Versailles is worse than being queen

◎Let him die! ◎

After seeing the protest, Henriette rushed to find Antania almost in a hurry.

According to the speed of the protest team, I am afraid that the news will spread in Paris in a short time-the German writers and Paris newspapers who betrayed their faith must be severely punished!

By then, will Antanya still be able to openly cover up the Rheinische Zeitung?

"Hey, Antoinette," Louis said, coming up.

Henriette quickly shut his mouth, lowered his head and pretended nothing happened.

Unexpectedly, the crown prince touched his chin in embarrassment: "If you have something to do, just do it... I, I am also going back to study my forging and welding."

"Thank you, Louie." Antanya smiled at him.

Antalya and Henriette set off for Paris in a carriage.By the time they arrived at the protest area in Paris, half a day had passed.

"Oh my God! There are already so many people!" Henriette's eyes darkened.

The black crowd of protesters in front of her was several times larger than when she left, and they couldn't see the edge at a glance.

In the square not far from them, people waving flags and slogans were in chaos, and they looked unusually outraged, as if they were about to fight.

"Wait," Antanya pressed her arm, "Look, what are they talking about?"

Henriette looked carefully, and then his eyes widened in surprise——

"Let him die!" was the biggest slogan ever written.

"The devil who betrayed the faith!" Someone cursed loudly.

But immediately someone scolded back: "The church has no right to forbid Werther's death!"

"God will deny him entry to Paradise!"

"Stop being so sentimental, do you think he is willing to go to heaven?"

An emotional girl stood on a park wall, weeping and shouting: "I love Werther, I personally don't want him dead...but if the church won't allow him to die, I'm going to say - let him die!"

"Let him die!"

"Let him die!"

"The church declares that we will go to hell if we don't do what they say...but our souls are free!"

"I don't want to see Werther die, but I will always defend his right to die!"

Henriette was dumbfounded.

She has never seen such a big battle—if she had already feared that the church would object when she finally decided to publish the finale written by Goethe as it is, then she never expected such a battle. Many people took to the streets and openly made enemies of the church.

That's the church!

Antanya breathed out quietly.

This appearance finally has the aura of the Parisian people she was familiar with back then.

The church thought it could always control public opinion in Paris, but it is 1770.

In a dozen more years, people will be able to guillotine kings, queens and countless of the most powerful celebrities and turn this country upside down.

She was immersed in her own little world at that time, and it was not until the last few years that she suddenly discovered the boiling public opinion, but it was too late - theocracy and kingship are like a hazy veil, which once covered the eyes of the public, and later blinded But it is her cognition.

However, it turns out that she was not the only one who was deceived.

Of course, there were also people who saw the flames, and many of them tried to ignite or even manipulate the flames—in the end, most of them were swallowed by the fire, and they themselves were sent to the guillotine.

If it is still the early 18th century, perhaps history has another direction.

But it was too late for her now.Voltaire, Rousseau, and Montesquieu are well known, and the fire has already been planted. No matter who does what, they can only try to modify the time and direction of ignition within a certain range, and it is impossible to extinguish it. .

Now, Antanya thought, it was her turn to try a little more dangerous play with fire.

She said it was dangerous, but she wasn't afraid.

In any case, it won't be worse than her previous life - moreover, in this life, she no longer has any worries or weaknesses.

Antanya poked her head out and said to the coachman, "Please go to Hall Lane, and enter from the side with fewer people."

The carriage went around the square where the crowd gathered, and the driving went much smoother, and they were sent to their destination in ten minutes.

This is the back door of the newspaper office of the Rheinische Zeitung in Paris.

However, just as Antania and Henriette entered the editorial office, they saw a familiar figure.

"We are witnessing history!"

The plump, round-faced man in the red velvet coat exclaimed excitedly, "This is the first time that the people of Paris ... for a literary work, for an idealistic figure, are willing to stand up against the Church." !"

"Friends, let us remember this moment! Many years from now, when people will recall this day, they will say - it was the light of enlightenment that first lit the torch of Prometheus in great Paris!"

"—Huh?" He turned around dancing around, just in time to meet two pairs of staring eyes.

"Good afternoon, Monsieur Beaumarchais." Antanya said before he could speak, "Since you're here... why don't we have a cup of coffee?"

Gallon de Beaumarchais always felt that he was chosen by God and was always very lucky—until he bumped into the princess at the newspaper Rheinische Zeitung, which was criticized by the church, and was invited to sit on the sofa by her.

He was intelligent and well-educated, with a gift for eloquence.

He was born in a watchmaker's family, and at the age of 20, he invented a new watch part, which was recognized by the French Academy of Sciences, and thus won the title of "Royal Watchmaker".The mistresses of His Majesty the King loved the ring watches and pocket watches he made very much, so he was appreciated by the King, and he was even free to enter and leave the Palace of Versailles.

This is not enough.He can play the harp and flute at the level of a performer, and was hired by the king as the harp teacher of the princesses; moreover, he is quite business-minded, so far he has become a small rich man through business, and he has inherited a fortune from his deceased wife. Great wealth and Beaumarchaise—that's the name of an estate.

So he changed his surname to Bo Ma She, proud Bo Ma She!

But these are actually his hobbies.

His real dream is to write—to follow in the footsteps of the enlightened predecessors, write novels, write dramas, and write about ordinary people who are as smart, hardworking and kind as he is under the nobility!

Who said nobles are naturally noble and kind?Many of them have been raised as moths in society, and many commoners are also noble and beautiful existences.

