Jérôme. Bonaparte had a long conversation with Pius IX, during which Pius IX inquired about the existing problems in Rome. Bonaparte responded as much as he could for Pius IX.

As night fell, at the invitation of Pius IX, Jérôme. Bonaparte enjoyed the feeling of being at home and at the banquet Pius IX presented to Jérôme. Bonaparte talked a lot about the emperor's affairs in the army, and at the same time lamented that if the emperor had not failed, he might still stay in the French army, and maybe he could be a general.

Jérôme. Bonaparte complimented Pius IX's achievements that were now far on par with those of the French generals.

The two of them, each with their own thoughts, left in "laughter".

Departing Jérôme in the banquet hall of the Pontifical Palace. Bonaparte, guided by the priest, got into the carriage prepared for him by Pius IX.

The carriage slowly drove away from the Vatican Palace, and Jérôme, who was half-lying in the carriage. Bonaparte remembered what he had done today, and a smile appeared on his lips.

He has done everything he can, and the future of the Papal States depends on Pius IX himself.

……

And on the other side of the Vatican Palace, Pope Pius IX is also not idle.

Before it was completely nightfall, he urgently summoned a group of cardinals loyal to him, as well as Bishop Muzarelli and the first prime minister of the future Papal States, Pererino. Rosie.

【Perelino. Rossi: July 13, 1787 - November 16, 1848, Italian economist, politician, lawyer, French ambassador to the Papal States during the July Dynasty, after the fall of the July Dynasty, invited by Pius IX to serve as the first prime minister of the Papal States, assassinated in the Palais des Clos on November 16. 】

The cardinals, forcibly awakened by Pius IX, listened to the Pope's "admonitions" with sleepy eyes.

The situation was not the right time to talk in detail, and Pius IX could only make a long story short and put Jérôme short. Bonaparte's proposal was addressed to the cardinals.

The cardinals, who had long been immersed in religious infighting, were not very adept at the struggle for secular power, and turned their attention to Pererino, who had recently been hired by the Pope. Rosie's body.

Pererino. Rosie listened carefully to what Pius IX said, and after thinking for a long time, he said, "Your Majesty, I think this is feasible! We can form a party loyal to the Pope, as France did, and elect a respected priest to serve in the office! ”

Pererino. Rossi's words did not resonate silently with the cardinals, and certainly did not arouse their objections, and they waited for Pius IX's response like a personal sculpture.

"Let's do it first! However, we have to do it step by step, starting with the economy! "Pius IX, who has not completely lost his will to reform, decided to try it first, and if the reform falls into deep waters, he will go back himself.

With the "unanimous" consent of the cardinals and the consent of the Pope, the Papal States once again embarked on a vigorous reform in order to alleviate social contradictions.

On 1 June, Pius IX delivered a solemn sermon in the church of St. Petersburg and announced why he would respond to the call of the people of the Papal States that the reform of the Papal States was expected to begin in July.

For a time, the whole of Rome jumped into cheers, almost everyone cheered for the "enlightenment" of the pope, and the demonstrations disappeared without a trace overnight.

Moderate liberals, ultra-liberals and even republicans awaited the beginning of the Papal reforms.

Jérôme. Bonaparte simply watched Rome's every move with a cold eye and continued to write the unfinished Catholic Economic Ethics.

On June 10, two letters from France addressed Jérôme. Bonaparte was very excited.

The writers of the letter were none other than Pessini and Romaël, and in the letter Pessini resembled Jérôme. Bonaparte told a story about his cousin Louis. The situation of Napoleon's funeral.

Louis. Napoleon's body was revered by the French people after entering France, and the procession from Calais to France was endless, and along the way, the major newspapers were like sharks smelling blood. Napoleon's "great achievements".

After the body arrived in the Seine department, it was led by the consuls Lamartine and François. Arago welcomed him back, and all the citizens of Paris came to watch, and the whole of Paris was in harmony like never before.

Under the auspices of Lamartine and Arago, Louis. Napoleon's body rests next to the remains of the Roman kings of Les Invalides under the name of a republican hero.

After the funeral, the whole of Paris got to know the legendary Prince Louis. Napoleon.

In Ruet's letter, Jérôme. Bonaparte learned about the dynamics of the Bonaparte, as well as about his two cousins and his father, Jérôme the Elder. The situation of Bonaparte.

Rue vaguely pointed out in Louis. After Napoleon's body was returned, his cousin Pierre. Bonaparte wanted to take his place as the new leader of the Bonaparte family.

Unable to gain the approval of the Bonaparte party, and the opposition of his father Jérôme the Elder and his sister Mathilde, his cousin had no choice but to retreat to Lucien. Murat participates in the elections.

Since then, two members of the Bonaparte family (father Jérôme Sr., cousin Pierre. Bonaparte ran for election and became a member of Parliament, and his name and some of the heroic events in the United Kingdom were also spread in the cafés of Paris [Ruet's Suggestion], and even the literary salons also circulated his name "The Merit of Sister Mathilde".

On the day he wrote the letter (June 4), he had already ranked fourth in the Seine province in terms of votes, not far from the third-place Thiers [PS: There is a grapevine that Thiers used bribe money to cheat to win votes], and his own votes in Corsica, Junna, and Haute-Charente were overwhelmingly obtained, which means that he can enter French land as a member of the three regions as long as he wants.

Lamartine's agreement could not bind him in any way.

However, Jérôme. Bonaparte would not do this, he had to keep his agreement with Lamartine.

Even Lamartine's time in power is numbered.

Jérôme after reading the Pessini and Ruet envelopes. Bonaparte let out a sigh of relief, shook his head and muttered to himself, "Alas! O Bonaparte! ”

With that, he took out the scratch paper from the drawer and wrote letters to Pessini and Ruet.

After the binding of the two letters, Jérôme. Bonaparte summoned Letty and handed two letters to Lédy, and then to Lédi a note of 300,000 francs, asking him to remit to Paris, together with the envelopes, to finance the activities of the Bonaparte.
