The Rise of the European Emperor

Chapter 1830: Clever tricks

This Baron Bogur was not an outstanding figure in the Earl of Angoulême, but his force was stronger. He was an important officer in the court of the Earl of Angoulême at that time.

If it's just the above identities, then this Baron Bogur is not worth mentioning. His real identity is that he once served as the fencing teacher and riding teacher of François I when he was a boy.

Although Francois I and Princess Claude got married, they changed to a more advanced swordsmanship teacher and riding teacher. However, those newly replaced high-ranking fencing teachers and riding teachers were all arranged by Queen Anne, the current Queen Mother Anne, not Francois I's "own people". What François I really believed in were those old Angouleme ministers who had followed him from the beginning. After all, no matter whether he is a king or not, those people are his loyal subordinates.

Although this Baron Bogur is not smart enough, and his martial arts skills are nothing compared to the French court knights, he has always been the most important guard leader in the Earl of Angoulême, responsible for the security of the city of Angoulême.

Francois I became the king of France, so he naturally wanted to bring his cronies to Paris to assist him. If it weren't for Baron Bocourt's average ability, it is estimated that François I would have given him all the security work of the Paris city defense.

But even if he did not become the commander of the Paris City Defense Force, Baron Bocourt, who was loyal to François I, still got the important task of the commander of the palace guard. It can be said that he is the person in charge of the last line of defense of Francois I.

Because of guarding the palace for a long time, although Baron Bocourt's status is not too high, he can often accompany Francois I and chat with Francois I at any time. And François I also liked to chat with this loyal old minister of Angoulême, and recall the childhood fun of Angoulême.

Therefore, although Baron Bogur's status is not high, no one in France dared to underestimate him. There are countless people who want to win him over, John Lafite is no exception. John Laffey invited him to drink, and it was inconspicuous-because many people did it!

But this Baron Bogur is a bit of a mess, he loves to drink and also likes food. However, his mouth is very strict. If you invite him to drink and eat meat, he will eat and drink. However, if you want to get news from him, it will be extremely difficult...

It is precisely because of this characteristic of him that Francois I trusted him so much. After all, no monarch wants his head of security to have a big mouth. Only those who can keep secrets can easily gain the trust of the superiors.

...

However, this time the situation is very different. Because, John Lafite didn't even think about asking him about the secrets of the royal family, but planned to fool him.

In order to clear my suspicions,

Under the guidance of Marin, John Lafite never expressed his views with Baron Bogur by himself, but let others do it for him.

Of course, in order to conceal his real purpose, when John Lafite first entertained Baron Bocourt, he always pretended to inquire about the various hobbies and tendencies of the new king François I. And this is what everyone who entertains Baron Bogur is doing.

But this Baron Boguer is very interesting. He is the kind of person who, when faced with a "sugar-coated cannonball", eats the "sugar-coated" and throws the "cannonball" back.

Every time someone invites him to drink and eat meat, if he is free and the other party's status is not very low, he will usually go there happily. But when he got to the place, he buried his head in eating and drinking. When asking about the master, they just make haha ​​casually and get away with it, and then continue to bury their heads in eating and drinking...

Even so, there was an endless stream of people entertaining him. Because, Baron Bocourt is one of the few people in the entire Kingdom of France who can often chat with the king.

Even if you can't get any useful information from this guy, if you take good care of this guy, one day when you chat with the king, you can say a few nice words for yourself, and you will earn money.

Therefore, John Laffey, like others, started the regular mode of "please eat and drink" after the previous failures of "finding the secrets of the royal family", and stopped asking questions.

Moreover, John Lafite brought different friends over to accompany him every time, flattering Baron Bogur together. And these friends of John Lafite, some are petty nobles, and some are simply businessmen, known as John Lafite's "business partners".

Baron Bogur didn't feel slighted by the fact that John Lafite brought the businessman to accompany him. Because, he only has good wine and food in his eyes, ignoring everything else. Moreover, it sounds quite comfortable for these low-status businessmen to flatter...

Why did Baron Bogur give John Laffey face? Apart from the fact that John Lafite has enough status and is a newcomer to François I's favorite circle, he still needs to give face.

In addition, John Laffey is the owner of the winery. The barrel-aged high-end Lafite wine produced by Chateau Lafite is also a favorite of Baron Bocourt.

And then, John Lafite was able to invite one of the famous chefs dedicated to the French royal family, one of the fat brothers, to help him cook for him!

You know, although he was a spy who infiltrated the court, Marin taught the fat brother too many advanced cooking skills in order to let the fat brother gain a firm foothold in the French court. And in this era when French cuisine has not yet become popular, Brother Fatty is like a leader in the French culinary world. Even, the "French meal" that is being spread now is the result of the two fat brothers. These two goods are also honored by the French as "the patriarch of French cuisine".

Why did Baron Bocourt refuse to invite such a master-level French chef to cook? You know, these two people usually only cook for the king's family. Even he, the commander of the palace guard, is not qualified to eat the dishes cooked by the fat brother. John Laffey can invite one of them to cheer, this kind of opportunity should not be missed...

But Baron Bogur didn't know at all——John Lafite and Brother Fatty were both colleagues of the North Sea State Intelligence Agency, so they naturally wanted to save face. To the outside world, the fat brother's excuse for John Lafite's face is that they like the top wines of Chateau Lafite very much. But in fact, what these two guys like to drink most is the rye Erguotou produced in Beihai country...

Of course, those are not important, the important thing is that the fat brother comes to cook, and Baron Bogur is willing to come...

...

Under Marin's guidance, John Lafite was also extremely cunning. Marin didn't let John Laffey speak by himself, but let the businessmen whom John Laffey invited to accompany him speak in the form of chatting...

The specific method is that when the wine is half drunk, when Baron Bogur is immersed in eating and drinking, the merchants invited by John Lafite will temporarily stop flattering and chat with each other instead. And the content of their chat will naturally reach the ears of Baron Bogur at the same table. After coming down many times, it formed a subtle influence, and Baron Bogur could not remember it. Then, when he chats with Francois I one day, he might remember it and casually tell Francois I...

This method seems to have a low probability, but in fact the possibility of success is very high. Because, Baron Bocourt is a loyal minister of François I!

As a loyal minister, I naturally hope that my monarch will go well. But now that the victims are besieging the city, Francois I is also devastated. If Baron Bocourt hears any feasible suggestions, he will involuntarily say them someday when he sees François I anxious about it, hoping to solve the Lord's worries...

And those "businessmen" that John Lafite brought to accompany him to the wine were actually spies from the North Sea State. What they said at the banquet was rehearsed in advance. Moreover, when Baron Bogur was half drunk and buried in eating and drinking, he talked about some important things loudly.

For example, the issue of disaster victims has become the hottest topic in Paris. And the spies from the Beihai Kingdom who came to pretend to be businessmen to accompany the wine would talk about it.

But, the first few times, they didn't say anything useful. Until recently, François I was getting more and more headaches about the disaster victims. John Lafite took the opportunity to signal those North Sea spies who pretended to be "John Lafite's business partners" at the banquet, and talked about it in a targeted manner. This topic, also gives a solution...
