Make France Great Again

September 1, 1850.

Duke Richelieu was ordered to go to Clermont to mourn Louis Philippe. Because Eames is located in the seaside area of ​​northwest Germany, this convenient condition allowed Duke Richelieu to save time traveling on land.

At 9 o'clock in the morning, a fast ship equipped with a powerful steam engine carried the Duke of Richelieu to Britain.

The clipper powered by the steam engine no longer adapts to the direction and strength of the wind. It shuttles across the North Sea at extremely fast speeds.

After sailing for a day and a night, the clipper finally arrived in London in the afternoon of September 2.

After disembarking from the ship, the Duke of Richelieu did not immediately go to Clermont Township. Instead, just after leaving the London dockyard, he took a car to the racecourse to participate in gambling activities, and did not stop until he lost all the funds he had on hand.

From this point of view, Duke Richelieu is not completely corrupt, to some extent, there is still some progress.

As for why Duke Richelieu opposed the alliance between the Orleanists and the Orthodox, a small part of the reason was because he really hated Louis Philippe. His father was driven out of Paris by Louis Philippe and once again lived in exile. However, most of the reasons are: once they unite with the Orleans faction, it means that they must compromise with the Orleans faction. Compromise means giving up some of their interests to the Orleans faction.

So whose interests need to be sacrificed? It can't be those guys who spend all day in Paris working for the restoration of the king! If we do not give up their interests, we must give up the interests of the "small court".

They did not have many centuries to live apart from the political scene in Paris. They could only survive by relying on the monarch who depended on them, which was a disguised weakening of their power.

The "Little Court" faction headed by Duke Richelieu must be unwilling to unite with the Orleans faction. Duke Richelieu is not a person, but a small court surrounding Duke Richelieu.

They can be connected in series to completely isolate the inside and outside.

Of course, the premise of all this is that the Count of Chambord is consistent with their ideas.

However, how could Count Chambord, who had been growing up in such a rotten little palace all day long, not grow rotten fruits.

The Duke of Richelieu, who was having fun and had no money left, randomly found a hotel to repair, and came to Clermont Township on the early morning of the 3rd.

This was the last day of Louis-Philippe's burial. No one present was surprised by the arrival of Duke Richelieu.

The Duke of Nemours, who suppressed his grief, got up and went to receive the Duke of Richelieu, accompanied by the Count Morlay and others.

"Welcome, Your Excellency the Duke!" Duke Nemours said to Duke Richelieu with a sad face.

Duke Richelieu looked at the "decline" of Duke Nemours. He raised his head and nodded arrogantly: "On the order of His Majesty the King, I am here to see the Duke of Orleans off!"

Duke Richelieu's arrogant remarks made everyone present look at him. Louis Philippe, no matter how he said it, was the King of Orleans who had been crowned and certified by the entire French people, but in Richelieu's mouth, he became the Duke of Orleans.

The Duke of Richelieu's intention was obvious. They were not willing to recognize the so-called Kingdom of Orleans.

Prince Joinville cast an angry look at Duke Richelieu, and the British court messenger and Valewski also showed surprised looks.

"Thank you Count of Chambord for your love!" The Duke of Nemours was also not to be outdone and used the title "Count of Chambord" to mock "Henry V".

Duke Richelieu's expression also froze, and his eyes showed anger.

As soon as the funeral began, the Orleanists and the Orthodox were at odds with each other.

Count Morlay, who was standing aside, saw this and hurriedly stepped forward to calm the atmosphere and said: "Thank you to His Majesty King Henry V for sending an envoy to see off our King Louis Philippe!"

Count Morlay's standard answer made the Duke of Richelieu and the Duke of Nemours stand on the same page, and the two decided to put aside the dispute and let the funeral end first.

The Duke of Richelieu walked to Louis Philippe's coffin and remained silent.

Old guy, you are finally dead!

Although Duke Richelieu's expression was very solemn, he did feel sincerely happy in his heart.

"May God bless His Excellency the Duke, and let all his glory and sins follow the Lord into heaven!" Duke Richelieu said loudly.

As soon as this statement came out, the Orleans faction once again caused a commotion.

Many members of the Orléans faction felt that Duke Richelieu did not come to seek cooperation, but rather to cause sabotage.

In order not to affect the continuation of the funeral, the Orleans faction and others could only suppress the anger of the main content.

At noon, an old man wearing white bishop's clothing appeared in front of the coffin, holding a Bible and praying loudly.

"I hope our brother can..."

After the prayer, the bishop once again sprinkled two drops of "holy water" on Louis Philippe lying in the coffin and stepped down.

