Make France Great Again

Jerome Bonaparte had a long chat with Pius IX, during which Pius IX asked about the existing problems in Rome, and Jerome Bonaparte responded to Pius IX as much as possible.

As night fell, Jerome Bonaparte felt at home at the invitation of Pius IX. At the banquet, Pius IX talked to Jerome Bonaparte about many things about the emperor in the army. I feel that if the emperor hadn't failed back then, he might still have stayed in the French army, and maybe he could be a general as well.

Jerome Bonaparte flattered that Pius IX's current achievements were far beyond what the French generals could match.

The two people who had their own thoughts left amidst "laughing and laughing".

Under the guidance of the priest, Jerome Bonaparte, who left the banquet hall of the Apostolic Palace, got into the carriage specially prepared for him by Pius IX.

The carriage slowly drove away from the Vatican Palace. Jerome Bonaparte, who was half lying in the carriage, recalled everything he had done today, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

I have done everything I can, and the way the Papal State will go in the future depends on Pius IX himself.

...

On the other side of the Vatican Palace, Pope Pius IX also did not sit idle.

While it was still dark, he urgently summoned a group of cardinals loyal to him, as well as Bishop Muzzarelli and the future first prime minister of the Papal State, Pererino Rossi.

[Perellino Rossi: July 13, 1787-November 16, 1848, Italian economist, politician, lawyer, served as French ambassador to the Pope during the July Dynasty. Invited by Pius IX to serve as the first Prime Minister of the Papal State, he was assassinated in the Palace of the Clerks on November 16. 】

The cardinals who were forcibly awakened by Pius IX forced their sleepy eyes to listen to the Pope's "exhortation".

The current situation is really not the time to talk in detail, Pius IX can only make a long story short and tell the cardinals the suggestion made by Jerome Bonaparte.

The infighting cardinals who have been immersed in the religious world for a long time are not very good at fighting the secular world regime. They turned their attention to Pererino Rossi, who was recently hired by the Pope.

Pererino Rossi listened carefully to what Pius IX said, and after thinking for a long time, he said: "Your Majesty, I think this is feasible! We can form a party loyal to the Pope like France, and after the election A venerable priest!"

Pererino Rossi's words did not arouse the cardinal's silent resonance, and of course they did not arouse their opposition. They were waiting for Pius IX's response like a personal sculpture.

"Let's do this first! However, we have to do it step by step. Let's start with the economic year!" Pius IX, who had not completely lost his will to reform, decided to try it first. If the reform fell into deep water, he would retreat by himself. .

With the "unanimous" consent of the cardinals and the approval of the Pope, the Papal States once again launched vigorous reforms in order to ease social conflicts.

On June 1, Pius IX delivered a solemn sermon in the Church of St. Petersburg, and announced why he responded to the voice of the people of the Papal State, which is expected to start reforms in July.

All of a sudden, the whole of Rome cheered, and almost everyone was cheering for the Pope's "enlightenment", and the demonstrations disappeared without a trace overnight.

Moderate liberals, extreme liberals, and even republicans are all waiting for the reform of the Papal States to begin.

Jerome Bonaparte just watched Rome's every move with cold eyes and continued to write the unfinished "Catholic Economic Ethics".

On June 10, Jerome Bonaparte was very excited by two letters from France.

The people who wrote the letter were Pessini and Rumaer. In the letter, Pessini told Jerome Bonaparte about the funeral of his cousin Louis Napoleon.

After the body of Louis Napoleon entered France, it was admired by the French people. There was an endless stream of teams from Calais to France to see him off. The major mainstream newspapers along the way were like sharks smelling blood. "Great achievements".

After the body arrived in Seine, it was welcomed back by the ruler Lamartine and François Arago. All the citizens of Paris came to watch, and there was an unprecedented harmony in Paris.

Under the auspices of Lamartine and Arago, the body of Louis Napoleon was placed next to the body of the Roman king in the Invalides in the name of the republican hero.

After the funeral, the whole of Paris got to know the legendary Prince Louis Napoleon.

In Roue's letter, Jerome Bonaparte learned about the dynamics of the Bonapartists, as well as about his two cousins ​​and his father Jerome Bonaparte the Old.

Rue implicitly pointed out that after the body of Louis Napoleon was returned, his cousin Pierre Bonaparte wanted to take his place as the new leader of the Bonaparte family.

Due to the lack of approval from the Bonapartists, coupled with the opposition of his father Jerome and his sister Mathilde, his cousin could only retreat to participate in the election with Lucien Murat.

Since then two members of the Bonaparte family (father Jerome old, cousin Pierre Bonaparte) have participated in the elections and become members of parliament, and their names are also in the cafés of Paris along with certain heroic events in the United Kingdom. [Ruet's Suggestion] spread through the library, and even the Literary Salon also spread its own name [Thanks to Sister Mathilde].

On the day he wrote the letter (June 4th), he had already ranked fourth in the Seine in terms of votes, not far behind Thiers, who was third. Yell used bribe money to cheat to win votes], and in Corsica, Joonne, and Bas Charente, his own votes were overwhelmingly won, which means that as long as he wants, he can completely Enter the land of France grandly as members of these three regions.

Lamartine's agreement could not impose any constraints on him at all.

However, Jerome Bonaparte will not do this, he must abide by the agreement with Lamartine.

Even if Lamartine's time in power is numbered.

Jerome Bonaparte, who had read the envelopes from Pessini and Rouet, let out a sigh of relief, shook his head and said to himself, "Oh! The Bonaparte family!"

After speaking, he took out the draft paper from the drawer and wrote letters to Pessini and Rouet respectively.

After the binding of the two letters was completed, Jerome Bonaparte called Letty over, handed the two letters to Letty, and then handed over the 300,000 franc bill to Letty, asking him to remit it together with the envelope. Funding Paris for the activities of the Bonapartists.
