The bath took a long time to end, and the three flushed women finally dressed Hong Tao, who had wiped his body clean, in a navy uniform painted with gold and silver, and the six buttons were all made of solid pink diamonds of the same size, and there was a golden nursery underneath. What surprised Hong Tao even more was that Jiang Zhuyi actually made him a pair of high riding boots, with silver spurs on the heels of the boots, and he walked with a clattering sound.
"You're not going to let me face it, are you?" Hong Tao doesn't like this kind of costume that is too forced from the bottom of his heart, there are too many fragments all over his body, it looks like a human-shaped jewelry shelf, and he feels like a nouveau riche.
"Don't worry, I tried it on with someone about your size, and I showed it to many nobles here, and they all said that it was good before I dared to take it out for you. Today there is a man you really dislike is coming, he is the king and you are the emperor, I must make my man stronger than him! He is strong in all aspects, and even his clothes are more expensive than him! Jiang Zhuyi's dress today is exactly the same as Hong Tao's, and she actually made a navy uniform for herself. The tops are low-cut and the trousers are tight-fitting, but with the ornaments and the same riding boots, it's easy to see that the two outfits are a collection.
Aya and the black-haired girl named Ariana are also wearing naval uniforms, but the decorations are not so exquisite and valuable, and they seem to be the two servants of Hong Tao and Jiang Zhuyi.
After spending so much effort, who does Jiang Zhu want to take Hong Tao to show off? Hong Tao soon saw the man, who was standing in the middle of a crowd of European nobles, wearing a gold crown on his head and a green cloak embroidered with a crown pattern. Inside was a short silk robe, revealing the white embroidered leggings worn on the legs, and holding a half-meter-long scepter in his hand, and a sleek beard could not be seen on the young and emaciated face.
"What is he doing here?" After Hong Tao saw this person, his small eyes narrowed again. This face he will remember for the rest of his life, he is the Frankish King Louis IX who almost killed himself with the Pope on the outskirts of Paris. Later generations called him Saint Louis!
"Borrow money...... Karl's cousin is going to war with the Holy See and wants to borrow a large sum of money from me. I don't know how to let him know, but he asked Henry III to come forward and have him guarantee it, and he also made the same request for a loan. I couldn't make up my mind, and I couldn't decide on either side, so I had to bring in Carl's cousin and him to ask them if they were borrowing money or if they had some other purpose. It's just so long since you're back, I'll be relaxed now, so you can talk to them later. ”
Jiang Zhuyi whispered to Hong Tao to explain Louis IX's intention. While holding Hong Tao's arm, he walked into the hall on the second floor with his chest up. As soon as the four of them appeared, they instantly attracted countless attentions, including women and men. Hong Tao was also glared at by these gazes beside her, most of them were not so friendly, especially the eyes that came out of those men's eyes, which were not eyes at all, more like lasers.
"Then I don't have to betray my hue, do you?" Hong Tao didn't worry about borrowing money. Instead, he was more curious about Jiang Zhuyi's previous performance.
"He wanted me to be Queen of the Franks...... Refusing in some other way would leave me isolated here, and moving you out would not be my rejection of him. Because you're better than him, he can only hate you, and maybe he'll duel you, hehehe...... I like this custom of theirs......" Jiang Zhuyi finally told the truth, it turned out that she was pulling herself as a shield.
"You don't want to be the queen of the real cards?" Hong Tao licked his lips, this Nima is an old hatred and a new hatred! Good little Louie. Last time, I plotted against Lao Tzu with the Pope, and this time I want to rob Lao Tzu's woman again, dream! This abacus is really shrewd, if Jiang Zhuyi is married, her family property will become a dowry. Even if the previous loan was borrowed in vain, by the way, it also helped the Pope get rid of an important source of income for Friedrich II, and how much benefit did the Pope give you!
"Oh, look who's coming, my friend, your whereabouts are as unpredictable as a school of fish in the sea, if it weren't for Baron Jiang inviting me, maybe you would have slipped away again." However, there were exceptions, and Friedrich II was also present, and he looked at Hong Tao with neither the hostility of a man, nor the frivolity of those noble ladies, but seemed very sincere, as if he was very willing to see Hong Tao.
"No, no, no, don't hug, I'm afraid that you, the poor emperor, will take the opportunity to steal a button from me!" Hong Tao also smiled happily, he still didn't hate this emperor who was more like a scholar, plus he was really good to Carl and gave Carl a lot of help, so he should really be treated differently.
"No, no, no, hug, it's a thank you guy. Thank you for the lepers, but unfortunately you are not a Christian, otherwise you would have been crowned a saint. Friedrich II ignored Hongtao's refusal and came to a bear hug. It's just that in the eyes of outsiders, Hong Tao, who is nearly 1.9 meters tall, is like holding a child, and the two of them are more than a head apart.
