On November 14, 1851, the Keeper of the Seals of the French Third Republic was appointed by the Keeper of the Seals of the French Third Republic. Morni was in Jérôme, the ruler of the French Republic. Bonaparte ordered him to go to the town of Saint-Armand to mourn the dead Marshal Sirte.

Shortly after Morni left Paris, news of Sirte's death bombarded the whole of Paris. In the afternoon of the same day, the whole of Paris learned of the death of Generalissimo Sirte.

In Jérôme. Under the guidance of Bonaparte, some Parisians "spontaneously" went to the Place de la Concorde to pray for the death of Generalissimo Sirte, and white candles were held in the hands of every "voluntary" person who participated in the prayer and lit, and the candles illuminated the entire Place de la Concorde.

At the same time, the bishops of the Paris region were also invited to the main prayer service on the Place de la Concorde. Led by the bishop, the citizens of Paris on the Place de la Concorde sang hymns together.

At 8 p.m., the prayers ended under the auspices of the Archbishop of Paris, and people left the Place de la Concorde.

The Place de la Concorde, which was still lively one moment, was deserted the next.

On November 15th, in Jérôme. Under Bonaparte's note, the Legislative Council of the French Third Republic made an important decision.

In view of his outstanding contributions to France, Sirte was granted the title of Generalissimo to Les Invalides, and his body was to be transported from the town of Saint-Armand to Paris, where he was given a state funeral.

The proposal was voted on by a show of hands by the Legislative Council and passed in full at that time into the "Second House", which was also in Jérôme. It was unanimously adopted at the behest of Bonaparte.

After both chambers have passed the final results, the Senate communicates the final results to the people and to the small town of Saint-Armand.

In order to show respect for the will of the population, Jérôme. Bonaparte also randomly selected 10 people from each district for judging by means of a sample survey.

The vast majority of people believe that although Marshal Sirte has made some mistakes, his merits are not undeniable and should be given a good burial.

The results of the sample survey were also published in the newspapers of Paris, and according to the overwhelming principles of democracy, there was no longer any objection to Jérôme. Bonaparte's decision.

Jérôme. In the name of democracy, Bonaparte told the opposition and military dissidents about his place in the hearts of Parisians.

Some by Jérôme. Bonaparte's military reform condensed in opposition elements at the sight of Jérôme. After Bonaparte's fame, he also gave up his intention to fight head-on.

Some of the generals who had received favors from Soult were also very kind to Jérôme. Bonaparte had a good impression and it can be said that no one in the whole territory of France dared to challenge Jérôme. The authority of Bonaparte.

On 18 November, Morny arrived in the town of Saint-Armand and immediately set about transporting Generalissimo Soirte to Paris.

[PS: The telegram was sent to Bordeaux faster than Morny arrived in Bordeaux.] 】

On 20 November, the body of Marshal Soirte was transported by horse-drawn carriage to the city of Bordeaux, where it left by boat in the eyes of all the citizens of Bordeaux.

On 21 November, the body arrived at the port of Calais under the escort of the French fleet, and the mayor of Calais and the general of the local garrison personally went to the pier to meet the body of Generalissimo Sirte.

On 22 November, the body arrived in Paris on a Paris-Calais transfer.

Take Jerrome. Bonaparte's ministers and generals gathered under the Arc de Triomphe to await the arrival of the body.

The body of Generalissimo Soule arrived near the Arc de Triomphe at ten o'clock in the morning. Bonaparte waved his hand: "Playing music!" ”

The marching band began to play the First Empire marching song, wearing the uniforms of the First Empire hussars and riding on either side of the Arc de Triomphe, with an infantry unit armed with a Migne rifle and dressed in the uniform of a First Empire line private in the middle of each two horses.

The former First Reich seemed to have gradually revived in France, and some of the generals who had participated in the expedition even sobbed quietly.

The carriage containing the body of Generalissimo Soulte was parked under the Arc de Triomphe.

Jérôme. Bonaparte waved again, and a dozen able-bodied soldiers lined up, and they gently lifted the coffin against their shoulders.

The journey from the Arc de Triomphe to Les Invalides will be crossed by them on their shoulders.

"Let's go!" Jérôme. Bonaparte's expression was unusually serious, and he was at the forefront of the procession, dressed in the emperor's imitation and wearing a Napoleonic hat.

Follow in Jérôme. Behind Bonaparte was a team of bishops of Paris, holding Bibles and crosses, singing incessantly chanting prayers.

Behind the bishopric were the generals and ministers, followed by the coffins and soldiers.

From the Arc de Triomphe to the Invalides, it was supposed to take only more than 20 minutes, but this time it took more than 40 minutes, and the citizens of Paris who like to see the excitement will still not let go of this "once-in-a-lifetime" opportunity, the streets on both sides and the windowsill on the second floor are full of people, and everyone takes a look at Jérôme walking in front. Bonaparte, looking at the beautifully carved coffin, could not help but feel sad for the death of Sirte.

