"I thought you were being hunted down and were going to take refuge with me." Joseph laughed, "But you came just in time to have dinner together." ”

He ushered Armand in, and then turned to the maid who was busy in the other room, and shouted, "Aunt Sophie, go and get a set of utensils for my friend." ”

After speaking, he sat down, looked at Armand and said, "What, what kind of high-end invitation did you get to ask me to come over and cheer you on?" ”

"I did get a special invitation to perform at the Palais Royal." Armand proudly showed off.

"Ah, you're really famous now." Joseph laughed.

By this time, Sophie had already brought the cutlery.

"Aunt Sophie, please help me take out the bottle of brandy from my cupboard, I want to have a drink with Armand to celebrate." Joseph said happily.

"Hmm." Sophie answered, and turned away.

"But Armand, I may not be able to go to this show of yours." Joseph said with a look of regret. Now that the outbreak of the Revolution is just around the corner, although Joseph learned the history of his previous life from a physical education teacher, he also knows that for a period of time after the Revolution, until his cheap brother Napoleon stepped onto the political stage, the political situation in France was to "coax you to sing and let me take the stage", today the nobles and royalists will hang street lamps, tomorrow they will hang profiteers and traitors, and the day after tomorrow, it will be the turn of sans-culottes and hooligans...... In short, during this period of time, the political changes were too drastic and too dangerous, and Joseph felt that it was better to keep a certain distance from the politicians now.

"No, no, no, Joseph, you're mistaken." "The invitation I'm talking about is not an invitation to this performance. I know you're busy, and this isn't the premiere, so I'm not going to invite that many friends anymore. ”

"And what are you talking about the invitation?" Joseph had a vague premonition.

"It's an invitation from a club." Armand said as he pulled out the invitation from his side and handed it over.

Joseph took the letter and first glanced at the envelope, which read: "Opened by Mr. Joseph Bonaparte." The dragon and phoenix dance at the sign is famous: "Maximilien François Marie Isidore de Robespierre".

Before Joseph could figure out who it was, Aunt Sophie had already brought the bottle of brandy.

"Thank you, Aunt Sophie." Armand took the bottle and poured himself a glass first, and then half a glass for Joseph.

"Maximilien François Marie Isidor de Robespierre...... Robespierre! Joseph finally understood that the last name in the long list of names made him break out in a cold sweat.

"Yes, Representative Robespierre. The Incorrosive. Armand replied as he drank.

Joseph lowered his head and pulled the letter from his envelope, looking at it as a way to hide his horror.

"What, Joseph?" Armand more or less noticed that something was wrong with Joseph, and said, "If you are too busy with things, you can not go." Anyway, it's just an invitation from a club, what's wrong with that? ”

"If you can't go, who wants to go!" Joseph thought. He knew that at this time, he did not go because he was "busy with scientific research", and probably Robespierre would not be too angry. But if Robespierre is not angry now, that does not mean that Robespierre will not be angry in the future.

Now Robespierre is not angry, it is because his status is not higher than Joseph, and he cannot treat Joseph as well. But in the future, when a rich city is at his feet, and a powerful country is in his hands, when he can guillotine anyone who has offended him with a single word, will he be so tolerant when he thinks about it again? Joseph was not at all sure about this. Because that's the legendary "Killer King" Robespierre!

However, this invitation invited him to participate in the "Brittania Club", and it seems that it is not the "Jacobin Club". (Joseph's history was taught by a physical education teacher, so he had no idea that the "Brittania Club" was the predecessor of the "Jacobin Club.") It shouldn't be too much of a deal to join it. Besides, not all of the people who have joined the Jacobin Club have been guillotined. But if you are hated by the "Great Demon King" and can't think of guillotine, the chances are much smaller.

"There's always time to go and participate." Joseph looked up and said, "Of course, unlike the delegates after all, I am unlikely to attend every one of their rallies. ”

"Of course, that's not a problem at all." Amandau, looking at his expression, did not understand at all how much trouble he had caused Joseph.

"Well, I'm very honored to have this invitation." Joseph said.

"Shall we have a drink, then?" Armand never misses the opportunity to drink with others.

