Chapter 470 Sun King

As we all know, Louis XIV, with his great talent, civil and military achievements, made the Kingdom of France the most powerful country in Europe at that time, and made himself one of the greatest monarchs in French history and the longest ruler in world history. He was the Western emperor of the same era as Kangxi, and was respectfully called the Sun King by people at that time.

During the fifty-four years of Louis XIV's rule, the king's power was developed to its peak.

Politically, he advocated the supremacy of royal power, "I am the country", and Louis XIV concentrated all power in his own hands. He also used the "divine authority of the monarch" to create a theoretical basis for the supremacy of royal power.

Absolute royal rule, typical of which is the divine right of the monarch, is a political strategy and the only way to save France from the three major problems of destructive local separatism, corruption of senior officials and incompetence of the monarch. Louis XIV implemented a high-pressure policy on the nobles, abolished the right to criticize the king's edict by the Paris High Court, and refused to convene a third-level meeting of the Kingdom.

The construction of the Palace of Versailles was one of the strategies for Louis XIV to concentrate political power. Louis XIV completed the efforts of Richelieu and Mazaran to establish a centralized, authoritarian nation-state. He turned the nobles into members of his court, removed their rights as local officials, and thus weakened the nobles' power. For this reason, he built the Palace of Versailles.

On May 6, 1682, he moved into this huge palace on the outskirts of Paris. The rules of the palace forced the nobles to pay huge sums of money for clothing, and they had to stay in the palace from morning to night to attend dances, banquets and other celebrations, which was part of the palace life.

It is said that Louis XIV has a stunning memory. He entered a hall and could see who was present and who was absent at first sight. Therefore, every noble who hoped to be favored by the king must be present every day. These nobles loved France, so that they had no time to manage the problem of the local area, and gradually they lost their power to the local area.

During his lifetime, Louis XIV expanded France's territory and made it the strongest country in Europe at that time. But at the same time, France was heavily in debt and the French people's lives were poor.

During his reign, France launched three major wars: the War of Legacy, the French-Dutch War and the Grand Alliance War, and two small-scale conflicts that made him become the overlord of Western Europe in 1680.

The last two major battles fought against the three-strong alliance between the Dutch and Britain and Austria. The war between the Grand Alliance was reconciled because both sides were tired of war. The Spanish throne inherited the throne was finally inherited by the French prince, but the burden of the war caused the great image and super high popularity he created himself to lose in his later years.

After hearing Xingzai's explanation, the audience in the live broadcast room also learned about what kind of person this Sun King was.

Xingzai also said: "Louis XIV can be said to be a very powerful monarch, but he is not a wise monarch!"

Because you have to fight and enjoy yourself, the magnificent building of the Palace of Versailles is full of artistic charm. More than 500 halls and halls are magnificent and luxurious. The interior decoration is mainly carved with huge oil paintings and tapestries, and is equipped with furniture with superb shapes and exquisite craftsmanship in the 1718th century.

The palace also houses precious artworks from all over the world, including ancient Chinese porcelain that travels across the ocean. In addition to decorating the interior with portraits, animals such as lions, eagles, and unicorns are also used to decorate the interior.

Some are also made of metal to make stair railings, and some metal accessories are also gold-plated, and they are matched with various colors of marble, which makes them look very brilliant. In addition to semicircular arches like the mirror hall, the ceiling is also flat and has semispherical domes. In addition to paintings, there are also reliefs on the top.

After listening to the live broadcast room, the audience thought to themselves that the first box actually contained precious things here, what kind of things would be in the remaining box?

This makes people very curious. What Xingzai said proves that this golden scepter is genuine. If this is the case, will the Frenchman probably spend a lot of money to sell this thing back then?

I wonder if the island owner will sell this thing. If it is not sold, it will be a good thing to put it in the museum on Sand Heart Island for exhibition. After all, if this is the case, then those French people will only come to our country if they want to see their national treasures, just like we have to go abroad to see their national treasures!

This incident can be said to be very sad! When I think of the fact that so many cultural relics are lost in my country, but the people in my country are powerless!

If the island owner doesn’t sell it, then the French can also try this taste!

If this is the case, it will probably be very interesting!

Xiao Hai has been paying attention to the live broadcast! But he didn’t expect Xingzai’s luck to be so good. The harvest from these salvages is very rich!

Almost every time you salvage, you can salvage national treasure-level cultural relics! In this way, there will be more and more collections in the museums on your island.

Anyway, I don’t lack money. If I can agree to my request, I can also trade with foreigners and let them exchange things plundered from our country.

This is already very cheap for them.

But if this request is probably not acceptable, no country will agree! Otherwise, it would not be until now. Japan has not agreed to its request yet!

But if you don’t agree, it doesn’t matter. Just place it in the museum for exhibition!

Xingzai said at this time: "It seems that the harvest this time is far more than I imagined! Even this golden scepter alone is worth at least 100 million US dollars! But I am also very curious now, what exactly is the remaining box containing it!"

The audience in the live broadcast room were also very shocked when they heard this! Unexpectedly, such a scepter was worth at least 100 million US dollars! If it were converted, wouldn’t it cost almost 700 million RMB!

Why is this also gold, but why is the gap so big!

It’s like the value of the 3,000 kilograms of gold just now is about 400 million or 500 million! But this is 3,000 kilograms! But if this golden scepter is added up, I don’t even know if it has ten kilograms!

But the value is far beyond the price of gold!

If this golden scepter was taken out for auction, it would probably be impossible for this price to go even further.

After all, there are so many rich foreigners, and the historical value of this golden scepter is so high, so there are probably many people who will fight for it!
