Chapter 57: Envoys and Gifts

As Charles. As Bonaparte had anticipated, Bishop Muzarelli entered the Pope and informed Pius IX that the jewel was now in the Bonaparte family's desire to meet him.

Sensing the unpredictability of the situation in the Papal States, Pius IX decided to leave himself an extra path.

Pius IX immediately granted the request of the Bonaparte family and set a date.

"Muzarelli, then please take a trip yourself!" Pius IX said to Bishop Muzarelli.

"Yes! Your Majesty! Bishop Muzarelli took orders from Pius IX and left.

Looking at the background of Bishop Muzarelli's departure, Pius IX's eyes were glazed and he muttered: "This world is really getting more and more incomprehensible!" ”

An old man in a red robe appeared in front of Pius IX from a dark corner, and his gray hair and wrinkled face whispered to Pius IX: "Your Majesty, Rome is getting more and more chaotic now! Many forces are already on the move! ”

Pius IX frowned, and said with disgust in his tone, "Have you found out the forces behind it?" ”

"Most have already been identified!" The cardinal replied to Pius IX.

"Then let's do it!" Pius IX gestured in the air with his sword, "I've given them too much!" ”

"Your Majesty......" the cardinal said with a twitch at the corner of his mouth: "I'm afraid not now, and the rash intensification of contradictions may make our community in a difficult situation." ”

"So what do you think you should do now? Shall we be left to be killed? Pius IX said in an excited voice.

The cardinal did not speak, and to this day there is nothing he can do.

"That's it! I'm tired, you go down! Pius IX turned and sat down on the papal throne, inlaid with various precious stones.

The cardinal leaves.

Pius IX took out the ruby offered by Muzarelli and stared at it, muttering in a low voice: "Bonaparte, I don't know if you can control the beast of revolution like the emperor at the beginning!" ”

……

On the other hand, Jérôme, who lived in the Roman Forum. Bonaparte was not idle, and while he was in the hotel, he was writing something in his hands.

So much so that there is no time to admire the ruins of ancient Rome.

"Knock knock!"

A short knock on the door will be Jérôme. Bonaparte woke up from the sea of words, closed the pen and got up to open the door.

Lucien. Louie stood outside the door with a guy he didn't know.

"Uncle Jérôme!" Lucien. Louis respectfully addressed Jérôme. Bonaparte said.

"Prince Jérôme!" The other guy looked at Jérôme with curiosity. Bonaparte, while facing Jérôme. Bonaparte saluted.

"Who is this?" Jérôme. Bonaparte asked, confused.

"Uncle, this is Bishop Muzarelli!" Lucien. Louis to Jérôme. Bonaparte introduced.

"Hello! Your Excellency, Bishop! "Jérôme. Bonaparte bowed to Muzarelli.

Although I don't know what level the guy in front of me is in the Holy See, the guy who can be brought in front of him by his nephew must be someone who will help him meet the Pope.

"Bishop Muzarelli is the Pope's envoy! He is also the bishop who oversees the censorship of books and public education in Rome! "Lucien. Louis again to Jérôme. Bonaparte introduced.

Jérôme. Bonaparte had a look of surprise on his face, he didn't expect this guy to be the "Minister of Education" of the Papal States.

"Your Royal Highness, you may not know me anymore, but we met when Bishop Fish was still around!" Muzarelli and Jérôme. Bonaparte closes relations.

Jérôme. Bonaparte still didn't remember, he could only fool around sloppily.

In Jérôme. At the invitation of Bonaparte, Bishop Muzarelli and Lucien. Louis sat down on the long sofa.

Muzarelli, who was seated, immediately greeted Jérôme. Bonaparte said: "On behalf of His Majesty, I welcome His Excellency the Prince, and His Majesty the Pope is very pleased that His Excellency the Prince is able to come to Rome. ”

Muzarelli's polite words were likewise met by Jérôme. Bonaparte replied with the same polite words.

The two sides officially started the exchange.

"I follow the order of Pope Pius IX and invite Prince Jérôme to the Religious Palace! I wonder if Your Excellency will have time! "Bishop Muza Technology to Jérôme. Bonaparte asked.

It's done!

Jérôme. Bonaparte's palms on his thighs curled up into a fist.

Despite the excitement in his heart, his face was still flat.

"Thank you Pope for giving me a chance to meet this devout believer!" Jérôme. Bonaparte shamelessly advertised himself as a "devout believer."

Muzarelli also opened his eyes and said nonsense: "Your Majesty cares for and helps every devout believer, especially a devout believer like the Prince!" ”

After touting each other for a long time, the two finally set a date of May 31, which is 4 days later.

"Your Excellency, there will be a carriage from the Holy See to pick you up in 4 days, I hope you don't forget!" Muzarelli vs. Jérôme. Bonaparte admonished.

"Of course!" Jérôme. Bonaparte took it to heart, "That's right! Tell His Majesty Pius IX that I will give him something important on the day I meet him! ”

How much money do the Bonapartes still have!

Will Jérôme. Bishop Muzarelli, whose "gift" was Bonaparte's "gift" as jewelry, did not know that this "gift" was more precious than jewelry in some ways.

"Then I'll see!" Muzarelli got up and left, and Jérôme. Bonaparte and Lucien. Louis dropped Muzarelli downstairs at the hotel.

A carriage with the emblem of the Papal State appeared in front of Bishop Muzarelli, who returned to the Palace of Literature in a carriage.

Lucien. Louis was once again replaced by Jérôme. Bonaparte invited to the hotel.

"Take a look at this!" Jérôme. Bonaparte handed to Lucien the manuscript that had just been placed on his desk and had not yet been finalized. Louis.

Lucien who took the manuscript. Louis first glanced at the contents of the manuscript nonchalantly, and then his expression became more and more serious.

Sitting in Lucien. Jérôme opposite Louis. The old god Bonaparte waited for Lucien on his legs cocked. Louis.

Since the manuscript was not yet finished, Lucien. Louis quickly finished reading it, and he pointed to the manuscript with a shocked look on his face. Bonaparte said, "Uncle, you wrote this manuscript!" ”

"That's right!" Jérôme. Bonaparte nodded reassuringly.

Anyway, the original author of the manuscript was born 26 years later, and his own piracy can completely force the original to die.

I'm afraid the original author couldn't have imagined that someone would really be able to plagiarize across time.
