Although Teresa's tone was very calm, Aigron had been with her for so long, so he could certainly detect the displeasure hidden in her words.
He soon realized that he had been negligent - how could he show such admiration and affection to another woman in front of his wife?
What's more, it was Agnes.
If he praised Chanel or others, Theresa might not care too much, but Agnes was different, because even though she couldn't compare to Theresa overall, her qualities in some aspects were enough to make Tereza stand out.
Lesa felt that she was dwarfed, so she could feel the pressure of being approached more and more.
To put it bluntly, it's jealousy.
Aigron thought that he was so excited that he forgot about this for a while, which made Theresa unhappy.
In order to save the atmosphere, he deliberately pretended that nothing happened, and then made up for it smoothly, "Ah, I think so! Agnes doesn't like high-profile, how could she agree to show off in public? Besides, she is a princess.
, her family will not allow her to show up in public... Hey, it seems that I have lost my mind."
Seeing Agron say this, Teresa's face finally looked better, "That's right. And another point is, how could someone as proud as Agnes allow herself to pretend to be someone else and use someone else's name and image to
How about accepting praise from the world? Even if she plays the role of a saint, she can't bear it."
Aigron is convinced of this.
So, he skipped the topic and stopped discussing it with Teresa.
But deep down in his heart, he still didn't give up on his sudden idea.
Which young person doesn’t have a bit of a saint/girl complex in his heart? What’s more, after all, he was once a Chinese youth in the 21st century, and it was inevitable that he would be exposed to some two-dimensional culture.
This interest will not affect his judgment and actions, and he will not waste energy because of such irrelevant interests. However, if given the opportunity, he does not mind satisfying his own little pleasure.
Agnes is indeed very suitable to play Joan of Arc.
This was not his own whim, but was double verified by Theresa inadvertently, which meant that in the eyes of others, Agnes was equally suitable.
So why not find a chance for her to try it?
Not only does it satisfy his "cultural interest", it is also a refreshing and absolutely impressive piece of publicity.
Just imagine, if the scene in Aigron's mind just now was reproduced in reality - Agnes wearing armor and riding a strong horse holding a flag to open the way, he was sitting on the chariot, arrogant in all directions, and surrounded by others
A group of followers with brand-new uniforms and shiny medals parade together on the country road. The visual impact will definitely leave an unforgettable impression on the audience.
People in the 21st century are often accustomed to various grand ceremonies and parades on live TV, as well as scenes where tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of people crowd into a venue or stadium. They have naturally become accustomed to the so-called "big scenes".
Having developed immunity, I thought it was nothing more than that, even a little funny - but for people with little knowledge in ancient times and even today, the lethality of this scene is very shocking.
In the years of China's first unification, the emperor's main means of establishing prestige in front of the world was to conduct large-scale parades. Both Liu Bang and Xiang Yu were deeply shocked by such scenes, and each said "This is how a man lives his life."
And the famous saying "He can take his place".
Even Liu Xiang, who had seen a certain amount of the world, was fascinated by it, let alone ordinary people who had never left their hometown in their lives.
This is true for Asians, and it is also true for Europeans. From ancient times to the present, there have been various grand religious parades on this land, with vast teams, led by monks holding crosses and various holy objects.
Following the country roads and leaving pious footprints in the wilderness also demonstrated the power of faith to the farmers.
And he can also play such a trick.
Agnes can play this living saint, so if the "saint" really clears the way for the heirs of the Bonaparte family, wouldn't that mean that the Bonaparte family has their destiny?
For the devoutly religious villagers, the scenes they saw with their own eyes were definitely more real than the distant Paris court.
The more Aigron thought about it, the more excited he became, and the more excited he became, the more reluctant he was to give up his good idea.
This is no longer just a selfish move to satisfy his own interests. This is a wonderful public relations move. If it can be grasped well, it can even become an important means for him to establish national prestige.
In this case, it must be done!
Agnes will definitely not be willing, and Teresa will definitely not be willing, but this is not a problem. Once he has made up his mind, he will not change it and will find a way to make this idea a reality.
Of course, now is not a good time to bring it up...just play it by ear.
After making up his mind, Aigron remained calm on the surface and continued to discuss the details of the painting with Teresa.
Of course, he was not going to just draw a picture. He was going to ask Theresa to draw a set of albums as a template, focusing on promoting the glory and splendor that the Bonaparte family had brought to France in the past, and at the same time highlighting the Bonaparte family's defense of religious beliefs.
Joan of Arc has naturally become one of the characters who appears frequently.
In the "image" he hoped to export, Napoleon did not expand the territory for the sake of his family's crown and crown; nor did he fight to export the great civil code; rather, he accepted the destiny and fought against the evil enemies for the glory of France.
In the desperate battle, Austerlitz is the place where God descended into glory, Moscow is the quagmire of disaster, St. Helena is the place of martyrdom, and the place where the late emperor was elevated to become a saint who protects the motherland.
Although there are some logic problems, this is not a confusion of right and wrong. At most, it is just a slight exaggeration. Anyway, as long as Aigron himself doesn't blush, it doesn't matter.
However, there is no printing place in this farm hidden in the mountains, and Aigron has no intention of making too much noise here. After these sketches are completed, he will secretly send them to Paris and give them to Ed.
Add this more professional painter to polish and process it, and then secretly engrave it and distribute it widely, using it as a promotional material for the Bonaparte family.
From the perspective of the 21st century, this is a very common and even very inefficient propaganda method. However, in today's era, this is definitely a novel method. Most people have never seen such clear indoctrination propaganda.
