Chapter 224: Paris Saves Beauty
Chapter 224 [Paris Saves Beauty]
Richelieu was well aware that Empress Anne might have ruined their plans, and that Anne was a Spaniard and that it might be bad to keep it. So I was going to think of a way to frame Anne and get Louis XIII to divorce her.
Richelieu was very good at intrigues. In 1630, the famous "April Fool's Day Incident" occurred in France: the Queen Mother Marie cried to Louis XIII that Richelieu was a ruthless villain and demanded that the king dismiss him. It was the 11th of November, and Marie mistakenly thought that Richelieu had lost her old favor. As a result, the Queen Mother was exiled to Compiègne, the Minister of the Seals, Mariac, was imprisoned, and the royal brother Gaston was convicted of great disrespect. That's how April Fool's Day in France came about.
When he spoke of these things, Richelieu was smug. In France was his world, and Louis XIII had no talent and could only rely on him. And Louis XIII did not dare to show his dissatisfaction. Richelieu was stronger than him, and he was extremely prestigious in France, and it was not impossible to usurp power.
It will not be easy to get rid of the Anne Frank Palace. Louis XIII doted on her. Richelieu spoke of his problem, and Aobai proposed: "It's simple. If the queen has any dealings with the nobles of other countries, arrange for them to meet once, steal a piece of jewelry that the queen often wears, find a way to get it into the hands of that person, create a scandal for the queen, and then propose to the king to send someone to organize a court ball, so that the queen can wear the jewelry that the king gave her. As long as she can't take it out, the king will assume that the queen is having an affair. If such a thing spreads all over Europe, will she still be able to sit in the position of queen? β
The interpreter finished talking about Aobai's plan, and Richelieu clapped his hands. "Taifu, you can think of such a plan casually, it's really powerful."
"It doesn't take a lot of brains to come up with this idea. In the Ming Dynasty, my enemies are dead, and my friends are already prosperous. Ao Bai smiled.
Actually, the idea was the one that Dumas had in mind, not him. The villain in the book "The Three Musketeers" is Richelieu. The Queen's old lover, the Duke of Buckingham of England, was in love with her, and the Queen gave her a diamond pendant to express her remembrance. The bishop then took advantage of the deed and repeatedly slandered the king, asking the king to send someone to organize a court ball, so that the queen could wear the diamond pendant that the king had given her. The queen was overwhelmed by the approaching date of the ball, but fortunately her henchmaid Bonaser managed to ask d'Artagnan and the three musketeers to help. D'Artagnan fell in love with Bonaasse at first sight, and hated to see each other late, so he agreed to come down regardless of his personal safety, and with the full support of his three friends, the four of them went separately to England. After a tortuous and bizarre ordeal, only d'Artagnan arrived as scheduled, explained the reason to Buckingham, and retrieved the diamond pendant in time, relieving the queen of her urgent needs and crushing the cardinal's conspiracy.
But in reality, no one helps the queen, she is more than lucky.
Richelieu wanted to take care of the internal affairs of France, so Ao Bai took the three ladies and Li Yan and Hongyan to tour Paris under the leadership of the captain of the bishop's guard and the interpreter.
They were temporarily separated from the flotilla. Most of the Ming army rested in Marseille and did some business. And under the arrangement of the French, they found a place to stay. In order to facilitate the movement of the Ming army in Europe, the Dutch also prepared to cede two islands in the Mediterranean Sea to allow the Ming army to rest and recuperate.
Their generosity made Ao Bai a little embarrassed. However, after thinking about it, in the future, if Japan is ceded to the Europeans as a stronghold, the Europeans will be able to get enough in return. Japan can then be turned into a commercial island for trade with Europeans.
After walking for a while, they saw a group of people in a circle, not knowing what they were watching.
Li Yan is a lively person, although he doesn't understand the language, he still leans over. What he saw was not a juggler or a seller, but a man beating a young girl in a yellow dress with his braids.
Li Yan is a very strange person, he can kill people, but he never kills women, he is simply a friend of women, a feminist idea, and asked the reason when chatting, Li Yan only said that it was related to his childhood, and he thought that women were kind and loving. Men are bastards, including himself.
Therefore, he is not used to seeing women being beaten. Although in terms of his aesthetics, European women are not beautiful.
The man waved the whip in his hand, and suddenly he couldn't pull it out. Li Yan stepped forward and grabbed the whip head. He pulled hard, pulling the seemingly strong man to the ground.
The man was a standard French aristocrat. He said a few words that Li Yan didn't understand, and a group of guards rushed up. surrounded Li Yan. The group was a little surprised to see that he was from the East.