The Duke of Nemours and others closed the coffin lid with sadness and carried it into the carriage.

The carriage carried the body of Louis Philippe to the foot of a hill in Claremont Township.

Louis-Philippe's wife and former Queen of the Kingdom of Orleans introduced it to the nobles next to her with a tearful voice: "He loved this place when he was alive!"

The coffin was slowly lowered into a deep pit at the foot of the mountain that had just been dug a few days ago. The coffin was gradually buried under piles of soil.

Looking at the body of his father who could only be buried in a foreign land, the tearful Duke of Nemours secretly made a vow in his heart.

Father! It won't be long before you can return to France!

Louis Philippe's coffin was buried at 3 o'clock in the afternoon, and everyone returned to the villa in Claremont Township with various new emotions.

Many people also gradually said goodbye on their way back to Claremont Township, and gradually only the members of the Orthodox and Orleans faction remained.

When Duke Richelieu returned to his villa in Clermont and was about to leave, Count Molay blocked the way of Duke Richelieu.

"Your Majesty the Duke, I think the Duke of Broglie has explained the situation to you." Count Molay said to the Duke of Richelieu.

"I know! You want to plan a merger!" Duke Richelieu showed an attitude that it had nothing to do with him.

Seeing Duke Richelieu's attitude, Duke Molay felt a surge of unknown anger in his heart. He suppressed his anger and asked Duke Richelieu: "Your Excellency, Duke, we should unite! Only in this way can we fight against the President! Louis Philippe. The king personally told us before his death that he was sorry for what happened and hoped that the two of us could put aside our past grudges and work together!"

The words of Count Molay surprised Duke Richelieu. He did not expect that Louis Philippe would be able to let go of the king's pride and admit his mistake before he died.

Surprised, Duke Richelieu had no intention of joining forces with Duke Molay: "Mr. Molay, I don't think that without your help! Our Majesty will not be able to ascend the throne! The source of the monarch's power To God, not to subjects. That’s the difference between us!”

The arrogant speech of Duke Richelieu made Count Molay even more angry, but he still chose to hold back his anger and express his feelings to Duke Richelieu, and said with reason: "Your Excellency, you must not understand the politics of Paris for a long time. Come on! Now we have been suppressed by that bastard Jérôme Bonaparte. If we cannot unite, then that guy Jérôme Bonaparte will definitely pluck the fruits of France."

It would be better for Jérôme Bonaparte to take it off than for you!

Duke Richelieu complained inwardly.

As the saying goes, the hatred of heretics is greater than that of heretics, the hatred between Bourbon and Napoleon has faded away after eighteen years of restoration.

Restoration of the feud between Bourbon and Orleans is truly mainstream.

"I don't think it's because we are not united enough!" Duke Richelieu immediately found a reason to retort: ​​"If you can serve the monarch wholeheartedly like us, then we are fully capable of putting our monarch on the throne. But You can't, you will only be half-hearted, and you have no ability to return the power of the monarch to God. You place your hope in our power to help you achieve it, and I tell you this is impossible!"

"Duke Richelieu, that's not what we talked about beforehand!" By now, Count Molet also understood that Richelieu had no intention of merging at all, and he changed his attitude and said coldly.

"I don't know what agreement Broy has reached with you!" Duke Richelieu bluntly cut off the attempts of Molay and others: "I can tell you! As long as we are here, we will never unite with the usurper. "

"You..." Count Molay pointed at Duke Richelieu and was speechless.

The Duke of Richelieu strode out of the room and left the village of Clermont.

When the Duke of Nemours asked about the merger, Count Morlay responded apologetically: "I'm sorry! Your Highness, they have no desire to unite with us at all!"

A trace of loneliness flashed across Nemours' face, and now he had to comfort Molay and said: "Count Molay, I believe that under the leadership of you and Mr. Thiers, we will be able to return to France without them. !”

"I think so too!" Count Morai only smiled reluctantly and responded to Count Nemours.

On the 6th, find Shuyuan www.zhaoshuyuan.com When Duke Richelieu returned to Emla, he reported the funeral meeting to Count Chambord.

"Your Majesty, those guys in Orleans wanted to unite with us, but I refused! I told them that we would never unite with them."

Say it, Duke Richelieu glanced at Duke Broglie and Bailey.

The expressions of the two people froze after Duke Richelieu said those words. They couldn't believe their ears.

All the efforts I have made so far have been in vain! What are they for? To act like a clown?

"Well done!" Count Chambord nodded and praised Duke Richelieu's behavior. Then he also looked at Duke Broglie and Bellier and emphasized: "I reiterate again, I will never Join forces with those despicable usurpers!"
