Your Mightiness

Obviously, during the period when Auguste hadn't had time to return to London, Richard III would continue to go mad, in a very calm, rational but indifferent way (from the perspective of the Inquisition) ) attitude crazy.

"Notify the Inquisition that if Leeds and the arsonist are not handed over, they will be besieged to death!"

After the fire, the Knights directly under the king led a team to surround the headquarters of the Inquisition in London, and no entry or exit was allowed, no matter whether it was people or food.At that time, the core figures of the Inquisition "coincidentally" had a meeting at the headquarters, and now they have been trapped in the headquarters for nearly ten days, and almost everything they should drink and eat has been searched. , all of them were so hungry that they were pale and emaciated, and they would rather die than live.

The archbishop in red, sent by the Holy See to negotiate, had the most direct dialogue with Richard III time and time again, but no matter how hard the other party tried, it was useless.

Richard III said one sentence from beginning to end-if you don't hand over Leeds and the arsonist, then wait for those people to die inside.

"Isn't the conflict caused by this a bit too big?" Before the Holy See protested, the people on the king's side felt that this was inappropriate.Even the bad-tempered Mrs. Mary doesn't approve of such impulsiveness, because they don't have any evidence to prove that the Inquisition killed Miss Elizabeth and hid Miss Elizabeth's body.

"Do as I say!" Richard III was unmoved.

Because the purpose of Richard III is to create conflicts, not afraid of big things, but small things.If the Holy See cannot bear the pressure and is willing to exchange Miss Elizabeth's body for the monks of the Inquisition, that is the evidence that they murdered the princess. Just kill the group of beasts in the referee!

Let's put it this way, whether there is evidence is not important to Richard III. He only wants to uproot the cancer of the Inquisition from the land of England before his death. No one can leave alive!

If the Holy See is willing to negotiate, then negotiate, if not, it is better.

Richard III still has some sense, at least his firepower is very focused, and he is focused on fighting the Inquisition to death, but he has no intention of confronting the Holy See, so there is no such thing as blasphemy, anti-God, and extermination explain.

In fact, what England is now promoting from top to bottom is that the Inquisition is the real blasphemy, and they are rampant on the land of England in the name of God. Today, they can openly hunt down the king's sister and set fire to most of them What are you going to do tomorrow in London? !The threat of the tribunal is rampant.

Even if the royal family can't actually come up with any tangible evidence, that big fire is enough to arouse public anger.

What the Great Fire of London really burned was not just the old city and the bacteria-carrying rats trapped in the city, but also the angry flames in people's hearts.The fire in the city is extinguished, but the fire in my heart is getting higher and higher.

By the way, yes, in addition to planting the court, the Great Fire of London actually had many positive effects, such as solving the epidemic problem in London.This is not someone's wild fabrication, but a fact.The same is true in history. The eradication of the Black Death in London was after the Great Fire of London that burned for several days and nights.People can run away with their families, but the rats hiding in the cellar have nowhere to hide.

Of course, this advantage has not yet become apparent.

Mrs. Mary only saw her heart-stopping economic loss statement, not to mention the money that was about to be spent to rebuild the city.Although her father Richard II was unreliable in various ways during his lifetime, he was not so lavish.In fact, Richard III was actually a very stingy king.He disliked spending even a penny on anyone but himself and his brother.Richard II is like a hamster about to face the winter, storing all kinds of things in his mouth all the time, but no matter how much he has, he will feel insecure.Madam Mary grew up beside such a contradictory father, so she naturally and unconsciously became particularly contradictory.

For people she cares about, Mrs. Mary can spend tens of thousands without blinking an eye, but for people who are not so relevant, she will care too much about it to the point where she doesn't look like a princess of a country at all.

At least in Madam Mary's opinion, his younger brother's act of paying for compensation after burning down the city is quite crazy.

Richard III had his own calculations on these economic issues: "This can promote industrial development."

Moreover, he was the one who displaced most of London's citizens, and it must be him who gave them a new home.By the way, you can also take the opportunity to build a more complete urban drainage system, which is perfect for direct access to the home.

"Where did you get so much money to make something?" Mrs. Mary asked a very realistic question.

"I have." Richard III was not going to explain further, because he was afraid that his sister would really go mad after he finished speaking.No matter how angry Mary was, Richard III would still do it, but Mary would not be angry with her if he could not be so angry.

The wealth jointly accumulated by Richard II and Richard III was regarded by Richard III as this compensation + urban development fund.One of the advantages Richard III had over his father as a dying king who planned to emulate his predecessors as the last mad king was that he still had time to spend all the wealth accumulated by several generations.Take it from the people and use it from the people.

As for what to do if the country has no money after the death of Richard III...that is a question that the next king needs to consider.

