Make France Great Again

Jerome Bonaparte, who met his "relatives" in Rome, did not choose to continue riding in the carriage, but walked into the city of Rome with Lucien Louis.

"Lucien, when did you enter the church! Why don't I know anything!" Jerome Bonaparte looked at Lucien Louis' outfit carefully and asked curiously.

"Uncle Jerome, we haven't seen each other for nearly four years!" Lucien Louis reminded Jerome Bonaparte, and then explained: "I was baptized into the church in 1844, and now I am studying for a doctorate in theology!"

Universities in the 19th century did not have three steps to distinguish between undergraduate, master, and doctoral degrees, which means that talented people can skip directly to study.

"A 20-year-old Doctor of Theology! It seems that you are going to become the most knowledgeable member of the Bonaparte family!" Jerome Bonaparte praised Lucien Louis with a thumbs up.

Although the ability of the entire Bonaparte family has never been linked to academic qualifications, academic qualifications are always a stepping stone.

Just like his deceased cousin Louis Napoleon, he was self-taught and kept thinking that if he hadn't been in prison, he would have to take a doctorate.

Jerome Bonaparte also did not go to school for a day, and most of his knowledge came from private tutors.

"No!" Lucio Louis waved his hand shyly and said, "I still have one year to graduate!"

"That's great too!" Jerome Bonaparte didn't hold back his praise at all.

"By the way, Uncle Jerome! Aren't you supposed to stay in London with Uncle Louis (Louis Napoleon)? How did you come to Rome?" Lucien Louis looked at Jerome Bonaparte in confusion bar.

"Huh?" Jerome Bonaparte was stunned for a moment and said, "Did Uncle Pierre not reply to your letter recently?"

[Pierre Napoleon Bonaparte Bonaparte: 1815-1881, the third son of Lucien Bonaparte, a member of the Second Republic and a member of the Senate of the Second Empire. 】

"Uncle Pierre and father haven't communicated for a long time! Did something happen?" Lucien Louis asked again.

"Ah!" Jerome Bonaparte sighed, his cousin Charles Lucien Bonaparte is really not a sociable person, not only the cousin (the late Napoleon III) has a bad relationship with him Well, even my own brothers are not in touch with each other: "My cousin, your uncle Louis Napoleon died in London!"

Lucien Bonaparte showed a sad expression, drew a standard prayer gesture on his chest and said piously: "May God bless Uncle Louis who is far away in heaven!"

"As for why I came here..." Jerome Bonaparte glanced at Lucien Louis and hesitated for a moment before saying, "Lucien, can I trust you?"

Lucien Louis said with a serious expression: "I swear by the name of my noble Bonaparte and the name of God!"

"Okay!" Jerome Bonaparte told Lucien Louis the purpose of his trip: "The purpose of my visit this time is to meet His Majesty the Pope!"

"An audience with His Majesty the Pope?" Lucien Louis repeated again.

"That's right!" Jerome Bonaparte pointed to the north and said to Lucien Louis: "The general election of the French Republic is coming soon! I need the appeal of His Majesty the Pope!"

"Uncle Jerome, haven't you given up yet?" Lucien Louis instantly understood what Jerome Bonaparte meant. Uncle Jerome and the others were still working hard for France.

"How can it be possible to give up! We are only one step away from our sight!" Jerome Bonaparte nodded, clenched his fists and said: "As long as we seize the opportunity and seize the throne of France! The entire Bonaparte family will will benefit from this, and several of your uncles will get rich rewards,

And you..."

Jerome Bonaparte pointed to Lucien Louis and seduced: "You will become the cardinal of Rome at the fastest speed, and you can even become the spokesperson of God on the ground. (Pope)"

"Cardinal!" Lucien Louis couldn't help snorting a little more. For every member of the church system, money is not the most important thing. The red cardinal robe is their eternal pursuit. After pursuing rights, it is understandable to pursue money appropriately.

Of course, Lucien Louis did not have the desire to pursue money, he only wanted to benefit more people after becoming a cardinal.

"What can I do?" Lucien Louis certainly understands that everything in this world has a price tag, and it is natural to pay a corresponding price if you want to become a cardinal.

"Does your theology teacher have any connection with the Pope?" Jerome Bonaparte asked while hugging a blind cat and touching a dead mouse.

If it really doesn't work, Jerome Bonaparte can only consider going to the Church of Rome to apply.

Pope Pius IX was supposed to meet him.

"My teacher is a teacher at the Diocesan Major Seminary... Let me ask him!" Lucien Bonaparte was not sure whether all his teachers could climb up to His Majesty the Pope.

After all, according to the priest promotion system, his teacher needs to go one step further and become the bishop of the diocese near Milan before he can be promoted to a cardinal by the pope.

"Hmm! I'm in trouble!" Jerome Bonaparte responded.

Jerome Bonaparte and Lucien Louis walked and chatted, and soon came to the vicinity of Venice Square.

"Let's go here!" Jerome Bonaparte said to Lucien Louis, who was getting closer and closer to the Bonaparte Palace.

[Bonaparte Palace: The area purchased by Lucien Bonaparte for the retirement of Letizia. In 1823, Jerome Napoleon also lived in the country for a short time. 】

"Uncle Jerome, won't you come and sit down?" Lucien Louis said to Jerome Bonaparte, pointing to the southwest direction of Venice Square.

Jerome Bonaparte shook his head and refused, "Let's forget it! Your father doesn't want to hang out with us guys! Also, don't tell your father that I'm in Rome!"

Since the death of Lucien Bonaparte (Napoleon's younger brother, Speaker of the "House of Five Hundred"), Charles Bonaparte has parted ways with Louis Napoleon's cabal.

If the cousin knew that he was urging his second son to pave the way for the ambitions of the Bonaparte family, the cousin would probably not be able to resist shooting him directly.

If he hadn't happened to meet Lucien Louis, Jerome Bonaparte would never have disturbed the Charles family.
