The Earl of Chambord's stubbornness made the Duke of Broglie and Bailey feel an indescribable powerlessness in their hearts. Even though they tried their best to carry the monarch in front of them into the French Palace, the Earl of Chambord could not think of anything.
The meaning of appreciation.
Like his grandfather, he always lives in a dream of his own making.
At this time, the Duke of Broglie wholeheartedly agreed with what Prince Polignac had said to him, that their monarch, Henry V, was a monarch who did not know how to adapt.
God! Why did you give him birth to this unfortunate family? Don't you no longer care for it?
For the first time, the Duke of Broglie felt that God no longer seemed to care for Bourbon, otherwise how could they have such a monarch.
Even His Majesty Louis XVI was better than this stubborn king!
Just as Duke Broy was feeling confused and depressed, Count Chambord's next words completely pushed Duke Broy into the abyss.
"Duke Broy, I want to issue an edict to France!" Count Chambord said to Count Broy in a solemn tone: "I will never cooperate with the descendants of the regicide... Any French parliamentarian who is willing to support me
Collaboration with regicides is not allowed..."
The faces of the Duke of Broglie and Bellier changed with surprise. The last time Count Chambord's order to refuse cooperation was only spread on a small scale, they were able to fool them; this time Count Chambord actually wanted to tell the whole of France!
The Duke of Broglie has reason to believe that once Count Chambord's order spreads to France through newspapers, many orthodox aristocratic members who have been disillusioned will most likely turn to Bonaparte because of their disillusionment, as will those Orleans members.
He would sever ties with the Orthodox Church because he could not bear the "insult" of Count Chambord.
"Your Majesty, you must not!" Duke Broy's face changed drastically and he shouted hurriedly.
"Why!" Count Chambord showed a trace of boredom on his face. At this moment, he somewhat disliked the "nosy" Duke of Broglie in front of him.
Facing Count Chambord's disgusted expression, Duke Broglie's heart felt as if he had fallen into a bottomless ice cave.
Even though the Count of Chambord treated him like this, in order to repay the Bourbon dynasty for hundreds of years of kindness, the Duke of Broglie still patiently stated his interests to the Count of Chambord: "Once your order is issued, we will kill him together."
The alliance formed by the monarch will inevitably suffer heavy losses, and Bonaparte hiding in the dark will probably become the biggest winner."
However, the Duke of Broglie's earnest advice did not make Count Chambord realize the seriousness of the matter, but instead inspired his "rebellious" mentality as a monarch.
Okay! You don’t want to do it, right? Then I’ll do it myself!
Feeling "humiliated" in his heart, the Count of Chambord decided to spare the Duke of Broglie and Bailey and send a message to France. However, before his edict reached Paris, the Count of Chambord had to paralyze them.
Thinking of this, Count Chambord concealed his dissatisfaction and regained a pleasant expression on his face. It seemed that he understood the Duke of Broglie's good intentions.
"I understand!" Count Chambord still did not change his arrogant nature. He waved his hand and issued an order to expel the guests: "Duke Broglie, Mr. Bailey, I want to go out for a walk!"
The Count of Chambord's disguise successfully deceived the Duke of Broglie and Bailey. They looked at each other and saw a trace of relief in each other's eyes.
The Duke of Broglie and Bailey bid farewell to the Count of Chambord one after another. After the two dedicated orthodox members left, the Count of Chambord's expression changed from calm to gloomy, and he muttered: "Reverse
Words like "thief, judge thief".
After venting his anger in the lonely living room, Duke Richelieu was summoned again by Count Chambord.
"Your Majesty!" Duke Richelieu bowed humbly and responded to Duke Chambord.
"Your Excellency," the Count of Chambord explained to the Duke of Richelieu the "transgression" of the Duke of Broglie and Bellier in a cordial and respectful tone.
"They are so bold!" Duke Richelieu, who was secretly delighted, angrily denounced Duke Broglie in a righteous tone.
"That's right! So I want you to convey the order to France on my behalf!" Count Chambord once again told Duke Richelieu what he had just said in front of Duke Broglie.
"Please rest assured! I will definitely complete the task assigned by you!" Duke Richelieu assured Duke Chambord.
"My friend!" The Duke of Chambord looked at the old Duke who had some wrinkles in front of him. He sighed and said, "You are the only one who truly understands me!"
The Duke of Richelieu also showed a moved expression, and he once again assured the Count of Chambord that he would faithfully convey this order to France.
At this time, the Count of Chambord and the Duke of Richelieu did not know what kind of situation their orders would create for France.
