Chapter 1430 Trojan Horse Scheme
Chapter 1431 “Mark”
On Easter, April 18, 1802, Napoleon was going to attend mass at Notre Dame de Paris, and Josephine would attend. What to wear on that occasion was a very troublesome matter.
If you dress too luxuriously, it will damage Napoleon's reputation for simplicity; if you dress too simple, it will not be suitable for that kind of solemn occasion.
Napoleon wanted the church to hold mass for the French soldiers who died in the Patriotic War, while Caprara asked the constitutionalist priests to repent. After a period of stalemate, the two parties finally compromised and reconciliation began with the Easter sacrament. So stomachache
Georgiana wouldn't go on any occasion. If she didn't go, of course she wouldn't have to think about what to wear, which would "relieve" Josephine's worries.
Before the formal political-religious agreement was signed, the two sides prepared at least ten versions of the draft, so renegotiation of the peace treaty was not a big deal at all.
Lily said that she didn't believe in Santa Claus when she was in elementary school.
The Queen cannot dissolve Parliament, but she can dissolve the Cabinet and replace the Prime Minister. The Prime Minister has the power to dissolve Parliament, provided that he controls a majority of the parties.
Napoleon forced the dissolution of Parliament by force. For many educated people, returning to the embrace of God is unacceptable. But now Napoleon wants to pass laws related to the political and religious agreement. For this matter, the Senate will protect the people.
The Senate, Senate, and Legislative Yuan all opposed him.
It would be convenient to replace those who oppose him with those who support him and then vote.
Although Brognar can also be flattering, he has professional knowledge and will be put to good use in the future. However, he will not be the director of Sèvres as a member of Parliament.
The relationship between politicians and corruption basically ruins their futures. Josephine was also involved in it in the past. Her young lover Hippolyte Charles had a very close relationship with Bodin Company, such as Barras,
When people like Talleyrand were involved in economic scandals, the public would hardly react much, but it would be different if they were "national heroes."
What Napoleon did was similar to what Qin Shihuang did when he first established the empire. The first thing he did was to collect weapons. When he met Josephine, it was because he had collected Beauharnais's sword. What he had to do next was
"Burning books and entrapping Confucians".
The Qin State during the Warring States Period practiced Legalism, law, medicine, science, and military. These people were all useful to Napoleon, but he didn't need it because he was partial to the humanities. Brognier had a good chance of becoming a member of the parliament, provided he found someone
On the other hand, if he is as opposed to the church and the agreement between church and state as those "retired" congressmen, then no matter how hard he tries to please, he will never become a congressman.
Georgiana had pointed out the method and direction to Brognard, and whether he could accept it or not was his own question.
Compared with building three 40-horse water pumps, Napoleon chose to use a height difference method to supply water to Paris, so that the cost would not be borne by the people of the city. This is wise. Paris has learned to pay to drink water.
People will definitely feel happy when they get free water, but it will be difficult to ask them to charge for it in the future.
The water meter is used to control water use, not to collect fees. It does not need to be particularly accurate. Georgiana asked Brognard to introduce someone.
Perhaps because her chirping words confused Broniard, or maybe he was deeply moved, Broniard came closer and told Georgiana a secret in a voice that only the two of them could hear.
Rumors had circulated since March that, in exchange for a certain bribe, relatives of the First Consul might agree to calm Bonaparte's rage, and would help Talleyrand if Talleyrand also benefited.
Georgiana remembered the last time Napoleon was angry with her, and suddenly understood what was going on.
She asked Madame Jeanlis to send him out, and then she lay on the Recamier lounge chair and stared at the orange grove outside the window in a daze.
"Are you free?" She was quiet for a while when she heard Louvre Truman say.
"What do you want to do?"
"The Minister of Magic wants to meet with you to discuss cooperation with the Quidditch World Cup." Louvre took off his invisibility cloak and said.
"The French Ministry of Magic has other things to do now. They have to solve financial problems first." Georgiana said calmly.
"She hopes not to introduce Muggle wars into the wizarding world." Louvre added.
"Who was the one who stole information last time at St. Luke's?"
"I don't know that."
