There was a knock on the door of Melody's cabin, and it was Ulysses, who also looked bad, as if he might be tossed to the ground at any moment. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

"Put this under your tongue and it will get better." Murong Tao gave Ulysses a piece of ginger, then walked to Melody's bed, looked at Melody who was a little weak, leaned over, and gently stuffed a piece of ginger into his mouth, Ulysses was about to step forward to stop Murong Tao's reckless behavior, but he was also more than capable at the moment, after holding the ginger slices that Murong Tao gave him under his tongue, the spicy taste flowed down the saliva all over his body, and the dizzy feeling just now was mostly better.

It was only after seeing a healthy flush on Melody's face that Ulysses let his guard down.

"We'll be in Pavrere in about three days, and if you're still feeling unwell, go to Bayard and get some ginger, or have him cook you some ginger cereal, just like the last Duke of Loire did." Murong Tao got up as he spoke, preparing to leave.

"Wait... Wait, don't go! McLedi stretched out his little hand and stopped Murong Tao, who pushed the door and left, "Ulysses, I want to talk to Mr. Rudy alone, I'm fine, but I heard that the cereal porridge is suddenly a little hungry, can you go to the kitchen and get me a bowl?" ”

Ulysses naturally has no objection, if this Mr. Rudy wants to murder his own owner, then when the wolf mercenary group besieges the treehouse tavern in such chaos, he can take the opportunity to deal with Melody, there is no need to wait until now.

After the hatch was closed, Melody leaned his back against the pillow with the help of Murong Tao, "Just... What I said just now is true, do you believe that I can do it in my lifetime? ”

What did you just say? Conquest of Guernsey?

"You left me behind just to tell me this unrealistic thing?" Murong Tao did not directly answer Melody's question, but his meaning was already obvious, "If France really has the strength to fight against Britain, Guernsey would have long been part of France's territory." Even in a head-on battle against Britain, France lost more than they won, right? ”

"It's true, and it's impossible for me to refute you." Melody nodded, "Since my father was assassinated on the way to Spain, and I was forced to ascend the throne by those old courtiers at a young age, my influence has become weaker and weaker, but Cardinal Richelieu, as the prime minister, is in charge of the government, and the queen mother is alienated from me, and I am in a very bad situation now." Melody is a 7 or 8-year-old kid, and he can't help but show his true identity at this time, "I'm not called Melody, it's my temporary name, you can call me Louis, everyone calls me Louie." I know Rudy isn't your real name either, right? ”

Although I have long thought of Melody, oh no, it is Louis's identity is not simple, but I didn't expect it to be so shocking, did the French Emperor Louis XIII? This is too unbelievable, if someone else told him this, Murong Tao kicked him off the boat, but he could see that Louis's eyes were so sure, it didn't look like it was fake.

"That's right, my Chinese name is Murong Tao, you can call me Murong, MU-RON!" Murong Tao said.

"In front of outsiders, I'm still Melody, and you're still Rudy, okay?" Louis had a smile on his face, "The reason why I asked Loire to help me get on your ship is to observe you from the sidelines, except for Ulysses and Rival, almost all of my people have ulterior motives, they just covet my throne, or are afraid of my identity, no one can really make friends with me, I hope you will be the first!" ”

"It is an honor, Your Majesty!" Now that people have already identified themselves, they can't pretend to be stupid, and the etiquette they should make is indispensable, although he is not a nobleman.

"As a businessman, you should know how important Indochina is to France, right?" Is this still a 7 or 8-year-old? Could it be that you also crossed over, man? Can you still have fun?

"It doesn't matter if you don't know, it's just that Britain and the Netherlands both set up the East India Company in Indochina, while we in France don't, do you know how I feel?" Louis threw out questions like a bomber, you must know that in history, France also had its own East India Company, but that was decades later, at that time, you probably had hung up, and your son Louis XIV could probably still see it, but how do you ask Murong Tao to say this kind of thing to a child? Do you tell him that you will have to wear braids at most if you live to be in your forties?

