After Louis Feldbaugh left, Jérôme Bonaparte also left the room and went to Friedrich's study.
When Jerome Bonaparte opened the door and entered the room, he saw Frederick sitting on the table with a sullen expression on his face, and Augusta also sat on the table with a sullen expression on his face.
Next to Redrich.
"What's going on with you two?" Jerome Bonaparte said as he strolled up to Friedrich.
When Augusta saw Jerome Bonaparte arriving, he immediately stood up and preached in German to Jerome Bonaparte, "You son, take care of it yourself! There is nothing I can do!"
After saying that, Augusta sat on the sofa angrily without saying a word.
Looking at Augusta who didn't say a word in front of him, Jérôme Bonaparte immediately understood that Augusta must be angry because of Frederick's learning problems.
So, Jérôme Bonaparte walked slowly to Frederic's side and asked Friedrich in a gentle voice how he made his mother angry.
Friedrich whispered to Jerome Bonaparte that he had made his mother angry because he could not learn German.
"Which word do you not know? I'll teach you!" Jerome Bonaparte felt that learning could bring him closer to the father-son relationship with Frederic.
After all, this is his rare free time.
More than an hour passed quickly, and suddenly Jerome Bonaparte’s roar came from the room, “Fredrich, I’ve taught you this countless times!
How could you still read it wrong!"
After saying that, Jerome Bonaparte raised his hand and was about to hit Frederic on the body. Frederic was sitting in the chair and curled up, looking particularly helpless.
When Augusta, who was sitting on the sofa, saw this, he quickly stood in front of Frederick and shouted at Jerome Bonaparte, "Jerome, what are you going to do!!"
Looking at Augusta who was like a tigress, Jérôme Bonaparte had no choice but to put his hand down again, and responded to Augusta with a sly smile, "I was just scaring Frederic!"
"This kid is not very smart to begin with. If you scare him silly, he will be even less smart!" Augusta frowned and said to Jerome Bonaparte.
After Friedrich, who was sitting behind Augusta, heard his mother say that he was not smart, he immediately protested in a low voice, "Mom, I'm not stupid!"
"Shut up!" Augusta glared at Friedrich behind him, gritted his teeth and said to Friedrich, "Son, you are still angry that I am not ruthless enough!"
When Friedrich heard Augusta's words, he immediately covered his mouth with both hands, his eyes full of innocence.
Jérôme Bonaparte first glanced at Frederic, then at Augusta who was standing in front of Frederic, and said lightly that he was going out to smoke a cigarette.
After Jerome Bonaparte left, Friedrich continued to be taught by Augusta.
Jérôme Bonaparte, who was walking in the corridor of the Palace of Fontainebleau, soon met Burbaski. He stretched out his hand and asked Burbaski for a cigarette.
Burbaski saw the melancholy in Jerome Bonaparte's expression, and immediately handed the cigarettes he carried into Jerome Bonaparte's hands.
Jérôme Bonaparte opened the cigarette box, took one out, and asked Bulbasky for a match. Then he asked Bulbasky for a matchbox.
Burbasky holds a matchbox and lights a cigarette for Jérôme Bonaparte.
As a wisp of white smoke floated from the window of Fontainebleau Palace to the outside world, Jérôme Bonaparte's original melancholy expression was relieved a little bit.
Jérôme Bonaparte, who put his hands on the window, first glanced at the trickling Seine River outside the Fontainebleau Palace, then looked at the lush forest in the distance, and finally said to Bourbasski, "Bourbas
Baski, smoke a big one with me too! There are no outsiders here!"
"yes!"
Burbaski deftly took out a cigarette from the pack and lit it.
When the cigarette was halfway through, Jérôme Bonaparte said quietly again, "I think Frederic is usually quite smart! Why does he become like this when he is studying!"
"Your Majesty, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is still young! When he is older, he will not be like this!" Burbaski hurriedly comforted Jerome Bonaparte.
"He is not young anymore!" Jérôme Bonaparte exclaimed, "He is already five years old, how many five years in life can he waste!
If I don’t know how to study now, how can I safely hand the empire into his hands in the future?”
"Your Majesty, you are now in the prime of the Spring and Autumn Period! By the time the Crown Prince assumes state affairs, it will already be a hundred years later!" Burbasky said to Jerome Bonaparte again.
"Alas!" Jerome Bonaparte sighed again, and the idea of a constitutional monarch began to come to his mind.
The premise for implementing absolute monarchy in France is that the monarch himself can suppress all opposition by relying on his own will.
If the monarch cannot effectively suppress opponents, then constitutional monarchy may be a good choice.
