    "You must always reflect on yourself, otherwise you will be extremely happy and sad - this is no joke!" - "Chen Jianghua's Travels in Europe"

    In fact, King Louis XIV of France is not the only one who came to watch the movie today. That little kid is only eight years old. How can he understand such a drama?  The main ones were his mother, Anna of Austria, Kingdom of France, and Prime Minister and Cardinal Mazarin, with whom Anna of Austria was rumored to have had an affair.  In addition, in the box next door, there were Prince Condai and other nobles.

    The arrival of the big shots seemed to have affected the performance of the troupe. The actors were so excited that they made two small mistakes at the beginning.  But as the plot slowly progresses, these increasingly mature bad actors present scenes of conspiracy and love in front of the audience.  At the moment of the curtain call, everyone stood up and applauded as they watched the male protagonist accuse his father and then slowly die.

    The applause lasted for a long time. After a long time, the attendant in the box shouted a few words, and the theater gradually became quiet.  Then the attendant announced that in order to commend the troupe for their wonderful performance, French King Louis XIV decided to reward the troupe with a precious glass mirror.  This greatly disappointed the two artistic young people who had some expectations.  Glass mirror?  Are you kidding, that stuff is out of fashion in Australia!

    Although the monetary reward disappointed the artistic youth, with the award from His Holiness, the reputation of the entire troupe soared like a rocket.  The theater was almost full.  In the past, I was still begging theater owners to rent venues, but now it's the other way around.  Several famous theater owners followed George Wood like turtle slaves.  As long as the troupe is willing to go, it's easy to talk about the split.

    It was also thanks to this scene of "Conspiracy and Love".  Chen Jianghua rose to prominence and was instantly regarded as a great writer by Parisians.  There are always several invitations to dinners and dances every day.  From time to time, colleagues will come to visit.  Later, Anna of Austria invited the three main leaders of the troupe to dinner in the name of French King Louis XIV.

    The Queen of France was not interested in George Wood's identity as an Englishman.  Europe during this period.  The focus is in Madrid, Paris, Vienna, London and other remote mountainous areas.  barren land.  Moreover, France and Britain are old enemies and have fought a Hundred Years War.  Although they have temporarily reconciled, the bad blood between the two parties will obviously not be completely eradicated.  And although Queen Anna of France is known as Anna of Austria, she actually grew up in Madrid.  In the past, French King Louis XIII and his favorite Richelieu had always suspected that Anna of Austria would betray France and seek benefits for Spain.  And now Spain and Britain have been having frictions over the American continent. Just imagine how Anna, who grew up in Madrid, could catch a cold with George Wood, a British guy?

    After just a few casual inquiries, the French Queen focused her attention on the two artistic young men with oriental faces.  The two literary young people chatted freely.  Full of literary and artistic style.  It is implicitly expressed that the two of them are actually nobles of the Ming Dynasty - dukes.  The title of Duke shocked Anna.  In recent years, with the great geographical discoveries in Europe, the mystery of the East has been unveiled bit by bit.  But there is no doubt that in the eyes of Europeans, at least in the eyes of most Europeans.  China is still the most powerful and wealthy country in the Far East.

    Seeing Anna's interest, Chen Jianghua immediately used his strengths to describe the specious customs and customs of the Ming Dynasty with gorgeous words.  Ren Nan was playing the drum and humming a few folk tunes from time to time, which made the dinner full of atmosphere and lively.  As for the identity of the Australians, the two literary young men very wisely did not reveal it.

    You must know that the Queen of France is Spanish. Australia just beat Spain two years ago.  Who knows if this bitch will give them little shoes to wear.  At the end of the dinner, Anna asked the two Dukes from Ming Dynasty to attend the ball held by the royal family next month.  Then a carriage was politely sent to send the two artistic young people back.

    It¡¯s just when I¡¯m leaving.  Two literary young people happened to meet Prime Minister Mazarin.  Although the prime minister and cardinal chatted and laughed with him, he was very graceful.  But the look he looked at Chen Jianghua always made him feel very uncomfortable.  Thinking about it afterwards, it seems that the prime minister in "Conspiracy and Love" was too sinister. Mazarin felt that he was making insinuations?

