When Valewski arrived at Purvati Street, Purvati was already surrounded by people.
The lieutenant colonel of the second battalion of the second regiment of the third brigade who was stationed here quickly saluted Walewski after seeing Walewski's arrival.
Walewski also dismounted and returned the favor to the lieutenant colonel's camp, and then asked: "Where is Senator Adolphe Thiers now?"
The lieutenant colonel and battalion commander pointed at the Adolphe Thiers mansion and responded: "Adolphe Thiers has been detained at the mansion and is waiting for your handling!"
"Yes!" Walewski nodded and affirmed the lieutenant colonel.
The lieutenant colonel who got Valewski had a smile on his face.
"Did the prisoner show any excessive resistance during the detention?" Walewski asked the lieutenant colonel again.
After recalling it for a moment, the lieutenant colonel replied: "Not at all! The prisoner was much calmer than we thought, as if he had expected all this to happen!"
Worthy of being Thiers!
Walewski couldn't help but admire Adolphe Thiers' mentality, and he couldn't help but adjust the threat level of Adolphe Thiers in his heart.
"Give me your pistol!" Lieutenant Colonel Walewski, who was on a mission, stretched out his hand and commanded.
The lieutenant colonel was startled for a moment, and then quickly handed the revolver he carried to Walewski.
"Just wait here!" Walewski hid the revolver in his pocket and gave the order to the lieutenant colonel and battalion commander.
"Your Excellency Secretary-General, I'd better find two people to protect you!" The lieutenant colonel, who was worried about Walewski's safety, suggested to Walewski.
"No need!" Walewski rejected the lieutenant colonel's request. "Since the prisoner already knows his order, there will be no fierce resistance! I can go alone!"
The lieutenant colonel listened to Walewski's words and stopped at the gate of Adolphe Thiers' mansion to wait for Walewski.
Walewski opened the door of the mansion alone. On the sofa in the living room of the mansion, Walewski saw Adolphe Thiers lying on the sofa.
At this time, Thiers had just taken a nap, and Walewski's arrival quickly woke Adolphe Thiers up.
"It's you!" Adolphe Thiers looked at Walewski with a surprised look on his face, as if he was surprised by Walewski's arrival.
"What? Are you surprised?" Walewski sat on the sofa minding his own business. He picked up the Bordeaux wine placed on the table and took a look at it, then put it gently on the table and said in a frivolous tone.
: "At this critical moment, Councilor Thiers is still in the mood to drink! He is really in a good mood!"
Adolphe Thiers did not take Valewski's somewhat sarcastic words to heart at all. His gentle tone was like treating an old friend reunited after a long absence: "You shouldn't be talking to Jérôme.
.Do you want Bonaparte to stay together and enjoy the joy of victory? I didn’t expect that he would still want to see me, a loser!"
"Loser?" Valewski said with a playful smile: "I'm afraid in your heart, you are not a loser, right?"
"That's right!" Thiers nodded and acknowledged Valewski's words. He also picked up Bordeaux wine, drank a glass and raised his glass to Valewski: "Would you like to have a glass too!"
"Of course!" Walewski nodded and responded to Thiers.
Thiers stood up and took out a brand new glass from the cupboard, placed it in front of Valewski, and drank a glass of wine for Valewski.
"Cheers!" Walewski said with a smile.
"Cheers!" Thiers also smiled.
The wine glasses clashed together, making a crisp and sweet sound, and Valewski and Thiers drank the wine in one gulp.
After drinking a whole glass of wine, Thiers had a hint of drunken flush on his face, and his eyes were slightly blurred: "Valewski, you won! You won beautifully!" Thiers also said
Er sighed softly and complained to himself: "When we all thought that you would launch a coup as early as next year, you actually chose to launch it at the end of this year!"
Thiers paused and said with a wry smile: "I have to admit, this is a perfect blow! Mr. Walewski, you will completely defeat us with one blow!"
"Congressman Thiers, can I take this as a compliment from you?" Walewski responded to Thiers.
"It's praise!" Thiers nodded calmly and said, "The winner should receive praise and flowers!"
"Mr. Thiers, just now you said you were not a loser!" Walewski caught Adolphe Thiers' loophole and said.
"Who said there are winners and losers?" Adolphe Thiers smiled and said to Valewski: "I admit that you won, but can you guarantee that you can continue to win?"