——In fact, because many countries are still ruled by aristocrats, the rulers do not think it is necessary to publicize ordinary people at all, and even take the initiative to isolate all information from ordinary people to prevent the outside world from interfering with the peasants' "
Simple".
The first person to try will always get the greatest reward, because he has opened up a market that no one has ever set foot on, and there are countless confused and ignorant leeks waiting for him to harvest. He is the first to cross the natural chasm.
Of course, it sounds simple, but in fact it is a very mentally consuming job. It is very hard for Aigron to conceive, and Teresa has to figure out Aigron's ideas while implementing them on paper, and sometimes she has to assist Aigron in brainstorming.
It can be said that she racked her brains to make up for it. If she hadn't received a good education since she was a child and had the habit of painting, she might not be able to cope with it.
However, although she was very tired, Teresa did not feel it was hard. On the contrary, the couple's "co-creation" not only made her feel that she had helped her husband, but also allowed her and His Highness to have spiritual discussions at any time.
Resonance, and in the process, she became more and more aware of His Highness's talent and sensitivity.
This is Your Highness, the person I have chosen.
I married His Highness, the only one in the world, and formed an unparalleled family with him... Every time she thought of this, she felt overflowing with happiness, and her writing felt like divine help.
On a sunny morning, the project was completed in stages. Teresa looked at the snow outside the window and looked at a stack of white paper on her desk.
With the joint efforts of Agron and Teresa, the imaginary images lingering in Agron's mind were faithfully restored to paper, and finally a pencil drawing album was formed.
Everyone has a selfish mentality and always thinks that the thing they put their energy into will be better than others, but Teresa felt that even if she abandoned this pride, she and Her Highness had completed a work of art.
Looking at this picture album, Teresa's heart was filled with a sense of happiness and accomplishment.
Where is this picture album? This is a testimony of her and His Highness's life and the crystallization of their wisdom.
"Your Highness, what should we name it?" she asked.
Aigron doesn't care about this at all, after all, this is just a draft, there is no need to name it specially.
But since Teresa asked this, he thought about it and then answered, "Then let's call it "Glory Painting Book - Volume 1"? After all, this is the first thing in history made by the emperor and empress themselves.
!I dare say that there may not be any newcomers in the next few hundred years."
"It's too tacky." Teresa felt a little disappointed, and then immediately shook her head and rejected the name, "It sounds like it was written by a priest. It's too boastful and not simple enough."
"Then what do you think it should be called?" Aigron immediately understood Teresa's intention and took the initiative to ask.
"How about calling it "The Hand Collection"?" Teresa looked at Agron with interest, "This is a creation that the two of us have poured our hearts into together! In the future, if we have the opportunity, we can also create together like this, not only
You can also create other things to depict propaganda... When creating these, we are not the emperor and the queen, just an ordinary couple, recording their daily life and whims, isn't that interesting?
?”
"That's great, I think it's pretty good." Aigron nodded repeatedly. Anyway, Aigron was not entangled in this issue. Everything Theresa said was right and he agreed with everything.
Perhaps because her romantic imagination was satisfied by Aigron, Teresa seemed to be in a very good mood. She hugged her tightly, smiling all over her face, and her eyes were full of happiness.
"Your Highness... It would have been better if we had stayed in Austria. We lived in seclusion in the manor, with only our family to accompany us, and were not disturbed by the outside world. You kept writing, and I organized the manuscript for you and produced it like today.
Illustrations, racking my brains for you, integrating my limited talents into your literary achievements...ah, think about how interesting such a life would be!"
Aiglon just smiled and caressed his wife gently.
He knew that Theresa had always longed for such a peaceful life, but he was destined to be unable to give it to her.
He has a destined mission, and everything else, no matter how dazzling, has been regarded as fuel and thrown into the furnace of ambition.
"Okay, please forgive me for my temporary willfulness. I shouldn't say this anymore. It's just that I'm greedy." Teresa did not wait for Aigron's answer, but returned to normal, "I am no longer satisfied with the current situation.
I am very satisfied, I have you by my side, and I have gotten everything I expected...how can I still be greedy? I only hope that in the future we can always be as harmonious and complete as we are today, that is enough."
Aigron felt a little guilty, but on the surface he could only accept it. "Theresa, we must keep this album for a long time. It is not only important to us, but perhaps to our descendants, it is also something they should be proud of."
Collection. Although I have to send it to Paris temporarily to let Edgar and others polish the creation based on it, I will tell them that if this thing is damaged or lost in the slightest, I will definitely forgive it.
Can’t reach them!”
Teresa was very satisfied with Aigron's answer. She nodded with a smile. "Ask them to send it back after they are finished. I will collect it myself until Francois and other children in the future arrive."
When he reaches the age of education, this will be his enlightenment reading. He can see the glorious achievements of his grandfather and the talents of his parents. Isn't this perfect? "
"Exactly!" Agron agreed.
He suddenly thought that he was a historical figure in the future, and he was currently making "historical cultural relics".
Thinking about it, in the distant future, his achievements have long been turned into dust, and his fame is rarely mentioned. However, after seeing this art work created by him and his wife, future generations can also realize that he and Teresa are in the official world.
The breath of life outside of literature.
If he could decide what to leave to history, this would be one of them.
After finishing the work with Teresa, Agron carefully bound this precious creation, put it in a box and carefully stored it, and then gave the box to his messenger.
It won't be long before this "historical relic" will reach the hands of his loyal subordinates, and through their hands, it will be turned into a painting that can be printed, and then passed on to thousands of households.
This was his silent cry to the French people and his first blow to rebuild the image of the Bonaparte family.
