The rest of the ceremony will be a long time coming, but the best part is over. The onlookers dispersed one after another and headed for other locations.

"For the next three days, there will be various events in the city." Guo Kangjie said: "However, the main event is the street performances and free feasts, which are mainly prepared for ordinary citizens. You can go back. ”

"Can't we go and see?" Princess Jeanne asked.

"Of course you can, but to be honest, I don't recommend it." Guo Kang advised: "You may not know that the highlight of this kind of public activity is drinking. ”

"On our side, there are also quite a few wine regions. However, most of Khanting's winery industry is still not as good as the famous traditional production areas. Low-quality wine can't be sold, it's better to give it to everyone to drink and sell it for personal favors. This kind of ceremony is an occasion to take the opportunity to entertain everyone. ”

"Thousands of people drank together, and you can imagine the scene. Every time like this, policing is a daunting task. It's still all women and children, so I suggest that everyone stay in the mansion these days, take care of their own homes, and don't go out to fight with the drunks in the city. You are all nobles from the monarch's family, and if there is a mistake, I can't afford it. ”

"What do you see?" He glanced at Zhu Wenkui and then at Princess Ma.

However, Princess Jeanne was still in high spirits.

"I think it's fine." She insisted: "No matter how chaotic it is, can there be chaos in Paris?" I believe that Paris is the most unfriendly city in the world to the monarch, and I dare to go out there. ”

"......" Guo Kang didn't know how to answer her for a while.

The people of Wu Wangfu can be called a politician. The titular owner, Zhu Yunwen, has been missing all year round, and Princess Ma, who should theoretically be in charge of the family's housekeeping, is sick all year round.

Zhu Wenkui, another qualified escrow, actually prefers to strike iron rather than deal with government affairs. After meeting Guo Kang, he was like a fish in water, and often went to the cathedral to play with Guo Kang on the grounds of "engaging in diplomatic and religious activities". Now, he simply squatted in the blacksmith shop every day, and did not go to the Wu Wangfu to "go to the court" at all, and received the "important ministers of the palace" that his father pulled for him.

And even if they want to be in charge, they don't necessarily have control over other people. Princess Jeanna's status is quite special, and when Guo Kang received her by himself, he didn't know if she was a princess or a lower level, or simply nothing. Fortunately, the etiquette level of the Purple Horde was originally very grassy, and it was possible to deal with it if it didn't know. But obviously, whether she listens to Princess Ma and Zhu Wenkui, or even whether she listens to Zhu Yunwen's words, has to say something else.

With her mother "Zhuyu in front", little Jeanna is not far behind. Guo Kang is a traverser, and sometimes thinks that when she treats her brother, she is too much of a "bear child". Today's situation can also be imagined.

As for the others, Monk Daoyan was not a retainer of King Wu, but just rubbed it over by himself. In addition to reading books during this time, he just walked around and inquired about the situation. In addition to regularly lecturing to Princess Ma and others, he hardly does anything for the palace. Guo Kang didn't think that Zhu Wenkui's family could hold him.

And Jeanne Woman and others only have the title of an official in name. Zhu Yunwen actually couldn't afford much salary - he didn't have a stable income at all, and now except for the occasional donation from a few European businessmen who were wronged, there was only the royal palace funds sponsored by the Purple Horde. The latter is enough to feed a family, and more and more retainers are in short supply.

At the beginning, Zhu Yunwen thought about asking the Purple Horde to give more money, saying that he could let his retainers go to the Khan's court as guest secretaries. However, Zhu Wenkui's face was too thin to stand his actions, not only did he not ask for money, but also withheld the part that he had regularly squeezed out and sent to Zhu Yunwen on the grounds that the princess needed additional expenses for treatment. Those "retainers", just help find a job and let them work on their own.

When it came to this, Zhu Yunwen couldn't stand it, and he was embarrassed to ask for money again.

Zhu Wenkui himself complained that his father is basically making a living now. It sounds like they are beginning to restore the traditions of the old Zhu family......

