Jérôme. The establishment of Bonaparte's super-class cabinet dampened the enthusiasm of some members of the Elysée Palace, but it also gave some "social democrats" endless reverie.

Many "republican" parliamentarians were suspicious of Jérôme. Did Bonaparte try to use his position as prime minister to win over a section of the republican faction so that his constitutional amendment plan could go unimpeded?

In the hearts of the vast majority of Republican parliamentarians, Jérôme. The name Bonaparte has been equated with the "power stick", he is a guy who will not hesitate to use any means for power.

Some of the members of the Mountain faction (e.g. Victor. Hugo) guessed Jérôme. Bonaparte may be using this method to cover his eyes, and he is likely to launch a coup d'état in anger at the failure to change the constitution.

Of course, this argument was opposed by the majority, and the reason for his opposition was Jérôme. Bonaparte still had more than a year to go, and he had every time to continue to seek constitutional consent and then complete the coup d'état within the limits provided for by the constitution.

After all, for Jérôme . Bonaparte, for his part, was too risky for a coup d'état, and his legitimacy came from the Republic.

The rash denial of the republic was not conducive to his rule was popular among the "social democrats".

There is no impermeable wall in the world, for Marcel, who has mastered the entire Parisian gangster power and secret police. This is especially true in the case of Yaruger.

Marcel, who obtained information through a servant who had been planted in the home of a "social democrat" parliamentarian. Yaruger immediately reported the situation to Jérôme. Bonaparte.

Jérôme. Bonaparte heard Marcel. Yaruger's report could not help but laugh out loud at the "stupidity" of the "social democrats".

In order to cater to this idea of the "social democrats", Jérôme. Bonaparte decided to paralyze this group of "social democrats" first.

……

In the early morning of November 6, a sudden rainstorm enveloped the whole of Paris, and a cold snap swept through the whole of Paris with the arrival of the rainstorm.

East end of the Champs-Élysées, Palais des Elysées.

Jérôme. Bonaparte walked out of the Élysée Palace alone, took the umbrella handed to him by Valewski, carefully propped it on top of his head, and walked slowly out of the courtyard outside the Élysée Palace in the company of Valewski.

At this time, the Champs-Écoupés were empty under the rainstorm, only the hazy sound of horses' hooves and the howling wind in the distance, and the dense raindrops crackling on the umbrellas, and the raindrops left a natural curtain along the long bones of the umbrellas.

Going out in the rainstorm is really not a wise choice, Walewski muttered silently.

However, whoever made the president want to go out, he had to follow in Jérôme. Bonaparte went out together.

Valewski and Jérôme. The two Bonapartes set out south along the eastern end of the Champs-Écordelles, and soon came to the banks of the Seine, Jérôme. Bonaparte looked at the distance and felt refreshed, but Valewski, who was standing on the sidelines, had no such nature, and he carefully dodged the puddle and came to Jérôme. Bonaparte's side to Jérôme. Bonaparte asked, "Your Excellency, we should go back!" ”

"Don't be in such a hurry!" Jérôme. Bonaparte smiled and walked under one of the eaves, shook his trousers slightly, and countless droplets of water splashed everywhere.

In the face of sudden rainstorms, despite the fact that Jérôme. Bonaparte held an umbrella, but he could only ensure that his upper body, and as for the lower body, it was all soaked from the knee down to the trouser legs.

I waited under the eaves for about 10 minutes, and the rainstorm became less powerful.

"Let's go!" Jérôme. Bonaparte reopened his umbrella and stepped into the rain.

Walewski could only follow closely behind, followed by Jérôme. Bonaparte headed.

The two walked in the rain for about half an hour. Bonaparte finally stopped in front of a mansion.

"Let's go!" Jérôme. Bonaparte entered the courtyard of the mansion in the midst of Valewski's astonishment.

Stepping on the steps of the mansion to the door, he put away his umbrella and knocked lightly on the door of the mansion.

"Who?" A female voice came from inside the mansion.

"Is Councillor Tocqueville at home, please?" Jérôme. Bonaparte asked in a cordial tone.

A crack opened in the door of the mansion, and a woman with brown hair appeared in the gap.

"Mr. President!" The woman who saw the visitor's appearance clearly showed a surprised expression.

"Madame!" Jérôme. Still smiling, Bonaparte asked Mrs. Tocqueville again: "Is Councillor Tocqueville at home?" ”

"Yes! In! Mrs. Tocqueville nodded her chick peck, and she opened the door wide to Jérôme. Bonaparte issued an invitation: "Mr. President, please come in!" ”

Jérôme. After Bonaparte and Valewski were placed on the sofa in the living room on the first floor by Mrs. Tocqueville, Mrs. Tocqueville apologized to Jérôme. Bonaparte said that her husband did not know Jérôme. Bonaparte is coming, so he is still resting on the second road.

