Steven, this is the White Horse Garden, named after a White Horse sculpture completed in 1626 in the courtyard, so it is called the White Horse Garden!

After the abdication of Napoleon I, before he was forced to leave France, he said goodbye to the soldiers of the Guards here, so the White Horse Courtyard is also called the Farewell Courtyard,......"

Benois pointed to a magnificent building in front of him and explained it to everyone, and his tone revealed a bit of pride.

It is a large-scale palace complex, the main building is three to four stories high, the whole courtyard is in an open hollow structure, there are no buildings on the west side, only a row of iron fences erected high.

The main building on the southeast and north sides is Renaissance style, solemn and elegant, due to the age, the appearance of the building is slightly mottled, revealing a historical charm!

The buildings on the south and east sides of the courtyard are taller, mostly three to four storeys, while the buildings on the north side are relatively low, mostly two-storey, and only two towers are three-storey.

The main building of the palace and the White Horse Courtyard are connected by a graceful circular staircase, separated by four square grassy areas, which is one of the best examples of Renaissance style combined with French courtyard design!

In front of the main building on the east side, there is a very striking spiral staircase in the shape of a horseshoe, which is the place where Napoleon gave his farewell speech that year, and it is also the most striking attraction of the White Horse Courtyard.

Like the vast majority of tourists who come to visit the White Horse Courtyard, Ye Tian and the others came to the White Horse Courtyard mainly to see this famous horseshoe-shaped staircase and think about that famous historical moment.

They listened to Benois's commentary as they strolled through the White Horse Courtyard and admired the Renaissance-style palace complex.

As they spoke, they came to a halt in front of the horseshoe-shaped staircase.

Immediately afterwards, Benova pointed to the horseshoe-shaped staircase and said with emotion:

"It was here that Napoleon's glorious empire collapsed at 1 p.m. on April 20, 1814, and he was sentenced to exile on the island of Elba.

The carriage that was about to escort him away was already waiting in the courtyard of the white horse, and Napoleon stepped down from the right side of the horseshoe-shaped staircase, with very heavy steps, and reluctant!

After Napoleon walked down the stairs, he gave his famous farewell speech and kissed the flag in front of the Guards who had lined up in phalanxes and had followed him in all directions!"

At this point, Benoit couldn't help but pause, and then prepared to continue.

At this moment, Ye Tian suddenly interjected:

"I know that famous farewell speech, and I can even recite it in its entirety, word for word!"

Before the words fell, Ye Tian suddenly changed his voice and said in a very heavy tone:

"My dear soldiers of the Guards, I bid you farewell, for twenty years you have accompanied me on the glorious road.

But today, I must part with you, maybe I can choose to stay, but then France will be plunged into civil war, and I can no longer tear the chest of France!

I am willing to sacrifice all my interests for the sake of my country! I am gone, but you, my friends, will continue to serve France.

The happiness of France is my only thought, and it will still be the goal to which I aspire! Don't feel sorry for me, I have a mission, and for this mission, I agree to live!

This mission is to serve you honorably, to write the great achievements and history that we have created together, goodbye, my friends!

At this moment, I want to hug each and every one of you, but let me kiss this military flag that represents all of you, and I hope this last kiss will always remain in your hearts!"

As Ye Tian recited with emotion, the rest of the people at the scene were completely quiet, and only his voice echoed in the air, melodious, tragic and passionate!

At this moment, the thoughts of everyone at the scene were brought to that famous historical moment by this voice, as if they were witnessing Napoleon's sad but extremely passionate farewell speech!

Everyone seemed to see the orderly Guards saluting with their guns raised, the standard-bearers placing the Guards flag in front of Napoleon, everyone with sadness on their faces, and many with tears in their eyes!

Ye Tian's voice suddenly paused, but Betty and the French, as well as Benois and other Frenchmen, were still immersed in the artistic conception he created.

Before they could react, Ye Tian's voice had already sounded again, more passionate and heavier than just now!

"Farewell, soldiers, always heroic and kind, farewell, my friends, I bless you always, and do not forget me!"

After the recitation, the scene was completely silent, and there was no sound!

However, in the ears of Betty, Benois and other French people, the shouts of long live the emperor resounded, from the guards who had followed Napoleon to the east and west for twenty years!

In the resounding shouts of the guards, there were countless sobs of extreme sadness!

Ye Tian glanced at the scene for a week, and everyone still had an intoxicated expression, and in Benois's eyes, they could even see a little sadness.

Although Napoleon's brilliant life ended in failure, in the hearts of all French people, he was an eternal hero, and Benois was certainly no exception!

It took a few seconds for everyone to come to their senses.

Immediately afterwards, there was a sound of emotion at the scene.

"Wow! This farewell speech is so sensational, so moving, and so sad that it can make people cry when you listen to it!"

"Napoleon is a military god of a generation, and with just a passionate speech, he can set off a coup d'état and subvert a country!"

In the voice of emotion, Benois looked at Ye Tian and said:

"Steven, I didn't expect you to be so familiar with Napoleon's farewell speech, as you said, you memorized a word correctly, and the voice was very emotional, extremely touching, so surprising!

With your dedication to Chinese antiques, I thought you hated the rulers of the European powers throughout history, especially the kings and emperors of England and France in the 19th and 20th centuries!"

Ye Tian nodded lightly, then said with a smile:

"Yes, Benoit, I do hate and even hate some of the kings and emperors of England and France in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries, and even hate them, who have brought great calamity upon China!

On the contrary, I like Napoleon very much, I like his courage to be the enemy of the whole world, and I am even fascinated by his magnificent military career!

When I was in secondary school, I read a biography of Napoleon, I watched a lot of TV movies about Napoleon, and I was able to recite not only the farewell speech, but also the march to Milan."

Speaking of this, Ye Tian suddenly raised his right hand and pointed forward, reciting aloud in a passionate voice.

"Soldiers, you rushed down from the Apennines like a torrent, and you defeated and destroyed all the enemies that stood in your way.

Piedmont, liberated from Austrian tyranny, expressed a natural affection for peace and friendship with France.

Milan is yours! The flag of the Republic is flying everywhere over Lombardia!

The Duke of Parma and the Duke of Moderna were able to retain their political lives thanks entirely to your magnanimity, and the enemy forces that claim to be able to threaten you will not find any more obstacles,......"

Everyone at the scene looked at Ye Tian, and unconsciously, everyone was completely infected by Ye Tian's surging passion, and their emotions became excited.

After reciting a few sentences and marching into Milan, Ye Tian stopped, and did not fully recite this famous speech of Napoleon!

As soon as his voice fell, the scene immediately burst into warm applause.

"Bang Bang Bang"

Everyone at the scene was applauding, and they gave their own applause for Ye Tian and Napoleon, who delivered his farewell speech here more than 200 years ago, full of enthusiasm!
