The leader of the French mission, named Jean-Baptiste Colbert.

This old man, who is currently the personal minister of French Prime Minister Mazarin, helps Mazarin take care of some private property. He is also a full member of the Académie Française.

Historically, Colbert later became Chancellor of the Exchequer, and was a purse that Louis XIV could not have left without. He would pioneer the Colbertianism (a type of mercantilism), which laid the foundation for the development of French industry and commerce, and was the main promoter of French colonization in the 17th century.

By the way, the French Academy of Letters and the French Academy of Sciences were also founded under the auspices of Colbert.

Colbert is only in his 30s this year, and it was only by bribing Mazarin that he was able to get the position of head of the French mission to China.

Along the way, Colbert was observing the situation in various countries. Especially when I arrived in Guangzhou, I kept asking about financial, commercial, and industrial issues. After arriving in Nanjing, I spent a few days obsessed with shopping, and then began to inquire about China's industrial and commercial policies.

"God, what a magnificent palace this is?"

"We've been walking for a long time, haven't we reached the end yet?"

“……”

The envoys of various countries were shocked by the Forbidden City, but Colbert was carefully observing, and at the same time thinking about how there was no smell of feces and urine here.

I don't know how long I walked, but all the messengers were arranged to wait in a side hall.

The maid brought tea and pastries, and then disappeared.

Prince Charles suddenly stood up, walked over to a pillar, and exclaimed, "Is this made of whole wood?" How big a giant tree does it have to be? ”

Although it is also made of golden silk nanmu, this pillar is really not thick, after all, it is only a side hall.

When you get to the main hall, that's scary!

When Zhao Han repaired the Forbidden City, thanks to Zhu Yuanzhang's blessing, the big pillars here can still be used.

Seeing Charles walking around at will, and there were no Chinese officials to stop him, the other envoys followed suit. They had the same task, which was to observe and record the imperial palaces of China, and to report back to their respective monarchs, more luxurious and majestic than the palaces they lived.

"His Royal Highness...... Prince," Colbert said.

Charles immediately interrupted: "I am the king, I have been crowned king of Scotland!" ”

"Well, Your Majesty," asked Colbert, "do you intend to remain in China, or do you intend to return to England and seek restoration?" ”

Charles said: "Of course I want to go back to England. ”

Colbert said, "If Your Majesty can restore and overthrow that damned republic, we may be able to cooperate in the future." ”

Charles teased: "You are only the temporary head of the envoys, and you have no official position in France, what cooperation can we have in the future?" ”

"Perhaps?" Colbert laughed, "Your Majesty is not still in exile?" If you can be the king of England in the future, why can't I be the prime minister of France? ”

Charles looked at this person carefully, nodded and said, "Well, I'm looking forward to future cooperation." As he spoke, he asked, "Since you have the ambition to be the prime minister, why don't you stay with Mazarin?" ”

Colbell smiled but didn't say a word.

Mazarin was only the prime minister after all, and once the Queen Mother died, France was still Louis XIV in charge.

Colbert was still very young, and he knew that Louis XIV was obsessed with Chinese culture and art. He was willing to spend money and risk coming to China, just because he wanted to become a China expert, and he could easily win the favor of the king in the future.

Historically, all the reforms made by this product have been premised on the satisfaction of Louis XIV. For example, the French Academy of Letters, when it was first established, was only an institution dedicated to the study and inscription of Louis XIV.

Colbert talked to Charles for a while, and then went to get close to the Persian envoys to discuss the future of dealing with the Dutch.

After waiting for half a morning, I finally saw a group of officials walking through the door of the side hall and getting into the carriage one after another not far away.

These were the important ministers who had just finished the imperial meeting, and Zhao Han allowed them to ride in the carriage in the Forbidden City, not to sympathize with the ministers, but to let the ministers go back to work as soon as possible.

But in the eyes of the ministers, the emperor is really benevolent, and there are carriages to sit in and out, for fear that the courtiers will be tired of walking.

Before the convoy went far, a female official and a guard came to the side hall: "Your Majesty has a decree to announce that the French envoy will enter the palace to meet you!" ”

The general officer of Honglu Temple immediately left with the French envoy.

Colbert met the Emperor in the Yingmin Hall, and he remembered the teachings of the Ministry of Rites and stood in the hall and bowed to the Emperor.

"Throne!"

A chair was moved out, and Colbert came closer, finally able to see the emperor's face faintly.

A strong sense of oppression hit, and Colbert subconsciously became cringe. At the same time, he soon noticed that this was caused by space and light, and he was proficient in painting, and understood that the builders of this palace were deliberately creating a solemn atmosphere.

Colbert made up his mind to return to France in the future, and suggested that the king do so, so that Louis XIV would be appreciated.

But the audience to the monarch is just to bow, this must not be brought back, it is popular in Europe to kneel on one knee, how can you not kneel when you meet the king?