Therefore, when he saw people in Paris surrounding the protest organized by the church spontaneously and speaking out for Werther, he excitedly rushed to the editorial office of the Rheinische Zeitung, intending to contribute an article to them.

Therefore, when he finally found out that the mysterious behind-the-scenes owner of this deviant newspaper turned out to be the king's daughter-in-law, he couldn't help falling into an awkward silence.

"Don't be nervous, Mr. Beaumarche," Antanya said with a smile, "although you killed me..."

"What?!" Beaumarche was so frightened that he was about to bounce off the sofa.

"Oh, no, no," I'm sorry, I slipped my tongue, and I'll start again.

"Although you have a secret that can kill me," Antanya said with a relaxed expression, as if the words did not come out of her mouth, "but I think this just represents my appreciation and trust in you. "

Antalya has the blood of the artistic Habsburg family flowing through her body, and she still loves drama after living in the Palace of Versailles in her previous life. Rowe's Wedding".

Looking back now, she was so innocent at that time that she couldn't bear to look directly at her. She didn't see the sarcasm of the nobles in these two scripts at all, but was deeply fascinated by the love and hatred of all the characters in it, and she was very excited. She organized the theater at Versailles without hesitation—and she starred in it herself.

The result was that performance. She completely offended the nobles in the Palace of Versailles, big and small, and almost made the entire upper class join in a carnival that sent rumors about her to the people.

Probably in the next few years, rumors about her saying "why don't you eat cake?" to people who couldn't afford bread were flying all over Paris, and the anger in the hearts of the people probably finally paved the way for her to go to the guillotine.

However, the past is the past.

To be honest, Antalia still admires Mr. Beaumarchais - unlike some opportunists who just want to take advantage of the people, this idealistic writer really believes in what he believes in, and after the Great Revolution lost control Therefore, he was almost sent to the guillotine, and finally he was rescued in a thrilling manner, but the rest of his life was miserable.

Antanya clearly distinguishes the past from the present.

In her previous life, she knew that he had enough brains and talents.This knowledge should be useful in this life.

Antanya smiled and comforted Beaumarche, who was sitting on pins and needles: "Don't worry, I just want to say, since you are also interested... maybe we can talk about cooperation?"

……

On the day of the Assumption, the protests organized by the church were met with tit-for-tat protests from the citizens. This incident spread quickly throughout the city, and even businessmen who passed through Paris knew about it.

For the people of Paris, if they didn't know about the novel serialized in the "Rheinische Zeitung" before, then if they are no longer curious about it at the moment, it is simply breaking through the limits of human beings.

In the following days, the "Rheinische Zeitung" also thanked Werther and all the enthusiastic readers of the "Rheinische Zeitung" who dared to stand up to the church with passionate writing, and used a lyrical technique that no one has ever seen. The event is called "the first torch lit by the light of enlightenment".

The editor of the "Rheinische Zeitung" seems to have a new one - many readers vaguely feel this way.

Because of this series of topics, the sales volume of this newspaper not only did not decline after the church tried to suppress it, but also increased steadily.People are very curious to know whether Goethe, the author of "The Sorrows of Young Werther", will speak out again after the previous ups and downs.

It's a pity that for a few days in a row, the news in the newspaper didn't seem to be too explosive-but it was still much more interesting than other newspapers.

For example, when the "Française Zeitung" was still reporting what the royal family and nobles said and did at the Assumption Mass, the "Rheinische Zeitung" added an interesting small column "The Economist".

When I opened the column for the first time, the editor specially explained that "economy" means the allocation of resources-in layman's terms, it means how to manage wealth and how to do it best.

This column recorded a piece of news that Her Royal Highness spent hundreds of thousands of livres to buy grain that was almost comparable to the amount of the U.S. granary, and stored it in the granary.

Although this will increase the price of bread in Paris a little, it is still acceptable overall.The paper was accompanied by a short and clear passage explaining how this would help the farmers of the West and the North not to starve because of the bountiful crops - and of course explaining why the bountiful crops and the people who grew them Instead, you will be hungry.

Another piece of news also caught people's attention.

"The Palace of Versailles has started the water source system upgrade and renovation project. Many scholars from the Paris Academy of Sciences participated together. Even His Royal Highness the Crown Prince also joined the technical team... Her Royal Highness also said that if the renovation project goes well, it is expected that Paris will be treated accordingly in the future. Do the same with the city.”

Oh!

It is really necessary to upgrade the water source system of Paris City.

After all, Paris these days is synonymous with mess and mess!

The newspapers during this period of time were relatively calm, as if they were silently waiting for the arrival of a really huge wave——

And that really came soon enough.

On the first day of autumn in Paris, the bell tower of Notre Dame de Paris witnessed people crowding the newsstands under the bell tower.

This is because in the previous day's newspaper, the editor specially announced that the next day, the newspaper would publish the postscript of "The Sorrows of Young Werther"!

Is Werther really dead?

What did he see after he died?

Will it be resurrected?

However, the first person to snatch this newspaper in the entire city of Paris never expected that as soon as he opened the newspaper, what he saw was even more explosive news——

"Shocking! Expose the child molestation scandal in the French Catholic Church!"

"Let's dig deeper and see how these 'messengers of God' act like demons in the guise of angels!"

This shocking event seemed to have wings, and quickly became the focus of debate among almost everyone from nobles to citizens.

Prior to this, Antania arranged for the "Rheinische Zeitung" to acquire two more printing workshops, and the newspapers for this day were fully prepared in advance, and they worked overtime to rush to print.

However, in the end, the newspapers of that day were sold out in the whole city in just half a day.
