The sun never sets in America

Chapter 196 Chaos in France and the Countess

Paris, France…

After two weeks of riots, the city finally settled down.

But the price paid was unparalleled. First, the Parisians wanted to hold a celebration to celebrate the founding father of the United States, Washington, but the French government did not agree.

Conflict ensued, and the French, as they always do, took to the streets to cause trouble whenever anything happened.

If the development of the original time and space was followed, the French King Louis Philippe should have resigned the current Prime Minister Guizot by the next day to calm public opinion. Although he fled Paris in panic in less than a month and lost his leadership The crown for eighteen years.

At least this was true in the original time and space. A king who came to power through conspiracy and violent suppression finally fled in embarrassment with such an absurd ending. It must be said that this is a joke played by history.

But all of this was destroyed by a lieutenant colonel officer named Gabriel, who changed this time and space in the most powerful way, at least changing the ridiculous fate of Louis Philippe.

First, because the conflict broke out in advance, Guizot was not allowed to step down. Later, colonial troops were mobilized back to France to brutally suppress the Paris citizens.

Louis Philippe's life is heading more and more towards the path of a tyrant, and there is a tendency that he will never return.

Lieutenant Colonel Gabriel, who changed time and space, was promoted to major general and commander of the Paris region because of his meritorious service in suppressing the riots.

It can be said that it only took Gabriel less than three months to go from a colonial lieutenant colonel who was transferred back to Paris to a high-ranking Paris general, and these three months were a gap that was difficult for ordinary people to cross.

And Louis Philippe also got what he wanted, a Paris that obeyed him. On the surface, that was indeed the case.

After all, those who directly stood up to resist were already dead.

But this was only on the surface. Behind the scenes, the name Louis Philippe, the Tyrant Philippe, spread like wildfire.

In London, Louis Napoleon Bonaparte also published a so-called article criticizing Louis Philippe.

"Our country, a country defended with blood, a country with a glorious tradition and the great era of Napoleon..." Louis Napoleon Bonaparte started playing the Napoleon card as soon as he came up.

"What is happening in our country now? The conspirator and the country he controls are living in a precarious situation. The tricolor flag of France is stained with blood. This blood is not that of the enemy, but of Parisians and French people. !!”

"The tyrant and his minions are trying to stop the mouths of France, the mouths of Paris..."

"The Parisians are fighting, the French are fighting, we will never surrender, we will fight them anywhere until complete victory!!"

Louis Napoleon Bonaparte secretly published an article in the Lyon Journal on March 1848, [-].

Although this article was ordered to be taken down, the original manuscript has long been circulated everywhere.

For a time, undercurrents surged. Louis Philippe, the ruling foundation of the Orleans Dynasty was not stabilized after the bloody suppression. Instead, there were loopholes everywhere in France. Once a problem emerged that could not be solved quickly, King Louis Philippe would also When it's over.

In fact, a more fierce resistance was brewing in Paris and in France until the day it broke out.

But before that, a grand celebration dinner was being held at the Palace of Versailles.

…………

In a hall of the splendid Palace of Versailles, hundreds of French and foreign celebrities and ministers from various countries gathered together.

They were all guests who received invitations from Louis Philippe, the current King of France.

Before Louis Philippe, the real owner, arrived, everyone present used their natural instincts and kept circling in the hall.

"Mr. Minister, what do you think of the recent situation in France??" British Minister Edel looked at Zhou Huahua, the Chinese minister to France, and asked about everything that has happened in France recently.

"Your Excellency, Baron, I believe that France's disaster is not over. This time is just a temporary relief. The real danger is still behind." Zhou Haohua directly addressed the other party by his title, and also asserted that France's The disaster has just begun.

"I think so too, Mr. Minister!!" After hearing this, Edel agreed with Zhou Huahua in a like-minded tone.

"But Mr. Minister, don't you think that King Louis Philippe is too reckless??" Edel talked about Louis Philippe to Zhou Haohua, "I think even Her Majesty the Queen would not dare to Doing such a thing in your own capital!!" To be honest, Edel was really frightened by Louis Philippe's suppression of the Parisians. He couldn't believe that Louis Philippe really dared to do such a thing. This is Paris, not The Lyon he suppressed back then? ?
  "Maybe this is France..." In the end, Zhou Haohao could only answer Edel with such an ambiguous sentence.

Edel, on the other hand, didn't listen and kept thinking about the problem just now.

Edel really couldn't understand why Louis Philippe was so reckless. He wanted to make his rule the way it is now and rely on force to maintain it. What on earth did he want to do? ?

This is a question that ministers from various countries, including Eder, have been thinking about recently.

After all, no ruler would destroy the cornerstone of his rule like this, but now Louis Philippe has done it. He has successfully done it. Although it left hidden dangers, the problem was finally solved, although this was temporary.

They only saw Louis Philippe's desperate suppression and destroyed the cornerstone of his rule, but they did not see that once Louis Philippe gave up suppression or even adopted an appeasement compromise, an even more embarrassing ending would be waiting for him.

