Chapter 1548: Crow of war

  Chapter 1548 The crow of war

   Victor Hugo once wrote an essay about Napoleon’s funeral.

  It was a sunny day. Even if it rained heavily the day before, the water in the gutter was frozen because of the cold weather. His coffin did not enter the city until afternoon.

  The funeral procession was attended by generals and marshals. The scene was very spectacular. The sun shone on the breastplates of infantry with rifles, and the badges on their chests flashed.

  They passed a sculpture of Louis XIV, which was very powerful and burly, and was turned golden by the sun.

In the fog and sunlight, the trees on the Champs Elysées showed gray and brown, which looked like a background board. When the coffin appeared on the boulevard, people cheered, as if he was still Greet the triumph when you are alive.

  Half way, it was blocked for some reason. On the corner of the street along the river is a sculpture of Marshal Ney.

  Later, it broke down in front of Victor Hugo, so that he could observe the coffin at will. On the whole, it is majestic and mammoth. Its body is shining with gold. It is carried by four golden wheels. It is pyramid-shaped layer by layer, and it is covered with purple gauze full of bees from top to bottom, but it is a real coffin. But it is invisible. It is placed in the base. What people see is the fake coffin with the emperor’s emblems, such as the crown, the sword, the scepter, and the large cloak. The following content is not Georgian. Remember, that was just a prose, not to mention Napoleon was just an ancient person to her at that time.

The burial ceremony of St. Gennaviève’s stone coffin was also very grand, but she did not come from afar like Napoleon. The stone coffin was not far from the Pantheon that was originally built for her, and the frescoes of the Pantheon were all paintings. The deeds of St. Genevieve.

  Now she is going to be "buried" in the chapel next to the Pantheon. Fortunately, she is not alone. Many celebrities in Paris are buried here, including Racine.

  Piazza Concorde was also ordered by Louis XV. His riding sculpture was destroyed during the Revolution. Later, a Louis XIV horse riding sculpture was moved from the Marley Lehua garden and placed on the square. That place is now like a ghost domain, with a depression and rundown everywhere, and few people will hang out there.

  At first, someone suggested that the stone slab of Saint-Genevieve should cruise around the city, but this proposal was rejected.

The grand ceremony started from the Gennevèvre Library. Sixteen young monks were responsible for carrying the coffin. The Archbishop of Paris was responsible for lighting incense in the back and singing "Requiem". The coffin of the saint was covered with a layer. The canopy made of gold and silver silk is estimated to have this specification for the funeral of the pope and the emperor.

  Georgiana was inside the church. She couldn't see what was going on outside. Fortunately, the weather was not particularly cold, so there was no need to wait in the cold wind.

  Josephine has returned. Whether it is for her daughter who is about to give birth or to participate in this ceremony, she can't continue to recuperate in the hot springs. She stood beside Napoleon and greeted the arrival of the saint with him at the door of the church.

  Although it is afternoon, the sky is gray, it looks like fog, or thick smoke, filling the sky over Paris.

Someone in the ancient local chronicles said that the city of Paris has been like a sacred place since ancient times. It cannot be conquered, and snakes and rats cannot appear. But one day when people were clearing a gutter, they found a copper snake and a copper rat. People will see appearing in the city from now on.

At that time, the ruler of Paris was Gontran, the son of Clotel I and the grandson of Clovis I, the founder of the Merovingian dynasty. He was the king of Burgundy and a quarter of the Frankish kingdom. Of the king.

  At that time, Paris was not the capital of the Frankish Kingdom. A woman said to the residents of the city, "Quickly run away from here, because it will be destroyed by fire."

  Many people ridiculed this report, saying that she said this when she was entangled by the devil at noon.

  On the second night of the woman’s warning, a fire broke out in the warehouse near the south gate. It quickly spread to the neighboring house and the fire spread to the prison.

  At this time, Saint Germanus appeared, broke the chain that bound them, rushed through the prison door, and let them go out unharmed. They went to St. Vincent's Church, when the flames had spread in all directions along the wind, and it had dominated the city.

  The prisoners fled to St. Martin’s Chapel because he had kissed and cured lepers in this place. As the fire approached, the prisoners watched as fireballs swept over, but as soon as they touched the edge of the chapel, the heat immediately disappeared, leaving the chapel unscathed.

  The cloak of Saint Martin was sent back to Provence. It is unknown why it appeared in the stone chamber of Saint-Genaviève.

  This incident was not made public. First, to avoid ridicule, many generals and officials like Morrow did not attend the ceremony, and second, to avoid spreading rumors and causing unnecessary panic.

  The wooden benches of the church are hung with ribbons. Its function is more similar to decoration. The guests in the church will not squeeze forward to join in the fun like the civilians outside, which will cause trampling.

Both ends of the ribbon are tied with bouquets of roses. In addition to representing love and beauty, the red roses also represent the love of God in the church. Georgiana looked at the roses in a daze. After a while, she felt that someone was looking at herself and followed her gaze. Looking over, Bonaparte, who was standing at the door, had already turned his eyes to the outside.

  The story about the Sultan's Concubine is not a story, but a real story, as Mamluks all know.

There was a group of Berber pirates in North Africa. They were not only in the Mediterranean, but also robbed near Azov near Portugal. There was a French woman from Corsica who was taken captive by Berber pirates and later they sold her. She was given to the Sultan of Morocco as the princess.

  The sultan loves her very much, but she has no relatives with Josephine, and has never been to the Caribbean.

Although many people say that Bonaparte is a dictator, he is really good to people around him. Rana will ask him if he has no money, and he doesn’t speak much. Before setting off for Antwerp, Napoleon got a few horses. Very good Arabian horses. They were in Marmaison at the time. Rana saw it and liked it, so he bet against him and compare billiards. Whoever wins these Arabian horses will go to whom.

  Napoleon deliberately let Rana win. Later, without Napoleon’s consent, Rana put on the harness and rode away without a trace.

  After the Battle of Orange Grove, the position of the Portuguese ambassador was vacated. Napoleon had planned to let Rana go.

  In the current situation, Georgiana feels that it is not appropriate for Rana to stay in Antwerp in the north.

  The Baltic Sea trade is very important to Britain. If you are not careful, you will get rid of it.

  She was thinking of a trance, and suddenly there was something in her hand.

  She looked at the palm of her hand, and there was a small note inside:

  Liechtenstein mountain monster tribe meets the French army.

  Georgiana put away the note and looked ahead if nothing had happened.

  It seems that she will not be able to go to the north this time.
