Chapter 147 Father-in-law is ready

After coming to the room where Felice lived, Marin's face was filled with smiles and hugged Felice who was already showing her embarrassment, but was pushed away by Felice:
"Go and go, don't hurt the baby!" The little wild cat Felis changed his previous wild image and seemed to have opened the halo of maternity.
"Hehe, it's okay, I'll hold you and don't do anything randomly!" After being pushed away, Malin didn't give up and came up with a saliva.
Having just said a few love words to Felice, Marin suddenly felt that the air around him quickly became cold...
He turned his head and saw the angry father-in-law, Archbishop Rovere...
"Boy, you are finally back!" Archbishop Rovere said with red eyes and gritting his teeth.
"Uh...ah...yes, my dear father-in-law, do you have any instructions?" Marin was also very guilty at this time. Because he married Angela but tricked Ferris into bed, he was indeed quite unkind. Although Archbishop Rovere has two daughters, he only has Marin as a de facto son-in-law. Now, his youngest daughter is still getting big by Marin. No wonder Archbishop Rovere is angry now...
Malin suddenly felt that his father-in-law was full of anger, and he might kill him in anger...
Sure enough, Archbishop Rovere picked up a broom, rushed over, and shouted:
"I beat you shameless thief to death and actually lied to my two daughters!" That posture seemed to have used the broom as a battle axe.
Marin knew that he was in the wrong, so of course he ran away directly. So the father-in-law and son-in-law began to play hide-and-seek in the harem of the Orich Palace.
After hearing the movement, the guards of the palace wanted to come over to help, but they were all driven away by Marin. Just kidding, his father-in-law wanted to be the pope's man. If his guards accidentally hurt him and make him unable to become the pope, he would be the one who cried at that time. Therefore, he could only run away with his head in his arms, dare not fight back, nor dare to ask for help.
When he saw Archbishop Rovere seemed to be running out of strength, Marin drooled his face, protected his face with both hands, and deliberately stopped and was caught by his father-in-law and got a broom a few times. But in fact, Archbishop Rovere had no strength at this time, and the broom was hit, and it didn't hurt at all.
Marin squatted in a corner where no one else noticed it, holding his head and protecting his face with both hands, and let Archbishop Rovere suck a few times. But Archbishop Rovere is already 60 years old. He exhausted his strength after chasing Marin just now, so where can he have the strength? So, the broom slapped Marin without any strength.
While trying hard to protect his "handsome" face, Marin complained in her heart:
"Hmph, if it weren't for your always-being Pope, I wouldn't have given you a chance to hit me. Alas...Who told you to always be a pope... Forget it, just take a few hits, no one can see this corner anyway..."
"You bastard, you have Angela, why do you still provoke Felice?" After a few hits, Archbishop Rovere had no strength, so he simply threw away the broom and started shouting at Marin.
"This... is handsome, there is no way..." After saying that, Marin also showed a simple and honest smile like Kahn.
Archbishop Rovere was so angry that he almost vomited a liter of old blood - he had never seen such shamelessness...
If Marin knew what Archbishop Rovere was thinking at this moment, he would definitely answer indifferently:
"What are you doing with shame? Reasoning is the most important thing..."
In fact, Marin did not like Fellis's "beauty". In terms of appearance, Fellis is much worse than Angela. However, Fellis is also the daughter of Archbishop Rovere. If Fellis marry someone else, it will be easy to share Angela's "fatherly love". Although Fellis is not favored by Angela, it is not guaranteed that Fellis will find a husband in the future, which is more favored than in front of his father-in-law. At that time, even if the father-in-law becomes the pope, he will not fully support himself. Because he has another son-in-law to take care of...
Malin didn't want his father-in-law to come up with another son-in-law to compete with him for his father-in-law's political resources, so he simply took over Felice, who was a medium-skinned person... Moreover, his brother-in-law steals his sister-in-law, which is quite exciting...
The most important thing is that once Felis becomes his lover, when his father-in-law ascended the position of pope, he will be his only son-in-law... Regardless of whether he is happy or not, he can only take care of himself at that time... Well, there are those people from the Rovere family...
