Jiang Xuan took out a food box, two pairs of bowls and chopsticks, three side dishes, a roast chicken, two bowls of rice, and a pot of old wine.

He said slowly: "Although I indirectly pushed for the revolution in France."

"But if you don't leave a legacy behind, who can dismantle France from within?"

Louis XVI fell silent. When he took over France, the situation was worse than now. It was not that he had done nothing.

During his time in power, he initiated France's economic reforms.

But every time it was in vain.

Louis XVI finally agreed with Jiang Xuan's point of view, nodded and said: "Indeed, it is my incompetence to reach this point, and it is my own fault."

"So, Your Majesty, don't feel sorry for yourself. Everything will be over after tomorrow."

After hearing this, Louis XVI suddenly laughed.

"It will all be over tomorrow."

"Everything will be solved tomorrow, hahaha..."

"Jiang Xuan, you are right."

Jiang Xuan poured a glass of wine for him and the queen, picked up the glass and said, "Drink!"

"The queen is also here to taste our Long Yan's Yinzhou drunkenness!"

The queen glanced at Louis XVI, who nodded in acquiescence, and they both picked up the wine glasses.

"Come, let me toast you!"

Jiang Xuan drank the wine in one gulp, looking like a heroic hero.

Louis XVI and his queen, Antoinette, had never been so unrestrained, but tonight they put aside all reserve.

He even imitated Jiang Xuan in drinking.

The three of them party until dawn.

The exhausted queen had already fallen asleep, while Louis XVI and Jiang Xuan were holding each other's arms, with no trace of any enmity between the two.

Louis XVI laughed at himself: "One vote away, just one vote away, and I can live!"

"Hey, you can't say that. Even if you are just one vote away, those people in the National Assembly don't want you to be alive."

"That's good, it's very satisfying for a while. It's inevitable that you'll suffer the consequences alive!" Jiang Xuan said drunkenly with his face red from drinking.

Louis XVI slapped his thigh and said with a smile: "You are right, I am not bad, let's just talk about my wife, she was married from Austria and has never suffered a single day of hardship."

"If she is really exiled or imprisoned, I'm afraid she will go crazy in a place like this!"

"She doesn't even understand bread and cakes. She even naively said why she couldn't eat bread, so why not eat cakes? Such stupid things."

"Hey, I also know that they are mocking me as a cowardly monarch behind my back. Don't worry, I will let them see my other side!"

"Jiang Xuan, I promise you that I will maintain the dignity of a monarch when I die!"

Louis XVI looked at Jiang Xuan seriously, and Jiang Xuan nodded solemnly.

The two suddenly laughed.



Not long after, soldiers and priests came to the cell.

"Louis XVI, Antoinette, your time has come!"

Louis XVI, who had sobered up, looked at the cell and saw that Jiang Xuan had left. He touched the suicide note he had long written on his body and expressed regret that he had forgotten to give it to Jiang Xuan.

He looked at the soldier and asked: "I wrote a suicide note..."

Before he finished speaking, he was ruthlessly interrupted by the priest.

"I am only responsible for taking you to the guillotine."

Louis XVI understood, but it didn't matter.

He put away his suicide note and followed the guards and priests to leave before the queen. When he left, he said to the queen who was still sleeping: "In the next life, marry an ordinary person who can give you happiness."

He and Antoinette were in a political marriage with no emotional basis, and they lived a very unhappy life.

Louis XVI was taken away, and he walked on the road to the guillotine, facing death without crying or depression.

He even held his head high like the king of France.

He looked at the triangular guillotine emitting cold light on the guillotine, which he had designed himself to ease the pain of the prisoner's execution.

Dying under your own guillotine can be considered an experiment...

Louis XVI said mockingly.

The priest next to him asked him: "Is there anything else you want to say?"

Louis XVI looked at the crowd, mustered up his strength, struggled away and shouted loudly: "I am not guilty. Although I must die, I hope that after my blood is spilled on the land of France, there will never be any more blood!"

The priest's expression changed and he quickly ordered: "Drummer!"

The drums sounded in unison, and the sound wave overwhelmed Louis XVI's voice, and amid the sound of drums, Louis XVI was carried to the guillotine by the guards.

Louis XVI looked at the guillotine calmly and calmly, falling from the air, without even blinking!

soon!

He watched the scenery around him swirl, blur, become filled with darkness...

After that he knew nothing about anything.

Soon after, his queen, a princess who had lived in the palace since childhood, was also executed.

Before she died, when she walked to the guillotine, her high heels accidentally stepped on the hands of the soldier who brought her to the guillotine, but the soldier still apologized politely: "I'm sorry, I didn't mean it, Mr. Soldier."

The citizens who heard this sentence were still reveling in the execution of the largest old noble for them, but this sentence was like a bucket of cold water poured on their eager hearts.

Louis XVI was certain to die as King of France.

But why did this innocent queen, with her extremely high education, have to die with Louis XVI?

The answer to this question is obvious, but no one will say it.

Jiang Xuan witnessed the entire process of Louis XVI's death. He didn't know what kind of emotions he should use to face all this happening.

Until I looked at the people who were still reveling, I realized that this was a carnival that belonged to the French.

It is also the victorious progress of a revolution...

Jiang Xuan couldn't judge what was right and what was wrong, because it was gray between black and white.

He turned and left. He just wanted to drink some wine today and calm down...

At this time, Europe!

News that the French had executed their king, Louis XVI, quickly spread throughout Europe!

For a time, every king in Europe was in danger!

This shocked them even more than the colonists founding a country in America!

France has a history of thousands of years as a kingdom, and now it is actually overthrown by their people. This makes them start to think, what if such turmoil occurs in their country?

Will they become the second Louis XVI!

After all, this French revolution is not like any uprising or revolution!

He is not Long Yan and Britain's constitutional monarchy reform, but outright opposed to the monarchy!

It was against them that these kings used the fundamental laws that had ruled the country for thousands of years.

What should they do if such a situation happens in their own country? This is what frightens them the most.

What would become of them if all this happened!

They dare not think!
