Eagle’s Glory

【Glory of the young eagle】 【】

After such a sudden turmoil, the already tired two people had no energy to continue chatting. After washing their hands hastily, they hugged each other and fell asleep early, falling asleep, leaving behind today's joy and sorrow. to the back of the head.

After a night's rest, Mrs. Henrietta became radiant. After breakfast, she took her daughter and son-in-law to visit the Parthenon Temple where the wedding was about to be held.

While enjoying the fun of traveling, she listened to her daughter's report on the wedding with great interest, interjecting from time to time to put forward a few opinions of her own.

Originally Teresa was very concerned about the wedding and personally asked about the details of the ceremony. After the wife came, she also enthusiastically participated in the planning of the wedding.

Although it was only a few days before the wedding, the wife still made a lot of changes according to her own wishes. In desperation, everyone could only cooperate in a hurry and tried their best not to mess up the timetable.

However, Aigron didn't need to worry about such trivial matters. He was happy to be at leisure, leaving all these matters to his mother-in-law, and enjoying this hard-won vacation.

However, this does not mean that he can really do nothing. In his current position, there are still too many things waiting for him to make a decision.

And at this time, his uncle Joseph - Cardinal Fish also rushed to Athens.

Just like the last time he greeted Mrs. Henrietta, Aigron also greeted the cardinal in person.

Now he is not only himself, but also represents his grandmother, so he is the direct elder at the wedding at Aigron's side, and Aigron naturally dare not neglect,

When seeing Aigron, the cardinal was also filled with emotion.

The gray-haired cardinal has been in a state of excitement during this period of time. He has been paying attention to the news from Greece almost all the time, and prayed devoutly to God, begging the Almighty Lord to grant him this nephew Good luck Sun.

Perhaps God heard his prayers. Ever since he went to Greece, Egron has been going well and has received good news, and now he is helping Greece recover, and it is about to establish an independent country.

How could such a heroic deed not please him?

He is very old, and he may be buried in the ground at any time. Everything in the world has nothing to do with him. The only thing he cares about is the career of this nephew. He is extremely eager for this young man to create A miracle brought the Bonaparte family back to the throne.

He looked at the young man in front of him, then saluted him respectfully.

"Your Majesty, I congratulate you on your victory and wish you and Princess Teresa a happy life together."

"Thank you." Aigron quickly supported him. "Is my grandmother okay?"

"She has been feeling unwell recently, but her spirit is very strong." The cardinal quickly replied, "For your success, she is more happy and proud than I am. She thinks about you almost every day, and sometimes she even bursts into tears. In her opinion, watching your achievements is the greatest pleasure in the rest of her life."

Aigron was also extremely moved to see Queen Letizia being so caring about him.

After all, she is a grandmother, so it is human nature to worry about her grandson.

"I am grateful for everything my grandmother has done for me." He sighed softly, "Although due to various reasons, it is a pity that she could not witness my wedding in person, but I can feel her blessings in my blood and in my heartbeat... I I just hope that everything here will be over as soon as possible so that I can go to Rome to meet her again."

Speaking of this, the cardinal suddenly regained his spirits.

"Both the Pope and Cardinal Vittorio Esposito are very pleased with you,

They think that everything you have done for Greece has greatly benefited the Christian world; at the same time, they think that your generosity to the church also proves your piety... So after considering it, they will allow you to visit Rome in a private capacity in the near future. After all, keeping a grandmother from seeing her grandchildren is against the mercy God has taught us..."

This high-sounding rhetoric made Aigron laugh all the time. He knew in his heart that he was able to get such an opportunity only because he was willing to spend money and money, and it had nothing to do with God's merciful way .

It's just that the Roman Church has to put on a glamorous coat in everything it does-maybe this is the sign of civilization.

"If it's ancient times, I think I'm worthy of a triumph!" Because he was in a good mood, Aigron made a joke.

"Hey, I thought so too..." the cardinal sighed, "It's a pity that the late emperor greatly offended the church. Although the pope had passed away at that time, there was still a group of people in the church who fiercely opposed Bonaparte. family, so His Majesty the Pope can’t welcome you with great fanfare, but he will receive you.”

"It's okay, I won't be angry." Aigron shook his head, "I'm not strong enough now, I've already met the conditions to win this, and one day I'll make everyone in the church prostrate in front of me—"

The cardinal listened cheerfully. If he had seen the young man say this before, he would have just regarded it as a young man with unrealistic fantasies; but now, he has seen what his nephew is capable of, and he also looks forward to it in his heart. Hope this day will come sooner.

"By the way, I want to introduce someone to you." After laughing for a while, Cardinal Fish changed the subject. "He may be of use to you."

"Who?" Aegron was a little surprised.

"His name is Leon Benito Esposito, he is the nephew of Cardinal Esposito, and he has always been the cardinal's favorite descendant in the family—" Cardinal Fish said A tacit tone of introduction. "He is twenty-two years old this year. Although he is young, he has received a very complete education in Latin grammar and history. In addition to theology, he is also very good at rhetoric. I tested this young man on the way here, and he is quite smart. , is considered a talent.”

It seems that this so-called nephew is the illegitimate son of Cardinal Esposito.

Considering that Cardinal Esposito is his ally, and the two sides have been cooperating happily during this time, Egron doesn't mind giving this young man a little favor.

【Glory of the young eagle】 【】

"What does he want from me?" Aigron asked.

"He wants to apply to be your secretary," replied Cardinal Fish.

Eggron was even more surprised.

"Being my secretary? I think his family should arrange a brighter future for him."

