Chapter 597: Transaction
Qian Chen pointed at Vernoyed III without the slightest politeness.
"He must abdicate and then relinquish the throne to my good friend, Louis Urlandel Charlotte Bonaparte."
Hoffman frowned suddenly, he was the last thing he was afraid of being an old fox with rich political experience, because he was confident that he could achieve an absolute advantage in negotiations, and what he was most afraid of was Qian Chen, a reckless brother who didn't understand politics at all and only came according to his own preferences.
Listen to what this is, and you know that Louis is a good friend of yours, but can you avoid it a little bit, be tactful, such as: 'I propose that His Highness Louis, who is wise, intelligent, and merciful, is the most suitable person to inherit the throne.' ’
Then everyone goes down the stairs, pretends not to know anything about your affair with Louis, and puts him on the throne.
In this way, everyone will not lose face.
Qian Chengeng and Hoffman wanted to take a good political lesson with him.
After hearing Qian Chen's request, Vernoyd III, who was shrinking on the throne, turned even more bitter.
Princess Josephine's face changed dramatically, and she bit her lip so hard that a thick fire of jealousy surged up from the bottom of her heart.
'Why didn't that bastard do anything, and the crown would automatically fall on him!' Why don't I have such good friends? ’
After listening to Qian Chen's request, the powerful people in the audience couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
Anyway, in their opinion, when a powerless illegitimate son comes to power, won't he let them be manipulated by these big nobles when the time comes?
At that time, they will still be the uncrowned kings in secret.
However, Hoffman pinched the bridge of his nose and said in a deep voice.
"I can't agree to this request. The country's roots are rotten, and a complete overhaul is needed to regenerate from the ashes. ”
Qian Chen thought for a while and said.
"Maybe we can think differently and reach a mutually satisfactory consensus."
"Your Excellency, please speak."
"I don't know if the Prime Minister has ever heard of a constitutional monarchy."
Hoffman burst out laughing.
"Your Excellency, do you want to say that our country can follow the example of Great Britain and Japan, the two island nations?"
"What are you kidding, let's learn from two barbarian island nations!?"
The magnates in the audience said with disdain.
France prides itself on being the number one power in Europe, how can it be possible to pull down its face and learn the national policy of the cricket island country.
However, the man was glared at by Joan of Arc's death, and immediately fell silent, and directly retracted his neck.
Qian Chen knew very well that now he only needed to convince Hoffman.
After all, as he said, it is absolutely impossible for a Celestial Empire person to sit on the throne of the French emperor.
But he has the strength to influence the throne, so wouldn't it be beautiful to simply support his friend to come to power.
So Qian Chen continued.
"Your Excellency, because you see that the United States has made a republican system as its national policy, it is a big mistake to think that the republican system is better.
The two countries are different, at least the United States has never had a king. But France, unlike France, has taken the liberty of overthrowing the thousand-year-old imperial system, and the chaos caused by it, Your Excellency did not anticipate it at all? ”
Hoffman was silent.
Qian Chen struck while the iron was hot.
"A constitutional monarchy is the best option for a smooth transition of the country from an imperial dictatorship, and a large empire cannot be free from the influence of the monarchy for a short time."
When Qian Chen saw it, Hoffman's eyes obviously showed a hesitant look, and he was moved.
So, Qian Chen played the last card.
"And you don't want such a swarm of moths in your new country."
Qian Chen pointed to the nobles and magnates behind him.
"More than two-thirds of the great aristocracy of the whole of France are gathered here, and if they are all swept away, and then all of them are punished for treason, their property can be nationalized and the treasury can be replenished.
You know, no matter what kind of reform, this is needed. ”
Qian Chen rubbed his fingers very whimsically.
Hoffman was silent. Because of Qian Chen's words, he felt that it was very reasonable, and Qian Chen's promise was even more tempting.
He prefers to come by himself than to share this new kingdom with a group of moths.
Before, it was because of the power of the aristocracy that he had to make a compromise.
Why wouldn't he want to uproot all these nobles?
The empire has come to this point, and they have a lot of 'credit'.
Seeing that Qian Chen used them as bargaining chips, and Hoffman seemed to be really moved, the magnates in the audience immediately panicked.
"Hoffman, we're allies!"
"Do you want to blatantly break the contract!"
"Don't be fooled by this outlander!"
However, Hoffman was unmoved, he looked directly into Qian Chen's eyes and nodded.
"Deal."
"It's a pleasure to work with."
As a result, the old and the young easily decided the fate of everyone in the entire hall, including the emperor.
The power to control the fate of others is a mesmerizing thing.
Qian Chen admitted that even he himself was almost tempted.
Unfortunately, for me, cooking is more important after all... ’
The two sides reached an agreement, and the atmosphere suddenly became much more harmonious.
Only between the two of them, of course.
There were many powerful people who wanted to escape, but Joan of Arc was unceremonious, directly blocked all the entrances and exits with black flames, and then knocked all those who tried to escape and resist to the ground.
Suddenly, there was a scream like a pig in the luxurious palace hall.
In the midst of the screams, the old and the young mingled happily, and even had a taste of sympathy.
"I retract my previous rude thoughts, Your Excellency Qian Chen has a very unique understanding of politics."
Hoffman said meaningfully.
It wasn't until just now that Hoffman was sure that Qian Chen's previous upright image was pretended.
Qian Chen waved his hand.
"Your Excellency has won the award, and I am only half a bucket of water in this regard, but I can see it more clearly because I am standing next to it."
Qian Chen also knows very well that he is definitely not as good as these old foxes in terms of political acumen, but he has the strength to flip the table, so why not pretend to be reckless.
An old man and a young man looked at each other and smiled, and everything was silent.
So this farcical civil strife finally came to an end for the time being.
There was a riot in the palace, a large number of maids and male servants poured out of the Palace of Versailles, and the purple-clothed guards fell into chaos, and there was no time to stop them, so the crowd scattered and fled after leaving the palace.
At this moment, a strange figure that looked like a man but was wearing a maid's costume burrowed into a nearby alley.
When there was no sound nearby, he slowly raised his head, revealing Lemanov's face.
In order to escape from the palace, he not only changed into women's clothes, but even threw away his most beloved green hat.
He glanced coldly in the direction of the Palace of Versailles, a hint of irritation and resentment on his face, and then turned and disappeared into the night.
