    The Lantern Festival lasts for ten days.

    Charlie still remembers the splendor of the whole city, as if he was in heaven. This is a grand event that cannot be seen in Paris.

    After the Lantern Festival holiday ended, the Chinese emperor began to work, and the French envoys were also summoned.

    Charlie followed the earl into the imperial city, and his musket was also confiscated when he entered the palace.

    They walked along the palace wall and passed through winding or wide stone roads.  It was like walking in a maze for twenty minutes, and there seemed to be no sign of reaching the end point at all.

    How spacious is the palace of the Chinese emperor?

    Charlie's full name is Charlie de Buzz Castelmer.  His father was a nobleman, his mother was also a nobleman, and her mother's title was Countess d'Artagnan.

    This product is the prototype of the male protagonist!

    The real Charlie, of course, cannot be the jealous d'Artagnan.  This guy can make a fortune, and he is the successor of Richelieu, Mazarin.  After the disbandment of the Musketeers, he directly became Mazarin's retainer, and was immediately recommended to the Queen Mother as the captain of the guard.

    It's a pity that he is a foreign aristocrat, and he cannot be the captain of the palace guard according to the rules, so he spent a lot of money to buy another official position.

    At this time in France, most official positions can be inherited, gifted, and resold.

    Charlie later served as the captain of the musketeers, which was also bought with money.  When they wanted to be promoted, they sold their original position and raised some money to buy a higher position.

    Walking in front of Charlie was the leader of the French envoy: Henri-Louis de Bourbon, a minor nobleman with swords from a branch of the Bourbon family.

    There are two types of French nobility today, one is the nobility in robes and the other is the nobility with swords.

    The robed aristocracy was born with the bourgeoisie, consisting of factory owners, farmers, wealthy farmers, and traditional aristocrats.  They contract local taxation, lend money to the state, or spend money to buy officials, mainly as judges and other positions.  Judges can also be hereditary, or sold out.

    Saber nobles are traditional nobles.

    Under Richelieu's reforms, there was only one official position in France that could not be hereditary and bought and sold, that is: Minister of Envoy!

    Henry's mind was almost dizzy, and he finally saw the three halls from a distance.

    The wide square and tall palaces give people a strong sense of visual impact, and the majesty of the imperial power makes Henry have the urge to kneel down.

    In Europe, there are also kneeling salutes.

    Especially in France, etiquette is particularly strict and repetitive.  For example, if a local nobleman is lucky enough to attend the banquet at the Palace of Versailles, he is only eligible to sit on a canvas folding stool, and only to sit on a wooden chair at the local nobleman's dinner party.

    Both Henry and Charlie are not doing well at this time, otherwise they would not have traveled thousands of miles to China.

    Too far away, easy to die!

    Every time a certain distance is passed, those responsible for leading the way for the envoys will be handed over and changed. Only the civil servants of the Ministry of Rites have not changed.

    In the end, the emperor's maidservants led them to Jinshen Hall.

    "French envoy Henri-Louis de Bourbon, pays homage to His Majesty the Emperor of China, and on behalf of the King of France, extends his most respectful greetings to His Majesty." Henry put his arms on his chest and bowed to the Emperor of China.

    Charlie, the captain of the guard, also bowed and saluted.

    After getting the translation, Zhao Han smiled and nodded: "Give me a seat."

    Zhao Han had read it, it was a world famous book, but he really didn't know that the hero was right in front of him.

    Henry began to speak on the scene: "Great Majesty, when we arrived in Malacca, we heard that China had defeated Spain. This is really good news. France and Spain are also enemies. China and France have a common enemy. I think it can be a firm  ally."

    Zhao Han said: "I prefer to use the definition of friends. China and the Netherlands are friends, France and the Netherlands are also friends, and friends of friends are friends."

    "Your Majesty is really wise." Henry flattered.

    After withdrawing for a long time, Henry finally explained his intentions: "Your Majesty, France hopes to do business with China and set up a French trading post in Guangzhou. Your Majesty, please bestow a piece of land in Guangzhou."

    Zhao Han said: "France can set up trading posts, but they can't get land grants. A deserted seaside beach in Guangzhou can be leased to France. You can pay to hire local people to build a French trading post."

    Henry asked: "French merchant ships, can you buy goods in Guangzhou at will?"

    "Of course." Zhao Han affirmed.

    Henry stood up excitedly: "Your Majesty, benevolent and generous, may the Lord bless you!"

    The main colonial direction of France is North America and Africanbsp;The man blushed immediately, and everyone burst into laughter.

    Charlie whispered: "This kind of magic box can be bought and dedicated to the king."

    Henry's eyes lit up: "Yes, the king must be happy!"

    The two felt that this trip to China was the beginning of a change in their destiny.  There are many novelties, which are not found in Europe. Not only can they be presented to the king for appreciation, but they can also be bought back and resold to make a lot of money.

    Henry is poor, Charlie is rich, his parents are local nobles, and he will be able to inherit two fiefdoms in the future.

    In the novel, d'Artagnan, who is jealous and hateful, is especially good at exploiting in reality.  He later trained his two cousins, one as a French marshal and the other as a musketeer captain.  Two sons, one became the captain of the infantry guards and the other the captain of the cavalry guards.  It is equivalent to rounding up the French royal guard and army!

    The two thought of the idea of ??pleasing the king, so they searched for new gadgets all over the city. Presumably, the Chinese style in France will blow even more violently.
