After a soft drizzle, spring walked into the world with a variety of steps. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 infoShe carries the fragrance mixed with the smell of earth, stepping on countless green grasses, and the place she goes is full of life. The burly plane trees drew their new green swords like rows of soldiers, and the tender grass spat out soft green tongues on the endless land like groups of children.

Stepping on such a green field on a sunny day after the rain makes people feel refreshed, and the heavy greenery brings new air to the lungs that have long been dulled in the city, making people feel refreshed and get the rest that has been lacking.

And between the green mountains and green waters, the palace of Fontainebleau is dotted with many palace rooms, and these rustic artefacts not only do not reduce the brilliance of these plants, but instead merge into one, making people feel that survival is such a wonderful thing.

Under Charles' personal auspices, the Château de Fontainebleau has been renovated and can once again welcome those who visit it in its heyday.

It has been quite lively since the royal move from the capital Paris yesterday, and early this morning, His Majesty the Emperor and the Empress, and countless retinues, escorts, and entourages of state dignitaries and ladies who followed him, filled the fields next to the Château de Fontainebleau, not only to add luster to the royal majesty, but also to take the opportunity to share with the royal family the beauty of the green mountains and waters.

As the Emperor, of course, his schedule was strict and tight, and even if he was on vacation from the palace in Fontainebleau, his schedule had already been properly arranged.

It was arranged that from tomorrow there would be a jockey race to entertain the royal family and ministers, and after many days of preparation, the racecourse in the wilderness was ready, full of road signs, fences, wooden chairs for spectators to enjoy the race and rest, and even a decent podium.

Although these wooden creations are numerous and densely packed between the sites, they are not too much spoiled by the careful planning and arrangement, and they just wait quietly in place, waiting for the coming bustle and hustle and bustle.

In the middle of the gentle spring breeze, a large group of people on horseback galloped across the field, and in the middle was His Majesty the Emperor of the Empire, who wore a special uniform, a boat-shaped double-horned hat on his head, and a medal pinned to his chest.

Surrounded by His Majesty the Emperor in the uniform of the Praetorian Hussars, young attendant officers with fur hats embellished with feathers on their heads, equally brightly colored uniforms, epaulettes and buttons shining in the lazy sun, defended the Emperor and were a symbol of the Empire's proud military might.

And between the attendant officers and His Majesty the Emperor, a group of dignitaries of the empire also rode horses to follow His Majesty, they were old and young, and their clothes were different, some wore the same military uniform as His Majesty, others wore civilian clothes - Charles was one of them, and their expressions were different, some accompanied His Majesty solemnly, others gathered together to talk and laugh.

Under the rare clear sky in early spring, this group of people galloping around on horseback also looked a little heroic.

Whatever their demeanor, these people are the whole nation at this time, and they control and maintain the power of one of the most powerful nations in the world today, and use it handily to serve their own desires and goals.

His Majesty the Emperor had been riding around here all morning, and he looked around, and he could see that he was very impressed by this place, and he looked around blankly, obviously with great emotion.

When he came to the Seine River next to the gardens of Fontainebleau, his majesty the Emperor could not help but restrain his horse's head when he looked at the trickling water flowing quietly in front of him, and then sighed in embarrassment as he looked at the mesmerizing reflection of the palace and the green trees and blue sky in the middle of the river.

"I didn't expect to be able to see it all again! Thank God! As if he had opened his heart by chance, he lamented his luck in the beauty of the lake and mountains of Fontainebleau.

Yes, when he had to be exiled to Italy, when he was thrown into prison for attempting and failing to mutiny, how could this man have predicted that he would be able to seize the chance fortune of the past when he was in his forties, and finally rebuild the empire and make himself the supreme of a nation?

How many people whose intelligence and ambition are not inferior to him, but they are trapped in the current situation, and can only disappear in obscurity with light and dust in the pain of being buried, but he has become the emperor of this country and the master of this beautiful palace by chance, and if you think about it, only "God's favor" is the most convincing explanation, right?

At least His Majesty the Emperor is now convinced.

However, at this high-spirited time, His Majesty the Emperor did not think that since fate can favor a person so much and push a person to the pinnacle of glory, then one day it will also spit on a person, trample him into the dust, and let everything he has spent all his efforts and carefully manage become a sand tower that collapses with a bang.

At this time, he was convinced that he was the master of his destiny, and that he would be able to follow the path that God had laid for him, as he had done in the past, and that the others would either be his servants or he would have to push them aside.

In a leisurely and relaxed mood, he took a deep breath, then looked up and looked around.

"Charles, you're doing a great job, and I'm happy with everything here."

