Chapter 1: Four Hundred Years Later
ps: Dig a pit, dig a hole, this chapter is a sinkhole
Not everyone can be a trendsetter of the times, and if you don't have enough ability, whoever you are will be ruthlessly discarded by the carriage of history and turned into powder under the wheels - even if you are a king. As for those who want to take the reins and drive the carriage by themselves, it is likely that there will not be even bones left, and even if you foresee the right direction, the power of the individual is so small that even a slight bump may bring the unfortunate back to the arms of God.
But even so, there are still many people who follow suit, because the fruit of victory is so tempting that anyone who can climb to the top of the pyramid will enjoy unspeakable wealth and power, as well as the opportunity to be descended.
But not everyone volunteered to embark on this dangerous journey, and some of the unlucky ones were born by their ancestors to be thrown into the position of driving the carriage, and they had no choice but to tremble all day long, so as to be careful that they would be thrown off the carriage and turned into dust.
Some of them succeeded, and naturally there were also failures, and it has been proved that bloodline cannot determine a single qiē, especially when a dynasty is at the end of its rope, the backlash accumulated over hundreds of years, even if it is a generation of masters, may not be able to retreat in its entirety.
"I am not the king of the country, but the minister is the minister of the country" is not an empty phrase, no matter how hard you work and support it, you can only end up with the same fate as those who lost their morality and lost their country - or they will be guillotined or imprisoned in labor camps.
For example, the king of Capet at this moment, a poor man named Louis.
The day before yesterday, the revolutionaries had just stormed the prison in Pali, and today they are enveloping the masses and carrying artillery and rifles into the palace. There were even reporters from radical newspapers who followed them to the palace. Along the way, the attendants fled in panic, looking for their own way of life in this apocalyptic situation. Occasionally, a few loyal ones were quickly killed by the rifles in the hands of the revolutionaries.
It didn't take long for the revolutionaries to come to Louis's throne.
At this moment, he sat on his throne, looking at his subjects condescendingly as usual, but the fingers of his grip on the handle were trembling slightly, and the sweat on his face betrayed his will.
Louis gasped for breath, and although he was terrified to the extreme, he still wanted to calm himself down. But today it was impossible, Louis admitted, he had failed, he did not have the courage, he did not have the courage to roar at the rebels. He was not willing to admit that he was an unqualified king, he felt that he was innocent, and he was always thinking about the country, for his people!
His cousin is even inferior to the queen next to him.
The woman, named Mary, was holding her son tightly, glaring coldly at the intruding mob, not saying a word.
The reporter trembled and recorded with her pen what she saw, she witnessed the fall of a long dynasty, and she wanted to keep this moment forever in the records of history, this is her duty, and it is also her dream - she is going to be famous, she will definitely win all the news awards!
"Gentlemen, I think we can sit down calmly and have a good talk. Louis wiped his cold sweat, "If you want me to abdicate...... The edict is on the table, take it. As previously agreed. ”
"I'm sorry, Your Majesty. The leader of the mob pushed his men away and came to the king, who looked up at the monarch to whom he had been loyal, "The Provisional Constituent Assembly has decided that there will be no more monarchs in Capet. Whether it's your son or any other relative, we no longer recognize their right to rule over Capet. ”
Lightning streaked across the gloomy sky, accompanied by thunder, cries, laughter, and explosions in addition to the sound of rain, and the entire city of Pali had become a hell on earth. Killings and looting took place all over Pali at the same time, and it was a feast not only for the revolutionaries, but also for all the lower classes.
"You are sinning. The queen's angry rebuke rang out, "Look at what you have done! How have you ever contributed to the country except destruction or destruction?!"
“...... That's better than taking taxpayers' money to buy jewelry, Your Highness. The leader remained polite, but his voice said, "You should think about how much you have created a deficit for Capet." ”
The young crown prince shrunk in his mother's arms, looked at the strange man in front of him in horror, and could not say a word.
Looking at his wife and children, Louis suddenly regretted why he had repeatedly compromised in his life - he had compromised everywhere but only ushered in betrayal. When compromising with the nobility, the merchants will be angry, and when they compromise with the merchants, it will harm the interests of the nobles. No matter who they compromised with, they all ended up shaking their rule. At this moment, Louis vaguely understood why his father said that he had to break their backs with a big stick before he could give them turnips!
He thought that if he continued to rule with an iron fist like his father, the rule of the family would continue......
But there are no ifs, and he must pay for his misdeeds.
"It's time for the rule of the Valoa-Auvergne dynasty to come to an end. The leader said in a deep voice.
Louis didn't hear the leader's words, and he thought silently in his mind, where is his lovely daughter now? Hope...... She can escape the pursuit of the revolutionary army.
However, her daughter, the eldest princess of the Capetian kingdom, had been unfortunate enough to be captured by a group of ruffians and locked up in a gloomy cellar, where the mob of self-proclaimed messengers of justice formed in a half-circle, smiling lewdly at her
The gorgeous dress on his body was already in pieces, his beautiful cheeks were covered with tears, and his long black hair was covered with dust. That wasn't the point, though, because she was covered in bruises and wounds, and her pointed ears were covered in blood—you could tell with your brain what a terrible treatment she had suffered.
She clutched her chest in horror and moved back a little, but inadvertently, she knocked over the torture rack behind her.
"Oh, our beautiful princess, as long as you sign this document, we will let you go. A middle-aged man with squinted eyes walked up to her and smiled, "How's that? ”