Valley/span: "Can you please get Councilor Tocqueville to come down?" "Jérôme. Bonaparte replied politely to Mrs. Tocqueville.

Mrs. Tocqueville hastened to have the servants bring the pastries and coffee, and then went to the bedroom herself to wake Tocqueville.

Jérôme. After Bonaparte and Valewski had finished enjoying a pastry, Councillor Tocqueville went downstairs.

Looking at Tocqueville's languid expression and red eyes, Jérôme. Bonaparte knew instantly that Tocqueville must have slept all night yesterday.

"Your Excellency, please forgive a sleepless man for neglecting you!" Tocqueville was sitting on the couch yawning at Jérôme. Bonaparte said.

"Huh? It seems that Mr. Tocqueville has a lot of nightlife! "Jérôme. A meaningful smile appeared at the corner of Bonaparte's mouth.

Tocqueville spread his hands and smiled helplessly, not wanting to explain anything.

Jérôme who slightly enlivened up the atmosphere. Bonaparte turned to the point: "Mr. Tocqueville, you must know something about the constitutional amendment a few days ago!" ”

Jérôme. Bonaparte's inquiry swept Tocqueville away from sleepiness and turned to a grim expression: "If you are trying to convince me, President, you don't have to vote in favor of it. ”

"Thank you very much!" Jérôme. Bonaparte smiled at Tocqueville.

"Nothing! I just think that if France is left to the helm by you, France can slowly transition to a truly republican system. God knows, what the next president will be. If we don't make a fuss, we will choose a king to come to power! Councillor Tocqueville waved his hand.

Of course, there was still a word in his heart that he hadn't spoken. That is, he was also afraid of Jérôme. Bonaparte carried out a military coup.

"No one knows a republic better than I do!" Jérôme. Bonaparte replied without modesty.

"But you, President, have failed! You still don't get three-quarters of the votes to amend the Constitution! "Tocqueville regretted his complaint against Jérôme. Bonaparte said.

"That's why I'm looking for you!" Jérôme. Bonaparte took the hot railway.

"Mr. President, I am not capable of convincing my colleagues to support you! They're even more stubborn than I am! "Tocqueville wants to reject Jérôme. Bonaparte.

"Please tell your Republican friends that I had some misunderstandings with them, but I believe they will be resolved over time! Now I need a group of talented republicans in my cabinet to help me govern the country together! "Jérôme. Bonaparte said to Tocqueville.

Tocqueville's heart was filled with an impulse that there was no one in France who did not like to be a cabinet minister or a head of the cabinet.

After a brief impulse, Tocqueville calmed down again: "Mr. President, if you are not mistaken, there is a price to be paid for being your cabinet minister, right?" ”

"I hope that the Republicans will vote in favor of the next constitutional amendment!" Jérôme. Bonaparte said to Tocqueville: "Do not the republicans claim that all power comes from the people? As long as the French people support me, why do we need the consent of the Legislative Assembly? If, on the other hand, the French people do not agree with me to remain in office, then I will not have the slightest nostalgia. It's all up to the people! ”

Jérôme. Bonaparte put on a democratic posture and said to Tocqueville.

Tocqueville was silent for a moment, and then said to Jérôme. Bonaparte responded: "Your Excellency, I can help you try to persuade my colleagues, but I cannot guarantee whether they are really willing to change course. ”

"Mr. Tocqueville, if you're willing to help!" Jérôme. Bonaparte was "overjoyed" and responded to Tocqueville.

After the business was done, the two chatted for a while, and from Tocqueville's mouth, Jérôme . Bona learned that he seemed to be conceiving a book from the end of the Bourbon dynasty.

Jérôme. Bonaparte suddenly remembered Tocqueville's famous book, The Ancien Régime and the Revolution, and he told Tocqueville, half-jokingly, half-seriously, that he would read it when it was finished.

Jérôme. It was eleven o'clock in the morning when Bonaparte and Valewski left the Tocqueville parliament's mansion, and the rain turned into a drizzle.

Jérôme. Bonaparte looked up at the dark clouds in the sky and uttered an inexplicable sentence: "Tomorrow should be sunny!" ”

Valewski looked at Jérôme with a puzzled expression. Bonaparte, he somewhat did not understand Jérôme. Bonaparte meaning.

Is the president talking about the weather, or is he meant?

"Let's go!" Jérôme. Bonaparte said to Valewski.

The two men with umbrellas returned to the Elysée Palace when the rain was a little weaker.

At the same time, a great war was about to be fought in Hesse-Kassel, a few hundred kilometers from Paris, between Prussia and Austria, two of the most powerful countries in the entire German region.
