After all, Galois was a young man, and under Aigron's deliberate flattery, he suddenly became very excited and even felt a little dizzy.
Of course, what made him happiest was not the praise from His Majesty the Emperor, but the joy of "encountering a close friend."
For a long time, although he thought he had created an epoch-making discovery, he had always been in the miserable situation of being unappreciated and unknown. No matter how hard he tried to promote his mathematical theory to others, in the end he was either ignored or ignored.
It's ridicule.
It is precisely because of this that he became more and more pessimistic about the world and became cynical. Not only did he make sensitive political remarks, he even openly questioned various measures taken by the school's management, and eventually ended up being expelled from school.
Not long ago, when he was arrested by the police, he even discovered that he would be burdened with a political stain that could not be removed in the future, and it became extremely difficult to find other options outside of academia.
In extreme despair, he even considered committing suicide to escape this cruel world.
However, he really didn't expect that when he fell to the lowest point in his life, hope would come so quickly.
He was cleared of political stigma, and the person who rescued him was actually the king of a country...
Even at this moment, Galois suspected that he was dreaming because it seemed so unreal.
However, the person standing in front of me is enough to prove that all this is not a dream, and God has really taken care of me.
He worked hard to study academics, not for personal glory and wealth, but to explore the palace of knowledge like the sages. And on this destined to be difficult road, how much he hoped to receive encouragement and recognition from the outside world.
It turns out that someone recognized my value after all...
At this moment, republic and empire, radical and conservative, left and right... all kinds of political disputes have eclipsed in his heart, and his resentment seems to have dissipated a lot.
"Your Majesty, thank you." After a brief absence, he solemnly thanked Aiglon, "You have carefully studied my paper and were willing to take time out of your busy schedule to discuss it with me - and approved it.
It is difficult for me to describe my joy at this moment in words. I can only say that if you were not our Majesty but an ordinary university classmate, I would find a way to make you my lifelong friend."
"Even if I am your Majesty, you can still regard me as a friend - at this moment, we are not your Majesty and his subjects, but two young people who are quite intelligent and full of ambition. We are both part of a new era, and
You're trying to change this era, aren't you?" Aigron replied with a smile.
"Changing times?" Galois was a little confused. He had never eaten chicken soup like this.
"Yes, it is to change this era." Aigron waved his hand heavily and firmly conveyed his conclusion to the other party, "As the emperor, I have the obligation to defend the country, and strive to develop industry and economy, and increase the wealth of the people.
All of this is inseparable from the help of scientific progress and technological progress, and science and technology, in the final analysis, rely on the progress of mathematics! Therefore, as a rare mathematical genius in our country, you are much more important than you think... You are just
You have achieved such an achievement at the age of twenty, so who dares to imagine what you can do when you are forty or fifty? At least I am looking forward to it!"
Although part of these words were flattery to build a closer relationship between the two people, part of them were also Aigron's sincere words.
Since the beginning of modern times, French mathematics has been producing talents in large numbers, such as Fermat, Descartes, Fourier, Lagrange, Cauchy... great names are enough to shine in history. It is precisely because of the strong support of mathematics that science
Only then did we have the "reliance" for progress.
And now standing in front of Aigron is a young genius whose talent is definitely not weaker than those of the previous names.
Of course he wants to turn this young man into his support.
At that time, the monarchs of various European countries treated Descartes well, the revolutionary government reused Langrange, and the Restoration dynasty reused Cauchy, so he also used Galois to embellish his era.
Not long ago, he had warmly entertained the equally young talented musician Chopin at the court. However, in his mind, although both men were geniuses, ten Chopins could not be compared with one Galois.
Under the influence of Aiglon, the young Galois couldn't help but feel excited.
His original resistance to Aigron had been thrown out of the window at this moment.
"Then Your Majesty...what do you want me to do?"
"Hahahaha... I hope you don't do anything..." Aigron couldn't help laughing heartily.
Then, he patted Galois on the shoulder, "You only need to continue your previous life and use your talents to study mathematics, and I... can create an environment for you where you can concentrate on your studies without any distractions.
, that’s all I ask of you!”
"But I have been expelled from school..." Galois replied angrily.
"Have you forgotten who is standing in front of you?" Aigron asked with a smile, "I have already written to the Ecole Normale Supérieure and they will soon restore your student status so that you can continue to be interrupted.
Furthermore, attached to the letter is the thesis you wrote, and I ordered the school to study and evaluate your thesis carefully to see that they almost lost a student they could have been proud of!"
"Your Majesty..." The huge impact left Galois speechless for a moment.
However, his impact was not over yet. Aigron continued, "After you resume your student status, I estimate that you will graduate soon. If you don't mind, I think you can stay in school to accept a teaching position, or
You can go to other schools... I believe you can become the youngest professor, because you deserve it! If there is anything else I can ask of you, I hope that after you become a professor in the future, you can teach well while doing academic research.
People, cultivate more valuable young talents for the country, and stop participating in boring political games. That world is my expertise, and it is not suitable for you... France has never lacked politicians who talk about national affairs in pubs, but
There is a shortage of outstanding mathematical geniuses like you, so let the two of us perform our duties..."
Hearing these gentle, sincere, and loving words, Galois, who was already excited, almost shed tears.
"Your Majesty... thank you, I understand." He thanked Aiglon again, "Actually, I don't think you need to do so much for me, but I will work hard for it."
"I wish you all the best, and I have no doubt that you will soon."
Aigron reached out to the opponent again.
But this time, Galois didn't hesitate anymore and directly reached out to shake Aigron's hand.
