The undisguised arrogance of the young king certainly aroused the uneasiness and anger of some countries, but more of the tentacles that had come out of the conspiracy were taken back as if they had never been there, and the French ambassador returned to Spain, and the Spanish ambassador came to Paris again, and they were equally flattering, except that the former were more flattering, and the latter guests were more inclined to test the attitude of the Spaniards. In fact, it really can only be counted, at least for this time, one might accuse the King of France of being too reckless, but it is precisely this that Philip IV of Spain feared- Spain began to decline half a century ago, its once proud navy was crumbling under the blows of the Portuguese and the Dutch, and the Bishop of Richelieu had leased forty warships from Spain, but returned them to Spain before they could be used, not because of the sudden disappearance of the war, of course, but because the forty warships were old and lacked rear admirals, much to the cardinal's disappointment, and then he sent agents to find out whether this was the intention of the Spanish king or whether it was indeed Spain's embarrassment, and the answer was the latter- Thirty years later, the situation in Spain only got worse, they had suffered defeat after defeat against the Portuguese, they were simply unable to fight on two fronts, and it was with the French army led by the Prince of Condé that Louis was so bold.

This can be said to be Louie's first game in the changes between countries and countries, he has no experience as a king, this time the bet is not dangerous, not only Spain does not want to fight, Louis does not want to, if there is a real war, this greedy gold-swallowing beast will greatly delay the time of his reform- With the power and majesty of this success, the king's chancellor, Colbert, quickly promulgated several laws, and the king's magistrates once again appeared in the lords' domains, and their most important job was to ensure that these officials and lords were able to pay their taxes truthfully and in a timely manner, and to keep an eye on them so that they would not be allowed to transfer some unwarranted tax regulations to the king— There were some people who did this, and those ignorant commoners did not know who they should really curse, and the effect was immediate, and the income of the royal family increased by more than a third that year, and as the king's power gradually infiltrated all over France, this income will increase further, which made Louis lightly relieved, after all, the silver and gold in the treasury during this time were like flowing water, just came in here, and flowed away there, and sometimes he had to ask the queen mother, The situation in which the royal brother and the Duchess of Montpensier borrowed money was really disturbing.

The king's policy undoubtedly hindered the interests of many people, who did not dare to do anything to the king, but dared to point fingers and slander at Colbert, and both the Count of d'Artagnan and the Duke of Orleans, Philippe, reported to the king, and their information contained the words and actions of the nobles who secretly insulted and slandered this important minister— The greatest target was the minister's origins, who was at first a woolen merchant and less than Nicolas Fouquet, who had become vaguely isolated by the dignitaries, and d'Artagnan, when he returned to the king, was somewhat surprised to find that the king did not care about this, "There are also people who propose a duel to this lord." "The Count d'Artagnan said that he was no more than the people outside, and that there were very few people who could be trusted by the king, and that he considered himself one, and that Colbert was undoubtedly one of them, and that in view of the king's tolerance, they would not be easily abandoned as long as they did not make a great mistake.

"Paris has long forbidden duels," said the king, with an understatement, "and if anyone does, my captain, I permit you to arrest them at once." "The Château de Bastille has been transformed into a fortified prison by the king, waiting to be filled—the prison in Vincennes will only be used for felons, and the werewolves will guarantee that even vampires will not be able to break through their defenses easily, and that Amun's taking away Prince Condé and the others will not happen again as a joke - and then, if a more serious crime is committed, the king's gallows and guillotine await them.

The king waited for Kirbert to complain to him, but the hard-hearted woollen merchant did not, so one evening, when the king was about to have dinner, he called him, half jokingly, half earnestly, and asked him what reward and protection he wanted...... After thinking for a while, Colbert said, if he could, when the things that the king had given him did go as they expected, then he would ask the king to officiate the marriage of his three daughters, which made Louis laugh, "Alas," he said, "I don't think I would have a few golden arrows in my quiver." ”

"Marriage is a solemn contract, and love is just a frivolous game. Kolber said.

"And what kind of son-in-law do you want?"

"I want them to have a noble birth. ”

Such an answer really puzzled the king, "You know that they are the ones who slander and despise you, and how can your children be happy?"

"It is because they have humiliated me that I have made them feel remorse, and there is nothing more severe than this, they laugh at me, but they want to marry my daughters, and their descendants will surely inherit my blood. Those who think that I am just a woolen merchant will eventually curtsy my grandson and granddaughter. ”

"It's embarrassing," said Louis, "I don't think I can promise you right now." ”

"I know, Your Majesty," said Colbert, "I swear I will not force it, but please look at me, and if I can produce something that satisfies you, then I will be rewarded with such a reward." ”

"Well," said Louie, "as long as you can." He could even give Kirbel a knighthood.

Colbert got the king's promise and left contentedly, Louis went to see the queen, he has been sleeping with the queen almost all the time, not to have a second child as soon as possible (most people think so), but if he does not do this, he is afraid that Queen Teresa will fall into endless melancholy, the queen of this era is most afraid of this, the kings of Europa can be said to be in-laws, far or near, but they do not think about their sisters when they want to fight, A wife or a daughter, and a woman as a queen is the most unfortunate, because she cannot abandon her mother country (and even if she does, others may not believe it), nor can she face her husband and his country, for her home country she is married, but for the country to which she must be loyal she is not a trustworthy foreigner.

