Time flies so fast, July 1st has arrived in the blink of an eye.
Slight summer heat is approaching, and there is not a single cloud in the sky in Paris. The summer sun shines brightly on every street in Paris, and even the air is exuding a scorching smell. Pedestrians on the road have to walk home faster under the scorching sun.
.
Even in such hot weather, the Supreme Court of the 1st district of Paris is still bustling with activity.
Gentlemen wearing black tuxedos and top hats sat in the audience with sweating faces, wiping the unstoppable sweat on their foreheads with handkerchiefs. Some informal gentlemen even unbuttoned their tuxedos to reveal their white shirts, trying to
Get a little coolness.
Today is the busiest day for the Supreme Court since the founding of the Second Republic. The seats in the auditorium have been booked two hours before the hearing, so many people have to squeeze into the corridor of the auditorium. Soon, the left and right corridors are also the same
It was also packed with people, people eagerly waiting for the court to begin.
I heard that some big shot is going to be put on trial.
"The drama is about to begin!" Thiers in the audience turned to the Count Morlay beside him and said.
Count Molay nodded and responded: "It is indeed a wonderful show!"
"That's right!" Thiers also responded with a smile, then glanced regretfully at the empty seat next to him and sighed: "Unfortunately, Prime Minister Barrow is not here!"
"Barrow? Huh! This guy has almost lost himself in the position of Prime Minister! He has almost forgotten who pushed him to the position of Prime Minister in the first place!" Molay snorted and sarcastically said.
At 10 a.m., the Supreme Court officially begins.
Five mages wearing wigs and black robes...no, it should be the justices slowly came out of the corridor next to the rostrum. Their faces were tight and solemn as they walked up to the rostrum and took their seats one by one.
The justice sitting in the middle banged his gavel and said solemnly: "Quiet!"
The commotion in the audience fell silent instantly, and everyone's eyes were fixed on the five justices on the stage.
The five justices laid their hands on the five constitutions placed on the rostrum and solemnly swore that they would abide by the constitution and enforce the law impartially.
After taking the oath, the justice banged the gavel again and said with a loud bell sound: "The court is now in session. Summon the defendant Ludru Roland... to the court!"
Under the escort of the judicial police, Ludru Roland and dozens of his accomplices came to the plaintiff's seat.
Immediately afterwards, the five justices checked some information about Ludru Roland. After the verification was correct, the court officially entered the litigation process.
"Now the prosecutor will read the indictment!" The justice turned his eyes to the prosecutor and said solemnly.
"After legal review, it was found that at about 9:00 on June 13, 1849, the defendant Ludru Roland... attempted to incite the National Guards to rebel in an attempt to overthrow the Republic... Defendant, what explanation do you want to give now!" the prosecutor
Questioning Ludru Roland and others.
After Ludru Roland was silent for a while, he raised his head and said firmly: "I am not guilty!"
Then, he pointed at the justice in the court and shouted at the top of his lungs: "You are the ones who are guilty! You accomplices! You are destroying the sacred constitution of the Republic, and you..." Ludru Roland pointed his finger at the audience
Members of the order party at the table.
There was a commotion in the corridor behind the auditorium. Many Parisian citizens who were watching the excitement began to murmur in low voices. Some tabloid reporters were busy recording the content of the trial so that it would be more eye-catching when it is officially published tomorrow.
Seeing that the scene was becoming increasingly chaotic, the justice banged his gavel and shouted: "Clear! No noise in the Supreme Court!"
The people in the corridor stopped talking, and the chief judge continued: "Defendant, do you have anything else you want to appeal?"
"I accuse you!" Ludru Roland pointed at the justice and continued to roar: "I accuse you of confusing right and wrong, accusing you of not distinguishing between right and wrong! I accuse the National Assembly, the cabinet, and the government!"
Ludru Roland's voice became louder and louder. In order to prevent the "justice" of the trial, several judicial police officers had to completely control the excited Ludru Roland.
In the solemn pronouncement of the chancellor, Ludru Roland and his accomplices were sentenced to fixed-term imprisonment ranging from 10 to 15 years. They will be exiled to the South American colonies for the rest of their lives and will not be able to return to France.
"Now, I declare that the Supreme Court's decision has been passed!"
The five justices left one after another, and Ludru Roland and others also returned to prison under the escort of judicial police.
"A just trial!" Thiers praised after watching the entire farce.
"That's right! A just trial!" Count Morai also nodded in response.
Early the next morning.
Major newspapers have published news about Ludru Rolland's trial, and most newspapers have maintained an attitude consistent with the government's attitude toward Ludru Rolland.
They denounced Ludru Roland as a careerist who attempted to overthrow the Republic and a remnant of "Robespierre".
Only a few newspapers regarded Ludru Rolland as a "fighter" for the constitution.
