"Can you tell me what prompted you to make this decision?"
Jerome Bonaparte looked at the future socialite who had regained his strength in surprise, and he admitted that he had indeed underestimated the child's resilience.
It is really too much to ask a thirteen-year-old child to bear the hope of the unification of the entire Italian nation.
So when Cavour decided to use the "honey trap" against him, Jérôme Bonaparte did have some contempt for Cavour, and even had an unfriendly attitude towards Vernia.
"Your Majesty!" Vernia responded affectionately to Jerome Bonaparte with her emerald eyes: "When I was very young, my grandfather told me the story of that Majesty! He often
I am also proud to serve the Bonaparte family, so I volunteered to come to the Tuileries Palace. I hope you can save the Italian nation like the original emperor... I admit that I have this intention
I came here for the purpose! As for why I stay here, I want to witness the rise of another great man with my own eyes! I feel extremely honored to be able to follow behind a great man!"
Jerome Bonaparte looked at Vernia's charming eyes, and he saw sincerity and passion in them.
After ruling out the possibility that Vernia was a "thousand-year-old fox", Jérôme Bonaparte believed that about 90% of what she said was trustworthy.
Unless Jérôme Bonaparte is really mistaken.
"The relationship between you and Cavour..." Jérôme Bonaparte asked Vernia again.
"Cavour is my cousin!" Vernia replied decisively.
Jerome Bonaparte pretended to be surprised and glanced at Vernia, and asked in astonishment: "No way! Cavour is almost ready to be your father!"
"Distant cousin! In fact, we can only share a common bloodline dating back three generations!" Vernia decided to reveal all the connections between herself and Cavour.
"The purpose of Cavour asking you to come is to spy on French politics!" Although Jérôme Bonaparte's tone was ordinary and calm, his micro-expression revealed an aura of calmness.
The courage that thirteen-year-old Wilnia finally mustered up was completely lost in the blink of an eye. She shook her head like a rattle and said: "No...no! Cousin Cavour just hopes that I can stay.
Being around you makes you feel the enthusiasm of the Italian nation for the cause of unification, and we have no intention of spying on French politics!"
Although Wilnia is indeed a little simple-minded sometimes, she does not dare to be careless in the slightest on key issues.
Once this guy is caught in front of him, the Kingdom of Sardinia will probably face disaster.
Thinking of this, Wilnia's body couldn't help but tremble, and she felt a little regretful about what she had done.
I will become a sinner!
Just when Vernia thought that he and the Kingdom of Sardinia were about to end, Jérôme Bonaparte strode up to Vernia, stretched out his right hand and flicked Vernia's head: "From now on
, you are now my full-time secretary!”
"Huh? Ah!" Vernia opened her mouth in surprise. She couldn't understand why Jerome Bonaparte appointed her as his full-time secretary.
"As Lord Chancellor of the Seal, Morny also serves as the head of the secretary's office, and my full-time secretary is really overworked. I might as well just let him work full-time with the department!" Jérôme Bonaparte decided to reorganize the secretary's office.
planning.
The Chief of the Secretary's Office originally served as the leader of the leadership team that connected the Secretariat's Office with the Cabinet, but now it was dedicated to serving Jérôme Bonaparte alone, which was overkill.
Fourteen years old is fourteen years old. Anyway, if you don't pay wages, it doesn't count as child labor.
"Me? Full-time secretary?" Vernia looked at Jérôme Bonaparte in surprise. She couldn't believe her ears.
When can women hold official positions in government departments? (Except for the position of king)
"From now on, you are the first female official!" Jérôme Bonaparte patted Vernia on the shoulder and said: "Before you serve as secretary, you must conduct systematic study!"
"Study!" When Wilnia heard the word "study", she felt dizzy. These were the two words she hated the most.
Although she is said to be very talented in learning, she chose to lie flat on her back.
"In addition to learning Chinese law, you also need to learn how to write manuscripts..." Jérôme Bonaparte Linzong listed a lot of things she needs to learn, including social etiquette, piano, German, law...
…
"After learning this, you will be able to become a truly useful person to society, instead of being a vulgar person who only relies on your beauty like you are now! When you understand everything, go and take a look at the situation in the Apennines that you love.
Believe me, you will have a new feeling!" Jerome Bonaparte encouraged Vernia.
Perhaps even Cavour could not have imagined that the beauty he had worked so hard to prepare for Jérôme Bonaparte would actually send her to study.
