Eagle’s Glory

Seventy, veteran

【The Glory of the Young Eagle】 【】

After Mrs. Mercedes left, the room fell into silence for a while.

Being so highly recognized by her "predecessor" made Valentine feel moved, but also felt a little proud inside. When she was young, what she lacked most was self-awareness and self-confidence, and now she finally got it.

Of course, this does not mean that the matter is finalized. In the end, everything depends on the count's own opinion.

While Valentine was chuckling, Teresa was also thinking briefly. What she was thinking about was another thing.

At present, although the count is unmarried, he is not single. He and Mrs. Danglars have been "living together" for a long time. With the count's character, he must have deep feelings for this lady, so how to deal with this? Madam, it has also become a difficult matter.

Logically speaking, Emily has a very bad reputation because of some things in the past, and her husband, the banker Danglars, is still in a state of "fleeing in fear of crime." This can be used as an excuse to order her to leave the earl. ——However, forcing Emily and the Earl to separate at this point in time may have the opposite effect and arouse the Earl's resentment.

So she hesitated slightly.

"Valentine, do you know Danglars and her daughter?" Finally, she decided to ask Valentine herself about her attitude.

"I haven't had contact with that lady a few times, but I am familiar with Eugenie. After all, we are the same age... we can be considered friends more or less." Valentine answered honestly, "During the turmoil in Paris before, I was once raped by the count. I took him to his home for refuge, and we got along very well at that time.”

"So, you should know that the relationship between the count and the lady is a bit...unusual, right?" Teresa asked awkwardly.

The young Valentine was obviously several times more embarrassed than Theresa, and she immediately blushed. "I know... they have a very close relationship and live together. I thought they were husband and wife for a while! Later, after my grandpa explained it, I realized that there were so many stories..."

Teresa felt that it was almost blasphemous to say this to a pure child, but now that the matter was over, she had to speak clearly, so she could only hold back her embarrassment and continued to ask Valentine, "Then what do you think about this?" What do you think? Let me be clear, Valentine, what do you plan to do with Danglars and her daughter? After all, it is you who want to be the mistress, and you cannot let her occupy a position that does not belong to her... …”

Valentine's breathing suddenly became rapid.

She understood that at this moment, the fate of Emily and Eugenie, mother and daughter, was in her own hands.

Presumably, if she said now that the mother and daughter must be driven away, Her Majesty the Queen would immediately issue an order, and then the mother and daughter would instantly fall into a state of despair.

She couldn't bear to do it.

"Your Majesty, I think it's best not to drive them away. After all, they are already miserable enough. If they are forcibly driven away, wouldn't my hands be stained with sin from the beginning? My father has been harmed because of his power. I have met too many people, and I don’t want to and can’t do the same thing.…

Besides, I am still young after all, and it is impossible for me to fulfill my wife's... wife's obligations, so Lady Emily is fulfilling my obligations for me. If I drive them away now, wouldn't the Earl be lonely? How long? This is too much...so just leave them there. "

At this point, Valentine blushed and lowered her head out of embarrassment.

"Oh, oh, our lovely Valentine also understands what a wife's obligations are." Teresa couldn't help laughing.

She was also secretly amused in her heart. How could such a child know how to assume the role of "housewife"? She doesn't even understand what marriage means, so she won't be jealous of Emily at all.

But just because she hasn't grown up now doesn't mean she won't grow up in the future. When she reaches marriageable age in a few years, she may have to face a real dilemma.

Teresa felt a little overwhelmed after being involved in it for a while.

As if sensing Theresa's thoughts at the moment, Valentine gently raised her head and looked at Her Majesty the Queen sincerely, "Your Majesty, please don't feel sorry for me. In fact, I think that from an objective point of view, On the contrary, I was the one who took away the things of Lady Emily and Mademoiselle Eugénie... When I was around them, I could feel that they all respected and loved the Earl, and regarded the Earl as their future settler from the bottom of their hearts. However, I broke into their lives and took away the thing that Lady Emily misses most. I feel ashamed of them! So, if I really become the count's wife in the future, I will I will also keep them as friends, and they can also become my family. I lost my mother when I was young, and I also hope to have more family members to accompany me, so everyone can live together happily. Isn’t this good? ?"

