Make France Great Again
Chapter 653 The Minister and the Princess
When the battle report from Inkerman Mountain reached the Sevastopol headquarters, the entire headquarters began to rejoice.
Amid this joy, Jérôme Bonaparte personally came to the telegraph office established in Sevastopol and couldn't wait to hand the telegram document he wrote himself into the hands of the telegraph operator and said: "Quick! Send this immediately Send a telegram to France!"
Faced with Jérôme Bonaparte's request, the telegraph operator did not dare to hesitate and start working immediately.
After a while, a ticking sound came from the telegraph office, and then about 40 minutes later, the ticking stopped.
The telegraph operator respectfully told Jerome Bonaparte that the telegram would arrive in Paris in about two hours.
"You did a good job!" Jerome Bonaparte smiled and nodded, then turned and left.
…
Paris two hours later.
Since Jerome Bonaparte went to Sevastopol, Paris has changed from being loose on the outside and tight on the inside to the current state of tight on the outside and tight on the inside.
The imperial bureaucrats headed by Rouet and the imperial soldiers headed by Niel secretly under the command of Queen Augusta's "Regency Council" (there is no regency council in name, only Queen Augusta supervises the country) Monitor every move of the opposition and the army in the suburbs.
If there is even the slightest sign of trouble, they will be discovered by those all-pervasive spies and arrested.
There are no exceptions even for members of the Bonaparte family.
From the time Jerome Bonaparte left until now, several members of the Bonaparte family have been secretly detained, and nearly a hundred people have been deported.
Queen Augusta used her iron-blooded wrist to frighten the subversive elements lurking in the dark corners of Paris. For the first time, they learned that Queen Augusta was not only as compassionate as an angel, but also had thunderous means.
Therefore, those who wanted to make big news while Jerome Bonaparte was no longer in Paris had to lurk again and wait for the right time.
Of course, Queen Augusta's rule in Paris was not blindly iron-blooded and high-pressure.
In some fields, Queen Augusta still gives them a certain amount of space appropriately, and the newspaper industry is obviously a typical example.
During the period when Jérôme Bonaparte left, Queen Augusta slightly relaxed the restrictions on the newspaper industry, allowing them to publish some foreign political comments, as long as they were not direct attacks on the imperial government. At the same time, for those who were good at Newspapers that write gossipy news also no longer carry out severe crackdowns.
Every day, the people of Paris can read some tidbits about the xx nobles in the newspapers, and see the comments of foreign colonels xx and xx military enthusiasts on the coalition operations in Sevastopol.
Paris has been running smoothly under the control of the Regency.
When the telegram from Sevastopol arrived at the Telegraph Office under the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, the director of the Telegraph Office immediately handed it over to the new minister Valewski who was still working in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
After seeing the contents of the telegram, Valewski's face immediately showed an expression of joy. He stood up and patted the director of the telegram department who came to report on the shoulder and said: "You did a good job!"
"This is what I should do!" the director responded with fear.
Later, Walewski ordered the people from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs to prepare a carriage, and he was going to Speaker Pio's home.
The Ministry of Foreign Affairs quickly prepared a carriage for Valewski, and the carriage set off with Valewski and soon arrived at the door of Speaker Pio's house.
"Dong dong dong!"
Following three crisp knocks on the door, a voice came from the other end of the door: "Who?"
"I'm Walewski! Is Speaker Pio at home?" Walewski asked softly.
The door slowly opened, and a servant-like man appeared in front of Walewski holding a kerosene lamp. He saluted Walewski respectfully and said, "Minister Walewski!"
"Has Speaker Pio fallen asleep?" Valewski asked, looking at the dark room behind the servant.
"Not yet!" The servant shook his head and said: "The old master is still in the study doing work!"
"Can I trouble you to inform me?" Walewski asked humbly.
"I'll take you there!" the servant replied to Valewski.
"That's trouble!" Walewski nodded and responded to the servant.
Led by his servants, Walewski arrived at a room on the second floor.
The servant knocked gently on the door, and Speaker Pio's voice appeared on the other side of the door: "Come in!"
The servant extended his hand to invite Valewski into the room, and Valewski opened the door and entered.
At this time, Speaker Pio, who was still working while wearing reading glasses, raised his head and glanced at the visitor, stretched out his hand and invited with a smile: "It turns out to be Minister Valewski, please sit down!"
Walewski sat directly opposite Speaker Pio, and Pio asked again: "I wonder what the purpose of Minister Walewski's late-night visit is!"
