Chapter 561 is not magnificent

After taking a closer look at the situation, André left London's largest cinema and left the place alone in a car.

As an important retainer of the royal family, André stayed in London during His Majesty's visit to Windsor, dealing with newspaper and cinema affairs, and by the way, handling the royal family's business in London.

Even though he has entered high society, Andrei is still accustomed to riding in rented carriages, not in his own private carriage.

Someone asked him, why not buy a carriage and hire a groom?

André always smiled and kept silent, raising horses, plus hired grooms, the cost of each month was better than his riding in a rental carriage.

What's more, compared with other nobles and gentry, he didn't have a family coat and surname to show off. Isn't that ridiculous?

Therefore, what he hoped was to be able to get the position of minister, so that he could be rewarded with fiefdoms and titles by the king, so that he could have his own surname.

Of course, if you want to achieve this goal, it is not enough to have ability, it just makes Andre qualified to compete.

For example, Adler, the controller of the Bank of England, is the strongest contender.

Although he was a Jew, he was a Jew who betrayed his religious beliefs, and he had always controlled the Bank of England for His Majesty, and the annual income given to the royal family was comparable to that of the land, accounting for nearly one-third of the total income of the royal family, which was extremely exaggerated.

Therefore, the drama for His Majesty the King on his birthday is just a means for him, and his real gift is still to come.

Riding in front of the largest hotel in London, André walked straight in, and found a balding old man in the crowd of people throughout the hall.

He wears an Italian cape, dark skin, thick arms, and a Mediterranean hairstyle, which stands out to the crowd.

He was looking around, as if observing the largest hotel in all of London.

"Tsk! What a waste, such a good stone, to be built like this, is simply an insult to architecture. André walked in and heard the old man muttering.

"Welcome, Mr. Andrea Palladio!" André spoke softly in Latin in a respectful and polite manner to the annoying old man in front of him.

"Oh! I know! The old man's name was Palladio, and he nodded casually to show that he knew, and then asked softly:

"My dear lord, I have come because you said that there is a world-famous building that I need to design, not because of your thousand pounds!"

The old man Palladio's attitude was more bad, but Andrei did not feel unhappy at all, and his heart was even more excited.

The old man in front of him is one of the most famous architects in Italy, and everyone in Italy knows it.

He has been using the principles of classical architecture to design a series of country houses and city palaces for the nobility of Vicenza, one of the most famous of which is the Villa Capra, also known as the Dome Cathedral, which is a model for the entire architecture of its kind.

He himself is a well-known figure throughout Europe.

In particular, Palladian has always been fascinated by Roman and ancient Greek architecture, so he is also famous for the architectural design of the aristocracy and the royal court.

"Mr. Palladio, please don't be anxious, the reason why I invited you from Italy this time, what I promised will definitely be fulfilled, please wait for a while!"

Andrei didn't care at all, but explained softly with a smile.

"I'm here today, just to take you to see the place, you go to study the evidence in detail, and then draw a few styles, our Majesty the King, you need to refer to it!"

"You, are you saying that I have come this time to build a royal palace for His Majesty Edward?" Palladian stretched out his fingers, his sparse head gradually covered with fine sweat, and his brown eyes shone brightly.

He couldn't believe that His Majesty the King of England would summon him to build a royal palace, so far away, the scale of the royal palace would definitely not be small, and he would definitely show his talents.

"In this case, even if I pass away in the future, if this palace exists, my name will still be passed down among the architects, and it will be difficult to drift away for a long time! And this, I think, is the last masterpiece of my life! ”

André then took the famous architect to several wide locations outside London, where he could put his talents to good use.

André, on the other hand, went to Windsor Castle, a hundred miles away, to meet His Majesty.

"You mean you want me to build a new palace?"

Edward stared at André in disbelief with his azure eyes, as if he was a little incredulous at his thoughts.

"My Andrey, how can you have such thoughts? It was just unexpected! ”

He was very surprised to ask his monarch to build a palace, which was the first time Edward had encountered it since he became king.

"My Andre, although the royal family's finances are gradually becoming richer, they are not big enough to build a royal palace wantonly!"

Edward looked at this little friend who had stayed by his side since he was a child, and then grew up step by step, shook his head, and sighed.

"Your Majesty, I think that your rebuilding of a royal palace is not just a matter for the royal family, but for the entire United Kingdom!"

Seeing a shallow hint of joy in His Majesty's eyes, Andrei knew that he had made the right bet, and His Majesty was not satisfied with the current palace.

So instead of flattering His Majesty Edward as always, he continued to hold on to his own opinions.

"You are now co-lord of England, Scotland, Ireland, Wales, and France, and the guardian of the faith throughout the British Isles.

And the current small and simple palace does not match your rightful status, nor can it show the prestige of the royal family! ”

Andrei stole a glance at His Majesty's impassive face, then continued to bow his head, bend over, and speak in a loud voice.

"Is that what you mean?" Edward asked, narrowing his eyes.

"Of course, it's all my own thoughts!" Although he didn't know what the king meant, André agreed respectfully.

"Very good, you have a good idea!" Edward was very satisfied with this kind of courtier who thought about the king, and this was all said to the bottom of his heart.

If you look at the royal palaces in London, they are either the courtyards of other nobles, or they have been built for hundreds of years, and they are very uncomfortable to live in.

Moreover, his current status surpasses the previous kings of England, and can be called the most powerful and powerful king, of course, there must be a matching royal palace to claim the supremacy of royal power.

At this time, Edward suddenly remembered what Xiao He said to Liu Bang after he built the Changle Palace in history: If it is not magnificent, it cannot be powerful
