Chapter 103: The Emperor and the "Emperor"

Face Odilon. Barrow almost commanded Jérôme. Bonaparte's commanding posture, Jérôme. There was not a trace of anger in Bonaparte's heart, but a hint of joy.

Odilon. The struggle between Barrow and the National Assembly was one of Jérôme. A link in Bonaparte's plan. Now the situation is clearly Odilon. Barrow was at a disadvantage, and otherwise, he wouldn't have been in a hurry to ask for his help.

Moreover, even Jérôme. Bonaparte did not have any attitude, and the veteran standing beside him obviously could not bear Barrow's "humiliation" with the emperor's nephew, and the trembling veteran looked at Odilon with fierce eyes. Barrow, the blue flat cap that should have been on his head, was thrown by him on Odillon. At Barrow's feet, he shouted, "Mr. Barrow, it is the Emperor's nephew standing in front of you!" ”

Immediately, the veteran's body straightened slightly, and his expression was solemn. Bonaparte pleaded: "Your Majesty, allow me to engage in a duel with Monsieur Barrow, and I will not allow him to treat you with such an attitude!" ”

It's still an aggressive Odilon who is still in an aggressive posture. Barrow was instantly intimidated by the veteran's sudden duel, so that he didn't know how to respond for a while, so he had to turn his gaze to Jérôme. Bonaparte, hoping that he can help him out.

Looking at the dignified Prime Minister who was forced by a veteran to step down, Jérôme. Bonaparte was eager to applaud this veteran.

Play to play, Jérôme. Bonaparte still helped Odilon. Barrow broke the siege, he bent down and picked up the flat tube hat that the veteran had discarded on the ground, and by the way, he patted the dust on the military hat and handed it to the veteran: "Soldier, I am happy for your loyalty, but the military hat is a symbol of the soldier, and you can't throw it on the ground at will!" ”

"The Bourbon hat is only worthy of me to throw on the ground!" The veteran said in a contemptuous tone, and then changed to a pleading attitude: "Your Royal Highness, since the empire left us, this unfortunate country has gone through two unfortunate dynasties! They are simply trampling on the glory of this country, and only if you re-establish an empire can we get out of the present situation and regain our honor! ”

The veteran's heartfelt plea made Jérôme. Bonaparte once thought that this guy in front of him was not the one Pessini had brought in, and looked at the sincere eyes of the veteran. Bonaparte ruled out this possibility.

Jérôme whose time has not yet come. Bonaparte could only respond vaguely: "Times are changing, and we should not stick to them!" As long as I can serve France, I am satisfied! ”

The veteran's eyes flashed a hint of loneliness, and he recalled the days when he had followed the emperor to fight, and his upright body seemed to have been drained of all his spirit and spirits again.

"Of course! If the citizens of France had supported us as they had done at the beginning, the rebuilding of the empire would not be impossible! "Jérôme. Bonaparte tried to comfort the veteran.

"I believe that the empire will be rebuilt!" The veteran straightened up again, responding in a loud voice.

Stand aside Odilon. Barrow listened to Jérôme. Bonaparte's conversation with the veterans, he did not know whether His Excellency the President really wanted to rebuild the empire or comfort the veterans.

However, none of this had anything to do with him.

Odilon of the July Dynasty who has been in politics for more than ten years. Barrow disagreed, and likewise did not oppose the creation of an empire.

As long as the president can convince others.

However, Barrow is sure that the chances of Mr. President convincing others to agree to the creation of an empire are almost zero.

"Your Highness, let me show you around His Majesty the Emperor's office!" The veteran warmly greeted Jérôme. Bonaparte said.

"Mr. Prime Minister, why don't we talk about it after the tour, we have a lot of time anyway." Jérôme. Bonaparte to Odilon. Barrow proposed.

Can't beat Jérôme. Bonaparte's Odillon. Barrow follows Jérôme. Bonaparte went with him to the office of the chief consul.

A glass chandelier hangs from the ceiling of the office, and directly below the chandelier is a walnut desk with a pen holder made of nanmu and a book with a yellowed skin, and a few goose feather fountain pens inserted into the pen holder.

On the opposite side of the desk is a bookshelf made of wheeled mahogany, which is close to the wall, and the bookshelf is also full of books.

The whole office looks spotless and looks like new.

"Looks like you're cleaning this place a lot." Jérôme. Bonaparte said to the veteran.

"That's right! The emperor's office, I personally clean it regularly! The veteran stared at the desk with reverent gaze and said with a hint of fervor in his tone.

"Hmmm! Great work! "Jérôme. Bonaparte nodded, and walked to the desk in three steps and two steps.

The book on the desk was none other than the Gallic Wars, which was one of Emperor Napoleon's favorite books to read.

"Everything is in accordance with Her Majesty's wishes of Queen Josephine! Her Majesty the Empress said back then, to be like ......", the veteran's voice was a little choked: "To be like when His Majesty the Emperor was here, His Majesty the Emperor has promised, he will come back sooner or later!" ”

Jérôme. Bonaparte was silent for a long time, and he said with a smile: "The emperor did not come, the emperor's nephew came!" ”

Saying, Jérôme. Bonaparte sat in the chair that his uncle Napoleon had made.

"It's good to be here! It's good to be here! The veteran muttered, his face full of relief.

"Ahem...... cough "Jérôme sitting in a chair. Bonaparte cleared his throat and glanced at Pesini.

Received Jérôme. Pesini, who signaled Bonaparte, led the old man out of the office and thoughtfully closed the office door.

"Do it! Mr. Prime Minister! "Jérôme. Bonaparte held out his hand and gestured to Odilon. Barrow sat down.

Perhaps because of psychological suggestion, Odillon. Barrow seemed to have "seen" the emperor again, and he should have put on a competitive posture with Jérôme. Bonaparte's deliberations led to a sense of "inferiority."

Sit in Jérôme. Odilon opposite Bonaparte. Barrow clenched his hands into fists and slumped on his thighs, waiting for Jérôme. Bonaparte's posture of instruction.

"That's it! Mr. Barrow, let's talk about your request! "Jérôme. Bonaparte pressed his body against the back of his chair, his head slightly raised, and his hands folded on his right leg.

"Mr. President, I think we should act! Teach those guys a lesson! They have seriously interfered with the established policy after the Cabinet! "Odillon. Barrow's tone lived up to his aggressive posture and turned to a pleading one.

"We? Do you mean you and me, or do you mean the party of order and me! "Jérôme. Bonaparte said lazily.

"Of course it is......" Barrow paused.
