The Palace of Versailles, the Hall of Mirrors, many mirrors reflect a dazzling light. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 info And here, Xu Qing took Princess Mathilde of France, whose lower abdomen was slightly raised, and there was another person next to him to accompany her. Princess Mathilde is currently pregnant, this is what Xu Qing requested, and only by letting Princess Mathilde give birth to a child can Xu Qing be more at ease.

"Minister Xu Qing, Your Royal Highness the Princess, this is the Hall of Mirrors of the Palace of Versailles, which was built by His Majesty King Louis XIV back then. Although mirrors are not very valuable now, they were still very valuable in those days, so that there were so many mirrors that represented power and wealth. Victor Hugo took the initiative to introduce Xu Qing.

Xu Qing smiled, although he also came to the Palace of Versailles to play before he crossed over. However, for Xu Qing, a diplomat, his memory is more of a thing called the Treaty of Versailles. However, at this time, it is also very good to have a French princess accompany you, and then a world-famous French writer as a tour guide.

"Mr. Victor Hugo, thank you for taking time out of your busy schedule to be my tour guide, this is really a trouble for you!" Xu Qing said.

Victor Hugo was silent for a moment, and then asked: "Minister Xu Qing, I am a literati, not a politician, I speak more straightforwardly, I want to ask you a question, please answer me truthfully." ”

Xu Qing took the initiative to nod and said, "Please speak!" ”

Victor Hugo asked directly: "Minister Xu Qing, I want to ask you, why do you help us so much?" Although I don't have a good impression of the Orleans dynasty, but you helped the Bonaparte family to mutiny, and even cleaned up the aftermath afterwards, what do you want to gain, or what do you China want? ”

Xu Qing was speechless, this Victor Hugo is really straightforward, no wonder this guy can't get along in the political arena. However, Xu Qing also appreciated the character of Victor Hugo to a certain extent, when China was invaded, only Victor Hugo in Europe helped China say a fair word, so Xu Qing despised anyone in Europe, but he would not despise Hugo's character.

Of course, this kind of person is destined to not get along in the political arena. This time, Hugo asked Xu Qing so directly what he wanted, which obviously made Xu Qing a little embarrassed.

"Mr. Victor Hugo, isn't this what I want?" Xu Qing pulled Mathilde and said.

Xu Qing pulled a French Yanma that was almost as tall as himself, obviously looking like a "widow is sick, and a widow is lustful". However, Hugo was obviously very skeptical, and it seemed a bit far-fetched for Xu Qing's reason.

Victor Hugo directly and unceremoniously asked, "Minister Xu Qing, do you think I will believe it?" I don't know much about politics, but I'm not a fool. ”

Mathilde was hugged by Xu Qing, looking helpless. Mathilde knew that he was acting as the link between Xu Qing and the Bonaparte family, and he couldn't help himself. However, Xu Qing, a man, really likes beautiful women very much, especially beautiful women with family backgrounds, and it is best to have their own talents, so that they can rely on women to achieve great things. Such a guy who doesn't want a face makes anyone vomit blood.

However, Mathilde knows that this is also his fate, and he must be sacrificed for the interests of the micro family, which is the case with the daughter of almost every aristocratic family, so although Mathilde does not have the so-called "love" for Xu Qing, Xu Qing is the "least bad" choice.

Xu Qing replied with a smile: "Mr. Victor Hugo, if you don't believe it, then I can't do anything." In short, I am also the same sentence, I like beautiful women, especially beautiful women of noble birth, is this reason not good! ”

Victor Hugo snorted, and then chose to leave, obviously very annoyed by Xu Qing, a diplomat who did not have a word of truth, and left directly.

