When Lu Tianxiang and Zhang Ruifeng walked into the room, they saw the serious faces of the Frenchmen, and there was a hint of anger in them.
What's the matter?
"Everyone, please sit down."
Queen Mother Anne waited for the Chinese envoy to sit down before asking: "Is your envoy still going to England?"
Lu Tianxiang nodded and said, "I'm going there. It's the emperor's order to send envoys to various countries along the way."
Prime Minister Mazarin said: "Just yesterday, the usurper Cromwell sent an emissary to announce that he will officially serve as the protector of the United Kingdom early next year. He has re-enacted the British Constitution and the power of Parliament will be transferred to him alone. It is extremely unreasonable for him to launch a rebellion, and killing the king is even more vicious. Even if the British king is a tyrant, after killing the king, he should support nobles to succeed him."
"And now, Britain has not only lost its king, but even its parliament has been disbanded. All his actions have no basis, and he has destroyed traditions, legal principles and rules! France will not recognize Cromwell, and I hope that Chinese envoys will not go to the UK access!"
Many months ago, Cromwell dispersed the Long Parliament, but did not completely dissolve the Parliament.
Members of Congress, just can't call the shots. However, the overall framework of the Congress was still retained, and it was ordered to start diplomatic negotiations with the Netherlands, assist Cromwell in formulating a new constitution, and so on.
Negotiations had already begun before the Anglo-Dutch war was over.
The talks in the parliament were a mess, and Cromwell finally couldn't stand it. He simply wiped out the parliament and went to discuss with the Dutch in person. The same is true for the new constitution. He asked his confidant Ai to preside over the compilation in the future, otherwise the parliamentarians will drag on and do not know when it will be delayed.
If the period of more than half a year is placed in China, it can be understood as the "preparation period for abdication".
? For the Chinese dictator to usurp power, he needs three requests and three resignations before Zen. For Cromwell to usurp power, he needs to amend the British Constitution and transfer the power of the country by Parliament, so that he can establish his own legal system.
Of course the council was not reconciled, but it couldn't make it through, so it could only choose to compromise.
Cromwell also had to compromise, and he couldn't force the congressmen to death, otherwise it would be ugly. Therefore, the re-enacted British Constitution retained many interests of the nobles and big businessmen, and limited some of Cromwell's powers.
During the period, Cromwell also wooed, divided, and intimidated, and by "treating the royalists well" and other means, he pretended to support a new king, which scared the MPs and said that everything was easy to discuss.
The rabbit dies and the fox is sad!
The news of Cromwell's imminent dictatorship completely angered the French royal family. I received the news yesterday, and today I invited the Chinese envoys to express their attitude straight to the point, hoping that China would not recognize Cromwell's rule.
Feeling this attitude, Zhang Ruifeng immediately condemned along the Huatou: "There is an ancient book in China called "Laozi Xianger Zhu". Okay? There is an old saying in China, "If the name is not right, the words will not be right". Then Cromwell claimed to be the protector of the country, and he was neither a monarch nor a subject. The king is not a king, and the minister is not a minister. What is this? baffling!"
Louis XIV clapped his hands and praised: "The wisdom of the Chinese sages is really extraordinary. This is the reason. The protector of the country is neither a king, nor a nobleman or a minister. There is no legal order at all."
The book "Laozi Xianger Notes" is a commentary on the "Tao Te Ching", and it is said that the author is Zhang Daoling.
To be honest, this book is so-so. In some places, the "Tao Te Ching" has been annotated with a Confucian flavor.
This annotation method may be intentional, because "Lao Tzu Xianger Notes" belongs to Taoist classics (not Taoism). Now that a sect has been established, it must have an organizational structure and cater to the rulers at that time. Borrowing Confucianism's idea of ??loyalty to the emperor can guide believers to be loyal to Taoist leaders, gain the approval of the court and ministers, and attract more scholars to believe in religion.
Queen Anne said to Mazarin: "Let the businessman buy this book from China, translate it into French, and submit it to the French Academy for research. Especially the section 'A country cannot live without a king' must be vigorously promoted. , let those rebels see it!"
The paragraph "A country cannot live without a king" is too good, and it completely distorts Lao Tzu's thoughts when commenting!
In the paragraph "will want to take the world and do it", Lao Tzu's key lies in the word "for", which can be understood as occupying, playing with, controlling, etc.
It means that the power of the state is a very magical thing. Governing the world must be careful, and it must be guided by the situation and act naturally. Governing the world with rough and tough means is doomed to failure, and may even lose control of the country.
"Laozi Xianger Notes"The two parties bid farewell, which can be described as a good relationship between the host and the guest, and it is a good diplomatic story.
Watching the fleet of envoys drift away, Louis XIV turned around and walked towards the city, and said to the guards: "I won't take the carriage, I want to walk back to the Louvre."
The reason for this exquisite boy to walk back to the palace is very simple, he wants to show his new hairstyle to the Parisians.
Louis XIV, who had 48 royal wig makers in history, still has no ancestral hair loss problem. The hair on his head is abundant, and he can wear a small crown to make himself look more oriental.
High-heeled shoes, tights, brocade robes, and now a small crown.
Such a mash-up style of Chinese and Western styles, it really becomes the most beautiful boy on the street. People have been discussing the king's hairstyle, and they think it looks awesome, and those who are a little rich already want to imitate it.
Louis XIV held his head high, his heart full of pride.
Of course the robe did not dare to mop the floor, it was rolled up and hung on the shoulders so as not to be soiled by street feces. His hair crown is made of pure gold, inlaid with an emerald, which is much more expensive than the small crown of the Chinese envoy.
This guy also wrote a letter to Zhao Han, all in Latin, not in French, it would appear disrespectful.
In the letter, Louis XIV expressed his yearning for China and his admiration for the Chinese emperor. He hopes to be friends with the emperor of China. In the future, he will rule the west, and the emperor of China will rule the east, and together they will lead the fashion trend of the world.
