"There should be a crow at this time!" Even Han Xing could smell the embarrassment in the air, and the Pope had a confused and confused look on his face, forgetting even the dry cough caused by the dust, and watched Napoleon hold his right hand tightly. The awkward atmosphere seemed to condense the time and air around them, and the two men froze for two seconds.

In the famous painting "The Coronation of Napoleon I", in order to avoid the fact that Napoleon took his crown from the Pope, only the scene of Napoleon's coronation of his wife Josephine is depicted.

However, this scene is also of great historical significance in Han Xing's view, and this scene is fully qualified to be painted as a famous painting for future generations to admire. Napoleon bowed slightly (shēn) and held the right hand with the ruby ring under the papal crown, which countless kings have knelt down on one knee and kissed as a sign of their obedience to the pope.

The Pope was dressed in a bright yellow robe of splendid silk and satin, adorned with jewels and gold, and silk hands (tào) adorned with pearls made him look unspeakably noble. Napoleon, however, wore a plain blue and white military uniform, the only embellishment on which was probably the silver buttons!

The dresses of the two form a strong color conflict and a stark contrast of class, one is simple, one is luxurious, the other is lofty, and the other is neither humble nor arrogant; At this time, although Napoleon was slightly bowed, there was a confident smile (xiōng) on the corner of his mouth. On the contrary, His Majesty the Pope, although his head was held high, his face was full of astonishment and horror, and he felt the horror of this man in front of him.

Isn't this scene a famous painting destined to go down in the ages? Isn't the strong color contrast and vivid figure table (qíng) behind this famous painting symbolizing the fierce collision between the new ideas of freedom and equality after the revolution and the stubborn forces of feudal conservatives? And Napoleon's heroic strategy destined to break the inherent pattern of Europe is also undoubtedly revealed at this moment! He is a man who dares to challenge the authority of the church, what no one has dared to do for hundreds of years (qíng), he dares to do!

"My dear child, Rome is a sacred place, and the Papal States are defenders of peace, my child, why did you come here with a large army for no reason?" His Holiness the Pope was the first to speak to break the deadlock, and the smile on his lips touched the wrinkles on his rosy cheeks, and even revealed two dimples, which made him look amiable and unusually kind!

"For no reason? Forces for peace? A magic stick is a magic stick, it's really deceiving! Who joined the anti-French coalition before? Also a defender of peace? Even if you don't send troops, at least you're waving flags and shouting at them behind your back! Han Xing expressed deep admiration for the sophistry skills of this Pope, but unfortunately only ghosts would believe these nonsense!

"Holy Father, I have always believed that the decision of the Directory to sever diplomatic ties with the Papal States is open to debate! I myself am a devout Catholic, and my uncle was once the vicar of Corsica! As an Italian, I grew up in Catholic culture! Napoleon spoke in fluent Italian, and it was evident that this was called seeing people and talking about people, and talking about ghosts. He identified himself as an Italian (shēn), which was close to the Pope's Majesty (tào).

"Who didn't kneel down when they saw me just now? What kind of Catholic cultural influence can give birth to a monster like you! Han Xing easily read the true thoughts of His Majesty's Crown.

"My child, since you are a sincere Catholic, it must be a misunderstanding that you came outside Rome? Perhaps you have made some serious mistake and need to be forgiven by my Lord? Everyone makes a little mistake, don't worry, my kid! Both I and the Father in heaven will forgive you??????" As he spoke, His Majesty the Pope drew a cross at the mouth of the mouth (xiōng), and then recited it in Latin, which roughly means "In the name of the Holy Father, the Holy Son, and the Holy Spirit, Amen", but Han Xing could only understand one "Amen".

This is a beautiful remark, but in fact, the simple meaning is: "Since you said that you are a friendly Christian, and you are not here to fight Rome, then I will reluctantly give you a free psychological counseling, I think you guys with bloody hands need a little solace in your soul!" When you're done, get out of here! Don't think I'll leave you to eat! "It's exactly like a consumer buying health care products and finding out that he has been deceived by a scammer, so he rushes to the scammer to theorize, but he doesn't want to be fooled by the scammer and buys two more boxes of health care products.

Do you think that's? However, there are people in history who have fallen for this trick! The protagonist of the story is none other than Charles VIII of France, who led an army to Italy to attack Naples, defeated the Sforcha family in Milan, and was defeated by Alexander VI (Rodrigo?) while passing through Rome. Borgia, Caesare's father, one of the most ** and shameless popes) flickered and lame, and finally ran around the city of Rome to Naples, only to encounter the plague, and the logistical supply was cut off, and he tossed his own life!

"Holy Father, although I personally admire you, you are your worthy leader of the Catholic Church! But at this time, I am the emissary of the French Republic, negotiating with you on behalf of the French Republic! This time, Napoleon held his head high, as if he were wearing a heavy, invisible crown on his head. He looked directly into the Pope's eyes, and the cold light in his deep, blue-gray eyes sent chills down the Pope's spine.

"My child, I think you have received the gifts that the bishop has brought you, which I have carefully selected for you, why are you still not satisfied? Do you want to bathe the city of Rome in the flames of war and bring shame on the sacred places? The Pope asked in a heart-wrenching tone with a sincere expression.

"Holy Father, I am not the second Attila and have no intention of being the second Attila! But whether you can become Leo or not depends on the sincerity of your peace talks! Bonaparte was not a man to be bought by gold, silver and jewels, and let me remind you that Austria, Venice, and (rè) Naya have all signed armistice agreements with France, and now that the Papal States are isolated, the situation around them can be seen! Please think again! ”

This is almost already a threat of ** (luǒ), "Your allies have all been played, and now you are left!" You became the last pope and were nailed to the pillar of shame in history; Whether to be the hero who saved Rome and be praised by posterity, it all depends on my heart (qíng), you better put the highlights! Don't try to fool me with those pì stuff again! ”

After frowning and thinking for a moment, the Pope let out a long sigh, lowered his head, and finally smiled reluctantly: "My dear child, what do you want?" As he lowered his head and held his head high, his momentum was like a deflated ball, and he quickly withered, and even his (shēn) form was not as tall as before. When a religious leader loses the mystery of religion, how is he different from ordinary people?