Teresa was stunned by Valentine's shocking words. She couldn't tell whether Valentine was too naive or too generous.

However, this is everyone's private life. If she is happy and others are happy too, what can she say?

Besides, your husband also has a confidante left by his side... You can't drive her away.

When she thought of this, Theresa suddenly lost interest.

Forget it, anyway, there are still a few years before Valentine grows up. Then we will see how to deal with the mother and daughter.

"Okay, let's do it according to your opinion now. If you have different opinions in the future, just tell me directly and I will try my best to help you."

After saying this, she looked at Valentine carefully.

Although she despises the cunning and scheming prosecutor Villefort, she has a very good impression of Villefort's daughter. She has such a gentle and compassionate personality, and has the appearance and demeanor consistent with the status of a famous family. She is also so loyal and willing to contribute to the family. No matter what, Teresa felt very close to her.

If you can do this as a child, wouldn't it be limitless in the future?

Of course, children will always be affected by various influences from the outside world as they grow up, and some will even fall into depravity. Teresa hopes that she can take care of Valentine as much as possible in the future so that she can be less contaminated by the outside world. With today's purity and kindness, she became a bride, and then became the most respected wife in the court. ….

Although she couldn't change the customs and concepts of the entire country, she could eventually create a corner of pure land without corruption, and that was enough.

"Valentine, we have done what we should do, so I wish you good luck next. I hope you can succeed, and I am optimistic about you. You can become a role model for the palace in the near future..."

==============================

While Theresa was cordially receiving Valentine, Agron was also receiving the elderly Marquis of Noirtier. However, compared to their side, the atmosphere here in Aiglon is much more serious.

Although neither of them is a completely ruthless political machine, they are both players in the field of power, so they understand the principle of putting business first and private matters second.

Therefore, after meeting, the Marquis of Noirtier first reported his recent work to Aiglon.

Previously, the Marquis of Noirtier assisted Aiglon in stabilizing the domestic situation and personally conducted the referendum on Aiglon. Therefore, as a "reward", Aiglon also fulfilled his promise and sent the Marquis to the Imperial Parliament as soon as he came to power. In the House of Nobles.

After Aigron came to power, he first purged the House of Nobles and expelled a large number of old aristocratic members who were unwilling to be loyal to the empire and the Bonaparte family. Naturally, the Marquis of Noirtier was personally responsible for this.

For decades, the Marquis has been well known to people for his prestigious reputation and tough tactics. How could he, who spoke eloquently in the National Assembly during the Revolution, care about the clamor of these juniors now? Therefore, after he wielded an iron fist and purged on a large scale, killing dozens of members as a warning to others, it can be said that the current House of Nobles has become obedient to His Majesty the Emperor.

Of course, "rectification must be obeyed" is only a means, and "improving legislative efficiency" is the ultimate goal. Therefore, under the instruction of Aiglon, the Marquis of Noirtier also promoted a series of urgent legislative work, including A financial bill related to the railway industry was passed, as well as a financial bill that completely separated royal expenses from the national treasury, etc.

Because the Marquis is so efficient, Aigron is naturally extremely satisfied with his work results.

The only pity is that the Marquis is already old, and he has to prepare a future successor for the Marquis in case of emergency.

As usual, the Marquis of Noirtier reported to Aiglon in detail the recent developments in the two houses of parliament, as well as who was loyal to the empire, who might have different aspirations, etc.

With such an aging body, shouldering the heavy responsibility of "running the parliament" is of course a great drain on the body. Even if you don't need much insight into the subtleties of observation, you can see the tiredness on the old man's body.

Looking at his haggard face and hoarse voice, Aigron couldn't help but feel pity in his heart.

