    Zhen Juan 1 Sleepy Shoal 756 If another twenty years pass, the French royal family may directly use Chinese sedan chairs to welcome Chinese envoys.

    At that time, the royal families of various European countries were all competing for the luxurious decoration of the carriage.

    However, Louis XIV took a unique approach and produced a sedan chair with carved gold and silver ornaments and wrapped in silk, which instantly compared a bunch of carriages.  Even the bearers who carried the sedan chairs were all dressed in Chinese costumes, which was so cool every time they went out of the palace.

    "Charlie, you have been to China, and you are with the distinguished guests." Mazarin ordered.

    "Yes! Your Excellency Prime Minister!"

    DArtagnan accepted the order happily, and led the guards forward, escorting them with the Chinese guards, which immediately aroused the resentment of the other French guards.

    Mazarin is a traitor that everyone shouts and beats, and d'Artagnan is Mazarin's running dog.

    When Mazarin resigned for the second time, D'Artagnan also lost his position.  Instead of leaving Mazarin, he also became Mazarin's retainer.

    Now that Mazarin is now prime minister again, he defies all opinions and appoints d'Artagnan as the captain of the bird house guard.

    Of course, friendship belongs to friendship, and the money to buy an official is still paid.

    Mazarin was very generous and offered to give d'Artagnan a discount.  Later, d'Artagnan sold the position of captain of the guards for a total of 80,000 livres. Because of the discount, he made a lot of money, so he pooled the money to buy the position of captain of the infantry company of the guards.

    "Da da da da!"

    More than a dozen carriages moved forward slowly, the guards opened the way in front, and the Chinese guards and d'Artagnan led the troops to protect the two sides.

    The citizens of Paris stood on the street to watch the excitement, but they couldn't see the Chinese nobles in the carriage.  They could only cast their eyes on the Chinese guards, and the peculiar guard helmets became the focus of attention.

    Mazarin and Zhang Ruifeng were in the same carriage, and an interpreter was sitting next to him: "Respect Your Excellency, the Queen Mother and Your Majesty the King, I will receive you all at the Louvre. There will be a grand banquet here, and hundreds of nobles have been waiting for a long time. If you  If you like hunting, you can go to Versailles in the suburbs, where there is the hunting palace of the former king."

    The Palace of Versailles has not yet been officially built at this time. There is only a wooden house in the forest, which is specially used for the French royal family to rest when hunting.

    "Everything is due." Zhang Ruifeng smiled.

    The Louvre is only a few hundred meters away from the Seine River, and it arrived in a blink of an eye after getting off the boat.

    Queen Mother Anne stood at the front, holding 15-year-old Louis XIV.  Hundreds of nobles gathered together and accompanied the royal family to wait for the arrival of the Chinese mission.

    The two failed rebellions of the Duke of Cond¨¦ led to the complete loss of power of the local power faction in France.  The lords of the provinces have all moved to Paris to settle down, building a large number of villas in the suburbs, and the taxation of the territory is exclusively for them to squander in the capital.  This is similar to the Japanese shogunate, which also allows the lord to settle in the capital, preventing rebellion and strengthening centralization at the same time.

    The two sides introduced the main characters to each other, and Louis XIV kept looking at the Chinese envoy.

    The young king felt cheated.  The styles of clothes worn by Chinese people are different from those made by French tailors. He decided to ask the tailors to make several sets again.

    The grand dinner is scheduled to be held on the second day. The Chinese guests are exhausted from the journey and have to rest in the Louvre for a day.

    When the nobles dispersed, the court minister arranged for the Chinese envoy to stay.  After a short rest, Queen Anne took her son and ran to find Lu Tianxiang, Zhang Ruifeng and others, and invited Chinese guests to visit the palace collection.

    Queen Mother Anne pointed to a box and said, "I asked top French craftsmen to make this. Does China have such technology?"

    "Although it is exquisite, it is rarely seen in China." Lu Tianxiang replied with a smile.

    It is a gold filigree inlaid treasure chest, with gold and silver silk to outline the pattern, and then inlaid with jewels and other ornaments.  It is golden, rich and luxurious, but also very vulgar, densely covered with gold threads, and has the same aesthetics as Qianlong.

    Hearing that it is rare in China, Queen Anne's vanity was satisfied, and she said to Lu Tianxiang: "If Her Royal Highness likes it, when I return to China, I can give you a gold and silver silk product as a gift."

    "Thank you very much." Lu Tianxiang said along the lines.

    After visiting the room, Queen Anne pointed to a certain wall: "This is a jade mosaic that originated in Italy, and is now popular all over Europe. I have specially set up a mosaic studio. Although it is not perfect, as long as I continue to  In a few years, it will definitely surpass that of Italy."

    "It's really beautiful."

    It was hard for Chinese envoys to complain, and those jade stones didn't know what material they were made of.  The flowers are colorful and colorful, and after being made into mosaics, they are put together into complex patterns on the wall.

    What's so good about this thing?  Still popular all overnbsp; After dinner, Queen Anne called the prime minister and asked, "The emperor of China presented a work of art of extraordinary value. What kind of gift should we give in return?"

    Mazarin replied: "You can't give gold back directly, that would be too vulgar. Craftsmen must be summoned to create unique works of art. Only such a gift can show the Frenchness. It's betterhow about choosing two of the most vigorous and vigorous BMWs,  Rebuild the most magnificent carriage. The decorations of the carriage must have a Chinese style, and must be decorated with gold and inlaid with the rarest and most beautiful gemstones."

    "This is a good idea, and I will leave it to you to handle it." Queen Anne said that she had great trust in the Prime Minister.

    The common people think that Mazarin is a traitor, but in the eyes of the Queen Mother, Mazarin is a loyal minister.  It can not only help her earn money, but also cut off her political enemies and settle those local nobles who oppose the royal family.

    As for the life and death of the common people, what does it matter to the Queen Mother of France?
