Video spoilers history, starting with the blitzkrieg on Poland

A new sky appeared.

A scene of a magnificently decorated Western palace appeared in the picture.

At the palace banquet, a large group of nobles dressed in gorgeous clothes were singing and dancing, enjoying themselves.

A man dressed as a foreign envoy walked up to a man wearing a crown and marked as Louis XIV in a flattering manner.

Say auspicious words in a flattering manner.

Louis XIV just smiled calmly and said, "It's just so-so. I've only slightly renovated the Palace of Versailles. It's not perfect yet."

Following Louis XIV's "Versailles", the camera begins to switch across the entire Palace of Versailles.

Its ultimate luxury and unique aesthetic design concept have deeply attracted many ancient emperors.

Sui Dynasty.

Even Yang Guang said:
"Although my palace is more magnificent."

"But this Palace of Versailles is indeed quite interesting."

"The Emperor's palace should be like this!"

The sky screen then begins the official story.

[I came from Dandong... and took away a piece of snow]

[Today we are going to talk about a ruler who is known as the Sun! ]

【Yes! 】

【He is the Sun King of France, Louis XIV! 】

[His light is so bright that he is called the Sun King! ]

[Today, more than three hundred years later, when we read history books, we can still feel the burning mark left by this sun.]

[He wore a golden wig symbolizing the sun god and was worshipped by thousands of people in the Hall of Mirrors at the Palace of Versailles.]

[He invented high heels and champagne etiquette, which were imitated by aristocrats throughout Europe.]

[His 72-year rule is like a never-ending Baroque opera, interweaving power, art and bloody wars.]

[He pushed France to an unprecedented peak and made himself a symbol of the era. 】

[His palace, Versailles, is still a popular Internet term. ]

【He is Louis Dieudonné Bourbon. 】

【Known in history as Louis XIV. 】

[How did a 5-year-old child who ascended the throne grow up to become the Sun King who made all of Europe tremble? ]

[On September 1638, 9, a long-lost cheer rang out at the Château de Saint-Germain-en-Laye in Paris.]

[After 23 years of childless marriage, Louis XIII and Anne of Austria finally welcomed their "God-given son." ]

[The baby's cry not only announced the birth of the heir to the throne, but also saved the Bourbon dynasty from a ruling crisis. ]

[The birth of this child is of great significance to the Bourbon dynasty. ]

[Because before this, the royal family had been facing a succession crisis. ]

[The nobles have even begun to stir up undercurrents, plotting a change of power. ]

[The arrival of this baby boy was like a ray of light that dispelled the haze that had enveloped the French royal family.]

[This boy named Louis-Dieudonné has lived in a vortex of contradictions since birth. ]

[His cradle was inlaid with golden lilies.]

【But at the same time, an exorcism charm is hung. 】

[Because the court doctors firmly believed that Queen Mother Anne's giving birth to a child at the age of 43 must be the work of the devil. ]

【Young Louis has not had time to grow up.】

[On May 1643, 5, Louis XIII died of tuberculosis. Before his death, he set up a regency committee to check the power of the Queen Mother.]

[However, just hours after the king died, the Paris High Court overturned the will.]

【Louis XIV, who was only 5 years old, was crowned king, and the real power fell into the hands of his mother, Queen Anne, and her lover, Italian Cardinal Mazarin. 】

【Mazarin is an Italian with great political skills.】

[He had already begun to emerge during the reign of Louis XIII and became the king's right-hand man. ]

[While assisting the young Louis XIV, Mazarin continued his usual diplomatic strategy and gained more benefits for France through a series of wars and diplomatic means.]

[However, his autocracy and greed for wealth also aroused dissatisfaction among the French nobility and the people. ]

[In 1648, the Fronde Movement broke out in France. ]

[The movement was initially sparked by the Paris High Court's dissatisfaction with Mazarin's policies.]

[But it soon turned into a full-scale rebellion in which the nobles, parliament and common people united against the royal power. ]

[In January 1649, young Louis XIV was urgently awakened by his mother. ]

[The rebellion broke out, barricades were built in the streets of Paris, and the mob smashed the windows of royal supporters with slingshots (Fronde).]

[The Fronde, hence the name of the movement.]

[The royal family fled to Saint-Germain-en-Laye in a hurry and began a life of exile that lasted for several years.]

[The King of France even had to sleep on a pile of straw.]

And outside the sky.

Qin Dynasty.

When Ying Zheng saw the Fronde mobs in the picture, he actually openly rebelled.

The King of France was forced to flee in panic.

Very dissatisfied.

As the Emperor of Qin, Ying Zheng naturally disliked these rebels.

At the same time, Ying Zheng also recalled the content about the French Revolution that Tianmu had introduced before.

The French Revolution was also a rebellion by a group of unruly people.

Even Louis XVI was beheaded.

Thinking about Louis XVI, looking at Louis XIV.

Ying Zheng couldn't help but frown and said, "Why are things in France always so bad?"

Canopy.

