I Am Louis XIV

Louis became king when he was still a child, but the veil of the other world was slowly lifted until he left Paris for the first time and met a werewolf. Louis did not know whether his father Louis XIII also came of age He was only allowed to touch this huge secret, but for a person with a mature mind, whether it was the Queen Mother's wishes or Bishop Mazaran's assumptions, it had a bad consequence, that is, the young king did not He will easily trust people in the other world again, just like he did to those Parisians, he forgives them, treats them kindly, and gives them rewards, but only those close to the king know that the king's most trusted people are those who used to be refugees, Now it is the people of Versailles—to put it simply, the Parisians can happily welcome the next king without Louis.

The same is true for the wizards in the other world. The king must completely trust them, unless they are completely prostrate at the king's feet, and Louis controls life and death. The problem is, if this is the case, the wizards are like chicken ribs to the king. It’s tasteless——Milady is very clear about this as a secret agent, but although she is also a witch, she is still a spy before she is a witch, and even the identity of a spy is more important than a wizard, so she can gain Louis’ trust. Yes, although Mary has received Louise's love and affection, in the balance of the king's heart, her weight may not be as heavy as Milady's - and the werewolf Louise has many secrets about her identity In addition to her being a werewolf, there is also the fact that her people were hired by the king's enemies and attacked the king, almost causing Louis to die. In this regard, Louis can be said to be quite bold and willful. If Bishop Mazaran Still, or the Queen Mother knew about it, and would not allow Louise to stay with the king anyway. Louise also knows this deeply, and she is not as good as Mary, at least she has a child-among the courtiers around the king, she is one of the few who has no way out.

So, quite strangely, Louise didn't know that in the King's mind, she was not as useless as she thought, but Louis would never tell her that he had made such a mistake once with Mary, Of course not repeating the same mistakes.

"Come and talk to me now," Louis asked Louise to sit down. If it was just chatting, he would hold Louise's hand, but now it is almost equivalent to work, and the atmosphere is naturally more serious.

"I said before, Your Majesty," Louise straightened her body and put her hands on her knees: "They are begging for your forgiveness."

"Well," Louis nodded, "I see, then they said, why did they ask for my forgiveness?" He asked calmly, "It's because they stay away from the royal family and are unwilling to perform their duties. Or did they conspire with Gaston, Duke of Orléans, to assassinate my father, Louis XIII?"

"They did not conspire with Gaston the Sinner," Louise said.

"Then they just stood by with indifference."

"There is a reason," Louise leaned forward slightly: "Your Majesty, it was Charles of Valois who betrayed them first, not them who betrayed the royal family first."

"Let's go on," Louis crossed his fingers coldly, "I'm listening."

"You should know Joan of Arc."

"Oh, of course I know." Luigi snapped a little: "This saint recognized by the Roman Church is also a witch?"

"If not," Louise said, "although her parents were not serfs, they were just rural freemen who owned fifty acres of land. Her father might have held a modest position in the village. It is also impossible for this position to allow him to have farsightedness beyond that of a general or a minister, let alone raise such a brave and outstanding daughter—Joan of Arc is the most outstanding student in the Witch Order, She has a team of teachers that is no less than a prince, she was carefully raised and taught carefully...for-"

"To be queen."

Louis interrupted her, and Louise's eyes widened in surprise: "No, Your Majesty, how can you think that way, the witches are trying to make her a hero, and it is true."

"Then I can only say that they have greatly beautified their original purpose." Since he did not use his royal wife simply as a decoration, Louis was not stingy with his patience, "Louis, tell me, you Do you think my marriage to Queen Teresa is out of love between a man and a woman?"

"...No," Louise said after hesitating for a while: "Your marriage is a covenant between countries, and it is out of public interest rather than personal affection. You respect her and love her, but that is not... love .”

"Yes," Louis said, "so it is very difficult to become a queen with an ordinary background." When he read the records about Charles VII, he felt that many of them were unreasonable I was confused before, but now these places are suddenly clear. If Joan of Arc is a witch, and as Louise said, she is also a character carefully cultivated by a witch order, and many incomprehensible developments are quite reasonable. .

"It's not that such a thing has never happened," Louis said. Compared with some undisclosed things in the French court, he understands some things in the English court on the other side better. In other words, the French are always very familiar Willing to see the jokes of the enemy, though the reverse is also true—"Henry VIII." He softly named the king, the rebel, excommunicated king of both England and Ireland. The king is also the pope of the Protestantism. He holds both the royal power and the teaching power in his hands. Regardless of his status as an enemy or an enemy, Louis still admires this person very much. However, Henry VIII is the most enviable person among many men. His boundless beauty and cruel heart—Henry VIII had six queens and countless lovers, but their endings, especially the queens, were really frightening—no wonder some people said that when those women accepted the coronation, it was Kneeling on the guillotine.