In fact, this is a simple multiple-choice question, and it is also the sadness of the republic and the theocracy, that he is only an elected leader (although there are many shady scenes in the election of the pope), which means that it is difficult for him to feel a sense of belonging to his country. Unlike those feudal monarchs, they are the owners of the state, and any loss of land and wealth will make them sad, and they will do everything they can to expand their territory and expand their treasury.

The Papal States can be destroyed, but not during his term of office, so what does it have to do with what follows? No one wants to be the king of the dead country, even if it is to pour out all the wealth of Rome, as long as they can send away Napoleon, the god of pestilence, it is worth it!

In the end, His Majesty accepted all Napoleon's conditions, and for him, the only bottom line was not to lose the city of Rome and make himself the most failed pope of all time, and the rest was negotiable!

With the submission of the Papal States, Napoleon's conquest of Italy came to an end in just nine months. This war has lasted for several years in history, and this time it lasted only half a year!

However, when Napoleon returned to Milan and planned to experience the good life of the "King of Italy", he suddenly heard that there was a rebellion (sāo) in Venice! The angry crowd stormed the French barracks, killing more than a dozen French soldiers.

Napoleon and Han Xing had no choice but to rush to Venice to deal with the accident, and it was the senators of the Venice Senate and the Doge of Venice who were waiting for them.

This noble council hall bears witness not only to the glory and prosperity of the Republic of Venice, but also to its later (rì) boxishan and its splendor absence, where earth-shattering matters were discussed and trivial matters were resolved.

In the middle of the chamber sat the distinguished Venetian senators, most of whom came from the great families of Venice, who shared the weal and woe of the Republic of Venice, whose merchant ships sailed across the Mediterranean and made the Republic of Venice with the wealth accumulated through trade. But now, like this hall, they still look golden, but they smell of decay and decay.

"When I heard the news, I was shocked! Why did the people of Venice be so hostile to the soldiers of France? Is it just because of the language barrier? I don't think so! Don't think I don't know your role in this affair! You are the culprit behind all this, the culprit behind it! It was you veterans who contributed to the flames behind the scenes and single-handedly directed this farce! Napoleon said as he looked around at the senators sitting in the audience.

"I'm tired of playing this stupid political game with you! I declare that against Venice, I will do Attila the second! There will be no more senate, let alone a republic! Venice will become the territory of France! This is not a consultation, but a notice to you! Napoleon's words were loud and resonant.

The senators in Venice heard it like a bolt from the blue, and they chirped in horror, and even stood up and waved their fists in disagreement, "You don't have this right!" This is the interior affair of Venice! You, the Frenchman, have no right to interfere! ”

Suddenly, the sound of falling to the ground sounded in the ears of the senators, and the Governor of Venice, whose beard was completely white, held his heart in his hands, and fell to the ground with a painful and distorted face. He was not as fortunate as the Pope, he became the last governor of Venice, and the once glorious Republic of Venice was wiped out in his hands. This huge blow completely shattered the old man's already weak (shēn) body.

They thought Napoleon would make peace with them? They thought Napoleon would lower his profile? They thought Napoleon would compromise with them? They thought there would be at most one negotiation at the end? Or is it a team of investigators conducting a thorough investigation? They have thousands of means to alter and distort the outcome of the investigation in their favor, and they have already planned for it and anticipated countless outcomes.

They are chaebols, their wealth and power are enough to influence the direction of the entire republic, they are big people who can make the republic tremble by stomping their feet, and their power is like the roots of a tree and penetrates deep into the soil of the republic, just like the South Korean political and business tycoons who forcibly covered up the Zhang Ziyan incident.

But they were wrong, they messed with the wrong people! Standing in front of them was Caesar's Diadochi, the only Napoleon the Great in the history of Europe! A man who wants to put his ideals above the whole world and change the whole world pattern by himself! He may be an iron-fisted dictator, or a cruel tyrant, but his cruelty is only to the enemy, to the maggots of society. What kind of polity doesn't have **? Dictatorship! He will use a strong iron fist to form an efficient government, use decrees to solve existing social contradictions, use absolute strength to enforce the law, use the sword to uphold justice and justice, use his life to illuminate the world, light the flame of freedom, illuminate the entire dark world with democracy and equality, drive away the dark rule that has survived from the Middle Ages, and break the shackles of the enslaved!

His great ideals are not something that those finches can put their beaks on, let alone something that Xiaoxiao can stop! Like Julius Caesar, great men created laws, and they preserved their will in heaven and earth! Maybe in the end he falls, and the brilliance he brought to this world will be extinguished, but the Civil Code will live forever, and the order he brought to this world will never be forgotten! Whether people admit it or not, he was a messenger of freedom and equality, he spread the fruits of the Revolution to all of Europe, he gave people a glimpse of the light in the darkness, and he lit up the whole of Europe with his limited life and vitality.

Isn't the dissolution of the Senate and the abolition of the republic like what Julius Caesar did? Isn't Napoleon's words the same as that of the Roman conqueror? They all came out of Italy, rose to glory with Gaul, and finally returned to Italy again.

No matter how angry and unwilling the senators were, they could not threaten Napoleon at all, and all their intrigues and intrigues were so pale and powerless in the face of absolute force, how could they threaten the new uncrowned king of Italy?
