Julius II doesn't want to talk to Marin now. The extremely complicated problem in his eyes was discovered by Marin. He could brute forcefully solve it by saying "smashing money with money". However, Julius II could not refute it yet.

"Why didn't I support me like this?" Julius II thought depressedly.

In fact, when Julius II competed for the position of pope with Alexander VI, he was defeated by Alexander VI's "smashing money" move.

Back then, Alexander VI won the Pope's election by destroying all the wealth of the Borgia family. If he had more money, he would not have lost to that guy Alexander VI...

However, after all, Robert is his own grandson. When he became the pope, Julius II could only agree with it. It's just...

"Marlin, when Robert grows up, he can't run for the Pope immediately. He has to wait until he is fifty or sixty. Whether you are alive or not is a question. I don't think Caesar would be willing to spend so much money to support Robert in the run for the Pope..."

"Juliano, who told you that the Pope must be fifty or sixty?" Marin asked back.

"Only a bishop in his fifties and sixties has enough reputation and appeal!"

"These can be spent on money. In my opinion, 30 years old is enough to run for the Pope!" Marin waved his hand and said.

Julius II thought about it and it was true. The reputation and appeal he mentioned could indeed be obtained by spending money. As long as one hundred cardinals were settled, those were really not a big deal. After all, the pope election has entered the age of money.

What Julius II didn't know was that the next Pope Leo X after his death was the Pope Leo X who became the Pope at the age of 38. Leo X came from the Medici family with strong financial resources. It was precisely because of the efforts of the two popes from the Medici family, Leo X and Clement VII, that the Republic of Florence, which had been annexed by the Pope, later became independent from the Pope and established the Grand Duchy of Tuscany.

Marin made up his mind and decided to support Leo X in succession after Julius II's death. Why? Because without Leo X's large-scale sales of indulgences, Martin Luther would not initiate the Reformation. Without the religious war, how could Marin take advantage of the troubled waters?

Relying on Julius II to make indulgences? Sorry, Julius II is a smart man who pays great attention to fame, and is not as shameless as Leo X. Therefore, it is better to support Leo X and let him provoke conflicts and lead to the great god Martin Luther.

At that time, you can stand on the side of the Catholic Church in the name of "Addict", and then defeat Martin Luther's protector, Frederick III, the Elector of Saxony. You can even seek to annex the territory of the Electorate of Saxony and the title of the Elector. With this title, you may not be unable to run for Emperor Shenluo when Maximilian I dies. You must know that Charles V campaigned for the Pope of the Holy Roman Empire, but only spent 850,000 Gulden gold coins. Is it enough to pay 1 million gold coins for yourself? If not enough, add 1.5 million gold coins...

As for Charles V, the grandson of Maximilian I? Because Marin saved Prince Juan of Spain, Charles V must have no chance to inherit the Spanish throne and can only inherit the territory of Austria and Burgundy. At that time, he may not even be able to give out 850,000 gold coins. The Fuger family, who had previously lent money to Charles V in history, may not be willing to lend a large amount of money to help him run for the throne when he saw that Charles V did not become the king of Spain. At that time, he may lose to the more wealthy opponent, the more powerful opponent, François I. Instead of letting Shenluo's throne fall to the magic demon, it would be better to take it on his own... At worst, I would give Charles V some other compensation at that time...

...

Just as Marin YY was running for the future of Emperor Shenluo after the death of the benefactor Maximilian I, his shoulder was slapped by Julius II:

"What are you thinking, Marin?"

"I want to be the emperor!" Marin blurted out without thinking.

"What? Emperor? Do you want to betray Maximilian I?" Julius II said in surprise.

"Who said I was going to betray him? I just wanted to wait for him to die and participate in the throne. No one stipulates that the Habsburg family can only inherit the throne of the Shenluo!"

"That's true..." Julius II nodded. Moreover, he only knew that Marin could afford to run for the throne.

"What a pity, when Maximilian I passed away, I might have passed away before him. Otherwise, I could still crown you ascend the throne." Julius II said regretfully.

Marin said it was true that Julius II died in 1503, while Maximilian I died in 1519.

"It's nothing. At worst, you can ask the next pope to help you get the crown. As long as you can afford the money, your next one will be happy."

Unexpectedly, this sentence annoyed Julius II:

"You little bastard, are you just hoping that I will die soon? Maybe I will live longer than Maximilian I!" Julius II said angrily.

"You said this first..." Marin said innocently.

"Ah--The Rovere family has declined, because I have killed several Mesozoic figures who are the mainstay by the Bogia family. After I die, I am afraid I will decline. I don't know who my successor will be..."

"I think it's probably Bishop Giovanni (Leo X) of the Medici family..." Marin thought for a while and decided to reveal the history he knew to Julius II.

"Govanni of the Medici family? What are you kidding? He is only 29 years old, only two years older than you!"

"Now you are 29 years old. When you go to heaven, he will be 40 years old, right?" Marin said that Julius II's life span so that the old man would be happier.

"That's true...but why do you look down on him so much?" Julius II asked strangely.

"Because the Medici family is rich..."

Julius II was silent. He thought about it and it was really true. Although other cardinals were qualified to run for the Pope, they could not compete with the Medici family for financial gain. The few two bishops who could compete with him were no younger than him and probably died earlier than him. However, the other Italian families who could challenge the Medici family for financial gain did not have a cardinal of the right age. Even if there were, they were too young. After more than ten years, if they died, the Holy See would never choose a baby as the Pope. The least they were, they would have to be a middle-aged cardinal in their thirties or forties... In this way, the possibility of Giovanni of the Medici family taking over after his death was really great...

"What do I need to do?"

"Help me to contact the Medici family, and I will give them some benefits in trade. At the right time, if Giovanni is in trouble or asks you for help, you will hint him and ask me for help and make it effective. Then, try to make him owe me favors. When he becomes the pope, I will choose the King of Germany and ask him to help crown the emperor, and there will be no problem. At the same time, you can also ask him to help take care of Robert..."