After Victor Hugo left, Mathilde then said a little coquettishly: "Look at it, you have the great writer Hugo." But how I hope that what you say is true! If you can help France for my sake, then I may be the happiest woman in France. ”

Xu Qing scratched Mathilde's nose and asked, "You should also know that this is impossible!" ”

Mathilde suddenly sighed and said, "Perhaps, I would rather be stupid sometimes, so that I would rather be deceived than know so much." Knowing so much is not necessarily a good thing. The more you know, the more troubles you have. ”

Xu Qing replied again: "Princess, I see that you still haven't liked me, they all say that women are fools in the process of falling in love, you still understand it so well, maybe you still haven't liked me!" ”

Mathilde rolled her eyes and said nothing.

Xu Qing then smiled and said, "Your Royal Highness Princess, do you want to know why I want to help the Bonaparte family and why I want you to be my woman?" ”

"Why? If you just want to be able to get the capital to get promoted after returning home, it's okay to help the Bonaparte family regain the throne, and you don't need to make me your woman, or even ...... Bear you a baby. Mathilde asked.

Mathilde is not stupid, of course she knows that Xu Qing's purpose is definitely not so simple. If Xu Qing only uses France's relationship as domestic promotion capital, this is too much, but Xu Qing married Princess Mathilde, which may have the opposite effect. But Xu Qing still did this, so there was obviously something wrong with this.

"Mathilde, in our China, there is a very old saying, but it is very important. Those who do not seek the overall situation are not enough to seek a domain. Those who do not seek eternity are not enough to seek a moment. The meaning of this sentence is that if you don't consider the big picture and the long term, then you will lose even local and short-term benefits. Xu Qing replied.

Mathilde thought for a moment and said, "Are you thinking about the future?" What are the ideas for this in the future? If you are in your China, no matter how you are promoted, the highest is the prime minister of a country. What's more, if you marry a foreign princess, I'm afraid that the emperor of your country will not be able to make you the prime minister, right? ”

Xu Qing smiled and said nothing, in fact, what Mathilde said made sense, if a courtier married a foreign princess, it was destined to be impossible to become a prime minister. This situation will be repeated in later generations, and if a civil servant marries a foreigner, it will have a great impact on his future. Some public officials in special positions are even more adamant that they cannot marry foreigners, and even if ordinary public officials marry foreigners, their future can almost be said to be ruined.

In fact, in ancient times, an official who married a foreigner, or even married a foreigner, was destined to become the prime minister of a country. What's more, it's a foreign princess, and you can't explain it clearly. Xu Qing's doing so obviously violated the conventions of various countries' political circles.

But Xu Qing still did this, which was obviously abnormal.

"What I want to do is not the prime minister, but the king of a country!" Xu Qing thought to himself.

Although Xu Qing thought so, he would not say it publicly. Xu Qing's current interests are temporarily integrated with the Manchu Qing, and if the Europeans know that Xu Qing is going to be China's usurper, the European countries will inevitably notify the Manchus, and even directly arrest Xu Qing and give it to the Manchus as a meeting gift.

Xu Qing is very clear about his current identity, that is, the highest representative of the Manchu Qing in Europe, and the Europeans give the face of the Manchus, not their own face. Although diplomats represent the face of the country, they cannot take the face of the country as the face of diplomats, otherwise they will die a miserable death!

Mathilde still couldn't understand why Xu Qing did this, but she knew that Xu Qing must have his purpose in doing this. has been with Xu Qing for so long, Mathilde, as one of Xu Qing's pillow people, she knows very well that Xu Qing is extremely cunning, but he also does not fight uncertain battles, Xu Qing is not a fool to do this, he must have his purpose.

Xu Qing then came to take Mathilde's hand and watched in this Hall of Mirrors.

"The Hall of Mirrors represents power. Such a glittering mirror represents the power of Louis XIV in those years. Richelieu worked hard for France all his life, and later Louis XIV survived Richelieu's successor Mazarin, and finally took power, which opened up a career. If there was no Richelieu, there would be no Louis XIV, the Sun King, and there would be no Hall of Mirrors. Xu Qing replied.

