Chapter Seventy-Seven: Sister Mathilde

Rent the entire floor of Jérôme. Bonaparte emptied one of the rooms from the furniture and left only a few chairs, and told the Bonapartartists that he was going to make the empty room a temporary meeting hall, and then in the empty temporary hall he agreed with the Bonapartists for the official meeting for the next day, and then issued an order to expel the guests. Ruet, Pessini, Fleury and Letty stayed.

"I let you stay because you are the most capable and loyal people I think!" Jérôme. Bonaparte began by praising several of those present.

"Your Majesty, you have a good reputation!" Pesini bowed his head respectfully to Jérôme. Bonaparte said: "We are all insignificant little people united under the banner of Bonaparte, without Bonaparte we are nothing!" It is our common desire that the Empire be re-established in France! ”

Fleury, Letty, Rue and the others nodded at the same time: "For the glory of the empire, we are duty-bound!" ”

"I promise you! If one day the Emperor's soul favors me and allows me to re-establish the empire, you will share this glory with me! "Jérôme. Bonaparte pointed to the people present one by one.

A mature monarch will never be stingy in holding all his power in the palm of his hand, and he needs to divide a part of his power as a reward for his cronies, and at the same time be generous with power, but also guard against their collusion. Through power to sow discord between them, so as to achieve the purpose of healthy competition. Only in this way can the empire flourish and the power delegated by the monarch can be easily reclaimed.

Jérôme. Bonaparte could share power with them, but they had to serve the empire for the rest of their lives.

Once Jérôme. When Bonaparte found any sign of rebellion, he immediately withdrew the authority given to them.

Since the Napoleonic dynasty, both the Restoration and the Orleans dynasty have liked to share power with the French literati, because the literati are better bought, and they use the pen to establish the image of their dynasty, and the dynasty gives them rich rewards.

When the opinions of the literati were at odds with those of the Kingdom, it only took a single sentence to reclaim their power.

Although such power is only in the whims of the monarch, there are still many people who are eager to fight for it.

Pesini and others are also self-interested guys, and when they heard that Jérôme. After Bonaparte's generous promise, the corners of their mouths trembled, and they looked extremely moved.

"Mr. Pesini!" Jérôme. Bonaparte's expression was serious, and his tone became extraordinarily formal.

"Your Majesty!" Pessini replied.

"Now I appoint you as the head of the secretary's office! I don't know, do you have faith! "Jérôme. Bonaparte gave Pesini's first appointment.

"I will definitely live up to His Majesty's entrustment!" Persini said firmly.

Although said Jérôme. Bonaparte's head of the secretary's office may be an empty shelf, but this appointment means that Pessini has been turned into a regular officer.

Don't look now just an empty shelf, as long as Jérôme . When Bonaparte became president, the head of the secretary's office would be the most powerful department.

Hear Jérôme. The appointment of Bonaparte, Eugène. Rue looked envious, and at the same time he was also a little apprehensive in his heart. What position was given to him by Bonaparte.

"Colonel Fleury!" Jérôme. Bonaparte was also officially called Fleury Tract.

"In!" Fleury stood straight and waited for Jérôme. Bonaparte's appointment.

"You have been following me for some time, and I see all your loyalty to the Bonapartes! That's why I've appointed you as the head of the guardhouse, and I'm responsible for guarding my safety!" I don't know if you want to! "Jérôme. Bonaparte said to Fleury.

"Of course I do!" Fleury said in an excited tone.

Protect Jérôme. Bonaparte's security is undoubtedly a top priority, which represents Jérôme. Bonaparte's trust in him.

Those who can gain the trust of the monarch will never lack rights.

The next Captain Letty was killed by Jérôme. Bonaparte gave the job of propaganda, that is, organizing people to distribute small advertisements on the streets.

Eugène. Ruiet was also appointed "Minister of Foreign Affairs", and his work centred on the Parliament or the salon to co-opt a group of people inclined to Bonaparte.

Of course, Jérôme. Bonaparte still hoped that Ruiet would become justice minister, because that was his job.

"I will inform all the Bonapartists of your appointment at the official meeting tomorrow and make them respect your authority! Of course, your role is not static, it all changes depending on the situation. ”

Looking at the four people whose faces changed slightly, Jérôme who had explained everything. Bonaparte tactfully gave the order to evict the guests.

The four of them left in turn, and the last one to leave was Jérôme. Bonaparte closed the door of the makeshift meeting and returned to the room where he had been living.

Jérôme who has taken care of everything. Bonaparte lay on the bed with his eyes closed, ready to fall asleep.

Right here in Jérôme. As Bonaparte was about to fall asleep, there was a rhythmic knock at the door.

Jérôme, who was holding back his sleepiness. Bonaparte yawned and slowly staggered to the door, twisting the brass knob to open it.

The door slowly opened, and a beautiful woman appeared outside the door. Bonaparte instantly became energetic when he saw the beauty, he scratched his head and said, "Sister, it's so late!" What are you doing here! ”

The beauty standing in the doorway is none other than Mathilde. Bonaparte, but also Jérôme. Bonaparte's own sister.

Wearing a white court dress and holding an ivory fan, she looked at the younger brother in front of her who exuded a lazy atmosphere, and angrily poked Jerom with the ivory fan. Bonaparte's chest said: "Jérôme, why didn't you tell me in advance when you came!" ”

"Hmm...... Well! "Jérôme. Bonaparte gave a sincere smirk, a smile he had only among his fellow family: "It's getting late!" I wonder if it's too late to tell you tomorrow! ”

"What I have told you in my letter! Do you remember! Mathilde looked at Jérôme. Bonaparte said.

"Things? What's the matter? "Jérôme, who has just come out of his stupor. Bonaparte's thinking was somewhat confused.

Seeing that his sister Mathilde was about to go berserk, Jérôme. Bonaparte instantly recalled what his sister had told him in the letter, and he hurriedly took Mathilde's arm and let Mathilde sit on the sofa, and then while squeezing Mathilde's shoulder, he said, "You mean to let me come back to see Monsieur Hugo!" ”

"You know!" Mathilde said in a strange tone, "When is our great prince going to receive him?" ”

"How can this be! I should be visiting! "I know that my sister is connotating her own Jérôme. Bonaparte said to her in a low voice.

He and his father owe too much to their sister Mathilde.

"Let's go! My Majesty, Prince! "Mathilde vs. Jérôme. Bonaparte said.

"Let's go? Where to? ”
