I Am Louis XIV

If Mr. Bishop was still angry before, he is depressed now. This is not the result he wanted-although the Bible severely condemns all bed curtains that are not for reproduction, everyone knows that the Romans The priests have always been vegetarians, and the Italians are more sentimental—men and women, and the Renaissance completely liberated their thoughts and desires, just like the deported Olympian gods Chasing beauty all day long, unable to extricate himself, like the ancient Greek scholars indulged in the unspeakable deformed love...

As with the Italians, as with the Germans, as with the Spaniards, and even with the English, it is only the middle classes who are most likely to be blamed, because they can neither be as free as the lower class nor as free as the upper class ——When his nephew Felipe received a cold reception from the king and was rejected by the queen mother (he could not get close to the queen mother), the suggestion made by the bishop did not agree at first, but he must also consider the king's younger brother. Philip's prestige is approaching the king - the king has a gentle temperament and is not as prominent as his brother, so people's attention is often focused on the young brother. The bishop has also reminded the king, but Louis trusts his brother very much , not only did not alienate and treat the Duke of Anjou as coldly as the Bishop said, but instead kept entrusting more and more important matters to the hands of the younger brother.

And the visit of the former Queen of Sweden became the last weight on the heart of Mr. Bishop.

For the king, he just discusses the matter as it stands, and gives power and position according to his personal ability. He doesn't even feel that he takes care of Philip. In this matter, he handed over the position of financial director to Fouquet and the royal engineer Giving the post to Vauban, and the post of general and marshal to the Viscount Turenne, like Schaumberg, is purely out of public interest-but the Bishop doesn't think so, he is very willing to see a tolerant king, because he Knowing that those who want to seize the power of the king may not have a good ending, even if it is him and the queen mother, out of such a little selfishness, he does not want Louis to change, but the problem is that such tolerance falls on the younger brother It's not so good, he has been watching the Duke of Gaston in Blois. It is said that he is either drunk all day long, sleeping or cursing his brother and nephew loudly - and he has not given up his ambition, Monsieur Bishop He is ready, if he is going to meet God, then he will also take this abominable guy with him-although they may not go the same way next.

Such an idea did not come suddenly. Bishop Mazaran was born in a humble family, and it is almost difficult for people born in a humble family in this era to have a healthy body. He is aging faster than his peers, and he has been coughing constantly recently. The doctor asked him to find "the fresh corpse of a red-haired man who was hanged, crucified or beheaded to death around 24 years old" as a special medicine—— He refused, because the potion in the other world is much more effective, and Mr. Bishop would rather eat bat wings, toad legs or mouse tails than cannibalism.

He knew that Felipe had indeed been using special perfumes, witches' perfumes, to gain the favor of women, really, it was no different from vain boys wearing a diamond ring on their finger, and he also Sternly warned him that neither his identity nor ability in the other world could appear in the court. King Arthur has done a lot of things. It can be said that Merlin contributed a lot to the reason why King Arthur is King Arthur, but he did two things wrong. King Sir cast a spell that changed his face, allowing Arthur to be born-if the first thing can only be said to be unfounded, then the latter thing undoubtedly hit the king's weakness-who knew Merlin would Wouldn't it be his wife, lover, or knight, and would that person suddenly betray him and strike him dead when he didn't expect it?

King Arthur's dislike of Merlin is completely reasonable, although he has never shown it, but how could the Queen of Northumberland, Vivienne, make Merlin fascinated by him, make him follow his orders, and finally imprison him in one fell swoop? In the rock, no one can tell, and it is another mystery that King Arthur acquiesced to the church to launch a large-scale attack on wizards afterwards? As for whether the palace began to expel wizards before or after this, it is even more unclear.

Now the kings of the outer world are willing to support and drive wizards, because the inner world is getting weaker and weaker, and the families that originally migrated to the inner world are planning to return to the outer world—the Mancini family is not the only one that has extended its tentacles to the outside world family, and the Roman Church is gradually letting go of the shackles of the Inquisition when it is constantly promoting its supreme position. At least a few hundred years ago, it was absolutely impossible for the Inquisition to continue to serve Protestantism. —Then why did the church suddenly become kind again? It's not because they realize that without the support of the outer world, the monks and their descendants in the inner world cannot continue to fight against wizards and dark creatures. Since they can control them, they are not hesitant to loosen their chains in some places.

Therefore, if Felipe confessed to the Bishop that he wanted to use some low-level methods against the Duke of Anjou, especially those related to witchcraft, the Bishop would never allow it, but when the Bishop asked He just said with a smile, the Duke of Anjou, His Royal Highness already has a 120,000-point affection for him, and the relationship between them may be deeper than that of friends. At that time, he will ask the younger brother to help him A few good words in front of the king, and the title of a duke is at your fingertips.

Mr. Bishop has no doubts about this. Mary only revealed her identity when the werewolf raided the convoy, so her father and uncle came to reprimand her personally. Felipe is several years older than Mary , he should understand the trend of the family better, and he shouldn't do such a stupid behavior.

...

But he did.

Thinking of this, Mr. Bishop couldn’t help but have a splitting headache, and he lost his voice when he saw Mancini’s parents and his brother. The strange thing is that they were all angry at each other’s failure to fulfill their responsibilities——Mancini’s parents didn’t They dared to interrogate the king, and they were disgraced even more after being retorted by the bishop. When they ran aggressively to the Louvre to interrogate Mary, they couldn’t get close at all—the last time they came to interrogate Mary, the king Still in exile, Elliott, the chief judge of the Inquisition, is still up for grabs. The hunting lodge in Versailles is simply a funnel, let alone a wizard, even a commoner can walk in swaggeringly.

Now the king has always been accompanied by monks from the tribunal. After the Felipe incident, the king asked Marie Mancini to move to a room next to him. This move caused many rumors, but now the king can't take care of it. , according to Marie, Felipe was her father's favorite child, and it was hard to say what her father would do—maybe he didn't dare to do anything to the king, but besides Marie, he had many daughters.

Mr. Bishop really didn't know what to say when he heard these rumors. The reason why he indulged Felipe was because Louis had never shown the love for women that a young boy should have. He was worried... yes, yes The same is true for the other gender. He is surrounded by more of his servants, his marshal and his ministers. Wangdi had children before the king—even illegitimate children, so he... he just wanted to delay Wangdi's "real adulthood" age a little bit.

Although it is possible that the younger brother Wang has some kind of bad preference, it doesn't matter, this is not the case among the nobles, they will still have a satisfactory marriage, have a wife and an heir, although this cannot be made public, But it won't turn into a disturbing handle either.

But can he say this to the king, to the queen mother?

cannot.

—————

In the end, the king invited the bishop to his study, and they only talked for ten minutes with only two of them, before deciding on the compensation to the Mancini family.

Marie's sister, Mancini's eldest daughter, Laura Mancini is discussing marriage with the Duke of Modena. The king will send envoys to congratulate and send gifts worth 100,000 livres. Their marriage has also been basically agreed upon. The king will also send gifts worth 100,000 livres and lend them the Palace of Fontainebleau so that they have a decent place to conclude the marriage contract and complete the ceremony.

"And Mary Mancini..." Mr. Bishop said, "They also hope that she will have a prominent marriage."

This time the king did not answer him.
