Louis XVI and his wife finally relented and decided to allow Charles to marry Liu Muyu.

Then all parties discussed and planned a set of wedding plans.

Xia Er and Liu Muyu first registered their marriage in Xintianfu as civilians and held a Ming-style civilian wedding.

Louis XVI and his wife also came, but only as Louis's parents, as commoners.

Then they went to France together to go through the procedures for Liu Muyu to become naturalized in France, and accepted the canonization of the Duke of Orleans in France.

Finally, at the Palace of Versailles, a French-style royal wedding was held.

The marriage of Charles and Liu Muyu has had an unusually huge impact on France.

After Liu Muyu was named the Duchess of Orleans, she also got the Royal Palace in Paris opposite the Louvre.

Originally owned by the Bishop of Richelieu, the Palais Royale became the property of the Dukes of Orléans.

The Duke of Orleans was stripped of his title and all his property by Charles because of his rebellion, and the royal palace returned to the royal family.

After their marriage, Charles and Liu Muyu lived in the Palais Royale in the center of Paris, not in Versailles, just outside Paris.

At the same time, Shire was given a clear regent status, and directly placed his office in the royal palace.

French officials no longer have to travel to Versailles, which directly improves overall administrative efficiency.

This also brought the administrative center of France back to Paris and broke away from King Louis XVI, who remained in Versailles.

Louis XVI basically entered a state of retirement.

Xia Er and Liu Muyu started from their own homes and began a more in-depth and comprehensive Minghua reform.

First of all, all the personnel in the royal palace must be proficient in the Ming Yayan, and they must speak the Ming Yayan in the Wang Family Palace.

The selection of officials and civil servants of the French court began to make Daming Yayan a compulsory examination.

French public schools also make Daming Yayan a compulsory subject.

Based on the joint venture with Zhu Jingyuan, Charles began to vigorously build industrial industries owned by the French crown.

Further expand and strengthen the escort force under its own direct jurisdiction, while further reducing and controlling the privileges of the traditional nobility.

For example, the private employees of the nobility must also have the legal status of the official registration of the imperial court.

When the court deems it necessary, court law enforcement officers have the right to enter the noble estates and mansions for investigation.

The estates of the nobility were also subject to scrutiny by the relevant authorities of the imperial court and were subject to the same taxes as the estates of ordinary commoners.

The Charles began to organize intellectuals and set about a new code based on "equality".

All nobles, commoners, and clergy from the king down were treated equally and enforced by exactly the same laws.

There was very broad support for this act.

The French aristocracy and officials realized that France had another powerful "king".

The new king saw them as the same creatures as ordinary civilians.

Their days ahead will be even more difficult.

The main direction of Shire's reform was to limit the privileges of the traditional aristocracy and completely eliminate the privileges inherited from the feudal era.

At the same time, the crown of France and the law enforcement power of the French court were expanded.

Such reforms, of course, harmed the interests of the traditional aristocracy, and of course met with their resistance.

However, this reform was supported by the French plebeians, the emerging bourgeoisie, the middle class and even the bureaucracy at the same time.

Because the privileges of the nobility were removed, the commoners and the new bourgeoisie, who did not have the status of nobility, could compete fairly with the aristocracy.

The French aristocracy, led by the former Duke of Orleans, relied on the privileges of the traditional aristocracy to compete with the new bourgeoisie in business.

Under the original system, the new French bourgeoisie made peace with the traditional aristocracy and gained room for development in the early stage of growth.

But when they grew to a sufficient size, they began to instinctively resist the restrictions of the traditional aristocracy.

The bourgeoisie and the plebeians felt that they could definitely outperform the aristocracy when they felt that they were playing fair.

The bourgeoisie felt that the aristocracy should not demand that they sell their profits through their status.

The traditional aristocracy's use of privilege to protect the ownership of shares was unreasonable.

The middle class believed that they should not serve the aristocracy simply for the sake of their status as nobles.

You should be paid fairly for your labor.

The bureaucracy and the middle class also did not like aristocratic privileges, as the aristocracy tended to affect their efficiency.

The Charr is not prepared to defeat the king, but if there is no need for war, people can compromise.

Instead of dealing with a group of privileged people, large and small, it is better to keep only one king.

After defeating the privileges of the aristocracy, wouldn't his identity as a court bureaucrat be more useful than that of the nobility?

The point is that the slogan of fairness is very reasonable, and people from all walks of life, from the common people, to the middle class, to civil servants and bureaucrats, are willing to shout it.

Only the traditional aristocracy opposed such reforms, but they were simply powerless to resist this natural trend.

