Jérôme Bonaparte's "explanation" obviously did not convince Odilon Barrot. After finally expelling the Montagnards and Republicans from the Legislative Assembly, he did not want to allow the remnants of the suppressed republicans to enter the cabinet.
Compared with Odilon Barrot's cold and violent confrontation, Jérôme Bonaparte put on a selfless face. He persuaded Odilon Barrot with sincerity and said: "Mr. Prime Minister, I know the republicans.
Entering the cabinet may compromise some of your power, but we have to do it!"
"Your Excellency, I don't think we need to share the cake with those who have been kicked out of the table!" Odilon Barrow, who had been silent for a long time, finally spoke again.
Damn it, I don’t want to see your family become the sole leader!
Jérôme Bonaparte complained in his heart.
Facing the Party of Order, which had already taken control of the legislative power, Jérôme Bonaparte could never allow them to slowly blend in and take control of the executive power.
The previous expulsion of the Republicans and the Montagnards from the parliament was intended to turn the parliament into an organization that is easy to compromise. With only 450 seats, non-hardcore members of Parliament are undoubtedly more likely to divide.
Nowadays, the purpose of recruiting republicans into the cabinet is also to dilute Odilon Barrow's power as cabinet prime minister, so that he can deal a thunderous blow to Odilon Barrow.
However, Jerome Bonaparte was obviously a little too cautious.
According to the information Jérôme Bonaparte learned from some members of the Party of Order who wanted to defect to him, since the main members of the Mountain Party were expelled from parliament on June 13, the dominant Party of Order has
The fierce internal fighting that began, the struggle between the left and the right of the Orleans dynasty, the struggle between the Orleans and the orthodox, and the struggle between the moderate republicans and the orthodox... As prime minister, Odilon Barrow was also affected by some.
Due to the hostility of the Party of Order, it can be said that the victory of the Legislative Assembly only worsened the shaky position of Prime Minister Odilon Barrow.
In the Constitution of the Second Republic, the Prime Minister, as the head of the government, can maintain his rule through the trust of the President even without the support of the Parliament.
Before the fall of the Montagnard, Odilon Barro could rely on the Party of Order to get rid of the president and maintain its rule.
After the collapse of the Montagnard, Odilon Barro must rely on part of the president's support to survive.
In the final analysis, it is easier to share adversity than to enjoy happiness together.
This is true among people, let alone a political party.
A certain great man once said that there is no party outside the party, only imperial ideas. There are no factions within the party, and there are all kinds of strange things.
"Mr. Prime Minister, I think it is essential to properly win over some losers! As Congressman Thiers once said, we are all tomorrow's republicans.
Although our party has achieved a comprehensive victory, can we really continue to win? Even during the Orleans Dynasty, there were still some republicans who served as ministers.
Appropriately letting go of part of the power will help draw some people to us, thereby reducing the difficulty of implementing the bill!" Jerome Bonaparte tried his best to analyze the situation at hand for Odilon Barro. Of course, during the conversation
It is inevitable that some private goods are mixed in.
Although Odilon Barro continued to remain silent, the attentive Jérôme Bonaparte noticed that Odilon Barro's eyes changed from resistance to movement. Jérôme Bonaparte knew that Odilon Barro was moving.
Luo has already begun to think about the pros and cons.
Facing Odilon Barro, who had begun to waver, Jerome Bonaparte decided to give Odilon Barro a fatal blow: "Mr. Barro, I heard that many people in the party have begun to attack your policies.
They accuse you of only conniving with the opposition parties, and I’m right!”
There was a hint of surprise in Odilon Barrow's eyes, and then he regained his composure. He smiled and said, "I wonder where you heard these unrealistic rumors, Mr. President!"
Jerome Bonaparte pretended to be confused and blamed himself: "Oh! I just said how could Mr. Prime Minister encounter such a thing!"
Then he changed the subject and assured Odilon Barrow: "But please rest assured, Mr. Prime Minister, even if it is true, you are still the Prime Minister of the Cabinet! You should know that I am a person who does not like to make trouble!"
"Thank you, Your Excellency the President, for your trust!" Odilon Barro responded to Jérôme Bonaparte.
Odilon Barrot understood the subtext of Jérôme Bonaparte, and he had to take a step back to gain the support of some republicans and the president.
Humph! A man who has both sides!
After pondering for a moment, Odilon Barrow spoke tentatively again: "Your Excellency, which position do you think we should give up!"
Jérôme Bonaparte had no intention of being fooled at all. He continued to adopt a businesslike attitude and said: "Mr. Prime Minister, these are the situations you should consider!"
Odilon Barrow put down his guard. In his opinion, the president has no intention of seeking power, and he "sincerely" wants to maintain the balance and stability of the cabinet.
