"The situation in Paris has been out of control these days, and there are also people in other towns that support Paris and oppose the king and the archbishop. You must be careful on the way."

Prince Condai personally led a team of French knights to escort the envoys of Chu Lingyun and others to the outskirts of Paris.

The city of Paris is indeed paralyzed, and tens of thousands of people feel sympathy for the arrested judges. They generally believe that the judge is not the mastermind behind the murder of the envoy, but the king and the archbishop intend to use this incident to attack the robe nobles who oppose the royal power, so they are given as scapegoats to the Chinese. Because the conflict between the monarch and the robe nobles occurred before the attack of the envoy.

The civilians used barricades to block the passages of Paris, intending to block the king and the archbishop in the Louvre in Paris.

These civilians are not soft persimmons. In fact, many of them were recruited to fight in the Thirty Years War. Moreover, when Paris was attacked by the Holy Allied Forces, they spontaneously mobilized to support the front several times in a row, which can be said to be very fierce. During the period of Louis XIV, the Kingdom of France was definitely the overlord of the continent, and these civilians were not vague at all when they rebelled against their kings.

Chu Lingyun and his convoy advanced hard on the street. The French cavalry had to open the road in front and demolish the barricades that blocked the passage so that the T-type vehicles could pass through the street.

Some civilians threw small stones at the convoy and injured the French cavalry, which made the French cavalry scream in pain and fired randomly with muskets.

"No one is allowed to use muskets!" Prince Kong Dai was afraid that something would happen to the envoys after the exchange of fire would cause trouble in the envoys, so he let his cavalry remain restrained.

"It seems that we are not very popular here..." Chu Lingyun's T-car was also hit by a stone and made a sound, and he couldn't help but feel helpless.

It is normal for them to be unpopular here by civilians, because the previous capture of Paris greatly damaged the dignity of the Paris rebel army.

This matter is still a problem left by his father.

Prince Rupert saw the rebellion in Paris and thought of his past when he worked with Charles I: "Paris at this time is very similar to the rebellion in London at that time. However, the people in Paris seem to be more impulsive."

King Charles I of England did not handle financial issues well with the emerging aristocrats, squires and merchants, which led to the city of London opposition to Charles I. Civil war broke out in England, and Charles I also lost his life.

France now has similar conflicts due to tight financial difficulties. Will there be a civil war breaking out in France? Or will one side make a compromise under pressure?

At about the same time, the monarchy was shaken, and it seemed that the emerging classes began to change the forms of various kingdoms to a greater or lesser extent, depending on how they would deal with it...

No matter how France will deal with such a thing, what will happen to this kingdom, which will not have any major impact on China for the time being.

Prince Kong Dai finally made a clear way to send Chu Lingyun and the others away.

The next stop of the envoy led by Chu Lingyun is to go to Amsterdam, the Netherlands.

Before Chinese businessmen entered London City in a large number of places, Amsterdam was the financial center of the continent, with stock exchanges and banks recognized by various countries.

However, now the City of London has begun to replace Amsterdam as a new financial center.

Even if Chu Lingyun and the others left, the attack on the envoy had not come to an end, and the Kingdom of France still needed an explanation, so three robed nobles who served as judges were executed.

A month after the envoy left Paris, a large-scale conflict broke out in the city of Paris and the Kingdom of France was a major earthquake.

Archbishop Mazaran in the Cardinal was the target of public anger.

Soon aristocrats in robes came out to accuse Mazaran of having enough pockets, which led to the annual funding of the French Navy dropped to 500,000 livres. Ten years ago, the French fleet's funding was still 3 million livres a year. The current French fleet has almost not many warships to go to sea.

Some people even believe that Mazaran's assets are as high as 50 million livres, which exceeds the tax amount of the Kingdom of France for half a year.

Such accusations made the Cardinal's residence surrounded by civilians, and Mazaran had to flee to the palace to seek asylum from the king, and was criticized along with the newly crowned king Louis XIV.

Perhaps knowing that the anger of all parties was concentrated on him, Mazaran had to say goodbye to Louis XIV: "His Majesty, it seems that I have to be exiled, but now the situation is turbulent, you must take power in person and no longer appoint the prime minister to protect the royal family."

In silence, Louis XIV removed the post of Cardinal Mazaran as well as all other positions with real power.

Both Richelieu and Mazaran were in power for France at one time, but Mazaran had to give up under pressure and left the final decency.

