Chapter 8: The Duel (6)

Jacques mentioned by Ding Yi. Morality. Morlay was the last Grand Master of the Knights Templar before it was rebuilt. Before he died, he cursed King Philip IV and Pope Clement V, saying that they would face eternal judgment within a year. Pope Clement V fell ill and died a month later, and Philip IV, the "beautiful man", died suddenly while hunting half a year later.

The cardinal and his companions, of course, could not have been unaware of this allusion.

"No, I'm not going to curse you." Ding Yi smiled and shook his head.

"I ask you to stay because I want to tell you, and even though you tell me that the Holy See has canonized me, I don't know if God likes you or not; What I don't understand is why you, a godly man, are not favored by the Lord to go and wait at God's side. I thought, if I were really a saint, then maybe God would sense my doubts—after all, if it was all-pervasive, omniscient, omnipotent, as the scriptures say. Excellency. ”-

Excellent-You-Small-Say-More-New-Most-Fastest-WWW.UUXS.CC-This is a threat of the red fruit, no matter how much Ding Yi expresses it in a gentle tone, no matter how much he shows his eight teeth, it will not change the essence of it, and no one will misunderstand or mishear it--Isn't it death to be favored by the Lord and go to God's side to wait?

In the following activities, Louis XI accompanied Ding Yi on a tour according to etiquette, and after a meal together→ he also invited Ding Yi to stay in the palace. Although neither the Louvre nor the Palace of Versailles were built in this era. Although the palace is compared to the imperial city of Huaxia Jingshi, Ding Yi thinks that it is not at the same level. Regardless, the palace is much more elaborate than the rest of Paris.

Dante declined the offer and stayed in one of the hotels that Paris has gained fame in recent years, the Hôtel de Toin.

"Poseidon wanted to scare off Mehmed II with blood. didn't know that he was exposing his shortcomings because of this. Louis XI was helping him change his clothes. Speaking to the visiting cardinal, "Mehmed II was not one to be deterred by blood. Alas, he was playing with fire. ”

But the cardinal still had some timidity in his eyes: "Yes, it is indeed as you said. But, with all due respect, if that majesty really has any divine powers...... this is what he cares about, because Ding Yi gave him a curse under the waiting of a crowd outside the city.

There are many legends about Ding Yi, and among them, the statement that Ding Yi has divine powers and spells is undoubtedly the most numerous.

It is said that it is by virtue of divine power and magic. It was only when Muhammad II suffered that Egypt was taken down by him and given to his wife. If the cardinal wasn't nervous, that's hell.

"Divine power?" Louis XI laughed disdainfully, and he even sarcastically mocked the cardinal, "He is not a god, how can he have divine powers?" Poseidon is just a nickname, does the bishop think that he is really Poseidon living in the world? The accusation was so sharp that it could even be pushed to the point where the cardinal had violated the commandments. There is a suspicion of idolatry.

However, the bishop did not show any anger, but breathed a sigh of relief, as if confirming that Ding Yi did not have the divine power he feared, and that it was an extremely strict thing. He drew a cross on his chest, then made a few more small talks with Louis XI before taking his leave.

"Poseidon's skills. Maybe it's just by bragging, spoking this kind of guy out, right? Louis XI looked at the cardinal's departing back. chuckled, and said to his attendant, "Send some men to protect this guy." In case Poseidon sends killers. Also, keep an eye on the Toin Hotel! ”

At this point, Louis XI became angry: "What a shameful thing! Why do you have to poop on the welcome steps! Did you see Poseidon's face when I invited him to stay in the palace? Oh, God! "In fact, it is not only the grand welcome steps that have excrement on them, but almost every stone in the corridors of the palace is full of filth.

"Isn't there a clean place in Paris, not even the Palais Royal, except for the Hotel Doin?" Louis XI was furious, and even though he was called the almighty spider, there was nothing he could do about it. In fact, it was not only he who was helpless, but the kings of France who came after him also faced the same distress.

About a hundred years later, the king of France had to order the palace to be cleaned before getting up; But about a hundred and fifty years later, Crown Prince Henry IV was still defecating in front of the wall in his room. Cao Jixiang's great-power chauvinism did not come out of nowhere. Compared with Huaxia Jingshi, Paris, France definitely deserves these three adjectives: poor, ignorant and dirty.

Paris is a city of smells, which is why Ding Yi refused to stay in the palace

This is the fundamental reason why the Hotel Duin has become famous in Paris - it is located just outside the city of Paris, it does not use the water of the Seine, which provides drinking water for the inhabitants of Paris, but the sewers that drain the excrement lead to the Seine. In addition to arranging for water trucks to obtain clean water from the mountainous areas, there are also wells to obtain groundwater.

