Chapter 1182 “Bonaparte Freedom”

The men were plotting a coup while the women and servants were playing tennis in the garden.

At first, Pomona really didn't recognize the young girl playing tennis.

Later, she learned from the gossips of the servants that she was Napoleon's favorite sister, Pauline Bonaparte, a woman who would not have a very good reputation in the future.

Catholics are often very fertile. Napoleon's mother gave birth to thirteen children, and Pauline was the sixth, eleven years older than her second brother Napoleon Bonaparte.

From a woman's point of view, Paulina is very lively and seems a bit frivolous, not at all like a mother who has given birth to a child.

Beside the tennis court, there was a maid holding her one-year-old child. The child's father was named Charles Leclerc.

According to the information provided by Severus, he and Napoleon met during the siege of Toulon. Later, Leclerc was appointed by Napoleon as the commander-in-chief of France in Italy. Regardless of his sister's objection, Napoleon betrothed her to France after France occupied Milan.

Of Charles.

Due to physical discomfort, Leclerc was forced to resign from the military and was transferred to Paris and later to Brittany to guard the Rhine. Pauline and her son did not go with him.

Now she is still playing with the women, but judging from various signs, Pomona is almost certain that Paulina will have another lover.

Pauline did not love Charles, so she had no self-consciousness as a married woman, and she did not restrain herself even after having children.

It is said that she once met the Governor of Marseille under the introduction of Napoleon, who was her lover. However, her second brother, whether for political purposes or to win over people's hearts, forcibly betrothed her to someone he did not love.

Although Napoleon is so prosperous now, Napoleon's family was once so poor that he had to rely on the women in the family to do laundry for others in exchange for income.

Lucien Bonaparte was an outspoken speaker. During the Reign of Terror, his family was chased to mainland France because of inappropriate remarks he made at the Jacobin Club in Corsica.

He called himself Brutus at the time. Brutus was one of Caesar's assassins and a staunch republican.

During the Reign of Terror, the Jacobins had become a symbol of dictatorship and terror.

There are always black sheep in every family. Lucien and Pauline are undoubtedly the younger siblings who give Napoleon a headache, but he himself is not a very stable and reliable figure in the eyes of his eldest brother Joseph.

Napoleon's father died early, and Joseph has always played the role of the head of the family.

In the Godfather movie, Vito Creone had four children, Sonny, Feredo, Mike and Coni. Vito's position was originally supposed to be inherited by Sonny, but Sonny died in an assassination between gangs.

In the end, Mike, who was unwilling to inherit the family business, became the new godfather.

This made it difficult for Fernando, the second brother of Mike and Coni, to deal with himself. After his father and eldest brother died, he should be the one to take care of the two younger siblings, not Mike.

Joseph's mood may be the same as Fernando's, but who calls his brother Napoleon?

Before the coronation ceremony, Napoleon and Joseph had a fierce conflict. Napoleon once said: "You must have forgotten that without me, my brothers would have accomplished nothing. It was I who made them so prosperous today...Joseph

He is not the material to be an emperor. He is older than me. I will definitely live longer than him and I am very healthy now. More importantly, his status is too low and he should not have any illusions about it... He comes from the same background as me.

Ordinary, but I have improved my status by relying on my own strength, while he still maintains the status when he was born. To be the emperor of France, you must have noble blood, or have the ability to stand out from the crowd, so this throne must

It must be inherited by our younger generation, because he will be born into the royal family."

Napoleon was born in an era when the aristocracy had a monopoly on the upper class. The Great Revolution destroyed this monopoly, and he reintroduced the hereditary system. This is what he is most criticized for.

The army is different from other places. It relies on strength and achievements. Prince Eugen is known as the God of War, and he earned it step by step on his own.

Napoleon III surrendered in the war against Prussia, and Paris immediately rioted.

At their core, the French still love triumph as much as the Romans. They would rather spend a lot of money to build a flashy triumphal arch than to spend money to build an "ordinary city gate" that has tax, administrative and aesthetic functions.

It is said in The Prince that if you can win the conquest, then there is nothing to say, but if you refuse to give up if you lose, and you have invested too much, you will have to bear the consequences.

