Shaking a red wine glass, Nobumoto Hosokawa is slowly decanting wine, a wine that has just been imported from France and is produced in Château Lafite.

"Hmm... Not bad... The color is uniform. Hosokawa Nobumoto held the goblet in his hand, looking at the last touch of the sunset, looking at the sultry red inside, and slightly brown, it looked like an old wine.

"Hmm... Fragrant! Before the wine is eaten, Hosokawa Nobumoto first sniffs deeply in the wine glass, and at this time he can already appreciate the faint aroma of the red wine, the fruity aroma of the new wine is very strong, and this old wine has a deep restraint of this flamboyant personality.

Hosokawa Nobumoto couldn't wait to swallow a sip of red wine, then let the red wine stay in his mouth, roll his tongue twice, and then take a deep breath to fully experience the red wine to his senses, and finally swallow it all, and a faint fragrance immediately lingers in it.

"It's really extraordinary, and the taste is different from that of other estates." Hosokawa Nobumoto is full of praise, and the lafite is fragrant and fruity, mellow and supple, elegant, and is known as the queen of the wine kingdom.

"If the lord likes it, his subordinates should buy this fine wine again." The gift of this bottle of Lafite was Kakukura Ryui, who was now in charge of the voyage trade, and he was the concubine of Yoshida Munekatsu.

"Okay, this bottle of wine should not come easily, right? Heard... It's a turbulent time for France. Hosokawa Nobugen knew that the situation in Eastern Europe during this period was not optimistic. It's the Renaissance era, and extremism of all kinds is emerging.

In France, for example, the reigning king of France is Henry III, the standard profligate and unscrupulous king. Moreover, he likes male pets and has the title of "King of Desserts".

Henry III's mother, but Catherine, who was plump and dressed in black, was sinister and cunning, and was extremely shrewd. In order to maintain the power of the royal family, she ruthlessly threw herself into the struggle for power. Although Catherine controlled the lives of her children and used them as tools to achieve her own political ends, her feelings for Henry III were different.

In fact, there is some kind of ** relationship between their mother and son, which is why Catherine is dedicated to him. Catherine was quite indulgent of Henry III's extravagant lifestyle, and even hosted a carnival banquet for him herself. However, Henry III was completely controlled by male pets, many of whom were in power. In order to please Long Yan, the group of flowery "beauties" fought openly and secretly at the cost of their lives.

Despite Catherine's meticulous "maternal love" for Henry III, she failed to grasp the situation. The wars of religion, the emptiness of the treasury, and the invasion of neighboring Spain put France in jeopardy. Catherine, on the one hand, tried to recover her losses, and on the other hand, implored Henry III to take note of the present dire situation to a greater or lesser extent.

Despite her illness, Queen Mother Catherine continued to travel around France to lobby and try to win public support for the king, but with little success. On the way, she wrote long letters to Henry III, hoping to awaken his sense of crisis. One of them reads: "The situation is much more serious than expected, and I hereby ask you to be economical and to refrain from looting the people's fat and anointment, and a large-scale rebellion is on the verge of breaking out...... Contrary to your words, everyone else is trying to deceive you. ”

But Henry III ignored the advice of his mother, Catherine, who was bitter about it. Henry III messed with the male favorites all day long, how could he pay attention to the persuasion and warnings of the queen mother, and have fun with the male favorites all day long, leaving the fate of the country behind.

Occasionally, however, Henry III regretted his debauched lifestyle. At this time, he transforms himself into a devout religious believer in some grotesque religious occasion—barefoot, robe, and ivory rosary hanging down to his waist, as if in an act of public repentance.

In addition to having fun with male pets and attending regular religious confessional ceremonies, Henry III spared no effort in his family struggle with his beautiful royal sister Margaret. Known to the world as "Queen Margot", Margaret has a strong desire for men, and her private life is extremely disorderly, if she is not the queen of Navarre, she is simply a prostitute who does not charge.

The outbreak of many major events in history is often not as high-sounding as recorded in the history books, and its inside story is often very bloody and inferior.

At that time, Queen Catherine was involved in an assassination attempt against a Protestant leader, which was scheduled for Margaret's wedding to her cousin Henry (King of Navarre). At that time, a large number of Protestants gathered in Paris to celebrate the wedding of the Catholic French princess and the Protestant King of Navarre.

Fearing that her identity in the operation would be exposed, Queen Catherine would trigger a massive Protestant uprising, and together with her son Charles IX (King of France before Henry III), plotted a secret massacre of Protestants.

This bloody event eventually turned into the infamous St. Bartholomew massacre, which became a turning point in France's religious wars and turned into a brutal civil war that lasted for half a century.

And this kind of bloody thing has become the talk of Hosokawa Nobumoto after dinner, and Smart Pill and others were dumbfounded when they heard it.

"I didn't expect the lord to even know this!" Kakukura was also shocked, he was in charge of overseas trade, so he naturally came into contact with some Eastern European people, but he only knew that France was now in civil strife, but he didn't know that there was such a secret thing.

"Hehehe... There, but the green hat is running all over the street, ** is not a problem. Ah, maybe you can go there and hook up with a noble beauty. Hahaha! Hosokawa Nobumoto said half-jokingly.

"Hahaha!" The people on the side also echoed and laughed.

"Hmm..."Hosokawa Nobumoto looked at their stiff smiles and the restraint of the ministers around them, knowing that he was here to prevent them from playing freely.

"Okay, you guys can have as much fun as you want, I'll leave it to you later, and let the venue be let out, and let Noh perform on stage." Hosokawa Nobumoto clapped his hands, stood up, and prepared to leave here, sometimes the strong have to adapt to loneliness.

"Congratulations to my lord!" When the ministers saw that Hosokawa Nobumoto was leaving, they stopped eating in their hands and bowed down.

"Hmm." Hosokawa waved his hand casually, left the central platform, and went to the castle tower to rest.

"Next, a master of Noh will perform on stage!" Senchomaru served as the imperial food to entertain the guests, which made the retainers feel even more cordial.

"! Drink! Hahaha! As soon as the lord left, everyone let go of their restraints, and some people who wanted to be good to each other began to gather around a table and drink and have fun.

Odawara Castle is spent singing and laughing on the sidelines.

On the lookout tower of the castle tower, there is a man looking into the distance with his hands behind his back.

There, it's the direction of the Michinotsu Tsugawa house... Still struggling with the latest chapter you can't find? Amway One or search for Hot/Degree/Net/Article "Remember to remove "/"Otherwise you won't be able to search", here is a young lady to help you find books and accompany you to chat!
