  Chapter 1568 Saint Denis’s Treasures (8)

  "Are you still communicating with the Prince of Wales?" Georgiana asked Napolioni.

  He smiled mysteriously, and then asked, "Don't you ask me why I came to the Louvre?"

  Georgiana looked at Denon not far away. He was chatting with the ladies.

   "I asked the Prince of Wales who is his worst enemy." Napolioni said, "Guess how he answered?"

  Georgiana could not imagine what the people of Britain and France would feel when they knew that the pair of "pen pals" were still communicating.

   "He said it was his wife." Napoleoni stopped selling off. "Is this the humor of your British?"

   "I think he is answering your question honestly." Georgiana said very seriously, although the Prince of Wales responded by avoiding certain sensitive questions.

   "If he is not the crown prince, he must be the most outstanding comedian in Europe." Bonaparte said, looking at the gallery full of oil paintings in front of him.

   "You said it." Georgiana said, "Do you think he was born a ruler?"

"Not only was Louis XVI being guillotined in 1793, the people of Paris also rushed into the Saint-Denis Cathedral, smashing all the tombs, sculptures and church decorations with hammers. The bronze sculptures were melted and cast into cannons. And coins. Two months later, a group of more thorough saboteurs, holding torches, walked down the dark stairs to the underground hall of the church. Their target was the corpses of the noble kings.” Napolioni said, “Henry IV The world is well preserved, and the body of Louis XV emits an unbearable stench, so that the accompanying soldiers will not shoot, letting the smell of gunpowder dilute the unpleasant stench."

   "I know about this." Georgiana said, including Robespierre, she added in her heart.

"I asked Denon if the destroyed sculptures could be reshaped. This was not difficult at first, but it involved political issues and needed careful consideration. Before the construction of the Temple of Mars, the Basilica of Saint Denis had always been French soldiers marching. The place where money sacrifices the battle flag, France has a long culture of knights. The flag held by a trainee knight has a dovetail. When he becomes a real knight, the dovetail will be cut off, and the flag will become square. If the knight’s square is The battle flag was lost, and there were only two situations, one was that he was defeated or captured, and the other was that he died. The square flag carried by the French royal army is written with'montjoiesaintdenis'. This slogan has been used since the time of Charlemagne. In the Middle Ages, you can see sculptures of Joan riding a horse and holding a battle flag everywhere in France. Few people have noticed what is written on her flag. Have you noticed what is written on her flag?"

  Georgiana tilted her head and recalled.

"It's the iris that represents the French royal family." He answered with a good heart. "The lilies of the royal family of Bourbon were not used during the Seven Years War. The white iris on the blue background used by the army flag was also on the emblem of Louis XIV. However, during the Hundred Years' War between Britain and France, what was flying on the battlefield was the royal flag with a red background and a golden sun and written s.denis. At that time, people not only had to fight against people but also against the Black Death. This plague was not only The scourge of the European continent, even the United Kingdom on the other side of the Strait was also affected. In 1348, the two countries had ceased war for ten years. However, in 1356, Britain took the lead to tear up the peace treaty and attacked Keith and Gascony in southwestern France. When Edward III approached In Paris, Charles V signed a treaty and ceded the territory of the Pyrenees south of the Loire River to the United Kingdom. The battle flag with a gold background and a red sun was no longer used, and a blue background with golden irises was used. Instead of the battle flag, the blue iris is suitable for various occasions in France and coexists with the other flags. The wife of Victor Dupont you see today is the daughter of Lafayette, who once commanded After fighting, it was just that he was a revolutionary and was not good at command. Facing the Austrian invasion, he quietly retreated to France. After Robespierre came to power, Lafayette knew that he would stay in France as a royalist for fear of his life. Unsure, he prepared to flee from the Netherlands to the United States. He was captured by Austria on the way. He was a prisoner with the Austrians. He was not released until the signing of the "Campoformio Peace Treaty" in 1797. Later, he stayed in his own. Territory, I give him a pension of 6000 francs a month."

  Georgina still didn’t understand what he was talking about.

"Charlie V lost his territory, but in exchange for time to reform. After allowing this'machine' to function normally, he went to war with Britain again in 1369, reversing the situation of the Hundred Years War, and Charles V was also called for this. For the wise Charles, he also convened a three-level council to raise a ransom for the redemption of John II..."

   "Someone wants you to welcome back the Bourbon royal family?" Georgiana asked.

  "Did you not realize that there are no iris and citigroups around, only the red, white and blue tricolor flags?" Bonaparte smiled charmingly. "If it's you, would you let that kind of royal family rule yourself?"

  Georgiana looked at the little one.

  Who changed its name to deserve the title of "King"? Is it the person with a false name, or the person who owns everything except the name?

   "Nothing is irreplaceable, even myself." He said so soberly, "No matter how good Louis XVIII said, there is only one result of me letting him come back, so I can't let him come back."

  "Do you know what the Americans told me today?" Georgian asked, "Jefferson believes in you, not emotional, and I think he is wrong."