"Your Majesty should know better that leprosy is not a plague, and there is no need to accidentally injure too many innocents. Through simple isolation methods, at most one or two years of observation, if there is no disease, there should be no danger. Hong Tao didn't expect that his unintentional actions mixed with selfishness had reached the ears of the emperor, this is a good thing, although he is not a Christian, but he can save Christians, and it will bring some benefits to his not very good reputation. Since they blew up the churches in the city of Rena, and slaughtered so many European knights, the European nobles led by the church did not treat themselves very well.
Hong Tao is not afraid that Europeans will hate him, he doesn't want to cheat Europeans out of their pockets. If it becomes the public enemy of the Europeans before it is done, it will be very difficult to implement this plan. In this matter, Hong Tao deeply felt the xenophobia of Europeans at this time, it was obvious that the war was launched by Friedrich II, but almost no one blamed him, but the basin was all buckled on his accomplice, which was very unfavorable to his financial invasion in Europe.
"Oh!? Will you cure leprosy! Why don't we go to the academy in Naples and study it together? "Friedrich II was not surrounded by many people other than a few nobles of the Holy Roman Empire, at least compared to St. Louis, he was not a legitimate emperor. Obviously, he didn't like to stay here very much, and as soon as he heard Hong Tao talk about leprosy, he immediately wanted to pull Hong Tao away.
"Don't, if I leave, Baron Jiang promises to sink our ship with cannons. This is her territory, we are all guests, let's listen to her. "Hong Tao doesn't like this kind of occasion very much, no one here will tell the truth, obviously hate you to death in his heart, but he still chats with you with a sweet smile on his face, talks about food, and talks about clothes, but he doesn't talk about business, and it is very tiring to pretend to be smiling in this kind of place. But Jiang Zhuyi had already pinched her arm and warned herself not to go with Friedrich II, so don't go, her problem has not been solved yet.
"Oh, Baron Jiang is about to torture Karl crazy, I have never seen such an honest Karl, he actually wears leggings......" Friedrich II saw Hong Tao say this, and also realized how impolite it was for the two emperors to leave the table halfway to Jiang Zhuyi, so he stopped talking about the topic just now, but began to cry out for his cousin.
"Holy! That's Carl? If Your Majesty hadn't reminded me, I wouldn't have recognized it......" Following Friedrich II's gaze, Hong Tao saw a red-haired man with shaved cheeks, smooth and neatly combed hair, dressed like Saint Louis, sitting on the sofa and chatting and laughing with several noble ladies.
Carl also saw Hong Tao at this time, he immediately felt a little unnatural, got up from the sofa, got rid of the entanglement of several noble ladies, strode over, stretched out his hand and pointed at Jiang Zhuyi, and put the responsibility on others.
"Your Majesty...... Just arrived, hehe, she didn't let me go to the pier......"
"Oops...... Let me see...... You are dressed with a bit of aristocratic temperament, and it would be more perfect to put a crown on your head. "Hong Tao really hasn't seen Carl wear this clothes, they all say that people rely on clothes and horses to rely on saddles, and Carl wears this clothes and completely changes his appearance.
"That's what she forced me to wear! She won't let me go to sea, so you better let her go back to the heat, or else this will no longer be a castle of Karl, but a barony's domain! Carl is like a middle school student who has just returned from military training, holding Hong Tao's hand and complaining about his suffering, looking very pitiful.
"The territory is still yours, and it will never change, but it's good that those stinky rats are gone. As for going to sea, you can not listen to her, who can stop you? Hong Tao has no problem with Carl's changes, and if he pays more attention to personal hygiene, Karl Fort will not become a rat's nest.
She ...... She said this is your order......" Carl looked at Hong Tao suspiciously, and then at Jiang Zhuyi, as if he realized something.
"You are too bold to dare to fabricate a holy decree, this is going to kill your head! Not an example! Hong Tao understood, the reason why Carl was so obedient and at the mercy of Jiang Zhuyi was not that he was afraid of Jiang Zhuyi, but that Jiang Zhuyi was falsely preaching the holy decree under his own banner.
"It's his own stupidity!" Jiang Zhuyi accepted the emperor's criticism with a smile, and then made a grimace at Karl.
"Isn't it over as an example? So what about my suffering these months? Carl was disappointed in Hong Tao, and he was counting on Hong Tao to avenge his grievances.
"I give it to you, you can lie to her! As long as it works, you can make her sleep with a bunch of rats every day, hehehehe...... William, am I fair? Hong Tao gave Karl a way to take revenge on Jiang Zhuyi, and licked his face to show Friedrich II.
