Chapter 175: The Door to Freedom!
"I'm not going to Austria! What kind of king is a king who has lost his kingdom? If I go to Austria, I will only become a tool and a puppet in the hands of others! Louis XVI sighed and turned his back (shēn) to the firm word.
"Louie, no! Franz is my nephew, he won't do this to you! Louis, we can't stay in France anymore! Do you remember the way the mob and the National Guard looked at us when we left the Tuileries Palace? I'll never forget that look, as if it was going to eat us alive! Just for our children, I beg you! "Mary? Antoinette stepped forward and embraced Louis XVI from behind, with pear blossoms and rain down.
"Yes, Your Majesty, the National Assembly intends to transport your family to Fort Dampel for detention on August 13 (rì)! If you don't go now, you won't have a chance to go in the future! Han Xing immediately helped.
A trace of sadness flashed in Louis XVI's eyes, France was so important to him, he wholeheartedly (ài) his country and people, but he was betrayed and abandoned by his own people, and even was forced to leave his own country.
In a different sense, Louis XVI is a Ming monarch, at least in terms of the standard of the Celestial Empire, as the so-called "Holy Son of Heaven rules by the arch", to put it bluntly, it is "Boss, don't do anything, don't care about anything, just leave it all to us!" "This is the standard of the Ming Dynasty during the Ming Dynasty, as long as you don't get into trouble, hand it over to the cabinet to play freely, and appoint those "virtuous ministers" promoted by the court, you are the Ming Jun!
Therefore, from this point of view, Louis XVI is definitely a Ming monarch, he just lacks a group of powerful virtuous ministers, plus a series of education of Confucius's loyal monarch (ài) national education thoughts.
"But where can I go? I don't want to be someone else's prisoner, to leave France, to leave my throne, where am I not a prisoner? I'm just a prisoner in a foreign country, so I might as well stay in France, in this land where I was born and raised! Louis XVI turned around (shēn), put his arms around his wife, and said with tears in his eyes.
"No, Louie!" Mary? Antoinette also hugged Louis XVI and cried bitterly, what happened during this time was quite aggrieved for this princess (diàn) who grew up with a golden spoon, and was inexplicably detained on her head.
From the point of view of an aristocracy, Mary? Antoinette's lavish expenses are actually not wrong, just like rich people like to buy the most expensive things, what to buy, whether to buy or not, this is a personal matter, and it is not the turn of others to intervene.
It's just that in the eyes of the French people, at this critical juncture when the country is in danger, everyone can't even eat bread, and you are still so happy and happy, it's really a bit lacking in morality, isn't it?
Therefore, the rulers of the Celestial Empire are still smart and know that even if they have fine clothes and food behind their backs, they have to pretend to be sharing weal and woe with the people on the surface.
Louis XVI stroked his wife's back, patted it and said, "If you want to go, go!" Take the kids with you, don't go back to Austria, find a place to live incognito! I don't want Charlie to be a canary in a cage like me! Promise me, promise me! Louis XVI suddenly took his wife's hand and said eagerly.
"I promise you! Even if I were to go back to Austria, I wouldn't take them with me! I promise you! Louis, woo~" The peerless beauty cried bitterly and hugged Louis XVI tightly, as if to remember the feeling of her husband's arms in this way, Louis XVI had to squeeze out a reluctant smile and gently pat her back to comfort her.
"Take them away!" Louis XVI pushed his wife away from his embrace, then smiled at Han Xing. Mary, with her red and swollen eyes, reluctantly left her husband's embrace, but kissed him on the lips again.
The kiss was salty, because the tears of the two had already welled up like a spring. The kiss was bitter, because for the two of them, it might be the way to say goodbye.
Maybe Mary? Antoinette once had a few periods of unsightly feeling (qíng) on Louis behind his back, but that was because Louis XVI had suffered from unspeakable concealment, but later after Louis XVI's illness was cured, their sense (qíng) quickly warmed up, as evidenced by the child in front of them.
What's more, after going through so many hardships, Louis XVI has become Marie's dependence and a husband recognized by her. He captured the heart of the woman in front of him with his kindness, gentleness, tolerance, and true courage in the face of danger. In Marie's heart, Louis XVI was already an irreplaceable existence!
Han Xing wanted to say, "You don't actually have to die!" But now this sad (qíng) drama of parting is really exciting, even in TV dramas, it can't be such a good drama. Besides, Han Xing didn't say it before, but it's a pity that both of them took his words as a deaf ear!
However, Han Xing thought about it, as the saying goes, "the icing on the cake is better than sending carbon in the snow", the more desperate they are, and they give them hope again, the happier they are, right? Han Xing is even a little looking forward to seeing how wonderful the couple's watch (qíng) will be when they are in their last place!
