Miss Montrancy looked reluctant to leave when parting, and Li Lin also acted politely like a gentleman protecting flowers. After turning around, the girl's face and her father, who was full of copper-minded and wise self-preservation thoughts, had been forgotten.
Clean.
For the benefit of the family and to repay her parents for their upbringing, this young lady has made up her mind. Her performance art of refusing to welcome can definitely bring home a statuette. But for Monttrand, who has been placed on the list of sacrifices for political transactions,
For Earl West, this dedication and effort is destined to be in vain.
The noise on the dance floor gradually faded away from behind. Two bald men in black suits and sunglasses stood solemnly at the end of the passage and opened the door of the salon. The cardinal, who looked cold and sick, was slowly talking about the limited edition of the best Blue Mountain coffee.
"I'm really sorry for keeping the Prime Minister waiting for so long. Please forgive me for the poor hospitality."
"Easy to say."[
In response to the formal bowing and salute, Cardinal Richelieu, Prime Minister of the Kingdom of Charlemagne, said calmly:
"I don't really like noisy places. That's just for you young people."
This is at least half true. The archbishop is indeed very restrained in his life, which is completely inconsistent with his status.
He has the courage of thunder, the will of God and the sacred sense of responsibility of the creator of order. He is cruel and extremely honest and frugal. He lives like an ascetic. As a cardinal of the Marfa Orthodox Church, he regards national interests as more important than faith.
——There are so many contradictory characteristics in Richelieu, which are enough to make people sigh at the complexity of human nature. At the same time, they have to admit that the Mother Goddess has injected all the necessary qualities of a prime minister into the container named Richelieu.
He does not look like the "Charlemagne noble" in people's image at all, nor does he look like the bishop of the Marfa Orthodox Church. Instead, he is quite similar to Li Lin's team of technocrats.
Now the cardinal looked at Li Lin with polite eyes and cold eyes.
"The 'Jack the Ripper' incident is finally over. Needless to say, kind-hearted citizens, we businessmen in the royal capital can also breathe a sigh of relief."
The prime minister raised his eyebrows with his pretense of comfort, and then returned to calm.
Li Lin was not grateful at all for this, nor did he stop there. The hidden conversation continued.
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is finally coming back from the front line in Lapland. Thank you Mother Goddess for giving us a crown prince who fights to defend our faith. The safety of the country can rest easy."
For a moment, the bishop's eyes were almost deathly cold, but as a person who could achieve great things, Richelieu finally relied on his extraordinary self-control to suppress the urge to kill people. In any case, he came today to meet Li Lin.
We came to reach a compromise. We are not here to guest star in Young and Dangerous.
For the same reason, Li Lin also stopped his little tricks and turned the topic to the physical level.
"Please forgive me for commenting on the Crown Prince's faith, and I don't intend to say anything about what has happened. However, Prime Minister, I am a businessman. The first priority is to ensure the liquidity of capital and make profits from it.
, Therefore, whether the business environment is stable or not directly affects profits and corporate survival."
There is actually no shortage of business opportunities in war-torn areas, but in a peaceful environment, objective conditions such as infrastructure, logistics, costs, labor quality, and customers' ability to pay are definitely much better. Therefore, even in order to dump arms, large capital groups will set the battlefield
A place far away from you, not at home. In the same way, while embezzling huge wealth, the company is also maintaining Charlemagne's stability.
"The 'Dragoon Movement' is destroying this delicate state. Charlemagne's domestic political stability no longer seems to be so secure, and we have to worry about this."
Crown Prince Louis is a devout believer in the Marfa Orthodox Church, and his respectful attitude towards the Pope and even his father fully reflects this. He believes that everyone in the country he will rule should believe in the Marfa Orthodox Church.
The orthodox teachings were also conducive to his control of the country. So he mobilized dragoons to station in the Burgundy area where Huguenots gathered.
The Crown Prince's original intention may have been to persuade the people there to believe in orthodoxy, and the dragoons were only the necessary force to intimidate the persuasion smoothly. However, under the control of local officials who had obtained chicken feathers as arrows, and orthodox priests who firmly believed that the death penalty was a necessary means to purify heretics.
.In the actual implementation process, there was no gentle persuasion at all, and it was reduced to the atrocities of the army, local officials and the Orthodox Church who plundered, smashed, looted and burned the Huguenots at will.
If this was just a random mess by the people below, it would not have attracted Li Lin's attention, but what happened next was no longer as simple as a religious struggle to persecute Protestants.
Prince Louis soon learned the truth of the matter. After experiencing the initial anger, His Highness, who was short of money, was quickly attracted by the sight of gold, silver, jewelry, and land deeds piled up in front of him. In a series of confrontations with the company, he was fully
Experienced the tremendous pressure brought by the opponent's abundant financial resources,
The crown prince, who became particularly sensitive to money, wanted to continue the competition until he finally won. Coupled with his always very good self-feeling, the crown prince not only did not stop, but allowed his subordinates to do whatever they wanted, and was even more prepared to "break the four olds"
The dragoon movement spread nationwide.[
"According to my information, His Highness seems to have some objections to your religious tolerance policy, Prime Minister. Some of the ministers also proposed to issue a new edict to revise the decree signed by His Majesty Henry IV 200 years ago.
When he was young, the bishop presided over the military operation to suppress the Huguenot rebellion in La Rochelle, and personally ordered these heretics and rebels who regarded the central royal power to be hanged from the trees. But in the end, the cardinal ended up with this group of people who were proficient in business and handicrafts.
The stubborn donkeys reached the Peace of Ales and used whips and sweet dates to make the Huguenots serve the national interests.
Dauphin Louis probably took his image as a defender of faith too seriously, and with a little financial temptation, the young crown prince actually became so stupid that he wanted to abolish the Edict of Nantes, which led to the reconciliation between the Orthodox and the Huguenots.
Once this cornerstone that ensures that the country is safe and has the opportunity to develop into a first-class power that dominates the world is destroyed, you can guess with your toes what fate Charlemagne, who currently does not have a harmonious relationship with his neighboring countries, will usher in.
If the guy who proposed the abolition of the Edict of Nantes hadn't had his head pinched by the birth canal due to difficult childbirth, he must be a sinister Albion spy.
Fire returns to fire, but if the legitimate heir to the throne is deposed because of this, and a prince of Bona who wears a pair of trousers with his company comes to the throne, our Archbishop Li will be even more depressed.
In order to prevent such a terrible thing from happening, the bishop has been busy erasing the traces of the "Dragoon Movement" in recent times, taking the risk of making the crown prince extremely unhappy, and trying to bring order to the Burgundy region.
Before the Qunots once again carry forward the glorious tradition of rebellion,
Things were stabilized, but the subsequent "Jack the Ripper" incident completely caught the Prime Minister off guard. (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to vote at Qidian. Please vote monthly for your support.
