Chapter 695: 18. The end of the expedition (19)

Regardless of ability, ability and background, a person's seniority sometimes doesn't matter.
Many nobles scoff at this kind of argument. From the historical perspective so far, their views are not unreasonable. After all, the civilian children who are struggling to get ahead are always extremely concerned about the sight of their surroundings, and often appear to have outstanding capabilities but insufficient background and skill. Narrow radicalism \"Wizards\", \"Ghosts\". Being able to overcome this obstacle is truly the only one that can be called \"Genius\". But regard this as absolute truth, and stay on top, It is too stupid.
Especially when he is a special person who often creates \"exceptions\" like Li Lin, he blindly denied it. As a result, while scorning this hailer, Li Lin was playing around with applause. This is not stupid. It should be called what?
Typical drawbacks of hereditary system.
Richelieu, who also took shelter in the hereditary system, secretly thought about it, he was not denying hereditary system, but compared with the growth rate of Li Lin and the consortium, the nobles' self-confidence mentality seemed too ridiculous. Once thinking, how to establish a relationship that excludes parents, but instead chooses a noble title successor based on performance and performance. But so far, except for the nearly harsh performance system of the consortium, he has not found A system that can meet his requirements, not to mention talents who can compete with Li Lin.
Judging from the trend so far, Li Lin and the consortium have become very influential in this country. To the extent that all political forces have to take any action, they have to care about the consortium's response. But what Li Lin did in public The speech has always been quite low-key. At least on the surface, the company did not take the initiative to cause any incidents. It accepts all kinds of events without emotion and then makes an impeccable response.
Quite a subtle performance, but Richelieu is difficult to think that the smart-minded Li Lin does not have any ambitions outside the monopoly economy. As a successful businessman, caring about politics and involving it is an inevitable phenomenon. Especially knowing politicians After meeting the needs of the nobles, he is always happy to help people who are willing to join hands with the consortium.
Another leader of the Arrow Cross Party region left the leader of the consortium with an awakening and encouraging expression, replacing the position of political hailer... a bishop?
In this day and age, the time spent by the priests in politics is far longer than the time spent in praying and guiding the lost lamb. Bishop Richelieu himself is an extra large role model. It stands to reason. He should not be surprised by this.
But looking at Bishop Charles Morris de Talleyrand in a long black robe. The dean of the Rudes University Theological Seminary and the famous speculator came to Li Lin with a smiling smile. However, the Prime Minister still felt so unhappy.
This negative feeling is not directed at the thing itself, but is clearly directed at the dean of the seminary. In Rudes’ social world, no one’s reputation can be worse than Talleyrand. But I am afraid that no one can live better than this priest. It's more moisturizing.
It is really a bit wrong to say that this guizhou is followed by the wall head grass. He is an out-and-out wind chick.
This person's political ability is not bad. But his social ability, his judgment on the situation and his political sense of smell are amazingly amazing, and his character is also surprisingly low. From a salary point of view, he is more like a shallow businessman. Not priests and nobles.
In general, the best place for such people is the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.Most people also believe that over time, Talleyrand can become an excellent diplomat, just like the late Metternich.
The two do have a lot in common. Metternich was also a handsome when he was young, and was quite similar to Talleyrand in social and political sense of smell. Richelieu did not believe that Talleyrand could become Another Metternich, the Cardinal knew very well that the dead friends spent their heads and heads outside, and like to use their duties to like to do things like "The red flag at home does not fall, the colored flags flutter outside", and by the way, make it small. But Mette Nirvana is essentially a child of a noble family who is loyal and patriotic. He knows that there is a bottom line to do things. Talleyrand does not have such a bottom line, and even if it does, his bottom line is his personal interest. The guy whose code is in his eyes is responsible for foreign affairs, and he is just kidding himself.
Having said that, it is not easy to discuss the era of peace in which morality can be easily discussed. Characters like Talleyrand are still quite suitable for dealing with some diplomatic problems that are not on the table. The so-called wicked people have their own wicked grinds, rogues are more The rogue is broken, and in the chaos of the world, the people who are robbing dogs and robbers do not lack the opportunity to show their fists.When the time comes, this kind of person is also a force that cannot be underestimated.
So, how will Li Lin use this speculator? While thinking about this problem, Dean Talleyrand has walked away from Li Lin, with a little pride and satisfaction, the dean of the seminary disappeared into the crowd.
It seems that there is one more person to follow.
The bishop's calm but full of rigidity, without any ups and downs in his face, continued to face the Secretary of the Army who had begun to digress on the podium.
