medici agents in Constantinople, who, along with the delivery of secret letters, had obtained permission from the Sultan to hire locals to hunt him down at the cost of all the silk and spices he could muster at his disposal.

And then there's the ugly monster that hides behind the Archbishop of Pisa and the Pache family, offering them rare poisons to satisfy their own lusts in the name of the Heavens.

Pope Sextus IV was furious, especially when he learned that the Archbishop of Pisa had been hanged, Cardinal Rafaello? Advance? After the Medici were imprisoned, the Apostle Peter's successor did not hesitate to confiscate the Medici property and threaten Florence that if Lorenzo was not handed over to him, he would expel all Medici associates and deprive the whole of Florence - in fact, Naples had joined forces with the Pope and was preparing to invade Florence.

The Medici parents seemed to see the crowd happily wrapping the same noose around their necks. Before Jakepool could fully transform into a corpse, he walked away from the window.

He faltered - the rebellion of the Patch family was like a thunderous plague that took Giuliano's life, as well as Lorenzo's health, youth, and a gentle, tolerant heart. Now his eyes were gloomy, his temples were gray, and the loose skin on his cheeks hung down to his wrinkled neck—all in a matter of days, and the Medici parents seemed to have gone from a vigorous youth to a lifeless twilight without going through middle age.

Lorenzo walked through the dark corridors, down the stairs, through the atrium, the gallery, the hall, and into the second courtyard at the back of the Palazzo Vecchio, where there was an abandoned chapel that had been converted into a sewing room for the ladies and was now used as a makeshift maternity ward.

The largest room had nothing but a specially shaped maternity chair and a large bed for the mother to rest, and the doors and windows were wide open, but the stove, the bucket of hot water, and the Medici ladies who had come to comfort and encourage the mother kept it steaming. It is customary to have any circumference around the mother that may interfere with the obstruction of childbirth. All rings, lace, braids, clasps, hooks, etc., had to be removed. All the women untied the silk ropes, ribbons, buttons, and the necklines were open, revealing bright, wet skin.

The birth had gone on for a day and a night, and after giving birth to a girl in a sitting position in the arms of a sturdy Tatar maid, she no longer had the strength to give birth to a second child, and after a few hours, the fetus still in the mother's womb no longer visibly squirmed, and the doctor gave her verdict, and the midwife took out a hook with a knife on her head, something that would tremble any mother at the sight of it, and it would go deep into the womb and chop up the child that could not be born and pull it out piece by piece. The mother, who was dying of her own child, was giving birth for the first time, but she clearly knew and understood what was going to happen, and just as the ladies turned their heads to escape the bloody scene, the mother, who was still a young girl, suddenly broke free from the maid's arms, stood up, and pressed her bulging belly - after a brief silence and a terrible cry, blood slid down instead of the depleted amniotic fluid.

The baby fell to the ground, not crying, but he was alive. His exhausted mother collapsed beside him, and only after confirming the happy news did she pass away suddenly.

When Lorenzo arrived, it was all over, and his wife, Claricher of the Orsini family, came out to meet him and led him to the room that had been specially prepared for the baby.

"Twins. Girls are born first, boys are born later, and they are all healthy. Clariche whispered, she had always been cautious, silent and humble, but today Lorenzo could feel a rare joy and eagerness in her voice.

The Medici parents looked at her with mixed expressions, they also had a pair of twins six years ago, but unfortunately died before the baptism, because they were not able to be buried in the Medici family mausoleum because they did not wash away the original sin on their bodies. The two small bones hugging each other could only be secretly buried in the corner of the courtyard. Since the time of Caesar, it has been a custom for the people here to bury their dead children under their roofs, believing that this will bring peace to the child's soul.

Giuliano's twins were transferred to a room that had been prepared next door, dark and quiet, so that they would not be frightened by their sudden arrival in a strange world. Through the light through the cracks in the drapery, Lorenzo's eldest daughter and maid were bathing their two children with a mixture of hot milk and red wine, and the second daughter, who was only 5 years old, was smearing hot water and honey on the children's throats so that they could speak and swallow smoothly.

Lorenzo walked over with a light step, and the newborn babies were not very pretty, their skin was red and wrinkled, their soft fetal hair was moist against their little scalps, their eyes were closed, and they were wrapped in linen like statues to avoid deforming their hands and feet.

They are Giuliano. Morality. Medici's widow was also an illegitimate child, but it was not difficult for the Medici to obtain a legal marriage certificate.

