Chapter 113: The Emperor's Wrath

The second more, ask for recommendation votes!

As soon as the Minister of Finance's words came out, all the guards panicked. They made adequate preparations to ensure the safety of the funeral, but they allowed the revolutionaries to get involved.

He reported the situation to the captain of the guard, who motioned not to startle the snake and slowly concentrated around Garion. When they were close enough, all the attendants raised their spears and, while covering the guests, rushed forward and pointed their guns at the bewildered young man.

Garion looked at the sudden change and slowly raised his hand helplessly. As long as he dares to act rashly, he will be pierced into a sieve by a 17.8mm Mine bullet.

The others quickly dodged, creating a vacuum around Garion, and only a line of soldiers armed with rifles pointed their guns at the unarmed young man in front of them.

Garion held his hand high and smiled, "Don't be nervous, soldiers, if the bullet goes off, you will be responsible." ”

The captain of the guards, holding his revolver, stepped forward quickly, and he glanced at the innocent-looking Garion, and was surprised in his heart. The others were already trembling when they were surrounded, but the people in front of them were not shocked, obviously more like people who had experienced strong winds and waves.

"There are eight or nine revolutionary parties, and they will certainly not be wrong, and they may still be old revolutionaries."

Garion's calm performance confirmed the Captain's thoughts even more, so he waved his hand and said in a firm tone, "Search my body, this revolutionary party must have weapons with him." ”

One of the soldiers stepped forward and reached into Garion's pocket with both hands, fumbling around, but to his disappointment, only a copy of manuscript paper was found inside.

Mérimée hid to the side, looking at the scene in front of him with a look of excitement, he very much wanted to make a noise at the solemn funeral, and when he looked up at the golden glittering Holy Cross, he muttered to himself, "It's a pity that there is no glass, otherwise I would have to raise a glass to the Virgin Mary, and in front of everyone, Galian your reputation in Paris will be stinky." ”

The captain of the guard grabbed the manuscript paper in his hand and asked sharply, "What is this?" ”

"Tap, soldier, it's a eulogy."

Garion's index finger pointed to the manuscript in his hand and explained, "I heard that the guy who wrote the eulogy for Prince Jérôme was not good enough, so I dared to write one. ”

Standing not far away, Merimi seemed to realize something and suddenly stepped forward. His gaze was fixed on Garion, and he deliberately turned his head and winked at himself while the gun was pointed at him.

As if showing off his victory.

Mérimée clenched her fists, feeling a vague uneasiness in her heart.

"Who do you think you are?"

The captain of the guard rebuked angrily, "Dare to question our majesty? ”

There was a burst of laughter from the people around them, as if they were watching a clown burlesque performance, watching Garion's every move, especially when they heard the questioning question, they all thought the other party was crazy.

"Minister Fuld, I think you're overly nervous."

"How can there be an assassination of the Revolutionary Party at a funeral at the Tuileries Palace," said Monier, "I think this man is just a journalist who has come in and joined in the fun." ”

Fuld snorted coldly, disapproving. He stared at Garion in a circle, and said, "Be careful more than anything else, especially since your Majesty seems to be a stranger to the Catholic conservative forces lately, and he is ready to win over the working class." The bill to the Senate for deregulation is only the first step. ”

For this unprecedented news, Monil showed a look of surprise, "Really? ”

Before he could get the next word from the other person, the exchange was interrupted.

"Ahem, what are you doing!"

An angry female voice broke the peace, and everyone looked back to see the princess in a long black dress walking briskly, she tried to push the palace guards away, but was forcefully stopped.

"I'm sorry, Your Highness the Princess, you can't go forward, the revolutionary party is already surrounded by us!"

Schneider, the head of the legislative corps, looked at the play without a look, "Tut-tut, even Princess Mathilde is here, I see a good show." ”

"I am afraid that the revolutionary party that openly mixed in with the banquet will not end well."

However, the plot they expected did not appear, and the next anti-transfer everyone was caught off guard.

"What a revolutionary party!"

Princess Mathilde angrily pointed at the soldier and said, "This is my guest, and you actually regard him as a revolutionary?" Believe it or not, I'll put you in prison as a revolutionary first? ”

The upper-class celebrities around who were still laughing at Garion immediately shut up when they heard this.

Fuld's face changed suddenly.

Schneider pursed his lips and said interestingly, "Could it be that this young man has something to do with Princess Mathilde?" ”

When the soldiers heard this, they hurriedly put down their guns, and Garion saw the horror in their eyes that a catastrophe was coming. Because Princess Mathilde was behind her, followed by His Majesty the Emperor and his wife.

"Forget it, cousin Mathilde, they were also overly nervous for the funeral."

Napoleon III stepped forward slowly, his attitude towards people as mild-mannered as recorded in history, and he was completely unaware of the dictatorship and toughness in his heart.

Napoleon III, in a gesture of friendliness and affinity, said to Garion, "I apologize to you for the overreaction of the guards, this guest, what is your name?" ”

"Garion, Your Majesty."

Galion finally met the legendary Napoleon III, suppressed the tension and excitement in his heart, and replied with a calm face, he did not expect that the meeting with the enemies of the revolution would be in such a dramatic scene.

And when Napoleon looked at Garion, his eyes also became deep, and the young man mentioned yesterday at the mansion on rue Cusel stood in front of him today, and involuntarily looked at Princess Mathilde.

The latter, on the other hand, made a mischievous smile.

Napoleon III smiled bitterly, he didn't expect his cousin to be so interested in a literati, he was indeed a little interested in the previous German report, but not to the point of the importance of face-to-face long talks.

Garion whispered tentatively, "By the way, Your Majesty, can you give me back the manuscript paper that the captain of the guard took away earlier?" ”

"Huh?"

Napoleon III's gaze also followed Garion's finger and focused on the hand of the captain of the guard. Seeing the emperor's gaze, the guards hurriedly handed the manuscript paper to His Majesty the Emperor with both hands.

Napoleon III asked curiously, "What is this?" ”

Garion said earnestly, "A eulogy speech tailored for Your Majesty." ”

"You're confident in your talent?"

"Probably better than the one I prepared earlier."

"Your Majesty, don't listen to this guy's nonsense!"

Sensing that the speech he had written might be replaced, Congressman Mérimée could not hold back any longer, and was ready to preemptively confuse the public, he stepped forward and said anxiously, "This man is inextricably linked to the revolutionary party, and his words cannot be trusted, Your Majesty." ”

"Shut up, Congressman Mérimée."

Napoleon III's amiable and unangry look frightened Mérimée into staying put. Just a few words outline the toughness of a great dictator.

The people around him were so frightened that they didn't even dare to come out.

The audience was silent.

Empress Eugenie stepped forward at the right time, stood beside her husband, and quietly reminded His Majesty that the person in front of him was her uncle, and gave him a step down.

Napoleon III understood, and said coldly, "I don't need you to teach me more, I know for myself!" ”