After looking at the pretending little people on the podium, Archbishop Li felt a trace of sadness.
############
The news of the frontline victory spread to Rudes in a short time. Optimism quickly spread in the city. People greeted each other happily and heatedly discussed when the war would end. What goods should be imported and taken from the north? The orc slave girl is so charming, and then smiles attentively. Children and women away from men enjoy the leisure time on the weekend
It should have been this way.
At the moment, Rudes was enveloped by an unusually solemn atmosphere, and the crowd filled the street strictly, but the crowd on the street was not annoyed by the crowd, they were stubborn. [,! ] The unanimous wills continue to gather together and rush towards the Tuileries Palace.
The people who made up this flow came from all parts of the country except Charlieman, and under the leadership of St. Eastman's Crown Archbishop Minzenti. Joseph, nearly 80,000 residents of Charlemagne's crown led the diaspora, including resident Rudes Nobles, factory workers, women, children and the elderly, wearing the best clothes. Holding the holy statue of the mother, the holy cross flag and the portrait of Charles IV, chanting hymns in the mouth softly. Occasionally there is a passerby who wanders away Seeing this team from afar, he quickly turned around and left.
They are here to make a peaceful petition. Request \"Father\" Charles IV to end the tyranny and illegal occupation of Crown Prince by Crown Prince, dismantle the wall that separated them from their family on the border, and restore the Crown Leader in the ancient covenant Promise of.
The crown princes who stayed in Rudes were sweating anxiously, and they could not understand how the news could leak out so quickly, and even less understood, how could so many people gather in such a short time.
In fact, what they should think of is to build a "internal boundary line" that stretches for thousands of kilometers in a few days. And let no one cross the line to spread the news of the crown crown regardless of the plan. How to be meticulous. It is always unrealistic to rush to achieve the goal. Especially when the guardian has enough patience and wisdom, it is not difficult to break through this unfinished network.
The pair of mothers and sons of the Laik family are such lucky ones.
After careful planning and day and night work by the village heads and villagers, they actually dug a tunnel through the "wall" from the bullpen. Due to the short time, the tunnel is very narrow. Only women and children can pass quickly. The exit also Within the range of the outpost of the outpost. Even if you successfully cross the border, how to quickly leave the danger zone is a problem. But in the end, relying on the villagers to attract the attention of the border guards, the mother and child successfully crossed the blockade. Disguised as a busker along the way. Begging and making money to support Rudes, knocked on the door of Bishop Minzanti who was convalesced in Rudes by illness, and informed the cardinal about everything that happened to the crown.
Bishop Minzanti is a very traditional priest with a pious belief, lack of political skills, and conservative thinking. After contacting privately with the socialists of the consortium, he called it a "stupid old bastard." ". After receiving crying from Mrs. Raik, the orthodox bishop's first thought was to appeal to \"His Father\" His Majesty Charles IV.
However, although Bishop Minzanti wears a red hat and a red coat like Richelieu, his influence and power are far from that of the Archbishop of Lebanon. Is it possible for a territorial archbishop to impress the king and promote it in the shortest possible time?" The motherland\" changed the course of the prince’s tyranny, and it is doubtful. Bishop Mincenti also knew this, so he contacted the crown lord aristocrats who lived in Rudes, and finally decided to mobilize the crown lord’s expatriate and peacefully petition. Express their demands.
The reason for adopting this method is that, firstly, enough people will be used to create pressure, so that the Royal Government will face up to what happens to the Crown Crown; secondly, as long as things can be resolved smoothly, the nobles who initiated the petition, the priest can get \"please for the people \"The praise; the image of His Majesty the King\"Listening to the suffering of the people\" will be strengthened; the grievances of the common people can also be alleviated; in the end everyone has the steps, and they can all get a little benefit, so as not to let things go to nothing Recoverable point.
Some people also questioned this, pointing out that this way may cause the impression that "the king is forced to make concessions", and it will have an inestimable impact on the maintenance of the Charlemagne royal family. Take tough measures to deal with it. But under the passion of the crowd, the minority who cannot find a more feasible way is always automatically ignored. Finally, after some cascading, crown leaders and leaders from all over the country walked together to Rudes On the street, proceed towards the Tuileries Palace where His Majesty the King works.
\"mom.\"
Raik Aida bowed his head in a sound, and 10-year-old Raik Andras looked up at his mother and asked crisply:
\"Can we see His Majesty the King?\"
This is the biggest motivation for them to continue to endure hunger, cold, discrimination, exhaustion, and stick to Rudes all the way, but when they witnessed the prosperity of Rudes, they saw the huge buildings boasting power and wealth. The world's rural children are still instinctively timid.
