Chapter 858 Responsibilities and Responsibilities of AlliesSpeaking of France, I have to mention the king of France, Louis XIII, of course, he was a very tragic man, his father Henry IV was one of the three great emperors in French history, and his son was Louis XIV, known as the Sun King.Of course, at the same time, he is also a representative of the faint king.Louis XIII was a king with little talent or talent, his only hobby was hunting, he was weak and lazy in life, and his personality was introverted, gloomy, and unpleasant.His life was full of tragedy, his father was assassinated when he was a few years old; Since he was a teenager, he has been opposed to his mother for political reasons all his life - his mother did not forgive her son until she died; a decades-long cold war with his wife; his only scrap brother has been rebelling against himself all his life; The two pure spiritual romances with the queen's maids, Orford and Lafayette, were forcibly terminated by Prime Minister Richelieu due to potential political factors; In his later years, his beloved male pet Sam Mars actually united various forces to plot to overthrow himself and Richelieu, and push his younger brother Prince Gaston as the king of France, and after the conspiracy was exposed, Mars was beheaded in public by Richelieu for treason.He is such a strange king, he seems mediocre and lacks assertiveness, but at the critical moment when the fate of the country is decided, he can always make the right choice, and unswervingly implement it, and I don't know if he is really a fool or a wise fool.In fact, all powerful politicians are powerful ministers, and the Duke of Richelieu is very capable, similar to Zhang Juzheng, but unfortunately, Zhang Juzheng's fate is too tragic.Whether it is France or the Spanish Empire, Quan Xu can't talk about liking, but considering the comprehensive interests, the Ming Empire should still stand on the side of the Spanish Empire, after all, the Spanish Empire can sell to the Ming in order to maintain the rule of the Habs family......
As for the emerging France, Britain, and the Netherlands, after the end of the Thirty Years' War, they will fight for the sake of profit, relatively speaking, Quan Xu would rather face the tiger of Spain than the jackal of the Netherlands and France.On the fifth day of June in the second year of Dingxin, Quan Xu returned to Beijing.Until Miao followed Quan Xu into the Forbidden City, she was still puzzled: "Are you really the emperor?"
”"What do you say?"
Quan Xu teased: "You have a good eye for people, and you fell in love with me at a glance!"
”Miao was scared: "I heard that there is a cold palace in the palace, will it freeze people?"
”Jeon Wook sighed.All dynasties and dynasties have had cold palaces, and Quanxu Daming also has them, but it is Concubine Li Kang who lives in the cold palace, who dares to mention the name of the cold palace now?
You must know that the cold palace where Concubine Li Kang lives is now one of the most lively places in the Forbidden City, not only the queen often comes to say hello, just like Chongzhen, Tianqi, and those old concubines including Emperor Wanli still live in the palace.These people are very smart, how good the Forbidden City is, they don't worry about food or clothing, drive them away, they just splash and roll, Quan Xu doesn't care too much, just raise them and add a little popularity to the Forbidden City.Quan Xu didn't care about the affairs of the harem, but handed it over to Zhu Weiyuan to deal with.On the sixth day of the sixth lunar month, Quan Xu had a day off, and on the evening of the next day, he summoned Duke Morales at the Qinzheng Palace."
The foreign minister knocks on His Majesty the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty, long live Your Majesty!"
Quan Xu doesn't know if Spain has a big gift of three bows and nine bows, but when he comes to Daming, even the Duke of Morales has to follow the customs of the locals and bow to Quan Xu with the etiquette of Daming.Of course, unless Jeon Wook is a big court meeting now, generally speaking, only ministers who have made mistakes will bow to him.This meeting, accompanied by Prime Minister Shen Mingze and Vice Minister Zhu Xun, participated in this simple meeting."
Duke Morales, welcome to Daming Beijing!"
Quan Xu held a private dinner for Morales and his translator Zeng Dezhao in the right side hall of the Qinzheng Hall to welcome Morales."
I have long heard that the Ming Empire is a paradise on earth, and after coming to the Ming Empire, I found that it really deserves its name......"
Zeng Dezhao was also very polite to Quan Xu, and the current strength of the Ming Empire was enough for Duke Morales to maintain respect for Quan Xu.After all, the current Ming Dynasty, whether military strength or economic strength, looking at the world, no one can stand out, for the Ming Dynasty, the world is actually two countries, Ming and foreign countries."
Is your king's health okay?"
Quan Xu still followed the tradition of Han culture to give polite condolences to Fili IV of the Spanish Empire."
It's not bad, but our King is very busy every day, working late every day, and only has four hours of sleep at most......"
Hearing this, Quan Xu also smiled bitterly, the position of emperor and king is not easy to do, who knows, Quan Xu has delegated power as much as possible, but every day's official duties make Quan Xu tireless.What's more, the Spanish Empire and the Holy Roman Empire faced the entire European countries, fighting bloodied, and Fili IV was busy every day.Therefore, most emperors have a very short lifespan, and it is not a harem of three thousand, which squeezes out the emperor's essence, and for the normal operation of a huge empire, no matter how long the time is, the body really can't stand it.If they are like Zhu Yuanzhang, they must bow down to everything, then they can really tire people to death.Even if an emperor like Chongzhen, even if he doesn't hang himself on the coal mountain, he actually won't live long, just thirty years old, let Chongzhen be full of gray hair, if Chongzhen is given a physical examination, his physical condition can be imagined."
You also have to remind your Majesty that the work is not finished, and that you can work more efficiently by resting, and that the Spanish Empire has so many officials that you can't work and let Your Majesty do it alone."
The emperor Quan Xu must be a faint monarch in the traditional sense, at least a "lazy government" can't escape."
Of course, I warned, but unfortunately it did not work......
"The situation of the Spanish Empire is no better than it was in the Chongzhen period, and not only the United Kingdom, France, Sweden, the Tsar, the United Kingdom of Denmark-Norway, the Kingdom of Bohemia, the United Republic of the Netherlands, the Electorate of Saxony, the Electorate of the Palatinate, Brandenburg-Prussia, and the Braunschweig-Lüneburg (the predecessor of Germany) were outside.As an aside, Germany in the present sense is due to the annexation of the German Empire by the Kingdom of Prussia in 1871 to establish the German Empire and complete the unification of Germany.There is no Germany yet.Regardless of whether Quan Xu's words meant sincerity or falsehood, Duke Morales looked at Quan Xu, more grateful.After all, the current Ming Dynasty, whether military strength or economic strength, looking at the world, no one can stand out, for the Ming Dynasty, the world is actually two countries, Ming and foreign countries."
