Conquer the Dawn of Heaven

Old Rovere walked out of the Holy Grace Prayer Hall with a gloomy expression.

The hot and bright sunlight shone on his face, but it couldn't drive away the shadows in his heart.

Just the night before, a person from Ferrara brought him a letter from Constantine.

In the letter, Constantine complained to him about Barendi's behavior in an angry tone.

"She's not my sister, because I can't see a trace of the Rovere family in her, or on the other hand, she looks like a Rovere, but her ruthlessness is completely used on her own relatives."

Constantine's resentment is not without reason.

According to Alexander's vision, Romantesia and its allied armies need to establish effective command, and even the armies of various countries should provide the necessary unified armies for this purpose.

This may not mean much to "Alexander's country", but it has a completely different meaning to his other alliances.

No one wants to put his army in the hands of others, which is like squeezing the hilt of a sword to others and aiming the tip of the sword at oneself.

Although Parma and Taranto are also alliances, because their positions are not obvious yet, Ferrara, located between the "Alexandria countries", appears to be a bit prominent.

Barendi unceremoniously proposed to Constantine that he surrender the command of all the troops except the necessary city defense forces. After being angrily rejected by Constantine, Barendi resolutely ordered the withdrawal of all the troops stationed there. The Western Legion near Ferrara and the Adriatic Sea.

This means that Ferrara is likely to face the threat of the Venetians from embarking on the Adriatic coast, especially after the strange confrontation between Rome Thesia and Venice. It seemed that he could finally free his hands to teach Ferrara a lesson.

Constantine didn't want to admit that he was scared, but the fact is that he was scared, and he was scared.

The Ferrara people fell into the fear of being abandoned.

The Venetians have always been obsessed with Ferrara, and they will not let this opportunity go.

Even those who know a little bit about the current situation in Northern Italy know that even if Ferrara cannot be occupied in the end, it is only used as a bargaining chip with Rometesia, and it is enough for the Venetians to fight Ferrara's idea.

Constantine clearly felt the anger and dissatisfaction of the Ferrara nobles and the people against him. People blamed all this on him, and he thought it was Barendi's fault.

Old Rovere looked stern, and walked heavily in the shade of the promenade.

He doesn't know whether he should be proud or helpless. He always feels that Barendi is the one who has truly inherited his character among his children, but now he finds that the daughter he used to be proud of has now become him. Stubborn opponent.

At the same time, the old Rovere was also very annoyed by Constantine. He felt that his son's performance had let him down, and sometimes even doubted whether his decision to fight for the Duke of Milan was correct.

Barendi must be stopped from doing this.

Although disappointed with his son, Old Rovere still couldn't give up that tempting idea.

After all, the throne of the Duke of Milan is too coveted. Think about the rise of the Sforza family at the beginning, and think about how many times the two countries have fought for Milan, and you know how important Milan is.

What's more, everyone knows that getting Milan is equivalent to inheriting the rich Lombardy.

And getting Lombardy means almost mastering the northern part of the Italian peninsula.

Just thinking about this, old Rovere put aside the idea of ​​abandoning Milan that had just emerged.

Several priests came from the opposite side and saw the old Rovere who seemed to be unhappy. Those people stopped far away and stood aside, and at the same time bowed to the cardinal.

Now in the Vatican, if you don’t use the first name or surname, but just call the cardinal, it must be the old Rovere.

Since ousting Alexander VI from Rome, the old Rovere has become the uncrowned pope of the Vatican, and now he is no different from the pope except that he cannot publicly wear the triple crown that was later remade.

In this regard, the old Rovere is still very satisfied.

He even was very grateful to the Queen of Sicily for this, because of this, the old Rovere clearly expressed his support for the queen on the coronation of the two Sicilian queens.

A figure appeared in the far side of the corridor, and the priests who were about to leave stopped again, and they bowed to the approaching person again.

