Chapter 1545: "night terrors"

  Chapter 1545 "Night Terrors"

   When King Louis XIV became the throne in 1643, he was only 5 years old, and the queen mother was the regent queen. Her favorite cardinal Mazarin is prime minister, and he is the actual ruler of France.

  At that time, the 30-year war was about to end. In order to meet the needs of the war, Mazarin advanced payments to financiers and allowed them to collect taxes and collect the country’s income in exchange for them. These tax packagers made huge profits from it, which aroused the envy of the nobles and the anger of the people.

  When the provinces have been raided and the people are exhausted, the government intends to squeeze the middle class and judges of the high court in Paris. In April 1648, the court issued an edict to suspend the payment of the salaries of the judges of the high courts for four years, thereby intensifying the conflict.

  In May 1648, the Paris High Court, in conjunction with local courts, put forward 27 recommendations in the name of punishing government malpractices, declaring that the king’s inspectors sent to various places were unconstitutional and demanded strict fiscal reforms to protect personal freedom. In August 1648, inspired by the victory of the Prince of Condé at the Battle of Lens, the Queen Mother and Mazarin ordered the arrest of P. Brussels, who led the movement, and this atrocities immediately aroused the anger of the people.

  So the slingshot movement broke out.

The young Louis XIV and his mother experienced everything personally, so he did not like Paris so much, nor did he like Parisians so much. After he took office, he began to build the Palace of Versailles, intending to move the administrative center from Paris to Versailles, away from this A place that poses a threat to both of them.

  On January 5, 1649, Paris is celebrating the Three Dynasties Festival. In this cold winter, the streets are empty, but every house is decorated with lights and festivities, and there are cheerful banquets everywhere.

The happy festival lasted until late at night. The Queen Mother ate her piece of galette. Eating galette is the tradition of the Three Kingdoms Festival. Anyone who finds the little porcelain representing the "king" and "queen" in the multi-layered cake is fine. Choose your own king and queen, and put a crown on yourself. So everyone put on a paper crown for the Queen Mother, and all the guests felt happy and enjoyed it.

At midnight, the queen returned to her room as usual. After she was freshened, she was ready to fall asleep... Halfway through her sleep, she suddenly sat up and woke up her two sons. Then the queen mother passed through the back door with Louis and Philip. Stairs, through the hidden door, came to the garden of the palace, where a team of chariots waited for them, and three four-wheeled carriages left Paris with the future monarch, his brother and his mother.

The news of this emergency evacuation soon spread throughout the palace and spread wildly. Then everyone received an instruction to follow the queen to leave Paris, so a pair of long convoys with royal emblems passed through that night. The wilderness, heading out of Paris.

  In the carriage, there were men who hurriedly put on clothes, women with disheveled hair, and sleepy children. After a period of exhausting bumps, they came to Saint-Germain-en-Laye. The castle was not ready to welcome the nobles in the palace. All the rooms were empty and cold. Only the king, his brother, mother, and Cardinal Mazarin could sleep on the simple bed in the castle, while the others could only sleep in the simple bed. Sleeping on a straw mat on the ground.

  Early the next morning, a group of people who were at a loss and tantrum were crowded in the corridors of the castle. Some of the palace ministers who came here were no longer dressed, unkempt, and uneasy. The news that the queen mother escaped with her son caused a shock in Paris. Although the king was still young, he was still the father of a country and the protector of the entire country.

  Although not knowing what happened, the Supreme Court decided to stop the endless debate and sent a team of representatives to Saint-Germain-en-Laye to request the regent to bring the king back to Paris. But when these representatives came to the castle, the queen mother refused to meet her expressionlessly, and she refused to do even the superficial effort.

During this period, the Paris City Hall became a "playground". There were prosperous estates and slinger aristocrats who held dances and sang and danced to the sound of violins. There were also angry Parisians who used cannons at the stone walls of the Bastille and fired cannonballs. , Men and women came from all over and drank the wine that the team had in the prison cellar upright. The queen mother lived in Saint-Germain-en-Laye for seven months, and finally returned to the palace. Two years later, the leader of the slingers, fearing that the queen mother would leave Paris with her two sons, ordered all the gates of Paris to be closed at night. The uncle Duke of Orleans sent a team of Swiss mercenaries to assure everyone that the young king was indeed still in Paris.

  As an adult, Louis XIV demolished all the walls of Paris. In addition to political factors, he was still venting his anger. The walls were demolished. Even if the gates were closed, he could not be shut down.

Georgina suddenly ran away that night and made a noise. Many of the guests attending the Sèvres ball were British. They found that Georgina had disappeared. Reminiscent of the recent diplomatic turmoil, they all returned to the barracks that were rebuilt. Go to town.

   Then there was Lyon Coul, the chief executive of Paris. He thought that Napoleon was finally going to do something against the old nobles like them in order to appease the Wuyue people.

The residents of the town of Saint-Germain were also anxious. They thought that placing them in the town was a trap. Napoleon’s purpose was to kill them all in order to seize their property.

  In the end Napoleon had to announce that Georgian was "crazy".

Everyone knows that Mrs. g’s disturbance is not only in tabloid newspapers, but even some official newspapers are also discussing this “emergency”. Everyone talked about this incident with a happy mood. Which woman encountered this? Don't you have a temper?

