Chapter 288: Revenge Begins

The first update

Also a minister at Napoleon III's side, the treatment of Ruiz and Gallian could not be described as worlds apart. When Ruiys fainted to the ground in anger, Napoleon III only glanced at him lightly, and ignored the panicked attendants around him, and instructed the people on the left and right, "Enter the palace to see how His Excellency Ruiz is doing, and then report to me, I still have something at hand, so I will not accompany you." ”

Then Napoleon III turned around and returned to his study, leaving the stunned crowd unconcerned, ignoring the foreign secretary who was still lying on the ground behind him.

The emperor openly showed favoritism, and I am afraid that only Garion can enjoy this kind of treatment.

When he returned to the study, Garion, who was sitting on the sofa, was about to get up to greet him, but he waved his hand to interrupt him, and said kindly, "No need, Your Excellency Garion has worked hard and made great contributions to me. The information you gave allowed Paris to unravel the conspiracy that Proudhon's followers had been planning for years, and it was a loyal servant to save the French Empire. Alas, if my courtiers could be half of Garion's, the empire wouldn't have to go to my lengths to maintain order. ”

At this time, he seems to regard Garian as an important minister who can be entrusted with everything, if it were not for the intricate interests involved in the court, he really wanted to put Garian in the position of cabinet minister, but for now, at least Garian does not have to accept red tape, but serves the empire in another way.

"Also, who kidnapped you?"

Napoleon III immediately recalled the most important thing, and was outraged at the sight of the hateful face of the English and the sinister intentions of the revolutionaries, and Napoleon III said in a categorical tone, "Once I find the culprit, I will let him live rather than die!" Let them know clearly what will happen to going against the royal family of Bonaparte! ”

“…… Well...... His Majesty Napoleon. ”

Garion hooked his nose with his index finger, thinking about how to explain everything to him, and finally turned his heart on the sidelines, telling the truth, "The person who assassinated me at that time was the remnant of Proudhon, but the person who kidnapped me ...... It was planned by the German royal family, and the masterminds behind it were King Wilhelm and Chancellor Bismarck...... They secretly kidnapped me and put me under house arrest for two weeks..."

???

Napoleon III looked confused, he could not believe that the Prussians would make such an arrogant and absurd choice, and that they had kidnapped Napoleon's important ministers under the delicate situation in Europe.

After thinking about it, Napoleon III's heart suddenly became clear, the two thought-provoking articles written by Gallian before must have directly exposed the conspiracy and sinister intentions of the other party, if I guessed correctly, the content of the article exposed Bismarck's political strategy, which made Berlin angry and took the risky way to kidnap and try to kill Galian.

"The ......"

Garian omitted the details of William I as his faithful scholar, and said cautiously, "Does His Majesty Napoleon want to make the Hohenzollerns worse than dead?" ”

"This ......"

The emperor hesitated for a moment, not expecting that Garion had been involved in the center of the international political struggle, and what made him feel even more ridiculous was why Bismarck did not directly resort to murder, but let Garion return to his side. He can't just declare war on the North German Confederation for the sake of Calian, right? What's more, now that Garian has fled back to Paris, he has no evidence in his hand, as long as he bites to death and refuses to admit it, Paris's verbal condemnation and diplomatic protests have fallen behind.

Napoleon III was in a dilemma, and he felt that he had not given an account to Galian and the people of Paris.

Garion also saw through his thoughts, and said calmly, "It was Crown Prince Frederick who secretly let me go, Bismarck thought that my return to Paris was a major threat to Prussia, and the Crown Prince, who had always had a bad relationship with Bismarck, thought that it was not a gentleman's act to imprison ministers from other countries. So I don't think it's the right thing to do to confront them directly. ”

"Yes, that's exactly what Garion said."

Napoleon III nodded, and when he looked at Garion, he had other thoughts in his mind. At first, he saw Garion as a supernumerary minister, using his position as a French writer and revolutionary sympathizer to gather information for himself on the enemies of the Empire. Unexpectedly, his excellence attracted the covetousness of others - this time Bismarck just wanted to put him under house arrest, and the next time maybe Joseph I or Alexander II would directly assassinate him.

Napoleon III's heart suddenly became nervous, and Gallian was like a piece of jade, attracting the coveted by all forces. Although he is under the protection of Paris, who knows if another group of people will quietly kidnap him, and then his luck will not be as lucky as Bismarck's this time.

"Your Excellency Garion, recently I will tell some of the police in Paris to secretly protect you near your house."

Considering the current situation, Napoleon III said seriously, "There will be no more opportunities for anyone else to do it." ”

"Huh?"

Garion was stunned for a moment, he didn't expect Napoleon III to take such an upright approach, which was equivalent to putting his every move under the surveillance of the Empire.

How is this different from being under house arrest?

"Your Majesty......"

Garion was about to explain that Napoleon III did not need to be overprotective of him, but with a wave of his hand, he directly decided on Garion's arrangement.

"It was my negligence that caused Lord Garion to almost fall into danger, but from now on, I will not allow the enemies of the Empire to take advantage of it. Lord Garion, don't worry. ”

Garion froze in place, Napoleon III's protection was tantamount to house arrest in disguise!

"If this is the case, then I refuse the protection of His Majesty the Emperor."

Garion said bluntly, "And I don't need His Majesty's protection. ”

"What?"

Napoleon III thought he had misheard, but looking at the determined look in the eyes of the man in front of him, he hesitated for a moment and asked, "Give me a reason." ”

"The more protective Your Majesty is, the more likely it is to arouse Bismarck's jealousy, and it is better to... Your Majesty, in front of the people of Paris, has put me idle in the form of an official message..."

"No, how can I treat heroes like this! What are you going to make other people think of me! ”

Napoleon III rejected this at first, but Garion waved his hand and motioned to hear him.

"Your Majesty, don't worry, you are just the first step of revenge, and then..."

Garion paused for a moment, and the other party asked anxiously, "What's next?" ”
