Under the light of the crystal lamp, Napoleon and Eugenie looked at each other without saying a word.

One is the scourge of the Empire, the other is the rising sun of France.

In the end, he broke the awkward silence first and continued with a calm expression, "The biggest mistake made by the Second French Empire was to let a woman interfere in the politics of Paris. Especially a guy who only has a pretty face but doesn't have any brains. You may be able to make Louis Vuitton a luxury item that is loved by French noblemen, but you can never make Bismarck's Prussian army drop their bullets with a noble suitcase. ”

Eugenie was dumbfounded by Napoleon's humiliation, and in fact she knew from the moment she opened her mouth that she was just bored. The man in front of him is always able to get to the darkest secrets of people's hearts.

Political conflicts of interest are not a problem that women can solve by luxury, and Napoleon taught her a vivid lesson.

Just when Eugénie was on the verge of giving up and despairing, Napoleon threw an olive branch.

"I have another piece of good news here, I spoke to Blanqui before you met with me."

Eugenie raised her head, her eyes wide, and she looked at the short man in front of her in surprise.

"He said that the relationship between the Bonaparte family and the Blanqué Workers' Party was not to the point of life and death. As long as you support the republic and recognize the legitimate rights of the French republic, they will not be guilty of the past. Oh yes, and the Bonaparte family members who have been held accountable for their crimes but have escaped justice, you need to hand them over. Accept the sanctions of the republican form of government. ”

"You're saying you've won the support of the middle and lower classes?"

For the time being, they embraced a republican form of government, and there were people who were willing to stand up against the Prussian invasion. At least what I can do for now is to get you immunity. ”

Met with Eugénie's astonished gaze, Napoleon sarcastically said, "Now it seems that you will not be recorded in Rousseau's Confessions like the stupid image of Queen Mary." ”

In 1868, a member of the Bonaparte family, a distant relative of Napoleon III, killed a young journalist, Victor Noy. On the day of the funeral of the journalists, the Blanquists also tried to incite the population, to hold an uprising. But the attempt was unsuccessful; Despite the impassioned mood in the House and among the people, there were no clashes between the broad masses and the army.

However, this incident has always made Blanqui hold a grudge.

He believed that the sinners of the Bonaparte family deserved to be punished as they deserved, and not to escape justice.

Two years later, Blanqui offered Empress Eugenie the surrender of the Bonaparte family member who had escaped the gallows.

Napoleon had no interest in his unrelated relatives, who professed to be of Bonaparte descent but a bunch of greedy, ignorant, short-sighted fools, and even if a pig was put in their place, there would be no worse situation than now.

"You should know how to choose between the fate of the Bonaparte family with a distant relative who has nothing to do with it. You can choose to refuse, but I can't guarantee how many heads of the Bonaparte family will be hung from the columns of the Palais Bourbon by angry Parisians. ”

Thinking of the scene of the head hanging on the porch pillars of the Bourbon Palace like a balloon, Empress Eugenie subconsciously took a deep breath of cold air, and after thinking for a moment, she finally nodded and said, "I promise you to hand over the members of the Bonaparte family, as long as you can save my life and my son's life." ”

"I can assure you with my honor."

Napoleon was generally pleased with Eugenie's knowledge, and although she did not see the big picture, she could see the situation clearly. The deal between him and Eugenie was done, and the other party realized that there was no reason for him to stay any longer, so he got up and put on his headscarf again, and prepared to go out.

She said goodbye to Napoleon and planned to leave the Hotel Veli.

Eugenie felt that her back was soaked with cold sweat, and the room was filled with an unbearable sense of oppression, and she felt that she was not talking to a person, but a terrible monster.

"I wonder what the hell you're planning? Take control of the political situation in Paris and then become president of the French Republic? Or is it ready to be restored as the new emperor? ”

Eugénie paused and turned back to ask softly, puzzled by Napoleon's efforts to rein in all his powers. If it was the former, she would have completely cut off the idea of Bonaparte, and if it was the latter, she would have a chance to regain control of France.

Eugénie's problems were met with Napoleon's contempt, and the delicate flowers that grew up in greenhouses never saw the bigger picture. Just as the royalists believed that France could be restored, an orthodox Bourbon heir could come to the stage of history.

"If one Paris can satisfy one man's ambitions, why should I gather all the forces of Paris? Simply join the republicans and wave the white flag directly to Prussia, anyway, the idiots of Thiers and Gambita have no other ability than to think about negotiating peace with Bismarck in an honorable way, and then ceding land for compensation. Looking at the entire high-level of France, even a general with a little military talent can't take it, otherwise where would it be the turn to get a high-level general like Cuzin to serve as a high-level general in France, such a France. ”

The queen smiled bitterly and said, "Do you really want to save France?" It's just an unrealistic fantasy, Paris is already decaying, no one can save him from the abyss, and you are no exception. Even if you are dressed as an emperor, you are still just a fake liar in your bones. ”

Ignoring the offense, he asked rhetorically, "Empress Eugenie, do you remember what Julius Caesar said when he defeated Farnac II?" ”

The beautiful and dignified queen paused, retracted her hand to open the door, and turned her head to look at the calmly smiling man in front of her.

I had never seen a trace of panic on his face, as if any situation was in his hands.

strategizing, always only with a flat and unwavering expression.

The clever Eugenie quickly understood his intentions, and before she could remember the words, fear was surging from all directions, like a tidal wave, suffocating. Even the soft light of the crystal lamps could not relieve the pressure that Napoleon brought to him.

Years later, she still can't forget the unforgettable shock of this moment.

"You mean ......"

Eugenie didn't say anything after all.

Paris was only a small wellhead for Napoleon, and the various factions that were still fighting among themselves could not escape the fate of sitting in the well and watching the sky.

Beyond Paris, there is a vast continent.

And he is the Caesar of the Third Reich in France.

Divine Julius.

Napoleon sat on the sofa and stared at the pale queen in front of him, word by word, in a slight voice, but like a hammer falling on the chest.

"I came, I saw, I conquered."