  Everyone thought that Giorgioanna went to a royal villa to play, but she didn't expect that she was in Paris, and she was still living in the villa of Miss Luo, a lesbian.

  Later, Miss Desert Luo felt that the incident was a big deal. She was afraid of being implicated, so she showed Georgiana a newspaper that published the incident.

   Then she came back.

  Is Bonaparte angry about this? He didn't. This is different from the last time he learned that she was wearing a menswear private meeting with Miss Luo in Lyon, when he slashed her clothes with a sword and threatened to shoot her.

It’s just that he told her that in the future, in addition to Mamluk, there will be a team of "guide soldiers" that will "protect" her. This "guide soldier" has been seen in Rambouillet Giorgioanna. Its commander is Bessier. The predecessor of the Guards Cavalry.

  He might think that she “ran away from home” only because of her temper. If Georgiana was just a teenager, she might be bluffed by him.

   "Isn't Louis XIV's mother Anna of Austria?" she said coldly.

   "You just said that Louis XIV's mother is Medici." Bonaparte smiled and said, "Why are you remembering?"

  Georgiana began to recall, which of the King Louis’ mothers belonged to the Medici family.

   "You like the Renaissance, don't you?" Bonaparte asked.

   "Yes." She said bluntly, "But I never thought about owning Venice."

   "I want Milan." He also said bluntly, "No matter how you protest this time, I will not give up Valais."

  She curled her lips, "Where is my gift?"

"You like to ask a question, what made the soldiers pry the levers to pry up the cannons and tree stumps stuck in the snow." He turned to say, "I can answer your question, but you have to promise me one condition. "

   "What conditions?"

   "You can hit me, scold me, but don't be like this again..." Before he could finish his words, Georgiana patted his forehead again.

  "Have you ever wondered what will happen to Josephine when she comes back?" She asked coldly.

  He shook his head, "Her parents have gone back."

   "Are you free now?" She said with a smirk.

  He sighed, "I think this will become a stain in my life."

   "At least you are not sick." She continued smiling and said, "Congratulations."

  He couldn't help but roll his eyes.

  She was so upset that she punched him again.

  Wait until she was exhausted, she cried on his body again.

  Humiliation? regret? No, she just feels uncomfortable, she always meets stubborn men.

  A woman who loves a dead woman, even if he risks being an enemy of the whole of Europe, he must have a desolate and barren land except snow-capped mountains and glaciers.

  She remembers that in the 21st century there are still cable cars leading to the tops of those snow-capped mountains, so she doesn’t understand that for a mountain, does it make sense for countries that have signed peace treaties with France to "fine-tune" the peace treaty?

"Although we didn't need to endure the hunger as we did when we crossed the Alps for the first time, it was extremely difficult to climb St. Bernard Mountain." Napoleon whispered in her ear, "Dig in the tree body mountain." A hole, the idea of ​​making a sled to transport cannons was Marmont's idea. When we reached a very difficult place, we hit the snare drum, which is the sound of charging drums during the battle. We used this method to get through the cliffs and mountains. ."

  He held Georgiana "Do you understand?"

   "Just like the cavalry, this is a man's romance." She sobbed.

   "No, this is not a romance." Napoleon considered for a moment and said, "That mountain is a testament to our immortality."

  She looked at him in confusion.

  The Alps are young mountains on the earth. Perhaps after earthquakes and other natural causes, they will change the landscape in tens of thousands of years, provided that humans still existed at that time.

  That mountain is not immortal, and human beings are not immortal. After hundreds of years of history, it will be forgotten by people. What does he mean by immortality?

  He looked at her and smiled.

   "Let's go and see your gift."

  She was held by him and left.

  In the lobby on the first floor, there is a lamb tied with a big bow.

  This sheep is exactly the same as Sean the sheep in the British animation. Both have a white body and a black face. They look very cute.

  This is a blacknose sheep, a specialty of Valais. Georgiana saw it at the market, but she suddenly thought it was terrible.

   "Do you like it?" Leon asked.

  Georgiana shook her head and hugged his arm tightly.

   "Where did your courage go when you dealt with me?"

  Sean is the only thin man in the fat sheep. Perhaps because of this, it was not selected by the farmer to be slaughtered.

  She can even think in the dark for children’s animations like that. What’s wrong with her thinking?

"Look at me." Leon held her face and asked her to look into her eyes. "In the Battle of Montenot, I told the children that they had fought for the barren mountains, but the rocks It is of no benefit to the motherland, but their glory is left there. Do you remember that I told you what the soldiers demanded?"

  She nodded "Glory, decency and reward."

   "Good girl." He said with relief, "If world peace has been achieved for my personal reputation, I should not ask political affairs at this time, but I must do this."

   "The whole of Europe can't stop you." She whispered.

   "You almost did it." He smiled and said, "The bank you mentioned, I want to build it, and I have a will in the future."

  She was not so stupid as to say "you won't die".

  "Do you think the Swiss would be happy if they lost the Valais and got Jinshan?"

  Georgiana shook her head.

  "Don't mix up this question." He said softly, "You are still a woman after all."
