Harry Potter’s Morning Light

   Chapter 2267 The Winter Banquet of the Sea God (9)

Sanssouci Palace is located in Potsdam, the capital of Brandenburg, the southwestern suburb of Berlin. It is derived from the French sans-souci, which means carefree. It was based on the sketches of King Frederick II of Prussia from 1745 to 1747. Design a Rococo Summer Palace.

Frederick the Great often played the flute in this palace. In fact, in addition to his political and military talents, Frederick William II was also a composer. He wrote 4 symphonies and more than 100 pieces for flute. However, he But he had an unfortunate childhood. His father, Frederick I, wanted him to be more like a German king, rather than playing the flute and reading French books to pass the time, and the father and son had a sharp conflict, and he even tried to escape the tyranny, immersed in war and soldiers Disciplined father.

   Frederick I died in 1740 and Frederick II succeeded to the throne, as if he was finally free, he could not only play the flute anytime and anywhere, but also build a Rococo summer palace where he could play carefree.

  Goethe once said that as long as a person claims to be free, he will feel limited at the same time, and if he dares to declare that he is limited, he will feel free.

  Georgiana wondered if those who rap in the living room felt that kind of limitation. What Goethe meant by this sentence was that a person's freedom is not absolute, and must always be restricted by certain rules.

At the entrance of Sanssouci Palace, there is a windmill that is not in harmony with the surrounding environment. This dark windmill turns "squeaky and squeaky" every day, making Frederick II playing the flute in Sanssouci Palace noisy. No peace. When the palace was built earlier, the miller was asked to demolish it, but the little miller did not agree. After the palace was built, not only Frederick the Great found the noise annoying, but also the nobles who came to Sanssouci Palace also found it annoying. , So Frederick II ordered the windmill to be demolished. Unexpectedly, the little miller went to court to sue the emperor.

This windmill existed in 1736, earlier than Sanssouci Palace, and the gate of the palace was built very close to his house, blocking the wind from the windmill. Frederick II dismantled the windmill without his consent. As a result, the Berlin court at that time directly ordered Frederick II to compensate the loss of the small mill, and to repair the windmill as it was. Frederick II also did the same. A symbol of the legal system, similar to the function of a monument.

Georgiana also wanted to deal with it by legal means, but once this broken matter went to court, it would turn from a scandal into a "monumental", or the "Egret Feather Incident". The Duke of Lozan didn't mean that to Queen Mary. He gave the feather to the queen, but everyone around said they were having an affair, and then he became the queen's enemy.

   Usually men are more generous, and feathers are not as valuable as windmills, but this has nothing to do with tolerance and property damage. There will always be coaxing and matchmaking, it may be a friend, it may be the same time, a relative, it's just a matter of two people becoming it, if it doesn't work, it will inevitably be embarrassing to meet in the future, and that kind of mood will not be beautiful in an instant.

  If the Duke of Lozan really became the queen's lover, the queen gave birth to his illegitimate son and was regarded as the prince of France. Did he want to go to the guillotine or experience another way of dying?

  The marriage of Marie Antoinette and Louis XVI was a political marriage. At that time, France and Austria had to join forces to deal with Prussia, and this "diplomatic revolution" was born. Compared with France, the "monster" that Maria Teresa is more eager to deal with is Prussia, and Maria Teresa also hopes to put a diplomatic noose on Prussia through this marriage, ready to recover Silesia.

  Silesia originally belonged to Poland. It was divided up when Russia, Prussia, and Austria first carved up Poland and belonged to Austria. At that time, Silesia was still a textile city, and it has become a big steel city under the management of the Prussians.

If Metternich was out of his mind at the time and felt that he agreed to a certain condition in exchange for France's support for Austria to retake Silesia, then Austria and Prussia would conflict, so that Bonaparte could send troops just like Ney was sent to deal with the civil strife in Switzerland. Interfering with the Silesia issue, or even the Polish issue, what could she do if she didn't hurry up in such a situation?

  Curiosity will kill the cat. The cat has nine lives, but she only has one. Although her approach is a bit savage, she doesn't care.

Toothbrushes and boyfriends can't be shared. When you grab a boyfriend with a Hufflepuff girl, you will encounter such a scene. The two girls tug at their hair and tie into a ball. If you don't want to make trouble like that, don't grab the Hufflepuff girl's boyfriend. Don't Laitlin and Gryffindor fight by pulling their hair the same way?

  Oh~ The wise Ravenclaw from the tranquil lake is always calm.

  Why does Luna have the nickname "Mad Girl"?

   She had the same feeling for Luna, it was Luna's idea to let Harry and the others ride the Thestrals to London, which led to Sirius' death. Luna's mother died very early, and she and her father depended on each other for life. In order to save Luna, Xenophilius agreed to the conditions of the Death Eaters and almost got Harry caught. Later, Luna became a naturalist after graduating. home, dating Newt's grandson, often away from home, alone, so he joins a very dangerous organization...

   "Ma'am." Carolan said behind her, "I have something to tell you."

"What's up?"

   "It's the minister of the Dutch Ministry of Magic, and he wants to see you," Carolan said, "about the Belgian-Dutch border issue and the schooling of students."

   "What's wrong with that?" asked Georgiana.

   "Will Dutch students go to Hogwarts or Beauxbatons in the future?" Carolan asked.

   "Where did they go before?" asked Georgiana.

   "I think it would be better for him to tell you that your schedule is full these days. Do you have time tonight?" Carolan asked.

   "Of course," said Georgiana, puzzled.

   Then Carolan walked away.

   Then Georgiana began to recall that Hogwarts had never accepted "foreign" students, only the Triwizard Tournament had seen foreigners, and Beauxbatons and Durmstrang were obviously international schools.

   If it is said that the wizards approached William III of Orange to legislate to protect and recognize wizards, then as the great ruler of the Netherlands, why were the wizards of the Netherlands not required to be sent to England to study?

   Originally, she did not know William III, thinking that he was just a frail parliamentary puppet. If he did not swear to become king, the parliament could find any duchy from the Holy Roman Empire and support him on the throne like Hanover.

But a "son of the country" who was persuaded by the Duke of Buckingham, who could say that he died in the last trench of the Republic, and also ordered the digging of the Amsterdam embankment, if the British and French forces dared to move forward, let Amsterdam and the Netherlands perish with them. "," the hero of protecting the country", no matter how you look at it, it is not weak.

The method of scorched earth warfare is generally to use fire to destroy all materials that may be used by the enemy. The Dutch "scorched earth" is flooded with water. If the cost of rebuilding the dam, pumping water, and dredging is higher than the expected benefits of the war, this battle Do you still need to call?

   "Is it that obvious?" she complained, who saw that she was going to set up the Belgian Ministry of Magic? Also came to discuss the issue of borders.

Do    wizards and muggles have overlapping borders? It would be annoying to change like a muggle, after all, wizards still have so much research to do, if one day she goes back, she will find Xenophilius to see him from the labyrinth of the Alps Could the found stone have something to do with Luan Yin?