Re-establish the authority of the Parliament and block it in front of the monarch, so that the French people will transfer all their anger to the Parliament and ignore the monarch hiding behind the Parliament.
Once the Parliament is opposed by all French people, the monarch can also remove the Parliament and replace it with members whom the Paris people trust relatively.
However, once France implements a constitutional monarchy, the monarch's colleagues whose rights are protected by Parliament will inevitably be suppressed by Parliament.
It would be impossible for Frederick to ignore the opposition of the legislative group and implement policies insistently like himself.
Therefore, Jérôme Bonaparte was still unwilling to put a layer of "yoke" on Frederick unless it was absolutely necessary.
This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! If Frederick really did not meet his expectations, then the constitutional monarchy was not a "shackles" for Frederick, but an effective layer of protection.
Protect Friedrich from being swallowed up by the surging public opinion.
Seeing Jerome Bonaparte so melancholy, Burbaski once again comforted Jerome Bonaparte and said, "Your Majesty, please forgive me!
You only see His Royal Highness the Crown Prince’s shortcomings in study, but you ignore His Highness’s excellent talents in dealing with people!”
"How to deal with people?" Jerome Bonaparte was stunned for a moment, and then he remembered what Friedrich had said to Burbasky before, "Well, he does have some small talents in this area!
But his studies..."
"Some abilities can be made up for by the day after tomorrow, but some abilities cannot be made up by the day after tomorrow!" Burbaski responded to Jerome Bonaparte, "In Your Highness, I feel a different affinity from your Majesty!
I think His Highness will be able to become a friendly emperor in the future!"
Burbasky paused, and then Jérôme Bonaparte said, "As for learning, as long as you persevere! I believe that Your Highness will be able to catch up!"
"hope so!"
Jérôme Bonaparte recalled the days when he had trouble with hanging beams and thorns in his buttocks in his previous life. He believed that as long as Frederick studied as hard as he did in his previous life, he would be able to catch up.
A cigarette burned in the hand of Jerome Bonaparte until only the butt remained. Jerome Bonaparte flicked it hard, and the cigarette butt drew a graceful arc in the air and landed on the Palace of Fontainebleau.
In the courtyard.
Leave the rest to the servants in the courtyard!
"Thank you! Burbasky!" Jerome Bonaparte said to Burbasky with a smile.
"These are what I should do!" Burbaski humbly responded to Jerome Bonaparte.
Later, Jerome Bonaparte returned to the room. After seeing Jerome Bonaparte in the room, Frederick moved subconsciously.
Looking at his son who was a little afraid of him, Jerome Bonaparte had a trace of shame in his eyes. He slowly came to Frederic's side, gently touched Frederic's head and apologized softly.
, "I'm sorry, I shouldn't have been so angry with you just now!"
Faced with Jerome Bonaparte's apology, Friedrich magnanimously expressed that he had forgiven Jerome Bonaparte.
In the next period of time, I will spend some time every day studying with Friedrich.
"No! No need! It's enough for me to have my mother with me!" Frederick immediately wanted to refuse Jerome Bonaparte. He was afraid that something similar to what happened just now would happen again.
"How can this be possible!" Jerome Bonaparte shook his head and responded to Frederick, "As your father, naturally I cannot be absent at your most important moment!"
In the following months, Jerome Bonaparte did not return to the Tuileries Palace, but announced that he would renovate the Tuileries Palace.
During the renovation of the Tuileries Palace, he will remain at the Palace of Fontainebleau.
Since the Palace of Fontainebleau is almost 100 kilometers away from Paris, it is obviously impossible to bring all the large and small matters that happened in Paris to the Palace of Fontainebleau. Therefore, many unnecessary government affairs were carried out by Jérôme.
Bonaparte delegated power to the leaders of various departments, retaining only the tasks that must be handled by the monarch.
However, even though Jérôme Bonaparte had delegated most of the power to various departments, there were still many tasks that required the ministers of each department to report in person to the Palace of Fontainebleau.
The ministers in Paris had to take a train to the Palace of Fontainebleau every two or three days to report to Jerome Bonaparte in person.
Although each train ride lasts only two or three hours, over time, ministers from various departments will inevitably complain.
During this time, many ministers suggested that Jerome Bonaparte move back to the Tuileries Palace.
Jérôme Bonaparte turned a deaf ear to this, and instead focused on perfecting the plan to suppress Paris. At the same time, he personally organized a "big contest" among the Guards stationed near Paris.
This move made the republicans in Paris even more frightened, fearing that the emperor would accidentally enter the "Great Tournament" in Paris.
