Brion had woken up to Charlotte in his arms, and since he was a duke, no one was allowed to enter his room without his permission. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 info Friuli is a smart guy and of course understands this, so by this time no one knows what is happening in the room either.

Brion slowly pulled out his numb arm that was pillowed, and quietly looked at Charlotte, who was naked, and didn't dare to squeak. Looking at her, Brion's eyes were filled with lust, but immediately his mind was full of guilt. After all, because of his venting last night, he ruined a girl's first night.

Even for a woman like Charlotte who exudes the aura of a young woman, Brion is a little unbearable.

"Charlotte, are you awake?"

Brion moved lightly, but Charlotte woke up and opened her charming hazy eyes to look at Brion who was staring directly at her.

"What's wrong? Charlotte blinked naturally, and the bird leaned into Brion's arms. Such a soft feeling really made Brion feel intoxicated.

Looking at the girl in his arms, Brion's guilt spontaneously arose, and he stroked Charlotte's fragrant shoulder: "Why? I already let you leave yesterday, why do you want to stay, I have already 。。。。。 at that time ”

Not wanting to go any further, Brion understands that his relationship with Charlotte is not going back. A day earlier, he had just decided on a relationship with Audrey for the sake of alliance with the government, and having such a relationship would inevitably bring great benefits to himself. Besides, such a girl is also very attractive to him.

In Europe, Catholicism flourished even with King Louis XVI. And in the hearts of the people, the monogamy spread of the Church has become so deeply rooted that even Brion cannot change the tide of the times. Now Brion has basically established a relationship with Audrey, but now he is in a relationship with Charlotte, which makes it difficult for him to do it.

Both were very attractive women, but now he had to give up one. Either choose benefits or women, which really makes Brion nerve-wracked.

"Charlotte, you should understand your relationship with me ... Or that love will not come to fruition. ”

"So what?"

Brion smiled bitterly and kissed her on the forehead: "Little fool, are you willing to be my mistress for the rest of your life?"

"I would do anything for you, even if it was only as your mistress. ”

Hearing this, Brion realized that Charlotte had really made up her mind to follow him, but the result was also something Brion didn't expect at all. He was stunned, not so much that he couldn't adapt to everything in front of him, but that he never thought of finding a relationship of his own in this era.

But plans never keep up with change, and the current situation is not necessarily a bad thing for Brion. Besides, he is a duke, the supreme leader of the city of Lyon, who can do anything with him?

Brion froze and looked directly at Charlotte's delicate face, "Why? I need a reason from you. ”

"I like you, Duke. Charlotte said as she hugged Brion's body tightly and kissed her softly.

Brion nodded, simply closed his eyes, and fell directly into the bed to enjoy the last of his morning hours.

。。。。。。。。

Women are very tempting for Brion, but the heat won't last long, after all, he still has a lot of work to do. For such a workaholic, coupled with the imminent arrival of the French Revolution, Brion had no mind or even time to enjoy the pleasure of that kind of children's personal affairs.

Soon, Brion reappeared in the eyes of the people with a new look, and the work of completing the reception of the city of Lyon became his top priority.

And his first step was to tilt power into the Senate, and as for the way to this first step, Brion had already mastered it. Rather than gaining the support of the devastated and hated aristocracy, it is better to turn the olive branch to the powerful capitalists, whose support is half the battle.

Gribeovis is the pivotal link that opens the door to this power, although this arms king has shown signs of decline, but this is also because of the turbulent situation in France, of course, this is also normal, no company can guarantee that there will be no regression, and bankrupt capitalists abound.

Brion contacted Gribois not only to gain the powerful support of the arms magnate, but also to use his commercial prestige to rally more capitalists. Of course, the latter is also Briand's main concern, and the power of the bourgeoisie is enormous, but it will also expand infinitely in the future.

Instead of holding power in his hands like other nobles, he resisted the merchants. It is better to share power with the merchants in turn, so as to assimilate them and become their own subordinates. Of course, this must be done if there is enough strength, but Brion has exactly this strength.