Mathilde suddenly said: "It's like, you really look like, it's like Richelieu!" You are as cunning, as cunning, as strategic, as shameless, as far-sighted, and as unscrupulous. You're really similar to Richelieu! ”

Xu Qing nodded and said: "I am in Europe, but I admire two and a half people, one is Richelieu of France, and the other is Palmerston, the foreign secretary of the United Kingdom." As for the other ......"

"Who's the other one?" Mathilde suddenly asked curiously.

Mathilde was very curious, who was this other person, who could make Xu Qing take the initiative to say that he admired, it was by no means an ordinary person. And many times it is possible to judge the style of a person based on who he "admires".

"The other, the other one won't talk about!" Xu Qing replied.

Of course, Xu Qing will not say the other, that is, Bismarck in the original history, but Bismarck in this era is already a student of Xu Qing, and even Bismarck cannot have such brilliant achievements in the original history, because he met Xu Qing.

Richelieu and Bismarck, the same cunning, the same shamelessness, the same far-sightedness, the same unscrupulousness. Richelieu used diplomacy to divide Germany, turn it into a mess, and allow France to truly rise. Bismarck also used cunning and shameless ruthlessness to successfully defeat the feuding France and unify Germany

"They're all good leaders, really good leaders. And I, too, will be such a person! Xu Qing said.

Hearing Xu Qing say this, Mathilde saw the ambition flashing in Xu Qing's eyes, this is the ambition of a real man. Although Xu Qing's methods are shameful, it is obvious that Mathilde has to admire. Richelieu was a real minister, a powerful minister who had all over the world, and even the king was hollowed out. However, he is also a person in French history who cannot be bypassed, whether he is a good person or a bad person, but his contribution to France is incomparable.

"Then why are you helping us so much, France, I know you're not the kind of good guy. Even, I know very well that France will inevitably compete with China in the future, and I don't know how far the competition will go. But it will never be friendly forever, you will let me be your woman when the time comes, what are you trying to do? At that time, your future will inevitably be affected the most. Mathilde asked.

Xu Qing smiled again and said, "Princess Mathilde, if you don't plan for eternity, you can't plan for a while." What I seek now is eternity, and it will be many years from now, what do you say I want to do? I'll let you be my woman, and even let you give me a baby, that's to prepare for the future! Maybe it will be more than 20 years, but I'm ready. ”

Mathilde smiled bitterly and said, "Twenty years, it's really incredible that you have to prepare for twenty years later." It seems that you really want to seek eternity, and your vision is really long-term! However, since I am your woman, I still hope to ask, what do you really want to do? I can't be used by you for nothing, can I? ”

Xu Qing gently blew in Princess Mathilde's ear with a warm breath. Mathilde felt that his ears were itchy, but he didn't dare to dodge, but his face was a little red, and this kind of flirting method made it a little unacceptable even if he was an "old husband and wife" with Xu Qing.

"Princess Mathilde, I think your future must be Her Majesty the Empress of France. As for this child in your belly, hahahaha......" Xu Qing said in a small voice.

Mathilde's face was suddenly shocked, and he couldn't say anything. When she was the Empress of France, this Mathilde had never thought of this! Mathilde didn't want to become the empress of France, but Xu Qing actually said this, which made Mathilde both scared but also heartbeat, this game is too lofty. As for saying that Xu Qing wants the child in his belly, that is, to become a ...... with Xu Qing's child To become the heir of France, how big is this Xu Qing's ambition?

"Hahahaha......" Xu Qing laughed and walked directly towards the front of the Mirror Hall.

Xu Qing was still thinking in his heart: "Those who do not seek eternity are not enough to seek a moment." If I didn't want to better control Europe in the future and solve European problems in the future, how could I get these excellent European girls? Isabella, Mathilde, isn't that the one I'm going to take power over Europe? In the future, the royal families of the world will have my blood, and I will be the 'grandfather of the world'! “
