The English princess was so pleased with the hospitality of the Franks that she was so happy that she did not mention her return for more than a year.The high society of Mays was not satisfied with showing off their relationship with the British princess, and they were even more reluctant to let her go, and Cheldrick and the palace magnates also rushed to recognize the British princess as their goddaughter, and took her to visit the magnates of other countries from time to time.Just when the English princess was turning purple in Mace, the priest Pompidou, who had been laughed at by the princess two years earlier, made a special trip back to Ostrasia from England, and brought with him an English envoy, and handed to Cheldrick a letter written in Latin and Chinese by Li Lu, who claimed to interview the English princess to distinguish the authenticity.When Hilldrik ordered the Vuerwalds to take the English princess to the court to meet with the English envoy named Zhou Feng, the English princess suddenly disappeared.Zhou Feng smiled slightly when he heard this, and said in the Latin he learned from the priest: "Our British royal family has not married the princess to Axum at all, this British princess must be fake."
But I'd love to meet her, who is she?
Why pretend to be an English princess?
”For Zhou Feng's words, Cheldrick and the ministers were still skeptical.Only Arnulf was convinced of the fake princess, and secretly rejoiced in his heart: I lost face last time with this fake princess, and now I want to see how she and the palace minister Vuervard and his wife end!
Thinking of this, the Archbishop of Metz bowed down to Cheldrick and said, "Your Majesty, since Mr.
Zhou Feng has confirmed that this woman is a false princess, Your Majesty should immediately send someone to search for and arrest her, and severely punish her for the crime of bullying the king, otherwise it will be a loss of your dignity." ”In front of the British envoy Zhou Feng, Cheldrick had no choice but to issue a search warrant in front of the court, and all the ministers were sweating for this "British princess", worried that she would not be able to save her life.After three days of searching, the military police finally found the "English princess" in the estate of a socialite on the outskirts of Metz and immediately brought her back to the court.After repeated interrogation, the princess finally told her true feelings: her real name is Lisa, not Lisa, she was originally the daughter of a down-and-out nobleman in the Duchy of Burgundy, and she was originally considered to have no worries about food and clothing, but because her father committed suicide due to bankruptcy and suicide, her mother remarried, her family rapidly declined, her life was in trouble, and she had no food and clothing and no one to pity.When she came to Metz begging for a living, she saw with her own eyes the British fever that Prushac's book had ignited in Metz, and thought to herself that if she became an Englishman, she would definitely get everyone's attention, and she would be able to change her bad luck immediately.Anyway, there is not a single Englishman in the whole of Metz, who knows if she is a fake?
So she made up the lie that she was an English princess.At first, she didn't expect to be a British princess for a year, but now she knows that she has committed the felony of cheating the king and ministers, and says that she has no regrets even if she is in prison now.Cheldrick and Gong listened, stunned by the daring Frankish girl, angry and embarrassed.The other courtiers also looked at each other, Hildrick's face had turned from red to purple with anger, and Woolwald was already in a cold sweat, and he was even more worried that Zhou Feng's unrelenting investigation of the fake princess's guilt would kill this girl from the Frankish Kingdom.Only Pompidou and Arnulf had a disdainful smile on their faces, and Arnulf was even ready to bite his political opponent in the light of this.But to people's surprise, the British envoy named Zhou Feng not only did not blame the fake princess, but asked Cheldrick to forgive the fake princess, and took out a few gold coins from his arms and handed them to Aldrick, he sincerely thanked the fake princess for her contribution to the promotion of the British Empire and the improvement of Britain's popularity in the Franks in recent years, and invited her to visit the United Kingdom on behalf of the British Emperor Li Lu in public.The fake princess Lisa was so excited that she stepped forward to hug Zhou Feng's face and kissed it, which caused Cheldrick and the ministers to turn into laughter, but the British Zhou Feng blushed embarrassedly, and immediately had a good impression of this bold and pungent Frankish Kingdom girl in his heart.In fact, Zhou Feng did this in accordance with the will of his master Li Lu to "go to the Franks to see the opportunity to act", because in the three days when the Franks were searching for the fake princess, he heard that the fake princess had set off an unprecedented British fever in Metz, in Ostrasia and even the whole Frankish kingdom, and was very happy.In fact, this Pompidou is the secret spy of Jinyiwei, he is mainly active in Constantinople and Rome, if it weren't for something to come to Metz, he didn't know that there was such a bold fake princess, in order to expose the matter, he ran to break the leaves, and saw his real master Li Lu, Li Lu After learning about this, Li Lu sent Zhou Feng as an envoy to Metz to see if it was not for the establishment of contact with the Franks.The reason why Li Lu wanted to establish contact with the poor and dying Franks was because with the fall of Persia, the relationship between Constantinople and Broken Leaf became very delicate, in order to find something to do for Constans II, Li Lu didn't mind raising a poor Frankish ghost, and it was under such circumstances that Zhou Feng came to Metz."
