The cold square in front of the Tuileries was already filled with anxious crowds. Historically, it was probably these people who revolted at the time of the defeat of Napoleon III and established the Paris Commune, the first proletarian regime in human history. On this occasion, however, the citizens of Paris gathered in front of Napoleon III's palace to pray for him and wait for a miracle. Some of the people who were at a loss to live in a world without Napoleon III even burst into tears - as if it were their own father who was going to die. But to be fair, Napoleon III did a good job on this plane. completed the unfinished business of his second grandfather, Napoleon I, and also fulfilled the French people's dream of world domination. And in terms of domestic affairs, Napoleon III also made greater achievements than in history.

Not only has French and Italian industry benefited from the rapid growth of demand and markets in the Americas and Africa, but even French and Italian agriculture has made great progress in the past decade. Engels' agricultural cooperation in Poland became a model for the agricultural cooperation of France and the Roman Empire, and the policy of encouraging French and Roman citizens to immigrate to the New World objectively gave the peasants more outlets, and after some peasants left their hometowns to settle down in the New World, the land tension in the French and Italian countryside was also eased. In short, the vast majority of French and Roman citizens benefited from the rule of Napoleon III. Now I naturally don't want this big man to leave so early - at least he has to arrange the aftermath before dying, right? At this time, Paris had become a city of six gods and no masters.

A gilded carriage, escorted by a group of cuirassiers, stopped in front of the Tuileries Palace, and as soon as the carriage came to a standstill. There was a waiting attendant at the Tuileries Palace who went up and pulled the car door. A woman with a somewhat bloated figure and a man in a crisp military uniform. Young men of medium height, with many Oriental characteristics on their faces, walked out one after the other.

A crowd waiting in the square recognized the Empress of Mexico from the coat of arms on the carriage door, and enthusiastically shouted: "Long live Mathilde!" Long live Mathilde! ”

Empress Mathilde is known to be the second man in the Bonaparte dynasty and the hero of France's pioneering of America, and if there is anyone who is qualified to control the entire empire after Napoleon III is gone, before Napoleon IV really matures, it is Her Majesty the Empress - as for Empress Eugénie. It's not that the French hate her, but they think that she really can't afford to maintain such a large family business.

The woman who arrived, who was the elderly Empress of Mexico, turned back and waved at the cheering crowd, and then walked briskly towards the Tuileries Palace, supported by the young officer. A middle-aged man in a tuxedo with a very ugly face greeted him, bowed to the empress, and then bowed to the young man beside the empress. Because the young man was also a monarch, he was the king of the Donghua Kingdom, Jujuan.

"Her Majesty, Your Majesty, please come with me." The middle-aged man turned around and made a gesture of surprise.

"Alexander. What happened to the Emperor? Isn't it better? Mathilde asked the middle-aged man in a low voice. This man was Alexander, chief of the guard of Napoleon III. Duke Valewski was the eldest son of Napoleon I's illegitimate son, Valewski. His father had already died of a stroke 6 years ago.

Alexander. Valevsky lowered his head, and his voice was a little dull: "It's almost over, I can't last this month...... Now I just can't rest assured about the country and the people. ”

Mathilde and Jujuan glanced at each other and shook their heads at the same time. Napoleon III did not die at the right time. Napoleon IV was too young to be in power. Empress Eugenie, on the other hand, had little political experience, and the worst thing was that she had a bad relationship with Mathilde...... I think that at the beginning, Mathilde wanted to be the queen of France, but she was forced to squeeze out (in fact, because Mathilde's father died asking for money and married his daughter to a Russian biggle).

"The Emperor means that Her Majesty the Empress and Her Majesty the Empress will be the regent together until the Crown Prince reaches the age of 25." Alexander. Valewski's tone was somewhat flattering, apparently trying to slap in touch with the future regent.

Mathilde looked at his son, and Jujuan shook his head slightly. The regents of France and the Roman Empire were a hot potato, and Mathilde was already the empress, and there was an entire Mexican empire waiting for her to rule. Why go to Paris to shelter Eugénie's mother and son? And this errand is mostly thankless in the end.

Mathilde also shook his head, sighed, and followed Alexander. Valevsky continued inside. Jujuan understood what his mother meant, and she wanted to do her best to maintain the empire.

Jujuan stood there with a wry smile and was in a daze for a long time before he followed again.

According to Jujuan's wishes, if his mother has the energy to take care of European affairs, it is better to put the Mexican Empire in order...... It would be better to put Henry. Bonaparte drove him away and made him the successor of the Mexican Empire. Nor did it expect to take the entire empire, as long as there was the population and resources of Mexico proper. Jujuan was sure to defeat the Confederate States and the American Empire in the future. At that time, he will be able to establish a Great Donghua Empire in North America, and presumably the situation will not be under Daddy's Great China Empire!

However, such ambitions have not been supported by Mathilde. In the eyes of the Mexican empress, the Mexican throne does not belong to her son. Henry. Bonaparte's inheritance was recognized by the entire Bonaparte family, and if he took it away, it would cause the family to be torn apart, and even the Mexican Empire would collapse. Although the country looks like it will be divided sooner or later, it will not go wrong in its lifetime!

The road to Napoleon III's hospital room was not long, but Mathilde's mind seemed to have been stirred upside down. She didn't know when she got to the door of the ward, or Alexander. Walewski reminded her.

"Your Majesty, it's already here."

The door opened, in the dim light. Napoleon III's sick body was not lying down, but sitting in a circle chair, still looking like a great emperor of his generation. Empress Eugénie and Dauphin Eugène sat on either side of him, their faces full of melancholy. Seeing Mathilde, Empress Eugène and Dauphin Eugène stood up, Eugénieti curtsy of her skirt, and Dauphin Eugène bowed to Mathilde.

Mathilde, as Empress, was another major leader of the dualist empire established by Napoleon III, above Eugenie and Eugène. Speaking of which, the organizational model of this empire is really similar to the Roman Empire, which often had more than one emperor in history. If Napoleon III had survived, he could have put it in order and eventually turn it into a unitary empire. But now he is not long dead, and the heir is so small......

Mathilde nodded, returned the salute to Eugenie and Eugène, and then curtsy to Napoleon III. The latter was the patriarch of the Bonaparte family. The status is slightly higher than that of Mathilde.

Napoleon III raised his hand, pointed to an empty chair in front of him, and asked Mathilde to sit down.

"Thank you for coming all the way to see me, Marty...... The future of France is up to you. ”

"Louie, I don't have that ability, you know. Although there are some people in the Americas who call me the Emperor, I am only in name only, and I have not done anything. ”

A cordial conversation ensued between the two, and by this time Jujuan had reached the door, but was met by Alexander. Wallewski blocked. He was only the king of a vassal state under Napoleon III's empire and was not qualified to participate in the conversation between the two emperors.

Napoleon III forced a smile: "I know that your abilities are limited, but the members of our generation of Bonaparte have worked so hard to revive the empire, and many of them have died young, so that there is no one more suitable to help Eugène than you." ”

"Let Joseph come." Mathilde recommended his younger brother Joseph. Bonaparte.

Napoleon III smiled wryly and asked, "Do you really think he can do it?" ”

Mathilde smiled bitterly, remained silent and did not speak, until a long time later, her voice sounded faintly: "I have no way to maintain the hegemony of the Empire. ”

"Then don't be hegemonic, just keep the empire."

"Well, I'll stay in Paris for five years until Eugène turns 24." (To be continued.) )
