Section 90 Retirement and reorganization of the Cabinet

readx;? It had been a month since Louis XVI suppressed the Revolution, and the last monarch's defeat had been the result of his temporary house arrest at the Palace of Versailles by the leaders of the Féaillants. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

To tell the truth, if he was the supreme leader of the Brien-Fjon faction at this time, he would no longer care about the belief in a constitutional monarchy, and the first thing he did was to execute Louis XVI to prevent future troubles. But Lafayette was not Brion after all, and his faith in a constitutional monarchy remained unshakable, even with Louis XVI's knife on his neck.

On November 14, 1789, Lafayette, on behalf of Louis XVI and the Féillants, officially announced to all of Europe that the Kingdom of France would be transformed into a constitutional monarchy. As the initiator of the bloody battle in Paris, Louis XVI, the head of state representing France, was officially released from house arrest and returned to the Palace of Versailles.

After all, politics is often like that, with high risk and high reward, and Louis XVI may have been the kind of unlucky guy who not only did not regain power, but lost everything.

At this time, he seems to have spent more than ten years in this month, and he feels a lot older with sorrow. In fact, everyone understood that the monarchy was a constitutional monarchy, and while the emperors of the late Qing Dynasty wished they were happy, Louis XVI could no longer control his own destiny and was even forced to accept a series of harsher conditions.

In the chamber of the Palace of Versailles, the top revolutionary figures, led by the Féaillants, gathered for a meeting of the French system.

Lafayette, who sat at the top, glanced around, fixed his gaze on Louis XVI and said: "The king has agreed that the Kingdom of France will be a constitutional monarchy, and that the Legislative Assembly will represent the highest organ of state power. ”

After a pause, a copy was already placed in front of Louis XVI. Lafayette continued: "After consultation with the revolutionary parties, the members of the Legislative Assembly were given seven hundred members, and the districts were redivided. The Dali Yuan, the Supreme Court, and the jury system were established. At the same time, there was a separation of powers, with the legislative power belonging to the Legislative Assembly, the judicial power vesting in the courts at all levels, and the king retaining only executive power. Most importantly, His Majesty had to accept the move to Paris, keeping only two hundred Janissaries. ”

This bill not only shows that Louis XVI is only a puppet of the revolutionary government, but also really tramples on the face of the Bourbon royal family, and the last thing Louis XVI can bear is to move to Paris. Nearly a hundred years ago, his grandfather Louis XIV built the most extravagant palace in Europe, the Palace of Versailles, which itself is a symbol of the Bourbon dynasty.

It was a tragedy that Louis XVI had fallen to this point, and he had to give in and establish the position of the National Guard in France. At the same time, the National Guard was reorganized, and the post of commander-in-chief of the Lafayette Self-Defense Forces was specially appointed.

At this time, Louis XVI also knew very well that it would be good to be able to save his life now. Lafayette demanded Louis XVI's absolute confidence in him, in the hope that the head of the French regime would be subject to him. It can also be said that as long as Lafayette remains in the highest position in France, then the Bourbon royal family can at least be preserved.

"I agree. Louis XVI nodded sadly and signed his name on the paper.

。。。。。。

Lafayette called for the establishment of a legislative assembly for the sole purpose of controlling French power with the Fialians as the main body. Although other revolutionary parties, such as the Jacobins, were bound to join the Legislative Assembly, it was no harm to the growing Fjäyān, and the National Guard under the control of Lafayette had been expanded to 30,000 men.

At the first poll of the Legislative Assembly, Lafayette's Féyant faction effortlessly became the first ruling party in France with two-thirds of the votes. Naturally, there was a right to form a new cabinet in France through internal decision, and the choice naturally fell to Lafayette.

Under such circumstances, Condorcet, Barnaf, Brissot, and other leading figures of the Fjëlāyant faction all gathered at Lafayette's mansion, and Brion and Pisglou were invited by Lafayette as guests.

Everyone snuggled up on the sofa in the council chamber, looking at the appearance of these people, Lafayette and Brion seemed to feel the same way, they had never seen them so nervous during the revolution, why did they look like this at this time?

Lafayette, who is now the supreme leader of all France, naturally made enough face, gently shook a glass of red wine and began to announce: "The honorable General Pisegru has been promoted to general, and he will be the commander of the Rhine Corps, and concurrently the post of Minister of Land. The Marquis de Condorcet served as Minister of Education and was a member of the Academy of Sciences. Barnaf served as deputy commander of the Self-Defense Forces and commander of the Paris Guards。。。。。。 ”

The arrangement of positions was announced from high to low, and of course at this time due to the separation of powers, the post of prime minister was abolished, and there were several people in senior government positions such as ministers.

As for Pishgru's arrangement, Lafayette seems to feel that as the commander of the Rhine Army, which is the most effective in France, having such a commander with heavy troops should have a great deterrent and control effect on other French army forces. I'm afraid that if Lafayette understands the inside story of the Rhine Army at this time, he will have the heart to die.

As for the positions of other high-ranking officials, Lafayette is obviously very reasonable. It's just that the so-called Paris Guard under Barnaf is the more than 2,000 young people who have just been newly organized, although their combat effectiveness is seriously insufficient, but fortunately, there is a living force in their hands, and they can also take the opportunity to control the situation in Paris.