"Is Angela not good? She is more beautiful and has a better personality than Felice. Why do you still provoke Felice? Ah? Felice is your mistress, and the children they give birth to in the future are all illegitimate children! illegitimate children without inheritance!" Archbishop Rovere yelled at Marin.
"It's nothing, my father-in-law, if Felice gave birth to a son, wouldn't you just appointed the Cardinal of Rome directly?" Marin replied indifferently.
As the pope, he had the privilege to promote his relatives directly to the Cardinal of Rome (also known as Cardinal). Caesar Porgia, the illegitimate son of Pope Alexander VI, was the Roman Cardinal (Cardinal), and was less than 20 years old. However, after Caesar assassinated his brother Giovanni, he returned to secular life and became the military commander of the Pope, and reached an agreement with Louis XII and won the title of Duke of Valentino.
Moreover, this was not the invention of Alexander VI, but the "unwritten rule" of the Holy See. The Popes usually came from the wealthy Italian families. After these popes ascended the throne, they often used their rights to embrace several family descendants or important allies to become cardinals directly. In this way, they can also ensure that their family will hold important rights in the Holy See for a long time and will last forever.
You should know that the Roman Cardinal is not a decoration, he has the power to vote for the Pope. As long as he becomes the Roman Cardinal, every time the Pope is elected, it is the time to get rich. Because if the Pope wants to be elected successfully, he must bribe these cardinals.
Even though Julius II became the Pope in history, the disadvantage of reform was to allow Pope Enyin to directly become the cardinals of Rome. Therefore, Marin said that it was completely easy to make Archbishop Rovere the Pope, and that Enyin and Ferris' illegitimate son become the cardinal.
Archbishop Rovere probably thought of this and said nothing, and agreed to Marin's statement. However, after a period of silence, Archbishop Rovere suddenly said:
"Rome is ready. I plan to go south after a while. Are your men ready?"
When Marin heard this, he immediately became excited. Of course, he understood what Archbishop Rovere said about "ready", that is, he had prepared manpower and could poison Alexander VI's father and son at any time. At that time, Archbishop Rovere can also go south to compete for the position of the pope. When Archbishop Rovere becomes the pope, isn't he the "pope's son-in-law"? Thinking of this, Marin was very happy...
Regarding the question from my father-in-law, Marin certainly knew what the other party wanted to ask:
"I've been ready. There are 5,000 veterans on Lampedusa Island, not far from Carthage (the ancient name of Tunisia) to the south of Sicily!"
"Are you sure to take down Rome?" Archbishop Rovere asked worriedly. You know, there were also mercenaries led by Caesar Porgia in the city of Rome.
"No problem, I can send people to lurk into Rome first. When the army arrives at the city of Rome, these people suddenly come out, seize the city gate, open the city gate, and put the large army in..."
"You seem to have used this trick in Oldenburg and Glückstadt, in Rome..." Archbishop Rovere meant to ask - will Rome have corresponding preparations?
"Impossible, these two siege battles took place in Northern Europe. The city of Rome is in Southern Europe, and the news is not spreading so quickly. What's more, you are ready now and can do it at any time. Before the news reaches Rome, we almost succeeded." Marin said confidently.
Now is not a later generation, and the news did not spread so quickly. When the news reached Italy, the veterans under Marin's command probably had already controlled the city of Rome.
You should know that there are only 2,000 defenders in the city of Rome. If the city gate is not opened, you can certainly rely on the solid city wall to fight against the 5,000 troops under Marin's command. But once the city gate is broken, facing the army of Marin with a numerical advantage, the two thousand defenders will have no chance of victory. Because Marin's army is all well-trained elite veterans. And Caesar Borgia's mercenaries are just a group of Italian mercenaries, and they are not the opponent of German mercenaries at all. What's more, Marin's veterans are even the trump card among German mercenaries...
However, in order to ensure the safety of his father-in-law and the safety of inheriting the position of the Pope, Marin thought about it and felt that the matter was very important, so he simply prepared to send Schwartz, the top general under his command. At that time, Schwartz will lead 2,000 elite soldiers, bring a number of heavy artillery, and participate in the attack on Rome. 7,000 veterans are enough to beat the group of useless people under Caesar Borgia...