Richard III believed that with the earning power of his cousin and uncle Raphael, they would be rich again before industry developed.If not, there is still the wealth accumulated by the French royal family.

In a word, Richard III must go his own way to the end, and it is useless to persuade anyone.

"This is not the place for you to interrupt, Duchess." Richard III made the final closing statement.

Obviously the king's voice didn't get any louder or harsher, but Mrs. Mary just didn't dare to speak anymore.For the first time in her life, Mary realized that sitting in front of her was not only her half-brother, but also the king of the country.He finally became what she expected the king to be, but when he really became like this, it made her feel so strange and alienated, which made her a little overwhelmed.

Is it rare that you really have such a big reaction when you are emotionally frustrated?

Mary had nothing to say, but the Cardinal still had something to say.

"Isn't that too much for you?" said the cardinal in one of his audiences to the king, and he wanted to make a fuss.

But he was KO'd by the little king. He sneered and said, "Have you ever heard of the name Lydia Mackenzie? An important suspect who intended to seduce and murder me, and almost killed the mother of my unborn child. She has explained what should be explained and what should not be explained. "

The Black Prince has sent back news that he successfully found Hope and got all the evidence.It's just that Richard III is not ready to make it public yet, but it is still necessary to talk about it in private.

"..."

As head of all the dioceses in England, it would be absurdly false for the Cardinal to say that he was unaware of the little plots and tricks of the Inquisition.Although the archbishop did not agree with the referee's crazy plan, his power alone was too insignificant, at least not enough to change the meaning of Pope Julius II.

The Archbishop had also secretly prayed in his heart that things would not succeed, but he did not expect that the price of failure would be so heavy.The king found out about the plot, and didn't mind being blackmailed as a bargaining chip.

The king who once sat on the throne and looked at his cousin anxiously when he first came to the throne has really changed.He is no longer just pretending to be cold and imitative, nor is he blindly listening to the random instructions of others. He has his own ideas, his own ideas, and extra firm beliefs.He knows exactly how to implement it, how much he will pay for it, and how to make it work.He was even cold-blooded enough to count himself in.

It wasn't until the cardinal left the inner court of Hampton Court Palace and stood in the front garden full of patchwork hedges and flower landscapes that he remembered to ask, wait, isn't the mother of the child the Lily who was sent by the court? Dia?At least they had previously received word that Lydia was pregnant with the king's child.

But what if Lydia had been discovered by Richard III from the beginning?The king used this to protect his real first love and the child of his first love, so the king's city would be too scary.

is it possible?

Why is it impossible?

Lydia was eager for meritorious service, and at first pretended to cooperate with the king, but now she finally couldn't help but want to take the opportunity to kill the king's first love, leaving only the child, but she was self-defeating and forced out the fierce side that the king had been hiding all along.That's why they met such a crazy and sane king.

They have personally created an enemy that is too difficult to deal with.

God, what the hell did they do.

No matter how warm the noon sun was, the archbishop in red felt an uncontrollable coldness flowing from his heart to his limbs and bones in the lush greenery, until his hands and feet were cold and his back was sweating.

He couldn't remember how the archbishop in red got into the carriage. All he could think about was those chilling palaces from the king.On the way, he typed up a draft report to the Holy See, which contained a lot of personal opinions. In a nutshell, Richard III is simply a combination of the she-wolf of France + the Black Prince + Richard II. It is almost equal to the famous Duke Raphael, who even uses himself when he is crazy. It is unwise for us to be enemies.Suggest a peace.

Unfortunately, this detailed report sent to Rome did not receive the attention of the Holy See.

It's not that the Holy See doesn't want to pay attention, but that the Holy See itself is already in chaos. Who is in the mood to pay attention to a report from London?

Julius II, who was already 60 years old when he was elected pope, in terms of average age (the pervert of the black prince is an exception among the exceptions), it is impossible to live for many more years, not to mention that he is also very superstitious Even the days when returning from Bologna to Rome for the Pope's coronation must go through the observation and calculation of star trajectories by astrologers at night for many consecutive days.It is conceivable that the Pope, who was at the bottom of Xishan, died of anger one day after hearing that his most trusted astrologer was almost crazy and trembling after saying the "prophecy" that he would die soon. What kind of things would he have? Fear and restlessness.

The Pope spent a period of time trembling and suspicious like this. He didn't believe anyone at first, but now he has become like an executioner who wants to kill him. He is full of vigilance and malice. After entering the room, finally ushered in his real death.

No one knows what happened in that door, only a servant heard that the Pope was still muttering when he was dying: "As long as the Lord gives me a little time, just a little bit, I can make the Duchy of Naples..."

