Marin took a group of followers and rode his horse and quickly galloped outside the south gate of Wolms, and saw the carriage of Pope Julius II.
Julius II went north to Walms this time, and he was actually very angry. Marin was his son-in-law, and this shameless boy occupied all his two daughters, which was shameless. Therefore, when he saw that his only son-in-law was in trouble, he had to help.
After all, Marin's son Caesar was also flowing with his own blood. Marin's future was lost, and his grandson Caesar was inherited by his grandson Caesar. Therefore, no matter what, he had to help Marin withstand this pressure so that he could leave enough territory for little Caesar to inherit.
Originally, Marin planned to ask Julius II to send a cardinal to help the platform. But Julius II knew in his heart that this might not be enough...
After all, although the religious princes of Germany were not as good as the cardinals in Rome in terms of religious status, they were also princes in charge. The cardinal status was higher than theirs, but they were not as affordable as them.
When facing cardinals, those religious princes will definitely give face in general. However, it is related to major interests, those princes may offend the cardinal and insist on their own opinions. If the Pope asks about it later, they can completely shirk their opinions and say that they think it is the cardinal's meaning.
As the Pope, if they come in person, these religious princes must consider it. If they refute the Pope's face directly, there may be secular monarchs who dare to do it, but they will never include those religious princes. If the Pope gets angry, they can expel their religious lords.
The secular princes have no church books and are still princes. At most, they are disgraced and no one is willing to surrender to you, and then they become lonely. But the prerequisite for religious princes to become princes is that he must be a priest... If the church books are expelled by the pope, they will lose all power in an instant and become nothing...
Therefore, Julius II decided to rush to Walms in person to participate in this negotiation in order to deter those religious princes and prevent them from taking risks and choose to join the coalition forces that beat Marin. Unless they want to taste the taste of extortion...
...
Sure enough, after seeing the Pope's carriage arrive, all the religious princes' faces changed drastically...
Before, they had received a papal order and knew that the Pope and Marin had a good relationship. However, they never thought that for this negotiation with Marin, the Pope actually rushed over to stand up for Marin. This cannot be said that the relationship is good, only hard-core allies will receive this treatment...
Before, religious princes had other ideas and wanted to take this opportunity to suppress Marin, the newly rising nobleman. As for the Pope's decree, what's wrong with the Pope's helper? There are many people with good relationships with the Pope. Besides, this time, many German princes jointly attack Marin, and they were just taking advantage of the troubled waters. The Pope wanted to pursue the matter, but the law did not blame the public...
However, they never expected that His Majesty the Pope not only issued an order for Marin's affairs, but also went barely to Walms in person. His Majesty the Pope sat aside. Which priest had the courage to touch the friends of the Holy See? Even if he was taking advantage of the troubled waters, he would not dare to do anything. Because, the Pope was watching himself...
Although he was not convinced, many religious princes knew that this time they had to put away any thoughts of attacking Marin. Otherwise, the Pope's revenge would come to his head. The reason is very simple - the Pope has personally helped Marin stand up, and you are still trying to be Marin in front of the Pope. Aren't you slapping the Pope in the face? Who would you do if you don't?
Archbishop Jacob of Mainz sighed in his heart, his heart was very complicated...
When the Pope came in person, he no longer had to sway and could make a choice. Before, he was a little unbelievable about Marin's promise to support one of his sons and nephews. But now, he completely believed it. His Majesty the Pope himself came to Walms to stand up for Marin. What is it to help promote a junior?
So he stood on Marin's side without hesitation. Archbishop Jacob of Marin's army was put into the city. As for the reason? Is it enough to protect His Majesty the Pope's safety?
In this way, in the resentful eyes of many princes, Marin led an army of 10,000 with great might and followed the convoy of Pope Julius II to enter the city of Wolms. Moreover, he occupied the nest and moved directly into Wolms Cathedral.
When the Pope came in person, Archbishop of Mainz Jacob gave up Wolms Cathedral to receive the Pope. What made the princes gritted their teeth was that Archbishop Jacob moved out, but Marin, a kid, had made his reputation for protecting the Pope's safety and moved into Wolms Cathedral. At the same time, he also showed them his intimate relationship with the Pope.
Of course, Julius II did not come here on the grounds of supporting Marin. It would be too ugly to say that. Julius II came to Walms in the name of "inspecting the academic affairs of the German region". The reason for participating in this negotiation was that it was "a coincidence"...
But the princes here are not stupid. Before, Julius II issued an edict to the religious princes to protect Marin. Now, the negotiations are about to begin, and you suddenly appear. If you don’t support Marin, what else would you do?
The secular princes who had not received the Pope's decree before may not be clear, but the religious princes must be well aware of the Pope's intention.
Moreover, Marin refused to enter the city after Emperor Maximilian I arrived in Wolms, and everyone was still confused. Now, many people suddenly realized that this guy was waiting for His Majesty the Pope...
But, this guy has a great relationship with His Majesty the Pope? Can he conclude in advance that His Majesty the Pope will come to support him?
This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! In fact, Marin was also surprised. He just asked Julius II to send a cardinal to the formation, and he never thought Julius II would come in person. This is not a pressure array? It is clearly a pressure of Mount Tai...
However, this is also good. At least, with the Pope himself in charge, the religious princes would not have the courage to respond to Frederick III.
So Marin's arrogance became arrogant and in his first meeting, he was arrogant. Moreover, in front of hundreds of princes, he pointed to the nose of Frederick III, the Elector of Saxony who wanted to speak, and cursed:
"Shut up! What qualifications do you have to set conditions before me? You are the loser and accept everyone's mediation. Now, it is not the time for you to make conditions! You listen to me honestly. If you don't accept mediation, then we will continue to fight! Anyway, there are more than 20 cities in the Saxony Electorate, and they are all very rich..."
Frederick III was so angry that his face was flushed by Marin's insults. On the side, most of the princes looked a little unfair...
Although Frederick III, the Elector of Saxony, was defeated, he was still one of the most noble Electors of the Holy Roman Empire, and his status was second only to His Majesty the Emperor.
However, now he was scolded by Malin as if he was scolding a child, which was a loss of face. Therefore, many princes were worried and frowned...
If it were another great nobleman who said this, there would not have been such a reaction. But who was Marin? He was a wandering knight who was not even a nobleman 11 years ago. In the eyes of most nobles, he was a nouveau riche in the aristocratic circle.