On September 20, when the Duke of Broglie and Bellier, who had returned from Ems, were merging under the guise of the Count of Chambord, an "open letter" from the Duke of Chambord spread throughout Paris through newspapers.
For a time, the whole of Paris exploded again. The orthodox faction looked at the contents of Count Chambord's "open letter" in astonishment. They felt a sense of humiliation and betrayal.
And the person who betrayed them was none other than the monarch to whom they were loyal.
"We are finished!" When Thiers on Povaldi Street saw the "open letter" published in the newspaper, his mind went blank.
After a while, Thiers reacted with a wry smile on his face. He sat slumped on the sofa and thought about what he had done in the past two years.
"I never thought! There would be a stupid pig among my teammates!" Thiers couldn't help but cursed at Count Chambord.
Even though he had considered that the merger of the Orleanists and the Orthodox would be affected, he never thought that the Orthodox monarch would use this method to cut off the possibility of their merger.
Who gave him this trick that would cause zero damage to the enemy and cause 10,000 damage to himself?
Just when Thiers was thinking about how to preserve his vitality as much as possible, the members of Orleans, headed by Speaker Dupin, came to the Rue Purvati in a panic.
"Mr. Thiers, what should we do now?"
"Yes! Mr. Thiers, what should we do?"
"Mr. Thiers, think of a solution quickly!"
The Orleanists spoke to Thiers one by one, and they seemed to regard Thiers as their backbone.
Thiers also lived up to expectations, with a faint smile still on his face, as if everything was within his expectations.
"Don't worry, everyone, this little difficulty can't defeat us!" Thiers comforted the Orleans faction members. He didn't want the Orleans faction to collapse. "What I want to do now is to ask the Duke of Broglie and Mr. Bellier what happened.
What’s going on!”
Thiers found an outlet for the panicked Orleans faction, and the Orleans faction MPs finally found a target that could relieve their tension.
"Yes! Ask clearly!"
"that's right!"
…
Surrounded by the Orleanist deputies, Thiers and his party marched towards the Duke of Broglie's mansion.
At this time, the Mansion of Broglie was also very lively. After seeing the open letter and staying in Paris, the orthodox parliamentarians went to the residence of the Duke of Broglie. They wanted to ask the Duke of Broglie for an explanation.
"Your Excellency, what is going on here? What does our monarch want to do?"
"Duke Broy, what on earth have you done!"
…
Many orthodox aristocratic members began to criticize Duke Broy. They believed that the reason for all this was the situation caused by Duke Broy's disobedience to Count Chambord.
The Duke of Broglie had no intention of refuting, and a bitter smile appeared on his lips, recalling in his mind the scene when his father asked him to always be loyal to the Bourbon dynasty.
I am a pathetic clown!
When Duke Broy looked at his actions again, he found that he was acting like a circus clown.
Not only did he not gain the approval of the monarch, his former colleagues also criticized him verbally and in writing.
The Duke of Broglie's verbal abuse did not last long. A servant hurriedly broke in and reported to the Duke of Broglie: "Your Excellency, Mr. Thiers is here!"
The orthodox parliamentarians stopped quarreling with each other and once again turned their attention to the Duke of Broglie.
"Is there anyone else besides him?" Duke Broy asked the servant.
"There is a group of people behind him, it seems... they seem to be here to protest!" the servant responded to Duke Broy.
"Bring them all in!" Duke Broy responded to his servants.
Not long after the servants left, Thiers and the Orleanists came to Broy and others.
The Orleans MPs glared at the Orthodox MPs, and the Orthodox MPs were not to be outdone and retaliated with their eyes.
"Mr. Duke, I need an explanation!" Thiers' voice was not very loud, but his tone was extremely firm, as if nothing could shake his desire to know the truth.
"If I tell you, I don't know! Do you believe it?" Duke Broy's tone was calm, but he answered without any doubt.
Thiers had a surprised look on his face. He believed the Duke of Broglie's words after reading countless people.
"What should we do now?" Thiers once again asked about Duke Broy's attitude. As long as Duke Broy didn't say no, they still had a chance.
This time Thiers misjudged the Duke of Broglie. The Duke of Broglie looked at Thiers with tired eyes and said: "Mr. Thiers, we will follow the will of the monarch! The authority of the monarch cannot be questioned!"
As soon as these words came out, the whole living room was in an uproar. None of them expected that these words would come out of the mouth of Duke Broy.
After the Duke of Broglie said these words, the Orleans faction and the orthodox faction were completely torn apart.