Then, there was no more, the ambitious pope closed his eyes forever with unwillingness and fear of death.When the servants went in the next day, his body was already stiff.

Listening to the person's vivid description, Auguste had a joy in his heart that he could only share with Raphael.

He really is a vicious person, August thinks so, and he doesn't mind being a little bit more vicious.

Cardinal Qiao also received news from his younger brother that he was ready to go to Rome to take over as Pope.Because his younger brother who is a duke and the slowly rising family have already controlled the various fortresses in Rome for him, at least his younger brother thought he controlled them.

Cardinal Qiao has recently felt that he is floating when he walks. This is really a person sitting at home, and the crown comes from the sky.

Cardinal Qiao asked Julie again and again in disbelief: "Am I going to be the Pope? Am I really going to be the Pope?"

"Yes, yes, congratulations, my lord pope." Julie fanned the silk fan in her hand impatiently. Recently, she doesn't like big feather fans, but prefers embroidered silk fans. This is popular, and the degree of liking the new and loathing the old is better than a scumbag. Men change lovers much faster.

"I'm going to be Pope!" Cardinal Qiao rubbed his hands excitedly, ready to do something big, like spending 3000 million to celebrate.

"..." Extravagant prodigals like Julie feel that Cardinal Qiao's idea seems to be a bit problematic, but she really can't tell what is wrong with her. After all, she has been hired by Cardinal Qiao and will hold a ten-day continuous conference for him. It was time to celebrate the ball, and in the end she could only say, "Don't forget to investigate Miss Elizabeth's whereabouts. You know, Al hasn't closed his eyes for a long time because of this incident."

When Miss Elizabeth was mentioned, the atmosphere of joy would inevitably be diluted a lot. Cardinal Qiao lowered his head: "I know, if it was really done by the referee or those old guys in the Central Committee, I will definitely make them regret being born in this world." !"

Apart from being generous to his friends, Cardinal Qiao is also loyal.He certainly wouldn't let his friend's family die in vain.

"Remember not to mention this when you go to say goodbye to His Majesty." Julie had to remind Cardinal Qiao again that this guy is really not too brainy except for his face.

"I know, I know, why should I bring up old things again, to bring up his sadness?" Cardinal Qiao felt that he was not that stupid.

Unexpectedly, August took the initiative to bring it up: "I never begged you to do anything, Joe, only Liz, can you promise me? No matter who the other party is, you will uphold justice for Liz."

"I will personally write the order to hang them!" Cardinal Joe has been away from Rome for too many years. The embarrassment that almost begged nowhere when he didn't leave, "I swear to you, Al, whoever it is, I'm going to kill him, at any cost. And, please don't say anything and finish this thing and we'll be clear , how much I do for you, I am willing, you took me in when I was most afraid, I will remember this kindness forever."

Raphael was right when he said something back then. It was really not kind to take in August, who was just a foolish little duke, who had failed in the election for the Pope.

Although Cardinal Qiao felt that with August's character, even if he knew the truth, he would definitely take him in, but it was true that he did not clearly explain his interests to August.Making August think he was just hiding a cabbage, but in fact it was white powder, this is a matter of two orders of magnitude.

"John will go with you." John returned to Paris from London after Walter and Anne got married. Now, August decided to let John escort Cardinal Joe to Rome.

"You, you mean..." Cardinal Qiao's eyes lit up instantly.

"Don't do anything to him!" August was just afraid that Cardinal Joe would have some surprises.

Raphael told August very bluntly that he hoped to use John to monitor and control Cardinal Joe. No one knew what he would be like when the other party became Pope.But this plan was rejected by August. Cardinal Qiao liked John so much. No matter what the future holds, this injury cannot come from John.

John may not like Cardinal Joe, but he cannot take advantage of his feelings just because Cardinal Joe likes him.

Raphael let out a long sigh, but still fulfilled August's wish, and did not impose tasks on John other than protecting Cardinal Joe.

Cardinal Qiao froze again: "I know, I won't force him, but if he also likes me, then you can't interfere with us."

August is noncommittal about Cardinal Qiao still having such fantasies. Humans always need a little hope.

When sending away Cardinal Joe, Julie, and John, August gave Cardinal Joe a red velvet bag with a gold lace, which can be worn on the body, and it will make a golden collision sound when walking. Because it's really full of gold coins.Heavy, shiny gold coins.

"You can't be a serious Pope, so try to be the Sun King everyone likes."

It is impossible for Cardinal Qiao to be an oppressive person in his life, but he also has his own advantages. No matter what he does, people can't help but want to forgive him.

The author has something to say: Leo X, the prototype of Cardinal Joe, did like to carry a red bag full of gold coins with him in history, and gave it to anyone who liked it.Well, a particularly miraculous Pope.