    No matter what, these two artistic young people are completely famous now.  Although Parisians may not take a shower once a year, the whole city is filled with the pungent smell of feces and urine, and they have to be wary of ubiquitous air raids from time to time.  But what you can't deny is that Paris at this time was indeed the capital of fashion and art.  Most of the talented artists from all over Europe would gather in Paris, hoping to become famous overnight.

    Chen Jianghua and Ren Nan succeeded. Although they copied it and were a little blushing and embarrassed behind the scenes, it is undeniable that this feeling of elation is very enjoyable.

    In the days that followed, the two literary young men took plagiarism to the extreme.  And he created it at a speed that stunned the whole world.??works.  In December, Chen Jianghua created the comedy "Accomplices". Just one month later, the new script "Lovers' Emotions" was released.  At the same time, Ren Nan plagiarized "The Blue Danube" and created the Impressionist style of painting

    In that nearly a year, the two people became the darlings of high society.  Their speech and behavior attracted much attention, their dress led Parisian fashion, and their literary works and music fascinated everyone.  They frequently appear at various cocktail parties, evening parties, and dances, and they are the shining centerpiece every time.

    By March, girls began to write love letters to Chen Jianghua.  Even the respectable ladies kept hinting and flirting.  This makes Chen Jianghua very distressed Everyone knows what kind of morality is in Europe these days, and there is no penicillin. What if you get syphilis?  Even Ren Nan is the same. In April, there will always be a conceited and down-and-out little nobleman squatting under Ren Nan's window and reciting disgusting poetry.

    This high-profile life made the two literary young people a little lost.  The two artistic young people even thought that it would be good to live like this for the rest of their lives at least it would be better than in Australia where everyone knew them well.  In Australia, it seems that there is nothing you can do except get some dry stock dividends.  If you want to do some literary creation, you have to be secretive.  If you are not careful, you will be laughed out of your mouth.

    This situation lasted until August 1647, suddenly.  Overnight, their lives changed dramatically.  And the cause of the matter.  It is because of the latest drama "Notre Dame de Paris" created by Chen Jianghua.  Moli¨¨re has always been known for his satire and tragedy. This drama was performed by increasingly skilled actors in the troupe. The plot was full of tension and earned a lot of tears from the Paris people.

    Subsequent evaluation.  It¡¯s been well received all the way.  Some colleagues even promoted Chen Jianghua to the level of a thinker.  Then, before Chen Jianghua could enjoy the movie for a few days, dozens of soldiers surrounded the theater on the second day of the screening.  According to the order of Prime Minister Mazarin, the public screening of "The Hunchback of Notre Dame" was suspended, and the playwright Chen Jianghua was arrested for deliberately slandering the Holy See.

    It was not until he was imprisoned that Chen Jianghua realized what a big mistake he had made.  This is the seventeenth century.  Although the Renaissance happened, religious power was still terrifyingly powerful.  Not the nineteenth century, a time when religion was in complete decline.  If you copy Notre Dame de Paris these days, isn't this looking for death?

    Facing the interrogation and accusations of Mazarin.  Chen Jianghua insisted that he was only responsible for creating the plot and had no intention of criticizing the Holy See.  Outside the prison, female literary young man Ren Nan also panicked. While entering the palace to ask the French Queen for help, she also went to find Prince Kong Dai, who had always admired them.  Originally, this matter was settled under the argument of a queen and a prince, and at the worst it would be the consequence of being expelled.  Who makes Chen Jianghua not a Frenchman and a believer?

    It didn¡¯t happen.  Chen Jianghua's arrest caused a huge disturbance in the literary and art circles and among the people.  First, colleagues in the literary and art circles turned into swordsmen and pen-slingers.  Articles indicting Mazarin's dictatorship were published in various newspapers and periodicals, and soon after, Paris citizens spontaneously organized marches to demonstrate against Mazarin.

    have to say.  Mazarin was so unpopular that he was incomparable to his predecessor Richelieu.  Mazarin relied on Richelieu's appreciation to be appreciated by Louis XIII, and then became the prime minister of France after Louis XIII's death.  Anna of Austria, the regent, handed over all affairs in France to Mazarin.  In order to make up for the increasingly empty treasury due to the protracted war with Spain, Mazarin launched an unpopular policy.  He outsourced French taxation to financiers, thereby extracting and borrowing large sums of money.  None of these financiers are philanthropic. After obtaining this right, they will naturally collect taxes and recoup their costs as quickly as possible.

