After receiving the Marquis of Treville's eyes, Charles understood, and after hastily eating dinner, he followed his grandfather directly to his bedroom.

"What the hell is going on? What is written on the note? Who sent it? As soon as he came in, he asked a few questions.

"Charles, don't be in a hurry, be calm, nothing serious." The Marquis of Treville made a gesture to signal him not to get excited, and then he handed the note to Charles.

Charles took it lightly, then took it to the candlelight and looked at it carefully.

There were only two lines of scribbling on it, but when he saw it clearly, his hands trembled a little.

"Monsieur de Lamartine is ready to initiate a decree in order to prohibit all former members of the royal family from returning to France."

That's the first line.

[Monsieur de Lamartine refers to Alphonse de Lamartine (1790-1869), a French writer and statesman who, after the establishment of the July Dynasty, opposed the dynastic government and eventually became a republican figure. At that time, he served as Minister of Foreign Affairs of the Provisional Government and was one of the actual figures in power in the Provisional Government. 】

It seems that the Monsieur de la Martin was prepared to find a way for the Provisional Government to pass a decree prohibiting any member of the former royal family, namely the Bourbon, Orleans, and Bonaparte families, from returning to France, in order to prevent them from disturbing the country.

If the first line had shocked Charles, the next line shook his mind even more.

"He has now learned of Monsieur Bonaparte's imminent return and is ready to send someone to stop it. Expelled Monsieur Bonaparte directly and again from the borders of France. ”

How did he know about the Dao? What are they going to do? Charles smelled the pre-storm breath in these two lines.

After reading the second line, all kinds of thoughts came to Charles's mind, and he almost couldn't keep his composure.

OK. He managed to keep his composure, gently placing the note next to the candle and lighting it, then watching the flames flicker in the ashtray.

"This was sent by the Duke of Treville?" He had already roughly guessed the general outline of the matter—it must have been the Duke of Tréville who had discovered something and secretly informed him.

The old marquis nodded slightly, confirming his opinion.

"It's not where it comes from, it's what we do if it happens." He replied leisurely. "If it's true, then it's a big hassle."

"It's a headache indeed." Charles agreed.

"Hmph, these are just little people who have been pushed onto the stage by accident. But he delusionally thinks that he can be a famous actor! The Marquis of Tréville sneered mockingly, as if he were angry.

He was also disdainful of De Leer and De Lamartine.

It's no wonder that he reacted this way, these two people were able to ascend to high positions. One became the head of the Provisional Government. A foreign minister does not become a foreign minister because of his own ability and prestige, but because of the struggle and compromise between various political factions, and their ability is also destined to be short.

However, everyone knows how great the temptation of power is. Will a politician who is occasionally promoted to a high position willingly accept the result of his disgrace when the time comes?

There is only one answer for anyone – definitely not.

So, Lamartine wants to "ban any former royals from returning to France". The motivation is very understandable.

If he had been allowed to issue such a decree through the Provisional Government, they would have been able to temporarily frustrate the various political factions. Then take the opportunity to expand your influence.

Moreover, judging from the message conveyed by this note, it is clear that both grandparents and grandchildren can see the dangerous political intentions involved.

According to the new republican constitution, national elections will be held in April this year; At the beginning of May, the new Constituent Assembly of France will be elected, and around May 10, the new elected members will reorganize the new government. In other words, in a little more than a month, a new round of political momentum in French politics will begin.

Under such circumstances, the Bonapartist party was naturally planning to let the leader Louis Bonaparte return to China as soon as possible and come to take charge of the operation himself as soon as possible, and Louis Bonaparte himself would certainly not waste such a good opportunity. So, he has decided to return to France as soon as possible.

Theoretically, there was no obstacle to this, and after the February Revolution overthrew the dynastic government, the expulsion of the Bonaparte family by the July Dynasty had now been revoked, and the Bonaparte family could return to China.

And the wishful thinking of the foreign minister of the provisional government, de Lamartine, and others is also very obvious - they must want to prevent Louis Bonaparte and others from returning to France for at least this time, and cannot bring any obstacles to their electoral layout and other political schemes, and then seek to become the new long-term ruler of France by various other means.