"You are here," Massimo said in a slightly exaggerated tone. He first bowed slightly to the old Rovere, then reached out his hand in an inviting gesture, and walked side by side with the old Rovere. "I'm going to visit you." "

"Metropolitan, what's the matter?"

Old Rovere asked a little vigilantly. He knew that this young cardinal was Alexander’s agent in the Vatican. If he had been in his current position, he would not have put this priest in his eyes. After all, even if he was relying on his backing to have a good ride, he could It will take at least another 20 years for his qualifications to compete for the pope's throne.

By that time, the soul of the old Rovere should have already gone to heaven.

But now he can't help but take the younger generations in this cardinal group seriously. After all, the rapid rise of the Principality of Rome Thesia has made Massimo's voice in the Vatican a lot louder.

"It's such a cardinal. I hope you will allow me to leave Rome temporarily. I'm going to Bologna for a tour."

The old Rovere twisted his eyebrows slightly, the cardinals could not leave the Vatican casually, and at certain times, everyone must guard the Holy See.

Although there are no major celebrations now, let alone news of Alexander VI being unwell, Massimo suddenly left the Vatican for Bologna at this time, which always made the old Rovere feel a little uneasy.

He quickly guessed whether this was related to what was said in the letter sent by Constantine, but he couldn't think of the connection between the two for a while.

Old Rovere thought while quietly saying, "It's not peaceful everywhere now. Do you need to think about leaving Rome at this time?"

Masimo made a helpless gesture: "I know this is indeed dangerous. Now people have less and less awe of the church. It is said that not long ago, two priests who came from Ossan were robbed halfway."

"This is really terrible." After showing due care, the old Rovere stared at Maximo with piercing eyes. "Then what makes you insist on this dangerous trip?"

"It's an adult who believes in God," Masimo said solemnly. "I need to go to Bologna to make a ruling. This matter is very important. If I say that I might be in danger because of this, I think it is God who is testing me. Loyalty to faith."

The old Rovere looked at Massimo with some surprise. He swore that this man would never be more loyal to his faith, so he didn't believe a letter of Massimo's words.

But even though he was worried that this might have something to do with Ferrara, Masimo looked like "believe it or not, I believe it", and he couldn't fault it for a while.

"Then everything depends on God's arrangement."

"Yes, everything depends on God's arrangement."

Massimo nodded to Old Rovere as he said, and at the same time there was a smile that made Old Rovere guess again.

Massimo left Rome on the second day when he asked the old Rovere for a leave of absence, and this move made the old Rovere suspicious again.

By convention, it is very grand to pivot like Massimo. Even though Massimo seems to be known for being unconventional, he has not neglected the necessary rituals so much in the past.

So the old Rovere was even more suspicious of his trip.

The weather is too hot, but Massimo no longer wants to wait.

He took an entourage of about 20 people, except for his secretary and an accompanying priest, the others were soldiers almost armed to the teeth.

Massimo is very careful, this kind of care has actually been cultivated since he was in Naples.

He knew when to cheat money from the nobles with his cunning, and how to get into the bedroom of the nobles by being able to talk.

However, he has not been beaten to death yet because of his cautiousness.

He was able to avoid the jealous husbands and wealthy businessmen who were cheated of money, but not only by luck, but because he was always careful, he finally got into the Vatican.

Despite the heat of heaven, Massimo didn't dare to care, he let the guards bring enough weapons, even he himself not only wore a secret armor under the robe, but also hid two muskets.

The journey from Rome to Bologna is not very long, but it will take several days.

Especially when the weather and the situation are disturbing, no one dares to drive too many roads every day.

Because that’s not heat stroke, or maybe because I missed the village where I stayed overnight, I had to sleep outdoors.

It is obviously unwise to spend the night in the wild at this time, so the time available for travel in a day is pitiful.

Masimo was obviously anxious.

After leaving Rome, he first relied on the many villages along the way not far from Rome and drove on his way. He didn't find a place to spend the night until it was late, and then he became cautious until the road gradually became desolate.

