"Uncle, in fact, you are more suitable than me to join the Holy See!"

Lucien. Louis had a hint of loneliness in his eyes, and his tone was slightly depressed, he didn't understand why his uncle, who had obviously not studied the theological system, could write such an article, could there really be people born to know in this world?

Thinking of this, Lucien. Louis looked at Jérôme. Bonaparte's eyes were filled with a hint of adoration.

Perhaps God really did not abandon the Bonapartes!

Lucien. Louis silently gave himself a hint in order to rationalize.

Jérôme. Bonaparte apparently underestimated the enormous influence of his plagiarized texts throughout the 19th century. Judging from Louis's expression, the effect of the article is indeed good, and he silently maintained a cold posture and looked at Lucien. Louis.

"Uncle, I have a request!" Lucien. Louis was extremely humble and respectful to Jérôme. Bonaparte said.

"Lucien, our blood is the same! You don't have to ask for anything, just say anything you need my help with! "Jérôme. Bonaparte replied in a brisk tone.

Lucien. Louis shook the manuscript in his hand to Jérôme. Bonaparte said, "I wish to be the first reader of your magnum opus!" ”

"Absolutely!" Jérôme. Bonaparte readily agreed to Lucien. Louis asked, then pointed to his head and said, "But you may have to wait a while, this work is no less word count than a novel!" ”

"I'm willing to wait!" Lucien. Louis continued to compliment: "A masterpiece always needs to be carefully polished! I'm sure Your Majesty will cheer when he sees this work of yours, which is more precious than a box of treasures. ”

Jérôme. Bonaparte and Lucien. Louis talked about the content of the article for a long time, during which Jérôme. Bonaparte wrote down some important points of the conversation, and Lucien, a doctor of theology. Louis was indeed more in the field of theology than Jérôme. Bonaparte's "duck to the shelf" is higher in Lucien. With the help of Louis's theological theories, Jérôme. Bonaparte was once again clear about what he was writing and what he wanted to change.

The two talked from the sun until nightfall. Bonaparte invited Lucien again. After eating a light dinner, Louis ordered Captain Letty to take Lucien. Louis was sent home safely.

Walking alone in Rome, where there are no street lights and there are faint signs of unrest, is not a wise move.

Captain Letty carried the necessary smoothbore pistol on the streets of Rome and called a carriage to Lucien. Louis sat in the carriage with Captain Letty, and the carriage slowly disappeared into the night to the tinkling of bells tied with red knots on the carriage.

Looking through the window at Jérôme as the carriage departed. Bonaparte returned to his desk, where he was going to continue his unfinished work.

For the remaining four days, Jérôme. In addition to the necessary food every day, Bonaparte was lying down on his desk and writing hard.

After four days of all-night struggle, the introductory part of the book was finally written by Jérôme. Bonaparte wrote it completely.

Looking at the stacks of paper on the desk, the paper was densely packed with French characters. Bonaparte exhaled and muttered, "It's finally done!" ”

Then he wiped the beads of sweat from his forehead, closed the fountain pen dipped in water, and finished sorting out all the manuscripts, waiting for the invitation of the Holy See.

May 23, 3 p.m.

A black carriage appeared in front of the hotel, and Bishop Muzarelli, dressed in black robes, quietly entered the hotel and knocked on Jérôme. Bonaparte's Gate.

"Your Excellency, Bishop!" Jérôme. Bonaparte greeted the bishop who had reappeared.

"Your Excellency, the carriage is ready! Your Majesty has been waiting for a long time in the Pontifical Palace! "Bishop Muzarelli to Jérôme. Bonaparte said.

Under the leadership of Bishop Muzarelli, Jérôme. Bonaparte got into the carriage of the Holy See.

Captain Letty was left at the hotel by him to wait for news.

Inside the carriage, Bishop Muzarelli first addressed Jérôme. Bonaparte apologized: "Your Excellency, we are sorry that we did not use a car that matches your status, Your Majesty is afraid that excessive etiquette will attract the attention of other forces in the city of Rome!" ”

Jérôme, who was also reluctant to expose his tracks to the sight of the Roman people. Bonaparte echoed the cautious attitude of Bishop Muzarelli.

Black carriages departed from near the Colosseum and circled most of the city before arriving near St. Peter's Square.

After the two got off the bus in St. Peter's Square, under the guidance of Bishop Muzarelli, Jérôme. Bonaparte entered the Vatican Palace.

Jérôme just entered the Vatican Palace. Bonaparte was stunned by the extravagance in front of him, and the whole hall seemed to be shrouded in a hazy layer of gold, and the combination of Romanesque domes and Greek-style stone pillars and flat lintels made Jérôme. Bonaparte felt as if he was in the Roman Republic, with a ceiling of the hall painted with a Genesis motif made of marble of different colors, and a gilded frame of several generations of popes on the walls. Michelangelo's Peter, from the Renaissance, is contained in the right hallway, making him feel like he has traveled from ancient Rome to the Renaissance.

The thousand-year-old Holy See encompasses almost all the cultural heritage from ancient Rome to modern times, as well as the original sin from ancient Rome onwards.

Jérôme. Bonaparte looked at the art collection and gold ornaments in the Vatican Palace in shock, and felt the urge to ransack the place.

Muzarelli looked at Jérôme with a smile on his lips. For the first time, Bonaparte himself was as shocked by what he saw.

However, as I came in more and more times, the shock gradually became habitual, and the idea of climbing up in my heart became more and more intense.

"Your Excellency, it's time for us to go!" Bishop Muzarelli reminded Jérôme. Bonaparte said.

"Huh? Well! "Jérôme came back to his senses. Bonaparte left with Bishop Muzarelli.

The two men crossed St. Peter's Church and through the winding corridors to the Pontifical Palace, where Bishop Muzarelli sent Jérôme Brown to the Pontifical Palace. Bonaparte was brought to the study of the Pontifical Palace and then to Jérôme. Bonaparte said, "Your Majesty is inside!" ”

Jérôme. Bonaparte pushed the door open, and an old man with white hair and a round face appeared in Jérôme, with a white robe trimmed with gold scepters inlaid with precious stones of various colors, and a white crown on his head. Bonaparte's eyes.

He was Pius IX, the Lord of the Papal States and God's agent on earth.
