Chapter 35: Parade of the French Army
When he got up during the day the next day, Xu Qing finally got up with this French Yanma Mathilde, and he knew that he had received a French Yanma again, and he had a basis for cooperation with the Bonaparte family. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 infoXu Qing paid to help the Bonaparte family restore the French throne in the future, and then the Bonaparte family will also repay the favor in the future, using the relationship with Xu Qing as political capital to help Xu Qing rise in China.
As for this Mademoiselle Mathilde of the Bonaparte family, that is, the woman who became Xu Qing, it can be regarded as a marriage between them. So from now on, this Miss Xu Qing Mathilde will also become Xu Qing's woman.
Xu Qing and Mathilde got dressed, and at this time, a waitress from the hotel where Xu Qing was staying soon walked in.
"Minister Xu Qing, our majesty the king invited you to the banquet, huh? Miss Mathilde, are you here too? ”
The waiter was surprised at first how Mathilde was here, but soon he smelled the faint smell in the air, and then added that Mathilde was obviously happy, and he didn't know what was going on. As a state guesthouse, many powerful and wealthy people lived here, many of them nobles. The things in these nobles, that's called a mess! So although these waiters were surprised, they were not surprised.
"Who said the Chinese are conservative? What a rumor, a rumor, it's only the first day, and I'm sleeping with our French woman! The waiter complained in his heart.
Xu Qing took Mathilde's hand, and then said, "Hehe, I can take the first drop of your Princess Mathilde's blood, that's also my honor!" ”
"What is the first blood? I had a fall and bleed when I was a child, and it wasn't just once, how could it be the first drop of blood? Mathilde didn't quite understand.
Xu Qing didn't say much, this statement is not popular yet, but this does not prevent Xu Qing from taking Mathilde to the Tuileries Palace in France, that is, the royal palace of the Orleans dynasty.
Xu Qing's action of holding this Mathilde made many French nobles also show a speechless demeanor.
"This Chinese Minister Xu Qing, but he is really powerful, he just came to our France and got our French woman into bed?" "Did you hear that? This Mathilde was the princess of the Bonaparte family, but she was actually taken away by a foreigner? "Really, actually cheaper than a Chinese?" ……
These French guys are very dissatisfied with Xu Qing, because although the Bonaparte family no longer has the throne, they still have a lot of influence in France, so many women in the Bonaparte family will still regard them as princesses. Xu Qing just came to France, and he got the princess into bed, so who doesn't envy it?
After all, Xu Qing is a foreigner, and foreigners come to their own territory to rob it, which is very annoying. After all, if it is snatched by people in your own country, the nature is completely different. was snatched away by outsiders, and everyone will have the idea of "hatred and hatred".
However, all this did not affect Xu Qing, he came to the Tuileries Palace, but he saw more than 1,000 French Army soldiers outside the door, waiting for a very serious battle.
Xu Qing looked at these French soldiers, all of them were extremely strong, and they were definitely not those honor guards. According to common sense, since Xu Qing was invited to the banquet by King Louis Philippe of France, it was impossible for so many fierce soldiers to greet him outside the door. But the king of France actually brought so many discriminatory and fierce soldiers, and it was obvious that he was about to dismount.
......Those elite French soldiers lined up outside the door, as if showing the deterrent power of the army.
Xu Qing whispered: "This King of France, is he actually going to give me a horse?" ”
Mathilde smiled and said, "Not only did you curse him for being overthrown by the revolution a few years later, but you even gave that lecture on "Duty, Honor, Country" in front of my uncle's mausoleum, and I am afraid that His Majesty will hate you to death." This time, I'm going to deter you! ”
Of course Xu Qing knows what this means, this banquet is probably a Hongmen banquet! This time, the French invited him to come over to participate, it was definitely a Hongmen banquet, and he deliberately came to make things difficult for himself! Who made Xu Qing curse in Spain that this France would break out and Louis Philippe would be overthrown by the revolution?
