When the meeting was about to begin, the sky in Paris was shrouded by dark clouds coming from nowhere. After a while, bursts of muffled thunder began to sound in the sky. The muffled thunder accompanied by the sound was caused by the force of gravity.
Rain falling on the ground in Paris.
The cold rain fell wantonly on the land of Paris, ruthlessly attacking the people walking on the streets, making the already bustling streets even more desolate under the baptism of rain. The pedestrians who were hit by the sudden rain hid under the eaves.
, waiting for the rain to lighten up.
Even in this weather, horse-drawn carriages were still racing down the street non-stop.
Although these carriages came from different directions, the places they were going to were surprisingly the same.
That is the Louvre located at the end of the Champs Elysées (the Tuileries Palace and the Louvre are already connected). Soon they arrived near the Louvre, and then walked in this gorgeous and magnificent building.
Stopped outside the palace.
"Sir, we're here!" the driver in charge replied to the passengers in the carriage.
After a while, Emile Olivier stepped down from the carriage. He first glanced at the Louvre Museum not far away from him, and then glanced at the carriage parked next to him, with an unconscious look on his face.
There was a hint of sadness.
And in the carriage parked next to Emile Olivier, a gentleman wearing the aristocratic attire of the old dynasty also came out. He glanced at Emile Olivier and the carriage he was riding in, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but
He showed a contemptuous smile.
This kind of class contempt originating from the depths of his soul made Emile Olivier feel an unspeakable humiliation.
At this moment, Emile Olivier wanted to throw his gloves to the opponent and have a truly upright gentleman's contest with him.
However, reason stopped Emile Olivier.
Duel with tickets to the Louvre itself is the greatest disrespect to the emperor.
Emile Olivier suppressed the dissatisfaction in his heart and turned to smile at the other party.
Feeling that his provocation was not responded to, the gentleman showed an annoyed look and angrily entered the Louvre.
Looking at the gentleman's back, Emile Olivier showed a joyful expression on his face.
In any case, he has defeated his opponent on a spiritual level.
Then, Emile Olivier took a few steps forward, came to the coachman's side, threw a silver coin to him, and said to him, "No need to look for it!"
The coachman who took the silver coins immediately showed a bright smile on his face, and he quickly praised Emile Olivier: "I wish you good luck! Gentle sir!"
After speaking, the coachman drove away in his carriage.
Emile Olivier also headed towards the Louvre. When Emile Olivier arrived at the gate of the Louvre, the two soldiers responsible for guarding the Louvre took Emile Olivier
Jesus stopped him and said to him: "Sir, please show me your invitation letter!"
Emile Olivier handed the invitation to the soldier. After reading the invitation, a soldier quickly made way for Emile Olivier.
Emile Olivier followed the path that the soldiers gave way to and entered the Louvre Hall.
At this moment, the lobby of the Louvre was already full of people. Gentlemen wearing different styles gathered in groups, chatting and laughing.
Emile Olivier also began to look for Jules Favre and the others in the hall of the Louvre.
However, Emile Olivier searched around the hall and only found Ernest Piccard and Alfred Darimon, Jacques-Louis Ainon and Jules Favre.
didn't come.
"Picard, what's going on with Favre and Ainon? The meeting is about to start, why haven't they arrived yet!" Emile Olivier looked around and said to his side
Ernest Piccard asked.
"I don't know either!" Ernest Picard shook his head to Ernest Picard.
Mir Olivier said, "It stands to reason that they should be here too!"
Alfred Darimon, who was standing aside, also said to them: "You two don't need to look for it anymore! If I guessed correctly, Enon and Favre will definitely not come over!"
"
"How is that possible!" Ernest Piccard retorted to Alfred Darimon: "Enon told me last night that he would not be absent today!"
"Have you forgotten that Ainon is Favre's best friend! If Favre is not willing to come, I think Ainon will not come!" Alfred Darimon said to Ernest Pi.
Karl responded. "As for Jules Favre... he has been a staunch republican since the time I knew him.
With this stance, he would never compromise at all with the empire.
So naturally they will not attend this meeting. I am afraid that only a few of us will participate in this meeting..."
