Relying on An Ning's huge reputation, the two people who were about to be friends were forcibly pulled back from the edge of rupture.
But the atmosphere between the two was still very awkward.
An Ning also understood. After all, the two of them almost had a falling out just now, with cruel words coming to their lips, and then he stepped on the brakes.
It's weird if it's not embarrassing.
An Ning could only patch it up: "By the way, Dandong, I was the one who reported Paul Barras. I intercepted this letter written by Madame Beauharnais to Paul Barras."
Yes, there is hatred directed at me, so that I will not break with Robespierre.
Danton looked at An Ning in surprise: "You also intercepted Mrs. Beauharnais's letter to Barras? Why?"
"Because my fiancée speculated that there would be something in this letter that was not conducive to the Republic, and in fact she was right. Barras put his own interests first, even at the expense of France's interests.
"Under such circumstances, civil strife among the Jacobins will only make the remnants of the Girondins happy. Barras, who expects such a thing, can no longer be trusted."
An Ning stared at Danton as he spoke: "And the same goes for Madame Beauharnais, who has a close relationship with him. It's best for your wife to go to the Chateau Malmaison as little as possible."
Dandong: "I don't care about women's social circles."
"You must take care of it, this is very important." An Ning emphasized, this is to prevent Dandong from continuing to be influenced by Beauharnais.
Dandong: "Okay, you are our leader, you have the final say. But Maximilian, even if it is Andy's report, you can't just make such a hasty decision to send someone to the guillotine."
"Of course there will be a trial, and everything will comply with procedural justice." Robespierre spread his hands, "I will not be vague on this point. I am a lawyer, a qualified lawyer."
Dandong: "You better be."
An Ning: "Of course he is."
In order to prevent the two people from clashing again, An Ning quickly changed the topic: "In addition, I think Barras has an obligation to come to Paris and explain clearly what is said in this letter."
What An Ning was actually thinking at this time was that if he only issued an order for Barras to come back and report on his duties, Barras would misunderstand it and run away overnight.
If he does this, he can order Murat to hunt him down, life or death, in the name of catching traitors.
Of course it would be better if he was dead.
An Ning suddenly discovered that there was actually a lot of bad water in her stomach.
Dandong: "Indeed, I also want to hear why he wants to sow discord with Maximilian and I. We are close friends."
An Ning looked at Dandong and couldn't help complaining: "You have the nerve to say it. If I hadn't been there just now, your friendship would have ended forever."
"How is that possible!" Dandong said nonchalantly, "This is just countless quarrels between friends. I have said harsher things than this, such as wishing Maximilian a lifetime without a wife."
Robespierre: "This is obviously a blessing. Falling in love and getting married are meaningless wastes of time and energy..."
An Ning coughed: "I'm going to get married soon..."
Danton and Robespierre looked at him in shock.
Dandong: "You are finally planning to hold the wedding. This is a great thing!"
Robespierre: "It is a beautiful thing when lovers finally get married."
You just said that getting married is a meaningless waste of time and energy!
Dandong: "You just said that getting married is a meaningless waste of time and energy!"
Robespierre: "Did I say it? Well, yes, I said it, but it depends on who gets married. For me, getting married is a waste of time and energy."
An Ning: "Why? I think the landlady is pretty good."
"Well, don't use this tone to talk about the beautiful new woman who insists on independence." Robespierre said.
An Ning and Dandong exchanged glances, and Dandong's big face had the words "I think there's going to be a show" written all over it.
An Ning also felt that he might be able to bring Robespierre and his landlord together as a couple. The appearance of his wife might soften Robespierre's attitude and prevent him from falling into madness like in real history.
After that, the three of them chatted for a while, and then Dandong stood up and said goodbye: "Okay, it's time to prepare for the National Assembly. We may discuss it late into the night again today."
"Yes, everyone is very enthusiastic about formulating a new constitution." Robespierre said with some pride, "The characteristics of the Republic are clearly revealed, and various beneficial ideas are constantly coming together. This is the age of the Kingdom.
Something that has never happened before.”
An Ning: "After all, the nobles are too stupid."
Napoleon in real history once said that his greatest achievement was the Napoleonic Code, but in fact this code began to be compiled after the Jacobins came to power. Many celebrities in the Revolution contributed, but in the end they were crowned
Napoleon's name.
An Ning: "The code is a very important job, Maximilian. How about you temporarily step down from your current position and concentrate on compiling the code? This will reduce your burden, and leave the rest to me and Dandong."
.”
Yes, if Robespierre had concentrated on compiling the code, he would have definitely avoided the worst outcome.
This is a small challenge launched by the windmill knight Don Quixote Anning against the indescribable existence.
Robespierre actually showed a serious expression on his face.
After a moment, he shook his head: "No, I can't concentrate on compiling the code yet. When I finish the term of the National Assembly, I will naturally concentrate on organizing the compilation of the code."
An Ning remembered that in real history, Robespierre was guillotined by the Thermidorians before he even completed a single parliamentary term.
"Okay, you will finish this term safely." An Ning said with determination.
Robespierre looked at An Ning strangely: "Of course I will finish this term safely. The security in Paris has been much better recently."
Yes, the guillotine keeps clicking, and the criminals who are caught are chopped off directly. It’s no wonder that public security is not good.
If you take a step back and think about it, the Jacobins' policy of terror at least ensured security in Paris.
An Ning: "Then I have to say goodbye. When Barras returns to Paris, I want to attend the inquiry meeting of the National Salvation Committee."
Dandong: "Listen in? You can host it!"
An Ning waved her hand: "No, no, it's better not to be special. I'm a soldier and I'm not suitable to preside over this kind of thing."
After all, France is not South Korea and does not have that tradition - nor is it right. Previously, Lafayette dominated the National Assembly as a soldier.
Thinking about it this way, An Ning can also dispatch Yi Kongshu when necessary in the future... No, it is the direct guard cavalry.
While he was thinking about this, Dandong changed the question: "By the way, when is the wedding?"
"It should be before we head to the Rhine. Christina and his father are already making preparations. It will probably take some time to complete the preparations."
Robespierre: "Then I look forward to it."
"Are you looking forward to the wedding, or are you looking forward to marching to the Rhine?" An Ning asked.
Robespierre: "I look forward to both. I also look forward to you catching the leader of the royal party who fled abroad."
