Chapter 54: Prince Kono
The afterglow of the setting sun falls on Jérôme. Bonaparte and Lucien. On Louie's face, it was time for the two to separate.
On the occasion of parting, Lucien. Louis asked Jérôme again. Bonaparte said, "Where shall I meet you again?"
Jérôme. Bonaparte immediately pointed to Letty and said, "Tomorrow Letty will take the initiative to meet you here and inform me of my residence." What do you think! ”
Jérôme. Bonaparte gently stomped on his cowhide and stamped on the concrete-paved Piazza Venezia.
Captain Letty to Lucien. Louis bowed slightly in respect.
"I see!" Lucien. Louis looked at Letty again, as if trying to memorize Letty's appearance.
The uncle and nephew were separated in Piazza Venezia. Bonaparte and Captain Letty found a nice inn near the Colosseum in ancient Rome. Bonaparte came to the long-term lease and showed unprecedented enthusiasm.
Not only to Jérôme. Bonaparte promised to provide delicious food while offering Jérôme. Bonaparte hinted that he could help Jérôme. The "hospitable" Roman girl of Bonaparte.
Jérôme. After a brief impulse in Bonaparte's heart, the sense of divine mission finally outweighed the desire to reproduce, and he made up his mind not to mess with the city of Rome.
However, he still bowed his head slightly to show that he understood, and took out five golden cuties and handed them to the innkeeper.
The innkeeper saw Jérôme. Bonaparte's face was surprised at first, then he regained his usual smile and took Jérôme with his hand. Bonaparte handed over the gold coins.
In these years, who can have an enmity with money, he doesn't care what the identity of the guest is, as long as it can bring him benefits, even if it is a devil, he will trade with him.
Jérôme. Bonaparte officially checked in at the hotel.
……
The words are divided into two ends.
Lucien returning home. Louis was soon inspired by the father "Prince of Cono" Charles. Bonaparte's Martyrdom.
In the courtyard of the Bonaparte Palace, Prince Charles of Cono. Bonaparte's expression grim and pointed at Lucien. Louis reprimanded like a bell: "Louie, didn't I tell you to go home early?" Why are you coming back now, do you know that Rome is in chaos now! You're 20 years old, not a kid anymore! Can you save me a snack! ”
Lucien. Louis lowered his head and pretended to be a good student, listening to Charles. Bonaparte's reprimand, he knew that once he had the slightest thought of rebuttal, he would not want to sleep in peace all night.
My brother probably moved out because he couldn't stand his father's nagging!
Lucien. Louis complained silently in his heart.
It was too sad that I finally got two days off from school in Rome and had to waste my father's nagging.
Time in Shire. Half an hour after Bonaparte's reprimand, Charles. Bonaparte thought that he had finally eradicated the loose thoughts of this "son" and stopped reprimanding.
Dry mouth Charles. Bonaparte swallowed and continued to question, "Say it! Why the hell are you coming home now! ”
Lucien. Louis told his father what had happened to him at the gates of Rome.
But the whole process disappeared with his uncle Jérôme. Bonaparte met the matter.
After listening to Lucien. Louis's answer, Charles. Bonaparte nodded with satisfaction and said, "Louie, I'm very happy!" You have the ability to distinguish between right and wrong! ”
Then, he turned to a serious tone and said: "However, the process of your handling of things is very bad!" ”
"Why is it bad? Isn't it our duty to punish the wicked? "Lucien. Louis argued somewhat unconvinced.
Shire. Bonaparte looked at his 20-year-old son, who was still innocent, and he got up and patted his shoulder, saying, "The world has its rules, just like the carriage lady you helped has thanked you?" ”
Lucien. Louis shook his head after a moment, "He has always rejected my kindness, why is that?" ”
"That's how the world works when I'm telling you! The soldiers guarding the gates of the city are insignificant in our eyes, but in the eyes of the coachmen they are behemoths...... "Charles. Bonaparte to Lucien. Louis taught by example, and then he patted Lucien. Louis said on his shoulder: "I have no objection to you helping the weak, even very happy." The squalor of the Holy See does not infect you, but sometimes you need to learn to do things in a roundabout way. ”
"Father, the Holy See is not dirty!" Lucien. Louis retorted: "Grandma and Grandpa are also devout believers, especially Grandpa Grandpa, who is a cardinal!" ”
Shire. Having lived with his grandmother (Queen Dowager Letizia) and his uncle (Cardinal Fisch) for many years, Bonaparte understood that his grandmother and grandfather were rare devout and kind-hearted believers.
"Alas!" Shire. Bonaparte sighed and said: "They are a product of an era, if it were not for my uncle, your uncle and grandfather, His Majesty Napoleon, my uncle and grandfather would not have become cardinals at all!" ”
"That'...... Shall we put one more Bonaparte on the throne! "Lucien. Louis said bluntly.
"No more! Times are changing, and we don't have a chance anymore! "Charles. Bonaparte was clearly unwilling to believe in the illusory dream of restoration.
"My uncle said ......"
Not waiting for Lucien. As Louis finished speaking, he realized that he had slipped out.
"Uncle? Who? "Charles. Bonaparte asked in a loud tone, "Pierre? Louis (Napoleon III)? Or Jérôme? ”
"I didn't ...... Nothing ......" Lucien. Louis took a slight step back, remorseful in his heart.
In the end, he couldn't resist the Charles. Bonaparte's questioning confessed to Jérôme. Bonaparte and to Charles. Bonaparte illustrated Louis. News of Napoleon's death.
Louis ...... Is he really dead? Is Jérôme now the head of the Bonaparte family? "Charles. Bonaparte's pupils were dilated, and he muttered to himself.
Although he did not like his cousin, he was saddened by his death.
There are not many people left in the Bonaparte family!
"Yes!" Lucien. Louis responded.
Shire. Bonaparte again from Lucien. Louis drew Jérôme from his mouth. Bonaparte wanted news of the Pope.
"Is Bonaparte's blood really a curse?" Shire. Bonaparte did not expect that his second son, who had tried his best to prevent him, would still step into the ranks of his two younger brothers, and he could not help but wonder if his previous behavior of blindly avoiding was correct.
"Father...... Lucien. Louis looked timidly at Charles. Bonaparte.
Shire. Bonaparte looked at Lucien. Louis glanced at him and said, "Louie, do you want to be a cardinal like your grandfather?" ”
"Of course!" Lucien. Louis nodded in response.
Shire. Bonaparte seemed determined to return to the room and take out a sparkling ruby from a drawer.
This is the relics of the Queen Mother, and now he wants to use this relic to open a papal passage for the Bonaparte family.