When they were in the Apennine Peninsula, countless princes, nobles, ambassadors and consuls were hoping that Wilnia would grow up quickly and have a happy marriage.
Vernia, who should have had a chance to lie flat, began her own forced involution.
In the next few days, with the help of Mathilde Bonaparte, Jerome Bonaparte finally found teachers for all the courses for Vernia.
Most of the teachers are women, and etiquette classes are conducted by Mathilde Bonaparte herself.
From then on, Vernia lived a life of forced involution. Jérôme Bonaparte was also "ridiculed" by Mathilde Bonaparte: He was doing this unnecessary!
Jérôme Bonaparte immediately retorted, saying that he preferred women with knowledge and literacy, preferably those who were cultivated by himself.
Throughout March, Jérôme Bonaparte and Vernia were busy.
Jérôme Bonaparte was busy dealing with various trivial matters at home and abroad. He implemented small-scale economic reforms internally and constantly tested the attitudes between Austria and Prussia externally.
Vernia, on the other hand, was undergoing an accelerated involution, and she had cursed Jerome Bonaparte countless times in her heart.
In early April, the temperature in Paris remained almost the same as in March.
However, compared with the warm and humid weather in March, the weather in April is a bit lingering.
The light rain pattered on the glass window of the study, making a ticking sound. Looking out through the raindrop-stained glass window, the whole of Paris seemed to be shrouded in rain and fog.
"It rains heavily during the Qingming Festival..." Jérôme Bonaparte, who was surrounded by no one at the moment, once again recited Du Mu's poem and couldn't help but sigh.
Several years have passed since I traveled through time, and I still don’t know what the situation is like over there!
The only thing Jérôme Bonaparte hoped for was that his parents would not be sad for him.
…
After the brief sadness was over, Jérôme Bonaparte returned to his seat again and devoted himself to new plans.
After looking through the list of people pardoned by the police department, Jérôme Bonaparte randomly sketched a few names and closed them.
The vast majority of the amnesty lists submitted by the police department include members who were included on the list for political crimes.
Since the coup of December 1850, Jérôme Bonaparte had released a number of political criminals every few months.
The release here is not to let them return to their hometown, but to drive them out of France.
It doesn't matter whether it's Belgium or England.
These political prisoners can basically do anything except not being able to return to their home country.
As far as Jerome Bonaparte knew, his "old rival" Victor Hugo was brazenly waging a "battle" against Jerome Bonaparte in France.
Jérôme Bonaparte did not pay much attention to those people who were exiled overseas.
After taking control of the newspapers in France, Jerome Bonaparte has completely cut off the channels for information exchange with the outside world.
Any prohibited products need to be inspected before they can enter France, and convenient communication tools such as the telegraph are also under the control of Jérôme Bonaparte.
It can be said that the ears and eyes of Paris have been completely blocked by Jérôme Bonaparte.
After releasing the political criminals, Jérôme Bonaparte put aside the information from the Police Department and turned to the appointment and dismissal lists of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
Since the Ambassador Extraordinary and Plenipotentiary is an important position in itself, it is simply impossible for him to be selected by the Minister of Foreign Affairs and then take office.
Almost all appointments and removals of diplomatic ambassadors must be approved by Jérôme Bonaparte for the second time before they can be actually implemented. Jérôme Bonaparte looked through them from top to bottom and found that the vast majority of ambassadorial positions did not have
What changes occurred, only the appointment of the French ambassador to Constantinople surprised Jérôme Bonaparte.
"De Ruys actually suggested appointing Valette as Ambassador Extraordinary and Plenipotentiary to Constantinople?" Jérôme Bonaparte felt a little incredible.
It stands to reason that De Luys, who advocates order in his heart, would never let Valette become an ambassador. Only those who love war would be willing to appoint him.
This is probably because Valette himself holds an extreme Catholic position and advocates a tough attitude towards the Ottoman Empire and the Russian Empire to protect the rights of the Latin Church from being eroded.
It is entirely possible that this tough attitude could lead to a war between the Russian Empire and the French Empire.
"What did De Ruys think? Let a member of the Quai d'Orsay hold such an important position!" Jerome Bonaparte said to himself.
The so-called "Porte d'Orsay" is a powerful clergy lobby group within the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. What they are best at is linking things in the Holy Land with the fate of France, so as to achieve the purpose of inspiring people.
