The Rise of the European Emperor

When Baron Bocourt returned to the palace, François I had already had an early rest. Francois I was only 21 years old, and it was the time when he was young and vigorous. And Queen Claude is also young and beautiful, at an average age.

Although Francois I was secretly circumcised by Marin, he didn't know it himself. In addition, the vasectomy did not affect the relationship between the husband and wife, so he didn't notice it, and continued to spend time with the 16-year-old young queen as usual.

No, it was only seven or eight o'clock in the evening, and the two of them "rested" early...

And for the monarch of a country, creating an heir is also a major event. Therefore, even if Baron Bogur is eager to offer advice, he can only wait until the next day. After all, he is not a eunuch, so he cannot break into the king's bedroom at will.

The next morning, after eight o'clock in the morning, Francois I, who was overworked last night, slowly got up, and then came to the restaurant for breakfast.

The breakfast is also made by the fat brother. It is a very delicious bacon pizza with two eggs added. In addition, there is a large cup of hot milk.

Because Francois I had been circumcised a long time ago, Marin didn't have to let the fat brother tamper with the food at all. But it is still necessary for the fat brothers to stay in the Paris court, so Marin asked the fat brothers to stay there to inquire about the news, and at the same time let them do their due diligence to help the king's family cook, including Queen Anne, who moved to the side hall. Of course, the head of the palace guards like Baron Bogur is not qualified.

But as long as he has a thicker skin, Baron Bogur can often come to eat and drink. For example, when making breakfast, the fat brothers tend to make a few extra backups. And Baron Bogur, taking this opportunity, took away a back-up bacon pizza, stood aside and gnawed on it.

Francois I didn't care about this either. Because he and Queen Claude didn't have a lot of food, and Queen Anne's breakfast had already been specially delivered there. These backup bacon pizzas are actually cheaper for the maids in the end, but usually after the king and his wife have finished eating. Confidants like Bogul can also share if they are willing to wait. Of course, sometimes, Bogur can also take a backup breakfast to enjoy before the king and his wife finish eating. After all, the king and his wife couldn't finish their meal, and it was just a rule to keep a backup, in case the king suddenly had a big appetite.

Nibbling on a pizza topped with good bacon fried in olive oil, Baron Boguer's mouth was full of oil. After eating, Bogul wiped his hands with a towel before taking out the small book that recorded the method from his pocket...

Francois I looked at the method recorded in the small book and fell into deep thought. He didn't even notice that the half-eaten bacon pizza in his hand was cold.

"Your Majesty, do you think this method is useful?" Baron Bogur asked expectantly.

Francois I bowed his head and thought for a while,

Say:

"In theory, it is indeed a good method. However, I always feel that there is something wrong... Well, you go to rule, and let the Duke of Charles (Duke of Bourbon), Earl Duarte and Viscount John come over, we Let's discuss this together..."

Two hours later, a group of François I's close officials came to the meeting room of the palace to participate in the discussion.

"Your Majesty, why did you summon us here?" Charles III, the Duke of Bourbon, was the first to ask.

François I did not answer, but handed Bocour's small book to the Duke of Charles and asked them to circulate it. After everyone had seen it, Francois I asked:

"My lords, how about this method? Can it solve the current predicament in Paris?"

The Duke of Charles frowned and said nothing, while Earl Duert, as the old leader of the hidden front, raised his concerns:

"Your Majesty, this method is naturally good. However, there is one thing to be aware of - the news must not be leaked! Once the secrets are leaked, Your Majesty's reputation will be ruined. Therefore, although this strategy is good, the first thing to do is, It is absolutely confidential and cannot be leaked!"

Francois I also suddenly realized at this time——

"I said why I feel something is wrong. It turns out that I feel that there is such an omission..."

At this time, John Lafite, who was involved in the incident, said calmly:

"There is no problem with confidentiality. This matter is just me, Baron Bogul, Knight Louis, Knight Edu and the three businessmen present. Needless to say, Lord Bogul and I, Knight Louis and Knight Edu are also nobles, and they issued the order to keep silent That's it. As for the three businessmen... I will send someone tonight to shut them up forever..."

The so-called "shut up forever" is naturally to let them "get a box lunch". Although this matter is a bit unreasonable, it is actually fine for the king's reputation.

"But the young man who offered advice... seems to be a bit talented, isn't it a pity to deal with it like this?" Baron Bogur hesitated, he was still very optimistic about that "Griezmann".

John Lafite shook his head and said:

"Master Bogur, if it is normal, his ability is indeed commendable. However, you must know that if this matter is leaked, it will have a great impact on His Majesty's reputation. Compared with His Majesty's reputation, his little cleverness is not worth anything. carry!"

Having said that, Francois I and several other nobles nodded their heads one after another. Anyway, it's just three businessmen, so there's really no pity.

"However, I am worried that the three of them will talk nonsense with others and leak the plan..." Charles III, Duke of Bourbon, worried.

John Lafite pretended to think about it, and then said:

"It shouldn't be a problem. It happened last night. It shouldn't have had time to spread. The three of them are currently living in one of my other houses and are treated as guests. I'll send someone to arrest them now. They, don't let them go out and talk nonsense with people. Then, tonight..."

Everyone nodded, thinking that this approach was reliable. But John Lafite showed hesitation and said:

"Your Majesty, do you want to stop thinking about it? This matter is too big to leak out. If you don't use this method, I don't have to deal with the three of them..." After finishing speaking, he showed a somewhat reluctant expression, as if unwilling Da happy to kill his three "friends".

Francois I waved his hand and said:

"I don't want to do this either, but, Viscount John, you have to know how bad the impact will be if the 300,000 disaster victims besiege Paris? If it continues, not only the court will bear a heavy burden, but the entire French kingdom will also suffer Let's be ashamed together. After all, the capital is surrounded by more than 300,000 hungry people, which is a very shameful thing. Moreover, I am also afraid that after a long time, these people will really make trouble and make outsiders see the joke..."

Francois I has been on the throne for less than a year, and his ideas and methods are still immature, and his prestige is not enough. Encountered this matter suddenly, he panicked, thinking that he could solve the trouble as soon as possible. As for the consequences, he can't control that much anymore...

After John Lafite made a hesitant expression, he said again:

"Actually, Your Majesty, the reason why I am worried is because I have thought of a problem, a very serious problem..."

"What's the problem?" Francois I was also a little nervous when he heard that it was "serious".

John Laffey continued:

"Soldiers! Your Majesty, among the 300,000 disaster victims, there are more than 60,000 strong men. Among them, there are even people who have been mercenaries and conscripts. If they are given to Marin, the Duke of Beihai, maybe there will be some of them." Those who have experience in the army will be recruited by him to serve as soldiers..."

Speaking of this, the faces of Francois I and others changed...

In fact, Marin deliberately asked John Laffey to say this. The more John Laffey objected and the more he pointed out the problem, the more innocent his relationship with Marin would appear. Even if something goes wrong one day, it will not be implicated. After all, before he disagreed and raised many questions, no one would doubt him.

In addition, this approach of "ugly words first" can also dispel France's doubts as much as possible, so as to avoid future troubles.