"Okay." Joseph put on a smile and raised his glass......

Seeing Armand away, Joseph couldn't help but scold: "TMD! "This classmate is so capable of causing trouble, and now he has provoked the big demon king, this is really ......

But swearing doesn't solve the problem anymore. So Joseph could only calm himself down first, and then think carefully about how he should deal with it.

……

Soon it was time for the invitation to arrive, and Joseph changed his clothes, got into a light carriage, and left Paris to the royal tennis court near Versailles. This is where the Constituent Assembly meets, and the "Club of Friends of Constitutionalism" now uses a hall in the Royal Family Tennis Court as their place of activity.

Joseph got out of the carriage outside the gate of the royal tennis court and handed the invitation to the janitor. After a while, he saw a neatly dressed young man approaching.

"May I ask if it is Monsieur Bonaparte? I am Robespierre, a delegate to the Constituent Assembly. The young man held out his hand to Joseph.

"It's a pleasure to have you invited." Joseph replied.

Robespierre took Joseph into the royal tennis court, and as he walked, he introduced Joseph to the various buildings around him.

When the two of them walked into the event hall of the "Constitutional Friends Club", it was already full of people. Robespierre talked to the others from time to time, introducing Joseph to those friends, his face full of smiles, and he did not see the momentum of the "Great Demon King" at all.

"Hey, Bonaparte, I didn't expect to see you here." While Joseph was following Robespierre and his friend talking, a voice came.

Joseph turned his head and saw the Duke of Orleans striding over.

"Your Royal Highness, I didn't expect you to be here?" Joseph said as he bent down and saluted.

"Don't be so polite, we're old friends." The Duke of Orleans patted him on the shoulder affectionately and said, "What? It was strange to see me in the Brittania club. What's so strange about this, I'm also a pro-constitutional, and a member of the Breton Club. ”

Indeed, such great nobles as the Duke of Orleans, the Marquis de Lafayette, were members of the Brittan Club, and even the leaders of this club for a time.

In fact, in the original history, the Breton Club, later known as the Jacobin Club, became a radical leftist organization, and that was only at the time of the trial of Louis XVI. Because of the different attitudes towards the king, the Jacobin Club split, in the club elections, Robespierre, who was a radical advocate of the death penalty for the king, was elected president, and a group of pro-royal people left the club under the leadership of the Marquis de Lafayette, and the Jacobin Club became a radical leftist organization. The Duke of Orleans, on the other hand, remained in the Jacobin Club, hoping to use the power of the Jacobins to kill Louis XVI so that he could become King of France. As a result, stealing chickens did not lead to rice, but instead put himself on the guillotine.

"Bonaparte, I introduce you to a friend. He's wanted to get to know you for a long time. Said the Duke of Orleans.

Then he looked to the left and right, and then to one of the servants who was with him, and went over there to call Gilbert.

The servant went to the left. Joseph followed him with his gaze and saw a tall middle-aged man in a wig talking there. The servant went over, and when the man had finished talking, he whispered something to him. Then Joseph saw the man look up and look this way. He apparently noticed Joseph too, smiled at him, and strode over.

"Gilbert, I'm here to introduce you to a friend." The Duke of Orleans said, "This is our genius scientist Bonaparte, well, with the same name as mine, Joseph Bonaparte." It's the one that accurately measured the speed of light. ”

Then he turned around and introduced the tall middle-aged man in front of him to Joseph: "This is the Marquis de Lafayette, the hero of North American independence. ”

This person, Joseph knows a little, this is still due to the fact that on the forum of later generations, someone asked what to think of the Emperor of God said that if there is no sister, you see, the French will have to speak German? Someone replied: "If it weren't for the French army led by Lafayette sent by King Louis, Washington would have been hanged by the British for treason—of course, the Emperor still speaks English, but his title would have changed from Commander General to Governor." Then some do-gooders added the honorific title of "Father of the United States" to Louis XVI.

And after this era, Joseph knew that because Lafayette was one of the few French generals who won the war against England, he had a high prestige in the army. He then saluted the Marquis de Lafayette: "It is an honour to meet you, Lord Marquis. ”
