Chapter 2792: Forcing Louis XIV to abdicate

Louis XIV looked out the window of the royal palace and saw the rebels crossing the greenery in front of the Palace of Versailles. The strange flowers and plants collected from all countries of the world are now trampled upon by these brutish men.

Let the king's face turn red with anger, anyone who dared to do this in the past will be severely punished by him!

He laughed angrily, "I finally understand what Nino is thinking! Oh, these Frenchmen, I really want to hack them all to death!"

The hearts of the courtiers jumped when they heard it. The king mentioned Nino as a Roman tyrant. He was extravagant and moody. I will chop off his head!"

Now the French are rebelling, as in the past, disloyal, disobedient, and dragging their feet, making Louis XIV furious, as if the nightmare of his childhood was repeated --- when the Fronde rebelled in Paris, Louis XIV, who was only eight years old, had to fight with him My mother fled Paris and was homeless for several years, experiencing all the ups and downs of the world.

Now the rebels are trampling on flowers and trees, no, they are trampling on the glory of the royal family!

The rebels approached the palace, and the captain of the guard of the Palace of Versailles, Viscount de Benzema, led the guards to confront them and refused to let them enter the palace.

At this time, Baron Anthony Harrickson's tongue was not easy to use. Half of the guards were Frenchmen who were favored by the king, they were loyal to the king, and the other half were Swiss hired, they had professional ethics and steadfastness. blocked the path of the rebels.

However, as the number of rebels increased, the heavy ground sounded, and it was the horses dragging the 12-pound marching gun over.

The artillerymen leveled the field, removed the green plants that the king regarded as treasures, placed artillery on the flat ground, and prepared to bombard the Palace of Versailles!

Louis XIV had to come forward, and surrounded by guards, he appeared before the rebels.

As a result, all the rebels bowed to the king, and some took off their hats and said to him, "Your Majesty!"

The rebels have received strict orders not to be rude to the king. It is said that it is the request of the Chinese. The Chinese hope to transfer power peacefully and not get out of hand.

Seeing that everyone dared not be rude, Louis XIV felt at ease. He forced himself to be calm and said: "If you dare to oppose your king, then you have broken your promise to the Lord (loyalty to the king)!"

"If you dare to disrespect the king, you will be punished by breaking the door (excommunication)!" The French Cardinal Raymond Coke on the side threatened loudly.

France is a country with a strong Catholic atmosphere. Nine out of ten people in the country believe in religion. If they are excommunicated, it is tantamount to saying that they are not human.

The rebels were silent, but their muskets were still raised, aimed at the king!

The aura of the king and the cardinal is strong, but Count Loufoy, the mastermind of the rebellion, thought carefully, and most of the troops he sent were from Burgundy and Paris. The people in Burgundy are naturally rebellious. The historical origin of their rebellion People in Paris don't believe in authority, and say in a bully way that you can't control the world, and even the king can't subdue them.

The rebels didn't dare to do anything wrong. Baron Anthony Harrickson stepped forward to say something. Seeing that it was a baron, Louis XIV waved his hand contemptuously and said, "You are not qualified to talk to me, let your master come!"

Then the king turned and went back to the palace, not taking him seriously at all.

Lord Anthony Harrickson, turning green and pale, wanted to order the army to attack, but dared not.

He ordered soldiers to surround the Palace of Versailles and cut off traffic inside and outside.

"Don't be bored, dig fortifications!" He vented his anger on the soldiers, and he asked the soldiers to dig trenches outside the Palace of Versailles and pile up the soil, which made Louis XIV furious, but helpless.

…

The palace was besieged for a day. There was no water, food in the palace, but no bread or meat. The supply was tight, and the atmosphere became even more tense!

The king's teacher who had placed high hopes on the monarch and his ministers did not appear, and the exciting sound of guns and guns could not be heard. The king seemed to be forgotten in the world.

The next morning, the rebel brigade appeared, led by two people, one was the Prince of Condé and the other was the Earl of Loufoy. They brought a large number of nobles and generals to "glory" to His Majesty the King!

In the Hall of Mirrors at Versailles, the king received them.

Even at such an hour all the rebels saluted the king with civility.

Seeing these former "loyal ministers and good generals", Louis XIV said to Prince Condé with a sneer, "Your Highness, my robes are not dry yet!"

The king meant that Prince Condé’s words did not count. Before the nobles in southern France rebelled, Louis XIV suspected that Prince Condé was in harmony with them. Prince Condé knelt down in front of the king, kissed the king’s robe, and swore: “Unless My king is unable to control France, and for France, I will come out to clean up the mess! Otherwise, the Condé family will leave France and will not be able to return to the country for life!"

Prince Kong Dai said hesitantly: "Your Majesty, the country is at stake now, and you are no longer able to control the country. For the sake of France, I will come out to clean up the mess and avoid the country's misfortune!"

This matter was endless, and the king didn't say much. He turned to the other side, looked at Earl Loufoy with awe-inspiring eyes, and said, "Count, how long do you think you will stay in Purgatory after you die?"

As the king's former favorite, the Earl of Loufoy must have made many oaths of allegiance, but they all violated them, which made Louis XIV hate him.

If it weren't for his inability to manage the army, how could the French army have lost the battle!

If he hadn't sent false information to the Palace of Versailles, maybe Louis XIV would have run away long ago.

Count Loufoy had a thick skin and didn't make a sound. He just gestured for Leonor, who was good at speech, to speak.

So he talked about the current situation, a strong enemy is approaching, emphasizing that only the king abdicates, Prince Condé ascends the throne, and an agreement is reached with the invaders, then France will have peace and Paris will not be invaded, otherwise, the invaders will capture Paris , bloodbathed Paris, shamed and humiliated France!

Then he talked about the treatment of the abdicated king~www.wuxiaspot.com~that is, the former king was treated with courtesy by the state, with annuities, titles and fiefs, and his dignity was not violated.

Louis XIV just sneered, and the court minister, Marquis Koscielny, jumped out and said, "You guys are blasphemy..."

"Bang!" There was a crisp gunshot, and a curl of smoke rose, and Marquis Koscielny fell into a pool of blood!

Amidst the screams of the nobles, some people on Louis XIV's side lay on the ground, some ran away, making ugly appearances, and some people protected the king's wings and pointed their guns at the nobles on the opposite side.

In contrast, Prince Kong Dai and the nobles were much calmer. They held swords and were fully alert.

The two sides were at war, Prince Condé signaled to retreat, and said to Louis XIV: "After an hour, if Your Majesty does not agree to the request of the ministers, the ministers will have to attack!"

"Because, in the afternoon, the minister must be crowned king in Paris, and will negotiate with the Chinese in the evening, otherwise, the Chinese will attack in an all-out way tomorrow morning!"

After Prince Condé finished speaking, he led the crowd to retreat, leaving only Louis XIV slumped on the chair! 2084/10424222