What's more, yesterday, Xu Qing's speech made the French people have a good impression of Emperor Napoleon again, and even enhanced Napoleon's prestige among the French. In this way, many French people also have a great impression of Xu Qing, and even the Bonaparte family will restore the throne in the future, which will be of great help. Under such circumstances, the King of France was very angry, but in Xu Qing's status as a Chinese diplomat, he did not dare to do anything to Xu Qing, after all, diplomatic immunity still had to be observed.
However, it is also necessary to show deterrence, let Xu Qing be deterred, and don't open your mouth casually.
"Hongmen feast? It's not like I haven't experienced it, I don't believe you dare to be rude to me! Xu Qing snorted coldly in his heart.
Xu Qing is sure that if this France really wants to be rough with her, there will be no Hongmen banquet. Since the other party has made this Hongmen banquet, it just shows that the French dare not be rude to him as a diplomat, so they will use this kind of deterrence.
Xu Qing let go of Mathilde's hand, and then came alone in front of the team of more than a thousand fierce French soldiers. However, there is no fear on his face, this kind of Hongmen banquet is really low-level, and it will simply not be in the stream in the future life. These French infantry and cavalry were mixed together, apparently to deter Xu Qing.
Xu Qing came to the front of the queue and said loudly in French unhurriedly: "Your Majesty the King of France, since His Majesty the King has asked the foreign ministers to come to inspect your country's honor guard, the foreign ministers are honored. Please also ask Your Majesty to accompany the review, the foreign minister is honored! ”
When the French King Louis Philippe and the nobles at the other end of the line almost vomited blood, when did they say that they invited Xu Qing to review? This time, it was actually Louis Philip who used it to deter Xu Qing, but Xu Qing actually beat him upside, and instead said that Louis Philip invited him to review the honor guard. I'll go, is this a guard of honor? This is the elite of the army, not a flashy honor guard!
Besides, even if it's a review, you can't invite the king to accompany you! What kind of green onion are you, you are just a Chinese minister to Europe, although you represent the emperor and the head of state, but you are not the head of state! If you want the king to accompany you, then at least you are also the head of state! You are a minister, even if you represent the monarch, then you are not the monarch after all, why should you let the king of France accompany you on the parade?
However, you actually opened your mouth, which made King Louis Philippe of France sit on wax.
"Your Majesty, what should I do? He actually invited you to accompany the review, what should I do? "Your Majesty, what kind of thing is he, who dares to invite you to accompany the review?" "What is he?"
However, a nobleman named Victor Hugo next to him said, "Your Majesty, I think you should go and accompany you to the review, right?" Otherwise, if it continues to delay like this, we in France may be suspected of mistreating state guests! ”
This French member of the House of Lords named Victor Hugo is a writer, and he has always been very interested in the civilization of Eastern China, and this time he accompanied the Chinese Minister Xu Qing, which was also an opportunity, and he was also interested in contacting the Chinese Minister Xu Qing. This time, he also took the initiative to speak for Xu Qing, hoping to solve this matter as soon as possible.
Louis Philippe also felt that he had no idea at all, and he was also very waxy at this time, in case of delay, France would have a reputation for treating foreign guests badly, so he had to follow Xu Qing's idea.
Xu Qing saw Louis Philippe coming over, and took the initiative to say: "Your Majesty, thank you for accompanying me to review the guard of honor of the French army, please!" ”
Although Xu Qing said "please", he took the first step, which made Louis Philip scold in his heart, but he could only keep up with Xu Qing's pace. But herein lies the problem, because this is a solemn diplomatic occasion, and even the king does not dare to run quickly, but only slowly.
Xu Qing deliberately took the first step just now, and as a result, Louis Philip, the king, was one step slower. The step is slow, the step is slow, and the result gives the impression that Xu Qing is walking in front, but Louis Philippe, who is the king, has been accompanying him behind. But Louis Philippe did not dare to speed up, which was also very humiliating. As a result, there was this illusion, as if Xu Qing was the boss and Louis Philippe was a subordinate.
"Oops?" Victor Hugo shook his head, very speechless about this king.