Here are some of the middle and lower positions in the government, Lafayette took a leisurely sip of red wine and continued: "Brissot, along with Sières, is a member of the Foreign Affairs Council, dealing with foreign affairs, and 。。。。。。。 ”

It was clear that there was no place for Brisso in the high rank of the cabinet, and such a result was indeed very surprising to the members of the Fjën. The Fiyan faction attached great importance to its position within the party, and the Foreign Affairs Commissar could be said to be only a mid-level position under the jurisdiction of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.

Sières was not well-known in the revolutionary party, but he was a supporter of Lafayette, and it was understandable that he held this position, but Brissot, as Lafayette's old colleague in the Jacobins, was indeed a bit unjustifiable.

Brion naturally knew in his heart that Brisso had long been dissatisfied with the constitutional monarchy, and even gradually began to gather forces within the Fyan faction, and sooner or later had the idea of replacing Lafayette. How could Lafayette let Brissot hold a key position? It would be good not to have found an opportunity to kick Brissot out completely.

The appointment was announced, and it was strange that Brion's name was not placed in the senior cabinet or in the middle and lower government departments. However, the post of Minister of the Interior, who was in charge of France's internal affairs, remained vacant, and there is no doubt that the post must have been deliberately reserved for Brion by Lafayette.

At this time, Brion fixed his eyes on the middle-aged man in the robe beside Lafayette. That's right, the name Sières immediately evoked memories of Brion's previous life, and although the middle-aged man was now unknown in France, he would become one of the five processors of France in just a few years. Even Napoleon's ascension to the throne had to need his help.

Brion's first instinct at this time was to woo him, and he would inevitably need the help of Sières in the future.

"Marquis de Lafayette, I think that Mr. Esières' talent may be a bit condescending in this small position of diplomatic commissar. ”

Brion's seemingly bland words instantly cooled the atmosphere in the whole room, and Lafayette was really taken aback, although he had always felt that this young man was very deep in the city, but this time he was really confused, and he couldn't even see a trace of Brion's purpose.

It stands to reason that Sières was only a small man, and if it was profitable to promote him, where would the profit come from? Could it be to win him over? But it would be better to win over such a medium-ranking figure of the Phyan sect than to win over Brisso. This is where Lafayette suffers. However, Siaiyes on the side did not even come to his senses about what had just happened.

With the strength of Briand's defending side, Lafayette naturally weighed it in his heart. Regardless of the purpose, Lafayette always wanted to give Briand a face. "I agree with the Duke of Baden, how about sending Sières to the Ministry of Justice?"

Looking at Siaiers who was at a loss, Brion smiled slightly: "I'm afraid that the position of Minister of the Interior may be suitable for Mr. Siaiers, it just so happens that this position is still vacant, what do you think?"

In fact, politics can sometimes be seen as an investment, and Brion is convinced of that. Without the political backing of powerful forces and military force, all rights are in vain. And this so-called Minister of the Interior is even more insignificant to Briand, at best a title, and it is most appropriate to use this useless title to take advantage of it.

"Is it true that the Duke of Baden has no interest in this Minister of the Interior?" asked Lafayette curiously. "I'm afraid that only the duke can hold the position in the whole of France, and besides, you are a member of the royal family, and the king is your brother. ”

It has to be said that Lafayette made a good move, precisely because Brion was a descendant of the Bourbon dynasty, and his position in the royal family was even more prominent. As long as Brion is allowed to hold an important position in the state, he can not only use his prestige among the people, but also indirectly win over the royal family and appease the nobles. Otherwise, the contradictions of the aristocratic class would inevitably make Lafayette politically anxious.

Brion naturally understood Lafayette's thoughts, and nodded: "Then let Mr. Sières be the deputy minister of the interior, I need a competent assistant." ”

"No problem. Lafayette replied lightly, but it looked like he had just closed a deal.

On 25 November, the Fiyantes formally formed their cabinet and were inaugurated in the City of Paris. And when the senior French cabinet officials were interviewed by the media, Brion was not as excited as most people, he just said a few words lightly: "It's time to go home." ”

。。。。。。。。。

"What? you want to retire?" In the makeshift office, Languedot looked at Briand incredulously, "Isn't it too early?" ”

It can be said that it is a matter of time before politicians retire in history, but Briand is only twenty years old now, and he has become the French Minister of the Interior at a young age, so it is unimaginable that he would have given up his post and announced his retirement from politics.

However, although all this is weird, there is still no sense of disobedience at all when it happens to Brion. After all, Languedot knew Briand's character best, and I am afraid that a small Home Secretary would never be able to satisfy his appetite. And Brion is not like an ordinary politician, he is strong enough to make a comeback.

Brion nodded: "This is something I have decided a long time ago, Desai has been ordered to gather troops, and I will prepare to return to the Duchy of Baden in the near future." ”

"But isn't our foreshadowing in vain?" asked Languedott.

Brion stretched his waist indifferently: "Naturally, it was not in vain, on the contrary, I got the most out of entering Paris this time." Speaking of which, after being nervous for so many months, we should also relax in the fiefdom. By the way, let McDonald come over, I have a task to hand over to Skynet. ”

"Well, since I'm your butler, I'll support your decision. Languedot smiled, forever convinced that Brion had made the right decision.

。。。。。。。

"The Duke of Baden officially announced his resignation, and Sières officially and legitimately assumed the post of Minister of the Interior. —Le France.
