At this time, all the upper class people in Paris were gathered in the church, and even many people like Talleyrand and Fouche who had run outside to avoid the guillotine had also returned.
Of course, Paul Barras is also among them. With the 500 ounce gold bar, he is regarded as a member of the Frost faction by everyone, and the degree of attention he receives is completely different from before.
Barras did not waste this advantage and actively talked with people from all walks of life in Paris. A large number of people gathered around him.
This is in sharp contrast to Robespierre. This incorruptible man seemed to be surrounded by a force field, isolating everyone.
Only Saint Just stood within this force field.
In fact, everyone present is not afraid that Robespierre will target them and send them to the guillotine. The main reason why everyone does not gather around Robespierre is because the incorruptible cannot be corrupted, and there is no point in gathering here.
Everyone is talking about this situation.
"Look, the Incorruptible is almost alone."
"Without Frost's military support, he would have been taken down long ago."
"He has always been so alone outside the parliament. Even Danton doesn't come near him anymore."
Saint-Just heard this clearly and said angrily to Robespierre: "They simply cannot understand the brilliance of your ideal..."
Robespierre shook his head slightly, stopping Saint-Just from continuing: "Don't care about the opinions of these mediocre people, we just need to move towards our goal. Besides, I bet Frost will come over to talk to us.
Yes, we are not alone!”
As Robespierre spoke, he glanced at Danton who was talking eagerly to several gentlemen in the distance, and the corners of his mouth twitched slightly.
At this moment, An Ning entered the room and began to greet the guests present, followed by Napoleon, who was also getting married today.
People immediately stopped talking and looked at An Ning and Napoleon. The most attentive people came forward generously and congratulated An Ning loudly.
An Ning responded politely to these people while walking in the direction of Robespierre.
Saint Just noticed that the Incorruptible seemed to be relieved.
General Frost came to Robespierre and gave Robespierre a hug: "I was worried that you would not come if you continued to indulge in official duties."
Robespierre smiled and said: "How is it possible? There is nothing more important in this world than your wedding."
An Ning smiled and patted Robespierre's shoulder gently: "You are my most important friend."
As these words came out, many gentlemen in the room exchanged glances with each other.
Then An Ning pulled Robespierre and turned to look at Danton: "Dandong, my friend, why are you not with Robespierre?"
Dandong's expression stiffened for a moment, and then he said: "Uh, I..."
"We are the three giants of the Jacobins. It's rare to get together, but if we don't stand together, Marat will be sad when he dies." An Ning said.
Danton took a deep breath, then left the group of people around him with an embarrassed look on his face, and walked to Robespierre.
Robespierre held his head high and did not hide his attitude towards Danton at all.
An Ning said: "Maximilian, think about the past, didn't we often have differences before? But we are still good friends who respect each other. If nothing else, you and Dandong got into red-faced arguments several times, didn't you?"
Robespierre took a deep breath, then lowered his raised chin, assuming a more humble posture.
An Ning took Robespierre with one hand and Danton with the other, and said loudly as if he wanted to announce something to the people around him: "We have always been good friends. We were, are, and will be in the future."
Dandong looked at An Ning and his expression softened: "Of course."
Robespierre also nodded: "Yes, we will always be friends."
At this time, Saint-Just applauded from the bottom of his heart. Seeing this, Napoleon immediately applauded harder. After a while, the whole audience burst into applause.
After the thunderous applause fell, Robespierre said to An Ning: "And, happy wedding."
"Let's have fun together." An Ning said the customary Chinese answer without thinking. Fortunately, the translation system perfectly handled the situation and turned it into French slang suitable for this scene.
Then An Ning looked at Robespierre with a half-smile and asked: "Then when can we attend your wedding?"
Robespierre: "Why is this a problem again... Well, after all the traitors and traitors in the country are dead, I will consider getting married. I will, I promise."
Danton curled his lips: "Maximilian, you have killed enough, and many innocent people have also died in the process. It's almost time to stop."
Robespierre glared at Danton and said angrily: "I can't believe this is coming from you, the man who shouted the slogan 'brave, braver, braver' back then! You are an indignant person!"
Dandong immediately retorted: "I can't believe that this is what you, who advocated the abolition of the death penalty, would do! You said back then, 'The death penalty is extremely unjust. It is more effective than preventing crime.'"
Can lead to an increase in crime incidents!'"
Robespierre: “I did not realize at that time the huge deterrent effect of terror. I also did not realize at that time how low the human lower limit is!
"Look at the past four years since the revolution, how many back and forths there have been, how many sacrifices the people have made in vain. There are always people who want to hinder the advancement of the revolution, and there are always people who want to bring back the Bourbon dynasty!
"So we must implement the most extreme measures against them and eradicate them completely!"
Dandong: "You always have a point! But the implementation is not like this. If you don't believe me, ask Andy and see what he thinks!"
An Ning's brows knitted into knots, but he was obviously prepared for the ball being kicked to him.
He said: "Terror is true, and it is indeed necessary to deter those hidden bad elements, but it is also necessary to reduce unjust, false, and wrongful decisions as much as possible. Isn't it just for this that we established the National Salvation Committee and took away the right of trial from the People's Jury?
Are you up?"
Robespierre immediately showed a proud smile: "Yes, we have greatly reduced the possibility of unjust and false accusations! I personally supervised this matter!"
Dandong: "How can you guarantee that you will not be unjust, false or wrong?"
"I am incorruptible!" Robespierre said categorically. "If there is only one person in the world who can remain impartial, it is me!"
As soon as these declaration-like words came out, whispers immediately broke out around him.
An Ning frowned, looked at Robespierre, and hesitated to speak.
