Chapter 210: Prince Marshal
"Think about it...... I need someone who can do it on my own......"
Jérôme. Bonaparte's candid look and words gave some comfort to Pesini's anxious heart, and he did not know that Jérôme. How much honesty was in Bonaparte's words, and he did not dare to speculate with his own mind about the mind of a monarch who had been transformed.
The only thing Pesini is certain of is that the president probably needs him, and the transfer is likely to be for the balance of power.
If the president really doesn't need him, he can just kick him out of Paris.
"Your Majesty, I will give you an answer in the near future!" Pesini humbly addressed Jérôme. Bonaparte responded.
It is impossible for Pesini to disobey the president, he can only delay as much time as possible, so that the delay is not destined to last long.
"Hmm!" Jérôme. Bonaparte smiled and nodded in understanding, not knowing what kind of fruit his whim would bear.
When he promised the post of head of the secretary of the Papal States to the post of head of the Secretarial Office, he did not consider that the secretary's office could become a behemoth in less than a year.
Jérôme. Bonaparte was a little worried that too much power would inflate Pessini, and he had to adjust the functions of the subordinates of the secretary's office, and promote some departments that were somewhat subordinate to the secretary's office, so as to prevent the secretary's office from having the risk of not being able to get rid of it.
However, in order to break up the secretary's room, Pesini had to be dropped. It was then that Bonaparte thought of the post of Minister of Public Works.
In terms of position, the post of Minister of Public Works is higher than that of the President's "adviser".
A disguised promotion will reduce the impact of the splitting of the secretarial office.
"Go ahead!" Jérôme. Bonaparte said to Pessini.
"Yes!" Pessini turned away from Jérôme. Bonaparte's study.
"Wait!" Just as Pesini was about to leave his study, Jérôme. Bonaparte stopped Pessini.
"Your Majesty!" Pessini turned to ask Jérôme. What else did Bonaparte command.
"Forget it!" Jérôme Bonaparte murmured softly.
I knew he shouldn't have agreed so much!
After a long hesitation, Jérôme. Bonaparte uttered an inexplicable word to Pessini: "You ask Minister Regino!" Is there a suitable candidate for the promotion of marshal this year! ”
"Yes!"
Pesini left Jérôme. Bonaparte's study went to the Ministry of War and handed over the promotion documents to the Minister of War, Reinho, and Pesini sent Jérôme. Bonaparte told Minister Regnio what he had instructed him: "Your Excellency, the President has asked me to come and inquire if there is a candidate for the promotion of marshal in the Army. ”
Pessini's question made Minister Regnio stunned for a while, and after a long time of reacting, he subconsciously asked: "Mr. Pessini, is the president ready to canonize the marshal?" ”
"I don't know! The president probably thinks about how things are going......" Pessini responded in an official tone.
"At present, there are no candidates ......for promotion in the Army," Minister Regino said to Persini, who suddenly had a flash of inspiration and seemed to think of something, and quickly added: "However, there is a suitable candidate among the non-Army incumbents!" ”
"Who?" Percini seemed to have a person in mind, but he wasn't sure if the person he was thinking of was the same person Regnio didn't want to think of.
"Prince Montfort!" Minister Regnio said the "suitable" candidate, and then explained thoughtfully: "I am not a sycophant of the president, and Prince Monfort is indeed the most suitable candidate for promotion to marshal." He was the younger brother of the Great Emperor, who had fought with him, and there was no better fit to be a marshal than Prince Montfort! ”
Although Minister Regnio has repeatedly emphasized that he is not a sycophant, from his example, Minister Regnio is indeed a sycophant to the president.
None of the generals who lived through that period did not know the black history of Prince Montfort, he had never commanded a single battle, and the reason why he was nominated by Minister Regnio was that he was the younger brother of the Emperor and the father of the President, otherwise the Marshal's Scepter would not be obtained by a deserter like Prince Montfort even if it was obtained by a dog.
Of course, with the passing of the older generation, there are not many young generals of the new generation until the black history of Prince Montfort.
The words of Prince Jérôme the Elder becoming Field Marshal helped the army to identify with them.
"That's what I thought too!" Pessini nodded and said to Minister Regino: "Then Minister Regino, can you please draw up a separate list of marshals to be promoted!" ”
"Absolutely!" Minister Regnio did not hesitate to respond.
The list of marshals to be promoted was quickly drawn up in the hands of Minister Reinho, and the marshal was promoted only by the old Prince Jérôme, and the reason for the promotion was written in the column "once fought for France"!
