Chapter 1377 c’est un diable (Part 1)

Talleyrand fell.

This is not surprising. The foreign minister is actually not lovable. On Christmas Day, the wives of ministers from various countries refused to attend the ball hosted by him. The news reached Napoleon, and he learned that Tat, who was the foreign minister during the Orange War,

Langlie received bribes from the Portuguese ambassador, Mrs. Fiola.

The ambassador's wife used to be Talanglie's lover, and later remarried the Portuguese ambassador. Although sacrificing one's life for one's country sounds great, this "diplomatic" approach still makes people feel disgusting.

France received 20 million francs in war reparations, but the benefits France received through the peace treaty were far less than those of Spain. The British representative Cornwallis was not willing to negotiate a peace treaty with Talleyrand in Amiens. Later, Napoleon sent Joseph

· Bonaparte goes.

Bonaparte's original plan to go to Lyon on January 7 was cancelled. Even if he controlled public opinion and newspapers, Talleyrand's treasonous behavior was still spread in a small area. But he still protected Talleyrand. He brought Talleyrand to justice.

Lang was "exiled" to Guadeloupe and became governor-general, but he did not appoint a new minister. There was a precedent for exiles like him changing their minds midway. Maybe Talleyrand would still use it after the news was over.

This kind of national event had nothing to do with Georgiana. After being picked up from Chaptard's house, she was sent to a suite in the Louvre.

She didn't take any luggage with her when she left last time, so she was able to pack it properly this time.

In fact, she didn't have many things, and she packed them up quickly, but Delmid held on to her clothes and refused to let her go. His mother is now in Saint-Domingue on the other side of the world, and Lequeber has no relatives in Paris.

If even Georgiana left, there would be no one to take care of the child.

He didn't have to worry about becoming a street kid. The person who brought him back from Brest was his wet nurse, Livia, who was also from Corsica. She was arranged by Letizia for her daughter.

Josephine said that marriage without children is unreal.

Indeed, parents would compromise for the sake of their children, so Georgiana put the suitcase down again.

Then she started busy looking for a painter for the restaurant in the Tuileries Palace.

She originally planned to find Denon, but Denon was still struggling with how to decorate Place Vendôme.

Originally, he planned to move Trajan's Column in Rome to the square, but later this plan was rejected. The square was built to commemorate Napoleon's achievements in Italy. Kleber's Column was moved there.

It is also not suitable. As we all know, he died in Egypt, and Desaix's monument is not suitable to be moved from Dijon.

Georgiana did not bother Denon again. The painter she wanted alive was not the painting itself. This kind of painting could not be found in the Louvre. So she made an appointment with Madame Tallien, who was the only one she knew in her narrow social circle.

Former social star.

Adult salons are not suitable for bringing children. She only wants to see paintings. After seeing the paintings, she has to accompany Delmid. But there is no zoo or the like in Paris. There is only a puppet theater that she can take him to see.

look.

Georgiana wanted to write to Paulina and ask her to collect some plants and animals from Santo Domingo, but she didn't want the animals to be kept in cages for people to visit. She wanted them to be as if they were in the Forbidden Forest.

Life.

So she took Delmir to the Meudon Forest.

As expected, her fellow British people began to transform the military camp into a small town. Delmid seemed to have no playmates of the same age, so Georgiana let him play with the children of the townspeople.

"I should become a nun." Georgiana whispered. It would be better to apply for a job in a missionary school and continue to look after other people's children.

"Can I sit down?" Thomas Granite asked.

"Please take a seat," Georgiana said with a smile, although there were other empty benches around her.

"Please take this." Granite handed her a beautifully wrapped package. "I planned to give it to you as a Christmas gift."

Only then did Georgiana remember, "I forgot to prepare a gift for you."

"Don't worry about this, just take it." Granite insisted.

Georgiana took it and after opening the red and green packaging, she found a plaid wool shawl inside.

"Thank you." She said with a smile and wrapped the shawl around her body. "It's very warm."

"If you have nowhere to go, how about coming here next time?" Granite said in English.

"I don't want to cause trouble to the people in the town," she said calmly.

"We believe that debts must be paid. If you take care of us, we will take care of you." Granite looked at Georgiana. "Even if you are Scottish."