"Thank you very much for making such an assessment, Your Majesty." The Charles, who was following His Majesty the Emperor, bowed slightly, "However, I am only supervising the work here, and I have not contributed much, and I think those engineers and workers are more worthy of your praise." ”

"You have spent so much money, of course, it is the greatest credit, the engineer will always find it, but the owner may not." As if joking, His Majesty the Emperor smiled slightly, clearly in a good mood, "However, thank you for the reminder, I will give Mr. Osman a commendation for proving himself to be a trustworthy and capable man." ”

"Although I have been working with him for a short time, I completely agree with you, this gentleman is calm and professional, and has the communication skills that are rare in ordinary technicians, and he is indeed a rare talent." Seeing that His Majesty the Emperor praised Mr. Osman, of course, Charles immediately agreed.

Judging from His Majesty's attitude of the Emperor, Charles had determined that, as in the original history, Haussmann would be appointed as the chief designer and head of the entire renovation project in Paris, and that he would be knighted to this gentleman, and Charles would be happy to see this, because he had already incorporated the future Baron Haussmann as an ally of his own when he had overseen the reconstruction work here.

"Hey, I can finally come here to rest." His Majesty the Emperor was still smiling, and then looked around at the beautiful scenery again, "You think it's beautiful, don't you?" Yes, it's beautiful, but for me, there's so much more to it than just beauty, so many memories......"

He picked up his horsewhip and pointed to a section of the river bank not far away, "It was there that I used to paddle with my brother, and the emperor was beside him at that time, watching us two children laugh...... Really, I seem to be able to see him laughing there now, and my memory is so deep, because the beauty of my childhood is like a heavenly dream for me who has been wandering away. Forty years later, every plant and tree here is still vivid, as if it has been waiting for me all along...... It's so emotional. ”

Charles hung his head and tried to be more serious, to match His Majesty's feelings, but he could not do so, after all, he had not seen Emperor Napoleon, and he could not experience the phantoms of the most glorious moments of the First Empire.

"Heh, after all, it's a young man......" His Majesty the Emperor shook his head slightly, "You are full of vitality, so you are always facing forward, you don't want to look back, and you don't have anything to understand the past." However, from the experience of the elderly, I think you can sometimes stop and look at some of the beautiful scenery around you, so that you can have more memories when you are old. ”

"You are also young, Your Majesty." Charles replied immediately. "The sun of the empire is still in the sky, shining on the world."

"Okay, I'm all this age, what do you say about being young!" His Majesty the Emperor smiled and waved his hand, stopping Charles from complimenting him, "However, you are also right, I am not old now, and there is still too much to do. ”

Then he pulled the reins again, urging his mount to continue along the river, and the feeling he had just felt was gone, and he had now reverted to the arrogance of the world that he had seen the world before, and used unfathomable reserve as the armor of the emperor, so that no one could guess any of his thoughts.

Now he is the emperor of the empire, and the emperor of the past can only be a phantom that remains in people's memories.

"Has the Russian minister arrived?" After a long while, His Majesty the Emperor looked ahead and asked.

"I'm here, now I'm resting in the hotel next door, Your Majesty." The dense roar of the horses' hooves made it difficult for Charles to make out a little bit before he answered. "If it's convenient for you, you can meet him tomorrow at the Jockey Club, and he must be eager to see you now."

Not long ago, the new Russian ambassador to France, Count Litwinsky, came to visit Charles's house, and praised Charles as a rare French state minister, a pillar of the empire, and then said that he wanted to draw Charles to his side, and at the same time help him to ask for His Majesty the Emperor.

At that time, Charles was not far behind, and with the same sincere hypocrisy, he poured ecstasy soup on the ambassador, claiming to be pro-Russian, and supporting the two countries to ease relations as soon as possible, restore old friendships, and bring peace to Europe. Then, after some reserve, he also agreed to the other party's request.

Although he reluctantly agreed, in fact it was a move by His Majesty the Emperor and him.

For a long time, they felt that they would start a war against Russia as soon as they took power, and then use it to consolidate their power and gain prestige, and after seizing power and rebuilding the empire, the relevant preparations began to be in full swing, and now everything is ready to go, and it can be said that it is only a good opportunity.

But it is for this reason that His Majesty the Emperor and his ministers have lowered the tone of their threats to the Russians, and have instead spoken of friendship and peace - this is certainly not a contradiction, and according to the logic of His Majesty's usual Machiavellianism, since war is imminent, it is natural to lower the enemy's defenses, and to obtain the greatest possible surprise of his actions, for which it is reasonable to do anything, and deception is the virtue of a monarch.

And Charles, of course, completely agreed with His Majesty.

"Okay, good time!" Sure enough, after hearing Charles's answer, His Majesty the Emperor laughed rather cruelly, "These stubborn Russians, let us show the friendship of the Empire in everything." (To be continued.) )