Thiers' words sounded a wake-up call in Walewski's heart.
Yes! They did win, and the next thing to do is how to retain this victory as much as possible!
"Bourbon also won with the help of foreign countries, but his victory only lasted 15 years! Bourbon fell and founded Orleans, but it only lasted 18 years! Do you really believe that after that revolution?
, is it possible to build an eternal kingdom?" Thiers asked back, "Didn't a man who was as talented as an emperor still face failure! The people of Paris gave him two chances..."
Walewski remained silent. Based on rational thinking, he also did not believe that the second Bonaparte dynasty could last forever.
"Okay! I really shouldn't say these depressing words when you are victorious!" Thiers changed his offensive. He poured a glass of wine for Wallefs again, and also poured a glass for himself: "Enter
One cup is to celebrate your victory, this cup is to celebrate my getting rid of my stupid party!"
Walewski and Adolphe Thiers clinked glasses again, and drank the second glass of wine in one gulp.
After two glasses of wine, Adolphe Thiers started to talk even more: "You know what? I've had enough of my stupid and shrewd colleagues. Each of them has his own calculation! They never do.
They don't know how to unite. They are not even willing to take risks for the sake of supreme power. They just want to wait quietly for the supreme power to come into their hands. This is simply impossible! I have already expected you to launch a military coup..."
Adolphe Thiers "complained" endlessly to Walewski. He wanted to tell the "victors" all the suffering he had suffered in the Party of Order in the past two years. Anyway, Adolphe Thiers was convinced that Gérault
M. Bonaparte would not kill him. This was an unspoken rule established after the Great Revolution.
No one will be the eternal winner, and reckless killing will only lead to the phenomenon of "people killing people".
But Thiers would never have thought that Jérôme Bonaparte would not kill everyone, but Thiers had already appeared on his assassination list.
"They will even argue endlessly over the ownership of a king, God! Whichever king comes to power is good!" Thiers shouted in "desperation": "The most hateful thing is the nobles, they are like elm trees.
The brains are the same! It doesn’t make sense. Could it be that after decades of staying in the countryside, their brains have completely turned into decorations?”
"They are indeed a bit pedantic!" Walewski replied in a low voice: "Some of them still regard you as regicides and usurpers!"
"If that's all, it's tolerable!" Adolphe Thiers' expression was slightly ferocious, as if he hated iron. "But what happened to their king, that damn Earl of Chambord?"
!If it weren’t for that damn statement he made, why would our party be torn apart! As long as he can sit on the throne, he can do whatever he wants to do next!”
Adolphe Thiers, a utilitarian, could never understand the pride of blood inherited by the nobility. In his opinion, those guys were a bunch of old stubborns.
"It's too late for you to say this now!" Walewski said coldly: "You have failed!"
"Okay! Mr. Walewski, since you said I failed, then I admit that I did fail!" Adolphe Thiers no longer struggled with failure and success, and he continued following Walewski.
Said: "Then what should your Excellency, the President, do with me? Should I be exiled abroad?"
"Your Excellency, the President, will not exile you abroad!" Walewski replied to Adolphe Thiers.
A guy with no political wisdom like Victor Hugo would not cause any harm if he were exiled abroad. If Adolphe Thiers and others were exiled abroad, they would cause more damage than ten Victor Hugos.
.
"I knew it!" Adolphe Thiers breathed a sigh of relief, "For people like me, how dare the president let us out at will! Is the president asking us to withdraw from politics?"
"Barely so!" Walewski was also vague. During his conversation with Adolphe Thiers, he had already felt Adolphe Thiers' "terribleness" up close.
This is an enemy who can never compromise and fight hard!
"That's really great!" Adolphe Thiers smiled and said without any concern to Valewski: "I will always wait as an opposition, waiting for your collapse! No matter if it is ten years or twenty
Years are enough, I believe no government has lasted twenty years! The people of Paris are always fickle!"
"The president hopes that you can join us and become a minister of a certain department!" Walewski made the final solicitation.
"Minister?" Thiers responded disdainfully: "Under Louis Philippe's system, I am already Prime Minister of the Cabinet!"
"That's it!" Walewski sighed, and slowly took out the pistol from his arms under the gaze of Adolphe Thiers.
"Damn it! What are you going to do!" Thiers looked at Walewski in horror. This was different from what he thought!
"Goodbye!" Walewski watched Adolphe Thiers pull the trigger.