When Alfred Darimon said this, he suddenly saw the visitors who had just entered, and he quickly changed his words: "And those people who just came in!"
Ernest Piccard and Emile Olivier looked at the door of the room. The people entering the hall at this moment were right-wing republicans who also belonged to the republican camp. (They belonged to a subordinate branch of the republican camp and sat in the legislative group.
Only one seat)
After seeing Ernest Piccard and Emile Olivier, these republicans hurriedly ran to them and said, "Mr. Emile Olivier, Mr. Ernest Piccard
, hello!"
Ernest and Ernest Piccard greeted the right-wing republican with a smile, and then started talking to each other.
[The European left represents radical and progressive, while the right represents conservative.
Right-wing republicans are also conservative republicans. They do not take overthrowing the dynasty as a necessary condition. They can also be called "moderate" republicans.
This moderation does not mean moderation towards the people, but moderation towards the ruling class.]
From this right-wing republican's mouth, Emile Olivier learned that the other party was preparing to break away from the republican framework and join the Bonapartist faction.
"Mr. Piccard, Mr. Olivier, are you also ready to break away from the Republicans?" the leader of the right-wing republicans asked Ernest Piccard and Emile Olivier.
Ernest Piccard and Emile Olivier looked at each other and said at the same time: "There is no such plan yet!"
"I wish you a bright future as a republican!" the right-wing republicans said to them.
…
During the conversation, the time came quickly to 2:55.
At this moment, there is less than 5 minutes left before the meeting begins, and the originally noisy hall has become extremely quiet due to the arrival of the royal steward Basilio.
Basilio glanced at everyone present, and then said: "Everyone, please come with me!"
Everyone in the hall followed Basilio up the stairs covered with big red carpets and arrived at the second floor of the Louvre.
Pushing open the door of the hall on the second floor, everyone saw Jérôme Bonaparte and Augusta wearing the court attire of the First Empire.
After everyone entered the hall on the second floor, the time came to 3 o'clock, and the meeting officially began.
First, Jérôme Bonaparte spoke and said to everyone present in a low and majestic voice, "I am calling you here today for no other reason!
I just want to meet you people. You should all know that an assassination took place at the entrance of the Paris Opera House two days ago.
The protagonists of this assassination were me and Augusta. Fortunately, the assassins who assassinated me were not Frenchmen, but people from the Apennine Peninsula.
…
However, I still don't understand why my assassin came from the Apennine Peninsula. I don't seem to have done anything harmful to the citizens of the Apennine Peninsula.
Why Yaping
People from the Ningbo Peninsula want to assassinate me. After thinking about it for two days, I still can't figure it out.
It wasn't until Pesini pried open Orsini's mouth in the morning that I understood!
The reason why I was assassinated was entirely because I did not follow the Carbonari Party’s ideas!
So they became angry and came over to assassinate me, trying to establish a regime that could help them unify the Apennine Peninsula after assassinating me!
..."
Speaking of this, Jérôme Bonaparte couldn't help but cursed, "What nonsense is this! They have no ability to unify the Apennine Peninsula on their own, so they set their sights on France.
We are trying to get France to sell our blood to help them build a peaceful and unified country. I still remember the last time we did this, it was during the period of Louis XVI, and the result was a war that resulted in the United States of America.
Not only did we not make any money, we also owed a lot of debt!
Even the state of Louisiana was taken advantage of by the United States, not to mention that the United States of America stood with Britain when we were fighting against Britain!
Even if I keep a dog, he should know who his master is!
As a result, we liberated thirteen states. Instead of thanking us, the people of the thirteen states stood with the previous invaders.
…
Jérôme Bonaparte's remarks satisfied the clericalists and orthodox in the hall.
As conservatives, what they fear most is that the Second Empire will imitate the First Empire and take action on the Apennine Peninsula. Now Jerome Bonaparte's remarks can be seen as not seeking to change the status quo of the Apennine Peninsula.
"Having said so much, I just want to tell you one thing. I have decided to severely punish the assassin!" Jérôme Bonaparte said to everyone present in a firm tone, "At the same time, find out the mastermind behind the other party.
At the same time, completely destroy the laboratory that gave birth to the murderer."