Even if Queen Teresa had already given birth to Louis's eldest son, didn't she see the Queen Mother take the little prince away and not let her raise it herself?

To-day, however, Madame de Lavallière brought a rare basket of rich-smelling roses, and when she saw them, the queen was very displeased, but she generously gave up the king, and the king saw that it was the queen mother's maid who had brought the roses, and guessed that the queen mother was dissatisfied with his recent stay with the queen, and urged him to stay with Madame de Lavallière, who was supposed to be more favored than the queen in order to make the French feel at ease.

The king went to Madame de Lavallière, so to speak, crying and laughing, and Madame de Lavalier really had something to ask him for, and it turned out that the Marquis François de Craqui had offered her an expensive gift, hoping that she would intercede with the king— The Marquis of Craqui had been loyal to the king throughout the first and second revolts, and he should have been valued by the king by virtue of this loyalty, but unfortunately he foolishly took refuge with Nicolas Fouquet, and Louis could understand that a few months after the death of Bishop Mazarin, it was believed that he would appoint Fouquet as the next prime minister, but the king had already decided, as Bishop Mazaran had instructed, not to create the post of prime minister, which would compete with the king for power.

Sensitive people, long ago, when the ministers asked the king who should report back to those matters that had been handled by the bishop Mazarin, the king proudly replied: "I." But the Marquis of Craigie was obviously a little sluggish, and until Fouquet was arrested, he was still trying to lobby to rescue the benefactor, and the rest of the matter went without saying, Fouquet was secretly imprisoned for an indefinite sentence, and Craigie was exiled outside of Paris along with other Fouquet henchmen who had not had time to get out— Even if he knew he had done something wrong, it was too late, but fortunately he also had a competent father-in-law, the Duke of Leddigiel, the head of the royal family, who handed the king's first royal wife, Madame Lavallière, an olive branch that Madame Lavallière had to mention this person to the king, but she also explained to the duke in advance that she did not guarantee that the king would change his mind.

She said the same thing to the king, and she still put her status in the position of the king's vassal, which comforted Louis, after all, everyone wondered whether he would allow Madame Lavallière to extend her hand to the court, and Madame Lavallière knew that it was best, so he comforted her and said that his exile of Knight Craigie was originally temporary, after all, Craigie was originally a world-famous military family, and His Majesty the King, who once envied the Lord Protector Oliver Cromwell, would certainly not throw away a possible general's talent at will, but the Marquis of Craigie's behavior undoubtedly showed the king loudly that he was a complete fool in politicsThe king had to send him to the north to sober up his feverish mind and see if he could become more normal.

Madame Lavallière lobbied from it, and the Marquis de Craqui was finally relieved from his anxiety, and he happily took over the latest appointment, he still could not return to Paris, but it was also a privilege to be appointed by the king as an ambassador to Rome, but this strong-tempered, reckless knight gentleman, had only arrived in Rome and clashed with the papal guard.

Although later generations often jokingly referred to France as the eldest daughter of God, in fact, although it was Charlemagne who inherited the most from Charlemagne—it was France that inherited the political legacy of Rome, and the kings of the Franks have always flaunted themselves as the benchmark of the Church—and it seems that this is true, after all, they have fought the pagans for two hundred years, so much so that the pagans call all the Europagans the Franks— But since Philip IV, pious kings have begun to talk and act in different ways, or rather, they have been, only from Philip IV (the king who generously invited the pope to his realm as a guest), they did not bother to cover it up, after that, in order to break through the Habsburgs' encirclement of France, François I the Great did not hesitate to form an alliance with the Sultan of the Ottoman Turkish Empire, and for more than a hundred years, by the time of the Prime Minister of Richelieu, the French calmly became allies with the Protestants, and defeated other Catholic countries in the Thirty Years' War......

Later, when Louis XIV ascended the throne and Bishop Mazarin became prime minister, the Church of Rome came into contact with the cardinal prince, who was clearly more loyal to France than to the Church, in the hope that he would be biased in policy towards the Church, for example, at the Estates-General, to abolish the previous decrees of the king against the Church—similar to the law that gold, silver, money, weapons, horses, etc., should not be exported abroad without the king's permission—because such laws prevented the pope from taxing the French nobility and clergy. Not to mention some of the acts of taking food from the mouth of the Church, such as vacant clergy and the appointment and dismissal of clergy, but Bishop Mazaran can be said to have rejected them without hesitation.

As we saw at the beginning, the Church's revenge was to transfer the Grand Inquisitor of the Paris Inquisition to Rome, which led to an unexpectedly terrible void in Paris's defenses against dark creatures - a team of hired foreign werewolves silently replaced the native werewolves outside Paris, and the king and queen mother were almost killed in the wolf's belly - if it were not for the little witch Mary who was left by Mr. Bishop with the Queen Mother, perhaps the Church's conspiracy would have succeeded.

In return, Bishop Mazarin was not polite, he directly appointed his own people, that is, Elelius took the place of the Grand Inquisitor, and firmly grasped the Inquisition of Paris, and from that time on, all the regions that were in the hands of the bishop and the king, from churches to monasteries, from fields to shops, from monks to priests, the Church did not receive a son except for the public taxes, and even the inheritance that Bishop Mazaran should have returned to the Church was transferred to the king like his son before his death, so it is strange that the Church of Rome would be polite to Louis's ambassadors。

But they simply despised the new French ambassador.
