On June 20, as soon as the delegates arrived at the Palace of Versailles, they saw soldiers blocking the venue.
Mirabeau was shouting like a rooster to the officers who blocked the venue: "We are representatives of the National Assembly! We want to go in for a meeting!"
When An Ning saw this scene, she was overjoyed: It's coming, the Tennis Court Declaration is coming!
But he pretended to be confused on the surface, grabbed a representative who came first and asked, "What's going on?"
Although An Ning did not recognize the man who was being pulled, he knew An Ning, so he responded directly and respectfully: "Mr. Frost, as you can see, the soldiers have blocked the meeting place and will not let us in to continue the meeting!
"
An Ning said "Oh".
At this time, the man said again: "By the way, Mr. Frost, you are an officer, right? Can you order the soldiers to let them go?"
An Ning thought to herself, please don't mess with me. The last time I stepped forward, I had somehow become a big boss in the council. From then on, it was difficult for me to fish, and there were always people asking me for my opinion.
I will not speak this time, but let everyone go to the tennis court to exercise - just like the history of another time and space.
But An Ning still had some guilt in her heart: You won't let me show off this time, right?
Am I a child of luck? Opportunities that shouldn't have come my way are thrown at me?
No way, right?
At this moment, An Ning heard someone say loudly: "Since the king won't let us in, let's just find a big enough place to continue the discussion!"
Another shouted: "Go to the Royal Tennis Court! It's a big place there!"
An Ning breathed a sigh of relief: Fortunately, I won't be the one to take the lead in anything.
More representatives shouted: "Go to the tennis court! Discuss there!"
An Ning saw this scene and also shouted: "Go to the tennis court!"
Then a large group of representatives began to move, cursing and yelling.
Peace also goes with the flow.
Halfway through the walk, Robespierre somehow came to An Ning's side, so he said angrily: "It's the king! The king wants to oppose us and the establishment of a constitution!"
An Ning echoed: "It must be the king. Who would willingly hand over power?"
Robespierre continued: "Why doesn't His Majesty the King understand that constitutional monarchy is also good for him? If he continues like this, we might learn from the Americans and drive the king away!"
Good guy, at this time Robespierre already wanted to drive away the king.
Danton followed up and said, "Isn't this just right? Among the representatives of the second estate is the Marquis de Lafayette, who is a hero of the American Revolutionary War."
What a hero of the American Revolutionary War, you want to call Mr. Lafayette the father of the founding of the United States!
An Ning thought.
At this time the tennis court arrived.
The representatives filed in cursing, and then Mirabeau found a table and jumped on it, shouting: "Everyone! This is the king's response! He wants to force us to give up what we are doing! No, this is not allowed.
!
“Everyone, I think we should reiterate our previous declaration!
"Unless a reasonable constitution that meets current requirements is designated and promulgated, the National Assembly will never be dissolved!"
Everyone cheered together.
Many onlookers lying on the windows of the indoor tennis court echoed Mirabeau's words loudly.
Sieyès also stood on the table and said beside Mirabeau: "I propose that we make this statement publicly! And everyone should sign and send a copy to the king!"
"Okay! Let him know our determination!"
"We will never compromise with the royal power!"
In fact, in recent decades, France's royal power has been greatly restricted, but the restrictions mainly come from the Supreme Court, which is composed of nobles.
In fact, it was always the nobles who struggled with the royal power during this period, which is somewhat similar to the struggle between the royal power and the prime minister's power in China.
But this time, the Third Estate launched a challenge to the royal power!
The statement was quickly drafted, and then the representatives went up to sign it one by one.
An Ning quietly wrote her name in the corner to make it less conspicuous.
The declaration was sent to Louis XVI.
**
"This is outrageous!" Queen Mary slammed the table angrily, "How can you tolerate them handing you such a thing! You should send everyone who signed this to the Bastille!"
Louis XVI frowned: "My dear wife, do you know that this is five hundred people? The Bastille cannot hold that many people."
"I don't care! Then arrest some of the leaders! For example, arrest Andy Frost from last time! That cobbler tarnished my ball. He stepped on other people's feet at the ball and made a fool of himself!"
An Ning probably didn't know that Queen Mary remembered him because he made a fool of himself at the Queen's ball.
Louis XVI looked embarrassed: "Well...he didn't commit any crime..."
"Isn't this a crime?" Mary pointed to the statement on the table, "They all sent you this kind of thing! These people are no longer ordinary representatives, they are unruly people, this is a rebellion! It must be
Punch hard!"
