Jerome Bonaparte had a long chat with Pius IX, during which Pius IX asked about the existing problems in Rome, and Jerome Bonaparte tried his best to respond to Pius IX one by one.
As night fell, at the invitation of Pius IX, Jerome Bonaparte felt at home. At the banquet, Pius IX talked to Jerome Bonaparte about many things about the emperor in the army.
He lamented that if the emperor had not failed, he might still have stayed in the French army, and maybe even become a general.
Jérôme Bonaparte expressed compliments that Pius IX's current achievements were far beyond those of French generals.
The two people with their own thoughts left amidst "joy and laughter".
Jerome Bonaparte, who left the banquet hall of the Apostolic Palace, was guided by the priest and got into the carriage specially prepared for him by Pius IX.
The carriage slowly left the Vatican Palace. Jerome Bonaparte, half lying in the carriage, recalled everything he had done today, and a smile appeared on his lips.
He has done everything he can. How the Papal State will proceed in the future depends on Pius IX himself.
…
On the other side of the Vatican Palace, Pope Pius IX was not idle either.
While it was still dark, he urgently summoned a group of cardinals loyal to him, as well as Bishop Muzzarelli and the future first prime minister of the Papal State, Perelino Rossi.
[Perelino Rossi: July 13, 1787 - November 16, 1848, an Italian economist, politician, and lawyer. He served as the French ambassador to the Papal States during the July Monarchy. After the fall of the July Monarchy, he was
Invited by Pius IX to serve as the first Prime Minister of the Papal States, he was assassinated in the Clerical Palace on November 16.]
The cardinals who were forcibly awakened by Pius IX listened to the Pope's "admonition" with sleepy eyes.
The current situation was really not the time to discuss it in detail. Pius IX could only tell the cardinals the suggestions put forward by Jérôme Bonaparte in a short story.
The cardinals, who have long been immersed in internal strife in the religious world, are not very good at fighting for political power in the secular world. They turned their attention to Perelino Rossi, who was recently hired by the Pope.
Perelino Rossi listened carefully to what Pius IX said, and after thinking for a long time, he said: "Your Majesty, I think this is feasible! We can form a party loyal to the Pope like France did, and during the election,
A highly respected priest is in charge!"
Perelino Rossi's words did not arouse silent resonance among the cardinals, and certainly did not arouse their opposition. They were waiting for Pius IX's response like a human sculpture.
"Let's do this for now! However, we have to do it step by step, starting from the economic year!" Pius IX, who had not completely lost his will to reform, decided to try it first. If the reform fell into deep water, he would retreat.
.
With the "unanimous" consent of the cardinals and the approval of the Pope, the Papal States once again launched vigorous reforms in order to ease social conflicts.
On June 1, Pius IX gave a solemn sermon in St. Petersburg Church and announced why in response to the calls of the people of the Papal State, the Papal State is expected to start reforms in July.
For a time, the whole of Rome was cheering for joy. Almost everyone was cheering for the Pope's "enlightenment", and the demonstrations disappeared without a trace overnight.
Moderate liberals, extreme liberals and even republicans are waiting for the beginning of the reform of the Papal States.
Jérôme Bonaparte just observed Rome's every move with a cold eye and continued to write the unfinished "Catholic Economic Ethics".
On June 10, two letters from France made Jerome Bonaparte very excited.
The writers of the letter were none other than Pesini and Roulomaet. In the letter, Pesini told Jérôme Bonaparte about the funeral of his cousin Louis Napoleon.
After Louis Napoleon's body entered France, he was admired by the French people. There was an endless stream of people seeing him off from Calais to France. Along the way, major mainstream newspapers were like sharks smelling blood and went all out to praise Louis Napoleon.
"Great achievements".
After the body arrived in the Seine Province, it was welcomed back by the governor Lamartine and François Arago. All the citizens of Paris came to watch, and there was unprecedented harmony in Paris.
Under the auspices of Lamartine and Arago, the body of Louis Napoleon was placed next to the body of the Roman king in the Invalides with the name of the republican hero.
After the funeral, the whole of Paris got to know the legendary Prince Louis Napoleon.
In Rouet's letter, Jérôme Bonaparte learned about the dynamics of Bonaparte's party members, as well as about his two cousins and his father, Jérôme Bonaparte Sr.
Rouet implicitly pointed out that after the body of Louis Napoleon was returned, his cousin Pierre Bonaparte wanted to take his place and become the new leader of the Bonaparte family.
Due to the lack of recognition from Bonaparte's party members and the opposition of his father Jérôme the Elder and his sister Mathilde, his cousin had no choice but to participate in the election with Lucien Murat.
Since then, two members of the Bonaparte family (father Jérôme Sr. and cousin Pierre Bonaparte) have participated in the elections and become members of parliament. Their names are also mentioned in the coffee shops in Paris along with some heroic events in the United Kingdom.
The museum spread [Rouet’s suggestion], and even the literary salon spread his name [his sister Mathilde’s contribution].
On the day he wrote the letter (June 4), his vote count in the Seine Province was already ranked fourth, not far behind Thiers, who was third. [ps: There are rumors that Thiers
Yell used bribe money to cheat to win votes], and in Corsica, Jonne Province, and Bas-Charente Province, he obtained the number of votes with an overwhelming advantage, which means that as long as he wants to, he can
Entering the French land in a grand manner as these three regional councilors.
Lamartine's agreement could not impose any constraints on him at all.
However, Jerome Bonaparte would not do this. He would abide by his agreement with Lamartine.
Even though Lamartine's time in power is numbered.
After reading the envelopes from Pesigny and Rouet, Jérôme Bonaparte let out a sigh of relief, shook his head and said to himself: "Oh! The Bonaparte family!"
After speaking, he took out the scrap paper from the drawer and wrote letters to Pesini and Ruet respectively.
After the two letters were bound, Jérôme Bonaparte called Leti over and handed the two letters to Leti. Then he handed Leti a note of 300,000 francs and asked him to pay the money together with the envelope.
To finance the activities of Bonapartist partisans in Paris.