At Lorenzo's signal, the maid carefully pulled up the heavy curtain hanging in front of the window, allowing a thin ray of sunlight to swing on the cradle. He carefully searched the baby's face for Giuliano's shadow, and to his regret he had not yet found the part of the Medici family, except for the bridge of his nose and the long, tightly closed eyes; Perhaps because the mother was a strangely white West Slav with hair and skin, the skin in the blood faded was lighter than expected, and the facial contours were very soft, but the color of the fetal hair was very dark - the mother of the child should have a pair of light gray-blue eyes, Lorenzo searched his memories for the impressions left by a short glimpse, and he hoped that the child would inherit Giuliano's brown eyes.

One of the newborns, who had been repeatedly harassed by the light, finally opened his eyes impatiently, and though it was only for a moment—all but Lorenzo let out a gasp, suppressed exclamation—and the child's eyes took on a touching pale gold in the sunlight.

Immediately afterwards, another child, the boy, opened his eyes, and some of those who still suspected that they were hallucinating or parallax in the dark had to admit what was in front of them...... The heterochromatic in the other child's iris is purer and brighter.

Lorenzo was a little surprised, but nothing more, the Medici parents, who had a collection of tens of thousands of books, had read that a local man who married another person of the opposite sex who had come from far away could give birth to a child with amber eyes, which was rare, but it was not a disease, and it was not the work of the devil. And the color of a child's eyes will change with age, and one day, it will turn plain black or brown.

But the women, especially the unlearned and uninformed maids, panicked, and kept making crosses on their breasts and making gestures to exorcise the devil. If Lorenzo's entourage hadn't seized the gate in time, they would probably have run out and shout - and that would have been bad.

"What's there to be afraid about?" Lorenzo calmly turned from the cradle and crossed his arms in front of his chest: "Is this the color of evil?" He asked in a loud voice, "Before Luzifer fell from heaven, the Father made his armor with gold; The angel pointed to the holy city of Jerusalem, which John the Apostle had seen, and its ninth cornerstone was a topaz; In accordance with the will of the Father, when Moses built the tabernacle of the congregation on Mount Sinai, was not the ark which he made for the Lord inlaid with pure gold, and the cherubim on both sides of the mercy seat beaten out of gold, and the bottles, the candlesticks, and the wine lords on the table, and the breastplate that hung on the high priest's breast, bearing the name of the LORD, were not also pure gold? When Jesus Christ was born, didn't the three wise men of the East who came to worship him offer gifts of gold, myrrh, and agarwood? Wasn't it yellow jade like a tiger's eye that Herod brought to Salome in exchange for St. John's life? Aren't the weeds of Wickendis of St. Shala, the rabbit ears of St. Ricarus, and the buttercups of St. Ansonis the most vivid golden yellow? And what is amber, which is not as precious as the sun, which is used to carve icons, polish rosaries, and set in bishops' rings, as a symbol of goodness, purity, sincerity, and piety?

As Paul's disciples said, 'Your eyes are the lamps of your body.' When your eyes are pure, your whole body will be bright; But if you are evil, your whole body will be dark', what a blessed pair of eyes! It can not only put the colors of the outside world into the heart, but also reflect the colors of the heart to the surface...... Fools, you fast day and night in the hope that the Father's grace may come upon you, but when the time comes, you are like a blind and deaf man who is unconscious - like those ignorant people who are fortunate enough to see Christ walking on the sea, whose soulless eyes make them see the Savior as a ghost who makes their situation worse, panic, cry out, and even resist the hand that saved them? He shouted aggressively, with a stern and firm expression, like a judge who holds in his hands the will of the Holy Spirit in heaven and the authority of the apostles on earth, but even the latter may not be able to render such a judgment, at least for the time being, blameless and unshakable, at least on the surface, in such a short time.

And before the end of this little oratory, his wife, Clarice, had gone to the other side of the cradle to comfort the disturbed babies in the place of the negligent maid, and she took them tenderly in her arms, kissing them lovingly, and calling out the name of the patron saint of the young children, Negro, and commanding him to pray for the child's safety and health—she had neither died of the infant's gaze, nor had she scorched her fingers or leprosy from touching some "evil thing."

Claricher and her husband's words and deeds succeeded in averting an accident that might have caused great trouble, and the servants calmed down and looked at each other, as if it was hard to believe that the mad creature was themselves—and at last they were even ashamed...... This shame obliterates the last bit of disgust that arises from stupidity and ignorance; The windows and doors that had been forcibly pushed open and held against them were quietly reopened, and they cautiously returned to their original positions and continued their work, though occasionally letting their eyes avert the two cradles next to each other, consciously or unconsciously.

The room was plunged back into darkness and tranquility, with only a brilliant ray of light shining through the cracks in the velvet curtain, as if the Holy Spirit had set his eyes on these two new lives.