Jérôme Bonaparte, who lives in the Elysee Palace, is sitting on the sofa, holding a newspaper called "People's Daily" in his hand and reading: "A child's play trial completely expelled the Montagnards from the Parliament, and the Constitutional Republic
The Janus-like disclosure showed the other side of his legislative power without the executive face... The Supreme Court, in its clown face, announced the content of the trial against Ludru Roland and others..."
As the reading progressed, Jérôme Bonaparte felt more and more that the writing style of this article was very similar to that of a certain person, no, it should be said to be exactly the same spicy.
However, this person should still be in Prussia!
Jerome Bonaparte suddenly thought that someone in the original history seemed to have been expelled from Prussia and should now be living in France.
Jérôme Bonaparte quickly flipped through the back of the "People's Daily", and in the signature column he saw the name of the person he wanted to see the most but dared not meet the most.
"Karl Marx!" Jerome Bonaparte muttered softly, with the corners of his mouth twitching slightly.
Jérôme Bonaparte, who "once" imagined having an inter-era dialogue with him, now does not want to see this name at all, or in other words, he never wants to meet him.
Times have changed, and he is the leader of a new era, creating a specter that scares the entire capitalism.
And he has become a conservative, a ghost of Bonapartism.
Jerome Bonaparte and Karl Marx have become completely antagonistic.
Of course, Jérôme Bonaparte did not think that he could be compared with people like Dr. Ma. As Dr. Ma said, he was at best a poor imitator in the cloak of his uncle.
Just when Jérôme Bonaparte was lost in thought, Pesini came in and reported to Jérôme Bonaparte: "Your Majesty, Prime Minister Barrow wants to see you!"
After coming back to his senses, Jérôme Bonaparte placed the "People's Daily" on the walnut square table and ordered Pesini to invite Odilon Barrot in, while he took advantage of the opportunity before Odilon Barrot arrived.
, sat back at the desk and waited for Odilon Barrow's arrival.
Odilon Barrow was led by Pesini to the study. Sitting opposite the president, he immediately said: "Your Excellency, I request the imposition of martial law in the Paris area!"
"Martial law?" Jérôme Bonaparte spread his hands and shook his head: "Mr. Prime Minister, Ledru Roland and his associates have been tried by the Supreme Court. There is no need for martial law in Paris at this stage!"
"Your Excellency, President!" Odilon Barro explained to Jérôme Bonaparte: "According to what I understand, although the main criminals such as Ledru Roland have been caught and tried, there are still some colleagues.
The party is entrenched in the Seine and other provinces. If the evil cannot be eradicated, the whole of Paris and even France will be in danger of being subverted at any time."
Although Odilon Barro's words were somewhat threatening, after thinking about it carefully, Jérôme Bonaparte found that martial law seemed to be completely beneficial to him.
He can completely pass the blame to the Party of Order, and the benefits gained can be divided in half.
"Mr. Prime Minister, how are you going to implement martial law?" Jérôme Bonaparte asked Odilon Barrot. He did not believe that Odilon Barrot had rashly implemented martial law without a suitable plan.
"Your Excellency, this is the plan drawn up by the cabinet!" Odilon Barro opened the bag and handed the plan to Jérôme Bonaparte.
Jérôme Bonaparte flipped through the pages of "Martial Law".
Barrow's martial law was divided into two parts, one of which was the restriction on newspaper publishing. The plan pointed out that except for some newspapers published by regulations, all newspapers published without permission would be regarded as illegal newspapers, and all newspapers exceeding
Newspapers other than "National" were banned, and there was also a rectification of journalists in Paris. Some "foreign journalists" were marked as "expelled" by Barrow, including those well known to Jerome Bonaparte.
Karl Marx and Proudhon.
The other part is about the reorganization of the army and the club. Barrow plans to gradually identify soldiers who are inclined to the Mountain Party, and then eliminate them one by one, and at the same time disband all members of the Eighth, Nineth and Twelfth Legions of the National Guard. Clubs
The plan is to forcibly disband all clubs, and all secret groups will be disbanded as soon as they are discovered.
After reading Odilon Barro's "Martial Law", Jérôme Bonaparte had to sigh for Odilon Barro's ruthlessness.
The saying that the butt determines the head will never go out of style. Barrow, who played the role of the opposition party in the Kingdom of Orleans and advocated freedom of speech, turned out to be the kind of person he hated.
It can only be said that power changes people.
After returning the draft of martial law to Odilon Barrot, Jérôme Bonaparte said: "I think we need to make some changes!"
"You said it!" Odilon Barrow replied.
"I hope the cabinet will also move!" Jérôme Bonaparte saw the vigilance in Odilon Barrow's eyes, and he explained: "Mr. Barrow, we must win over some republicans.
