Conquer the Dawn of Heaven

When it was late, two carriages filled with various luggage drove slowly into the King Juan gate in Zaragoza, from here along the avenue to the palace.

However, after walking for a while, the two carriages turned into a fork and drove up a small hill along a not too wide and somewhat bumpy road.

There is a residential area on the top of the mountain. Most of the people who live here are businessmen, landlords and wealthy families with a decent life.

The two carriages stopped in front of a not-so-large house, and with the help of the coachman, the two servants began to get rid of the things on the carriage quickly.

The carriage in front had a small canopy that could barely be the next two people. At this time, two women walked out of the shed.

It was a pair of master and servants, and the maid behind was holding two baskets in her hands, which contained some important personal items that the mistress wanted.

The hostess in front was empty-handed. Even in such cool weather, she wrapped herself very tightly. When the wind blew, the hood on her head floated slightly, revealing a strand of brown hair below.

The pair of masters and servants standing in front of the house stopped. They raised their heads and massed the two-story small building at the same time, and then the hostess sighed to herself: "It seems we will be living here during this time. "

"It looks pretty good, Madam," the maid said to the master with a smile, "I just don't know how long we will stay."

"Maybe, it won't take too long." The hostess said, turning around and looking into the distance, where is the direction of the palace, between this hill and the palace is a low-lying city, stand like this Here you can clearly see the outline of the palace in the distance.

"So we're going to gather the girls here right away?" The maid followed the master into the house and quickly found the mistress's room. Then she got acquainted and put the important things in the basket into the cabinet. The hostess asked, "Maybe our business is pretty good here."

"Yes, the business we are going to do this time is not small." Mrs. Olgala found a chair and sat down. She looked at the maid who was busy like a spinning top. "We have more important things to do, so You will start to be busy tonight."

That night, there was a little good news among the nobles in Zaragoza who always liked to look for flowers and willows. A woman who is said to be famous in Valarito came to Zaragoza.

It is said that this woman is very beautiful, and she knows a lot of fun. What's more important is that she has a wide range of channels and can always find satisfactory girls. It is even said that she has girls sent from the East and the new colonies in her hands. This is obviously a temptation for those who like to try new things.

This news will spread so quickly, of course, it has something to do with the hard work of the maid carrying the exquisite handwritten greetings from door to door, and those greetings are not only exquisitely crafted, but there is also a thin layer in each envelope. Thin gold leaf.

This makes many people interested in this woman who has not yet met, but has already shot such a generous woman.

Mrs. Olgal's movements are fast, or she is still a real expert in this industry.

Compared with her professional approach, the women who have already gained some fame, but are single-handedly breaking into the world, seem helpless.

On the second day of moving into the house, Mrs. Olgala took the maid to take the initiative to find the women who supported the portal alone. She provided them with generous remuneration and guaranteed that they would be able to enter and always want to contact. Those noble circles that have no way out, but the only condition is that they must belong to her.

"I can make you from ordinary prostitutes to happy women who will be jealous even for ladies. Those nobles will swarm around you, and you will become their darlings who are vying to please, but all this must be listened to by me. ."

Mrs. Olgala’s words made many women both excited and uneasy. They knew that this woman should be very powerful. If she did not follow her arrangements, perhaps her life in Zaragoza would become difficult in the future, and her Those promises really made them look forward to.

After consideration, some women decided to accept Mrs. Olgal’s olive branch. They closed their doors and moved into Mrs. Olgal’s two-story building that was being decorated.

Then, under the personal training of Mrs. Olgala, she began to relearn some real "professional knowledge".

Of course, the small waves of Zaragoza romantic nobles in the circle did not attract much attention. This is for Ferdinand who is troubled now. There are too many bad facts that he has to deal with now.

The sudden disappearance of Alexander VI is a good thing but also a trouble for Ferdinand. What he is most worried about now is to be accused of intentionally or unintentionally as the mastermind of this incident.

Although many people were secretly ecstatic about the pope's disappearance, Ferdinand believed that if someone publicly pointed out who was the mastermind, then everyone would spare no effort to blame the murderer.

So Ferdinand knew that he could never carry this scapegoat. He just told his archbishop from the beginning until everyone he met later seemed to agree that he was the mastermind.

This irritated Ferdinand and at the same time increased his vigilance.

He knew that when he was actively preparing to compete with Alexander again, his opponent was obviously not idle, which made him suspect that all this might be a conspiracy arranged by Alexander.

The other thing that troubles Ferdinand is about his grandson.

Maximian's messenger clearly expressed his doubts about whether he could properly take care of Charlie and Eleanor. This doubt even made Ferdinand almost into a rage.

Maximian was obviously worried that Ferdinand would control Charlie and Eleanor as firmly as Juana. If so, the previous efforts would become meaningless for Maximian.

