D'Eon's full name is Charles Zine, Viva Luis Andrei, Dimodi D'Eon de Beaumont. He was born in the lowest aristocratic family in donnelly.
D'Eon is an excellent student at school. While other students are still learning Latin alphabet, he is already learning Latin law. He was only a child, but he got a doctorate in law. One of his papers on French finance shocked the French academic community.
D'Eon is short, with long eyelashes and handsome face, like a girl, but he is an excellent swordsman. In his hometown, his classmates elected him as the captain of the fencing school.
1750, D'Eon came to Paris with great ambition. At that time, French King Louis XV was discussing D'Eon's famous papers with his ministers. The French king said to the minister, "This D'Eon seems very clever. We should use people as smart as the Minister of Finance. " "The minister nodded. At that time, the French treasury was in debt for years, and the days were getting worse and worse. So, D'Eon was called into the palace.
The king of France looked at him with amazement. Is this innocent young man with a young face like a girl actually a famous doctor of law and financial expert? This is beyond his imagination.
Yes
However, after a few minutes of conversation, it turns out that D'Eon is not an idle person. The king of France was surprised.
Louis XV suddenly felt that it was too much for him to let such an outstanding talent as D'Eon stay in the Ministry of Finance to manage finance and economics. He wants to give him a more important position. The French king resigned his minister and said to D'Eon alone, "I want you to complete an extremely important secret task for France."
It turned out that at that time, the French king found an amazing news: his old enemy King George II was preparing to form an alliance with Russia, which would make Britain stronger and become a great threat to France.
The French king stepped back and said to D'Eon, "You must go to Russia and talk to Czar Elizabeth alone. The Russians can't know that you are my special envoy. When you have a chance to meet the czar alone, give her a letter I wrote. "
In addition, the king of France gave D'Eon a password, and asked him to try to give it to the female czar for secret communication between Russia and France.
Shortly after being disguised as a woman, a carriage left Paris, and a few days later, it has arrived in the German city of anhalt.
When the carriage entered anhalt City, a charming girl got off the carriage: "Miss Mia de Beaumont". No one will think that "she" is D'Eon.
With him is an elderly Frenchman, Byron Douglas from Sweden. He claims to be Miss Mia's uncle, but in fact he is D'Eon's reliable assistant. Douglas went around saying that he was a leather and mining businessman. If asked, he explained, "I hope to visit some Bohemian mines before going home, and maybe even see the huge leather market in Russia, but my trip is entirely for health reasons." He coughed for a while.
They stole the show, waved goodbye and walked north.
They always carry two things. One is the studded tortoise shell snuff bottle that Douglas carefully put in his pocket, and the other is the little book that Miss Mia takes with her everywhere. This snuff bottle has a secret compartment, which contains the communication code, while the sheepskin cover of that little book contains a personal letter from Louis XV to the female czar.
After a long journey through the Senecio Plain, they finally reached St. Petersburg, the Russian capital.
St Petersburg is full of foreign spies. Professional and amateur aristocrats who had fun at the dance were also collecting information. Russian Prime Minister Peter Rochev knew there were many spies, but he didn't arrest all of them. Instead, he set up a Russian spy organization to closely monitor all foreigners and deny them access to the female czar. He even set up spies in the court to monitor the czar's every move. He didn't trust her, because the female czar was addicted to a dissolute and shameless life and didn't care about state affairs, so Pistochev wouldn't let her get in touch with Britain.
Beauty in Paris caused a sensation in St. Petersburg and also attracted the attention of Pistochev. He ordered the secret agents to find out the origin and details as soon as possible. One night, when the young lady was attacked, four agents suddenly broke into Douglas and his niece's apartment. Three of them broke into Douglas' room after breaking into the house. Douglas, who was put on the bed by three people, struggled to jump out of bed, fought back with his fists and tried his best to defend himself, but with his bare hands, he could not compete with the three knife-wielding agents.
At the same time, the fourth spy has rushed into Miss de Beaumont's bedroom. D'Eon woke up with a start, jumped up and pulled out a pistol hidden under the pillow. With the gunfire, the spy fell to the ground and died. D'Eon snatched the sword from the spy and rushed out of the room to save Douglas.
