Amid the sobs, the royal family and his group embarked on the road of exile abroad, and the Bourbon dynasty came to an end again.

When the royal family was in power, the people around the royal family were like crucian carp trees, and there were countless numbers; however, after the royal family fell, there were very few people who were willing to follow the royal family to go out to exile. Most of the people who originally rely on flattering the king's family to gain wealth and prosperity were hoped to stay on the grounds of "can't let go of their families" and "lurking in the country to serve the royal family" and other reasons.

The royal family is tolerant of the selfishness of these people, because they also know that most of the world are tempted by the people. They have never expected them to leave their families and have followed them in exile. There is no need to tear each other apart in the end. Now they leave a friendly farewell to each other and leave a memory when they deal with each other in the future.

So the royal family gently encouraged them and allowed them to stay in the country, and only those who were most loyal to them followed them and left.

The departure of the royal family will not mean that the country's political stage will cease. On the contrary, around the power vacuum they left, ambitious people will cooperate or fight with each other and perform tragic comedy series.

Among these ambitious people, the first and most deliberate one was naturally the Duke of Orleans. With the help of its small royal family and its huge wealth, it has been fighting against the royal family for many years, and finally seized the opportunity and overthrew the royal family.

After overthrowing the royal family, the duke naturally seemed only one step away from the coveted throne.

However, because of the sudden change, this step was unable to cross the past smoothly, which made him extremely anxious and unable to sleep or eat.

But since he fired the first shot, he had no turning back. Even if it was not for the crown, but for the purpose of protecting the family's property and status, he had to bite the bullet and go on.

These days, in order to win the support of all parties, he ran around and appointed officials to make wishes, hoping that those with strength would stand on his side. It was at this time that he finally got the news that Prince Talleyran returned to his mansion and appeared in public.

Everyone knows that appearing at this point in time must mean that the old fox has already smelled the wind and is ready to officially come out to carry out his usual conspiracy - in the past half a century, this old thing has hardly missed a major political change.

After receiving the news that Talleyrand appeared, the Duke of Orleans immediately took people to visit the infamous prince.

Although he hated Prince Talleyran very much, at this moment, Talleyran's support was extremely important to him, so he was willing to take out the price he deserved to buy this old guy who was willing to change his powers when he saw profits and was changing with the wind.

In order to show respect for the prince, the duke only brought a few confidants to the door, and he also received the prince's kind hospitality as he wished.

Due to the chaotic situation, the originally smooth logistics traffic in Paris was interrupted for a while, and the supply of supplies was quite tight. The food naturally disappeared from the citizens' tables. However, the prince might have prepared a lot of supplies before the turmoil, so the table was filled with various exquisite meals, which was enough to make the people all eat.

However, the Duke was not in the mood to have a meal at the moment. He just wanted to find out Talleyran's true attitude as soon as possible and to pull the old guy aside if possible.

"The Abandoned Kings' family has left yesterday, and we should enter a new era." After a brief greeting, the Duke of Orleans made a straight-forward attitude and put on a victorious attitude. "The topic that is now before all of us is no longer how to end tyranny, but to rebuild order as soon as possible and stabilize the situation. Are you right?"

"Yes, I think so too." Talley nodded.

Although he was old, his appetite looked pretty good. While speaking, he swallowed a grilled oyster and took a sip of Zuoji wine.

Seeing Talleyran agreed to his opinion, the Duke relaxed a little, but from the prince's careless attitude, he felt that the other party was obviously a little perfunctory - in the current situation, this perfunctory attitude was definitely not what he wanted to see.

So, in order to convince Talleyran, the Duke took out the rhetoric he had thought in his heart, "Your Highness, you are old, and I am not young anymore. We have all witnessed the bloody years of those years, so we all know that if this country falls into a desperate situation and is controlled by the most radical and craziest people, it will inevitably fall into madness. In this madness, order will be gone and wealth will be gone. No matter how noble or rich people are, they may lose everything overnight... And we are all proprietors, the essence of the old era. Do you really want to see the past happen again and see us face that terrible dream demon again?"

Talleyran disagreed with the intimidation of the Duke of Orleans, and he just chuckled.

"Sir, if I remember correctly, it was your family who actively participated in the revolution at that time... If the country is in a state of madness, I will also remember you a credit..."

After being pointed out by Talleyran in person, the duke's face darkened and a little embarrassed, but he quickly returned to normal, and then he calmly defended his family's actions back then.

"At that time, our family adhered to fraternity and reason and blindly devoted themselves to it. We once sincerely believed that as long as we act according to the best laws of mankind, we could break the barriers of the old era, make the country look new, and every citizen could enjoy the gifted rights equally - because of this, we voluntarily gave up the title of aristocratic, and we dedicated everything for the country and the nation. However, what happened next proved that our thoughts were wrong. The most beautiful words often brought the craziest ending. My father paid the price of his life for this, and I had to escape abroad..."

When talking about his deceased father, the Duke showed sad face, paused for a moment, and then continued, "Because we made a mistake once before, we will not make the same mistake again... Although the aborted king's rebellious actions cannot tolerate, we must not tolerate disorder and mob revolution, otherwise it will put the whole country in the worst situation! Prince Talleyran, now I beg you to save the country with me. There is not much time left for us!"

In order to show his sincerity, the Duke of Orleans has made a full gesture at this moment. He looked at the old man opposite him with enthusiasm, as if he was really selfless and just wanted to protect the country.

