Chapter 1031 Convincing Father-in-law

After arriving in Rome, Marin brought only 100 guards into the city. As for 200 scouts and 200 officers, Marin directly helped find a garrison outside Rome and asked them to stay temporarily.

Marin had a very good relationship with the Pope's military, and even now the Pope's state still has 7,000 soldiers and horses. Therefore, these 400 subordinates were directly arranged to an abandoned castle on the outskirts of Rome, and their living conditions were much better than sleeping in the wild.

When I arrived in Rome, there was no reason to not see my father-in-law? So Marin brought a lot of gifts to visit her father-in-law.

When Julius II saw Marin, he was a little unhappy. Because this guy kidnapped all his daughters. But the North Sea Kingdom was so far from Rome. This made it very inconvenient for Julius II to see his daughter, or his daughter wanted to see him. Therefore, when he saw Marin, Julius II was a little whispered and glared.

He was too lazy to see the gifts given by Marin. Because he was the pope and had never seen anything good? However, the bucket of maple syrup sent by Marin aroused his interest. After all, it was rare to have this thing on the European continent.

"Get it from the New World?" asked Julius II.

"Yes, it is made from a sap that is drilled from a tree. It has a sweet taste and is very nutritious. Of course, you can't eat too much. However, with this, you don't have to eat sucrose."

Maple syrup is also a kind of sugar, but the sugar is not as high as sucrose. Moreover, because it has various minerals and organic acids, it is very beneficial to nutritional supplements for the human body. Especially for elderly people like Julius II, this nutritional syrup is most suitable for eating.

Julius II nodded and accepted Marin's filial piety with a smile. But Marin said again:

"However, this thing is a specialty of the New World. You can eat it yourself. Don't take it out for others to see, otherwise it will be difficult to explain!"

Julius II rolled his eyes:

"I still need you to teach me? I will tell others that this is a kind of syrup imported from the Middle East, so I'm done?" Italy and the Middle East have frequent exchanges. God knows that some strange things from the Middle East will flow into Italy. Moreover, in this era, Europe and the Middle East are in exchanges and are guarding against each other because of religious issues, so they are not particularly familiar with each other.

After handing over maple syrup, Julius II suddenly said:

"I remember you said that you wanted to raise Robert, Phyllis's child, to become the future pope?"

"Yes, I have such a plan, what's wrong?"

"When the battle is over, send Robert to Rome." Julius II said lightly.

"What? How old is Robert? He sent him to Rome so early? Isn't it too early?" Robert was still a three or four-year-old baby, and he could adapt to a place like Rome so early? What's more, Marin actually has selfish intentions, that is, the child has not yet been raised, and he left himself so early, and may not have been married to him in the future. Even if he became a pope, he might not be willing to help his brother Caesar... So, in recent years, it is best to keep him by his side, cultivate feelings with himself, and also cultivate feelings with Caesar.

Julius II glared at Marin and said:

"I didn't let him live in Rome from now on, but let him show off in Rome first, so that everyone can know that there is such a person, and that he is from my family of Rovere! Otherwise, how can he protect him and become a cardinal?"

"What? Have you arranged his identity?" Marin said happily.

"Well, after the pest of the Borgia family, no one survived the main lineage of the Rovere family, but there were still people living in the side branch. I persuaded a relative of the side branch to declare Robert as their child and officially named Robert Dela Rovere. In this way, even if Robert is a junior in my family, I have reason to protect him as a cardinal and directly join the Holy See at the age of 18! I am old now and I don't know when I will see God. Therefore, Robert's protection problem must be resolved as soon as possible!" After saying that, Julius II sighed. He is already 65 years old, and in this era, he may go to heaven at any time. Therefore, he must take advantage of his life to get rid of some things.

"Will someone choose that family be suspected? After all, a child suddenly appeared in their family..."

"It's okay. In order to avoid Caesar Bogia's pursuit, their family fled into the mountains. They only came out this year and had very little contact with the outside world. They have a few children in their family, which outsiders don't know." Obviously, Julius II was carefully selected.

"Then the kid..."

"I send Rome to you every winter and accompany Angela and Ferris' mother for several months. The rest of the time, I will return to Orich to live!"

"Okay, that's it!" As long as he doesn't separate from his family from now on, Marin can accept it. As for living in Rome in winter, just go out to school. Moreover, it is very necessary for Robert to adapt to the living environment of Rome since childhood. Because he will stay there when he grows up.

...

After talking about this, Julius II talked about the bishop of Medici again. Before, Marin had sent a letter to him to pay attention to this young priest from the Medici family, which made Julius II a little puzzled. This time, he simply asked:

"Why do you think this young man is optimistic? Do you think he will be the next pope?" Julius II was a little suspicious. Because this bishop named Giovanni di Lorenzo de Medici was too young. Born in 1475, he is only 33 years old now. Most of the popes were elected at the age of fifty or sixty. Can he live for 20 years? Julius II does not have that confidence.

"This is my intuition. Back then, I thought Angela was born with a noble birth, so she married her of an unknown origin without hesitation. Look, now I have made money..."

"You expected that I would be the pope?" Julius II widened his eyes. It was not that he didn't believe it, but that he believed it. Because Julius II himself was a very superstitious person. Every time he traveled, he had to ask the astrologer to divine good or bad luck first, and even the route of going out was referenced to the divination results.

"I didn't expect that I just felt that Angela was beautiful and noble. Then, I couldn't help but fall in love with her..." Marin was not willing to tell the truth? To be honest, in the eyes of her father-in-law, she was a speculative villain. However, she also had to reveal some strange things. Otherwise, her father-in-law would not believe in him.

So he said nonsense again:

"Look, my intuition is very accurate. Why did I ambush on that mountain road in the Battle of Fornovo? Or ambushed in the middle of the night because I had a foreshadowing that night's army would run away. So, I ambushed in advance and fought a miraculous victory that shocked Europe!"

"No wonder... I thought you were a coincidence. It turned out that you had a premonition... So, do you have a premonition that this Medici Bishop is the next pope?"

"It's just that there's an intuition, not necessarily accurate..."

"That's enough!" Julius II, who had always been superstitious, finally made up his mind...

So he called the servant and ordered:
