Your Mightiness

When Auguste was 17 years old, Father Joe came back from Rome.

Before leaving, Father Joe had vowed that this was a short-term mission. After he conveyed the news, he would soon return to London to continue enjoying the luxurious life with Julie.

It turned out that Father Joe in Naples did not find out that he was tricked by Rafael, and he was tricked miserably.

As if pinching a point, Father Qiao just told Archbishop Giuliano that the people arranged by Raphael might attack Alexander VI in advance, and the news of the pope's poisoning spread throughout Rome, even the surrounding Naples, Milan and other principalities also received news on the same day.

The pope, who liked to poison his competitors, ended up ironically dying from the poisoning. Many people quietly sighed that this was probably God's sense of humor.

"The pope writhed back and forth on the bed, struggling to swallow, his face turned the color of mulberry, and the skin around him began to peel off... It took hours to die, but the humiliation that the Pope needed to face had just begun... His dead body It was like being blown up, exuding a stench like sulfur..." The Venetian ambassador wrote in his memoirs afterwards, "It was the ugliest, weirdest, most terrifying corpse that people have ever seen... "(Quoted from Baidu Encyclopedia)

As soon as Alexander VI died, Rome and its surrounding areas were under martial law, and everyone had a not-so-relaxed expression on their faces.

The pope is not a good pope, but his sudden death is bound to set off a bloodbath in the religious country, and the various factions will reshuffle. No one will have a better life.

Only the people in the city cheered quietly, that the annoying villain Pope finally died.

Father Joe thought he could retire, but Archbishop Giuliano didn't think so. Giuliano left Father Joe in Naples.Because this is part of the deal between Giuliano and Raphael-Raphael needs Giuliano to bring the disappointing Father Joe, and he can't let his extravagant style spoil the Duke of Gloucester (August ster).

At least that's what Raphael said.

Giuliano also agreed that Father Joe should learn more, no matter what Raphael's original intention for keeping Father Joe trapped in Naples.The cardinal's words to Father Joe were as if he was teaching his own younger generation.Yes, Archbishop Giuliano also has several "nephews". During these years in exile in France, he was not able to get close to them, because he was afraid that revealing his identity would cause them to be killed.

So, the unstoppable paternal love could only be diverted: "Giovanni, you are no longer a child. Look at me, follow me, learn from me, let your brother-in-law, your sister and your The family is proud of you, okay?"

Father Qiao's full name is Giovanni di Lorenzo de' Medici, and he was born into a family that was well-known in Rome and destined to be great.He's proud of his family, but it's hard for his family to be proud of him.Thus, Father Qiao was persuaded in this way, and began to study with Archbishop Giuliano.

Father Qiao asked a stupid question from the very beginning: "That idiot Alexander VI is finally dead, why don't you return to the Holy See?"

According to Father Joe, Archbishop Giuliano could not wait to return to Rome and become the new Pope, after all, they left in such a mess.Now that I finally have a chance to avenge my shame, of course I have to show it off to the best of my ability, or else it will become the oriental allusion that August once told—Is Jin Yi Night Walking?

Archbishop Giuliano sighed deeply, how could the Medici family promote such a product again?Because of blood?

"Why should I fight? I wish I could tell the world that it wasn't Archbishop Lowell who poisoned Alexander VI, but me?" Archbishop Giuliano opened the crumbled paper and began to explain to Father Joe, It's rare to be a teacher.

Father Qiao still half-understands, but he has learned one thing - even if he doesn't understand, he should pretend to understand.

The next pope elected urgently by the Holy See is not Giuliano, but Pius III. He is the child of Pope Pius II's sister, a real nephew who is rare in the Holy See where fake nephews (real sons) are common.Just like his identity, this quiet and introverted pope is absolutely up to the standard of a saint in terms of morality, and he is highly respected.

The first thing Pius III did when he took office was to order the arrest of the son of Pope Alexander VI, known as the Duke of Poison, and to reform the religious court.

After all this was done, Pius III announced that he would try the case of the poisoning of Alexander VI.

As a result, the poisoned Archbishop Lowell was not dead yet, but Pius III, who had reigned for only 27 days—that is, less than a month—passed away suddenly.

The pope, who created the ninth shortest reign, was crowned in a hurry, and returned to the embrace of God in a hurry.

Archbishop Giuliano raised the corners of his lips in victory, and said to Father Joe, "Now, let's go back to where we should be."

In the following two weeks, the Holy See once again held an emergency election assembly.As the "nephew" of Pope Sixtus IV, Giuliano easily defeated Archbishop Lowell, who was questioned by the former Pope Pius III as the real murderer of Alexander VI, and was crowned as the new Pope. Julius II, also known as the legendary God of War Pope.

Father Qiao's identity was rediscovered after the new pope ascended the throne, and by the way, he became a cardinal again.

Julius II, who was supposed to start hiding his bow as a bird, couldn't even raise his guard against Cardinal Qiao, because... this guy is too muddy to support the wall.