In fact, this was a reform that closely converged with the goals of the French Revolution in history.

It's just that it has changed from a fierce revolution to a top-down reform.

The French bourgeoisie was strong enough to become a ruling class on its own.

Shire's current reforms are to follow the trend.

Through this reform, the charr would gradually transform from the traditional king of the Bourbon royal family to the new bourgeois king.

Just as Napoleon was also the emperor of the bourgeoisie.

The Wangjia Palace, where Charles and Liu Muyu lived, has more than 100 shops of various kinds.

There are luxury shops, cafes, tea houses, salons, hair salons, bookstores, museums and numerous parks and pavilions.

When the Duke of Orleans took control, it was a gathering place for intellectuals who opposed the king.

It has quickly transformed into a meeting place for people from all walks of life who supported the Shire reforms.

Charles is a French fashion trendsetter in his own right, and is a natural leader for the younger generation.

Now the actual interests of the two sides have also begun to converge to a high degree, allowing Shire to quickly transform from a fashion leader to an old opinion leader.

As the reforms were rolled out, these people began to refer directly to the Shire as the word "king".

When someone doubts, they add a prefix to it and become "King of Paris", and then draw a line with it.

Charles himself is the undisputed crown prince of France, and has his own escort force to protect him.

On the outside, there was the support of the Ming Prince of Dashi, and on the inside, there was the support of the commoners, bureaucrats, and the bourgeoisie.

At the same time, the charr did not shout at the nobles again, nor did they directly confiscate wealth and assets.

Just cutting the flesh with a blunt knife, slowly removing their privileges.

In the absence of a way to deal with it and no danger to their lives, the vast majority of nobles can only choose to accept it.

Aristocrats can also have the illusion that they can make money even if they are not privileged.

The ability he possesses as a nobleman is definitely not comparable to that of commoners.

Resistance to Shire's reforms has been relatively limited.

…………

The marriage between Charles and Liu Muyu also had a great impact on the countries of Taixi.

When the relevant news reached Prussia, King William III of Prussia almost subconsciously thought that if he wanted his two sons to become the brother-in-law of Prince Daming, especially the brother-in-law of Prince Dashi, at least they should be made into one.

When the Ming Dynasty began to influence the whole world, the royal families of Taixi actually had the idea of marrying the Ming Dynasty.

The question of faith is not really a big issue, and the Tessians themselves have flexible guidelines.

Especially the Germans, including Prussia.

Before it was truly unified, there were nobles from all denominations in the German region, and they could be converted for marriage.

Catherine II was a German, originally a Protestant Lutheran, and converted to Orthodox Christianity when she arrived in Lucia.

For the Ming people, this kind of thing is more just a verbal expression.

But after they took a closer look, they found that the Ming Dynasty completely rejected the royal marriage.

They are married only to their own civilians.

So the nobles of the Tessie countries had to abandon this idea.

Now, according to the identities of Xia Er and Liu Muyu, they have discovered a new way to establish contact with Da Mingxin.

The point is that the French and the Ming have established this special relationship, which makes the other Tessie royal families anxious.

Especially the Prussians.

Germany is the crossroads of the continent of Tessie, flanked by Lucia and France.

A large reason why Germany was able to get the support and help of the Ming Dynasty was to balance the countries of the Taixi continent.

Da Ming reconciled with Lucia by splitting up the Grand Duchy of Xianbei, and the daughter of the Grand Duke of Xianbei, who is also a granddaughter of Emperor Lucie-Asia, has long been sent to Prince Dashi to "study", and I heard that she has become one of Prince Dashi's exclusive mistresses.

The relationship between Da Ming and France is also getting closer and closer, and the relationship between Prince Da Shi and the French crown prince is well known.

The only daughter of the Prince of Wales in the United Kingdom went to Xintianfu twice in a row, and her relationship with Prince Dashi was quite ambiguous.

The most important powers in the Taixi continent have now had a better relationship with the Ming Dynasty, and Prussia will definitely be marginalized.

At the very least, the importance will be greatly reduced, and it will be more and more difficult to care for and support you.

After discussing it with his wife, William III decided that he really should try it.

So William III asked people to send official letters to the Daming Honglu Temple and the Zongren Mansion to consult about related matters.

He also sent a telegram to Zhu Jingyuan in his private capacity to inquire.

And then there were two very similar, fully official responses.

"The marriage between Louis Charles Bourbon, a French citizen, and Liu Muyu, a Ming citizen, is a personal act.

"The laws of the Ming Dynasty do not prohibit the commoners of the Ming Dynasty from marrying on their own, but they also do not encourage this kind of transnational marriage.

