Conversations in the Palace of Versailles slowly turned into discussions and then into arguments. The intensifying conflicts and contradictions in the country have deepened the worries of the rulers. Now Napoleon III and Empress Eugenie have realized that France is on the verge of a revolution.
One careless step can lead to a cliff. The tragic scenes during the Revolution are still vivid in our minds. No one wants to be the next emperor to be guillotined! But the situation is not optimistic, and the aggressive French people have been trying to pull the emperor off the throne.
As long as you hold something like rights in your hands, no one can give it up easily. Since they are unwilling to give in, the only solution for now is to launch a war to divert the contradictions among the domestic people.
The goal is the same, but there are some small differences in the specific operations. Queen Eugenie supports direct war and cutting the mess quickly, while Napoleon III has some bad premonitions!
He believed that he would not easily use weapons before he had a clear understanding of Prussia's situation and extensive diplomatic mediation.
The dispute lasted until after dinner, and Napoleon III didn't know what kind of evil venereal disease his wife had contracted today! He changed his usual calmness and became very irritable.
He may not realize that Queen Eugenie is actually a very ordinary mother. When he realizes that the situation will affect the actual interests of his son, maternal instinct will overcome all reason. At this moment, she is completely acting according to the instinct of a woman. Think.
There is no sense! There are no trade-offs! There is no patience! He will risk his life for anyone who dares to touch his son's interests.
In her eyes, if a great revolution really happened, it would have nothing to do with the death of the old man, but her son's future would not be damaged in the slightest.
Queen Eugenie actually didn't care whether the bad old man in front of her could continue to be emperor. What she cared about was that her son must become emperor. This was her true inner thought.
Just when the couple was arguing with each other, there was a sudden knock on the door, and the guard said outside, "Dear Your Majesty and Queen, the Archbishop is here! The Archbishop is suddenly coming to visit you!"
"Archbishop?" the couple said in confusion, "Why is he here now?"
Looking at the clock on the cabinet, it was already 8:30 in the evening. At this time, the archbishop had no urgent military matters to deal with. Why did he choose this moment to see the emperor?
But Catholicism is the state religion of France, and Napoleon III and his wife would never dare to be rude to the bishop.
"Please wait a moment for the Archbishop. We will bring the Bishop here in ten minutes." Taking advantage of this time, the maid ran in and took the time to tidy up the clothes of the Emperor and Empress, tidied up the mirror hall and sprayed perfume as an air freshener.
Georges Davabre is a French archbishop personally appointed by the Pope in the Vatican. He oversees all religious affairs throughout France and the French colonies.
If we put it in the Middle Ages, his power as an archbishop would definitely be much greater than that of the emperor. If it had been that era, Napoleon III should have taken the initiative to see the archbishop, but there was absolutely no reason for the archbishop to come over and take the initiative to see the emperor.
The archbishop claimed to be God's messenger in the world. He had such a high reputation, but in the middle of the night, he took the initiative to come to the emperor to discuss matters. It was indeed a bit cheap and a bit embarrassing to tell him.
But after he recalled the latest information he had just received, the archbishop couldn't care less.
The door of the Hall of Mirrors opened, and Napoleon III and Empress Eugenie stood in the hall in full dress, welcoming the archbishop with open arms.
"Oh God! Dear Archbishop, why did you come at this time? I have a few bottles of century-old Bordeaux red wine here. I hope you don't dislike it."
George Dawabur drew a cross on his chest, "Hello, Your Majesty the Emperor! Your Majesty the Queen! I am not here today to enjoy fine wine, but I have important information to tell you."
"Just two hours ago, Congressman Gambit asked someone to find me and delivered a very shocking news!"
"Is that guy Gambetta looking for you?" Napoleon III looked at the bishop in disbelief.
"Gambida did not come to me directly. He found one of my subordinates, a deputy bishop, and asked him to pass on the message to me. Just yesterday, Xiao Letian from the East sent his beautiful snake, and Brown from Brussels, Belgium Secret meeting!"
"Intelligence shows that the Chinese are preparing to secretly fund Blanqui in an attempt to incite the workers in Paris to carry out an armed uprising! You must be prepared!"
"What!" Napoleon III shouted angrily, "Where did Gambetta get the information? Is it reliable?"
"Of course the information is reliable, because it was sent back by Blanqui on his own initiative. They can't contact you directly, they can only ask Gambida to send the message!"
"But Gambetta couldn't talk to you directly, so he had to find me, hoping that I would convey this important information. God! It seems that those traitors, although they are not good for you, the emperor, they still love France. of!"
Napoleon III was like a raging lion, circling back and forth in the room, "Malicious Xiao Letian! Damn the Chinamen! They are so courageous that they dare to conspire with those traitors. He is determined. Are you going to be our enemy?"
Queen Eugenie said coldly from the side, "Don't be so naive Louis, you are enemies of life and death. Our decisive battle with the Chinese is inevitable. Xiao Letian is ready to fight us to the death. Do you expect him to do this?" Will I be lenient with you?"
"He has long been determined to be your enemy, but you are still hesitating! At this moment, besides war, what other options do we have? What other options do you think we have?"
The Archbishop of Dawapur looked at Napoleon III with compassion, "God bless your kind monarch. Although I, as God's messenger in the world, do not want to see the outbreak of war, but as the queen said, sometimes war is inevitable." An option to avoid”
"Blanquito Gambi brought a sentence. Blanqui believed that since Xiao Letian chose to communicate with them secretly and tried to spend a lot of money to arm the working class. This may show that the Prussians and the Chinese do not have full confidence. Defeat us head-on on the battlefield, that’s why they use intrigue!”
"Blanqui also said that although he opposes your rule, the Emperor, he has one thing in common with you, that is, everyone is extremely loyal to France. We love this land deeply and sincerely hope that this country will become more and more prosperous." The better!"
"Blanqui hopes that His Majesty the Emperor will calm down and stop brutally suppressing the working class at such a sensitive moment."
Alas, the archbishop sighed, "It's a pity that the news sent by Gambida and the others was one day late. Who could have imagined that such an accident would happen today?"
With a bang, Napoleon III punched the table, "Pierre Bonaparte! You stupid pig! You are harming the country!"