In this situation, everyone was attracted to him, in fact, it was all for his promise. In this regard, Zhu Yunwen is very capable, at least for the middle and lower classes of Europe, "after the matter is completed, there are big officials to do", which is very attractive.

Guo Kang also thought it was outrageous at first, but then he thought about it, other nobles probably didn't even bother to brag.

The average European person in this year is estimated to be a knight. And only a strong monarch like England and France had the ability to systematically support these people of low origin to confront the local aristocracy. For most people, this is an opportunity that comes close by.

No matter what Zhu Yunwen says, he is also an Oriental, and in Europe in this era, he has a mysterious aura of "rich and powerful". He also has a group of followers, who can get the money and the way to defect. Looking at it this way, not to mention the commoners, even some unsatisfactory little nobles in the court have enough motivation to follow him.

Captain Jeska is over there, and he is actually a figure with a head and a face. And Jeanne also claimed to be a descendant of a nobleman - although she couldn't produce any evidence, she dared to say so publicly, at least she had to have some combat effectiveness, at least to beat other nobles who questioned it.

They are all the best in the middle and lower classes of Europe, and they can be considered relatively successful in recruiting these people. It's a pity that although Zhu Yunwen has the ability to pull people among the people, he obviously didn't inherit his grandfather's combat effectiveness. Otherwise, it is not impossible to take this group of people to fight Haixi Daming.

Some time ago, Zhu Wenkui also told Guo Kang that his father had recently analyzed the current situation in Alemanni and thought that the king's judgment was completely wrong. The key now is not to be honest with heretics large and small, but to use them to quell civil strife.

The Purple Horde had many enemies, and it was not necessary to fight them. The Hussites are also only a small local sect, and they are not a big problem at all.

The "Holy Roman Empire" was once a great power in Europe, but then it declined due to civil strife. Obviously, the problem of this country is not at all heretical, heretical, etc., but the princes everywhere.

Therefore, instead of entangled with the so-called heresy, it is better to use the power of these two parties to first flatten the princes of the country. As long as the plan to cut the feudal domain can be completed, Alemanni actually has hope of prosperity.

Of course, this is just a statement. It was of little use for him to help King Alemani, and people would certainly not listen to him. I guess it's just a whining and expressing dissatisfaction with the disadvantage of cutting the feudal domain......

In this state, Zhu Yunwen maintains the role of a nominal feudal monarch, which is already good. It's unlikely that you want to manage it better.

Guo Kang thought about it and decided to see what Zhu Wenkui said first.

As a result, Zhu Wenkui was also at a loss.

"Or else...... Guo Gongzi, will you lend me more of your guards? He said tentatively.

"My guards aren't good at security at all." Guo Kang reminded: "It's useless to lend it." ”

"Ah......" Zhu Wenkui couldn't help it.

In the end, it was Princess Ma who spoke up and helped him out of the siege:

"My sister wants to go and see the excitement, so naturally she can. It's just that we, as mothers, have to let our children be safer, so that we can play with confidence. It just so happens that I am resting at home for the past two days, so it is better to leave the children at home and take care of them. ”

Princess Jeanne didn't know much Greek, but she knew some basic Chinese and probably understood what she meant. Hearing her say this, I also feel that it is not very responsible to go out with the child. And the chaos outside really can't be taken care of. So I thought about it and agreed.

"Guo Gongzi, then bother you, and then I will inform the secretary and ask them to do a favor." Princess Ma said to Guo Kang again.

Guo Kang arched his hand and responded.

He estimated that with the current chaotic relationship, Princess Ma couldn't control Princess Jeanna, and it was right to push the boat down the river - and she might not want to care. Taking care of little Jeanne can be regarded as dedication.

As for the security issue, she didn't ask Guo Kang to help first, like Zhu Wenkui, but just asked him to tell him. After all, Guo Kang really can't help with this matter.

In this matter, she is indeed more thoughtful than Zhu Wenkui.

Guo Kang always felt that Zhu Wenkui was not only striking iron, but also should learn more about this aspect. It stands to reason that he often helps with various affairs, and I don't know why, but he hasn't made much progress. You can't keep scaring people by pretending to be a big shelf.