But even so, he still seized the time to hurry.

In this way, after 4 days, he finally saw the shadow of the typical dark red city of Bologna.

Paul Busaco, who was stationed in Bologna, was very surprised by the arrival of the cardinal.

He did not know how Massimo came to Bologna suddenly, although he knew that it was the residence of the Diocese of Tuscany-Romagna in name, but this was the number of visits by Massimo since he took office. Bologna.

And last time, it was when Barenti ordered Gompatti to invade Ferrara, which led to Busaco's occupation of Bologna, and he had to make Bologna the capital's residence by mistake.

So after bringing the cardinal into the city, Busako couldn't help but curiously inquired about Masimo.

It was just that Massimo was a little absent-minded. He hurriedly sent the Bologna nobles who greeted him, and then he couldn't wait to propose to the University of Bologna.

Seeing Busako suddenly becoming a little weird when he heard what he said, Massimo let out a triumphant laugh.

The rumors that Busaco is pursuing female students at the University of Bologna have been around for a long time. Although people don’t really care that Busaco has a few mistresses, when it is heard that he is pursuing the daughter of an academic master, including Alexander, including, still surprised many people by his boldness.

"Tell me, where is that da Vinci now?"

After laughing for a while, Masimo finally mentioned the reason for this sudden visit.

Hearing Busaco said that he is now at the University of Bologna safely studying his knowledge that no one can understand, Massimo finally relieved a little.

When the situation in northern Italy was severe and the wind was treacherous, Alexander still urged his wife in his letter to Barendi that he must not easily mobilize Busaco's Bologna regiment.

The reason for this exhortation is not that he does not trust his avant-garde captain, but because Bologna has something that is more important to Alexander.

University of Bologna-Pavia.

For Alexander, the territory can be regained by occupation, and the army can be rebuilt when the army is eliminated, but the University of Bologna-Pavia is a treasure he must not lose.

"I know what you are worried about," Bussacco said, looking at the absent-minded Massimo on the way to the University of Bologna. "The Duchess ordered Ferrara to be abandoned, but this does not mean that we allow the Venetians to occupy the fee. Lara will not allow them to threaten Bologna."

"You're right, but who knows this," Massimo responded casually. He actually didn't want to talk about it with Busaco. After all, what he was going to do in Bologna this time would be contrary to him. "We must be more careful. You should know these people. They may be more important to the Duke than to us."

Busako, who wanted to refute Maximo, thought for a while and finally didn't speak, because even though he didn't want to admit it, he knew in his heart that Maximo was telling the truth.

Alexander’s emphasis on the University of Bologna was unexpected from the very beginning. With the move of the University of Pavia, Bologna has become not only the Italian peninsula, but also the most important place of higher education in the entire European continent.

Compared with the University of Bologna-Pavia, which has gradually changed towards the prototype of its sub-specialties, the University of Paris has not really derived the appearance of a modern university.

It's just that Busaco still doesn't quite believe that Massimo travels all the way, just to suddenly want to see what the University of Bologna is like.

But after seeing Da Vinci, Uukanshu www.uukanshu.com seemed to be slightly relieved by Massimo, Busaco felt that perhaps he had guessed wrong.

But Massimo only relaxed a little, and then suddenly became nervous again.

He anxiously asked a school official who accompanied them for the name of a student. When he was sure that there was such a person in the University of Bologna, Massimo finally relaxed completely.

It was a man who seemed to be in his early 30s, with neatly combed hair buckled on top of his head like a lid, and only a little stubble on his clean shaved chin.

This man wore a large black robe of a monk, and when he walked into the room, his robe swung back and forth like a scarecrow in a wheat field.

Seeing this man, Masimo's faintly tense nerves finally relaxed. He waited patiently until the man had finished saluting him, first looked carefully, and then said to the man: "It's you, Nicholas. · Copernicus, the Duke of Rome Thesia needs your service."
