The day after the premiere, the Armand and Dragon and Rose Theatre received many new invitations to perform. Among these invitations, one invitation was particularly unique because it did not come from a certain theater, but from Mr. Robespierre, a member of the National Constitutional Convention.

If he saw the invitation letter, Joseph, he might be shocked, because Mr. Robespierre was later a famous "murderer". According to some accounts, during the period when he ruled France, a high guillotine was erected in the center of every square in Paris; a "public enemy" who was sentenced to death was hung on each street lamp pole. Later generations even fabricated an epitaph for him: "I, Robespierre, have been buried here forever. Passers-by, don't be sad for me, if I live, none of you will survive!"

Joseph believed that after the fall of Robespierre, his enemies, from the Hemmontes to the later Emperor Napoleon, and then to the restoration of Louis XVIII, almost no one would like this guy who "uncorrosive, defender of the people, creating national training: 'freedom, equality, fraternity' (Robespierre's real epitaph). So it was almost certain to throw sewage on his head. Just like during the Bourbon Restoration period in history, they fabricated various popular stories for Napoleon, and described him as a combination of "Daldouf" (the protagonist of the comedy "The Hypocrite") and "Don Juan" (in Europe, this name is synonymous with lustful people).

So, those legends about Robespierre's moody and joy of killing are mostly unreliable. However, even considering these, one thing is still certain, that is, this "uncorrosive person, defender of the people" killed many people, and many of them were once in the same trenches as him. If Robespierre enjoys killing, it is likely to be slandering him; but if Robespierre is accustomed to solving problems by "solving the person who has made the problem", it probably wouldn't be fake. In general, it is: being Robespierre's enemy is very dangerous; but being Robespierre's friend is not necessarily safe.

But Armand didn't know about this, and at this time, Robespierre's reputation was just right. He spoke more than 200 times during the Third Session and Constitutional Conference, ranking 20th among the representatives. In his speech, he supported the universal suffrage of male citizens, opposed the king's veto, supported the granting of Jewish people's rights, called for the abolition of slavery and death penalty, and opposed news review. (Yes, you read that right, "killer" Robespierre was an abolitionist at that time. Is it strange? This is not surprising, it's just that there is evidence that the butt determines the head. When Robespierre was an abolitionist, the tool of death penalty was controlled. When Robespierre was an abolitionist, the death penalty was controlled.

What is built in the hands of King Louis XVI threatened a "troubled man" like Robespierre. So Robespierre, as a "troubled man", naturally opposed it. When this tool fell into the hands of Robespierre, the situation was naturally different. Speaking of this moment, Louis XVI had just completed the only technological invention in his life to improve the design of the guillotine and improve its efficiency. Ironically, the first user of this improved version of the guillotine was Louis XVI himself. Master Lu said: "A broad face changes, and the beheadings gradually become more and more. Suddenly, he stepped down and fell from the wild, Namo Amitabha." It can be a portrayal of these people.)

Most of these suggestions from Robespierre were not approved, but they brought him the reputation of "Uncorrosive One". Now that he received his invitation, Armand was naturally very happy. Moreover, the location provided by Robespierre is also particularly special, and this place is the Palace of Royal.

The Palace of Royal was originally built for Louis XIII's Prime Minister Richelieu. It once called the Archbishop of Cardinal (Richelieu was the Cardinal of France), and later became the residence of the Duke of Orleans. In order to win over the people of Paris, the Orleans family opened it to the public in 1780. Since then, this private garden palace has gradually become a public square for the people of Paris. Of course, there must be the meaning of the Duke of Orleans behind this. Now his political ambitions can be said to be well known to everyone.

During the French Revolution in 1789, Paris had two political centers. One was Versailles outside Paris, where a third-level meeting was being held to determine the fate of France. The other was the Royal Palace in the center of Paris. During that period, it was a thermometer for measuring the political fanaticism of the people in Paris. These were the two political authorities. If compared, after July 14, 1789, it was not Versailles but Royal led France. Because Versailles could not affect Royal; on the other hand, Royal could dominate Versailles.