Even if there was a flaw in his method of getting the capitalists into the Senate, he would have been able to take back the Senate in time. The strength of these merchants is not weak, but they are not very strong either, and Brion has every chance to manipulate them.

"Mr. Gribois, I will let the forces of your business community enter the Senate in large numbers, and I will definitely suppress the existence of the aristocratic faction to a minimum!"

After further consultation with Gribois, Brion began to implement the plan that Languedotte had drawn up for him to take over the city of Lyon.

On 27 April, Brion held the inauguration of the Senate of the city of Lyon, with all his cronies and with the support of the Gribois business faction. Since the nominal supreme leader of the Senate was Languedot, Brion did not make much of a show, but remained silent on the sidelines.

"Thanks to the patronage of the Church and the kindness of His Majesty the King, the new Senate of Lyon, Kingdom of France, is officially established, and from now on。。。。。。 ”

As is customary, and Languedot was born in a court of red tape, so he began with a lot of beautiful and ornate nonsense praise, which at one time very boring to the merchants who liked to be straightforward. But the most important thing is the result, and after further elections to the new Senate, it has made Briand even more powerful.

"The final result of the public election was the inauguration of the Duke of Baden, Monsieur Gribois, MacDonald, Baron Anderloin, Commander Idaven, and myself. ”

The result, of course, was manipulated by Briand, and in terms of public opinion, it was nothing more than a democratic and undeniable excuse. This time, the Brion clique defeated the dying aristocratic faction without any pressure, and five of the six powerful representatives were from the Brion faction, and only one of the nobles held this position, of course, his existence was dispensable.

The establishment of the new Senate this time has completely consolidated Brion's power in the Senate, and there were still some hidden aristocratic forces in the Senate, but after a so-called popular re-election, they were completely swept away.

Of course, Brion's forces were now counted with his capitalists, and this time there were thirty-one businessmen from the Gribois faction, and fifteen seats from Brion's lineage, and of course he had some middle-level managers loyal to him in the Senate.

And the poor aristocracy had only fourteen seats, which could only reach a quarter, and it was a complete humiliation compared to Brion's overwhelming superiority.

After the establishment of the Senate, a large part of the aristocracy felt unusually humiliated, and some even resigned as members of the council voluntarily, but Brion didn't care, anyway, their lost positions would be replaced by their own people. And the more such positions, the better, which is more conducive to Briand's control of the regime.

After the establishment of the Senate, which belonged to Brion itself, under the auspices of Languedotte, the already turbulent situation in the city of Lyon was stabilized. As for the city government, Brion didn't want to meddle with them, and he didn't want them to come and meddle in the Senate. In addition, there is a marriage relationship with Audrey, so the relationship between the Senate and the city government is very harmonious.

Everything seems to be very harmonious, but the capitalists who have been given power for the first time seem to be a little uneasy.

"Duke, it seems that your plan has been going well. In any case, I congratulate you on behalf of my merchants. ”

As soon as the Senate was over, Gribois came to Brion surrounded by a group of merchants. Indeed, his current identity is different. Previously, he was at best a wealthy arms tycoon, but now he is a noble government official.

Brion also understood the minds of the capitalists at this time, and Gribois would certainly be excited to take office as a member of the parliament for the first time. It's just that by this time, Brion had seen the kind of arrogance he hated the most appear on the face of this capitalist who had just gained power because of him.

Apparently Brion was already very unhappy, and he didn't want this businessman, who didn't know how deep the political water was, to show his ignorance again. Unfortunately, however, Gribeau did not understand Brion's idea at all, and forgot Brion's authority because he was carried away by the first sweetness.

Brion nodded indifferently: "I'm glad you got such a position, just don't forget the positional relationship between us." ”

It was Brion's last kind reminder that he had always treated himself as a monarch, and that Brion had treated such a great and wealthy merchant as Gribeaure, in effect, as an equal ally. However, the ally in front of him is not only disobedient, but wants to stand up and challenge Brion's authority.

Brion will only endure the first time, not the second time, even if it is a former ally. If Gribois had yielded to the curious mind, Brion would not have paid attention to these little things. However, once Gribois openly turns against him, then Brion will only have sanctions. z