    Under this situation, the common people and nobles have long been dissatisfied.  In addition, there are recent rumors that Mazarin wants to outsource Paris' taxation, and the great writer Chen Jianghua, who is loved by the people of Paris, has been arrested and imprisoned for exposing the shady secrets of the Holy See. With the combination of these factors, Chen Jianghua  Time became the fuse.

    After the initial demonstrations were suppressed, the revolutionary Parisians finally gave up. With the secret support of Prince Cond¨¦ and other nobles, riots broke out.  Overnight, the rioting Parisians occupied the streets and alleys, erected 1,200 barricades, threw stones with a thing called 'Flonde', and attacked the residences of Mazarin's supporters.

    And as time went by, the scale of the riots became larger and larger. Not only did the whole of Paris participate, but riots also occurred in places outside Paris.  Seeing that the situation was getting out of control, Anna of Austria ran away first with her son Louis XIV, followed closely by Mazarin.

    ????????????????????After a young man was imprisoned for more than a month, he was actually praised as the spiritual leader of the riots when he came out Chen Jianghua just wanted to cry without tears. What the hell is this?  I accidentally copied the wrong play, and ended up being jailed in the blink of an eye.  If you are caught rebelling, you will lose your head!  And it was too late to regret it now. The rebels were afraid that Chen Jianghua would escape, so they ordered the entire No. 20 young man to follow him around the clock.  Not to mention eating, there are people following me even when I go to the toilet.

    What¡¯s even more terrible is that the French Queen who escaped from Paris immediately ordered Prince Cond¨¦, the planner of the riot, to lead a large army to suppress the uprising.  In just a few days, Paris was surrounded.  Not to mention people, not even a bird can fly out.  Chen Jianghua thought about it carefully and then remembered that this fucking riot was the Fronde movement that was preceded by more than a year.  It is said that the final fate of the leaders of several movements was not very good.  It's completely over now. Even if he lies down in front of Austria's Anna, he probably won't give him a way to survive.

    Thinking of the terrible consequences.  Chen Jianghua decided to burn the boat.  He went directly to the leaders of the uprising and declared that he was not only the Duke of the Ming Empire.  He is also an important figure in the Australian Republic In the past few years, Australian industrial products have been transported to Europe by the Dutch.  The Australian name gradually filled the ears of Europeans.  As soon as they heard that Chen Jianghua was a big shot in Australia, several weak-legged leaders were happy and simply put Chen Jianghua in the position of revolutionary mentor.  These idiots want to learn from Chen Jianghua with an open mind and learn from the advanced experience of the successful revolution of the Australian Republic and then.  The number of guards around Chen Jianghua doubled.  Don¡¯t even think about running away this time!

    ¡°Then Chen Jianghua had to face a Hamlet-like dilemma, should he participate in the riots or sit on the sidelines?  It seems that no matter what happens, as long as the uprising fails in the end, he will lose his head?  He looked in the mirror for a long time, but no matter how hard he looked, he couldn't see that the artistic young man in the mirror looked anything like a revolutionary mentor.

    Well, you forced me!  Chen Jianghua made up his mind and decided to join the Fronde movement.  Trying to guide the revolutionary movement.  In fact, Chen Jianghua was thinking that since he couldn't run away, he would actively invest and look for opportunities at the same time.  On the one hand, let's see if we can rewrite history and make the Fronde a success.  Then create a Paris Commune two hundred years in advance What is certain is that Chen Jianghua's starting point is for his own life.

    "The sad thing is that it seems that those French idiots are not stupid and do not delegate power at all.  He just implicitly said that a big man like Chen Jianghua is better off with a pen.  Just create more dramas and songs to boost the morale of the revolting people.  It's like directing a war.  Chen Jianghua doesn¡¯t have to worry about it anymore.

