Hearing this familiar yet distant name, Liu Zheng felt a little emotional.
When he first traveled to Austria, he used this pseudonym.
He looked at Marshal Victor and sighed. He already guessed in his mind who the other party wanted to take him to see. He knew his alias and was able to persuade Marshal Victor to invite him.
There is and only one!
"Take me there." Liu Zheng exhaled a breath and said slowly.
Marshal Victor turned around and led Liu Zheng through the corridors of the Palace of Versailles that were hung with art.
When he came to a room, Liu Zheng opened the door and was about to go in, but Marshal Victor said: "You seem to have some identity to meet her."
"She is the Archduke of Austria, but she is still my granddaughter."
"She came to see you today and did not attend this meeting. She has already figured out the identity of the Grand Duke without Ollie."
"Although you are Long Yan's chief assistant, I still have to say it even if I risk my life!"
Liu Zheng interrupted Marshal Victor's words and said in a deep voice: "I am following you because I am Liu Sheng."
After hearing this, Marshal Victor said nothing more, turned and left.
After Liu Zheng watched him leave, he pushed the door open and entered the room, only to feel his eyes being stimulated by a strong light.
After this ray of light, Liu Zheng looked at the woman in the room with her back to him.
No fancy gowns, just plain and simple outfits.
But it looked so fresh and beautiful on her body.
Liu Zheng took off his Long Yan official uniform and looked at the sitting woman with a smile on his face.
The other party turned to look over, and the sunlight from the window just fell on her face, making her already beautiful smile even brighter and moving.
"Long time no see Liu Sheng..." She said softly, but her eyes were slightly lowered as if she was considering her words.
The longing that she hadn't seen for a long time flooded into her heart at this moment, and the strong love surged out that could no longer be concealed.
Teresa stood up suddenly, her hands gently slipped down, and the window was closed tightly with the wind.
She threw herself into Liu Zheng's arms and pushed him into the only bed in the room.
Liu Zheng and Theresa looked at each other. Faced with such boldness, he did not react for a while.
Teresa looked into his eyes and said sincerely: "I am willing to give you everything I have, please don't refuse..."
…
At this time, Britain.
After the Paris peace talks ended, British Prime Minister Peter Old rushed to the island of England with the results of the peace talks.
He wanted to go to London as quickly as possible and tell George III the results of the peace talks.
For Britain, this peace negotiation can be said to have reaped all the benefits.
Although factories in many areas were returned to France, they received large tracts of land in the Americas, especially in Canada.
These lands are some of the most important in North America.
Especially Quebec, where the French and Indians traded furs.
At the same time, he also wanted to tell George III that France would join the subsequent expansion of the Panama Canal and obtain permanent passage rights.
This is not good news for them.
This means that the French colonial areas in America on the west coast can quickly sail through the Panama Canal and import resources into their country.
This is not a good thing for them.
But after signing this contract, everyone can see it.
The world situation will undergo new changes in the future.
After George III received the information after the contract was signed, he looked at Old Pitt who was attending the peace talks: "Prime Minister, you have done a good job and won us a large enough colony."
"Our strength can definitely be improved in the future, but this war has consumed too much of our money in Britain."
"Moreover, the war has affected business. The large amount of tea we imported from Longyan is almost moldy in the warehouse."
“This needs to be consumed.”
"There is no way to transfer the cost of this war now."
"Well, there's a lot of money stuff that needs to be dealt with, and it's all top priority."
The two of them had a tacit understanding and did not mention Long Yan's ownership of oil in America.
For the actual benefits gained from this unfamiliar energy, everything is insignificant.
What George III was more concerned about was how to transfer the military expenditures for this war.
If England were to bear it themselves, it would be an astronomical sum, and their treasury would be emptied in an instant.
Now, not only is the mainland short of money, but the colonial areas of North America are also very short of money.
After thinking for a moment, Old Peter said: "Your Majesty, we can sell these tea leaves to the colonies in North America."
"Increase the tax on these teas and label all other imported teas as smuggled products."
"Those tea merchants have to import better-priced tea from us, and the profits are used to pay for the military expenses of North American soldiers."
After hearing this, King George III praised with both hands: "Okay, this is good. Our backlog of tea problems can be solved, and the problem of American military expenditure can also be solved."
"Convene the council immediately and issue the order!"
Old Pete nodded slightly: "Yes."
…
At this time, in France.
The signing of the Treaty of Paris and Louis XV's concessions greatly damaged the interests of the capitalist class that had emerged in France.
Their superficial identities are still civilians, but they already have a lot of money in their hands.
Louis XV's concessions caused the wealthy commoners to lose their interests.
Social unrest in France was intense.
At this time, Louis XV suffered successive blows.
His favorite woman, Madame Pompadour, died of tuberculosis.
Louis XV could not accept this blow, and he once again entered a state of ignoring government affairs, and he signed a concession decree.
It made the people of France even more angry.
However, Louis XV soon recovered from the grief of losing Madame Pompadour.
When he recovered, it was not because of his sense of responsibility as the king of France, but because he found a more suitable mistress.
But this mistress was not only blocked by the ministers and sneered by the common people, but also criticized by the Catholic Church.
The cardinal who stayed in Paris came to the Palace of Versailles and criticized the woman around Louis XV unceremoniously in front of Louis XV:
"Your Majesty, you should not find an unclean person. Her soul has been given to Satan!"
"As the king of France, you should abide by etiquette."
In response to such a statement, Louis XV retorted unceremoniously: "Madame Du Barry is my lover, why does the Holy See say she is an unclean person!"
The cardinal was so angry that he couldn't help but said: "If she is a pure person, what did she do before becoming the wife of the Duke of Richelieu?"
"Your Majesty should know better than me!"
"I'm afraid no one in France knows as well as Your Majesty!"
Louis XV's face was livid, and with a wave of his Catholic faith, he expelled the cardinal. Du Barry's former identity was naturally extremely clear to him.
Madame Dubarry in Louis XV's arms looked at him affectionately and said aggrievedly: "Your Majesty, I just did something in the most difficult time, but they always attack me like this. Your Majesty, this it's all my fault……"