"The Ming royal family and the imperial court will not organize any form of official cross-border marriage activities.

"If someone invites your royal family or nobles to participate in such activities in the capacity of the Ming royal family, Zongren Mansion, or imperial court, it is likely to be an international fraud, please be sure not to be deceived."

Honglu Temple and Zongren Mansion are both official institutions of the Ming Dynasty, and it is absolutely impossible to respond to questions related to marriage.

The definition of Xia Er and Liu Muyu's matter on Daming's side is the behavior of private people.

The official attitude of the Ming Dynasty is not to oppose it, but it is not to support it.

What's more, Liu Muyu has a special identity and is the sister of Zhu Jingyuan's prince's concubine.

If a person asks formally, he must pretend not to know.

As for Zhu Jingyuan himself, he is not interested in this kind of thing itself.

The reason for introducing Charles to someone is because the two parties are already familiar with each other, and Charles is really obedient to himself.

The other royal families of Taixi, Zhu Jingyuan did not have in-depth communication with them at all.

The point is that it is impossible to trust yourself as much as the Charles.

So he also gave an official response directly, and didn't take this in-depth at all.

William III was directly confused when he saw this reply:

"Personal behavior? Swindle? ”

William III's queen Louise subconsciously speculated:

"So Louis Charles of Bourbon, who met the sister of the concubine of the King of Great Eclipse, at the banquet in the New Heavenly Mansion, and then the two fell in love?"

William III frowned and said:

"Of course, it's possible, but I think it's probably just a pretext......

"I asked directly, whether I can introduce the two sides to be strong, as for whether to combine, it all depends on the personal wishes of both parties."

William III took out Zhu Jingyuan's response to his wife:

"The point is that Prince Dashi's personal response, which is also a completely similar formulaic official tone, did not respond directly to my inquiries at all.

"This shows that our personal relationship with Prince Dashi is far from the level of discussing this kind of topic."

Queen Louise nodded her head after hearing this:

"Indeed, it is already known that Charles of Bourbon had a very close relationship with Prince Dashi.

"There is even a suspicion that the relationship between Charles and Prince Dashi may have gone beyond normal friendship.

"Especially after Charles went to Xintianfu, he began to wear dresses in a distinctly ladylike style after he came back."

William III thought carefully and calculated for a while:

"Now it seems that the Ming Dynasty did not prohibit members of the Ming royal family from establishing a brother-in-law relationship with the Taixi royal family.

"But the premise is that both parties are willing to do so, and the relationship between the two parties is close enough.

"Our two children...... There is no basis for this kind of relationship with Prince Dashi. ”

When Queen Louise heard this, she tilted her head and said:

"That'...... We sent a couple of our older children to Daming as well? To build enough personal friendships with the Ming royal family? ”

William III was visibly stunned:

"This ...... It seems that you can try, but you can't send them all, just arrange one or two to go over.

"You can let William and Louise pass, a man and a woman, both have a chance.

"But in what name do we arrange it?

"There is no direct relationship between us and Prince Daishi......"

Queen Louise thought for a moment and said:

"Study abroad? Just like the Romanov royal family in Lucia, there is a tradition of sending their children to study in the Ming Dynasty.

"The current Xianbei Grand Duke, when he was studying in the Ming Dynasty, met his Ming wife.

"Although we don't have an existing friendship with Prince Daishi, he is also the person we know best.

"We can ask Prince Da Shi if he can help arrange it if we want to send a member of the royal family to study in Daming."

William III shook his head when he heard this:

"I can only go to ordinary schools to study abroad, and I don't have the opportunity to enter the specialized school of the Ming royal family.

"Otherwise, the royal families of Taixi would have formed the habit of sending their children to study in Daming.

"The wife of the Grand Duke of Xianbei is just a commoner of the Ming Dynasty, a real commoner who has nothing to do with the royal family.

"This is obviously not what we want, we want our children to have a direct friendship with Prince Daishi......

"So let's be more direct and ask directly if we can arrange for the child to go to the side of Prince Dashi to study."

Queen Louise said directly:

"That's probably going to be rejected......"

William III nodded subconsciously, then shook his head again and said:

"Not necessarily...... Prince Eat's previous response was very official, and we can be a little more official now.

"In order to enhance the relationship between the royal families of our two countries, we hope to arrange for members of the royal family to work and study beside Prince Dashi.

"Officially, I implore Prince Oshi to take the most basic care."

William III made up his mind, and the next day he asked people to send an official message to Zhu Jingyuan in an official tone.
