Chapter 810

    After the king and queen decided to exile the rioters with an unprecedented iron fist, a bloody storm inevitably blew up in Warsaw.


    In three days, 27 nobles were exiled, 11 were deprived of their titles, and 3 were confiscated.


    Although all the 41 people who were punished were middle and small nobles, and the total amount of their confiscated family property was very small. But it sent a clear signal that the king and queen would not tolerate those who did not obey the king''s orders and obstructed reform.


    For a time, the vicheniewitzki, zaswavsky, kalinovsky and konetspolsky stopped their efforts one after another. They either thanked the guests behind closed doors or publicized their position in support of reform in public.


    But the king and queen knew very well that these great nobles did not really admit defeat or change their positions. They are only temporarily dormant, waiting for the opportunity to fight back.


    At the beginning of June, Stefan charnietsky''s general army led troops into Warsaw and took over the defense.


    For a time, the aristocrats of the old school were even more frightened.


    One day in mid June, in a secluded Manor on the outskirts of Warsaw, Andrei konetspolsky was invited by Princess Jiali saidai to participate in a hunting.


    Andrei konetspolsky is the head of the konetspolsky family among the vichinevsky, zasvavsky, kalinovsky and konetspolsky denounced by King Jan kachmidge.


    Andrei konetpolsky''s father was Stanislaw konetpolsky, marshal of the Republic. He is not only one of the most famous military commanders of the Republic, but also a famous militarist in European history. When he was alive, the marshal not only suppressed many Cossack rebellions, but also repulsed and defeated the Tatars and Swedes'' attacks on the Republic of Poland. Also because of his outstanding achievements, the konetspolsky family has become the most dazzling giants and dignitaries in the Republic. At its peak, Stanislaw konetspolsky alone had 160 towns, with an annual income of more than 500000 tales. Stanislaw konetspolsky built a palace in Ukraine, and more than 100000 people served the family.


    After Stanislaw konetspolsky died of excessive Lust (after his wife Kristina died, Stanislaw konetspolsky, 56, married Sophia opalinska, 16, on January 16, 1646, and then died suddenly in March of that year for taking an overdose of aphrodisiacs), Andrei konetspolsky inherited everything from his father.


    Andrei did not have his father''s talent, but he was fond of running the family industry and seizing power. Of course, he also became one of the representatives of the old school.


    Stanislaw konetspolsky participated in the last demonstration. He not only provided financial support for the troubled nobles, but also sent a number of family members to participate in it.


    After King Jan kazimiz suppressed the downstream demonstrations with an iron fist, Andrei konetspolsky still went his own way. He openly declared his support for the political position of the exiles and sent servants to serve the exiled nobles to the southern border of the Republic. Therefore, he also became a thorn in the flesh of King Jan kazimiz. After Stefan charnietsky led his army into Warsaw, Andrei konetspolsky was dismissed from all his posts by the king and only allowed him to hold a virtual title in Parliament.


    When he arrived at his destination, Andrei konetspolsky, who stepped out of the carriage, saw a dilapidated manor in front of him. The manor has obviously been deserted for some years. The stone walls were covered with moss, and several big holes leaked from the top of the house.


    Andrey konetspolsky frowned. Obviously, he was very dissatisfied with the organizer''s invitation to him here.


    The housekeeper who stooped to one side saw the master frown. He hurriedly took down a roll of red carpet from the attached carriage and paved it from the foot of Andrei konetspolsky to the front of the manor.


    Andrei konetspolsky stepped out. He came to the manor door with a gold cane and pushed the door in.


    A damp smell came to his face, and Andrei konetspolsky couldn''t help covering his mouth and nose.


    Before he could get used to the air inside, an old voice came from the corner on his left.


    "Andrey konetspolsky, I didn''t expect you to come."


    The speaker was Adam zaswavsky. He has reached the age of 90. He is the oldest of the zaswavsky family and a former royal hunting official.


    When Andrei konetspolsky saw the man who was nearly 100 years old, he hurried to hold the old man''s hand.


    "Old man, I didn''t expect you to be here," he said affectionately.


    Adam zaswavsky squeezed out a smile on his old face like a withered chrysanthemum.


    "Princess Carrie saidai invited me. Of course I''m coming."


    A servant of the vicheniewitzki family came to take Andrei konetspolsky''s cloak and walking stick, and then led them towards the back of the manor.


    When he arrived in the backyard, Andrei konetspolsky saw kalinovsky, lantzkoronsky and some other great nobles already sitting on the large dining table on the lawn of the backyard, while Princess Jiali saidai danced among the nobles.


    Andrei konetspolsky sat down beside ranzkoronsky holding Adam zasvowski. Princess Carrie saidai came to greet them when she saw them coming.


    "Gentlemen, it''s a great honor for you to condescend to come."


    Adam zaswavsky, the old chrysanthemum, laughed again.


    "Princess, you can''t come at the invitation of others. I must come at your invitation. However,"


    Andrey konetspolsky did not give the princess a good face.


    After looking left and right, Andrei konetspolsky said, "I''m afraid there''s no other prey here for us to hunt except people."