[In 1651, the rebel leader Prince Condé invaded Paris. ]

【Forcing Louis XIV to walk through the streets under the hail of bullets to show the people "freedom". 】

[Though the rebellion was eventually quelled.]

【But this event also shaped Louis XIV's ruling philosophy. 】

[He realized a truth: the nobility cannot be trusted, Paris cannot be relied upon, and power must be absolute. ] [In this storm of rebellion, Cardinal Mazarin's rule was the main cause of the chaos. ]

【But at the same time, Mazarin was also Louis XIV's most important political mentor. 】

[This Italian priest was well versed in political tactics. He taught the young king three key lessons:]

【The first lesson is "The Power of Silence." 】

[Mazarin asked Louis to always speak last in meetings, and to maintain mystery by saying "I will consider it."]

[The second lesson is "divide and rule". He deliberately indulged the nobles in internal fighting, and then reaped the benefits as an arbitrator. ]

[The most ingenious lesson is "Performance Domination".]

[He made Louis XIV practice every day to maintain a dignified demeanor in public, and even the arc of his smile had to be precisely controlled.]

[In 1658, the 20-year-old Louis XIV first showed his prowess on the battlefield.]

【He personally led the army to quell the rebellion on the border. 】

[This is of course to gain merit and prestige. ]

【But when countless soldiers shouted long live the king. 】

[Mazaran, as the lover, was also pleased and whispered to the Queen Mother: "Look, we created a god."]

Barrage:

"No wonder Louis XIV didn't live in Paris, because he was scared to death by the mob when he was a child."

"The old Parisian white flag is still powerful, even the Sun King is afraid of it!"

"The power of silence? The man with a mustache says he is an expert!"

"So it seems that Mazarin is not a traitor?"

"Not as good as Richelieu, but still above the standard."

"In fact, during this period, in addition to Mazarin, Queen Mother Anne also made great contributions. She is the Queen Anne of Austria in "The Three Musketeers." "

"Alexandre Dumas wrote about his relationship with the Queen Mother in a very damaging way..."

The sky continues.

[In 1661, Prime Minister Mazarin died, and the 23-year-old Louis XIV finally got the chance to rule the country.]

[Before his death, Mazarin warned Louis XIV: Stop appointing prime ministers and rule yourself! ]

[The young king followed this advice and announced that he would no longer appoint a prime minister, but would personally take charge of all state affairs.]

[“I have summoned you all here to announce that from now on, all state affairs will be handled by me, the King. When I need it, you ministers can use your advice to serve me.”]

[In addition, Louis XIV quickly arrested the ambitious finance minister Fouquet on charges of corruption.]

[This quickly established Louis XIV's deterrent power. ]

[Unlike previous kings, Louis XIV believed that the king was God's representative on earth and possessed supreme power.]

【All subjects must obey his orders unconditionally. 】

[In order to prove his authority, he uttered the famous words that shocked Europe:]

【“I am the state.”】

【In fact, Louis XIV's ruling philosophy is very simple. 】

【That is, I am the state (l'etat, c'est moi).】

【According to Louis XIV’s theory. 】

[Core Article 1: The country belongs to the emperor, and all power, property, etc. in the country belong to the emperor. ]

[Although the subjects can own, use, and trade property, this power comes from the tacit consent of the emperor.]

[If necessary, the emperor could arbitrarily deprive his subjects of their power, even the prime minister and senior officials were no exception.]

【Core Article 2:】

[The emperor's will is the country's will, and the emperor's image is the country's image.]

【Core Article 3:】

【The fate of the emperor and his family is the fate of the country.】

【The fall of the emperor means the fall of the country.】

【If the emperor is rich, the country is rich. 】

【All subjects must assume the obligation to ensure the eternal prosperity of the emperor's family.】

Qin Dynasty.

When Ying Zheng saw this, his previously frowned brows completely relaxed.

He also showed a rare expression of admiration for Louis XIV, the foreign emperor.

"I am the state?"

"That's a good point, it's right!"

"It seems that the hardships Louis XIV experienced in his childhood were not in vain."

"After some training, he truly understood the way to be a king."

"His concept of 'I am the country' is direct and wise. I admire it very much!"

"As the saying goes, all land under heaven belongs to the king."

"All property and power in the country should belong to the emperor."

"The emperor's will is the will of the entire world!"

"The emperor represents the whole world!"

"If the emperor dies, if the emperor's family perishes, it means the demise of the entire world!"

“Which of these is not true?”

"As a foreign emperor, Louis XIV was able to have such awareness and to come up with such a correct ruling philosophy."

"It's really rare."

"It seems that he should be one of the most wise monarchs in French history."

"Maybe even more wise than Napoleon?"

Ying Zheng felt more and more that it was right for him to rule the country, so he issued an order:

"Come here! Create a "I am the pillar of the country"!"

"I will engrave the idea that I am the state on it, so that the generations of the Great Qin will observe it carefully and remember it at all times!"

"Let every generation of the Qin emperor know that I am the country!"

"And let all the people in the world know that the entire Chinese world belongs to the emperor!" (End of this chapter)