Even because of the suppression, if he loses control in the end, his end may not be better than that of the king also named Louis.

But now, everything has been temporarily covered up. Only when it breaks out will we know how serious it is.

"coming……"

"he came……"

"he came……"

Just as Edel and Zhou Huahua continued to talk about other things, a commotion came from the hall, and then disappeared.

Louis-Philippe and Queen Mary appeared in the hall, gorgeously dressed in king's attire.

"Hello, His Majesty the King..."

"Your Majesty the King, I am from the Bank of Paris..."

"Your Majesty the King..."

In the crowd, Louis Philippe shook hands with those people one by one, with a signature smile on his face.

But everyone knows what a terrible devil is underneath this smile. In two weeks, more than [-] people died in Paris. This is a terrifying number, but within these two weeks, because of the resistance, more than [-] people died in Paris. This tyrant was ruthlessly and cruelly killed.

"Hello, His Majesty the King..." Zhou Huahua shook hands with Louis Philippe in fluent French, "Congratulations, Your Majesty the King, you have won a great victory!!" Zhou Huahua didn't care about the eyes of the people around him and said to Louis. Philip celebrated.

"Thank you, Mr. Minister!!" Louis Philippe shook hands with Zhou Huahua first, and then couldn't help but look at Zhou Huahua and asked:

"If I remember correctly, you are the minister of Han, why do you say that I am a victory this time, not a tyrant??"

Louis Philippe shouted the word tyrant extremely loudly, causing the expressions of the people around him to change, and they looked towards where Louis Philippe and Zhou Haohua were.

"If stopping the riot is not a victory, then what else can be considered a victory?" Zhou Haohua boldly asked Louis Philippe without caring about the eyes of the people around him.

"Do you think they are riots rather than justice??" After hearing this, Louis Philippe asked Zhou Huahua in surprise.

He really didn't expect that when most people called him a tyrant and the rioters heroes, some people actually said that he was right.

And it was said by a foreigner, which made him incredible.

"Of course, if a country can rob and fight against the military and police at will, then the people of this country don't matter!"

Zhou Huahua looked at Louis Philippe and continued to answer regardless of the strange looks around him. "And if to commemorate the rejection of a foreigner, you have to target your own motherland and start a riot in your own country's capital, what does this mean?"

Zhou Huahua said loudly, this sentence was not only meant for Louis Philippe, but also for other people around him.

Compared to Louis Philippe, who had a rosy complexion and became more and more energetic the more he listened, the others had different expressions. Some showed disdain and disdain, while others were secretly thinking about right and wrong. Some even looked at Zhou Huahua and even Han. The country became hostile, and these people were secretly opponents of Louis Philippe.

They wished that Louis Philippe would get out and hand over the rights of the country to them.

"Well said, if all French people could be like you, Mr. Minister, let me see, the King of France will be even more powerful than he is now!!" Louis Philippe said to Zhou Huahua happily.

"I heard that your country defeated the United States a few years ago. I still didn't believe it. When I heard the minister's speech today, it turned out that he was indeed a great country!" Naturally, I wanted to give Han Guo face, so I blew Han Guo and Zhou Huahua off in front of everyone.

No one else had any reaction, only the American minister showed embarrassment on his face. After all, the one who was defeated by Han in the story, and the supporting role in the defeat and stepping stone was the United States.

Then Louis-Philippe left Zhou Haohua's position and continued to shake hands and talk with others, laughing and talking enthusiastically from time to time, as if the riots and suppression that had just occurred no longer existed.

The climax of the party did not officially come until Louis Philippe announced the start of the ball.

"Hello, handsome oriental gentleman..." Dancing with Zhou Huahua was a countess, wearing a gorgeous dance skirt and beautiful dance shoes, showing her proud figure to everyone on the dance floor at all times.

"Madam, you are also very beautiful." Zhou Haohao lowered his eyelids and looked down. Then he pretended to be a gentleman and replied to the countess.

"Haha... You are really good at making people happy. I think you must have deceived many women." After hearing this, the Countess first laughed like a silver bell at Zhou Huahua, and then made a few coquettish noises at Zhou Huahua, as if Like a coquettish person, coupled with those charming eyes, Zhou Huahua almost fell into it and was unable to extricate himself...

"Madam, I think you must have deceived many men, for example, men like me." Seeing that the people around him didn't react, as if they were used to it, Zhou Haohua became bold and hugged the count's wife's hand. Be bolder.

"Haha..." The countess laughed again when she heard this.

"I have deceived many men, but I have never deceived an oriental man like you." The countess replied to Zhou Haohao with a seductive look, "But I think I can realize this wish soon, dear Zhou , will you let me realize it??" The countess stared at Zhou Huahua with charming eyes and said, her tone was frivolous and endearing.

