Jérôme. President Bonaparte's cooperation with the magnates of the Party of Order went very smoothly, and the two sides had cordial and friendly conversations, and they had a frank conversation [the President was eager to strangle the Party of Order], and they had a full exchange of views [the President could not defeat the Party of Order in a short period of time, so he could only make a small move], and the result of the talks was meaningful [the President smoothly promoted his own Italian general to become a secret son].

At the end of the meeting, Fleury brought in the champagne that had been prepared long ago, and the president and the magnates of the Order Party and the military leaders raised their glasses.

"Cheers to our future cooperation and better cooperation!" Jérôme. Bonaparte raised his glass and toasted it.

Several cups collided with each other and made a "crackling" sound, I wonder if it was a sign of the future.

However, at present, the president and the party of order can only tolerate each other and be a "fake couple" who have different dreams in the same bed.

Both sides hid their bayonets and pistols under their bedding and waited for a duel after dawn.

Odilon. Barrow and the others left, and Jérôme. Bonaparte returned to the dinner.

Jérôme who had just returned to dinner. Bonaparte was once again surrounded by the guests of the dinner, who toasted the prince and president with some flattering words.

The banquet lasted until 12 o'clock in the middle of the night, and the guests invited to the Élysée Palace left one after another.

Jérôme after a tiring day. Bonaparte was helped by Fleury into his bedroom in the style of the Vintage Empire.

Half-drunk and half-awake Jérôme. Bonaparte barely opened his eyes, and in a daze, Fleury said, "Fleury...... Tomorrow at 11 o'clock ...... Call me on time! ”

"But Your Highness, tomorrow is your first day as president, shouldn't we ......?" Fleury hesitated for a moment, then replied tentatively.

"President?" Jérôme. Bonaparte struggled to get up from the bed, pointed to himself and whispered, "Now I, the president, have nothing but the halo of my uncle!" ”

Saying, Jérôme. "We must be more careful, step by step to wrest power from them, and then ......" Jérôme. Bonaparte made a gesture of raising his knife and said viciously: "Send them to hell!" ”

"Your Highness, we will definitely be able to win!" Fleury replied without hesitation.

"Yes! I believe it too! "Jérôme. Bonaparte lay down on the bed again.

In the next second, Fleury's ears rang with Jérôme. Bonaparte snored as he carefully took off Jérôme. Bonaparte's boots will be Jérôme. Bonaparte put his legs on the bed and put his velvet back on Jérôme. Bonaparte's body carefully closed the door and left.

……

The scorching midday sun shone on Jérôme through the golden drapery inlaid with the double-headed eagle. On Bonaparte's face, Jérôme, who had a splitting headache due to excessive drinking. Bonaparte stretched out his right hand to block the sun.

But leave it to Jérôme. Bonaparte didn't sleep very long.

After about 10 minutes, there was a knock at the door. Bonaparte had to barely open his eyes and ask with an angry get-up, "Who's out there?" ”

"Your Highness, Prime Minister Barrow is already waiting for you in the study!" Fleury, who knew that he had disturbed the rest of the Prince and President, responded with sincere fear: "And the Count of Faru!" ”

"That's it! I know! "Jérôme. Bonaparte whispered, "Really, can you die if you come later?" ”

Gérôme with a grumbling mouth. Bonaparte still had to get up with a headache, and Fleury, who heard the movement in the room, hurriedly called several maids, who followed Fleury into the bedroom.

Jérôme in the haze. Bonaparte was groomed and groomed by the maids.

Jérôme squinted for a moment. Bonaparte brace himself to the door of the study, where Fleury was ready for Jérôme. Bonaparte opened the door to the study, and the figures of Barrow and the Count of Falou appeared.

"Good afternoon, Mr. President!" Jérôme, who has not arrived for a long time. Bonaparte Odillon. There was a look of displeasure on Barrow's face, Thiers was right, Prince Bonaparte was an irresponsible fellow.

"Mr. President!" The Count of Falou smiled at Jérôme. Bonaparte's jaw.

"Hello, Mr. Prime Minister, Mr. Falou!" Jérôme. Bonaparte was not embarrassed to be late, and when he entered the room, he shook hands with Barrow and Falou one by one.

"Mr. Prime Minister, this is our Minister of Public Education!" Knowingly asked Jérôme. Bonaparte set his eyes on Barrow Road.

"That's right!" Odilon. Barrow responded.

"Minister Falou, I hope you can benefit more people in the field of public education! Education is the lifeblood of France! "Jérôme. Bonaparte said to the Count of Falou in a slightly exaggerated tone.

"Since Mr. President and Mr. Prime Minister have entrusted me with the work in the field of education, then I will do my best to complete it!" The Count of Falu replied in a flat and slow tone, like a preacher preaching: "I have a proposal to hand over to ......"

Before the Count of Falou could finish speaking, Jérôme. Bonaparte interrupted the Count of Falou's next speech: "At this time, let's not talk about such a heavy subject!" Mr. Barrow, Prime Minister, what do you think of my proposal? ”

Odilon who is reluctant to make trouble until the cabinet is formed. Barrow endorsed Jérôme. Bonaparte's suggestion, the slightly reluctant Count Falu had to put his proposal on hold for the time being.

Since today is the first day of his presidency and the cabinet has not yet been formed, Jérôme has not yet been formed. Bonaparte didn't have anything to criticize.

Odilon chatting a few words. Barrow and Falu left together, leaving only Jérôme in his study. Bonaparte sat alone in a chair with his legs crossed, flipping through the books taken from the bookshelf across from the walnut desk.

Until late in the evening, Jérôme. Bonaparte had just left his study and went to the dining room.

Over the next ten days, Jérôme. Bonaparte's daily routine was always to get up at 10 a.m. and to spend 2 p.m. with Odilón. After Barrow meets, he returns to his study to read alone.

Originally to Jérôme. Bonaparte intervened in the cabinet of the bored and slightly apprehensive Odillon. Barrow was completely relieved, and he unhurriedly formed a cabinet to take over the problems left by the previous cabinet and summarize them.

On January 6, 1849, after a half-month formation of the Cabinet, accompanied by the Minister of Justice, Eugène Brown. Ruet with the inauguration of the Minister of Public Works Morny, the Prime Minister of the French Second Republic, Odilón. Barrow finally got his cabinet in place.