At that time, D'Eon wore a robe and no makeup. He ran out of the room, which surprised three spies: how could a half-naked man run out of Miss's room? At this moment, I saw D'Eon's sword shining with cold light and suddenly stabbed.
The next day is the deadline for leaving the country, but there is still no "summoned" information. Douglas said to D'Eon, "It's time. It seems that we can't disobey Beth Tucev's orders, or he will put us on death row for espionage. "
D'Eon said, "No, I won't leave until tomorrow. I have another chance tonight. Don't despair until the last moment. "
It was a godsend. In the evening, Vice Premier Fronsov proudly accompanied the beautiful "Miss de Beaumont" into the palace to see the female czar.
Although the queen is old, her charm still exists. As soon as she saw the young French female guest, she took her aside and spoke to her with great attention.
The young lady said, "Your majesty's palace is more magnificent than Versailles. The oil paintings and statues here are much more exquisite than anything I have ever seen. "
The queen smiled. Because Europeans thought Russia was a backward country at that time, she invited experts from all over the world to decorate the palace for many years. She especially likes the guests to praise her palace courtyard as comparable to foreign countries. "Also, your majesty's robes ... please forgive my rudeness, but I have to say, they are so beautiful. How can the costumes of foreign queens compare with yours? "
The queen smiled again. She likes beautiful clothes, with 65,438+05,000 silk robes and 5,000 pairs of shoes. She was glad to be praised by a Paris lady. "When I was in Paris, I heard many strange stories. It's really amazing. Will your majesty listen? " D'Eon played this trump card because he knew that every night the Queen would always find some women to accompany her in the palace and chat with them all night. What's going on here? It turned out that many years ago, she ascended the throne at midnight. Since then, she has been afraid that someone will take her throne in the middle of the night. So she is used to staying up late, and only let the most trusted people accompany her at night. D'Eon hopes to spend the night with her and fulfill her mission.
D'Eon's behavior of accompanying the harem at night really took effect. The queen loves to hear right and wrong, and is especially interested in inside information from all over the world.
She said to D'Eon, "After the guests leave, you stay with me to the harem and tell me what you saw and heard in Paris and all the most ridiculous stories!"
That night, the queen left D'Eon in the secret room of the harem.
The secret room in the harem is so safe that even the prime minister's spies can't get in. That night, the first night, D'Eon could not immediately complete the task given to him by Louis XV. He still needs time.
With the passage of time, D'Eon finally became a close friend of the Queen, and then developed into a bed companion. When D'Eon later said that he was a man, the queen not only didn't get angry, but spoiled him even more, asking him to change back to men's clothes and make him the head of the body guard, so that he could go in and out of the palace at will.
At this time, petrosyan had no choice.
Soon, the Duke of the Netherlands in Britain received an urgent letter from the British Ambassador to Russia, which wrote: "I regret to report that Prime Minister Petrou Chev found it difficult to force Her Majesty to sign the treaty we urgently need ..." The Queen knew Petrou Chev's attempt and refused to sign the contract, which showed that D'Eon's "mission" had been successful.
D'Eon became the queen's darling, Fronsov gained the upper hand, and Pettushev's influence became smaller and smaller.
With the secret documents between the Queen and Louis XV, the pro-British faction suffered a devastating blow, and the alliance between Britain and Russia became empty talk.
Although D'Eon was loved and reused by the Queen, he didn't want to be her preserve for a long time, so he left Russia for me and returned to China.
When he returned to Paris, he was welcomed and richly rewarded by Louis XV. His annual salary is 3000 gold francs, and he is often sent to foreign countries as the personal representative of the French king to negotiate and complete many secret diplomatic tasks. Sometimes he appeared as Sir D'Eon, sometimes as "Miss de Beaumont", and he became a legend, which made people unpredictable.
The greater the credit for returning to D'Eon, the more jealous Madame Pompidou, the mistress of the French king.
Madame Pompidou is also a famous figure in the history of French spies. She was afraid that the French king would fall in love with another woman, so she set up a secret police force in private and appointed her confidant Beye as a police lieutenant general to spy on her rival in love. Any decision to later develop into a court must first be decided by the ministers meeting in her residence. She actually mastered the political, economic and military power of France at that time.