Also, even Denmark and Norway established the East India Company decades before France under the authority of King Christian IV, while the establishment of the East India Company by France in India dates back to 1664, due to the assassination of the former Emperor Henry IV, the young Louis XIII ascended the throne, and Cardinal Richelieu became the prime minister, effectively becoming the ruler of the princes who held the Son of Heaven hostage.

In fact, Murong Tao did not have the slightest good impression of these European powers, and if he hadn't been rescued by Franks and others, he wouldn't have plunged into France. If it was an Englishman who rescued Murong Tao at the beginning, maybe he would be living on the British Isle now.

"Looks like you can't understand it either, forget it!" "But my biggest threat at the moment is not from the outside, but from within, Richelieu is powerful, and I'm just a puppet king." Including the Medici family behind the queen mother, they also covet the succession to the throne one by one, you must know my Spanish cousin, right? ”

If Louis was a little depressed when he spoke of his own situation, now his eyes are full of schadenfreude when he mentions his Spanish cousin. As if the weakening of the Spanish Empire's position had done him any good, since the Spanish Empire's Armada suffered Waterloo on the English Isle in 1588, at the end of April this year, the Dutch Commonwealth, known as the Low Countries Rebellion, which had been entangled with the Portuguese Empire for eighty years, would force Spain to sign a 12-year armistice. A Britain that has made Spain struggling, and now that the Dutch Federation is free to develop at a high speed, it will not be long before it will become the second Britain to overwhelm him.

For the Medici, a family that originated in Italy, Murong Tao has some concepts, but he is not really ignorant. As he understood, the family was scheming and engaged in various forms of marriage, and its members served as popes of the Holy Roman Empire and archdukes of the Duchy of Tuscany.

Maybe Murong Tao doesn't have much impression of that Catherine Medici, but Mary Medici is definitely no stranger to the mother in the mouth of the young man in front of him, this French queen, regent, mother of Louis XIII, wife of Henry IV, is definitely not a good man and woman.

"Do you have time to taunt your cousin?" Murong Tao couldn't help but pout, "As you said, your current situation is not optimistic, that cardinal is not only the right to invade the government and the opposition, it is simply unstoppable!" To put it mildly, your queen mother is not a fuel-efficient lamp, and I have heard that you have a younger brother named Gaston, and your queen mother is very tight on your brother, right? ”

"I'm not sure why you know about Gasstone, but the boy is just a year old, and I'm the titular king of France!" Louis disagreed, "Even if the queen mother loves Gaston very much, it is purely normal. ”

"If that were the case, you wouldn't have expressed a hint of dissatisfaction with your mother." Murong Tao said bluntly, "If you still have such an attitude, I don't think I can help you, a king who doesn't even think of potential threats is just a puppet!" ”

Louis was a little unhappy in his heart, since he was born, no one dared to speak to himself in such a tone of teaching, even if the person was valued by himself and intended to be adopted for his own use. But calm down and think about it, although Murong Tao's words were vulgar, they were extremely correct.

Thinking of what the queen mother has done recently, even the mother of an ordinary commoner family treats every child with the same love, why was she born in the emperor's house, but she has never been loved by the queen mother? Even Nicholas Henry, who had been thin since he was a child and was often bedridden, was more favored by the queen than himself.

"Maybe you have a point, I'm in a really bad situation right now, almost embattled." Louis smiled wryly, his fists clenched together unconsciously.

"So, in addition to cultivating your own forces, you also have to win over those big nobles as much as possible, I heard that you have a younger brother?" Murong Tao's hearing is naturally from "Brother Gu", in order to become a thief, he didn't spend less effort in European history.

"You mean Nicholas?" Louis stared at Murong Tao vigilantly.

"Oh, is he called Nicholas?" Murong Tao pretended to be surprised and said, "If you can win over this younger brother, maybe your queen mother will look at you differently, as long as you maintain the relationship with Nicholas, then even if Gaston receives the maternal love poured into your mother, it may not shake your throne." ”

"However, Nicholas has been confined to bed every day since he was born, and there is some gossip from the outside world that Nicholas is likely to die." Louis said this, tears glistening in his eyes, and it seemed that his relationship with this brother was visible.

Indeed, according to the information obtained from Gu Ge, this prince named Nicholas only lived 4 years before he died.