Cardinal Joe's life in Rome was no different from his time in London. He was either immersed in fine wine or wasted in parties all day, using his life to his death, making every day like a carnival.The impeachment of Cardinal Qiao within the church has never stopped, but Julius II felt strangely more at ease with Cardinal Qiao.

Just as Raphael had expected when Cardinal Qiao went to Julius II alone, Cardinal Qiao was so useless that he couldn't give people any sense of crisis.

Cardinal Qiao's younger brother also let it go, as if the Medici family, which was affected and overthrown in the bizarre deaths of two consecutive popes before that, was not their family.

Julius II has completely opened his eyes. It turns out that there are people living in the center of power who can be stupid like this.

A year later, after Cardinal Joe's persevering request for the thousand and eighth time to go to England ([cross out] to continue living a life of luxury and lust with his friends [cross out]), Julius finally agreed .

Cardinal Qiao happily took Cavalier John and the birthday gift he was going to give August to Cambridgeshire.

Julie and her lover Claire are already waiting in Cambridgeshire.

When August knew that Father Joe was the legendary figure who was an archbishop at the age of eight, the expression on his face was really indescribable, not to mention that based on his understanding of Raphael, the conspirator was probably still alive. Thinking of sending Father Joe to the throne of the next pope.

Does the future of the Holy See really matter?

Cardinal Joe, who started to spend money more recklessly than before, telling the world all the time that I have money, that I have plenty of money, looked at August with a confused look: "What's wrong with the Holy See? Don't worry, you have Zhu Liano is here, so there must be no problem. He is so stingy that people want to cry, and I have never seen a Pope who is more cruel to himself than him."

In Father Qiao's world view, the pope has no luxury. From his brother-in-law to Alexander VI, that is the normal state of the pope. Today's Julius II is absolutely inhuman.

"So, you come to me from your happy life, just because you have a different view of consumption from the Pope?"

"How is it possible!" Cardinal Qiao felt that he had to say something for himself, "I can't stand it because he not only doesn't spend money himself, but also constantly persuades me to save money."

"..." Why can you speak so confidently? !

"That's right, that's right, a birthday present! You will definitely like it!" Cardinal Qiao's skill in changing the subject was still careless and brilliant.

But his ability to give gifts has improved a lot.

August and Raphael raised their eyebrows together, looking at the middle-aged priest who was sent to them by Cardinal Joe.What does it mean to send a priest who is not particularly tall and not particularly good-looking?

"His name is Nicolaus Copernicus. Besides being a priest, he is also an astronomer and mathematician. He has some interesting theories. I believe you will be interested."

Brother, Copernicus?Even though August was not familiar with Western history, he had also heard of Copernicus.My God, is Copernicus a man of this age?

"Of course he is. Who is the happiest after the death of Alexander VI? Copernicus is definitely one of them." Raphael whispered to August.

Alexander VI once proclaimed the "Sacred Order"-prohibiting the printing and distribution of any books that have not been reviewed by the church, and they will be burned when found. (adapted from Baidu)

Some of the theories that Copernicus was working on were "terrible" stuff that the Church would never approve of publishing.

"On the Hypothesis of Celestial Body Movement", commonly known as the heliocentric theory.

"!!!"

August's Hogwarts College has just opened, and what it lacks most is this kind of academic talent and historical celebrities to increase its popularity.

Seeing that August liked it, Cardinal Qiao also made up his mind to continue in the coming year!

So, on August's birthday, he received an artist named Michelangelo.

"=mouth="

"Guliano liked the church murals drawn by Michelang very much, and wanted to invite him to Rome to create for the Pope's tomb. But the construction of the Pope's tomb was temporarily suspended, so I cut it off and gave it to you. Do you like it?" Cardinal Joe He is a person who loves to spend money very much, and he is also a person who is absolutely generous to his friends.

It's a pity that August didn't have much time to get in close contact with another famous person in history.

Because there is a more important meaning for August - he learned to drive.

Going up and down, fast and slow, I experienced the hand speed of the old Yale driver who has been single for 28 years, and went all the way from the bedroom to some places that challenge the limit of human shame. By the way, I also broadened my horizons.

August used to think that as a modern gay who read countless films, it was impossible to have a pose he didn't know, and then he was severely slapped in the face by reality.How can the posture that can be counted with two hands reflect the creativity and imagination of the ancient working people?Teacher Raphael, who knows 72 basic models and related deformations, smiled and said nothing.

For a long period of time after that, August was living a life, how should I put it, make it different?Forever?No, no, no, it should be said that it was the years of extravagance.

After all, a young man who is full of anger is like a raging fire; a man who is about to enter the age of a man's most attractive long-legged uncle must be like a wolf and a tiger, like dry wood...

Together, the two completed a gorgeous transition from a theorist to a practitioner.

The author has something to say: Well, Copernicus was a man of the same age as Michelangelo and Father Joe (Leo X).