Zhao Han smiled: "I have already received the gifts from the King and Queen Mother of France, and I would like to greet them on my behalf." I also have some gifts in return that you should take with you when you leave China. ”

Colbert hurriedly stood up, bent down and saluted: "Your Majesty the Great Emperor of China, you are the King of kings, on behalf of His Majesty the King and the Queen Mother, I thank you for your enthusiasm and generosity. ”

In fact, there is nothing to say, about the situation in France, Zhao Han has already learned from the Chinese mission, and the diplomatic agreement that should be signed has also been signed in Paris.

At this moment, it is only a symbolic reception of the envoy.

After a casual conversation, Zhao Han wasted 15 minutes of his time, and sent the French envoy away.

Next, there are Persia, Mughals, Oman, Portugal...... Only the main envoy was allowed to enter the main hall, and the rest of the members of the mission were all waiting in the side hall.

Charles couldn't help but feel a little lost and annoyed when he saw one messenger after another being taken away, and he was last in line.

When I entered the main hall, I saw the emperor washing his hands, and the palace maid brought food.

After Charles' salute, Zhao Han said, "It's noon, sit down and eat." ”

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Charles was happy again.

Zhao Han praised: "I learned Chinese well, and I don't need a translator. ”

Zhao Han sat on top to eat, Charles sat down to eat, and clinked glasses and drank in the air.

After drinking a glass of wine, Zhao Han looked at Charles and wanted to laugh.

He doesn't know much about Chinese and foreign history, but he has also heard of the famous King of Happiness, mainly because what happened to Charles II is too impressive.

Charles fell ill in his later years, and the British royal physician prepared several treatment options.

First of all, there was bloodletting therapy, a knife in the king's arm, and a pound and a half of bloodletting to try the effect first.

Oops, the king seems to be weaker, hurry up and get on the second plan. Since it's not the blood problem, it must be too much yellow bile, and you have to take emetics quickly.

Your Majesty, I've taken all the medicine, why can't you vomit it?

Your Majesty, don't panic, the minister still has a way, since he can't spit it out, then pull it out. Salt, cinnamon, cardamom, beetroot, and an ancestral excretion potion. This has to be an enema every two hours, twelve times a day, and it will definitely be able to drain the excess yellow bile for a few days!

Hey, why doesn't Your Majesty have the strength to speak? The minister just poured your intestines 60 times.

It seems that you have to use a unique skill, and it is useless to bleed and yellow bile for His Majesty, so there must be thick juice accumulation in the body. As long as the thick juice is drained, His Majesty will definitely recover!

Alas, His Majesty has no wounds on his body, and can only artificially create wounds to drain pus.

Your Majesty, bear with me, your hair has been shaved, and the soldering iron will come soon. Wow, Your Majesty's noble head, the blisters of blood that burn out are so beautiful. However, this is just a blood blister, and it has to be raised again, and it will take two days for the blood blister to become concentrated water.

Your Majesty, your illness is so serious that not only did you not get better when you let go of the thick water, but you actually began to have convulsions all over your body. It must be caused by too much black bile, and it seems that a third plan will have to be used!

Your Majesty can rest assured that this pigeon dung will be wiped on the soles of his feet, and then covered with special ointment, and the two-pronged approach will definitely be able to remove the toxin.

Because you are too ill, you can't stop excreting when you pull out the poison. Chan also has another method, which is to apply sneezing powder to the nostrils and perform an enema with the previous recipe. The enema formula can also be improved by grinding the human skull into powder and mixing it in the enema decoction for better results.

Your Majesty, the treatment is almost at the last moment, why can't you bear it? Your Majesty, be strong!

Charles was lying on the hospital bed, looking dazed, and said weakly: "I'm very sorry that because of my illness, I have troubled everyone for so long." You've all worked hard. ”

Zhao Han couldn't hold back after all, he suddenly laughed out loud, and hurriedly spoke to cover up: "You plan to take back the throne?" ”

"Please borrow two thousand troops from Your Majesty!" Charles immediately put down his chopsticks.

Zhao Han said: "Don't be in a hurry about borrowing troops. Cromwell is in his 50s, how many years will he live? You are very young, and you will boil Cromwell to death, and it will be easy to return to your home and be reinstated. Let's stay in Nanjing first, see more, walk more, it will be good for you. ”

Zhao Han was not worried at all about cultivating a strong enemy, Britain, but was a little worried that Britain would not be strong.

With the rise of the British, the Indian colonies made a huge contribution.

And in this time and space, India is definitely Chinese. Without India, how can Britain support itself, and what will it use to balance France?

So, you have to pull the British!

"Are you going to marry your sister to the Chinese royal family?" Zhao Han asked.

"China is the greatest country in the world, and Britain is the greatest country in Europe," Charles said. If the two countries can marry, they will be able to rule the whole world! ”

Zhao Han nodded and said, "Okay, then marry your sister to the crown prince of China." ”

Hearing this, Charles was extremely excited, and he finally saw the hope of returning to China.

Zhao Han continued to stare at Charles, and sighed sincerely in his heart, the vitality of this product is really strong, it is simply a humanoid Xiaoqiang, and he was tossed by a group of quacks for so long before he died.

Not to mention using a soldering iron to scald the scalp to raise concentrated water, 12 times a day enema, a full 5 days. Then add human skull ashes to continue the enema, and the dehydration alone can hang up the whole person.

Amitabha, good, good!