The Duyin Hotel in Paris is synonymous with nobility and cleanliness, and every guest who enters the restaurant or accommodation must sign a document guaranteeing the use of the hotel's beautifully decorated toilets. Otherwise, their deposit will be deducted substantially.

Why is the Toin Hotel able to drill multiple wells calmly? Because they have steam engines.

Isn't it worried that doing this, and forcing customers to follow hygiene rules will make it no business?

No, Toin Hotel doesn't care if there is a business or not.

That's right, the Duyin Hotel is a business owned by Dingjiadian Pù, and the entire hotel is not only three stories high, but also two floors underground. Its design drawings, the sketches of the first draft, were written by Ding Yi. If necessary, the hotel can be converted into a military fortress in a very short time.

The Duyin Hotel is very large, and in order to get this piece of land, the person in charge of the Ding family's shop in Paris paid a lot of money to buy this place from the hands of the nobles. And in the Duyin Hotel, Ding Yi and his entourage, as well as the soldiers of the entire guard regiment, were dining, even though Ding Yi and his entourage had just returned from Louis XI's state banquet. In fact, there was no one at the banquet who had the heart to enjoy the dishes that the French considered a delicacy.

When everyone put down the cutlery in their hands, almost with Ding Yi, everyone else was complaining about the city of Paris.

"In the barbarian capital, there are no paving stones on the streets!" Cao Jixiang did not miss any opportunity to laugh at the unbearableness of other countries and show his sense of superiority as a great power, "Look at this street, it is narrow and potholes, and you can't even get sunburned!" And Zhao Di on the side nodded in agreement.

She was sent to Ding Yi's side by the health center mainly for epidemic prevention needs, and she was more angry than Cao Jixiang about the health problems in Paris: "The ground is full of human feces, rotten water, garbage, horse manure, pig feces, chickens, ducks and goose feces!" and their filth was trampled into mud. And what makes her even more incredible is that in the French capital, "most of the neighborhoods have no place to change clothes, and pedestrians are easy to get around." A large number of sheep, pigs and other domestic animals, as well as cattle and horses pulling carts, excrete wantonly! ”

"Don't say it's the capital division, it's the county seat of Huaxia, and it's not like that!" This is the conclusion of Lieutenant Zhaodi.

Indeed, in the county seat of China, there are always stone paving roads, and there is the convenience of the open air, so it will not be like this.

What's more: Europeans don't know how to use manure, and the Chinese know this!

"Don't complain, you should be glad that it was in these decades that Westerners have used forks." Ding raised the fork with only two sharp points in his hand and said to Cao Jixiang, "Before that, commoners used their whole hands to grab food and eat, while nobles were more clever than commoners, they only used three fingers. ”

In the laughter of the staff officers and guards around him, Ding Yi knocked on the table to calm everyone down.

"Don't always laugh at the backwardness of Paris, but see that Abelard, who put forward the 'probability theory', is a Frenchman, and Dante and Boccaccio are also Europeans. Dirty Europe, with many brilliant ideas. ”

Cao Jixiang immediately took out his notebook and pencil and wrote down the names that Ding Yi said.

As soon as Ding looked at it, he asked Cao Jixiang, "Did you find Leonardo, who asked you to send someone to look for last time?" ”

Cao Jixiang immediately flipped through the book, stopped on a certain page, and reported to Ding Yi: "Your Majesty, Leonardo. Advance. Del piero. Reach. Finch, according to the return news, the men sent by the old slave did not find him in Finch Town. "Leonardo. Advance. Del piero. Reach. What Finch means, is actually Finch Town Mercer? Piero's son - Leonardo.

However, he got the news and traveled to a city called Philemerald. The men sent by the old slave have already marched towards that city, and there is no further news for the time being. ”

Ding nodded, looked at the staff officers beside him, and he made an impromptu speech:

"We're going to Paris, yes, the smelly city."

"There is no point in ridiculing the backwardness of Europe. We need to see that the oppressed toiling masses of Europe"

"Go to Paris, walk into the filthy bars, walk into the laneways where the sun doesn't shine."

"To spread our ideas, to develop our comrades, to teach them that all suffering comes from exploitation, from the aristocracy who do not work hard."

"Perhaps the day in Paris still belongs to Louis XI, and perhaps the high society of Paris still belongs to the king; But the night of Paris, the poor masses of Paris, can belong to us. Let this city, be our city, let the poor of this city, be our comrades. ”

"Paris, London, Rome...... We still have a lot of work to do, and no, we don't need an inch of Paris. ”

"We want to be a beacon, yes, a beacon to lead the people at the bottom in this dark century."

When Louis XI and his allies were planning how to get Ding Yi to the dueling ring, Ding Yi had already begun to draw his knife. (To be continued......) R752