"I feel relieved to see you." Georgiana said weakly, "There is a person from my hometown protecting me, but you have to be careful, the people around you are not friendly."
"Why did you choose Napoleon? Wouldn't it be better to stay in Britain and serve the royal family?" Louvre said again.
"You may not have noticed that the Hanoverian royal family is German, and now the Germans are ruling Great Britain." Georgiana said calmly, "The European royal families in 1802 were not normal. George III of England, King Christian VII of Denmark, Portugal
Queen Maria is a diagnosed mental patient. Tsar Alexander is still normal, but he has lived a double life in the shadow of Queen Catherine for so many years. It is difficult to say whether he will have any mental problems, so in comparison
Napoleon’s destructive desire is still within the scope of a normal person.”
"How can that lunatic who disrupted the European order be normal?"
"What's the difference between a madman and a genius? There are very few Muggles who can make me feel inferior. He is so much younger than me, and I still can't help but use honorifics when talking to him." Georgiana sighed endlessly.
If I were another man, I would definitely not cheat on my husband or even endure being his mistress. I want to break free from his control, but I think this may be difficult to do."
"Why?"
"This is privacy." She said coldly.
"What if I ask?" Napoleoni's loud voice came from outside the door.
"You have dog ears? You can hear them from so far away." Georgiana sarcastically said.
Bonaparte, wearing the uniform of a colonel of the Chasseurs, jumped to the door, looking like an actor on stage.
"Which do you prefer, the Trojan horse or Leonardo da Vinci's bronze horse?"
"One brought destruction to Troy, and the other was destroyed by the French, what do you think?" She watched helplessly as he walked to her couch and sat down like an Italian hooligan.
"What you kicked down was my sculpture. Aren't you afraid of being punished?"
"I thought you were going to fight me for that sad artist."
"How long are you going to stand here?" Bonaparte looked at Louvre with a different face.
Louvre left directly.
He looked at her back and shook his head, then moved closer to Georgiana and placed his head on her belly.
"Next time another statue like this comes, can you help me kick it?"
"Then others will say that I am barbaric and uneducated."
"Aren't you a Scotswoman?"
"There are also civilized people in Scotland. I would like to order some threshing machines, or find the engineer who invented that machine. I heard that he is not doing well."
"How much do you want?"
"You can find someone to talk to about this. I'm only responsible for introducing you."
"I want something that will let others remember that it was made by me, not Trajan or Leonardo da Vinci." He played with the tassels on the lounge chair and said a little lonely, "It's not that ugly statue either."
"Your skin is as glowing as white porcelain." Georgiana teased, "Why don't you try bronzer next time."
He sat up straight again and grabbed her ears with his hands. She quickly covered them to prevent him from catching them.
After a while, he became quiet again, and then said calmly, "When is your reception going to be held?"
"In two days."
"I will be there for half an o'clock, and you will call Joseph, for this occasion cannot be without him."
"Isn't he in Amiens?"
"Kornwalla is in Paris, what is he doing alone in Amiens?" He suddenly turned around and smiled maliciously at her, "The land soaked in blood will become more fertile and produce more ears of wheat in the coming year. Saint
I originally planned to return the forest on the outskirts of Germany to the exiles, but the family that originally occupied the forest alienated me because of it, and now they have come to curry favor with me."
"Why?"
"They believe that black magic has been used in that forest and it has been cursed." Napoleon smiled strangely. "Should I find someone to sprinkle some holy water?"
"You tell them that there is no magic in this world." Georgiana smiled evilly and said, "They are superstitious."
He was silent for a while, and then said, "The last time Hortense and Louis got married, Josephine wanted to hold a religious ceremony with me, but I didn't agree to her..."
"I don't think it's appropriate to have an Easter wedding," Georgiana said coldly.
"You don't want me to have a ceremony with her?"
"It's just that the time hasn't come yet." She said with a hard heart, "You said you hope she can be happy."
The smile on Napoleoni's face disappeared.
He stood up angrily and walked out quickly.
"Severus saved my life with his life. I can't be too sorry for him." She looked at the empty door and said, "I'm sorry, Leon."
Then she lay back on the recliner, looking half-dead.