The first queen of Henry VIII was Princess Catherine of Spain. This poor woman died of depression in the monastery after being forcibly broken off her engagement.

His second queen is Anne Berlin. Here I have to mention that the Berlin family in England is also an existence very similar to the Mancini family. First of all, as Thomas Berlin, he was first an ordinary The businessman, the second is this businessman, who actually married Elizabeth, the daughter of the ancient Howard family. He and Elizabeth have several children, all of whom are beautiful and tall—the eldest daughter Mary Berlin first came into Henry VIII's sight, but At that time, Henry VIII had not completely given up on Queen Catherine, so Mary Berlin was replaced by her sister Anne Berlin after being the king's lover for several years.

And Anne Berlin was luckier than her sister, that is, Henry VIII was tired of the tug-of-war with Spain and the Church of Rome, and began to establish Protestantism. Queen Catherine was no longer so indispensable, and Anne Berlin was pregnant Yes, if she gave birth to a son, then the king must give her an unshakable identity, lest the prince's future succession rights be questioned. In this way, Anne Berlin became the second queen of Henry VIII, but After giving birth to a daughter, she was quickly rejected by the king, imprisoned and executed because of her ulterior relationship with her brother - her brother George was also killed.

Then one of the king's maids, Jane Seymour, was lucky enough to be the queen because she was pregnant. Unfortunately, she died after giving birth to the prince. Therefore, the king concluded a fourth engagement with Anne of Cleves. Married, but it is not so much that he married Anne of Cleves, it is better to say that the Howard family took the opportunity to send Catherine Howard to the king, so Catherine Howard became the fifth queen of the king, but she has not yet Before she had time to conceive children, she was also executed for adultery by Henry VIII-it is said that she had two lovers, one was a minister and the other was her personal secretary.

Henry VIII's last queen was Catherine Parr, but if it was said that it was out of love, no one would believe it. If it was said that it was the king's exhaustion after a series of miraculous operations, many people would agree.

But as a king, as Louis who was allowed to have a glimpse of the mystery of the inner world, he saw more things. Behind the romantic affairs that people talked about, it was the games between the inner world and the outer world. Henry VIII's acceptance of Catherine of Spain, who was once his sister-in-law, was his submission to the Roman Church, but such submission soon became increasingly unwilling, especially since Catherine did not seem to be able to bring him a healthy state. The idea of ​​the heir Henry VIII was quickly learned by the Howard family, or the Berlin family hiding behind the Howard family, so Mary Berlin and Anne Berlin were sent to the king.

Louis didn't know how much Henry VIII knew about this conspiracy. He might not have noticed it at first, but after Anne Berlin gave birth to his daughter, Henry VIII's sudden change in love for her was obvious to everyone. The thing is, Louis doesn’t really believe in Anne Berlin’s charges. First of all, according to Anne Berlin’s younger brother George’s confession under torture, he used to have three friends, and the happy things with Anne are not very It is worthy of deliberation. At that time, Anne Berlin was already the queen, and there were countless pairs of eyes watching her every move. It was impossible to do so without any gossip. Secondly, Anne Berlin was a smart person, and she knew her identity very well. A merchant's daughter, who depends on the king for everything, cannot do such a stupid thing.

Some people also say that this is because Anne Berlin gave birth to a daughter, which is not reasonable, because Anne Berlin was still very young at the time, young enough to have another child or many children, but Henry VIII As if urged by something, he dealt with her neatly. Louis thought for a while, if he was in Henry VIII's position and found that his court was being invaded by wizards, then admitting that he had been betrayed by his wife would be a big deal. A simple thing, after all, apart from this, there is no crime that can make people accept that a queen has been beheaded so quickly.

And if the Berlin family wants to say whether they have counterattacked... there should be, because Jane Seymour recovered well after giving birth to the prince, but it took more than ten days for the infection to appear, and she died. I don't know much about women giving birth, but what kind of infection can be delayed until more than ten days before onset... Louis has never heard of it.

