Chapter 107: Some People

The executioners of the massacre of the Paris Commune, careerists who wanted to become the next Napoleonic emperors, notorious literati and historians, the flies Mirabeau, Thiers can be labelled with all sorts of labels, and the common denominator of these labels is the same: vile and shameless villains.

When he was unsuccessful, he portrayed himself as a sympathetic figure for the revolutionary party, a spokesman for the petty bourgeoisie and the proletariat, and once he turned over and became a state dignitary, he ruthlessly suppressed and betrayed them. Thiers' "glorious deeds" truly validate that sentence.

It is not the loudest shouters of revolutionary slogans that are dear Davarich, and speculators with ulterior motives.

Garion knew what the other party was, so he naturally wouldn't be confused by the so-called wooing conditions of the Count of Paris.

The two people in the study looked at each other with their own hearts, speculating on each other's intentions. The only thing that was silent was the sound of the pendulum turning in the room.

Thiers coughed and said, "Straight down, Lord Garion. I know that you are not a revolutionary, and that you do not want to be associated with the Bonapartists, and that it is a waste of talent to be among such talented people, so join us. If you are willing to join us, we can quickly open up the connections and contacts of the upper class for you. There was also a good relationship between the leaders of the Orleans Party and the Bonapartist faction, and some of them were only ostensibly members of the Bonaparte government. In the future, if the Orleans Party succeeds in seizing power, you will be the political leader of the country! ”

Facing Thiers, who painted himself a flatbread, GariΓ‘n said with a smile, "Like those well-dressed parliamentarians sitting in the Bourbon Palace? Forget it, Your Excellency Thiers, do you really think that I don't know what the Orleans Party is? The authoritarian Orleans faction should have been cold long ago, rather than the undying stench that permeated Paris like the immortal shroud. ”

Thiers frowned dissatisfied, his face became embarrassed, and he said to Garion, "Even if Your Excellency Garion refuses, there is no need to talk about it, right?" ”

"Is it any good for me to get on your thief ship?"

Garion sneered and continued, "The Bonaparte family still managed to unify the royal family of Europe and has a certain prestige among the people. And what about the Orleans Party? What do you have? Overthrow the Bonapartes, put you in the position of ruler of Paris, and then a great revolution that guillotines the counts of Paris? ”

"Shut up!"

In the face of Garion's offense, Thiers finally lost his breath. He stood up suddenly, his cane pounding the ground.

"The Count of Paris is the heir to the orthodox royal family of France, and Bonaparte is nothing but a bunch of hillbillies who steal the country!"

"If you want to talk about French orthodoxy, he is also the Count of Chambord, not the Count of Paris, and he is not a careerist who covets power!"

Garion retorted eloquently, "Your Excellency Thiers, have you forgotten that there is also this legitimate heir to the royal family, as long as he is alive for one day, the Orleans faction will be unjust!" ”

Henri was born on September 29, 1820 at the Palais de la Palais de Tuileries in Paris. However, he was born without the presence of members of the court, and the Orleans sent pretenders to the throne to believe that he was not the grandson of France.

Henri was born Duke of Bordeaux and Count of Chambord. Since his uncle, Dauphin Louis, had no children, he was regarded as a gift from God, and the royalists called him a "miracle child".

On August 2, 1830, his grandfather Charles X and his uncle Louis XIX were forced to abdicate on the same day, and the restoration of the Bourbon dynasty was shattered. Louis XIX had no sons, and he was made king of France and Navarre as the next heir to the throne, but Louis-Philippe, Duke of Orleans, then lieutenant general of the kingdom, deliberately did not make a document to call him king. Seven days later, by order of the National Conference, Henry was forced to abdicate in favor of Louis-Philippe.

On August 16, the year of his abdication, he was forced into exile. Some French monarchists considered him king, and after the deaths of Charles X and Louis XIX, Henry became the object of Orthodoxy.

After the Franco-Prussian War in 1870, the majority of the members of the Provisional Government were in favor of the return of the Comte de Chambord as King of France, but the Comte de Chambord insisted on replacing the tricolor flag with irises.

Thiers was so blocked that the July Dynasty had been incorrectly seated, and as the previous president of the Senate, he was well aware of this, using his Orleans status to maneuver among the dignitaries, and on the other hand falsely revealing to the bourgeoisie his opposition to the autocracy of the crown.

"So are you a revolutionary, or a royalist? You are a strange person who has close ties to the revolutionary party but readily accepts the invitation of the conservative salon, and then writes an article attacking the conservative literati. ”

Thiers thought he had seen through Garion's identity, but when confronted with Lero's temptation, he flatly refused.

"His Excellency Hugo, a staunch republican and revolutionary, also served as a member of parliament for the July Dynasty, but became a staunch opponent of Napoleon III after his ascension to the throne. Sir Thiers, many things are not black and white. Those who shout about revolution are not necessarily progressives who love freedom and republicanism, but may also be careerists. ”

Garion's last sentence directly revealed the filthy secret of Thiers's heart, and he stood there with a pale face, clenched into fists, trying to maintain his previous elegant image.

Thiers squeezed out a forced smile and said, "People who are too smart are not welcome, Lord Garion. Talented and well-educated poets always fall prematurely. People like me who wait for their chance can have the last laugh. ”

"The people cannot accept the truth of the Akaro, but they are willing to believe lies dressed in gorgeous garments."

Ignoring Thiers, Garion turned and walked in the direction of the door of the study, where he stopped and said without looking back, "In that case, I also have a poem for His Excellency Thiers." ”

The atmosphere suddenly became quiet, except for the sound of Garion chanting poetry, and Thiers, who was silent when the conspiracy was revealed.

There is a man who is alive, and he is dead;

Some people are dead, and he is still alive.

There are people

Riding on the heads of the people: "Oh, how great I am! ”

There are people

He bent down and served as cattle and horses for the people.

There are people

carve the name into the stone, want to be "immortal";

There are people

I would like to be weeds, waiting for the fire to burn in the ground.

There are people

If he lives, no one else can live;

There are people

He lives for the better life of the majority.

Whoever rides on the head of the people, the people crush him;

He who was a cow and a horse for the people, the people will always remember him!

He who carves his name into stone rots earlier than the corpse;

As long as the spring breeze blows, there are green weeds everywhere.

If he lives, others can't live, his fate can be seen;

He lived for the better life of the majority, and the masses lifted him very high, very high.

……

The poem hits the nail on the head, exposing Thiers' incorruptibility and shame, and exposing the filthy secrets of his heart.

Thiers' hands were shaking.

After reading the last word, Garion walked out of the study door without looking back. In the quiet air, only his last words echoed in the study.

and Thiers, who was stunned in place, suddenly angrily swept away all the manuscript papers on the table.

Like fluttering goose feathers and heavy snow, they fell to the ground one after another.

"Finally, this song "Some People" is sent to His Excellency Thiers, I hope you can do it yourself."

"Beware of the name before the corpse, the one that rots sooner!"