Minister Regnio handed over the list of marshals to Pessini, who took the list and put it away before bidding farewell to the War Department.
Returning from the War Department to the Élysée Palace, Pessini was about to go to the study on the second floor to tell Jérôme. When Marshal Bonaparte was promoted, he stopped at the staircase.
"Sir, you can't enter just yet!" Waldley shook his head and whispered a reminder to Persini.
"Wardley, could you please tell me if someone came into the room after I left?" Pesini stopped and asked Wadre.
"After you are gone, sir! His Excellency the President's father, Prince Monfort, is here! Waldre explained to Persini.
"Your Excellency?" Pessini replied with a frown.
"That's right!" Wadley nodded in response.
"Then I'd better wait here for a while!" Pesini smiled and said to Wardley, then took out a ruby and handed it to Wardley: "Thank you for providing me with this information!" ”
Waldley looked at Persini with a look of astonishment, he didn't understand why Persini had given him this gem, even if he didn't tell him about it.
After all, Pesini was the president's most trusted person, and Waldley hurriedly excused himself and said, "Sir, you don't have to! It's not a big deal! ”
"It may not be important now, but it doesn't mean that it won't be important in the future, take it!" Pessini uttered something that sounded inexplicable to Waldre.
When Pesini was at the president's side, he really didn't need to give gifts to his colleagues.
When he left the Élysée Palace, his colleagues at the Élysée Palace became the most important source of information for Pessini, and he had to maintain this line, otherwise he would risk losing trust in front of the president because of something
Since Pesini repeatedly asked Wardrey to accept it, Wardley was embarrassed to refuse, and he accepted the gift that Persini gave him, and at the same time became more respectful to Persini.
Of course, he didn't know that Pesini was about to be transferred.
Except for Jérôme. No third party, other than Bonaparte and Pessini himself, knew of this information.
While Percini and Waldre were waiting for the study on the second floor to open again, Jérôme in the study. Bonaparte was in a quarrel with his cheap father, Prince of Montur the Elder, Jérôme.
"When are you going to let Parson come over!" Sit in Jérôme. Old Jérôme on the other side of Bonaparte asked.
Jérôme. Bonaparte replied indifferently: "As long as the affairs of America are in order, my half-brother and nephew will be able to come!" Father, in the final analysis, it was just that you made your own mess back then, why should my sister and I bear it! ”
Jérôme. Bonaparte's merciless words put old Jérôme in an awkward position, knowing that his son and grandson would not be treated by Jérôme. Bonaparte and Mathilde loved it, but it was also his own flesh and blood.
The elder Jérôme, who was already in his sixtieth year, couldn't bear to see his son and grandson adrift, and he wanted the whole family to live with him.
"You promised me!" The elder Prince Jérôme could not help but reveal a pleading look in his words, and he knew that he could only turn to his president's son for help: "My son, for the sake of me who is about to be buried in the earth......
Old Jérôme's plea made Jérôme. Bonaparte shook his head, and his tone was similarly kinder: "Father, I understand your current mood! I assure you that as soon as things are in place in the United States, they can come back! ”
"That's great!" Old Prince Jerome smiled.
"But ......" Jérôme. Bonaparte's words changed and became stern again: "They can't join the Bonaparte family, this is my last condition!" ”
"My child, that's your brother and nephew!" Old Jérôme still hoped that they would join the Bonaparte family.
"This is my bottom line for my sister and me!" Jérôme. Bonaparte put on an unsympathetic expression, and he was resolutely opposed to his half-brother joining the Bonaparte family.
"Okay!" Can't beat Jérôme. The old Prince of Bonaparte had no choice but to agree: "But give them some compensation!" ”
"Don't worry! If they do show their talents, I will give them the title of duke! "Jérôme. Bonaparte said to old Jérôme.
"That's fine!"
Despite the fact that the old Prince Jérôme was in his heart for Jérôme. Patterson was guilty of not being able to join the Bonaparte family, but he also knew that it was undoubtedly the best thing to do.
If it is said that Jérôme. Patterson joins the Bonaparte family, then the leader of the Bonaparte family will have a big problem.
"Father! If nothing happens, I'm going to go out for a walk! "Jérôme. Bonaparte ordered the old Prince Jérôme to expel his guests, fearing that his cheap father would propose something that would be difficult for him to do.
"By the way, the marshal's business ......," asked old Jérôme hastily.
Jérôme. Bonaparte glanced at the old Prince Jerome and replied angrily: "I have asked Pessini to go to the Ministry of War to ask if there is a suitable candidate!" ”
