Chapter 136 The New King

Just when the upper class dignitaries were more or less immersed in the transactions behind the wedding, the bigger news smashed people to pieces in the blink of an eye.

No matter where you are, as long as you hear the news, you will immediately jump up in shock.

Because the king is dead.

That's right, the king who fell asleep.

This guy spent the first half of his life extravagantly, spending a lot of money to build the Palace of Versailles, and then he was imprisoned by Mazarin, and the Palace of Versailles was also destroyed when the rebels fought with Mazarin.

Of course, King Charles originally just passed out from being too emotional.

It is not so easy to say death.

At most a little cerebral hemorrhage.

After a few months of recovery, you should be able to walk on the ground.

However, in order to restore King Charles to health earlier, the court steward who was in charge of this matter went to the people to find a doctor, and he really found a well-known doctor.

The man was from the south and had just arrived in Bam City.

The banner he played was the second senior brother of Lord Wizard.

This has to be eye-catching.

The palace steward did not dare to ask Ivan, but he had asked someone to investigate. This banner cannot be faked, because there are also people from Luzpitburg in Bam City, just ask.

After asking, I found out that he is really Ivan's second senior brother.

The palace steward was full of confidence. He felt that even if the doctor didn't understand witchcraft, his medical skills should not be bad.

But unexpectedly, after the doctor finished treating the king's illness, the king's body would suddenly deteriorate and he would die soon.

The second senior brother felt aggrieved: "It's all your fault for delaying it too late, the king's illness is too serious."

"I have been busy these days, and I have worked hard without credit."

The second senior brother formulated a four-step treatment plan.

In the first step, the veins of Charles II were opened, and a half pint of blood was placed.

Of course, this is still the most basic treatment.

After all, the second senior brother is better than blue, and he has his own ideas after practicing medicine for many years.

He gave the king a large dose of emetic to help him detoxify.

A potion made of "beneficial substances" such as fennel, cinnamon, cardamom, violets, beetroot and salt, and then gave Charles II multiple enemas with this potion of unknown effect.

Later, he still felt that the effect was not good, so he ground the skull cut from the corpse into powder, mixed it with laxatives, and then gave it to the king to drink.

In fact, it was a flashback.

Under the dubious attitude of the court chief, the second senior brother started to burn the soldering iron.

He scalded the blisters on the king's head, then squeezed out the blood blisters, and smeared pigeon dung on the soles of Charles II's feet to guide the disease away from his feet.

It can only be said that King Charles really suffered for not dying for the first time.

Everyone was shocked to hear of the king's death.

Including Count Mirabeau, because he had no plans to murder the king at all.

Mirabeau just wanted to seize more power while King Charles was incapable of governing, so his order was to let the king receive treatment later so that he could cook his own status.

The head of the court is entirely in his own right.

But the problem is that in the current situation, he has to bear a lot of responsibilities, and he might be exiled.

The head of the palace patted his head: "How could such a quack doctor be invited here? At first, I thought that he, as the senior wizard of the Lord Wizard, should have a little real talent and learning, but I didn't expect him to put the king to death directly."

His face was full of sorrow, and his body fell down again and again.

The subordinate next to him proposed a solution: "Maybe it's not that the doctor is not good, but that the king's health is too poor to support such a high-intensity treatment."

"Hmph, such words can only deceive outsiders."

"As long as there is an excuse, authenticity doesn't matter."

"But Mirabeau and the others don't necessarily believe it."

The subordinate smiled slyly: "Actually, I think Count Mirabeau is willing to believe it."

"why?"

"Because what he said before was that the king was seriously ill and set up a national salvation committee. If they are really loyal, they should know that the king's physical condition is actually good. Although he can't govern for a long time, it is still no problem to listen to the report every day. of."

The head of the palace snorted disdainfully: "Everyone knows about Mirabeau's petty thoughts, and King Charles also knows about it. That's why he actively cooperates with the doctor's treatment. He just wants to get better quickly and regain his rights."

"But since the king is dead, the conflict between the king and Mirabeau dissipates at this moment."

"Until the new king appears, Count Mirabeau will act in the name of the National Salvation Committee."

His eyes grew brighter, and soon he realized that the king's death was in the same interest as Count Mirabeau's.

If he's in that position now, I'm afraid he's happy to be in power for a longer period of time.

"I have to change my master," said the court master to himself.

"I hope that Mirabeau will have the upper hand for a longer time, so that I can reap more benefits."

"Otherwise, I won't have a chance until the second king appears."

The head of the court is a very sensitive position, and the king will basically assign his trusted confidants to take it. As long as the new king comes to power, his dismissal is basically a certainty.

He thought for a while, and finally came to Mirabeau's house with King Charles' secret letter.

Count Mirabeau made some secret deal with him.

Anyway, in the past few days at the Moulin Rouge, he has been seen spending money like water.

And Mirabeau, who got the secret letter, ran to the Duke of Orleans' territory, but he didn't call the other National Salvation Commissioners, because Mirabeau felt that the less he knew about this kind of thing, the better.

In the secret letter, King Charles gave a brief description of his situation.

He did not erect enemies at will.

Nor did he angrily denounce Mirabeau as a thief who stole the country.

Instead, he just said that his health is getting worse and worse, and it is very likely that he will not be able to survive the day of recovery, and because he was too flamboyant before and did not pay attention to maintenance, he has not left any heirs. He hopes to live in Anjou, Lusitania Dukes are able to inherit their thrones.

According to the inheritance law, it is reasonable for the Duke of Anjou to inherit the throne.

It is not in the interest of Mirabeau and others to allow a foreigner to be king.

After careful study, they concealed the king's secret letter.

Then organize the bloodline review team.

It was also published in the newspaper stating that the eligibility for succession to the throne was being studied.

They pretended to be carefully screening, and deliberately left out the Duke of Anjou. When some people asked, they said that it was because the grandfather of the Duke of Anjou was a brother of the previous king, but his mother was only Lusitania. An ordinary nobleman.

Moreover, although the father of the Duke of Anjou inherited the title, he was not in the direct line.

Therefore, he is not eligible to be an heir.

These bloodline investigations basically did not ask the parties concerned.

Many nobles don't know much about it, so they can only make rough guesses based on gossip or books.

The Duke of Anjou's father is of course a direct descendant, but he had an elder brother who died young when he was a child, so he was said to be the second son.

Mirabeau and others plan to come and plan to go.

At last they found that the person most qualified to inherit the throne was at hand.

That was Louis, the son of the Duke of Orleans.

The Duke of Orleans was very satisfied with the result. He patted his son on the shoulder: "Don't have long nights and dreams, you will be in charge tomorrow, Louis."

"Can I really be king?"

Louis couldn't believe it, he just got married and didn't look mature at all.

The expression is still very jumpy.

"Yes, when the time comes, you will be the one who decides Francit."

"Hahahaha, great."

He was ecstatic, and the red light on his face was about to overflow.

"According to the names of previous kings, this is our No. 16 king named Louis, so you may be called Louis XVI."

Louis XVI clenched his fists: "I will definitely become the most famous king in history. At that time, I will build a super-large luxurious palace, which will be bigger than Versailles, and let all the nobles come to my party. All the rooms are lit with whale oil."

The Duke of Orleans only thought he was too happy: "After everything is over, do whatever you want."

"After the succession ceremony tomorrow, we're going to have a big ball."

"It is not only to further win over the rebels, Mirabeau, and wizards, but also to declare your superiority. Then we will find a way to send these rebels to various places. It is best to divide them and don't let them form a group."

"As for that Mirabeau, let's make a promise to him first."

"When the opportunity arises, deal with him."