There is also the Howard family. Berlin's failure failed to affect their power. They managed to make Henry VIII marry Anne of Cleves, but let the duke's niece Catherine Howard (Anne. Berlin's cousin) become The queen's handmaid, and easily seized the queen's position-here Louis is not sure whether Henry VIII is aware of this is another conspiracy of the Howard family, but ironically, the queen is also announced to be married to many She was beheaded, her lover was torn apart by a car, and this time, all the Howard family except the Duke of Norfolk were arrested and imprisoned, and their property was confiscated.

Moreover, when Louis turned to the last page, he found that Henry VIII was nearly 60 years old and time was running out. His marriage to Parr was a compromise with the Roman Church, because although Parr expressed acceptance of Protestantism and Sympathetic, but always a Catholic, and the reconciliation with the Howard family-in the end, Henry VIII released almost all the members of the Howard family, and returned part of the property, in order to ensure that after his death, only ten-year-old Prince Edward Can safely sit on the throne of the king.

Now let’s turn the topic back to Joan of Arc. Louis did not want to veto Joan’s nobility and bravery. It can be said that her achievements and good deeds made many men bow their heads in shame, but this upright girl I don’t know, her appearance has never been a coincidence—if the Berlin family and the Mancini family both followed the path of Israel’s pursuit of success, then the French witches have even greater ambitions. They not only want to To have a queen, but also hope to get a saint, perhaps it is precisely because France at that time has indeed reached a point where it is almost at the end of its rope.

In the Treaty of Troyes in 1420, King Charles VI of France was defeated by King Henry V of England because of insanity. Therefore, in the treaty, his queen humiliatedly admitted that Henry V would be the heir of France. and the regent, and assigned the area north of the Loire River to Henry V, so the British have always claimed that France belonged to Henry V. As the eldest son of Charles VI, Charles VII was not recognized, and he was still king at that time. Prince Charles VII has not yet ascended the throne, and only prayed in vain all day long in Chinon, but he never gave up—it’s hard to say, when Joan of Arc, who was still a peasant girl, came to him and said that she could save France, What mood is he in.

Yes, of course a peasant girl cannot save France, but a witch and a witch order may be able to. Louis has no way of knowing the mood of Charles VII at that time, but he believes that Charles VII was afraid that he had already understood the truth about Joan of Arc. The identity is known, otherwise it is impossible to explain all the miracles that happened to her-gaining the support of soldiers and generals; predicting the defeat of the French army near Orleans in the Battle of Herring; traveling alone through the vast Burgundy (enemy) Territory and so on - although to the uninformed, this is God's gift to this girl and France.

After this, Joan's support from Charles VII was almost complete and complete. Her horses, armor, banners, swords and entourage, etc. were all generously given by the Dauphin, and she received it from the Dauphin. He has more authority than those older and experienced generals with surnames and families, and even surpasses those earls and dukes.

The series of incredible victories that followed need not be repeated, but people say that although Joan of Arc always took the lead, she never won with personal bravery. Even she herself said that her banner is better than her sword—that is, It is reasonable to say that she is more like a resourceful tactician, which is reasonable and unreasonable. It is reasonable, that is, Joan of Arc was still a sixteen-year-old girl at the time, and it is impossible to have a character like Samson (the battle without war in the Bible). It is unreasonable to control the victory or defeat of the battlefield with the power of the invincible giant, because there is no mistake or failure in any decision made by Joan of Arc. She seems to have countless pairs of eyes, countless pairs of ears, the enemy's The movement cannot be hidden from her at all, and the reactions of her own people are all within her expectations...

But if it is said that at that time, there were witches' sects in full force, and it was not surprising to work for their own agents.

If you can directly read the records and letters at that time like Louis, you can see that Charles VII is not an ungrateful villain as people later accused him of. It can be said that without Charles VII, it would be impossible for Joan of Arc to get any chance to let her speak out. After all, women have always been regarded by men as weak and sinful little creatures. They cannot be trusted, nor can they be trusted. Can not be relied on, when Joan of Arc appeared in Chinon, because she was wearing armor, wearing men's clothes, with short hair, and was accused of being a witch (although this is the case), it was still in the teachings taught by Charles VII. ——Women can wear men's clothing and armor to justify Joan of Arc by ensuring their chastity. As for the rewards afterwards, they are not worth mentioning compared to their support on the battlefield. Joan of Arc can prove it by showing real achievements Before me, the protests of those generals were almost all forcibly suppressed by Charles VII.

When the gate of Lance was opened and Charles VII was crowned, he immediately decided to confer Joan of Arc as Marquis. For a peasant girl, this award was already very rich, and the war was not over at that time. Some people said that the war was over. Afterwards, Joan of Arc might become a duchess...