    Chen Jianghua was about to cry but had no tears, feeling that the countdown to his life had begun.

    Prince Cond¨¦ led an army to surround Paris.  After persuasion failed, war broke out.  Parisians cornered.  They unleashed a powerful fighting force and actually defended the city, putting them on a par with Prince Kong Dai's regular army.

    The war turned into a tug-of-war. In the first month, the French army usually started to attack in the morning. After two failures, it stopped at noon.  It seems that Prince Cond¨¦ is planning to fight a war of attrition. You must know that the food in Paris will not last long.

    In the second month, Prince Cond¨¦ may have been under pressure from the queen and the prime minister. He worked a lot harder this month and invaded Paris many times.  Thanks to the many barricades in Paris, the rapidly reinforcing rebels only drove the French out with heavy casualties each time.

    By the third month, the situation became worse.  With food supplies in Paris, the rebels began to slaughter livestock in large numbers.  Moreover, the continuous war seemed to have completely consumed the enthusiasm of the rebels. Their combat effectiveness was plummeting. It seemed that the French army would completely invade the city in the next attack.  It was at this time that Chen Jianghua discovered some clues - Prince Kong Dai did not seem to want to end the war so early.  The French army, which has an advantage outside, can take it with one effort. If it has been delayed for so long, Prince Cond¨¦ obviously has a plan.

    Recalling that Prince Kong Dai was the mastermind behind the Fronde movement, the two literary young men gathered together various rumors for a long time and roughly guessed Prince Kong Dai¡¯s intentions.  Mazarin was unpopular, and Prince Cond¨¦ wanted to replace him.  In the original history, after Prince Cond¨¦ put down the first Fronde movement, he was dissatisfied because he did not get the position of prime minister, and was arrested by Mazarin.  This directly led to the outbreak of the second Fronde movement.  Although it failed in the end, it at least showed that Prince Kong Dai could be used.

    After thinking about this clearly, the two artistic young people decided to make a bet.  They first persuaded the leaders of the uprising and sent envoys to lobby Prince Cond¨¦, stating that they were only targeting Mazarin's tyranny, not France.  If Prince Kong Dai is willing to make the decision for the rebels, the rebels can??Put down your weapons At this time, the pressure of survival is in front of you, and even ambitious people have to temporarily restrain themselves.  Faced with an extremely embarrassing situation, the rebels finally adopted the opinions of two literary young men. One of the leaders went directly to the French military camp outside the city under a white flag.

    To the disappointment of the two literary young men, Prince Kong Dai agreed to nothing.  But from that day on, the French army's offensive intensity suddenly became much smaller.  This gives everyone a little hope.  The situation after that seemed to have returned to two months ago, with the French army bluffing and withdrawing its troops at noon every day.  At the same time, the moved Prince Cond¨¦ began to frequently put pressure on Anna of Austria.

    Prince Cond¨¦ asked Mazarin to step down and replace him.  The letters to Anna are full of sympathy for the revolting people and disgust for Mazarin's tyranny.  Even in a recent letter, His Royal Highness the Prince bluntly stated that "France must make changes," and the threat behind the words was palpable.

    Perhaps the British bourgeois revolution gave Anna of Austria some bad premonitions, or perhaps she was afraid of Prince Cond¨¦¡¯s retaliation. In short, after a protracted tug-of-war, the French Queen finally made a decision: to remove Mazarin.  !

    Prince Cond¨¦, who replaced him, immediately negotiated with the insurgents in Paris. After pardoning everyone, the insurgents laid down their weapons and chose to surrender.  Taking advantage of the chaotic situation when the French army entered the city, the two literary young men did not dare to delay any longer and escaped with their bodyguards.  For fear of being intercepted at the port, they simply headed straight to Austria.  There, they waited for several months and finally met Andrew before setting foot on the sailboat back to Australia.  What they didn¡¯t know was that a hundred years later, the two of them were directly put on the altar by the French, calling them the founders of the French bourgeois revolution (To be continued)