"Your Excellency Bio, please take a look!" Walewski handed the folded telegram to Bio.
Billo opened the telegram, took a look at the contents, and said excitedly: "Okay, okay!"
Then, Speaker Pio paused and continued to ask: "By the way, have you told Her Majesty the Queen about this?"
Valewski shook his head and said: "Her Majesty the Queen is approaching her delivery date, I dare not interrupt her rashly!"
"What about Princess Mathilde?" Speaker Pio asked again?
"Not yet!" Valewski told Bio that he came to Speaker Bio as soon as he received the telegram.
"You're confused!" Speaker Pio accused Valewski angrily: "This kind of thing should be reported to Queen Augusta first! If Queen Augusta has anything to do, she should also report it to Mathil Princess De reported.
Why did you come directly to me, an old man! What would he think if he met someone who didn't know about it? His Majesty the Emperor in Sevastopol knew, what would he think? "
Walewski, who was overwhelmed with joy, instantly realized his political mistakes. After receiving the information, he should report it to Her Majesty (the Queen) and the Princess as soon as possible. They are the main executors and administrators of the Regency Council. The political niche of President Pio, who is also the "Regency Council", is just to assist the Regency Council in handling state affairs.
This is equivalent to when Walewski reports on his work, he does not want the top secretary to report to the mayor, but instead reports to senior political and legal officials.
"Sir Bjorn, what should I do now?" Valewski asked Bjorn in a panic.
Everyone in the upper class of Paris knows that Valewski and Princess Mathilde don't get along (mainly because Valewski's wife has some problems). This time, if he is caught by Princess Mathilde's pigtails.
Not only is the minister not allowed to do anything, he will pack up and leave if things go wrong!
He had worked his way up to the position of Foreign Minister bit by bit, and he couldn't just lose it.
"What else can we do?" Speaker Pio sighed, "I will accompany you to Princess Mathilde's mansion!"
"Yes!" Walewski responded gratefully to Bjorn.
So, Bio and Valewski set out for the mansion where Princess Mathilde was staying.
When Bio and Valewski arrived at Mathilde's mansion, the time had quietly reached early morning.
Bio and Valewski pushed open the half-open door and entered the mansion.
"Your Excellency Bio, Your Excellency Valewski!" As soon as they entered the mansion, Bio and Valewski immediately saw the maid responsible for taking care of Princess Mathilde's daily life, and they hurriedly said hello to the maid.
"Your Highness the Princess has been waiting for you for a long time!" the maid responded meticulously.
Does the princess know we are coming?
Valewski's face showed a look of shock and fear. He immediately thought that Princess Mathilde had planted spies in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
But this only lasted a few seconds, and Walewski's inner uneasiness disappeared, because spying was not a big deal.
If you think about it carefully, you will know that if His Majesty the Emperor is so strict in supervising the people of the empire, then naturally he will not relax his supervision of the imperial bureaucrats who hold real power.
Remember, his father, Emperor Bonaparte, also relied on the army and secret police to rule France.
"Then please take us there!" Bio responded to the maid with a smile.
Under the leadership of the maid, Bio and Valewski entered the room.
At this time, Princess Mathilde was sitting on the sofa. The arrival of Bio and Valewski made Princess Mathilde turn her attention to them.
"Your Highness!" Bio and Valewski bowed to Mathilde at the same time.
Mathilde invited Bio to sit down with Valewski and asked Valewski about the telegram.
"Your Highness!" Walewski hurriedly handed the telegram to Princess Mathilde.
Princess Mathilde only briefly glanced at the contents of the telegram, then scolded Shuyuan www.zhaoshuyuan.com in a proud tone: "Hey! I didn't let him go, but he insisted on going. It's been more than a month. In the past, we have only annihilated more than 50,000 people!"
"Your Highness, your Majesty's achievement is comparable to that of Emperor Napoleon! When Emperor Napoleon first commanded the army, he was nothing more than this!" Speaker Pio heard Princess Matilda's overt praise and covert criticism, and he He quickly complimented him.
"Just him?" Princess Matilda continued: "He is far worse than his uncle! (Princess Mathilde paused, pretending to be nonchalant) However, he is just so-so!"
"Your Royal Highness, I think the empire should be well publicized!" Speaker Pio put forward his own idea: "It is best to bind your majesty to Sevastopol so that the citizens of the empire can think of Sevastopol. When I see you, I will immediately think of His Majesty!"
