In Rome, Italy, the Cathedral of St. John, LaTran, Rome, and the living area behind the Mother Church of the World of Christ, Pope Alexander VI was chatting with his favorite son Caesar Porgia.
It was mid-August, and the weather in Rome was still very hot. Therefore, the father and son were wearing thinner silk clothes. Aside, some servants were still fanning the two bosses. At the same time, there were ice cubes stored last year around the room, which were cooling down.
As one of the richest families in Italy, the Borgia family naturally had money to spend their money. Although Alexander VI almost spent all the family's funds when he ran for Pope. However, Alexander VI became the Pope and made money wildly.
In order to achieve the purpose of making money, Alexander VI, the most shameless pope in history, openly auctioned the position of cardinal, and the higher the price. Moreover, the archbishop of the bishop state in the German region must also pay money to be recognized by the Holy See.
Although the appointment of some small bishop states in Germany needs to be supported by one of the three religious edicts of Archbishop of Cologne, Archbishop Mainz and Archbishop Trier, even if it is supported, if Alexander VI was not paid tens of thousands of gold coins to the Pope during his tens of thousands of gold coins, the Holy See would not be able to issue you a letter of appointment. Therefore, in Germany, the archbishops who took office during Alexander VI's reign were unlucky and had to accept Alexander VI's extortion.
This is pretty good. In the Holy See, the cardinals who did not belong to Alexander VI's party have been in trouble for eight lifetimes.
A few years ago, when Alexander VI first came to power, he was still a little restrained. In recent years, Alexander VI has firmly controlled the Pope and began to mess up.
He began to auction the position of bishop through his son Caesar Borgia. After receiving the money, what should I do if I find that the number of bishops is full? No problem, my Borgia family has a magical chronic poison - Canterrera. Say, you have a crush on the position of cardinal in that diocese? Ah, that one cannot do it, it is your own person. Well, this diocese... No problem, wait for me for a few days...
In a blink of an eye, Pope Alexander VI himself or Caesar Bogia would invite the bishop to dinner and drink. Then, a few days later, the cardinal of a diocese who had done well came to the news of his death due to poisoning. After that, Caesar Bogia would tell the person who had paid before, with a kind look on his face - Okay, you can take office...
Moreover, the unlucky bishop who was poisoned to death would have the property of his family by Caesar Bogia's subordinates. After all, Caesar Bogia is the highest military commander of the Pope. Who can beat him in the city of Rome?
Those cardinals are all single in name, and even if they have illegitimate children, they dare to jump out to fight for their father's inheritance? Whoever jumps out will be killed by Caesar Bogia. Even the original juniors of the Cardinal's family cannot compete with the robbers under Caesar Bogia unless they want to die.
The most exaggerated time was a cardinal named Ferrari. After he was poisoned, Caesar Borgia led his men to obtain a huge wealth of 500,000 Dukat from the residence of the dead Bishop Ferrari.
Another time, a cardinal named Michijeki was probably poisoned by Bogia and his son. What was too much was that Bishop Michijeki had just died and his body had not cooled down yet, and a large number of people under Caesar Bogia rushed into Bishop Michijeki's residence and plundered property worth 150,000 Dukat gold coins...
In fact, the Bogia and his son have created an extremely terrifying atmosphere in the city of Rome, which makes everyone in danger of the Cardinals, except for Alexander VI's lackeys. Even the lackeys of Alexander VI, if they have too much property, they will feel fear, fearing that they will be remembered by the Bogia and his son.
Now, in the city of Rome, the Pope's invitation to dinner has become one of the things that cardinals and nobles fear the most. Because, a week after dinner, you are likely to be poisoned and died... Then, a group of savage subordinates of Caesar Borgia will come to snatch property from your house...
...
It was noon, and the Popes and their sons chatted in the room, and they were surrounded by their most trusted loyal servants. Therefore, when it comes to speaking, the infamous Popes and their sons did not shy away:
"Caesar, have you any suitable goals recently?" Alexander VI took a sip of wine and asked his son.
"There is one, I recently fell in love with Cardinal Cornetto and planned to invite him to drink... This old guy owns a large area of ​​territory and has a strong financial resources. He is a fat sheep..." Inviting someone to drink is to kill the other party.
"That old thing Cornetto? You probably can't invite him. Let's go to their house as a guest." Alexander VI thought for a while and planned to take action himself. Cornetto is a very senior figure in the Roman Cardinal Party. Caesar Borgia's face is not enough, unless it is strong. If Alexander VI personally takes action, Bishop Cornetto must also give face no matter whether he wants or not.
Now, the Roman Cardinals no longer dared to eat the meal invited by the Pope and his son. In desperation, Bogia and his son planned to come to the door in person, and then let their servants wait for an opportunity to poison the other party’s wine...
The next morning, Alexander VI took his son Caesar Porgia to visit Cardinal Cornetto and went to the bishop's castle in the city of Rome.
Because it was too hot, after entering Bishop Cornetto's castle, Alexander VI quickly ordered the loyal servant he brought to find water:
"Paul, hurry up and find some water for us. This ghost weather is so hot!" Alexander VI ordered while wiping her sweat.
Next to him, a man in his early thirties and honest-looking man quickly responded and went to find water...

In the kitchen of the castle, Paul, who was honest in his face, found two large bowls of cold well water. But before taking the two large bowls of well water to the living room, while no one was paying attention, Paul quickly took out a pack of white, tasteless powder from his pocket, put it in two bowls of water, and stirred it.
After pouring this white powder into the water, it quickly dissolves in the water, without changing the color of the water, nor exudes any smell. Even if you use your mouth to taste it, there will be no peculiar smell. Of course, the insider will not be so damn...
After calming down his nervousness, this "loyal servant" named Paul regained his honest and expressionless face. He brought two large bowls of well water with added ingredients to the living room and handed them to Alexander VI and his son...
Alexander VI and his son did not doubt that he had him, so he drank it. Then, he waited for the appearance of his master Cardinal Cornetto...
Unfortunately, Cardinal Corneto was very cautious and refused to drink on the grounds that he was sick. When entertaining Alexander VI and his son, Bishop Corneto kept persuading Alexander VI and his son to eat and drink, but he didn't eat much, and only ate some bread...
Alexander VI and his son were stunned immediately - how could they poison the other party if they don't drink alcohol? Should they sprinkle the poison "Cantrera" on the other party? Isn't this just to the other party?
In desperation, Alexander Sixth and his son went back so depressedly...
