Medieval Reiki Revival

When Ivan heard the news of Mirabeau's downfall, he suddenly remembered a sentence. A total of just over three months.

You know, he is the initiator of the Revolutionary Army, an old revolutionary with the nickname Mi Paopao.

Mirabeau was driven from the city to the countryside by Mazarin.

He has never given up, and has been encouraging his companions.

To be honest, from the perspective of an ordinary person, Mirabeau may have this or that flaw, but his will is very firm, he is a man who cannot be defeated by a hundred failures, and he is very good at grasping tiny things. Chance.

He is not from a big city like Marne or Provins.

Mirabeau, like Ivan, came from the borderlands.

He is a local nobleman of Marseilles.

According to the propaganda in the newspapers, Mirabeau had committed fraud.

The charge was to lie to conceal his identity as a common man, so that kings and nobles thought he was an earl.

Mirabeau was not a count, his brother was a count.

The primogeniture system of the European aristocracy means that under the feudal system, the inheritance system of noble families is based on the principle of the eldest son first, that is, the inheritance and power of the noble family are inherited by the eldest son, and the other sons are eliminated or forced to support themselves.

This inheritance principle is for social power and economic status.

It was precisely because of this principle of hesitation that Mirabeau left the family with almost nothing.

His father did not like the second son.

Because their two personalities are too similar, Mirabeau has a stubborn temper, and sometimes he will not give up until he achieves his goals. When he was young, he often quarreled with his father at home, and the father and son would even fight and smash the Vases at home.

If this is the case, Mirabeau is only slightly flawed.

The point is that when he left Marseilles and came to Bam, he vowed to make a career, and he stubbornly set his goal on Mazarin.

Aside from Mazarin's own power, the power he possesses is terrifying.

Representative of the big landlord class in the north.

He is also the younger brother of the cardinal, and is recognized by traditional religious forces.

If Mazarin's mind had not changed, and he would implement strict theological rule in the country, there might not be anyone who would oppose him. Mirabeau realized that he had the opportunity to overthrow him when he saw Mazarin's intimidation of the people. .

But it’s not enough just to have an opportunity, you need people and money.

If you have neither of these, you have to be famous.

So Mirabeau borrowed his brother's title of earl, and used this title to gather a lot of power, and successfully got into the top position of the revolutionary army.

He and the revolutionary army have achieved each other.

Mirabeau needs strength.

The Revolutionary Army needed Mirabeau's knowledge and vision.

But there is a problem that he miscalculated the hearts of the people. Even the revolutionary army has a lot of people who have a sense of expectation for the king. So when Mirabeau tried to promote the idea of ​​human rights, some people in the revolutionary army also began to oppose it. Mirabeau.

Because these people have changed from ordinary people to vested interests.

Louis XVI saw the right moment and disintegrated Mirabeau and some diehards of the revolutionary army.

None of them died.

Everyone else is basically homeless.

For deceiving the king, Mirabeau was ordered to suspend his post and never be hired.

Ivan put down the newspaper in his hand and sighed.

Count Mirabeau and Louis XVI both have their own selfishness, the difference is that they stand on different class positions, in a sense, the struggle between Count Mirabeau and Louis XVI is actually a struggle between the bourgeoisie and the bourgeoisie. The struggle of the feudal aristocracy.

Only this time the bourgeoisie failed.

But the development of the times will not stop because of one or two people.

The agreement signed between Louis XVI and Espania brought human rights thoughts into Francit like a tide. In just one month, Ivan saw newspapers criticizing human rights thoughts.

It is better to be criticized than ignored.

Some members of the Revolutionary Army wrote privately to Beauxbaton Hospital.

Ivan also received it.

But he couldn't make a move.

Because his current position is the Grand Master of Protecting the Nation.

The father's fiefdom and title were given by King Louis, at least to give some face.

It can't be said that someone managed to get rid of a political enemy, and you get it back, and Count Mirabeau just lost his position, and other life safety is normal.

In addition to the above reasons, there is one more thing.

That is, Ivan has no name.

He had long been separated from the revolutionary army and court nobles.

If Mirabeau had joined the Mopper Club earlier, Ivan would have been able to get involved.

But he didn't.

At this time, Louis XVI was very proud. He specially called everyone to show off his success: "Although I was not worth mentioning in the first half of my life, I was able to be lucky all the time in the second half of my life. This is inseparable from my hard work and wisdom. So in my new palace there must be specially built cherubs and angels."

"Your Majesty, you are a person favored by God."

"The demons and ghosts in some corners dare not challenge you, or they will show their true colors sooner or later."

His father, the Duke of Orléans, saw that no one was against him, so he gave up his territory completely.

The Duke of Orleans became the new Chancellor of the Exchequer, and tried his best to collect taxes from the people. The people of Francit, who had finally benefited from the opening up, became poor again.

In contrast, Francit's royal family is getting richer and richer.

Every day they summon nobles to hold balls and invite tailors to make new clothes.

Joy and laughter spread from the palace to the dirty street corner.

The brilliant dome display of gold coins turns into a gray sky.

Beggars are rampant, and children are skinny.

They stared blankly at the sky, praying to God sadly, hoping to know where their next meal would be.

Of course, Louis XVI does not need to be so proud.

From Ivan's own perspective, Mirabeau's plan was at least half successful.

In October, a magnificent book called "The Spirit of the Law" was quickly spread from the south to the north, and everyone rushed to pass it on. As long as people with the ability to read in the streets and alleys basically talked about the views and content of the book .

The publishing house reprinted it several times.

Not enough.

I had no choice but to keep thinking about purchasing printed paper from other places.

For a while, the paper used for printing in Prowan was more than three layers more expensive.

That's why sometimes you can't buy it.

"The Spirit of Laws" by Montesquieu.

There is a key sentence in the article, "Anyone who has power will abuse it", which laid the ideological foundation for putting power in a cage;

There are also some very interesting points.

"To prevent abuse of power, power must be checked and balanced with power."

"It is not insignificant to enlighten the wisdom of the people. The prejudice of officials begins with the prejudice of the people."

"In the age of ignorance, even if officials committed heinous crimes, they would have no scruples; in the enlightened age, even if officials did great deeds, they would be fearful."

"Everything has its law: God has its law, the material world has its law, superhuman intelligence has its law, beasts have its law, and man has its law."

If the human rights that people like Locke and Voltaire talked about before were just ideological chant, then Montesquieu's "The Spirit of the Law" is galloping freely on strict legal provisions, "On the Law" Every chapter of the book is slapping the traditional aristocracy in the face.

is discussion.

is thinking.

At the same time, it is an institutional spirit that can be practiced.

Metaphorically speaking, this book is similar to a democratic constitution.

If it weren't for the influence Mirabeau left behind, if it weren't for the pride of the king.

It is impossible for this book to be printed on a large scale, and even to the point where everyone has a copy.

After reacting, Louis XVI's face was gloomy: "Mirabeau, Mirabeau, you really deserve to die."

"No, this scourge cannot be left behind."

"Come on, give me a chance, go and get rid of Mirabeau."

"Yes."
