Chapter 1479 "The one in charge"

Victor Hugo once described Notre Dame in his work "Notre Dame de Paris" as a huge stone symphony.

But Georgiana found this place very eerie. The lighting in the stone church was not good. Most of the light came from the three large rose windows and high-ceiling windows in the west and horizontal halls. These huge windows were colorful and magnificent.

The stained glass makes the sunlight less bright after passing through it, so even candles are lit during the day.

The last time Georgiana came to see the Crown of Thorns was on the second floor on the north side of the church. After entering through the door behind the organ, there are two spiral staircases. Going up is a corridor. On the platform between the corridors is the small triangular

The chapel.

The Crown of Thorns was originally hidden on the bell tower of Notre Dame de Paris. Later, the priests were worried that it would be damaged by the citizens, so they climbed to the rooster weathervane on the roof at night, allowing the holy object to escape the danger. Later, the mainland gradually became peaceful, and the priests moved it to the rooster weathervane on the roof at night.

It was taken out of the weather vane and put back in its original place.

The lighting there is very good, and you can overlook the scenery of the Seine River. It is said that there are three other sacred objects in the rooster weathervane, including the bones of Saint Genevieve, although most of her remains were in the city hall at that time.

It was burned, but part of it was rescued by the priests and hid in the weathervane together with the crown of thorns.

This time, the place where Caprara met Georgiana was not a well-known place, but the basement of Notre Dame de Paris, a place that few people except the priests knew.

Caprara was praying when Georgiana arrived there under the leadership of the priest. Georgiana did not disturb him, but looked around. There were many things that looked like construction debris and a small amount of art in the basement.

It cannot be compared with the collection of the Louvre.

"These are the ruins of this city from Roman times." Caprara said with his back to Georgiana. "Each dynasty built on the ruins of the previous one."

"Napoleoni said something similar," said Georgiana. "What do you want to see me for, father?"

Caprara stood up slowly, then turned to look at her.

"Whenever the city is in crisis, there is always a saint." Caprara said softly, "But both Joan of Arc and Saint Genevieve are virgins."

"Unfortunately, I'm not." Georgiana said with a wry smile, "Did I let you down?"

"Are you a savior or a destroyer?" Caprara asked her carefully. "If those aqueducts are really built..."

"Paris will no longer be Paris, but Rome. Do you want to tell me this too?" Georgiana sarcastically said, "Do you know how difficult it is to lay pipes from the ground?"

"Human beings do not lack the courage and perseverance to overcome difficulties. What I want to ask is, what are you doing now?" Caprara asked seriously, "Do you want to turn Paris into the 'capital of the world'?"

"I don't know." Georgiana said expressionlessly, "I was kicked out just now. Thanks to the women's shelter for taking me in, otherwise I would have been homeless."

Caprara sighed, "It seems that this is fate, child. Only those who have returned from their lost ways are qualified to be forgiven."

"I don't think they are lost." Georgiana smiled and shook her head. "They just haven't learned any lessons."

"Confession is part of faith."

"You mean those people who eat cookies during the Holy Communion ceremony? They won't repent." Georgiana still smiled and shook her head. "It seems that it's not just the nobles who have learned nothing and forgotten nothing. What on earth do you want to do with me?"

?I still have to move."

"Don't you want to say anything to me?"

"I was seriously thinking about whether to become a nun." Georgiana said seriously, "But that day I was wearing nun's clothes, and he still violated me."

Caprara closed his eyes and shook his head, turned around, took a stack of paper from the shrine, and handed it to Georgiana.

"What's this?"

"What the French did in Lombardy and Egypt." Caprara said calmly.

"I don't want to know any more sins." Georgiana did not pick up the papers. "I want to keep a clean soul."

"Napoleon told me that you chose the truth between truth and happiness." Caprara handed some papers to Georgiana. "Although I am no longer the bishop of Paris, I am still your guardian and confessor.

Marie Antoinette also had one, but he ran away when she needed him. Instead of persuading people to be good, he learned the greed and extravagance of the court. This was his sin. I don't want to be like him.

Go to the Lord in a body awaiting sin and accept the final judgment.”

"So for the sake of keeping your own soul pure, you don't care about other people's souls?" Georgiana sneered, "Who will save my soul?"

"After reading this information, I will tell you a secret." Caprara said expressionlessly.

"About what?"

"Read it," Caprara said forcefully.

Georgiana hesitated for a moment, took the information, and then started reading by the dim candlelight in the basement.

All these words were typed on a typewriter, and they were in English. Napoleon's English vocabulary was impossible to understand, even though it was not encrypted.

