"Thank you for your kindness, but I can handle it."

Justice Maupe did not show any surprise, but looked at the Duke of Richelieu proudly.

This feeling of being calculated made Duke Choiseul very uncomfortable, but he still didn't know what Justice Maupe was doing and why he deliberately proposed a plan that would definitely be rejected by him.

Next to him, Lawrence looked at Justice Maupp without saying a word. Although he had vaguely guessed the other party's intention, there was no way to counter Justice Maupp at this moment.

After a few seconds of silence, Justice Maupe suddenly looked at King Louis and said sincerely:

"Your Majesty, although I believe that the Duke of Choiseul can handle these affairs with his ability, his burden is indeed too heavy, especially if he wants to go to Dijon on my behalf, many things will be delayed, such as

..."

"For example?" Louis XV asked with a frown.

Justice Maupp cleared his throat twice, glanced at Lawrence thoughtfully, and said in a deep voice:

"For example, the treaty being negotiated between His Excellency the Duke and Governor Bonaparte will be delayed."

"You..." Duke Choiseul finally realized that Justice Maupe's purpose was not to go to the High Court of Dijon.

Once the Duke of Choiseul took over the matters of inspecting Burgundy and appointing judges of the High Court of Dijon, his negotiations with Lawrence would inevitably be suspended, at least during his absence.

King Louis naturally did not want to see this happen.

"Well...that's true."

Louis XV rubbed the corners of his mouth, showing a faint smile. He didn't know what he was thinking, and then said:

"I don't want this matter to be delayed for too long. I believe Governor Bonaparte thinks so too, right?"

Lawrence nodded expressionlessly and said: "Of course, Your Majesty."

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Both Justice Maupp and the Duke of Richelieu could not help but show a hint of success, and Justice Maupp then said:

"If necessary, I will be happy to share this part of the affairs for the Duke of Choiseul. As a chancellor, I consider myself to be as good as the Duke of Choiseul in the compilation of legal treaties."

King Louis also smiled, obviously siding with Justice Maupe, and said:

"Of course, of course, your ability is obvious to all. So Choiseul, what do you think? Leave the negotiation of the treaty with Governor Bonaparte to Justice Maupp."

The Duke of Choiseul couldn't help biting his lip. King Louis obviously gave himself only two choices, either acquiescing to Justice Maupp to insert his hand into the High Court, or transferring the matter of negotiating a treaty with Lawrence

give him.

Seeing that Duke Choiseul was still hesitating, Justice Maupp mocked:

"What's wrong, Your Majesty the Duke? It's not your exclusive right to negotiate with the Governor of Corsica, right?"

Duke Choiseul glanced at Justice Maupe coldly, then sighed softly and said to Lawrence:

"Sorry, Governor Bonaparte, the High Court is an ally I cannot afford to lose."

"I can understand." Lawrence nodded without surprise.

Duke Choiseul took a deep breath, nodded to King Louis and said:

"I understand, Your Majesty, I will send someone to connect the existing consultation process with Justice Mopu."

"very good."

Louis XV's face was full of satisfaction, and he said happily.

The faces of Duke Richelieu and Justice Maupp were also full of smiles, and they regarded this confrontation as a great victory in the struggle between the two factions.

Not only did they completely cut off the possibility of Duke Choiseul using the Corsica surrender incident to increase the king's trust, they also took Lawrence, a rising political star, into their own hands.

Now that they have taken over the negotiations with Lawrence, the two of them take it for granted that they have Lawrence's fate in their hands.

As the person involved, Lawrence sat there without saying a word, as if their confrontation had nothing to do with him.

"Louis XV... It seems that the king who has been on the throne for fifty-five years must not be an idiot. This abacus is really good..."

Lawrence glanced at the smiling Louis XV and slowly said to himself.
