Chapter 168 The Queen Teaches the Way of Being a King (Please Subscribe)

Queen Marie hesitated for only half a second before agreeing readily: "You are right, Archbishop Brian. It is time to pardon Viscount Calonne and let him return to Paris."

She had always admired Calonne's ability and was even more satisfied with his loyalty to the royal family. If she had not been forced by the nobles' meeting, she would definitely not have exiled Calonne.

Now that even Brian did not oppose the pardon of Calonne, she was naturally happy to go with the flow.

Brian nodded to Joseph inconspicuously, and then bowed to the queen and said: "Thank you for your kindness, Your Majesty."

"Oh, your broad mind has won my respect even more." Queen Marie also smiled at him, "In a sense, Viscount Calonne is your rival, but for the dignity of the royal family, you have no scruples to suggest that I pardon him."

"Thank you for your praise. It is my duty to be loyal to the royal family."

Brian suddenly felt that he had made a profit. In just half an hour, he had gained two favors from the Crown Prince and the Queen.

The Queen's secretary quickly prepared a pardon in the established format, handed it to the Queen for signature, and then took it to Louis XVI for signature and seal.

Seeing that the matter was settled smoothly, Joseph and Briand took their leave together.

As soon as the two of them walked to the door, Queen Marie suddenly called her son: "Joseph, dear, wait a moment, I remember that I have something to tell you."

Briand bowed to the Dauphin and left the Petit Trianon alone.

Joseph turned back in surprise, put on an innocent look, and asked: "Mother, what do you want to tell me?"

The Queen took him to the small balcony surrounded by white marble fences, squinted at the low setting sun, and said earnestly: "Joseph, you are destined to be a king in the future.

"I always thought you were still young before, so I didn't mention some things to you. But now you have shown amazing talent and are increasingly involved in the management of the country, so I must tell you about how to be a good king. "

"You..." Joseph's eyes widened, thinking, you teach me how to be a king? Are you serious?

Queen Marie glanced at Brian's back downstairs, and said in a rare serious tone: "As a king, the most important thing is to have your own ideas. You can be close to some ministers, but you must not be swayed by their ideas, let alone let them always tell you what to do."

Joseph: "? ? ? "

The queen saw that he looked confused, sighed, and had to make it clearer: "Since you participated in the cabinet affairs, you have been with Brian, and all your views are consistent with his. Even every time he came to me for important things, you would stand by him. "

Joseph's head was full of black lines: Old lady, you are very careful, but the relationship between the primary and the secondary is reversed...

He nodded helplessly: "Ah, yes."

The queen continued: "Although Archbishop Brian is very capable and has rich political experience, you only need to learn from him, but you don't have to listen to him in everything. "

Joseph could only continue to nod: "Yes, yes, you are right!"

Queen Marie was very pleased to see her son's humble attitude, so she taught him more patiently: "For a minister like Brian, you should show the majesty of the crown prince in front of him, for example..."

Joseph didn't know whether to laugh or cry. Brian almost listened to him now, how could he be more majestic?

"Yes, yes, I will remember it. "

Queen Marie seemed to be very excited when she spoke. She talked about the way of being a king until it was completely dark, and there was still no sign of ending.

Joseph was in a hurry to deal with the matter at Calona's side, but he saw that the queen was still talking nonstop and he couldn't even get a word in.

Just when he was extremely anxious, he suddenly saw a lively and petite figure reflected by the street lamp passing by the balcony.

It was Clementine - after the fashion week, Queen Marie asked her niece to spend more time with her, so she left her in the Palace of Versailles. And she naturally wanted it.

Joseph's eyes lit up: I'll use her to "stir up trouble"! So he turned his head and winked desperately downstairs.

Clementine suddenly felt that there was a burning gaze staring at her from somewhere. She turned her head around and caught a glimpse of her cousin's handsome and charming eyes.

"Your Highness the Crown Prince! "She immediately smiled, lifted her skirt, and ran up to the second floor.

With this little live treasure chattering, the queen had to pause the "King's compulsory course" and greeted her niece with a smile.

Joseph took the opportunity to take his leave and left.

The little girl who was just nestling in the queen's arms saw her cousin leave, and immediately flew up like a bird, knelt down and saluted to the queen: "Your Majesty, I remember..."

Queen Mary smiled knowingly and signaled to Joseph with her eyes: "Go quickly, come on!"

Clementine blushed, but immediately turned around and ran away, leaving only one sentence: "Thank you, aunt! "

Joseph came out of the Petit Trianon Palace, thinking about who to send to contact Calonna - Marat was injured, Fouché's identity was not suitable, and it seemed inappropriate for others to get involved in this matter.

He remembered that Mirabeau had said that the Nancy Industrial Development Zone had opened, and his own steam engine factory had also started production. He had always wanted to go and see it, but he never found the time.

As the two cities of Thule and Nancy are within easy reach, it would be better to go to Carona in person, and then take a trip to Nancy to see the results of industrial development there.

Just as he was thinking about it, he heard the sound of small leather boots "tapping" behind him. He turned around and saw his cousin chasing after him excitedly.

"Cousin, what are you going to do?" Little Loli asked with her big watery eyes.

"I..." Joseph said smoothly, "I want to go to Lorraine."

Clementine shouted without even thinking: "I also want to go to Lorraine! Please take me with you!"

"Playing?" Joseph was a little overwhelmed and could only smile, "Lorraine is remote and desolate, there is nothing interesting."

"I want to go there and see..." Little Loli didn't know Lorraine's situation at all, and she glanced at her maid secretly, her eyes twinkling.

The latter was also from Austria. His brain was short-circuited for a moment, and he suddenly remembered that he had heard of a dish called "veal stew with artichokes" in northeastern France. He had the courage to whisper the name of the dish.

Clementine's French was not good, and the maid's voice was too soft, so she could only hear the last word "artichoke", so she felt like she had found a treasure, and excitedly said to her cousin: "Go and see the coal!" Note 1]”

The pronunciation of the two words was very close, so she couldn't blame her.

Joseph's eyes widened: "You... are you going to see the coal? There are quite a few coal mines in Lorraine."

The little Loli realized that she seemed to have said something wrong, but she couldn't stop it, so she could only grit her teeth and nod: "Ah, yes! I especially like coal mines... The wide and deep feeling brings light and heat to people... It makes me feel inexplicable touching.”

[Note 1]: The French word for artichoke is chardon, and the word for coal is charbon, which is quite close...