In the end, Odilon Barrot agreed to Jérôme Bonaparte's request and handed over some departmental powers to the republicans. Jérôme Bonaparte also approved Odilon Barrot's martial law.
Shortly after Odilon Barro left, Pesini entered the study and reported to Jérôme Bonaparte: "Your Majesty, Marcel Jerug has completely investigated Biffet's problem, and he is now in the Elysee Palace.
Backdoor, do you want to see him?"
Jérôme Bonaparte picked up the pocket watch in his hand and glanced at the time.
It was already around 4 o'clock in the afternoon. He nodded and ordered Pesini to bring Marcel Jerug in.
Under the leadership of Pesini, Marcel Jerug came to the Elysée Palace study again.
"Your Majesty, it is a great honor to meet you again!" Marcel Jerug said hello to Jerome Bonaparte with his expression still pious and with a hint of fanaticism.
"Sit down!" Jérôme Bonaparte stretched out his hand to invite Marcel Jerug.
Marcel Jerug sat down opposite Jerome Bonaparte excitedly.
With his body pressed against the back of the chair and his hands clasped tightly on the desk, Jérôme Bonaparte asked with a smile: "How is the investigation going?"
Marcel Jeruger, who was talking about work, instantly turned serious and said: "Your Majesty, according to our investigation, Bife has indeed occupied land in the countryside! Not only that, we also found that in Bife's home..."
Marcel Jerug looked troubled, thinking about how to explain it to Jerome Bonaparte tactfully.
"What else is going on? You might as well be bolder!" From the expression on Marcel Jerome's face, Jérôme Bonaparte was sure that Minister Bieffe must be involved in some big event in the country, and he encouraged Marcel Jerome.
grid.
“We learned from Minister Biffe’s maid that there are a large number of female costumes hidden in Minister Biffet’s bedroom, and even Minister Biffet himself may have some small hobbies! Through interviews, we found that Biffet seemed to be sleeping with some men.
Very close!" Marcel Jerug tried his best to describe Bife's behavior in euphemistic language.
Damn it, a woman dressed as a male ketone?
Jerome Bonaparte also had a strange expression on his face.
In this morally conservative 19th century, both women's clothing and men's clothing were regarded as symbols of immorality.
Living in Paris does require a forgiving heart, but that doesn't mean you can do whatever you want that challenges the moral bottom line.
Jérôme Bonaparte himself did not expect that the sanctimonious Minister Biffet would actually be at the forefront of the progressive forces in Paris.
Thinking of this, Jérôme Bonaparte couldn't help but shudder, and goosebumps appeared on his arms.
This is not over yet, Marcel Jerug then broke the news: "We also found that when Minister Biffe was not at home, his wife often brought three or five men for "friendly" discussions and exchanges!"
The four words "Gather the crowd to xx" appeared in Jérôme Bonaparte's mind.
There are a lot of political couples in Paris, but that doesn't mean you can gather in a crowd to express your love.
For the Party of Order, which advocates moral order, the behavior of Mr. and Mrs. Biffe simply breaks through the lowest limit of moral order.
Jérôme Bonaparte, who originally only wanted to make a fuss about annexing land, suddenly discovered that compared with other actions of Minister Bife, annexing land was actually the least serious act of Bife.
"Marcel, thank you for the information!" Jerome Bonaparte glanced at the clock on the table and extended an invitation to Marcel Jerug: "It's getting late, would you like to have something to eat?"
"No need!" Marcel Jerug, who knows how to advance and retreat, responded: "It is an honor for me to serve His Majesty!"
"Mr. Pesigny!" Jérôme Bonaparte ordered Pesigny beside him: "Send Marcel a favor for me!"
"yes!"
Pesini nodded and led Marcel Jerug out of the study.
Under the leadership of Pesini, Marcel Jerug once again came to the back door of the Elysee Palace.
When leaving, Pesini said: "Well done! It can be seen that His Majesty is very satisfied with you!"
"Thanks to Secretary-General Pesini for your cultivation!" Marcel Jerug said with a hunched body and a nod.
"Keep working hard! Maybe in a few months, you will be the boss! By then, I should call you Director Marcel!" Pesini hinted half-jokingly and half-seriously to Marcel Jerug.
.
Pesini's hint made Marcel Jerug's heart beat faster. He understood that the president might want to attack the cabinet.
Once the cabinet falls, a large number of civil servants who are dependent on politicians will fall.
The vacancy needs someone to fill it, and your opportunity will come.
Under Pesini's hint, Marcel Jerug further strengthened his determination to defect to Bonaparte.
After Marcel Jerug left, Pesini returned to the study.
"Pessini, could you please come?" Jérôme Bonaparte handed an invitation to Pesigny and said: "Give this invitation to Minister Biffet and ask him to come and honor it!