Your Majesty, Your Majesty, you have also read the letter of state to you from your Majesty, I wonder what you think of our Majesty's suggestion?"
After Zhou Feng finished dealing with the matter of the fake princess, he asked Cyldrik with a smile."
This, I agree with your majesty's proposal for trade, but this matter about your Taoist mission......
"Hilldrick is not stupid, if the British businessmen can go directly to Metz, then he will not have to be exploited by those second-class dealers, but he does not dare to open this missionary right, because he does not count this right.Yes, he did not have this right, because the Franks had converted to the Church of Friends during the time of Clovis, and the Christians had supreme power in the Franks, and bishops like Arnulf could even ride on the head of Hildrik."
This can't be done, we Franks are all children of the Lord, how can we accept the bewitchment of your pagans?"
Arnulf immediately objected, and the guy was very stubborn.As soon as he finished speaking, Zhou Feng made a color to Pompidou very covertly, and the latter understood, and then he saw this Pompidou laughing, he took out an edict from his sleeve, and then said to Arnulf, "Arnulf, I am here to tell you as a cardinal, cooperating with the British is the decision of Pope Vitalian and our thirteen cardinals, you can't object..."
But in the face of such a high-level member of the Jiyou Sect, he really didn't dare to do anything.Everyone present except Zhou Feng would never have thought that this big man who had mixed with the cardinal in the Jiyou Sect turned out to be Li Lu's secret spy who broke into the Jiyou Sect, and he was also the key figure in Li Lu's control of the Jiyou Sect.Because Arnulf's status could not withstand Pompidou, and Pompidou held the edict of Pope Vitalian in his hand, so he quickly lost power, after eliminating the stubborn forces led by him, Alderick almost accepted the conditions put forward by Li Lu in the national letter, in addition to allowing the British to do business freely, allowing the Taoist to come to preach, the important thing is that the Frankish kingdom will promote Chinese and Chinese in the future....... if these conditions are placed in later generations, then no one dares to sign, Because the conditions proposed by Li Lu are simply an unequal treaty that is extremely domineering.However, after ruling out Arnulf's interference, Alderick signed the treaty known as the "Treaty of Metz" without blinking, and although he was only one of the Frankish kings, he turned the Frankish kingdom into a vassal state of Lelu as the co-lord of the Franks.As for why Alderrick did this, the reason is very simple, he wants to be the co-leader of the Ranks, but the power is not enough, only Li Lu can help him, as for the implementation of Chinese and Chinese, it is not a problem for Alderick, Chinese and Chinese because of Li Lu's hard tossing, now have long replaced the position of Latin and Greek, and have become the most important language and script in the western part of Eurasia.After Zhou Feng's mission to Mace was a complete success, he took Alderick to send a mission, and the fake princess named Lisa returned to Broken Leaf together, and later Li Lu also met the Frankish girl named Lisa, and recognized the fake princess as a daughter, and now the fake princess became a real princess, and at the same time Li Lu also allowed her to marry Zhou Feng.