    Princess Carrie Sade was indifferent to Andrey''s indifference. He smiled and replied, "this is just a place for you to rest. After lunch, we''ll go to the hunting ground together."


    After greeting Andrzej konetspolsky, the princess went to greet the other guests.


    Andrei konetspolsky was much younger than Adam zaswavsky. After drinking a few glasses of honey wine, he stood up and walked to the other nobles.


    He heard a short aristocrat from the patch family say to the aristocrats sitting around him, "levying taxes without the consent of Parliament is another hard evidence of Jan kazimizh''s destruction of the Republic. We should appeal to the aristocrats all over the country and call on everyone to unite to overthrow the tyrant."


    Before the Sir Alex''s words were answered, Andrei konetspolsky sneered.


    "After a while."


    Everyone looked at Andrey konetspolsky, and the SIR of the patch family jumped up like a dueling cock.


    "What are you talking about?"


    "I say after the horse," Andrei konetspolsky said again. "If you are really so brave, it''s up to your pachi family to start. You take the lead. When you defeat Stefan charnietsky, we will follow up and eradicate the tyrant immediately."


    Andrei konetspolsky spoke without scruples because he found that all the people invited today were aristocrats dissatisfied with the king''s reform, that is, the so-called conservatives. So he was not worried that his words would reach the ears of Jan kazimiz and Ludvika.


    On hearing the name of Stefan charnietsky, the SIR of the patch family who had just spoken fern words dropped his head.


    To ask him to fight Stefan charnietsky, he would not dare to give him a hundred more courage.


    Seeing that the other party was silent, Andrei konetspolsky shook the next glass of wine and was ready to leave.


    He disdains to be with these guys who can only talk.


    But the other party once again felt the silent insult of Andrei konetspolsky. His blood surged up and shouted, "I dare not, do you dare Andrei konetspolsky!"


    Andrey konetspolsky gave Sir patch a fierce look and put his hand on the handle of the knife.


    At this time, Princess Carrie saidai came for information.


    She played for the Duke of the patch family.


    "Well, my dear andrzey. Sir patch is just a slip of tongue after drinking. Why do you take it seriously? If everyone is in the same hall as the general Stefan, how can they fight against each other."


    Andrei konetspolsky gave Princess Carrie seday face and stopped pestering Sir patch.


    After a while, a bell rang.


    Then, a group of boys led hunting horses and hounds to the backyard. Princess Carrie saidai asked everyone to get on the horse and go hunting.


    On the way, Andrei konetspolsky deliberately observed Princess garisade.


    Previously, Andrei konetspolsky accepted Princess jialiseide''s invitation only because he couldn''t lose face, but here he found a secret, that is, all the people invited by the princess today are hardcore conservative figures. This is extraordinary. Because just over half a month ago, her son mihau vishnevsky broke away from marshal lubomatsky and sought a position with King Jan kachmidge.


    "Could it be..." thought andrzey konetspolsky.


    On the way, Andrei konetspolsky couldn''t restrain his doubts. He approached Princess Jiali saidai and asked bluntly, "can I think, princess, you are one heart with us?"


    Princess Carrie said with a charming smile. She whispered to Andrey: "My dear andrzei, I swear to God that my heart is the same as yours. We all have a sacred belief, and we have a common enemy. This enemy is unprecedentedly powerful. Therefore, each of us should unite and work together in the same boat, honor and honor. Only in this way can we live up to the noble blood flowing in our blood. Although Sir patch was timid just now, he did dislike the king and queen. Stefan charnietsky is the biggest obstacle to our maintenance of gold freedom. Only the great marshal dlubomatsky can eradicate this obstacle. Unfortunately, he is deeply involved in the battlefield of Ukraine because of Jan kachmidge''s plot. "


    Andrey konetspolsky understood that the princess was the Marshal''s man.


    He was very excited.


    "Does the marshal have a place to get me?"


    Princess Carrie saidai saw that Andrei konetspolsky was so positive that she knew that he could be entrusted as expected by the marshal. So she continued: "Of course. Marshal, I hope you can find a reason to return to the territory. The territory of the konetspolsky family is near the pototsky family. You can monitor Stanislaw pototsky nearby. He is the most important adviser of Jan kazimiz. Monitor him and control him if necessary, and we will break Jan kazimiz''s arm. At the same time, you Then secretly train the army in the family in case of need. "


    Andrei konetspolsky clenched his fists with excitement.


    "There''s no problem at all," he said


    Princess Jiali saidai added: "although my son is working for the king, he is just to break into the enemy''s internal intelligence, and his heart is always with us."


    "I misunderstood the princess and the prince," Andrei konetspolsky sincerely apologized.


    Princess Jiali saidai accepted Andrei konetspolsky''s apology. She knew she was right to become lubaomatsky''s spokesman in Warsaw, because she felt Andrei konetspolsky''s unprecedented respect for herself, which she could no longer get out of compassion after her husband-in-law''s death.


    Putting mihau next to the king, as she said to Andrei konetpolsky, was a pawn to break into the reformists; but on the contrary, it was also an investment by the princess in the reformers.


    In this way, whether the Conservatives of lubaomatsky or the reformists of King Jan kazimiz win, their mother and son will be the winners.