The king raised his eyebrows: "I thought... closing the venue would make them restrain themselves a little..."
"Don't you understand yet? We must use the most severe thunderous means to deal with them! Send out the Royal Guards!"
When Mary said this, it was as if the Praetorian Guard could solve all problems like losing nothing.
The king held his forehead and said: "I'll think about it again. Let's do this. I'll hold a royal meeting tomorrow and explain my interests to them in person!"
**
The next day, as the representatives were going to the tennis court to continue their discussions, news came again that the king had convened a royal meeting.
This time it was in the Royal Chamber that had been occupied by the National Assembly before, and all three levels were participating.
So when An Ning entered the hall that day, in addition to the old faces that she was used to seeing, there were also many faces that she hadn't seen in a long time.
The most conspicuous thing at the venue is the area where the priests sit - it cannot be inconspicuous. The priests' clothes are all solid colors. The first row is full of bright red cardinals, and the back is raven-like black. In terms of color,
That's very impressive.
This is especially true for An Ning, a player of P Club. In P Club’s game European Universal Universal, the rebels’ flags are red and black, so when An Ning saw the color scheme of the priests’ area, she immediately couldn’t hold back.
Already.
Good guy, a whole square of "Lin Dengwan"! (Lindenwan is a Europa Universalis meme. The rebel leader in the game is usually called Leader One. As a result, during the Chinese translation, the default name was ingeniously transliterated into "Lin Dengwan".
Dengwan”)
Perhaps because the clergy and nobles were all present, the members of the National Assembly who had scolded Fang Qiu in this hall in the past few days were now very honest. They sat in the square facing Louis XVI.
An Ning has been a fisherman for a few days, and today he was caught between Danton and Robespierre again.
In the past few days, Robespierre and Danton had actively participated in the meeting, either giving speeches or listening to others' speeches, and they all sat in the front row of the meeting.
An Ning followed the habit of his college days and sat in the back row. He would not go on stage to speak anyway. He was just fishing and there was no need to sit in the front.
But the situation was different today. An Ning was "trapped" by two of his old friends again.
It was already very hot in Paris at this time of year. The delegates crowded together to wait for Louis XVI, and many people's wigs were soaked with sweat.
At this moment, Louis XVI finally arrived belatedly. He glanced at the members of the third estate, the National Assembly, and curled his lips slightly.
The ceremonial official announced loudly, and everyone stood up and saluted the king.
Compared with the other two levels, members of the National Assembly stand up slowly and salute very reluctantly.
After the ceremony, the ceremonial officer announced that King Louis XVI would speak.
This time the king was not dressed up, so he did not wear the blue iris cloak of the dead man. He wore a blue coat and a blue and white sash.
He still didn't wear a crown. Maybe in this era crowns were ceremonial items that only appeared on special occasions.
Louis XVI took a few steps forward and looked around the room.
"I've heard some bad rumors!" he said. "Some people ignore the long-standing tradition of the Three Estates Conference and create a National Assembly! This is absolutely unacceptable!"
The king said as he glanced at the side door of the room.
An Ning immediately looked to the side, and there was a small door there. Queen Mary was standing at the door peeping at the situation at the venue.
It's like the head teacher who comes to peek behind the class during evening self-study.
An Ning was speechless, thinking about locksmith, locksmith, you are such a waste, right?
Your grandfather's grandfather, the Sun King, would cry if he knew you were held in the palm of an Austrian bitch.
Louis XVI continued: "I now ask you to stop this practice immediately! Return to the normal procedures of the Estates-General!
"In addition, some people have been occupying this hall, which is wrong! According to the rules, this hall is the place where the three levels of imperial meetings are held together! No one level can occupy this hall alone!
"It is not even allowed to discuss matters here when there is no imperial meeting!
"This is a tradition that has been established since my grandfather's generation! You must abide by the tradition!
"Now, I order you to disband immediately and return to the room assigned to you for the meeting!"
After speaking, Louis XVI nodded to the ceremonial officer.
The ceremonial officer stepped forward and announced: "Your Majesty orders everyone to return to the assigned meeting place immediately for discussion!"
An Ning was shocked. What kind of operation was this? In order to expel the National Assembly that occupied the imperial conference hall, a special imperial meeting was convened?
Then An Ning suddenly remembered that this scene was also a famous scene that left its name in history.
And this was Mirabeau’s highlight moment.
Mirabeau relied on the image he established this time to have a good time for several years. After his death, he was sent to the Pantheon.
Of course, his letter to the queen was later exposed, and everyone discovered that he was actually a secret adviser to the royal family. As a result, his body was moved out of the Pantheon.