So Maximian Ferdinand made a request that was unacceptable to him. He asked to send his pair of grandsons to Vienna to be taken care of by him personally. The reason was that the current situation in Iberia was turbulent. Suitable for the growth of his grandchildren.

Of course, what Ferdinand knows is actually Maximian’s excuse, just like he did all the prevarications to prevent Juana and his wife from returning to Castile as soon as possible. I am not between him and Philip because of the objections to the rule of the lowlands. Caused a deep conflict between father and son, he will keep preventing Juana and his wife from returning to Iberia.

Now he has put his idea on Charlie and Eleanor. Ferdinand can even imagine that if Charlie were to be sent to Austria, perhaps when he came back he might have forgotten that he was called Carlos. .

Ferdinand expressed strong opposition to this, he unceremoniously accused Maximian's messenger of talking nonsense, and then asked him to reply as soon as possible about whether Austria will send troops to contain the Roman Thesia as soon as possible.

Only this time the emissary's answer not only disappointed Ferdinand, but even made him wonder how sincere Maximian was to continue to maintain their alliance.

At this time, Ferdinand still didn’t believe in what kind of predicament Austria was facing. He believed that it was Maximian taking the opportunity to threaten, so he was very angry and wrote a letter to Maximian. .

He used some very harsh words to question whether the other party still remembered the covenant between the two parties, and at the same time severely refuted Maximian's proposal to receive the tea ceremony from Vienna.

All this was enough to make Ferdinand scorched. These annoying things kept him from paying attention to his mistresses for a long time, so when someone pleased and told him that there was a man in Zaragoza who was said to be in Barriari. After Dowd's famous prostitute, Ferdinand did not care too much.

Compared with Ferdinand’s situation, the Zaragoza church is not much better.

With two completely different attitudes towards the disappearance of Alexander VI, the current Zaragoza church seems to be divided into two opposing factions.

Regarding the speculation that the Pope may have been killed, the Archbishop of Zaragoza is cautious.

He was not eager to show his loyalty to the new Pope that the Vatican might be born because of the disappearance of Alexander VI, but he took this matter very carefully.

Especially because this is likely to involve Ferdinand, which makes the archbishop more cautious.

In the eyes of the archbishop, no matter whether the pope has been killed or not, the regent of Castilian cannot give up.

Then this may eventually evolve into a dispute or even a direct war between the two countries.

In fact, almost everyone knows that this war is destined to be inevitable. Although the church of Aragon will inevitably be involved, the archbishop hopes that the cause of the war will not be borne by the terrible incident of the death of the pope.

Not everyone agrees with the archbishop's cautiousness.

Because of the arrival of Alexander VI, a group of church bishops who felt their power was threatened were ecstatic about the pope's disappearance.

If it were not for the concern that others might be accused of being complicit in the murder of the Pope, these people would have celebrated publicly to vent their stubborn resentment.

In the eyes of these people, although Alexander VI was born in Valencia, he did not show much affection and care for his hometown during his tenure.

And because of this, his family has always firmly controlled Valencia's many powers from the church to the dunya, so that they can only watch Valencia almost occupied by the Borgia family.

In contrast, a new pope who has no interest in them may be more acceptable, and since Alexander VI is probably no longer alive, he should show goodwill to the Vatican as soon as possible, whether it is to the Aragonese church or to the Aragonese church. They themselves are very good.

This kind of controversy became more and more intense as Alexander VI remained silent, and even the archbishop gradually began to waver.

This made him have to think about how he should react if the Pope was really killed.

Especially when thinking that the new pope in the future might be the father-in-law of the regent of Castile again, the archbishop couldn't help but feel very emotional for Alexander's "No matter who you win, I won't lose anyway."

But soon, the archbishop thanked him for his caution.

The Sicilian army's victory at the Battle of Seville made the Aragonese feel very complicated.

The "comrades" won the victory over the Castilians, which made the Aragonese happy, but on the other hand, every time they heard it, they seemed to be forced to be reminded that now Sicily is no longer Aragonese. The rule of the monarch.

This inexplicable sorrow and grief made the Aragonese feel complicated for the Sicilian army.

With the announcement of the Queen of Sicily to punish enemies who offended the Pope, the mood of the Aragonese is even more unspeakable.

But this made the Archbishop of Zaragoza, who was hesitating, finally relieved.

This is a war!

By this time, no one doubted the war that would break out between the two countries, or that this was originally the result of the pursuit of both sides.

Just like Isabella and Juana back then, a battle for the throne is inevitable.

Only this time the protagonist became Isabella's husband and Juana's half-brother.

The reinforcements of the two sides also changed from Aragon and Portugal to Austria and Sicily.

Even at this time, many people still think that as Charlie's grandfather, Maximian's army to support Aragon is an inevitable result.

Because of this, the Aragonese are not worried about the upcoming war with Castile.

Some people have even publicly declared that they were either directly fighting the enemy at the border, or being sent by the king to Naples and Rome Thesia to attack the prince’s territory with the Austrians.

