Chapter 1809 Chaos in Paris

The day after the mission stopped in Paris, three noblemen in robes were arrested in the Kingdom of France, and the cardinal accused them of being behind the attack on the mission.

There was an uproar in the city of Paris. Some nobles and civilians were dissatisfied with the French court after the war, and a large-scale rebellion broke out. The civilians built barricades overnight to block the roads, and threw stones at some noble houses. , especially fiscal restructuring.

Chu Lingyun and the others temporarily lived in a house outside the Louvre, surrounded by the envoy's own guards and a group of French cavalry sent by Prince Condé to protect them.

They could hear the noise and even the sound of guns from all over the city of Paris in the house.Because there were also civilians throwing stones towards the place where they lived until they were expelled by the French knights.

"I didn't expect that our arrival would cause chaos in the Kingdom of France." Chu Zixin stood at the window, looking at the smoldering city of Paris.

"The gunpowder has been planted before our arrival. Without us, it will explode. We are just the fuse. This is more troublesome. We can't benefit from the attack. They can be said to be the work of the rebels. And the French royal family does not need to make even a little compensation, just a superficial apology." Chu Lingyun saw the problem.

Prince Rupert said: "It should still have something to do with us. The reason why we became the fuse is probably because we had captured Paris before, which made many people who resisted us feel resentment. There may also be a relationship with the new king Louis. It is related to the coronation of the fourteenth and the death of the old king Louis XIII. Paris is a strange city. At that time, several groups of rebels were organized to fight one after another, and now they are targeting their king and cardinal."

"Louis XIV and Mazarin handed over three robed nobles to us, and determined that they were behind the attack on the mission. Can we accept it? Or should we continue to put pressure on the French royal family and make more demands? ?”

Prince Rupert still let Chu Lingyun from the Eastern Capital make the decision. After all, the other party is the head of the envoy this time, and he was just here to show off.

Chu Lingyun thought for a while: "I think the mud pond in the Kingdom of France is very deep. We shouldn't spend too much time here, and our lives may even be in danger. We still have many kingdoms to notify, and France is just one of them. And as I As I said, Louis XIV and Mazarin have identified the rebels as the mastermind behind the scenes, and our pressure is only to let them punish the murderer as soon as possible. They want to hand over the robed nobles, and use our hands to eradicate these arrested people, maybe Instead, it made them happy."

"Murder with a borrowed knife? It's possible... Also, no matter how chaotic the French kingdom is, it has nothing to do with us." Prince Rupert also walked to the window and heard the noise in the city. "We should leave this place of right and wrong as soon as possible. Bar."

This diplomatic incident was originally an extremely dangerous event, but the fact that the ambassador was killed and not killed were completely different consequences.

If Chu Lingyun and Chu Zixin were killed in Paris, it would most likely lead to war. If they were lucky and they were not ordered by the French royal family, the consequences would be far less serious.

Three robed nobles were imprisoned. The robed nobles in various French courts were unhappy with the arrestees and suffered from the exploitation of the French monarch and the cardinal. With the rapid intensification of the attack on the envoys, the whole city was in a state of chaos. paralysis.

Especially when Sun Chuanting and Prince Rupert captured Paris, the rebels in Paris planned to defend Paris with backward firearms. As a result, King Louis XIII abandoned Paris and fled for his life.Such behavior had a great negative impact on the royal family, and many people even had the idea of ​​​​overthrowing the Bourbon dynasty.

The city where tens of 10 people gathered fell into chaos, and some nobles also participated in the rebellion. They were elected by the citizens as representatives to fight against the soldiers led by Prince Condé.

Facing the tremendous pressure, the young King Louis XIV was a little at a loss. This was not just a matter of the anger of the common people, and apparently the nobles were behind it.

"Just one month after the late king left, a rebellion broke out in Paris. There must be nobles coveting power. Please don't worry, Your Majesty. We will arrest the people behind it as soon as possible and restore order in the city." Mazaran calmed the king's emotions.

At present, the Cardinal Archbishop is still presiding over major events, and Louis XIV is still completely incapable of leading the Kingdom of France.

"How to deal with the three arrested nobles in robes? Is there a way to satisfy the Chinese people and there is no reason to make harsh demands on us?" Louis XIV asked.

"The mastermind refuses to admit the conspiracy to assassinate the mission. But according to my estimation, it is very likely that they did it. There is no need for evidence, we can accuse them of what they did. I have handed them over to the Huaxia people. Most of them are There is a dead end, the Huaxia people must have nothing to say, and they can also tell the civilians outside the palace that this is the request of the Huaxia people, and we cannot refuse. This plan can kill two birds with one stone." Mazaran said.

While the two were talking, a court minister came to report: "Your Majesty the King, Your Excellency the Archbishop, the Chinese and English envoys have come to see you again."

Chu Lingyun, Chu Zixin, Prince Rupert and others came in and said to the two most powerful people in the French Kingdom: "We have been bothering you for a long time, and we are taking care of you. But there are still many kingdoms that need us to visit, and we want to leave Paris."

Both Louis XIV and Mazarin were deeply surprised by their farewell. The other party also left too fast, right?

"How are you going to deal with the people who planned to assassinate you?" Mazaran asked.

Chu Lingyun replied: "Since the murderer behind the scenes is a member of your Kingdom of France, it is up to your Kingdom of France to decide how to deal with it. I believe you will give us a satisfactory answer."

Mazaran's eyes froze. Although the opponent looked young, he kicked the ball back again, and let France solve this mess by himself.

And the other party was a little too calm, and he didn't lose control of his emotions when he was almost assassinated.

In fact, no matter which side dealt with the three robed nobles who were accused of assassinating the envoys, what awaited them was a dead end. The difference was who made the decision.

If Chu Lingyun asked the Kingdom of France to execute them, it would be easy to be regarded as an outside interference, which would make the common people in Paris feel disgusted.

On the contrary, if the cardinal ordered their execution, the cardinal may have to add another crime to the civilians.