Royal Palace is a large palace that can accommodate tens of thousands of people. It is a place full of various political pamphlets and orators. Of course, there is no shortage of various audiences and listeners. Since the third-level meeting, people have exchanged various information here, including those from Versailles; at the same time, they have turned it into various rumors to spread it. If Armand's drama can be performed here, even if it is only one, it will definitely make Armand famous.

Armand accepted the invitation after a little thought. In the evening of that day, he also visited Robespierre with the starring actor Louis.

Robespierre was living in a hotel near the town hall at this time. In fact, he had a better place to live. Many members of the Constitutional Assembly had accepted the kindness of the Duke of Orleans or the Marquis of Falayet because of security reasons and moved into their property. But the "Uncorruptible One" still paid for his own money and lived in an ordinary hotel. However, when Robespierre was a lawyer, he won some lawsuits, so his financial situation was good, and the conditions of the hotel he stayed in were also good. In addition to the bedroom, he also had a small living room with a sofa.

Armand took Louis and led him to the third floor under a waiter. This is the top floor of the hotel, which is quieter than the first and second floors, which may be one of the reasons why Robespierre chose to live here.

The waiter brought Armand and Louis to a door and knocked gently.

"The door is open. Please come in." A very cheerful voice came from inside.

The waiter pushed open the door and said to the inside, "Mr. Robespierre, Mr. Lavoisier and Mr. Saint-Just come to visit at the appointment."

Yes, Louis's surname is Saint Just. If Joseph had known his last name when he met him, he would have looked at this handsome young man who didn't talk much. Because although Joseph, who was an engineering dog in his previous life, was not particularly familiar with the history of the French Revolution, he had read Victor Hugo's "93rd Year", and from the notes of that novel, he also knew that Robespierre's most hard-core younger brother, Saint Just, known as the "Angel of Revolution" or the "Angel of Terror".

However, even though Armand did not mention his surname when introducing Saint Just to Joseph, Joseph should have thought that he was the "terrifying archangel" because of his unparalleled beauty.

"Please come in, two gentlemen." A voice came from the room, but there was no one in the living room.

"Sorry, I'm writing a manuscript, and there are a few more words to end. Please wait a moment on the sofa. Hey, Henry, please help me greet them and pour them a cup of tea. Thank you." The voice came from the study room in the other side of the living room.

The waiter took the two of them into the living room, asked them to sit down on the sofa, and poured them tea. The tea is Indian black tea, but the quality is average. If Joseph had changed, he would probably not drink it, because he knew that the lower teas of this era often added patina to cover up mold. Drinking this thing would have no health benefits.

However, Armand and Saint Just had no such concerns, so they sat down on the sofa, picked up the tea and started drinking.

Two minutes later, a word came from the study: "I finally finished writing! Sorry, I've been waiting for you for a long time."

With this sound, a young man walked out. Perhaps because of staying up late, his face turned a little white, but his expression was serious. His lips were thin and his eyes were calm. His cheeks were a little nervous, which made his smile look a little unnatural. According to the lawyers' habits, his face was powdered, his gloves were worn, his clothes were straight, his buttons were neatly buttoned, and there was no trace of folds on the light blue top. His lower body was beige pants, white stockings, shoes with silver buckles, high tie, and crotch-shaped decoration on the front.

"Sorry, I didn't expect you to be able to be so fast." Robespierre reached out to shake hands with them. "I went to see your premiere yesterday. After coming back, I was so excited that I couldn't fall asleep all night. My ears were filled with your battle songs and the exciting speeches of our Spartacus. I even forgot about my work. Until not long ago, I remembered that I would give a speech in Parliament tomorrow. I looked at the time. I guess you will have to be one or two hours before, so I went to draft the manuscript first. I have a problem with me. Once I write the manuscript, I can't interrupt it. I have to let you wait here. I hope you don't think I want to neglect you."

"I understand this," said Saint Just. "I don't like to interrupt halfway through anything I do."

"Do you know the purpose of my invitation to the Royal Palace this time to perform?" Robespierre sat down on the sofa and asked very directly.

"You hope to put pressure on the king through this drama." Saint Just replied almost without hesitation.