Xu Qing came to the queue of the French cavalry of the troops, and the French cavalry quickly drew their swords suddenly.
"Click!" With a neat sound, the French cavalry drew their cavalry swords at the same time.
Xu Qing knew that this was a deterrent, but Xu Qing still walked in front as if nothing happened, and King Louis Philippe of France was not so relaxed.
Louis Philippe did not think that he would also be "forced" to accompany the review, so it was too late to change the "script". At this time, the French cavalry still followed the previous "script", and when Xu Qing came to the front of the cavalry, they drew their swords to deter. But Xu Qing was not deterred, but Louis Philip, who was not prepared in the slightest, was taken aback, and his face was pale and shocked.
As a result, Louis Philippe paused, but was pulled further away by Xu Qing.
"Hey, what a shame!" Victor Hugo really felt embarrassed about this Louis Philippe.
Louis Philippe's ugliness soon came out, and he quickly accelerated his speed to catch up and avoid "falling behind" too much. Xu Qing still walked forward casually, and soon came to the area of the French infantry.
"Click!" According to the previous "script", when Xu Qing came to the middle of the French infantry queue, the French infantry began to perform the corresponding ceremonial exercises.
"Bang Bang Bang ......"
The French infantry suddenly fired into the air, and according to normal etiquette, there was no such thing as shooting. But in order to deter Xu Qing, this link was added, hoping to make Xu Qing suddenly startled when he encountered such a dense gunfire when he was unprepared.
It's a pity that Xu Qing had already been prepared and was not frightened. On the contrary, Louis Philip, who had just been chased by the cold blades of the cavalry and had just arrived at the ranks of these musket infantrymen, suddenly heard a dense burst of gunfire, and was immediately frightened and fell to the ground.
"Shhhh......h
Many French people are very speechless about their own king, obviously you want to intimidate others, but you are full of ugliness.
The French aristocrats, including Victor Hugo, also blushed and were ashamed of this.
"This is the worst king I've ever seen!" Victor Hugo scolded in his heart.
Xu Qing saw the ugliness of this Louis Philippe, and then took the initiative to turn around and reach out to help Louis Philippe, and asked knowingly: "Your Majesty, what's wrong?" ”
Louis Philippe still wanted to save face, and said: "Minister Xu Qing, I am old, after all, I have passed the age of seventy, and my legs have been weak recently, and I am a little uncomfortable. ”
Xu Qing pretended to be surprised and asked loudly, "What's wrong?" Your Majesty, seeing that you were still old and strong just now, why did you have weak legs? It seems that you are deficient in calcium! Your Majesty, you should take calcium supplements! If you don't take calcium supplements, your Majesty will not be able to straighten your spine by then? At that time, others will still think that France is a country that cannot afford to stand upright, so how embarrassing it is for Napoleon the Great! ”
Those French nobles and soldiers also blushed, this French king was so embarrassed, he was actually frightened by the "plot" arranged by himself, it was really embarrassing.
Xu Qing helped Louis Philippe to walk forward, not enough This time everyone knows that this time Louis Philippe was a real rape that was not successful, which made the French nobles lose a lot of face. After all, the king of France represents this country, is the supreme representative of this country, and if he loses face, that is, the whole country loses face.
As for the back, Xu Qing also deliberately harbored evil intentions, saying that he really lost the face of Napoleon the Great. This is deliberate, deliberately so that Napoleon is simply a heaven and an earth compared to this Louis Philippe!
Hearing Xu Qing's words, many people also recalled the time when Napoleon ruled, when France was the most dignified, how could there be such a rice bucket king?
Finally accompanied Xu Qing to "review" and complete the French army, Xu Qing once again took the opportunity to say, "Your Majesty, in the future, you must drink more bone broth and supplement more calcium!" Otherwise, it's really embarrassing to see that you will have weak legs when you see guns! ”
"Are you finished?" Louis Philippe thought angrily, but in the public here, he was not angry, and he had to endure it when he was angry.
