"Uncle, you are actually more suitable to join the Holy See than me!"
There was a hint of loneliness in Lucien Louis's eyes, and his tone was slightly depressed. He didn't understand why his uncle, who had never studied theological system, could write such an article. Is there really a person in this world who is born with knowledge?
?
Thinking of this, Lucien Louis looked at Jérôme Bonaparte with a hint of admiration in his eyes.
Maybe God really has not abandoned the Bonaparte family!
Lucien Louis secretly gave himself hints in order to rationalize.
Jérôme Bonaparte obviously underestimated the huge influence that the article he plagiarized had throughout the 19th century. Judging from Lucien Louis' expression, the effect of the article was indeed good. He remained silent and maintained a cold attitude.
By Lucien Louis.
"Uncle, I have a request!" Lucien Louis said to Jerome Bonaparte with great humility and respect.
"Lucien, our blood is connected! No need to use the word "please", just ask if you need my help!" Jerome Bonaparte responded in a brisk tone.
Lucien Louis shook the manuscript in his hand and said to Jerome Bonaparte: "I hope to be the first reader of your magnificent work!"
"Of course!" Jérôme Bonaparte readily agreed to Lucien Louis' request, then pointed to his head and said, "But you may have to wait for some time. The number of words in this work is
No less than a novel!”
"I'm willing to wait for it!" Lucien Louis continued to compliment: "A masterpiece always requires careful polishing! I believe that His Majesty will also cheer when he sees your work. This is better than a box of treasures."
All are precious things.”
Jerome Bonaparte and Lucien Louis talked for a long time about the content of the article. During this period, Jerome Bonaparte recorded some important contents of the conversation with his pen. Lucien, who is a doctor of theology,
Louis was indeed higher in the field of theology than Jérôme Bonaparte, who was "catching ducks". With the help of Lucien Louis' theological theory, Jérôme Bonaparte once again made it clear that the content of his writing was in line with the
direction and what needs to be deleted.
The two talked from the sun up to nightfall. Jérôme Bonaparte once again invited Lucien Louis to have a simple dinner, and then ordered Captain Leti to send Lucien Louis home safely.
Walking alone in Rome with no street lights and vague signs of unrest is not a wise move.
Captain Letty brought the necessary smoothbore pistol and called a carriage on the streets of Rome. Lucien Louis and Captain Letty sat in the carriage together. Amidst the tinkling of the bells tied with red rope knots on the carriage, the carriage
Slowly disappearing into the night.
Jérôme Bonaparte, who was watching the carriage go away through the window, returned to his desk again to continue working on his unfinished manuscript.
In the remaining four days, Jérôme Bonaparte, in addition to the necessary daily meals, would sit on his desk and write furiously.
After four days of working all night, the introduction to the book was finally completed by Jérôme Bonaparte.
Looking at the piles of papers on the desk, which were densely covered with French characters, Jérôme Bonaparte took a breath and muttered: "It's finally done!"
Then he wiped the sweat from his forehead, closed the dipped pen, sorted out all the manuscripts, and waited for the invitation from the Holy See.
May 23 at 3 p.m.
A black carriage appeared in front of the hotel, and Bishop Muzarelli, wearing a black robe, quietly entered the hotel and knocked on Jerome Bonaparte's door.
"Your Excellency, Bishop!" Jérôme Bonaparte greeted the bishop who reappeared.
"Your Majesty, the carriage is ready! Your Majesty has been waiting at the Apostolic Palace for a long time!" Bishop Muzzarelli said to Jerome Bonaparte.
Under the leadership of Bishop Muzzarelli, Jerome Bonaparte got on the papal carriage.
Captain Letty was left at the hotel to wait for news.
In the carriage, Bishop Muzzarelli first apologized to Jerome Bonaparte: "Your Excellency, I am sorry that we did not use a carriage that matches your status. Your Majesty is afraid that excessive etiquette will attract the attention of other forces in Rome.
!”
Jérôme Bonaparte, who was also unwilling to expose his traces to the eyes of the Roman people, agreed with Bishop Muzzarelli's cautious attitude.
The black carriage started from near the Colosseum, circled most of the city of Rome, and finally arrived near St. Peter's Square.
After the two got off the bus in St. Peter's Square, Jerome Bonaparte entered the Vatican Palace under the guidance of Bishop Muzzarelli.
As soon as he entered the Vatican Palace, Jerome Bonaparte was stunned by the luxury in front of him. The entire hall seemed to be shrouded in a hazy golden layer, with Roman-style domes and Greek-style stone columns and flat floors.
The building with lintels made Jérôme Bonaparte feel as if he was in the ancient Roman Republic. The ceiling of the hall is a "Genesis" pattern made of marbles of different colors, and there are several hangings on the walls.
A gold-rimmed oil painting of the pope. Michelangelo's "Peter" from the Renaissance is in the right corridor, making him feel like he has traveled from ancient Rome to the Renaissance.
The millennium of the Holy See has encompassed almost all cultural heritage from ancient Rome to modern times, and also encompasses original sin starting from ancient Rome.
Jérôme Bonaparte looked at the art collections and gold decorations placed in the Vatican Palace in shock, and he felt an urge to loot the place.
Muzzarelli looked at Jérôme Bonaparte with a smile on his lips. For the first time, he was as shocked as he was by the sight before him.
However, as I came in more and more often, the shock gradually became a habit, and the desire to climb up became more and more intense.
"Your Excellency, it's time for us to leave!" Bishop Muzarelli reminded Jerome Bonaparte.
"Huh? Huh!" Jerome Bonaparte, who had come to his senses, left together with Bishop Muzzarelli.
The two passed through St. Peter's Church and passed through the winding corridors and finally arrived at the Apostolic Palace. Bishop Muzzarelli took Jerome Bonaparte to the study of the Apostolic Palace and then asked Jerome Bonaparte.
Ba said: "Your Majesty is inside!"
Jérôme Bonaparte pushed the door open, and an old man with white hair and a round face appeared in front of him.
In front of Rom Bonaparte.
He was Pius IX, the Lord of the Papal States and God's agent on earth.
