Chapter 281: The Surprising Journey of Anna Maria Luisa De Medici
Anna Maria Louisa de Medici is the only daughter of the Grand Duke of Tuscany, Cosimo III. Her mother is the eldest daughter of the Duke of Gaston, so she is full of incompetent rage towards the current French king Louis XIV. After all, she has always regarded herself as the princess of the Bourbon family. Since she came to Florence, she has never stopped hysteria for a while, as if anything would cause her screams and rage. Such a wife certainly cannot arouse the love between her husband and mother-in-law. Even though she gave birth to two sons and one daughter for the Grand Duke, the youngest son was even born in 1971, the next year, the Grand Duke of Tuscan applied to Louis XIV to send her wife to the monastery. This situation is not very common in a political marriage equivalent to part of the Covenant, but Louis XIV readily replied to the Grand Duke's request, allowing the Grand Duke to do what he wanted to do.
Cosimo III did not overdo it, Anna's mother was sent to a monastery in Montmartre, France for the rest of her life. The grand duke allowed her to take away her jewelry and entourage, and gave her Florin (Italian gold coins) worth 80,000 livres. With the restless woman, her eldest daughter was also her, who had been engaged to the king's illegitimate son, the Duke of Cologne.
Anna was born in 1967 and was just a child, but with such a mother and such a family, she was destined to be more thoughtful than her peers. She tried her best to help her servants and followers comfort her mother until Montmartre's monastery. She watched the heavy iron door slowly close, and then went to Paris with her wet nurse and guards, and then Versailles.
The reason for this is that Versailles has now become a large hall full of people. Not to mention the Palace of Versailles, even the town of Limoges and Versailles are crowded with officials and nobles. Now there are many wealthy provincial people. They are to see if there is any luck that may be seen by the king, and the second is to see the four schools run by the prince and princess, the Academy of Painting and Sculpture, the Academy of Dance, the Academy of Music, and the Academy of Drama, and the Academy of Drama, and the Academy of Drama, have finally been completed. King Enxun, from the fifty days from Easter to the Advent of the Holy Spirit (it is April to May) that these four colleges will hold exhibitions and performances for all audiences day and night, day and night. After this news came out, thousands of people flocked to Paris every day.
Although it was the Supervisor Academy, Louis XIV did not mean to recreate the new palace. These four colleges were ancient buildings personally selected by the king. They once belonged to the Prime Minister, Bishop, General and Duke. They were prominent for a while, but now almost no one mentioned their names. Their mansions occupy a vast area like palaces. Because of their sturdy and magnificent nature, like the Richelieu houses before, even after two catapults riots, they were not damaged much, but to the current Parisians, they were like tasteless and useless chicken ribs.
Remember the first job the Duke of Orleans did for the king. The king rebuilt almost half of Paris for the king. These buildings with uniform specifications and similar colors stand on both sides of the streets, like well-trained soldiers, which amazed those who came to Paris for the first time or after reconstruction. The benefits they felt were not only that—these new buildings all had water and water systems.
So, what should we use to count? The prince said that there is the most reliable thing - money.
The jingling Lead (copper), Eju (silver) and Gold Louis, the audience can certainly watch all exhibitions and performances for free, but if they think there is an artist worthy of appreciation, they can throw money into the box next to them to express their appreciation.
As we all know, people may be generous with their words and time, but they will definitely be very cautious about the coins in their hands. The person who can receive the most rewards must be the artist who is most admired. Of course, he can get the highest honor, and others can also estimate each other based on the amount of money they receive.
This practice also aroused the disgust of some artists, but Louis Little was correct. Louis XIV was not very interested in art. He just wanted to return to the crown of the Center for Economic and Art after taking away the position of Paris's political center. After all, Paris is the capital of France. Perhaps countless shining stars will be born in these four academies in the future, but now they are just the king's mouthpiece.
If a good horse is unwilling to put on the bridle, it is useless no matter how strong it is. A painter, singer or actor who is unwilling to bow to the king is worthless, no, or, in other words, it will cause trouble. Count D'Artagnan cruelly and ruthlessly drove all the artists who refused to obey orders out of Paris, and other places in France may not have their place - the people who stayed are of course obedient.