"Madam, if Your Excellency the Count hears this, he will be sad!!" Zhou Haohua reminded the Countess. Although he knew that French people like to play lovers, he is not a Westerner after all. If he makes the matter bigger No, he can't afford it.

"He's already dead, not a few years ago..." When Zhou Huahua mentioned his incompetent husband, the Countess showed a disdainful expression on her face, as if she looked down on her husband. Same.

"I don't know if you can do it?" The countess put her hand on Zhou Haohao's shoulder and asked with a charming look.

"I-I'll be good at it!!"

Zhou Huahao raised his eyebrows and looked at the Countess and replied.

The two looked at each other and could tell what the other was thinking.

After the dinner, Zhou Huahua left the Palace of Versailles with the graceful and charming Countess in his arms.

And the people around are not surprised, after all, this is a French tradition! !
  When Louis Philippe learned about the affairs of the Han minister Zhou Huahua and the countess, he laughed and then ordered:
  "Tomorrow, let those romantic Han ministers come and have lunch with me."

.............................................

A ray of sunlight passed through the gap in the shutter window and shone on the large bed inside.

Lying on the bed was a man and a woman with their arms exposed.

When the sun shone on Zhou Haohao's face, he struggled to get up. He was dazed for a moment to ease his emotions, and then turned back to look at the countess who was still sleeping beside him.

Last night, he finally learned the other party's name. Her name was Sophia, and she was the wife of a count during the Bourbon Dynasty.

Of course, not last night, she was her own! !
  "My dear, you're awake..." The Countess opened her eyes and looked at Zhou Haohua, who showed a strong figure next to her, with a hint of fascination in her eyes.

"Madam, I have to leave, otherwise Mr. Count will come back." Zhou Haohua said looking at the Countess beside him.

"Then you should go down out of the window, just like Robinson." The countess stretched out her arm, pointed to the shutter window opposite, and said to Zhou Haohua with a smile.

"I'm not Robinson, I'm not even Ximen Qing." Zhou Haohua said something that the countess couldn't understand, and then put on his clothes.

"I'm leaving, madam..." Zhou Haohua looked at the delicate countess and finally kissed her.

The countess just watched Zhou Haohua leave the room.

"Ah...Sofia, you are really crazy. You actually did that kind of thing with an oriental man you have never met before..."

"you this……"

After Zhou Haohua closed the door, the countess suddenly yelled. Finally, she stuffed her head into the quilt and almost shouted out the shieldable French sentence.

Zhou Haohua, who left the earl's manor, soon received news that he was going to the Palace of Versailles for lunch.

Before leaving, Zhou Haohua explained the work in the legation, and then took the royal carriage to the Palace of Versailles, which he had visited last night.

After following the attendant into the Palace of Versailles, Zhou Huahua didn't look much and was taken into a quaint room. Strangely, there was an oil painting of Emperor Napoleon hanging in it, which reminded him of the recent portrait of Louis Napoleon Bonaparte. open letter.

A strange expression appeared on Zhou Huahua's face.

"Hello, Mr. Minister, welcome to the Palace of Versailles." Today, Louis Philippe was dressed in simple Western-style aristocratic clothing when he received Zhou Huahua. His formal appearance was completely different from yesterday's.

"Hello, His Majesty the King..." Zhou Huahua bowed slightly in front of Louis Philippe and saluted Louis Philippe in a decent way. After all, the other party was a king.

"Mr. Minister, how is France??" Louis Philippe asked politely.

"France is very good, but it was a bit chaotic a while ago." Zhou Huahua neither said anything bad nor denied what happened recently.

"They are all those bastards, they are the biggest scourge of France!!" Louis Philippe said angrily when he heard this.

"Mr. Minister, do you really think I did it right?" Louis Philippe still inevitably asked the same question as yesterday, which showed how guilty he was.

"Of course, just like I answered last night, everything your Majesty does is reasonable and legal!!" Zhou Haohua looked at Louis Philippe and replied without hesitation.

"But they all said..." Louis Philippe continued to Zhou Huahua with some difficulty.

"They all say I am a tyrant!!" Louis Philippe said to Zhou Haohao with an ugly face.

"Your Majesty the King, you don't need to pay attention to those people. Just like what His Majesty the King of Han said, the more the enemy opposes us, the more it proves that we are doing the right thing. If we do nothing, that would be the most stupid thing." Zhou Huahua He said a famous saying by Liu Peng.

"The king of your country is the real ruler and a Caesar!!" After hearing this, Louis Philippe praised Han King Liu Peng and even used the word Caesar, which symbolizes the Roman emperor.

Then Louis Philippe talked with Zhou Huahua about the recent events in France.

Zhou Haohua either agreed or said something nice, but he didn't go into depth. After all, no one knew what would happen to France in the end.

When Zhou Huahua left the Palace of Versailles, he looked back at this tall and luxurious palace and sighed deeply.

From the conversation just now, he knew that Louis Philippe was not far away from losing the throne.

Han must make plans early! !