The landlord’s house does not have such a big house, but for the people in the village, he is already a big man who cannot be violated. With so many big houses, and the whole country must listen to his majesty, it must be more A big man, right? Will big men listen to what the poor ghosts say?
In his little head, superficial analogies and uneasy thoughts clumped together, preventing little Andras from calming down.
\"Nothing will happen.\"
Ada caressed her son, and this action reassured little Andras. The thin body was no longer trembling.
\"Your Majesty is a kind father willing to listen to the voice of the poor, he will certainly accept our request.\"
There was no hesitation in tone, but the same question flashed in my heart. But for this country woman, she has no retreat.
It's not just her, the more than 80,000 people gathered here, and the entire crown collar has pinned the last hope of a peaceful settlement on His Majesty the King.
They placed great hopes, but they did not know that in order to celebrate the crown prince's victory on the front line, the royal family and the heavy ministers all gathered in the Versailles palace on the outskirts of the city. The petitioners faced only an empty palace, and
The neat military boots stomped on the ground, with a slight pretentious password, and the sound of the cannon wheel running over the ground was passed against the ground, and the royal guard stationed at the Tuileries Palace was blocked between the crowd and the palace. .[,! The unarmed petitioners. The heavily armed soldiers have an undisguised horror on their faces.
\"Stop! Stop!\"
The commander-in-chief of the guard waved his pistol, shouting with hoarseness, but the large crowd did not stop, and the brigadier clenched his teeth and ordered loudly.
\"Raise the gun!!!\"
This is the moment of history.
Li Linzhengrong, who stood on the podium, said that he did not change his tone and expression at all. At the same time, he glanced at Richelieu's face a little.
At this moment the celebration is entering. Richelieu is both a political ally and opponent of the consortium and a substantial leader of Charlemagne. So he will give the Cardinal such treatment when he officially begins his speech.
Of course, this move was not out of respect for Richelieu; it was simply because he didn’t even want to give details to anyone.
Be careful guy.
The Cardinal whispered secretly, and the sight on the podium that seemed to pierce people's eyes had shifted to the far side.
After looking around the crowd, Li Lin said:
\"This is a long-cherished wish... No, even beyond this important moment in history, all of you present are lucky people who have witnessed the torrent of history.\"
Ping Ping! !
The guard has fired warning shots to the sky twice in a row, ordering the crowds who rushed to the front of the palace to retreat, but the people in front of the parade could not stop because of the push of the crowd behind them. Under the overwhelming pressure, the brigadier's hand holding the gun trembles.
\"No, go on like this... these guys!\"
With staring red eyes, the pistol that was originally lifted into the sky dropped unconsciously.
Snapped!
The cannon sprayed out colored ribbons and paper, the band played a march, the lights focused on a 10-year-old child, and the little representatives of the family members of the frontline officers followed the rhythm of the drums and took the trained solemn steps to the stage to be impeccable. The etiquette received a medal from His Majesty the King. Applause and cheers immediately surrounded the little knight. He was infected by the warm atmosphere and always smiled with the gloom of the King.
On the guest table, a pale, sweaty man was whispering in Richelieu's ear. The cardinal always squinted his eyes widened. He got up and shouted, but hundreds of people celebrated The hustle and bustle covered up all his cry.
The Tuileries are full of dead bodies in front of the palace, and the soldiers who were gripped by fear in the heart were mechanically loaded and fired. Most of the bullets were not carefully aimed, and there were about hundreds of bodies that fell under the gun.More The people screamed, shoved and tried to escape from the muzzle, and someone continued to fall to the ground, they no longer had a chance to get up, died of squeezing, and the number of trampled was twice as many as those killed by the gun. Crying, cursing, desperate The shouts mixed together, shaking Ludes' sky.
Mrs. Raikk also fell to the ground, her eyes were open, her face had the incredible expression of being shot in the chest. Little Andras was shaking the body of the dead mother, looking around, there were only dead bodies in front of her, running away Crowds, and Charlieman soldiers shooting wildly. An uncontrollable feeling rushed into the throat, and tearful eyes reflected the intense emotion of the injured beast.
\"Hope people all over the world can get along peacefully\"
Perceiving two landscapes at the same time, looking at the humans who are finally starting to synchronize, Li Lin raised the wine glass and wished softly.
There is nothing malicious in his words, nothing at all.