Only when Ferdinand heard this, this made him in his personal letter to Maximian, even more because of dissatisfaction filled with a lot of almost questioning words.

"His Majesty, I have to ask this question again. When can your army launch an offensive against Rometesia? I believe this is not only related to Aragon, but also to your own interests. I have passed My friends in the Vatican announced their support for your claim to Milan, but your delay in responding really puzzled me."

After writing such a rude content, Ferdinand hesitated whether the words were too harsh, but in the end he decided not to modify a word.

You have already aroused strong dissatisfaction with Maximian's ambiguous attitude. He has heard too much about the weakness of the Austrian army in the Lombardy region.

Reminiscing about the recent fiasco in Switzerland, Ferdinand had to wonder whether the Austrians could still contain his enemies in Italy for him.

Although no war has been declared publicly, according to intermittent inquiries from some merchants from Castile, the Queen of Sicily has ordered a part of her army to move into the area between Castile and Aragon.

And this time, the advance of the Sicilian army got permission from Valaritod.

This was the first time Alexander had negotiated with a foreign monarch as the regent, and Sicily was also the first country to officially recognize his status.

Everything is so natural that it seems to be the way it should be.

But the war did come, the point is that Ferdinand was not ready!

Even if he knew that a battle with Alexander was inevitable, Ferdinand still hoped that he could formally start a decisive battle with Alexander after he had greater confidence.

To be precise, it was after Austria occupied Lombardy and launched an offensive against Romantesia.

At that time, Alexander was bound to be exhausted to deal with the enemies on the two battlefields.

Unlike fighting the French, Ferdinand did not believe that anyone would risk offending two powers at the same time and stand by Alexander in such a war.

Perhaps the French would join him in dealing with the Austrians in Italy, but that would definitely arouse strong opposition from the Italian city-states.

At least Venice will stand on the side of Austria without hesitation, and Ferdinand is sure of this.

Next, the war will become to your advantage.

Once setbacks are encountered on the battlefield, the opposition forces within Castile will take the opportunity to move.

Alexander's already unstable position is bound to shake.

Ferdinand thought his plan was perfect, but he never thought that Alexander would start the war first.

The reason is not the battle for the throne of Castile, but the punishment of the murderer who persecuted Pope Alexander VI. This sounded completely legitimate excuse.

He must now face the two enemies of Castile and Sicily alone.

Ferdinand unexpectedly discovered that at some point, the situation on both sides had undergone a huge reversal.

Now he who wants to be outnumbered, becomes him.

An autumn rain turned the coolness into a deep chill.

Several horses ran forward under the silting rain on the ground. The people on the horses were all wearing dark short coats, and muddy water splashed on their boots and pants, looking a little embarrassed.

However, when the people on the roadside saw the knight on the horse, they couldn't help but show fear and hid under the eaves of the houses on both sides of the road.

This seemed to make the people on the horse very proud, they all laughed, and at the same time the whip in their hands snapped in the air.

These riders soon came to a place not far from the city gate, but when they saw a man standing under the city gate with a gloomy face, these people immediately became much more honest.

The man silently looked at the subordinates who rushed to dismount in front of him, and asked in a cold tone, "I'm very proud, isn't it?"

The riders looked at each other and kept winking secretly, knowing that one of them stood up and said carefully: "Sir, we just rode a little faster."

"It's okay, it's not a big deal," the man glanced casually at the person in front of him. "Just let your heads get closer to the butcher's axe."

The man's words embarrassed several people. They knew that the adults should be very angry, which made them immediately become more careful.

"My lord, we've patrolled the whole city," a man reported cautiously, saying that he still took a awkward notebook out of his pocket a little awkwardly. Illegal behavior, and then punished as you taught us."

Sebastian Don Capendi silently took the book in the man’s hand and turned it over, and then he frowned slightly, ready to teach himself these men again when a carriage slowed down. Slowly drove into the city gate.

The man who drove the car was a very energetic Moore boy, with a hearty smile on his face, he looked like a submissive and clever servant, UU reading www.uukanshu.com or someone who made a living by selling firewood Lad.

"Excuse me," the young man Moore politely greeted these prominent people at the city gate, and then smiled and asked, "How can I get to the Wangjia prison?"

Don Capendi looked at the Moor with a gloomy face. His years of life as a warden made him no longer judge people based on religion and appearance, so he would not have any hostility because the other party was a pagan. On the contrary, he covered the carriage. The faintly visible eyes behind the very tight car door were very interested.

"The Moors quickly get out of the car and salute. You are the warden of the Wangjia Prison." One of Don Capendi's men reminded loudly.

The young Moor immediately looked at Don Capendi carefully, as if to make sure that what the man said was true or false.

Then he quickly jumped off the carriage, walked to the back carriage and opened the door.

Then he said to Don Capendi with a serious look: "My lord prison, please visit the Supreme Pope."