He made such hypocritical behavior and naturally did not expect Lake to trap Talleyrand. However, the so-called politics must first have a high-sounding title, and then talk about those dirty and dirty deals. He must first give the two sides a banner of cooperation.

However, to his disappointment, although he had tried hard to show kindness, Prince Talleyran seemed to be unmoved and was still eating slowly.

"Are you no longer passionate about the future of the country?" After waiting for a while, the Duke asked unwillingly. "At this crisis, if you, who is famous, do not stand up, but remain silent, it will inevitably disappoint the entire country... How can they recognize you as having an important position?"

By now, he has become very explicit. Either you stand on my side or you will no longer have the opportunity to take power.

This suggestive threat made Prince Talleyran finally stop his hand and then glance at the Duke coldly.

"Sir, do you seem to think that only you have the opportunity to decide who will take power?"

"Isn't that the case at this moment?" the Duke asked, "It was me who responded to the call of the parliament, defended the country and nation in the face of tyranny, and bravely overthrew the tyrants - then according to this achievement, shouldn't I take over the power of the royal power?"

"A coin has two sides. On the front, you overthrew the tyrant, but on the back, you draw your guns toward the royal family. How you view it depends on everyone's position." Talleyran pointed out this quietly, "No doubt you have made contributions to defending the parliament, but this does not mean that you should naturally become king, otherwise I also think that the Marquis of Lafayette is qualified to be king!

Besides, isn’t it strange to decide who can be king and who can’t be king? This practice reminds me of the Constitutional Assembly back then! It was it that deposed King Louis XVI in the midst of excitement, forcing us to face a new era... And you, just a moment ago, were refuting that era with me. How could you applaud it again in the blink of an eye?"

Speaking of this, Talleyran seemed to feel a little funny again. He looked at the Duke and his lips twitched slightly, "Well, sir, even if everything you said is correct, how did you know that the Parliament would be willing to hand over the throne to you?"

Talleyrand's series of clever rebuttals made the Duke of Orleans feel at a loss for a moment.

After all, the reason why he was able to overthrow the royal family was because King Charles X took office and the national economy was sluggish, and the public was full of grievances; but "popular grievances" just mean that the people hate the Bourbon royal family, and it does not mean that the people like him. Therefore, he used the authorization of the parliament as the basis for his argument between the lines. But according to the current situation, how much authority does the parliament itself have in the ownership of the throne?

Even if the Parliament has authority, then the Parliament has two houses at that time, and the old nobles are filled with the aristocratic house. They could not agree to the resolution of "demolishing the king and transferring the throne to the Orleans family" in any case.

In the final analysis, he used violence to overthrow the king, but for his political stance, he was unwilling to admit that he was relying on violence to usurp the throne. If the situation was under control, no one would dare to question his open lies. But now, his authority is not enough to intimidate everyone, and he is not the only qualified successor of prestige in people's hearts.

So when someone dared to question his legitimacy in person, his argument immediately became shaky.

The Duke was already extremely impatient with Prince Talleyran's repeated confrontations. If he had followed his personality, he would have turned against this old thing on the spot.

However, now is not the time to act recklessly, he can only suppress his anger and speak as calmly as possible.

"Then tell me, Your Highness, what do you want?"

"What I want is very simple - a leader who is truly expected of the public, and a government that is deeply favored by the public and can save the current situation. The orthodox royal family was overthrown by another riot. This is very regrettable. But since the situation is done, we can only look forward... Since you said that the root of the disaster is because the royal family is unpopular, then we should decide who will take over the rule based on the choice of the people, rather than relying on the votes of one or two hundred incompetent people!"

The Duke frowned, and he couldn't understand what Talleyran meant for a moment.

"What is the choice of the people in your eyes?"

"Isn't this obvious?" Prince Talleyran replied calmly, "At this moment, we need to be recognized by the whole nation and innocent legislature. Only this organization is qualified to represent the wishes of the people. Since the orthodox dynasty of more than ten years ended in failure, we should rebuild a convincing order - the parliament obtained by the election of the whole nation will be the first step, and next, the legislature will determine the ownership of the throne. In this way, we are confident that we have received the authorization of the whole nation, right?"

Talleyran's words made the Duke feel incredible.

"When did you become an American?" he was simply amused. "What is the point of such a universal election? It will only make the mob succeed."

"Times are changing, and we cannot remain unchanged, sir." Talleyrand spread his hands, feeling a little disappointed with the Duke's unimagination. "Since you keep saying that you want to rebuild order for the country and the nation, then you should agree with my plan, for those who best bridge the current separatist public opinion of our country... isn't it?"

The Duke of Orleans frowned. He wanted to refute, but he could not find a better statement for a while. But he knew that he would never agree to this request because he was not sure to get the so-called "public opinion".

"No, I don't think this can do it!" he said tough. "The existing parliament is still in operation, and there is no reason to stop it!"

"If you say the reason, I have one." Prince Talleyran said slowly, "Before being deposed, His Majesty the King left an edict, proclaiming that his edict for dissolution of the parliament before his abolishment was still valid, and that he was deposed under the illegal state of this parliament. He could leave the throne, but the country could not be merciless and innocent. He hoped that we could get a more fair and innocent legislature."

This sudden news not only shocked the Duke, but also his followers were shocked.

"What is the value of a deposed edict from the deposed king?" In a hurry, the duke immediately laughed disdainfully to show his calmness.

"Then we should leave it to the parliament and the people for their own judgment." Talleyran replied leisurely.
