Napoleon's hands had already drawn up a cabinet list of governments, including the Jacobins Rochefort, the Workers' Blanqui, the Republicans Gmbetta and the Orleans Thiers. Trochu was governor of Paris and pro tempore president, and Thiers was in charge of the diplomacy of the Third Reich.

When the town hall announced the establishment of a republic, the crowd erupted in cheers to celebrate the birth of a republic.

The appearance of Rochefort and Blanqui's names on the cabinet list meant a victory for the petty bourgeoisie and the Workers' Party, but republicans such as Picard and Krémieux were stunned that their names should have been on the list that had been read.

Historically, it was Léon Gambita who announced the founding of the Third Republic at the town hall, but now it is Napoleon who sent people to announce the birth of the Third Reich at the town hall.

Some people have a lot of criticism about the name of the Third Reich, but since a republican form of government has been established, they have not delved into it. Picard held the list in his hand and wanted to go up and read it again, but his eyes were keenly aware of the French soldiers who were under martial law in the town hall, Napoleon had already calculated the nature of the republicans, so he would not be merciful to reason with the other party, if they did not agree with his list and wanted to change it forcibly, first ask the soldiers if the bullets in their hands would agree.

After thinking about it for a while, Picard gave up on this dangerous idea, if they snatched the manuscript from the other party's hand and read it out to themselves, they feared that they would be suppressed by the combined forces of the other factions.

The republicans withdrew from the town hall in disgrace, and although the republican form of government had been established, there was not the slightest look of excitement on their faces, and they were supposed to be in the driver's seat, but now they were in a miserable mess.

"Both the Workers' Party and the Jacobins have been drawn into the cabinet list, what the hell is General Trochu doing! Isn't he from the Orleans party? Shouldn't it be the royalists who take the lead? If you look at the name he just pronounced, there were republicans, there were Jacobins, and even the rebel Blanqui. What the hell is going on in the head of that traitor of Bonaparte! ”

Picard grumbled, "Also, there have been people in the crowd who are talking about Napoleon's imminent return. Had Napoleon III not been captured? ”

"Napoleon III must have been taken prisoner, there is no doubt about the news. I'm afraid that someone is ready to spread rumors in Paris again. ”

Cremieu shook his head, and with his cane, he walked to the private carriage, turned back to the man behind him, and said, "I will rush to the Palais Bourbon at once and ask what happened to Gambitta and Favre. ”

At this time, the rumors of the resurrection of the emperor had not yet spread, and no one else knew what had happened at the Palace of Bourbon. And Gan Bida did not throw out the list that changed the course of French history under the spotlight as previously agreed.

But Napoleon's list had a special meaning, as it was intended to appease the Blanqui and Jacobins, who, although they entered the cabinet, did not hold any positions and did not play a crucial role. The second is to unite the Orleans faction to suppress the Republicans, so the original historical list had 11 Republicans and one Orleanists, but now the situation has been directly reversed.

All factions in Paris are trying to get their hands on the centralization, but the losers are trying to flee in a panic.

The Tuileries Palace, where Napoleon III lived before him, was already in the air.

Charles Kuzan Montauban, Count of Balibridge, did not flee to Belgium in such a hurry as he did in history, but quickly went to the Tuileries Palace.

Walk through the adjoining garden in the south wing of the palace and walk quickly to Empress Eugenie's reception room.

The Empress's parlor is a modified 18th-century Rococo decoration, with a green parlor for the ladies of the court, a rose-colored parlor painted with a portrait of Eugenie dressed as a goddess of flowers, and a blue parlor with a portrait of a beautieth in the palace, where she presides over the summons.

However, the elegant living room was now in a shadow, and Eugenie, who had lost her former dignity and calm, feared that she would end up with the same fate as Queen Marie—to be guillotined by the angry citizens of Paris.

Trapped in the Tuileries Palace, Eugenie's nerves were extremely tense, and she had been struck down by the news of her husband's surrender; Realize that the time to escape has come. She hurriedly packed up her clothes and accessories with her reader, Madame Lebreton, and the Austrian and Italian ambassadors were already waiting for her in front of the colonnades of the Louvre, and then hurriedly took refuge in a cab, took refuge in her American dentist, Evans, and then managed to escape from Paris.

The Count of Montauban hurriedly walked into Eugénie's conference room, glanced around at the chaos around him, and said to the Empress who had long since lost her former peace, "Dear Empress Eugenie, there is good news now, you don't need to rush out of Paris. ”

"Good news?"

Eugénie stopped what she was doing, and with a look of surprise on her fair face, she raised her head and said to the Count of Montauban, "Could it be that my husband has returned?" ”

"It's not your husband who is back, it's ...... How to say...... His Majesty Napoleon......"

Montauban was somewhat incoherent, and he did not know how to explain the news of Napoleon's rebirth to Empress Eugenie.

"Napoleon?"

Confused, Eugenie quickly understood what the other party was talking about, and asked rhetorically, "You mean Napoleon Bonaparte?" Isn't it decades old? ”

She stopped packing her clothes and asked the other party anxiously, "What the hell is going on?" ”

Montauban stammered like she explained, "Yes...... General Trochu, what to say, he did not know where to find a guy exactly like the Emperor Napoleon, and led his army to storm the Palais Bourbon, forcibly changed the republican form of government promulgated by the Legislative Council according to his will, and invalidated the cabinet list prepared by the republicans, and he put Trochu in the position of provisional president of France in a single coup d'état, and now the republican form of government is dominated not by the mob, but by a Bonapartist. According to the feedback of the Bonaparte deputies present, the Republicans were helpless against this man, and the Orleans party did not dare to do anything with him, because the governor of Paris, who held the military power, completely fell to his side. ”

"Quick!"

Eugenie grabbed Montauban's hand, completely ignoring her demeanor as the empress of the Third Reich, and screamed, "Take me to him quickly, it is up to the Bonapartes to regain control of Paris." ”

Montauban seemed to guess what Empress Eugenie was going to do, he calmed the other party's emotions, and whispered, "The Empress is going to prepare......"

"I'm going to fabricate a copy of my husband's edict."

Empress Eugenie hurriedly interrupted him and said her plan directly. She tried to grasp the last straw, she didn't care about how ridiculous everything she was doing, since there was someone who could save her life, she naturally had to use the last bit of prestige to support him.

Although she had never met the liar.

But acknowledging the identity of the other party as the Bonaparte family will at least not lead to his own head falling to the ground, and may even rise again. Her husband can't come back, but she still has children, who can push him onto the stage of history and become the new emperor of France.

Empress Eugenie thought everything through, but she did not take into account what kind of person the "pretending to be Napoleon" was.

"We are ready to announce to others the edict of Napoleon III, who, in the event of his defeat and arrest or tragic death, will hand over the command of the Second Empire's army to his uncle, temporarily acting as regent."

Count Montauban's eyes narrowed, and he waited silently to receive a definite answer from her.

Eugenie took a deep breath, the corners of her mouth trembling with excitement.

"And the new Napoleon Majesty."