"I thought Scotland and England were one country already," Georgiana said with a smile.

Granite laughed. "If the Scots gave in so easily, Britain wouldn't be the United Kingdom. Did you really bite him?"

"That's right." Georgiana said proudly, "He said that with my little strength, I can't fight at all."

"But you have other ways to hurt him." Granite stopped smiling. "The agreement is almost done. I need someone with a clear head. Can you not cause trouble at this time?"

"I'm not causing trouble. He wants to return to his family. They were supposed to leave for Lyon the day before yesterday."

"Then why doesn't he go?"

"How do I know?" She said coldly, "I don't care anymore."

"Is it because he plans to stay and establish diplomatic relations with Turkey?" Granite said. "I heard that you are going to hang the carpet given to him by the Sultan in the dining room of the Tuileries Palace."

"Maybe it's just because there's gold thread in the carpet," said Georgiana. "And it has a lot of admonitions written on it. I think it looks very gorgeous."

"We can also send carpets." Granite said quickly, "And I guarantee that every sentence above is excerpted from the Bible."

“Since when have you cared about God?”

"Don't be so naughty, Cecilia."

"What!" She couldn't help but raise her voice.

"He said you were a naughty guy." Granite said with a smile. "He also asked me if every British woman is that naughty."

"Bastard!" she cursed.

"Lana called him a bitch, but he was still willing to sacrifice his life for Napoleon." Granite said. "They built a lot of fortifications in Antwerp, just like they planned to turn it into a second Rhodes Island."

"I read church documents and Rhodes looked like an apple that had been bitten," Georgiana recalled. "The topography of Antwerp was not like that."

"You know what's on Rhode Island?"

"Trees, birds, grass, cow dung."

"It is a bronze statue of the Sun God, one of the seven wonders of ancient times." Granite interrupted her nonsense. "The Rhode Islanders built a magnificent city wall. Later, the Macedonian prince besieged it, resulting in a fierce battle.

Years later, the prince still failed to break through the city wall, leaving behind a giant battering ram and siege tower. The Rhode Islanders sold these siege equipment and built the bronze statue of the Sun God in Antwerp. He planned to build it in Antwerp as well.

Build an identical bronze statue of Apollo."

"Oh." Georgiana said stupidly, "That will cost a lot of money."

"It's not like he paid for it." Granit coughed. "Dutch businessmen can hold official positions in Antwerp through taxes. They paid for the statue."

"Okay." Georgiana said calmly, "So what?"

"The Sun God of Rhode Island was shaken into the sea by the earthquake, and we also plan to let that sculpture sink into the sea," Granite said.

"Why?"

Granite stood up and spread his legs. "The statue of the sun will be like this, and every ship will pass under its crotch."

Georgiana opened her mouth.

"What if, that sculpture of the sun god had the same face as Napoleon." Granite gritted his teeth and smiled.

"You must be kidding me."

"Do you think I'm joking?" Granite asked with a smile.

"That bastard," Georgiana murmured.

"I remember your reminder, be careful of ice, right, the woman in red?" Granite asked seriously.

Georgiana had nothing to say.

"The navy has lost its mind. I'm really afraid they will fall into Napoleon's trap."

"Have you reminded them?"

"Do you think the reminder is useful?" Granite said coldly.

"Maybe there's no ice on the sea..."

"Who can say for sure." Granite sighed, "If England loses its navy."

"We must be more than just a navy," Georgiana said quickly.

"But we are cutting military spending." Granite said tiredly. "It just happens to be this time."

"You should stop drinking, Diamond Boy." Georgiana stood up. "Please try to live as long as possible."

"You too, take care of yourself." Granite said softly.

"Delmid," she shouted, and the little fellow immediately abandoned his new friend and ran back to Georgiana.

"See you next time," Georgiana said to Granite.

"See you next time," Granite said calmly.

Then Georgiana took Delmid in hand and left under the escort of the Guards, just as she had left the Chaptars' house that day.

You can't blame Delmid for not being able to tell who the "uncle" who brought him here is, because there are too many "uncles" and it's impossible for a child to recognize them all.

The title is in French, meaning he is a devil