This is true for foreign conquests, let alone the Patriotic War. The era in which Napoleon III lived was still an era in which fathers were heroes and sons must also be heroes. That’s why Ismail gave the dagger of Pharaoh Camos to Napoleon III.

"We should go back," Pomona whispered. "There's no use getting stuck in these past memories."

"He just looked at me." Severus said, looking at the two girls playing tennis.

"Who is he? Napoleon?" Gong Saiyi asked.

Severus didn't answer.

"Did you see it wrong?" Pomona asked.

"This place is not all memory. I don't know what kind of place this is."

Pomona subconsciously looked at the thread on her wrist, and it was still tight.

"We can't go back immediately until we investigate this place clearly. Maybe there are our 'reinforcements' here." Severus added, "Do you think there will be war in the underworld?"

"People are already dead, can they still be killed?" Gong Saiyi asked.

"There is the Asura Path in Buddhism. Anyone who follows this path must fight non-stop. Even if the Asuras are kind in nature, they will fall because of this." Pomona said helplessly, "They could have lived a very happy life."

"What determines who we become is not our abilities, but our choices." Severus smiled sarcastically. "Do you think this is correct? Mr. Leroy."

Gong Saiyi did not answer immediately.

"I saw an interesting statement in a biography of Napoleon. The reason why the revolution flourished was because when the people of Paris took action, they always encountered opponents who rushed into battle. Napoleon was the first to seriously prepare for war.

When the royalists rebelled, he turned the popular guild into a fortress and even gave weapons to the parliamentarians. They were like frightened quails. Later, they were even more frightened when they heard that Napoleon was going to use cannons, but Duy

There was no artillery or ammunition in the Palais de Lely. At that time, a young cavalryman was ordered to go to the Sablon barracks northwest of Paris to bring forty cannons. If it were you, would you dare to fire at those people? "

Gong Saiyi didn't answer him again.

"Look outside and imagine that the streets are full of heavily armed people, and the parliament is full of trembling lawyers and civil servants. There are even soldiers around you who are shrinking and want to make peace with the people. You will order a fire.

, or surrender?”

"What about you? Sir, can you do it?" Gong Saiyi asked.

Severus showed his yellow teeth and smiled in the most evil way.

"Napoleon gave the order to open fire. After the sound of the cannon, blood dyed the road red, and the troublemakers fled in all directions. Two hours later, the streets of Paris were empty." Severus looked at the door that was closed after Josephine left.

"A few years later, when he came back from Egypt, the Parisians even regarded him as a hero, and they rolled out the red carpet for him."

"But some people have good memories." Pomona said coldly. "On Christmas Day 1800, on his way to the opera house, Napoleon was assassinated. Since then, he has reduced the number of visits to the opera house and changed it to

Listening to the opera in the palace."

"How do you know this?" Severus asked.

"A wise man told me." Pomona said coldly, "He also told me that a person's origin is not important, what is important is what kind of person he grows up to be. This is because I chose you instead of...

…”

"That's enough." Severus warned in a low voice. He glanced at Gong Saiyi, whose eyes were full of inquiry.

"Dreams are beautiful, but people have to live in reality after all." Pomona said calmly, "No government dares to fire on the people like Napoleon. This is the 21st century, 'Sir.'"

"Are you asking for trouble again?"

"I am the basin of ice water that can clear your dizzy head." Pomona said firmly, "There is a line between imagination and paranoia. Don't cross that line."

Severus took a few deep breaths like a fire-breathing dragon and finally calmed down.

He cursed in a low voice, and just as he was about to turn around and walk towards the reception room, the closed door opened by itself, and Napoleon and his entourage filed out.

The military boots stepped on the marble floor, making a neat and loud sound. Napoleon held the saber on his waist and walked majestically at the front.

Just when she thought they were about to pass her by, Napoleon suddenly stopped.

The Corsican short man turned around very neatly, his movements were as standard as in military training, but he tilted his head and squinted his eyes to look at Severus, who was taller than him, looking very arrogant and rude.

"Who are you?" Napoleon asked in accented French.

Gong Saiyi acted as an interpreter again at this time.

"A British traveler." Severus said with a smile in a standard Queen's accent, "It's an honor to meet you, General Bonaparte."
