Chapter Ninety-One: The Short-sighted

In order to make up for the reader's grievances and avoid being sent bullets, Garion's "The Sixth Prison" directly released a large chapter of more than 10,000 words, directly pushing the plot to the climax of everyone's cheers. Everyone's curiosity was drawn up, and they all wondered whether Dr. Churchill would end up undergoing a frontal lobotomy or would he fight the brutal system to the end.

Garion left a blank space before the finale, and just like in "1984" before it, many readers want to know how to decide what the final ending will be. There are also loyal fans who try to fill in the previous ending themselves, but it is not accepted, and most people think that the ending that is not filled in by the author himself is a dog-tailed mink.

However, to the shock of most people, Garion's other report, "The Rise of the German Nation", which many considered to be a return work, immediately caused a sensation in Paris.

If the author were not Galion, the first impression of others when they saw the title would have been that it was deliberately alarmist by someone who wanted to make a noise—or even a despicable ploy by the French War Office to bully military spending.

Ordinary people laughed at these reports, after all, Paris was the political and cultural center of Europe at this time, and their infinitely inflated self-confidence convinced them that France was far more powerful than the First Empire!

However, some far-sighted politicians and military men have seen some clues in Garion's analysis, and some of them are even consistent with the court's diplomatic reports. Some even believe that Garion had close ties with the court, as much of the data cited in the report was kept secret and not made public.

This report caused an even stronger sensation than Garion's "1984". He even became the center of public opinion, and some people thought that this was an exaggerated work, and the so-called German threat theory was nothing more than exalting him personally. Other elites took a different look at the article and cast a little more eye on Garion as a person.

On the other hand, Goncourt's other report on The Internationale did not attract much attention, after all, a month has passed and public attention has already shifted to other events.

Thiers, the leader of Orleans, the former prime minister of the July Dynasty who wrote a biography at home, was also surprised. However, he was more concerned with the article itself, because he would never believe that a peasant from another province who had not received formal education could write such a shocking article, and perhaps from the beginning to the present, the so-called literary chapters were ghostwritten by someone else.

To expose a scam, one only needs to challenge the scammers. Mérimée and Sainte-Beuve both rolled back in dismay, indicating that the man behind it did have some means.

"It seems that to lure him out, you still need to start from Garion's background."

Thiers looked at the newspaper in hand, a smile on his lips. Sainte-Beuve did not grasp the point before, and it will be counter-generalized. As for Mérimée's use of government connections to try to suppress Garián, it was originally untenable, and Thiers wanted to suppress Garian from the moral high ground.

He wanted to know very much who was hiding behind the scenes, pointing out the peasant's son and setting off a wave of public opinion in Paris.

Unaware that his continuous headlines in Paris had attracted the attention of others, Garion rode in a carriage to the mansion on rue de Cussell to attend her salon circle party.

For the literati of Paris, it was a great honor to be accepted by Princess Mathilde. The newcomers all walked into the mansion with awe, with the exception of the young man in front of him.

After reporting his identity to the attendants, he led him into the mansion and towards Princess Mathilde's parlor. Passing through the frescoed corridors on both sides, at the end is Princess Mathilde's drawing-room, and from the half-hidden door, you can hear the unbridled laughter of the guests inside.

Garion didn't rush inside, pausing for a moment at the door.

The joke made him frown.

"Have you heard about it lately? Gallian, who wrote "1984", returned to Paris, and I heard that he had also written a report on Germany. ”

Another voice echoed, and through the hidden door, Garion could hear the other's harsh taunts.

"Oh my God, that's the most pompous article I've ever seen. I think the revolutionary poet is just a means for him to make a noise. Will that Germanic hillbilly rise to prominence in the last decade? I just laughed at it. ”

"In the past, the Holy Roman Empire was rubbed on the marble floor like a rag by our great Emperor Na, and now the Confederacy still wants to rise? It's a dream. By the way, I really don't understand why Her Royal Highness the princess would let such a person join the salon, I heard that he is still a peasant from another province and has no formal education? ”

"Shhh

"Hahahaha!"

Garion put his hand on the metal doorknob and slammed it open the door as they were at their most talkative, and walked in.

The laughter in the living room came to an abrupt end. Sainte-Beuve, who was sitting in the corner, did not join in the conversation, but he was still shocked when he saw Garion suddenly entering.

Several other people also looked at the young man in front of them.

The atmosphere in the mansion became delicate.

Garion bowed slightly, and introduced in a pure Parisian accent, "I took the liberty of interrupting and forgot to introduce myself to you, I am the hillbilly Garion you call it." ”

"It's said that without investigation, there is no right to speak, and your opinions are really as short as the hairline above your heads. I wanted to write about the saddest tragedy, filled with shameless laughter. I'm very grateful to all of you for making me understand how shameless laughter is. ”

Listening to the ridicule of the others, Garion snarky shot back, he took a step forward and walked into the living room of the mansion, looking at the gazes gathered around him, conveying unfriendly signals. Faced with this "revolutionary poet" who suddenly broke into the mansion, the Conservatives and Bonapartists looked at him with the eyes of Catholics looking at heretics.

But Garion did not have the slightest fear, but stood confidently on the wall and filled with paintings and art sculptures, and in front of a group of literati who laughed at him, he argued with reason, "I said before that literati have no vision, but I don't believe it. But now it seems that the gaze of the royal literati is not much different from that of a rat in the sewer. Oh, sorry, it feels like humiliating the rats in the sewers. ”

"What did you say?"

Hearing Garion's taunt, the faces of the others instantly turned gloomy, although they were all guests of the princess, they really couldn't forgive Garion for the humiliation.

"I'm sorry, I'm not targeting you."

"I mean, all of you are ......."

After a pause, Garion added unceremoniously.

"Short-sighted!"