The nobleman cried out, "Kill him." What are you still doing? β
The palace interpreter and the captain of the guard who led Ao Bai and the others to play just wanted to step forward to stop him, but Ao Bai said lightly: "Wait a minute, he has long wanted to try the kung fu of your country, if he stops it, he will be unhappy." β
Then he shouted at Li Yan: "Lightly attack, it's okay to be injured, don't kill." β
After listening to the translation, the captain of the guard hurriedly said: "Taifu, Master Li is now surrounded by more than 20 people, how can he win the battle?" Not many people know about your visit to Paris, and they really do kill people. β
Ao Bai smiled: "If someone can threaten his life, I think he will only be happy." It's very common for our masters there to reach a hundred. β
The French guards drew their crossed swords, which were their weapons. The sword is long, slender, lightweight, and suitable for slashing. But Li Yan was very disdainful of this weapon, he could see at a glance the shortcomings of this weapon, which was easy to break. He didn't rush to draw the knife, and the first action was startling. He slammed his white blade into his bare hand and grabbed the long sword that the other party had stabbed. With a twist of his hand, he broke the sword from it. Half of the tip of the sword was thrown to the side, stabbing a man in the shoulder and piercing through.
As soon as he turned around, he dodged the sword momentum of one person, and still did not draw his sword, but only put two sharp finger sleeves on his fingers. As soon as Ao Bai saw his actions, he knew what he was going to do.
"Bad news, a lot of people here are crippled."
Li Yan pulled out his waist knife with his other hand. Resisted the sword strikes of many people, while defending, he walked around everyone, flashed to one person, poked his two fingers into the shape of a sword, and immediately dodged away after a break, and one person fell to the ground. Every time he left a person's side, that person fell to the ground, and a small extra rib on his finger would appear. No one who has practiced the iron cloth shirt can prevent his hand, let alone these people in France who have not practiced hard skills. After a while, more than a dozen people fell on the ground, and the injuries were all in the same position. This is a cruel method that he practiced after studying with Aobai, and after combining Crane Shape Fist and Shaolin fingering.
The guards were startled and shouted in French, "Black-eyed devil." β
The translators hurriedly stepped forward to stop him, but the nobleman took a musket and fired a shot at Li Yan, hitting him in the chest. Li Yan took half a step back, threw the knife out, and plunged it into the man's thigh. The man screamed and fell, but Li Yan did not fall.
With this shot, the palace guards and interpreters were all stupid, but Li Yan just covered his chest and rubbed it a few times. sighed: "**, it still hurts." I thought I was close to the tenth floor and should be fine if I was hit by a musket. It is still dangerous to block flintlock pistols at close distances. β
Hongyan rubbed his chest in the past and said distressedly, "Can you stop doing such dangerous things in the future?" Taifu Kung Fu is also very good, he doesn't do much with people. β
Ao Bai really rarely takes action in person, and his current identity and status really don't need to take too many risks. He asked, "What's the matter with that woman?" β
The interpreter asked the people around him, and it turned out that the girl had stolen something from the baron's house. The injured nobleman was Baron Kinora, which is why there was such a scene.
Li Yan said: "Damn, isn't it just stealing?" I think the people here in France are very open, and even the queen commits adultery, so there is no need to fight to death for this little thing. β
"Rub, I made it up, this stealing is real. Don't be so loud, there are still people who can understand Chinese. Ao Bai whispered in his ear.
Ao Bai looked at the girl, her clothes were badly damaged, but there were no scars on her face, and he was startled when he saw her face, almost thinking that he had seen Scarlett Johansson.
Ao Bai asked the captain of the guard of Richelieu to come forward to explain the matter, and this girl, they were saved.
The distribution of wealth and poverty in France is extremely unequal. The wars between France and England and Spain made the whole society extremely turbulent, the rich class was only religious and military, and the ordinary people lived in extreme poverty. In such a society, many people can only do a lot of immoral things in order to make a living, and stealing in order to survive is forgivable, just as cannibalism occurred during the famine in Shaanxi in the Ming Dynasty, what is stealing? Her misfortune is a microcosm of society and the responsibility of society as a whole.
Baron Kinola heard that the other party was a big man from the Ming Dynasty, a guest of the Bishop of Richelieu. And it's a demon-like existence, the musket can't be killed, let alone revenge, he is so scared that he doesn't even dare to speak.
The French girl came over and thanked Li Yan and Ao Bai repeatedly. She returned the stolen belongings, was beaten in vain, and limped to leave. Ao Bai said to Li Yan: "You saved people, are you helping people to the end." Give her some money, right? β
"Shouldn't you come forward to give money?" Li Yan said lightly.
"But I think she has a better impression of you."
"Dude, this woman is so ugly. I don't want to have anything to do with her. β
Scarlett Johansson-looking people actually think ugly, when will the aesthetics of the East and the West be the same? Ao Bai shook his head, stepped forward, stopped the girl, and put a bag of silver into her hands. The girl was flattered, but did not refuse his alms, and it seemed that she really needed the money.
Su Meng'er looked at Aobai, shook her head and said, "Husband is kind-hearted, I hope I don't have anything to do with people anymore." βγ.γ