Mary? Antoinette tearfully turned (shēn) to lead the child away, and she turned (shēn) to take the last look at Louis XVI, who still had that indifferent smile on his face.
She cried, she knew this pillow person too well, his smile was just forced to calm down, in the face of his relatives, he was so brave, carrying the burden alone, bearing the pressure of all parties.
Once, it was clear that the debt crisis in France made him toss and turn and couldn't sleep, but every time she made unreasonable demands to him, asking for huge living expenses, asking him to repay her high debts, he never said "no" even once! God knows how he managed to raise that money?
But what did she do with the money he gave? Continue to gamble, splurge, buy expensive jewelry, and even fool around with other men outside. Now that I think about it, Mary does not (jìn) feel ashamed, and only feels guilty about her husband.
He cared for her gently, never reproached her, and made her happy like an angel, while he was under terrible pressure and silently held up a piece of the sky for her. It wasn't until the mob stormed Versailles for the first time that Marie realized how difficult France's finances were! But it was too late, and the honorary title of "Lady of Deficit" had already been branded on her (shēn)!
Mary? Antoinette finally understood her husband, his selflessness, greatness, tolerance, and his shadow had long been engraved in the heart of this "peerless Cleopatra", becoming an irreplaceable existence, he may not be the best king in the world, but he is the best husband in the world in the eyes of Mary! (In modern parlance, Louis XVI's boyfriend is powerful!) )
Thinking of this, Marie could no longer contain the tears that swirled in her eyes, and she rushed to Louis XVI behind (shēn), knelt before him, and pleaded without crying: "You will die!" Louis! They're going to kill you! Come with us! Just for the sake of your children, can you bear to watch them lose their fathers at such a young age? And me, our (ài) (qíng) is just beginning! I owe you so much, and I will have to make up for it with my life! Can you bear to let me die with guilt and regret (shēn)? ”
Louis XVI took her by the arm, helped her up, and smiled: "I will not leave, if I want to be a prisoner, I would rather be a prisoner of France!" I don't want me to be a pretext for other countries to attack France, and even if France doesn't need me anymore, I won't let anyone else use me to hurt her! ”
Louis XVI lowered his head, kissed his wife's forehead gently, then reached out and stroked her messy hair and said, "Marie, you owe me nothing, you need not be ashamed!" It's my fault, I didn't protect you, I didn't make you happy forever, I did it all on my own! Take care of the children, take care of yourself, they are going to lose their father, they will never lose their mother again! ”
"It's finally time for me Han Xing to save the scene!" Han Xing thought proudly, he cleared his throat and said, "Your Majesty, I can guarantee that the place you go to will be absolutely safe, and you will never become an excuse for other countries to attack France!" And the nobles who used to be in the Tuileries have already moved in, and you will have a great time there! ”
"Count Segaard, you don't have to lie to me anymore! I know you're doing it for my good, but there's no way I'm going to escape! Even if we leave Paris, we can't escape France! Louis XVI lamented, then smiled wryly at his wife: "Remember the last time we ran away?" I was on the verge of success, but I was recognized! ”
Han Xing decisively opened the door of space, and a transparent round hole gradually expanded in front of Louis XVI's family, and the surrounding space was affected by it, and all folds appeared. The door is like a painting, a window, and it reflects a completely different scene from the interior, with a green meadow in the near and a blue river in the distance, which is the gateway to the world of the riverside area.
"Are you a magician?" Louis XVI looked at the door that suddenly appeared in horror, and the green world inside, and subconsciously protected his wife and children behind his (shēn) and trembled.
"Your Majesty, you can understand it that way, but believe me, I am a good and upright man! I won't hurt you! The nobles now live on the other side of the gate! Han Xing knelt down on one knee and said earnestly.
"I believe in you!" Louis XVI was the first to enter the door of space. Frankly, he didn't care what it was, even if it was a trap that would kill him, he would not hesitate to break in. Death is a thing of the past for him, and if his own death can calm everything in exchange for the happiness and well-being of his family, it will be enough for him.
He didn't feel the tearing and pain he had imagined, he opened his eyes and found himself (shēn) in a green shade, in front of him a calm, sapphire-like river, and on the opposite bank he could see clumps of wheat undulating in the breeze, and the sun shone on him (shēn) like this, warm, even a little dazzling.
When he turned around and saw that the door was still there, and his wife and children were looking in this direction with tears in their eyes, he immediately walked back and said, "Come, Mary, children, and sister, we are free!" ”
Seeing his (shēn) shadow reappear, Mary? Antoinette smiled, and although the tears were still flowing, it was because of happiness!