This tough guy who had gone through the entire Revolutionary era and was able to duel and win the best swordsman in the army in 1815 finally bowed before time.

It is common sense in the world that the waves behind the Yangtze River push the waves ahead, but when you witness it with your own eyes, it still makes people feel a little sad.

"Thank you for your hard work, Mr. Marquis." Because of this, Aigron thanked the Marquis in a more cordial tone than usual. "Thanks to your help, this government has been able to pass so much in a short period of time." important legislation... I am deeply grateful for this. Likewise, just because you have worked so hard, I advise you to take a good rest recently. Anyway, the most important things are almost done now... You can It’s time to take a breather.”…

"Thank you very much for your concern, Your Majesty." The Marquis of Noirtier respectfully thanked Aigron, "But you know me. For me, it is not just me who works in the parliament to promote the country. It’s my job, it’s my life, it’s my pleasure, I… I can’t convince myself to stop.

And you can also see that my body is not as good as before. I don’t even know how long I can last. But I am not afraid of death. Death is inevitable for everyone. I have already lived a few more lives by those unlucky guys who died under the guillotine back then. It has been ten years...I will use the time that I can still run around to make the greatest contribution to the country and you. Only in this way can I die without regrets..."

The words of the Marquis of Noirtier were on the one hand the voice of his heart, and on the other hand they were also intended to show Aigron his feelings of dedicating everything to the empire.

He knew that he was already at the end of his life, and he didn't know how long he could live. So he might as well burn his life to get His Majesty the Emperor's final mercy.

And his approach has indeed achieved his goal - Aigron has always been very tolerant towards those very useful and diligent subordinates, and is never willing to treat them badly.

"Your Majesty, at my current age, I must prepare for a rainy day for you and be prepared in case I cannot be a director." At this time, the Marquis of Noirtier continued to speak, "In the Parliament, there is no one else They have more qualifications and prestige than me, so it is impossible for my successor to drive it with the same tough measures as me. In other words, blindly high pressure cannot be sustained, and it can easily rebound. You'd better act now First promote a few juniors with outstanding talents, buy them with high-ranking officials and generous salaries, and then use them as the core to form a pro-government party group, and use their numerical advantage to build ballast in the Imperial Parliament... Only in this way can you sit back and relax. "

After finishing speaking, he told Aiglon the names of several young talents he was optimistic about for His Majesty's future use.

For Aiglon, this is not a problem. Anyway, in the past few years, he has made a lot of nobles. In the future, he will continue to make anyone he likes a noble, and then send him to the House of Nobles.

This is the subtlety of the bicameral system. The National Assembly, as the lower house, will often see changes in members due to changes in public opinion, which will allow many opposition parties to occupy seats in the assembly. Normalized Control”, UU Reading www. uukanshu. net After all, it can be both offensive and defensive, and it can realize the fact of autocracy on the basis of "constitutional government".

This is also proven by the practice of many countries during the same period or "in the future".

The political structure created by the Marquis of Noirtier for Aiglon is exactly the same.

With his experience, he correctly realized the power of "public opinion", which is absolutely invincible, but at the same time he also saw the violence and fickleness of "public opinion". In the end, this revolutionary vanguard became a loyal imperialist Politicians, supported under the banner of "elected emperor".

Of course he knew that such a system was not perfect, but he believed that it was the most suitable thing for the country now, and only the Bonaparte family could lead the country through the sea of ​​blood and face tomorrow.

"Ballast stone..." Aigron nodded with deep understanding, "Yes, you are right, I just want this! Then do what you want."

After he finished speaking, he felt a little sad and sad in his heart.

He knew the "original work" and therefore also knew that the Marquis would suddenly be paralyzed by a "stroke" at some point in the future.

Maybe in a few years, maybe even tomorrow - but either way, it was a terrible loss for him.

He burned his whole life for my family...I should make it up to him. Aigron thought to himself.