Moreover, this shelf is also for outsiders to see. For people who are familiar and close to them, it is impossible to pretend, and it may not be useful to entangle manners and language.

The real emperors of the Ming Dynasty did not even call themselves lonely every day, and only on formal written occasions did they pay special attention to these. Like Zhu Yuanzhang himself, he has always called himself "we". Others advised him to develop the habit of saying "I", but he couldn't change it. And Zhu Wenkui's fourth grandfather, Zhu Di, likes to call himself "me" in history. In short, few are very urbane.

When it comes to struggling with this, it may also mean that there is really nothing else that can maintain authority.

Guo Kang decided to find a time to talk to him. Even from an official point of view, maintaining the sense of existence of King Wu's family is valuable to the Purple Horde.

He led the crowd out of the stands and to the parking spot outside the square. Just as I was about to go, there seemed to be a conflict ahead.

"Drinking too much now?" Guo Kang was very surprised.

Many people next to him gathered around curiously, and their group also looked over. I saw the crowd in a circle, and two people dressed as captives were fighting inside.

"What's going on?" Guo Kang asked loudly: "Why did you start a fight by yourself?" ”

"It's Guo Gongzi. Oh, these two just accused each other. One of the hundred households recognized him and said.

"Accuse what?" Guo Kang asked: "Let them stop fighting, and ask about the situation." ”

Baihu pulled out the rattan, pushed the crowd away, and beat the two to separate them. The new onlookers also asked questions, so one of the tall ones immediately pushed the other away and shouted accusations: "Everyone! This Lelva was a Polish nobleman. He had always called himself French, and he wanted to get away with it. But I don't think so. He must pay for his actions and that of his fellow citizens. You say, "Oh yes!" ”

"Really?" Many people were puzzled.

"Don't listen to him." The short man known as Lerva also shouted: "He is a Polish nobleman, his whole family is a Polish nobleman!" ”

"Stop shouting." Baihu twitched again: "Tell me, what's going on." ”

"I'm innocent! I was a native of France and was hired by the Poles to design a farmstead. I don't know why I was arrested either, but I'm certainly not a Pole! Lélva argued.

"It's this Peter Tesko, he's certainly a Pole. His father fled from Poland to England, gave birth to him, and then both returned to work for the Poles. He's a Polish bastard through and through! ”

"Who are you scolding, Lao Tzu is a mercenary, a fart aristocrat. It's not Lao Tzu's decision to give his life to whom. Texko immediately retorted, "My stupid mercenary captain has to drag everyone to death, but we didn't know the specific situation before." ”

"Sir." He pleaded with the hundred households: "We are all poor people who have been blinded, and are willing to redeem ourselves with ransom or coolies. As for the captain who did all the evil, he is dead, atoning for his crimes. So, you don't have to punish me anymore, do you? ”

The audience looked at each other.

"What's going on?" Zhu Wenkui asked strangely.

"This is trying to kill people with a knife." Guo Kang told him: "It is customary for us to execute Polish nobles, and the commoners are sent to various places to do hard labor or sold to slave traders. As a result, captured Polish nobles often tried to evade punishment by posing as serfs or claiming to be foreigners. ”

"Huh? I thought they would insist on being Poles and aristocrats. Zhu Wenkui was a little surprised.

"That kind of thing, when you usually pretend to be superior, of course, you have to blow it up. It's a pity that in the current situation, these 'noble statuses' are a burden. Guo Kang laughed.

"People who usually like to say that they are proud of being Poles and nobles are not necessarily really proud of it. Most people just want to take advantage of this status. When this identity is not only not beneficial, but a burden, many people will decisively give it up and choose a safer way. ”

"We actually encourage that kind of behavior." He whispered to Zhu Wenkui: "In fact, every time I capture a prisoner, I can catch a few people who would rather admit that they are not Poles or nobles. We deliberately make them take a public oath in front of other Poles – don't say it, even if they say they believe in the Father, there are many people who lie in front of the Father to save their lives. ”

"Well, then ...... like that," Zhu Wenkui thought.

"In that case, the follow-up will be very interesting." Guo Kang said with a smile.
