Louis thought that Madame Cristina Alexandra had been the lord of a country anyway, but he underestimated her stubbornness and brutality, and while he and Monsieur Bishop were busy dealing with the Spaniards, Madame Christina, who had returned from Avignon to Fontainebleau, did something horrific - she executed her knightly commander and lover Monaldesi.

Although both the king and the bishop knew that the knight was a traitor who had betrayed the former Queen of Sweden, the lady had clearly done something wrong— First of all, because she was no longer the king of Sweden, she was now just a noble lady with a territory, not to mention that she was now in France, even if Monaldessi did something rebellious, she should have put it under the rope of the law, not to deal with it herself, and secondly, even if she did, she should not admit that she was in charge of the matter, she could have pushed the matter to the hired officials, but she refused, she admitted that she had planned the incident, and finally, Madame Christina was still an unmarried woman- Although Europa at this time was very tolerant of men and women after marriage, it was strict with girls who had not yet set foot in marriage, especially those noble women with status, just like Louis repeatedly rejected Marley, and it was precisely because she needed a good reputation to have a good marriage - Of course, almost no one can openly accuse Madame Cristina of her, but her execution of Monaldesi was not as blatant as that of a king who executed rebellion, but with a shade of pink that would not be forgotten, and when people mentioned her, they would say, "The woman who killed her lover" This made the good name that Bishop Mazaran had preached for her in Naples fall short at once, and no one would believe that a young woman who had not only lost her virginity before marriage, but also killed the people next to her, could be lenient with her subjects who had nothing to do with her, in fact, her cruelty and shame had completely pushed her off the throne, whether in Sweden or Naples.

Bishop Mazaran was so angry that he even consulted with the king whether he should be punished – a matter of what the ministers were suggesting, for there should be no such disregard for human life in any country governed by the rule of law, and that in England the lady would have been sent to a monastery to repent of her recklessness for the rest of her life, if not beheaded.

Before Louis could make a decision, a man came to him to intercede on behalf of Madame Christina, and this man did not surprise the king, because he was none other than René Descartes.

René Descartes has been much better mentally and physically since he came to France, and it is almost impossible to see that he almost died of poverty a few years ago - when Descartes met Christina, he could be said to be poor, but he was not always like this, Descartes was born in a French low-class aristocratic family, his father was a judge, so he also wanted his son to become a judge, so he studied law and medicine in college, but he also had an amazing talent in mathematics - Herein lies the problem, on the one hand, Descartes was indeed a devout Catholic, because his university was affiliated with the Society of Jesus, but on the other hand, his obsession with mathematics and his mastery of mathematics gave him the unbelievable idea that he wanted to use mathematics to prove the existence of God - he really did it, and then he came to the initial conclusion that the devil does not exist! Human beings are not perfect→ but God must be perfect→ God created the world→ for the world, the devil is evil→ so the perfect God will never create the devil......

I think that this theory immediately angered the clergy and bishops, and he was questioned, harshly rebuked, and almost excommunicated, and he was able to survive thanks to the increasing weakness of the Church and the contempt of the Inquisition—but also because he was disgusted by the clergy, so that although he was brilliant in knowledge, he was never favored by the nobles, so his "Principles of Philosophy" The scholar was on the verge of destitution before he was seen by the Queen, and it is no wonder that when he heard that the Queen of Sweden was interested in him, he immediately packed his bags and ran to Stockholm.

Unfortunately, his mind was able to adapt to Stockholm, but his body was not, especially because the queen was busy with state affairs, and his classes were scheduled until five o'clock every morning, and it is conceivable that such an old man, panting, had to get up from bed at three or four o'clock every day, tidy up his clothes, pack up his lessons, and have to rush to the palace of the Three Crowns to wait for Her Majesty - the queen's time is always irregular, sometimes for official business, sometimes for private affairs.

In this way, within a few months Descartes fell ill and had to return to the Netherlands to recuperate, but he was still somewhat grateful to Her Majesty, after all, Christina was the first nobleman willing to face him squarely, and he received a considerable reward from her— But he didn't expect that just when he was just beginning to recover and was about to return to Sweden, the queen abdicated, which was a bolt from the blue for Descartes, and Christina then left Sweden and went to Rome and France, and he was disappointed to think that he was going to continue to be silent (many of his books were banned by the church at that time), who knew that Christina introduced him to the king of France?

To say that Descartes preferred France, that France was his homeland, that Louis was his king, and that he was young, well-versed, intelligent, and unquestionably orthodox, and that he had great respect for Descartes, who received from him an annuity of three thousand livres a year, and a house not far from the Louvre, which was quite satisfying for the older scholar— After all, all he liked most was to read and think in a comfortable bed, and when he heard about Madame Christina, he also thought about it for a while—because he didn't know if interceding for Madame without permission would attract the king's disgust, whether it would make him lose the king's favor, he was too old to withstand another upheaval, but in the end he decided to try again, only once, he said to himself, he was not the bishop of Mazarin, and he did not have such a great affection for the king.

Louis was not as unhappy as people thought when Bonton brought Descartes' request for an audience, and Madame Christina's presumptuous behavior did cause them a lot of trouble, but Louis was a gentle man, and he would not be happy to see the people around him unkind, René Descartes had been favored by Cristina when he was poor, and it was Cristina who introduced him to Louis, and if he had pretended not to know anything like the others, and ignored Madame Christina, the king would have really disliked this man.

René Descartes was dressed in a particularly solemn manner today, and when he took off his hat to the king, he bowed so deeply and swiftly that even his sparse white hair danced violently in the air, and Bontang could not help but step forward to help him, lest the scholar, who was not very good at flattering at times, fall directly to the ground—he thanked Bontang, and then bowed slightly to the king......

Seeing him like this, Louis remembered a scandal circulating in the court when he first arrived at the Louvre- It was this Monsieur Descartes who was with the former Queen of Sweden, and it is said that Mr. Descartes was also a servant of the Queen's wife, of course, this is pure rumor, perhaps to discredit Madame Christina, because Mr. Descartes and Christina are a full thirty-two years apart, when they first met, Queen Christina was twenty-six years old, and Mr. Descartes was fifty-eight years old, and Christina was still an unmarried young woman, and Mr. Descartes was already a dying old man, and he was still a very good gentleman, and he could not occupy an important place in the queen's heart in any case。

The queen did appreciate his talents, but only talents, and she was more interested in Descartes' philosophy than mathematics, so the Roman Church really shouldn't be so kind to Descartes, after all, no one knows whether Christina's tilt from Protestantism to Catholicism has Descartes' influence or not.