There is a stone house in Paris, where Prince Conde sat, and there is also a smart middle-aged man in the house.

This middle-aged man is called Colbert. When he was young, he had a brief intersection with the Western companies of Chinese merchants, but perhaps not many Chinese merchants could still remember this person.

His job now is to help Cardinal Mazaran handle private finance.

"Thanks to your help, we have some evidence that Mazaran has gained his personal pockets. Otherwise, it would be difficult to force the powerful Archbishop of the Cardinal in the Rome of Paris just by relying on the anger of the nobles and citizens of Paris. He could completely suppress or make a comeback after temporarily abdicating," said Prince Conde.

"You have to do this, but I have betrayed my benefactor..." Colber shook his head.

"He was originally doing it too much. If he could not get the assets that he had filled his personal pockets, where would we France have the money to develop? If the position of the Archbishop is still in his hands, he will be able to ascend to heaven alone and control various important positions. How can we France resist the pressure from the East?" Prince Conde said indifferently.

If Chu Lingyun, Chu Zixin, Prince Rupert and others were present, they would definitely be extremely surprised.

Who could have thought that the one who really manipulated everything behind the scenes was Prince Kong Dai and Mazaran's personal financial assistant?

There was a knock on the door outside the stone house, and Prince Kongde and Coleber stood up almost at the same time and went to open the door.

An unexpected person appeared at the door.

Prince Conde and Colber saw the visitor and said respectfully: "His Majesty the King."

Louis XIV walked in and said to Prince Conde, "If he refused to leave, I don't know how to deal with him. Go and confiscate his property and leave him a little for the sake of the past. In addition, calm the anger of the nobles and civilians as soon as possible and restore order."

He said to Colbert, "Nicolas Fukai, the current chief financial officer, embezzled, financial speculation, and made a fortune. Last time, he invited me to visit the 250 fountains in his home. He was really looking for death. This person is also the same as Mazaran. He has nothing to fear when he overthrew Mazaran. You will take people to arrest him, seize all his property, and imprison him for life. You are the next chief financial officer. According to your proposal, reduce the capita tax and increase the surcharge tax. We must make our France rich. Only when we are rich can we develop better. We must find a way to catch up with the pace of the East!"

Louis XIV visited the East seven years ago, saw the strength of the East, and knew that the gap between the two sides was very big. Only when France changed could it be possible to keep up.

At the same time, Prince Conde was also on the East with Louis XIV. The two of them also made Louis XIV tend to join forces with Prince Conde and design to overthrow the Archbishop of the Red Clothing, the actual ruler of the French Kingdom.

Although both Richelieu and Mazaran were intended to promote France to gain hegemony, the existence of the Cardinal Archbishop became an obstacle to France's change over time.

"We France will definitely catch up with you, I am still young." After Louis XIV, who was once hindered, was overthrown, was as if he had seen hope for the prosperity of the kingdom.

Prince Condai was not very excited. He just helped the king and the archbishop who fought for power. As for wanting to break the monopoly in the East, Louis XIV is good at young people, but among the envoys who came to visit this time, Chu Yun's two sons were just about the same age as Louis XIV.

It is very likely that the Kingdom of France will always be suppressed by China and even England.

Prince Condé doesn't want to hit Louis XIV's self-confidence now.

"After that being said, is it you who instructed people to attack the envoys and even intends to overthrow the king?" Louis XIV thought of a very serious problem.

The plan to overthrow Mazaran was made by Louis XIV and other royal nobles, but he did not dare to do anything like attacking the envoys.

He left a psychological shadow on the East.

"It was not what I did... the rebellion in Paris was not planned at all, I just followed the trend." Prince Conde replied.

"Who would that be?" Louis XIV frowned slightly.

Prince Condai was silent for a while and said slowly: "Maybe it was the nobles in robes, or it could be others. Recently, a group of new nobles appeared in Paris. They traveled to the East for one or two years or three or four years and came into contact with the culture of the East. They were very dissatisfied with the current situation of our French kingdom and promoted the culture and technology of the East. They privately claimed to be the "Enlighteners". Some were close to the East and highly praised everything in the East. Some were dissatisfied because of the capture of Paris. They resented the East when they praised the East. It is hard to say that they could not do such an extreme thing. If they provoked war because of the assassination of the envoys, they would have the opportunity to re-establish order."
