Chapter 334: Humiliated (Part 1)

Marin carrying the "treasure map", with permission from Ferdinand II, entered the living room of Ferdinand II's temporary residence and saw Ferdinand II sitting in a chair.

So, Marin hurried forward two steps forward, bending down to salute:

"Have seen your majesty!"

"Come on, Earl Marin!" Ferdinand II still gave Marlin a face.

The reason why Marin is called Earl, not Duke. It is because Marin still has the title of "Barbaric Earl" in Spain. Although Marin does not need to pay any tribute to Spain, but the position of monarch and minister is there, Marin must also obey.

Ferdinand II had a very good impression of Marin, why? Because Marin saved the life of his only son!

For Ferdinand II, several other daughters are optional, and the son Prince Juan is the most important. Originally, when Prince Juan died, he was suspected to have lung disease, but it was a deadly terrorist disease. But Ferdinand II grieved and hugged his son's body, crying as if the sky had fallen. But Queen Isabella I was not so excited, but watched from a distance, afraid to step forward, afraid of being infected by her son. It can be seen that Ferdinand II is a father who loves his son as desperately.

However, for his daughter, Ferdinand II completely ignored. After the death of Huanna ’s husband, handsome king Philip, in order to control the power of the Kingdom of Castile, Ferdinand II ruthlessly imprisoned his daughter Juana in the name of “crazy ca n’t drive power” to facilitate his control of Cas The power of the kingdom of Tilia. Therefore, Ferdinand II is a typical example of patriarchy. Now, Prince Juan is still alive and well, making Ferdinand II very happy with Marin.

"By the way, Earl Marin, what are you doing here in the negotiations between Spain and Portugal?" Ferdinand II was very curious about seeing Marin in Rome at this time.

"It was my majesty the Pope who called me. My mission is to introduce the details of Africa to your two majesty. Simply put, I am responsible for the explanation." Marin said frankly.

"The commentary? It's really interesting. Let a powerful prince with the title of Duke be the commentator? The pope's handwriting is really big ..." Ferdinand II laughed.

"Cough-that's because the relationship between the minister and the pope is very good ..." Marin deliberately revealed some of his relationship with the pope. Anyway, many people have speculated. From Marin lending troops to Julius II, escorting him back to Rome, and helping to attack Florence, we can see that the relationship between Marin and Julius II is indeed good.

"Oh? Really? Can you tell me more about why?" Ferdinand II was obviously very interested in this gossip news.

"That's the way. At the beginning, His Majesty Julius II had a bad relationship with the last Pope (in fact, an enemy, only considering the close relationship between Alexander VI and Spain, Marin deliberately said this.) Then, His Majesty Julius II hid from France. However, after Louis XII's enthronement, he made an alliance with His Majesty Alexander VI. His Majesty Julius II was afraid of being sent to His Majesty Alexander VI by the French, so he left France . It happened that he came to East Friesland and he met with his friend by chance ... "

"Why didn't you tell your majesty Alexander VI at the time? In that case, but a great thing." Ferdinand II asked curiously.

"In the beginning, Chen didn't know that he was Archbishop Rovere. It was just that he made friends with him by accident. After becoming friends, how could I betray him?" Marin said flatly.

"Well, that's right. But I have a question. That's why His Majesty Julius II was so coincident that after His Majesty Alexander VI died, he took your army back to Rome?" Ferdinand? II was very suspicious of this issue. He suspected that Julius II had fought against Alexander VI. However, he did not have evidence and did not dare to talk nonsense.

"That's the case. Hasn't the minister been enshrined as the Duke of Egypt by His Majesty Maximilian I? Then the minister planned to send troops to conquer Egypt."

"At the same time, His Majesty Julius II had planned to go to Egypt with the boat. Unexpectedly, when he encountered a merchant ship leaving Rome, he heard about the collapse of His Majesty Alexander VI. So, His Majesty Julius II made a decisive decision, hired Schwartz and his seven thousand troops, and escorted him back to Rome to participate in the election of the Pope ... "Such remarks Marin and Julius II had already negotiated. Naturally speaking, there is no pressure, and the compilation is very reasonable.

"Okay, you are such a lucky guy!" Ferdinand II no longer struggled with the matter. Because, tangled is useless. Alexander VI approached Spain again ~ www.wuxiaspot.com ~ but he was already dead. Crying for a dead person is not a stupid thing a king should do.

"Since you have a good relationship with His Majesty the Pope, then, Count Marin, can you give me some inside information?" Ferdinand II looked at Marin earnestly.

"Your Majesty, I am here for this matter!"

"Hurry up and talk!" Ferdinand II said impatiently.

"That's it. His Majesty the Pope was originally embarrassed. However, I took out my teacher, a map drawn by Einstein when he traveled through Africa ..."

"Your teacher still travels to Africa?" Ferdinand II was a little surprised.

"Of course, my teacher not only traveled through Africa, but also throughout Asia. The reason why Columbus was able to discover India earlier than Dagama was actually that I gave Columbus a rough map before he found it smoothly India. "Marin boasted proudly.

"Ah? So powerful?" Ferdinand II was surprised. You know, before this, very few Venetian merchants have been to India. But the Venetian spices were also transported by Arabs and Egyptians. Even the Venetians knew very little about India, let alone the African coast. Marin's teacher knew that route, and it looked really powerful. You know, before leaving, the Portuguese only knew the situation on the coast of West Africa north of the Cape of Good Hope, not the situation on the other side of East Africa.

"Of course, my teacher, but a big traveler, has traveled the entire Eurasian continent and the African continent!" Marin continued to play a proud expression.

"So, does your teacher know the situation of the great empire in the East?" Ferdinand II asked eagerly.

"Know!" Marin nodded without hesitation.

"Hurry up and talk!" Ferdinand II can't wait to say ...
