King's Landing in France

Chapter 79 His Majesty the King feels that he is OK again

From the adoption of the Declaration of Human Rights, the focus of the National Assembly turned to discussing the specific provisions of the Constitution.

An Ning was very silent during this time, because he was worried that as soon as he spoke, he would say something beyond the times to shock everyone.

He didn't want to be honored by Ma Sheng later.

An Ning's silence made his friends a little strange, and Danton joked that he saved the parliament so that he could have a place to nap.

During this time, An Ning's attention was all on his small army.

It's not that he has any special hobbies for military training, it's mainly that these big soldiers will blow him all kinds of rainbow farts, which makes him very useful.

Throughout September, An Ning supervised the training of her small army in the manor in the morning, and only went out to check in at the National Assembly in Versailles in the afternoon. After checking in, she found a place under the sun to take a nap comfortably.

After doing this a few times, he acquired a new nickname: Sleeper of the National Assembly.

Members of the National Assembly even bet on him whose speech would wake An Ning up.

So far, no one's speech has been able to do this.

But Louis XVI did it.

That day, the parliament was in progress, and suddenly a representative rushed in from the outside and said loudly, "It's not good! The big thing is not good!"

Mounier stood up and patted the table: "Calm down. What happened?"

"Come out and take a look! In the camp of the Swiss Army that was just evacuated in July, another army has come!"

The representatives looked at each other and whispered.

Dandong desperately patted An Ning on the shoulder: "Get up, something has happened!"

An Ning yawned and got up, squinting her sleepy eyes: "What's the matter?"

"The king has sent another army!"

An Ning: "Another tune?"

At this time, another representative ran in from outside: "I asked the officers who were marching into the station. They were the Flanders Legion originally stationed in the Flanders area, with 60,000 people!"

The delegates were shocked: "60,000 people!"

"That's 40,000 more people than the Swiss mercenaries!"

"That's already more than the total number of National Guards in Paris!"

"What does the king want?"

Dandong turned to An Ning and said, "Quick, Andy, it's time for you to appear on the stage, don't you have a small army, do something!"

An Ning: "My small army is only 200 people. What can I do with an army of 60,000 people? You should go to Lafayette."

The National Guard has 30,000 people at four points, which is really comparable to the 60,000 people of the Flanders Army.

At this time Lafayette stood up: "Quiet! I think at this time, we should send a representative to ask His Majesty to see what he wants to do."

Immediately, several representatives agreed: "That's right! Go ask!"

Lafayette: "I think it's up to me, Chairman Mounier and representative Mirabeau to meet His Majesty, and the others are here to wait for news."

Suddenly, a representative shouted: "Take Mr. Frost, he has challenged the king several times, and the king is afraid of him!"

An Ning was shocked, how the hell can this CUE me?I have obviously been fishing in the parliament for half a month, so it stands to reason that you should forget about me, right?
Immediately another representative agreed: "That's right! Frost usually takes a nap, now it's time for him to show up!"

"He is the evil star of the king!"

No, I am not!Your Majesty, listen to me, I'm just a follower of the fence!
More and more MPs are shouting: "Mr. Frost, it's your turn!"

"It's time to save the Parliament again!"

Standing on the podium, Lafayette looked unhappy. He probably didn't want An Ning to get involved in this matter, but he couldn't hold back everyone's enthusiasm.

So he looked at An Ning: "Mr. Frost, what's your intention?"

An Ning stood up: "I'm just an artillery officer, Captain, I can't say anything about this..."

A representative interrupted An Ning: "Versailles is the closest in your army! You are clearly ready to come to force the palace at any time!"

An Ning was shocked. My troops were indeed stationed in the wilderness between Paris and Versailles, but that was because the house given to me by the Duke of Orleans was there.

If the house he gave me was on the other side of Paris, my troops would be stationed there.

I don't care where the station is, the Duke of Orleans has the final say.

An Ning: "That's just an artillery unit of 200 people, not even the number of guards that usually guard the Palace of Versailles. I don't want to force the palace..."

"You go together!" The representatives interrupted An Ning again.

An Ning raised her eyebrows, but she couldn't help it: "Okay, okay, I'll go with Lafayette, Mounier, and Mr. Mirabeau."

By the way, Mounier and Mirabeau have become the leaders of the parliament because they have been particularly active in the parliament in the past month, and Mounier is also the speaker of the parliament.

As for Lafayette, as the person who holds military power in the parliament, he naturally has a lofty status.

Lafayette: "It's not too late, let's meet His Majesty right now."

**
Louis XVI seems to be in very good spirits today.

As soon as he saw the representatives of the parliament, he greeted them enthusiastically: "Gentlemen, good morning!"

"Good morning, Your Majesty." Lafayette shaved off his hair and saluted, and then got straight to the point, "Today we saw the Flanders Legion is staying in a camp near Versailles, may I ask this..."

Louis XVI smiled and said: "Gentlemen, what are you worried about? I just transferred the legion from a remote station to Paris so that they can enjoy their lives. I am ready to feast the officers of the legion at Versailles." , all representatives can also participate.”

Lafayette, Mirabeau and Mounier looked at each other, and Mirabeau also glanced at An Ning.

Mounier: "Your Majesty, I'm afraid that it may cause misunderstandings by mobilizing the army near Paris at this time..."

"What misunderstanding?" Louis XVI asked back, "Please explain to me what misunderstanding is. Don't I have the right to mobilize troops loyal to me?"

While talking, Queen Mary opened the door and entered the study.

The queen did not speak, but stood silently behind the king.

Louis XVI glanced at his wife, then straightened his face, and said to the visiting crowd: "I read the Declaration of Human Rights and the August Act you passed, don't you think these two laws are a bit too nonsense? Especially the Declaration of Human Rights , according to this declaration, kingship will no longer exist! The declaration of human rights must be changed to include the clause of respecting kingship!"

Everyone looked at each other, and An Ning took a step forward: "What if we don't do this? Will you let the Flanders Legion disarm the National Guard?"

An Ning mainly wanted to test it out to see how determined Louis XVI was.

Louis XVI, however, clearly hesitated.

"Then... anyway, you must add respect for royal power!" Louis XVI emphasized again, "Even in Britain, the constitutional monarchy you admire, they have not trampled on royal power like this!"

Mounier still wanted to speak, but the king issued an order to evict the guests: "Enough, tonight I will entertain the officers of the Flanders Legion, and I have to prepare a banquet. Please leave!"
