Another thing that deserves Louis' attention is Britain, but not Charles II, the pathetic cousin is still in Flander, living in pain as a king without a country and subjects - he is not unwilling to return to France, but because the current situation in France will not allow him to get more support, he feels that as long as his mother, Queen Mother Mary and her sister, Princess Henrietta, can stay in Paris calmly and securely, it is not a good thing.

Bishop Mazaran knew that Charles II still held a glimmer of hope. Perhaps such hope would continue until the king's marriage was truly determined. However, Henrietta was always the last one by him and Queen Mother Anne. Even after the Duchess of Monponsier, there was no other reason, just because... First of all, her father not only lost his crown, but also his head. Her brother seemed intelligent but actually stupid. Louis gave him a valuable gift to be the king, but he was still expelled from his country by those rebels and thugs. Perhaps there would be one day (as Louis affirmed) that Charles II could return to England and take over the holy ball and scepter, but no one knew when that would be.

The king's marriage cannot be delayed.

There is another very funny thing to say. Bishop Mazaran's quill pen beats on parchment, and there are some ministers. He said that those idiots who may have accepted bribes actually proposed that the king should marry the Protector of the British Republic - perhaps some people don't know what the "English Republic" is. To put it simply, it is the smelly thing made by a group of madmen who ignore the power of the king and the divine power. After executing their king Charles I, they decided to abolish the monarchy and the House of Lords. The House of Commons became the supreme legislative body, and the executive power was handed over to the members of the MPs elected by the House of Commons, and the biggest, shameless rebellion, Oliver Cromwell, naturally became the first president of the State Council.

What's ridiculous is that in just three years, Oliver Cromwell instructed his party members to elect him as the Duke of the National Guardian - Duke of the National Guardian. What an ironic term. According to the formulated "Government Constitution", Cromwell could serve as Duke of the National Guardian for life, and also commander of the British Army and Navy, in charge of taxation, govern the police and justice, govern diplomacy, and appoint his own heirs, and even share legislative power, executive power with Parliament and the House of Commons, plus the previous military power, no wonder some people say that he is more king than a king.

Although at first Oliver Cromwell was completely like a humble, kind, and dedicated saint. Although he had not publicly declared his faith, his life was indeed infinitely close to a Puritan. He hated pleasure, did not like luxury, lived a simple life, and cared for the people - at least 1650 years ago, but after being named Duke of the Kingdom, he transferred his residence to the king's palace.

This statement may be somewhat unfair to Cromwell, because in fact, he only lived in a house behind Whitehall Palace (the main residence of the King of England since 1530). It was once a huge cockfighting hall, but later it was transformed into a theater and a concert hall by James I. It was then the residence of the guardians of Whitehall Palace, and was once lived by princes and princesses. Cromwell chose this place just to handle government affairs more conveniently, but his political enemies would not care about this.

Perhaps Cromwell would not care, even though he did not really move into the palace, the ceremony he held when he was appointed Duke of Guardian was not inferior to a grand coronation ceremony. His generals called him His Highness, and his advisers called him His Majesty. According to his agreement with the Congress, he should accept the inquiries from the Council every two years, and he should also deliberate instead of ordering the Council what to do. But when this situation inevitably happened, Cromwell rebuked the members like a tyrant, claiming that he was speaking on behalf of God. If anyone was unwilling to obey his will, he was blaspheming the Holy Spirit and betraying his faith.

Bishop Mazaran made a bet with Louis - Bishop Mazaran believed that Cromwell would dissolve the parliament within five years, while the king believed that in just three years, Cromwell would be unable to bear the point of others' fingers at him and decided to dissolve the parliament.

The Bishop was very curious about this. Of course, given the current situation in France, he would inevitably think of the problems that he and the young king would face.

"You know that Oliver Cromwell is planning to rezonify Britain." Louis said: "Eleven districts, each district will rule a general whom he trusts, and his army will monitor everyone." The king sighed and said: "Look, Mr. Bishop, how extravagant! Eleven generals, and the army that can cover the entire country. A man like this, a man who is more powerful and powerful than the king, would he surrender to those who can only pick up quills and rolls of parchment, and be better at dancing tongues than wielding guns and swords?"

"It is indeed very likely to be thought of this." said the Bishop: "But why three years, not five?"

"Because of the biennial parliamentary inquiry," the king crossed his hands: "The parliament has executed a king and expelled a king, and would not want to see another king or a better person. They will definitely try to suppress Cromwell's power to further expand and extend. Then the biennial inquiry is the best time to attack Oliver Cromwell. The last inquiry they parted in disagreement, and then the inquiry will only become more sinister in two years. By then, if Cromwell still does nothing, it will be the turn of the council to do something, but this person," the king shook his head, "is not a good old man who can endure."

Even if he was, the power he had in his hands for more than ten years was enough to make Oliver Cromwell completely lose the heart of an ordinary person.

"Oh," said the Bishop, "I really want those ministers to come and hear it."

"What?"

"Damn they are trying to get you to marry Oliver Cromwell's granddaughter."

The king raised his hand: "Wait, I remember Oliver Cromwell was in his prime."

"It is true, but his only son, Richard Cromwell, is twenty-six years old, and his Majesty, he already has a daughter, two years old this year."

"Is my marriage not as good as the age of twelve?" Louis couldn't help but say, "It's either twelve years older or twelve years younger." He glanced at the Bishop: "And it's also the daughter of a Protestant."

“It doesn’t matter.”

Bishop Mazaran said with a normal face: "For inheritance or something, it is very common for the kings to change their faith. I can send a priest to convert her to Catholicism."

Louis couldn't tell whether the Bishop was joking... or serious...

"I will not let Cromwell's granddaughter be my wife," he said seriously. "As I said, Mr. Bishop, I will never admit the legitimacy of Oliver Cromwell, whether it is the Duke of the Kingdom, or the King, to me, or to any monarch, he can only be a traitor."

Bishop Mazaran smiled: "This is exactly what I want to say." He said, "Your Majesty, it's a pity that there are always people who can't see clearly."

"It's normal," Louis said, "he's at the top."

"You don't seem to be optimistic about him at all."

"From nowhere, he has nothing worthy of my favor," said Louis: "I think you understand the most. His crown is given by the people and will definitely be taken away by the people."

"I think you value the people."

"I value it, but I don't like it, because I know what kind of existence they are," said Louis. "Nothing can be wiser than them, nor can it be foolish than them. They are extremely powerful and loose as sand. They sent a carpenter's son to the supreme throne, saying, "This is our God, and he betrayed him for thirty silver coins. Seeing him crucified, I may love them and teach them, but I will never believe them."

"What a bad and correct idea," Bishop Mazaran muttered, "Then it seems I should reject them."