Just two lines of words contain such a large amount of information, politics is really a mysterious art!

As soon as he thought of this, Charles suddenly realized. Then the grandfather and grandson looked at each other again and reached a unified consensus.

"Looks like we're going to have to find a way to deal with it." The Marquis of Tréville said calmly.

Then, both of them began to use their brains to think of countermeasures.

For now, at least, the political interests of the Bonaparte family and those of the Tréville family are closely intertwined, and Charles wants him to usurp power directly and without any other thing, and certainly cannot sit idly by and watch him be put together in this way, affecting the interests of his own political party.

So, can these measures of the Provisional Government be stopped?

Charles was constantly pushing his brain to find as much information as possible about the obscure history of France in his past life.

His efforts were not in vain.

Suddenly, as if a flash of inspiration flashed through his head, Charles remembered a passage from the original history:

In March 1848, Louis Bonaparte returned to Paris, France, but the Provisional Government forcibly expelled him from the country, and he was caught off guard and had to return to England.

However, under the vigorous operation of the Bonapartist party, in April 1848, he returned to France, and together with other members of the Bonaparte family, he was elected to the Constituent Assembly in time for the elections that began at the end of April, and then officially entered the French political arena in his personal capacity, and thus began his journey from careerist to emperor.

In other words, even if they were expelled again by Lamartine and others, Louis Bonaparte and his comrades would still have the means to forcibly return to France and appear in public in a grand manner to seek public office.

That is, judging by the "old" history, the present Bonapartist has a way of solving this problem.

As soon as he thought of this, Charles's spirits were lifted again, and he didn't want to go through the original history again, because ...... If Charles and the others had resolved the matter directly at the beginning of the crisis and allowed their boss to return to France safe and sound, then in the eyes of Louis Bonaparte, Charles must have done another great job, didn't he?

- because he didn't know that he would be able to come back safe and sound in the "future" to coincide with this looming election!

That is to say, it was a political opportunity that seemed troublesome, but in fact certainly had great hope of success, and he had to take little risk (history had already proved that the Bonapartists had the political energy to overcome this crisis, and there was no reason why they could not do it again in the present situation), but he could make another great contribution to Louis Bonaparte.

Why not?

As soon as he thought of this, the excitement in Charles's heart was replaced by excitement again.

Knowing some historical details of the future of the Dao was indeed a great help to him, and he felt this once again.

"What's wrong, Charles?" The old marquis felt the change in his grandson's mood, and hurriedly asked, "Have you thought of any ideas?" ”

"You're right, grandpa, we don't need to be scared of a bunch of poor worms who only have a month and a half left." Charles replied softly, "I don't think exactly what to do right now, but I think we can definitely thwart their plot." ”

"It's good that you have that confidence, of course, but sometimes we need something more than faith." The Marquis of Tréville was somewhat unimpressed by his words.

"Trust me, I'll be able to defeat them!" Charles's voice was full of certainty, "Monsieur Bonaparte will surely return to France safe and sound, and take power." Nothing can stop the seizure of the country now, grandpa. ”

The old marquis looked at his grandson and was slowly infected by his excitement.

"Very good, well said! My grandson is going to have this kind of pride! Then do it. ”

…………

"First of all, let's write a letter to inform Monsieur Bonaparte of the latest crisis." After pondering for a moment, Charles said some of the countermeasures he had just come up with, "At the same time, we have to tell him that although the situation is a little critical, we can hold out until the last moment, solve these problems, and never let them hinder our plans." You're going to write this letter, grandpa? The more serious you play up, the better, the more you can make him feel the crisis, and the more grateful we will be if we succeed, even if we fail...... He doesn't blame us too much. ”

"Very good, I'll write it later, and I'll follow your guidelines." The Marquis nodded and agreed with Charles, "And then?" ”

"I've been building up with the others for a while, and if necessary, I can spend a lot of money to buy off the current members of the Provisional Government to oppose Mr. Lamartine's opinion, and we are not short of money anyway."

Charles looked at the flickering candles and groaned slowly.

"Also, tomorrow I'm going to visit the Duke's palace in Treville...... They must be in a hurry, and Mr. Lamartine's idea is not just for us. ”

"Good." (To be continued......)