"That's right. Originally, the cardinal was indeed planning to let him enter the church and inherit his mantle in the future—but he himself was not happy." Cardinal Fish explained in a low voice, "This young man is not interested in serving God. He doesn't have much interest, and he doesn't plan to spend his whole life in the rules and disciplines, he wants to see the world, and...he also has a lot of admiration for you, and thinks you are worthy of serving."

"Is that so?" Aigron was skeptical and a little happy.

After all, I was regarded as a "Master" and took the initiative to take effect.

Cardinal Esposito is his ally, and he needs to win over; but from another aspect, he dare not easily let the cardinal's illegitimate son participate in his secrets.

Should we give it a chance?

"Okay, I can see him." After pondering for a while, Aigron decided to take a look first.

Soon, a young man walked into the room. He had black hair, slightly curly hair, soft facial features, a broad forehead, and looked like he had read poetry and books. Perhaps it was because he had buried his head in his study all the year round, his skin was quite fair, he wore a plain black coat and a thin silk tie, and looked refined and refined.

After coming in front of Aigron, he first carefully looked at the young man, and then he was obviously a little excited.

Then, he saluted Aigron cautiously. "Your Majesty, it's a pleasure to meet you!"

Although he grew up in Rome since he was a child, he uses French, and his words are very fluent, and he obviously received a strict education since he was a child.

"I'm glad to see you too." Aigron nodded slightly, and then directly turned to the topic, "I heard from my uncle that you want to work for me?"

"Yes... I dare you to grant me the honor of working for you." The young man quickly replied, "And I think I can give you a little help."

Aigron did not answer immediately, but looked at the other party, thinking in his heart.

With the expansion of his organization, he really needs a confidential secretary type of person to handle his daily work for him. Recently he has also tried to find similar figures among his own people.

But is this young man really trustworthy?

Does he have enough ability, and does he have enough loyalty?

Perhaps seeing what Aigron was thinking, the young man immediately spoke again, "Your Majesty, I know you will not place too much trust in me, but I beg you to give me a chance, even if it is the smallest It’s okay to start small, and I’ll prove my ability and my loyalty.”

Agron nodded.

He likes people with ambition and talent—so, he is willing to give the other party a chance to prove himself.

He looked around, then let the young man sit next to a desk, and gave him a pen and paper.

Then, Egron dictated a letter.

【Glory of the young eagle】 【】

Soon, he watched the young man write the letter. He wrote it in Latin, French, German and Italian respectively.

"Re-tell me the content of the letter again." Aigron read the letter, and then made a request abruptly.

"Sorry, Your Majesty, I can't repeat what you dictated when a third person is present." The young man replied in a low voice.

Aigron confirmed now that the other party did not exaggerate, quick thinking, and cautious.

Is a suitable candidate.

Thinking of this, Aigron gradually became inclined to accept this person who took refuge in him.

"What should I call you?" he asked.

"Just call me Leon." The young man replied respectfully.

"Well, Leon—tell me, why did you choose such a job?" Aigron stared at the other party, and then asked word by word, "My uncle has given you the reason just now, but I still want you to speak for yourself."

Leon Esposito answered his question immediately without any hesitation.

"Your Majesty, because I think that following you will be more conducive to displaying my talents-it is true that if I stay in Rome, I will enjoy the shelter of my family and live a life without worrying about food and clothing, but the price is What? I have to live my life from church to church and endless services. For many people, it's a good deal, but for me, it's a bit of a pain. I want to do It’s a big deal, but Rome can no longer accommodate my vision! Today’s Roman Church has faded away and lost its original influence on the European continent. Even if I become a new Esposito in the church decades later What can the cardinal do? I still can only guard the family's square inch in obscurity. When I think of this, I can't help but feel a little sad. Fortunately, I see new hope in you, a person who can let me touch The promise of a bigger stage, and I want to grab that."

When he said this, he smiled wryly again.

"If you are worried that I am a spy, here to plot some plot for my uncle, then you need not worry too much - because what harm can the Roman Church do to you now? It cannot change the trend of history , and cannot affect the foreign policies of various powerful countries, what is the point of my uncle spying on you? And now that the whole world knows that you want to seize the French throne, how can you use any spies...? If he spends It would be too unwise to try to put your nephew in danger just to spy on a well-known intelligence."

After hearing these words, Aigron suddenly realized that it made sense, and there seemed to be no loopholes.

It seems the guy is really good at rhetoric.

Of course, he would not completely change his mind just because of what the other party said, but talents are rare. If such a person is a confidential secretary by his side, he can indeed become an effective subordinate.

And what's even better is that he is from Rome, and he has nothing to do with the French or Austrians around him, and he will only be loyal to him alone.

【Glory of the young eagle】 【】

It's not that he doesn't trust the French or Austrians around him, it's just that he can't allow himself to be restrained by anyone, and if he recruits Leon Esposito, he will have a power independent of everyone else. information channels.

This was indeed a pleasant surprise.

Thinking of this, Aigron finally made up his mind.

"Since you have mentioned this, it would be unfair if I refuse again." Aigron looked at the young man, and then stretched out his hand, "Leon, I can hire you, I hope that from now on you can serve me with loyalty and prudence at the same time, if you can——then I will definitely not treat you badly."

"Please rest assured, Your Majesty!" The young man was overjoyed, and then held Aegron's hand.

The Cardinal Fish who was standing next to him looked very happy. As he was getting old, he naturally hoped to do his best to help his nephew and grandson.

Thinking back to the beginning, it was he who presided over the baptism of this child. At that time, the empire was like a raging fire, so how could he imagine the ups and downs of the next ten years?

Fortunately, things haven't gotten too bad after all, and the Bonaparte family has climbed up again under the leadership of the grown-up children.

"My child... If your father had been wiser back then, maybe I would have presided over your wedding in Fontainebleau now." Looking back on the past, he couldn't help but sigh with emotion.