When the two people first met and shook hands, Aigron was still a little aloof, and there was still a cold distance between the two, but now they seemed to be friends who hit it off.
"I'm sorry, although I want to continue chatting with you about your theory, but there are still many things that must take up my time..." After shaking hands, Aigron sighed, and then said goodbye to the other party, "
Mr. Galois, I regret that I have to force you to stay here for a few days in order to meet us, but we will make up for it - and from now on, you are free.
Now, you can go wherever you want."
Galois was not surprised by this, and he felt relieved.
Since he was suddenly imprisoned, his family has been very worried and would come to visit him from time to time. During this period, he has been secretly kept here, which must be regarded as "missing" in the eyes of the outside world, so his family must have been extremely worried.
Now I should go back early to make them feel at ease.
So the two people began to say goodbye to each other.
"Take good care of yourself." Before leaving, Aigron solemnly told the other party, "You are young and energetic, and it is inevitable that you will be involved in some disputes. Once you encounter such a thing, I ask you not to act on your impulse. You can feel free to do so at any time.
You can go to the Count of Monte Cristo. If you have any trouble, he will help you deal with it - you only need to come here for help. The door here is always open for you. If there is any bigger trouble, you can also
Write to me for help and I will grant you this dispensation."
"I will, Your Majesty!" Galois nodded slightly, "France has finally welcomed a bright-minded monarch. In order for him to continue to recuperate, please take care of yourself."
Although Aigron casually gave a person the "grace" that countless people dream of, Galois was not dazzled by it. For him, his academic achievements were recognized by His Majesty, which was already a kind of self-esteem.
Even though he was satisfied, he did not bother to use this privilege to seek any additional benefits for himself.
Faced with the rare compliment, Aigron laughed and nodded, then turned around and left with the people around him.
After Aigron walked out of the room, Edmund naturally followed him step by step.
When the two young men were talking freely just now, he had stayed by their side, observing and listening silently.
He couldn't understand the part about the academic discussion at all, but from the other parts, he could see that Aigron had great respect for this young man, spoke highly of him, and even gave him his usual most favorable comments.
Give less grace.
Is this young man really that powerful? Is he worthy of being so valued?
He couldn't understand.
However, since this is His Majesty's judgment, he naturally cannot question it.
Whether this kid is really that powerful or just happened to be lucky, it doesn't matter. What matters is that His Majesty thinks it is necessary to do this.
At this time, Aigron looked solemn, as if he was thinking about something.
In his conversation with Galois just now, he was convinced that he had dispelled the other person's world-weariness and reopened the path of life for him that he dreamed of.
To be recognized for his academic achievements, and then become a professor, like those well-known scholars before him, teaching and educating people while climbing the academic mountain - this is the life he wants most, and Aigron can give it to him.
he.
However, will this definitely allow him to change his destiny and get rid of the fate of dying young?
Will he get involved in that unlucky love affair and then have a sudden duel with his mistress?
Theoretically speaking, since the trajectory of his life has changed, Galois should no longer see his original lover, or he should no longer be so keen on fighting for his life... But Aigron does not want to place his hope on 'should'
'above.
He didn't want to spend so much effort only to end up doing nothing.
"Edmund."
So he called softly.
"Your Majesty, what other orders do you have?" Edmund responded immediately.
"For a period of time from now on, you ask your men to keep an eye on him. Well, I don't mean to monitor him, but it should be understood as protection." Aigron thought as he gave the order to the earl, "Don't interfere with his daily life.
Life, but make sure not to let people with malicious intentions approach him, let alone let him get involved in any fatal conflicts for no reason, such as dueling with others, do you understand?"
Aigron's order was very specific. Of course Edmund could understand it, but he didn't understand why His Majesty was suddenly so solemn.
However, of course he would not question Aigron's motives, so he just answered calmly. "Your Majesty, if I arrange protection personnel for him, he will notice it soon. How should we explain to him then?"
What? I don’t think he would like this kind of life of being followed and monitored at all times, even if our original intention is to protect him.”
Aiglon thought to himself, after all, even Galois himself couldn't have predicted in advance that he would fall in love, and then get involved in jealousy, and finally face a fatal duel, right?
No, it's impossible. He will only feel that the count's people are making a fuss and interfering with his life.
For a moment, Aigron was suddenly in trouble.
Suddenly, he seemed to have an idea.
Since you want to change his destiny, why not take a step back?
"Have you recruited any women under your command, young and beautiful ones?"
"Yes, there is..." Edmund replied softly, as if he suddenly guessed what His Majesty wanted to do. "Your Majesty, do you want to..."
"That's right." Aigron nodded.
"But... they have not received similar training..." Edmund couldn't help but complain, "They may be good at putting on makeup and finding out information in conversation, but they are not good at falling in love with a young student."
"That can be trained, right? In my opinion, the latter is simpler... A smart genius is often unexpectedly naive. As long as you use some snacks, he will definitely take the bait -" Aigron finally made up his mind.
Determined. "You pick the most suitable one, then train her well, let her know a little math, and then arrange for them to meet by chance...arrange a date, that's it!"
Edmund was stunned. He wanted to say something more, but Aigron raised his hand to stop him.
"The person who performs this task, please erase all the files here, and then give her a large amount of money, so that she can stay with him peacefully... How long will depend on the situation, at least two years, if
If necessary, it will be longer. If you can't do it...then I will be disappointed in you."
"Yes, Your Majesty!" Seeing that Aigron had made up his mind, Edmund no longer questioned and solemnly accepted his order.