Throughout the course of the French Revolution, there were only two people who moved their graves like this. One was Mirabeau, who moved from the Pantheon, and the other was Napoleon Bonaparte, who moved to the Invalides.
After remembering the script, An Ning began to prepare to witness history with great anticipation.
After the ceremonial officer finished speaking, the first to take action were the noble representatives sitting on the right hand side of the representatives of the third estate.
They stood up in twos and threes and began to walk out the door.
Then the cardinals on the left began to move.
The representatives of the National Assembly looked at each other, and no one stood up.
Upon seeing this, the ceremonial officer loudly urged: "Representatives of the third estate, why don't you move? Please get up and leave immediately! This is an order from His Majesty the King!"
An Ning looked at Mirabeau and thought: "It's your turn! Come on, Mirabeau!"
But Mirabeau did not move.
At this time Louis XVI asked: "Third estate! What are you doing? Didn't you hear what I said?"
An Ning is almost dying of anxiety. What a great opportunity. Mirabeau can take the opportunity to reply to His Majesty the King and say his famous line: The French people have chosen us, and no one can make us leave except with bayonets.
!
Move quickly, Mirabeau!
You are not Tie Ao, why don’t you move!
The representatives of the National Assembly continued to look at each other, and everyone, including Mirabeau, was silent.
Dandong was desperately poking An Ning in the waist and whispered: "Come on, do something, Andy!"
——No! I won’t do it! The last time I saw history, it was about to go off the rails, so I had to give it a try, and it ended up being included in the meeting minutes! I became everyone’s leader!
I don’t want to stand out anymore. I want to sit on the fence, not become your leader! You go find Mirabeau!
This is his highlight moment!
But Mirabeau did not stand up.
Didn't he shout very loudly on the tennis court yesterday?
Did he get scared when the king came?
After all, at this time, although everyone was already discussing limiting the royal power, they still maintained a certain respect for the king himself.
After all, the current mainstream thinking is a constitutional monarchy, and everyone still thinks a monarch should be in place.
Louis XVI urged again: "What are you waiting for?"
Perhaps the silence of the members of the National Assembly gave Louis XVI the illusion that "I am good at it."
He became visibly tougher and asked, "Are you going to start a rebellion?"
The people in the National Assembly continued to be silent.
An Ning could see that these people were not mentally prepared to openly oppose the king. After all, their current advocacy was still a constitutional monarchy, and they had not yet reached the point where "Louis must die and the revolution must live."
The appearance of the king caused the course of history to deviate from its original track.
Originally, there was only one time in history when the ceremonial officer asked the delegates to disperse, Mirabeau stood up.
It stands to reason that the general trend of history is fixed, and the process will become different due to some random factors.
This level of change should be normal.
The Great Revolution should still break out after that.
But the problem is, with such a great revolution, An Ning has never read the script. It is very scary to have not read the script in such a turbulent era.
If you stay in Paris from now on, people will be beheaded by guillotine every day in Paris, so I might just donate it myself.
When Run goes to the countryside, he will encounter a royalist rebellion and kill patriots wearing the tricolor emblem everywhere.
If you don’t wear the tricolor emblem, you will be guillotined by the already red-eyed republicans as royalists...
After much deliberation, it is better for history to follow its original path.
In this way, An Ning at least knows when to turn to which position, and achieves a flexible and independent stance. If you can do this, you can stay in Paris. No matter how the royalists rebel, Paris will be stable as the base camp of the revolution.
So An Ning stood up.
Louis XVI thought he was leaving, so he immediately laughed: "Very good, that's it, let's leave!"
An Ning: "Go tell your master! We came here according to the will of the people! Only the power of the bayonet can make us leave!"
Louis XVI was stunned, obviously not mentally prepared to use bayonets to disperse the representatives.
In addition, the guards near the venue, who had been listening to the National Assembly's discussions for so long, had already been converted and ordered the soldiers to use bayonets against the representatives. Who knows when the soldiers will aim their bayonets.
With An Ning taking the lead, Mirabeau also stood up: "That's right! Only bayonets can make us leave!"
The count blushed and looked very excited!
Sieyès also said strangely: "Your Majesty has not changed his old habits."
Louis XVI looked at the angry representatives with trembling lips.
Suddenly, he turned around and ran away!
Mirabeau walked straight out of the area where the representatives were seated, came to the ceremonial officer, pushed him away, and said loudly: "We are here, having a meeting! We will never give up this room until the constitution is formulated and promulgated!"