Napoleon collected a large amount of military taxes in Lombardy. In addition, he also had to clear out a large number of pro-Austrian parties who opposed him. This party was composed of some nobles and monks. Napoleon needed the independents and the overwhelming majority of the residents.

support.

He was particularly good at using the slogan of freedom, distributing a large amount of propaganda materials, and handing over the administrative power of provinces, cities and villages to the residents themselves, allowing the residents to elect the most fair and well-respected person for this job.

Police services are all handed over to the National Guard. These National Guards are also composed of Lombards, but they are modeled after France. They also use red, white, and blue as the colors of their flags, replacing them with democracy and republic.

came under the rule of the Austrian Governor.

The bottom line of this information is supplemented by the opinion that the judges of the courts should also be chosen from local people, and that the governor was responsible only for the death penalty.

The latter information talks about Napoleon's handling of the ownership issue in Egypt. Napoleon had coordinated with the "Orientals" to deal with this matter. The land that formerly belonged to the so-called "Wasiya" of Muretazim was still owned by them, and he proposed to

Part of the land of the village community is used as "vasiya" to compensate for the loss of land rent. For other land that does not belong to "vasiya", no more than a quarter of the harvest is turned over as land rent, and the rest belongs to the farmers themselves.

In addition, there are some supplements, such as allowing local students to study in France and instructing them in medicine, mechanics, law, accounting and other knowledge.

These additional terms were not mentioned anywhere, but Georgiana knew it well.

"Why don't you just tell him?" Georgiana looked away from the information and looked at Caprara.

"A poor widow gave away all the silver coins she had. I think God will reward her." Caprara said softly, "Now it's up to you to decide whether to tell him this."

"You put all the blame on me?"

"Are you still so hopeful that the French will win?"

Georgiana said nothing.

"How are you feeling now?"

"We women usually say 'nothing'," she said with a smile, and then her face changed, "I'm very angry!"

"Do you know why?" Caprara asked.

"I'm so disgraced... I don't have to go through this at all." She cried and said, "Who is more stupid than me in this world!"

"I mean, why is this storm focused on you?" Caprara said softly, "Do you know who the Governor of Paris is?"

"Juno."

"He hated the British very much. He was supposed to sail back to France in October 1799, but he was seriously injured in a duel and was captured by the British on the way. Later he came back after exchanging prisoners, and his mind was a little bit abnormal.

, the reason why he duels with others is because someone insults the god in his eyes, Napoleon, do you know the reason? "

"Juno told him about Josephine," Georgiana whispered.

"He was confused. He focused all his hatred on the British. When Bonaparte ordered the arrest of the British, he did not hesitate and carried it out without any dissuasion. Later Bonaparte was troubled by this matter.

Feeling regretful, he sent Juno to Spain as ambassador. The current governor of Paris was succeeded by Marmont. He was only a 'manager' and did not have the title of governor. In addition, even the private position of introducing women to Bonaparte was

Marmont took over."

Georgiana sneered.

"Marmont's father is a retired royal official who owns an iron smelting plant. Do you understand why now?"

"Sometimes I really wish he had been divorced." Georgiana wiped away her tears. "It's a pity that he is not an ungrateful person."

"Even when Napoleon was at his lowest, Marmont did not abandon him and still followed him. He and Juno were both Napoleon's confidants. Do you think you can defeat them?"

"I'm not even sure if I want to help the French." Georgiana said coldly, "As long as the chickens are caught, they won't crow."

Caprara smiled "Cicero?"

"Did you watch it too?"

"It's a pleasure to read and discuss with you." Caprara smiled cheerfully.

"They have done all these things and forgotten them," Georgiana said, looking at the paper in her hand.

"You can burn it with your flame." Caprara's eyes reflected the flickering candlelight.

"If I do this, won't it be in vain that you type this information in English?" Georgiana rolled it up.

"I think this is fate. When he was in the desert, Napoleon also saw English newspapers and decided to return home." Caprara said with his hands behind his back, "He hopes that you can set up a girls' school and teach wealthy people together with the nuns.

woman."

"I can't teach them." She refused directly. "Do you have anything else?"

"Please have mercy," Caprara said. "Mariana."

"I don't know how many names you are going to give me, but these names are not me." Georgiana sneered and said, "You know what I am thinking now? I hope they can both lose and die together."

"This is also a choice." Caprara said calmly, "The Doomsday Judgment will pass through the sea of ​​fire, and your power is the judgment."

Georgiana paid no more attention to him.

She has a crazy plan in her mind, which will be a very harmonious and beautiful society.

Of course she won't tell it because it's a secret that can't be told.
