When Baron Bogur returned to the palace, François I had already rested early. François I was only 21 years old, which was the time when he was young and vigorous. Queen Claude was also young and beautiful, and she was a flowery age.
Although François I was secretly ligated by Marin, this cheating product, he didn't know it himself. In addition, ligation did not affect the couple, so he didn't realize anything and was still slutty with the young queen who was only 16 years old.
Now, it was only seven or eight o'clock in the evening, and the two of them "rest" early...
For a monarch of a country, creating heirs is a first-class event. Therefore, even if Baron Bogur is anxious to offer his advice, he can only wait until the next day. After all, he is not a eunuch and cannot break into the king's bedroom at will.
The next morning, it was past eight o'clock in the morning. François, who was overworked last night, slowly got up and then came to the restaurant for breakfast.
The breakfast was also made by Fat Brothers. It was a very delicious bacon pizza with two eggs added. In addition, there was a large cup of hot milk.
Because François I had been ligated long ago, Marin did not have to let the Fat Brothers tamper with food at all. But it was still necessary for the Fat Brothers to stay in the Paris court. Therefore, while Marin asked the Fat Brothers to stay there to inquire about the news, he asked them to help the king's family cook with due diligence, including Queen Mother Anne who moved to the side hall. Of course, if you want a palace guard like Baron Bogur, you are not qualified.
But as long as you are thick-skinned, Baron Bogur can often come and eat and drink. For example, when making breakfast, the fat brothers often make more backups. Baron Bogur took this opportunity to take away a backup bacon pizza, stood aside and started eating.
François I was not concerned about this. Because he and Queen Claude had a small appetite, and Queen Anne's breakfast had been delivered specially. These backup bacon pizzas were actually cheaper in the end, but they were usually shared by the king and his wife after they had eaten. If they were willing to wait, they could share it. Of course, sometimes, Bogul could also take a backup breakfast before the king and his wife finished eating. After all, the king and his wife couldn't finish it, so it was just a rule to keep the backup, for fear that the king would suddenly have a big appetite.
While eating the pizza full of bacon fried with olive oil, Baron Bogul's mouth was covered in oil. After eating, Bogul wiped his hands with a towel before taking out the small notebook that recorded the method from his pocket...
François I looked at the method recorded in the small notebook and fell into deep thought. He didn't even notice that the half-chewed bacon pizza in his hand had already become cold.
"Your Majesty, do you think this method is useful?" Baron Bogur asked with hopeful face.
François I lowered his head and thought for a while, and said:
"In theory, it is indeed a good way. But I always feel that something is wrong... Let's dominate, let Duke Charles (Duke Bourbon), Earl Dult, Viscount John and others come over, and let us discuss this matter together..."
Two hours later, François I's close ministers came to the conference room of the palace to participate in the discussion together.
"Your Majesty, did you call us together?" Charles III, the highest-ranking Duke of Bourbon, took the lead in asking.
François I did not answer, but handed Bogur's small notebook to Duke Charles and asked them to circulate it. After everyone had read it, François I asked:
"June, what's the method? Can it solve the current dilemma in Paris?"
Duke Charles frowned and said nothing. Earl Dult, as the old leader on the secret front, raised his own concerns:
"Your Majesty, this method is naturally good. However, there is one thing to note - news must not be leaked! Once the secret is leaked, your reputation will be ruined. Therefore, although this plan is good, the first thing to do is to keep it absolutely confidential and not leak it!"
François I suddenly realized—
"I said why do I feel something is wrong? It turns out that I feel that there is such an omission..."
At this time, John Raffie, who was involved, said calmly:
"There is no problem with the confidentiality. It is only me, Baron Bogur, Knight Louis, Knight Edu and the three merchants. Needless to say, Knight Louis and Knight Edu are also nobles, so I can give the order to banish the ban. As for those three merchants... I will send someone to let them shut up forever..."
The so-called "shut up forever" naturally means letting them "receive a lunch box". Although this is a bit unauthorized, it is actually nothing for the sake of the king's reputation.
"But that young man who offered his advice... seemed a little talented. Isn't it a pity to deal with it like this?" Baron Bogur hesitated. He was still optimistic about the "Griezmann".
John Raffie shook his head and said:
"Mr. Bogur, if it were normal, his skills were indeed worthy of praise. But you should know that if this matter is leaked, it will have a great impact on Your Majesty's reputation. Compared with Your Majesty's reputation, his little cleverness is not worth mentioning!"
Speaking of this, François I and several other nobles nodded one after another. Anyway, they were just three merchants, and there was no regret.
"But, I'm worried that the three of them will talk to others and leak the plan..." Duke Charles III of Bourbon said worried.
John Raffi pretended to think about it, and then said:
"It should be no problem. This happened last night and it shouldn't have time to spread. The three of them are currently living in one of my houses and have been treated as guests. I will send someone to hold them back and prevent them from going out to talk to others. Then, tonight..."
Everyone nodded, thinking that this approach was reliable. But John Raffie said hesitantly:
"Your Majesty, don't you think about it anymore? This matter is too big and it's amazing to reveal it. If you don't use this method, you won't have to solve the problem of the three of them..." After saying that, he showed a somewhat reluctant expression, as if he was not willing to kill his three "friends".
This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! François I waved his hand and said:
"I don't want this either, but Viscount John, you have to know how bad the impact is caused by more than 300,000 victims surrounding Paris? If it continues, not only will the court bear a heavy burden, but the entire French Kingdom will also be shamed. After all, the capital is surrounded by more than 300,000 hungry people, which is a shame. Moreover, I am afraid that after a long time, these people will really make trouble and let outsiders laugh at it..."
Less than a year after François I ascended the throne, his ideas and methods were still very immature, and his prestige was not enough. When he suddenly encountered this, he was so panicked that he wanted to solve the problem as soon as possible. As for the consequences, he couldn't care about so much...
After John Raffie made a hesitant expression, he said:
"Actually, your Majesty, the reason why I am worried is that I have thought of a problem, a very serious problem..."
"What's the problem?" François I was also a little nervous when he heard it was "serious".
John Lafite continued:
"Soldier source! Your Majesty, there are more than 60,000 strong men among these more than 300,000 victims. Among them, there are even people who have been mercenaries and recruit soldiers. If they were given this to Ma Lin, the Grand Duke of Beihai, maybe these people who have experience in joining the army will be recruited by him to join the army..."
Speaking of this, François I and others' faces changed...
In fact, this was what Marin deliberately asked John Rafi to say. The more John Rafi opposes, the more he points out the problem, the more he will appear to be innocent. Even if there is a problem one day, he will not be implicated. After all, he did not agree before and asked many questions, and no one would doubt him.