Upon arrival at Les Invalides, Jérôme. Bonaparte stopped, as did the group that followed him.

Jérôme. Bonaparte came to the gate of the Invalides, looked at the closed Invalides in front of him, and knocked lightly.

Valley/span "is it! The bishop's solemn voice came from inside the door.

"Marshal of the French Empire, Generalissimo of France, Duke of Dalmatia. Morality. Deeux. Sirte! "Jérôme. Bonaparte also solemnly declared the title of Sirte.

[PS: Funerals in the 19th century were cumbersome, especially during state funerals. The funeral used here is the funeral of Archduke Otto, the last Habsburg crown prince, after his death. It can be said to be a simplified version of the funeral of the nobles. 】

"May the Lord be ......," the bishop said again and again, the closed doors of Les Invalides opened, and the cardinal appeared in Jérôme. Bonaparte made an inviting gesture in front of him.

Jérôme. Bonaparte set out again, following Jérôme with the exception of the line infantry and hussars. The team behind Bonaparte moved at the same time.

The coffin of Marshal Sirte came to the coffin of Emperor Napoleon, and the cardinal once again gave an account of the life of Marshal Sirte, and everyone present prayed.

At the same time, the line infantry outside the gate also raised their guns and fired into the sky, saying their final goodbyes to Generalissimo Sirte.

Standing on the highest steps of Jérôme. Bonaparte looked at his uncle's coffin, which was only one step away from him, and couldn't help but swear in his heart: Wait! I will definitely make the empire great again!

After the prayer, Jérôme. Bonaparte and other government dignitaries left Les Invalides.

On 23 November, a letter from London crossed the English Channel to Jérôme. In the hands of Bonaparte.

The owner of the letter was none other than one of the few remaining generals of the previous era, the Duke of Wellington.

For the Duke of Wellington was able to write to Jérôme. Bonaparte was very surprised.

It stands to reason that the Duke of Wellington is also about to leave, why would he send him a letter.

Jérôme. Bonaparte opened the letterhead with curiosity, which, in addition to his sorrow over the death of Marshal Sirte, wished France to enter into friendly relations with Britain under his rule.

Wellington hopes that the mistakes made by the previous generation will be corrected by the next generation, and that the tragedy will not be repeated!

Looking at the letterhead in front of him, which revealed the first in Britain, Jérôme. Bonaparte shuddered at the corners of his mouth, and then threw the letter into a drawer.

No matter what time it was, Britain could not let go of its lofty face.

Subsequently, Jérôme. Bonaparte also politely wrote to Wellington, in which he thanked the Duke of Wellington for his relationship with Marshal Sirte, and hoped that Wellington would take care of his health, and that the friendship between Britain and France would continue.

The letterhead was sent to the Duke of Wellington through Rothschild's secret channels.

On November 25th, Jérôme, who had been busy for most of the month. Bonaparte finally had a leisure time of his own.

Right here in Jérôme. Bonaparte was preparing for an outing with Eugénie when he disappeared for nearly two months when Valewski suddenly appeared in Jérôme. Bonaparte's face.

With a tired face, he looked at Jérôme in front of him. Bonaparte squeezed out a reluctant smile.

"Your Majesty, on the question of your wedding, I am with you. Minister Ruiz and Princess Mathilde have already been found! "Valevsky vs. Jérôme. Bonaparte said.

"So fast? Who are they? "Jérôme. Bonaparte looked at Valewski in surprise.

"We have communicated and selected these ......," Valevsky told Jérôme. Bonaparte reported that he was the right person for the empress: "Carolina. Born in 1833, Vacha, a former Swedish princess, is now just 18 years old and is currently living under the patronage of the Habsburgs. ”

"18 years old?" Jérôme. The corners of Bonaparte's mouth twitched slightly, if he hadn't reached the legal age of marriage in his previous life: "Isn't the age a little too young!" ”

"It's not small!" Valevsky vs. Jérôme. Bonaparte said.

"Anyone else?" Jérôme. Bonaparte asked again.

"Yes!" Valevsky to Jérôme. Bonaparte again reported the choice of several other queens, one was the niece of Queen Victoria, the daughter of the King of Sardinia, and the other was the daughter of the King of Württemberg, that is, Jérôme. Bonaparte's little cousin.

"The daughter of the Kingdom of Sardinia?" If Jérôme. Bonaparte's memory did not appear to be deranged by the words of the OTL history of himself in the cousin Louis. Napoleon was forced to marry her, but she seemed to be much younger, and he subconsciously asked, "How old is she now!" ”

Walewski said with embarrassment written on his face: "8 years old! ”

"Gan!"
