    "Resurrected!"

     They inform each other and confirm the news of the resurrection of the Son, greet them loudly, flirt and tease, and pass through one dark and damp street in chasing and shoving. These streets are meandering and criss-crossing, but there is no rule regardless of the order or length. At the same time, the degree of chaos and complexity is not inferior to that of a goat that has been overturned. The layout of the city of Florence in 1478 is very interesting. It is neither a wealth nor a status. It is a family name and blood relationship - a family member with the same surname, along with relatives, priests, businessmen, dependent mercenaries, servants and artisans living along a street or living around a square so that they can In the shortest time, gather the most power and the most support.

    Square boulder grows like a climbing plant next to a stretch of leaves - a thick wall that is isolated from hatred and hatred, and a guarded swallowtail Passports and battlements, barriers, heavy iron bars, awl-like cage towers, large and pointed, two-color arches with shields and crests greedily compete for every inch of space and light. Their thick shadows are intimately stacked together, so that between the two blocks, there is always only one line in the sky, and the streets must be dark and dull.

    The ruling committee of Florence has issued relevant decrees more than once, trying to contain or correct this bad trend, but always because of all kinds of reasons. The strong family is always connected to a specific block, and it is never easy to move. For example, Albizzi Street belongs to the Albizzi family, and the residential threshold in the Piruzi Square is mostly engraved with Piruzi. The national emblem, while the base of the Baldi family is on the Baldi Street on the south bank of the Arno River... and the San Lorenzo district of the Medici family.

    The Medici family’s residence is located in the eastern part of the ruling square. The brown fort-style buildings are rough, old and square, like the tower of Babel’s forgotten in the world. The cornerstone, except for the arched windows of each layer, the only decoration is the triangular relief decoration at the position of the main entrance threshold - the two giant lions on both sides guard the symbol of Florence, and the stamens in the coat of arms are prominent. Lily) - not the ridiculous lilies and small ball-like crests of the Medici family, because it is also the office of the Florentine ruling group, the then Medici family's parents, Cosimo I, on this issue Made a fairly generous concession.

    His contribution has been quite rewarding in the next half century, the logo of lilies and small balls day after day, from the least The place where people pay attention to spread out and proliferate... Today, it and the power and philosophy of the Medici family it represents cover almost the whole of Florence.

    Juliano de Medici, the second son of the Medici family, covered with a scarlet sleeved cloak, slowly Step out of the Palazzo Vecchio and follow the shadow of the zigzag tower towards a straight and spacious (compared to other roads) passage. Like the second son of all the family, he is taller, handsome, strong and bohemian than his brother Lorenzo... The last point seems to make him more attractive.

    The people of Florence give way to him, pay tribute to him, or shout "Medic" name to support, and the second son of Medici With a more humble and welcoming attitude - no matter what he salutes, he is a rude butcher, a notary public, a prominent member of the chamber of commerce, or a sculptor who wears a tight-skinned leather pants, or a hat and hair.

After all, two years ago, it was his lover, "Venus in the world", the day of the death of Mrs.

    Their inference is not entirely wrong, but it is also far from the truth. Most of the reasons for this young man to be so embarrassed are from the flesh, not the emotions, and this must be attributed to Giuliano and his brother's father, the "gout" Piero de Medici.

    Giuliano belongs to the last kind. He developed symptoms before the dawn of the Good Friday (the first two days of the resurrection Sunday). A burst of pain has already afflicted him for a whole night and two days, even during the slight Activity or touch may also make him faintAt the worst of times, the red and swollen knees and calves can't even bear the weight of even a silk sheet.

    His brother Lorenzo de Medici also has the same dysentery - their father "gout" Piero de Medi Odd to the two sons, the Medici-style high nose, the raised jaw, the narrow eyes and the tough facial contours, also wrote the eccentric disease that has entangled in his life into the list of inheritance; just like him When you give honor, status, power, and money to the next generation of Medici, you will inevitably invest in hostility, envy, resentment, and hatred. Although this is not his intention, it is always the case, who can Everything goes smoothly and is satisfactory?

    The second son of Medici breathed slightly, licking his teeth and waiting for another wave of pain in the past - he narrowed his eyes and looked up, St. Ma The red octagonal vault of the Cathedral of Leah del Flore is in sight. In order to expand the plaza, the ruling party made a resolution. The power of the tyrants who originally lived in this area was crowned with various charges in the blink of an eye. Their property Collected, houses and towers were forcibly demolished, and everyone, including vulnerable women, newborn babies and dying old people, were forced to humiliate in a few days to migrate to remote areas and even be exiled - the love of the Florentine people forever It’s so extreme, not at the end of the scale, at the end of the scale – they never care about raising a family, someone is holding it up high; never minding that he falls heavily and tramples into mud

    "Christ is resurrected!"

    "Resurrection really!" This announcement is obviously rushing With his own, Giuliano had to suppress the intolerance and temper caused by the pain, and replied with a glimpse of the canon.At the same time, he turned around as little as possible, preparing to kiss the nasty informant three times in accordance with the rules of Easter.

    The glittering Francisco de Pach emerges from the shadow of the gallery, the eldest son of the Pach family, Giuliano In-laws, Bernardo Bendini is like a heel that follows his upperThe two young people are wearing a gorgeous dress today, especially the young Pach, who is open with a silver-colored embossed brocade jacket embroidered with a gold-colored emblem, revealing a creamy white velvet tight-fitting blouse with a pearl and a neck hanging. The gemstone necklace, the pleated wide sleeves can be stuffed into another little Pach - fortunately today his shoulders, sleeves, and tights are not as exaggerated as the past - - Juliano remembers that when he saw the young Pach two days ago, the pleads (the shackles of the shackles) between his legs were embroidered with delicate patterns, set with gems and pearls. The filler makes it look like a baby head with a hat, not to mention the rest of the body.

    Pach extended his arm to Giuliano, like hugging a real friend or brother, and hugged him actively.

The multi-Pace (blocking the sash of the ankle) is embroidered with delicate patterns, set with gems and pearls, and the "sufficient" filling inside makes it look like a baby head with a hat, not to mention the body. Other parts of

    Pach extended his arm to Giuliano, like hugging a real friend or brother, and hugged him actively.

    Even if Medici and Pach had been in the face of the ruling regiment and priests for ten times, they confessed their sins in a sincere and incomparable manner, and tried to express mutual forgiveness and friendship - even his sister Bianca was treated as a reconciliation. The promised collateral is married to the Paige family, but as a dual enemy of politics and business for nearly a hundred years, the people of the Paige family have never been able to obtain even a reputational seat in the ruling group under the control of the Medici family. This made them unable to gain a little benefit in any resolution in Florence, and may even be sacrificed; in return, the Pudge family did everything to disturb the intervention of Medici, and more recently from the Medici family. Taken away the financial management of Pope Sykes IV

    Maybe should remind Lorenzo to see what the Paige family has done recently, which is to catch the idiot in the 100-member group. The handle still bought the agent of a Medici family.

    Pace’s gems and gold licked the second rib of Medici’s ribs, and Juliano suddenly remembered that he did not follow the usual routine in the coat today. Under the sleeveless chain armor, and did not carry any weapons, Lorenzo has personally reminded him of this problem more than once, but the insomnia and lack of spirit caused by gout and alcoholism from time to time always make him remember everything. may notGiuliano hesitated and looked at the Medici Mansion, which had disappeared at the end of the street, and smashed the Giotto Bell Tower, which is close to it, next to the Cathedral of the Resurrection Sunday Mass, where he can be clear Seeing the crowds of monks crowding the cross and the icon of the Virgin Mary into the side entrance of the church