   "Why do you think that?"

"I actually don’t believe that most people’s opinions are always correct. If so, how did Socrates die? When most people believed that the earth was flat, Columbus believed that the earth was round. The New World. You’re not always right, Leon, just like the people with the majority of opinions, they are not always right, but I don’t think they will be like the Greeks who voted to execute Socrates. Awaken and regret. If it is really to establish a constitutional monarchy, many people have the opportunity to usurp the throne at that time. Many people envy the life of being a king and get what they want, but maybe they have seen the scene of the popular change and know that Wearing a'hat' is uncomfortable."

   "Hat?"

"That's what Carloman called the crown. Do you remember the Nika riot? At that time, in the arena, the people put a golden circle on the head of the emperor they chose." She smiled bitterly and shook her head. "The man was dragged by the house. When he came out, his wife kept crying, but no one would listen to her, and the person who was forced to wear the crown later disappeared in history."

   "What do you want to say?"

"Lyoncourt once said to Louis XVI,'No, your majesty, this is a revolution.' He said another sentence later. I don't know if you heard it. Only fools argue for the form of government. History commends all forms literally, and generally speaking, the same is true for the government, because humans love freedom, and in a society, individual freedom requires certain behaviors to regulate, so the first condition of freedom There are restrictions. If things are absolutely free, freedom will die in chaos. You may think that I am a republican, but no. I think there are more talents in the republican, which is more useful than those who only flatter and flatter. But you also told me that no one would worship a grass man. Monroe despised me, and that is why he showed his other side under his kind mask. He gave me an Indian jewelry, Cherokee. At present, learning from them, there is no conflict of interest, and they can share the land of the New World in an orderly manner. But if one day they discover mineral resources on the land of the Cherokee, the Americans will find a way to'legally' occupy it."

   "How do you know?" He said with a grin.

  Because history is written like this.

  Georgiana had no choice but to think that before discovering the gold mines in California, people first discovered gold mines on the land of the Cherokees, and then the "civilized people" revealed their greedy nature.

"The government's primary task is order. They have seen the destruction caused by chaos, so they lend money to the bakery at any cost to keep them running." Georgiana whispered, "I think this is also the reason why Charles V was wise. He In exchange for time for reform."

  "He could be driven out of Paris by the people." He said nonchalantly, "Who said don't trust the spies who gather intelligence in the tavern, and don't trust the king who easily abandons the capital?"

   "Obviously I am not always correct," she muttered.

   "How did you come up with this sentence? Your husband used to collect information in a tavern?"

"He did it before, but I feel this way because of another reason." She told him about the kidnapping of children during the Louis XV period. "Originally, when Louis XV came to power, the people were very enthusiastic. He overthrew Louis. The depressive atmosphere created in the late fourteenth period, but when the enthusiasm dissipated, rumors began to spread, and some people even wrote poems to summon Lavalik’s soul to resurrect, the assassin who assassinated Henry IV."

  "How did Louis XV deal with it?"

  "After hearing this poem, he wrote on the back of the paper, I knew I was destined to die like Henry IV."

  He took a deep breath, as if uncomfortable.

"Louis XV believed that the female fishmonger in the Honest Market would kill him when he had an heir. This information came from a spy who collected information in the tavern. Severus also collected it in the tavern. Intelligence, the prediction killed his beloved woman."

  He stopped and let Georgiana look at him.

   "You don't believe him?" Bonaparte asked.

   "He killed my principal at the time." Georgiana said, "No one told me it was they acting."

   "Does your principal believe him?"

  Georgiana nodded.

  He didn't speak for a while.

   "You can believe that most people are not right, but you can't believe that he loves you, because most people you know think he loves Lily, and you don't believe him."

   "I don't know." She said out of control.

   "I became a ‘good guy’, can you give me some rewards?"

"what do you want?"

   "A sweet kiss." He said with a smile, and then kissed her in the crowd.

  This is not a rare thing in France, but it was the 21st century, and in the 19th century, people would be accused of deviant.

  "Let’s go to St. Denis Church." He said after kissing her, "I heard that the windows there are beautiful."

  "Is it as beautiful as the rose window of Notre Dame de Paris?"

  "This may only be known by looking at it." He put her forehead on his forehead, closed his eyes and said, "Do you really think it's right to use emotions?"

"This is your strength." She said softly. "You understand what the soldiers are thinking, and you are on the front line with them. Unlike those who give orders in the office, the soldiers love you so much and are even willing to use them. Your body and life protect you, Leon. I doubt that other rulers have this treatment."

   "Come with me." He said with a smile, holding her hand and ran towards the unopened area of ​​the Louvre.

Matilda wanted to keep up, but was stopped by Denon.

  Maybe she is stupid, but she feels like Rose and Jack are avoiding pursuit in the Titanic at this moment.

   is very exciting and very happy. As for what to do after the boat docks, she has never thought about it.

  She only knows that she is free at this moment.
