Chapter 549: The Bank of France with a Change of Dynasty

The Comte d'Argoo understood that the full-fledged Emperor no longer needed him, the "old man", to guard the gates of the Banque de France, and he wanted to imprint his will on the treasury of the Banque de France, turning the Banque de France into an instrument at his disposal.

Just like His Majesty Napoleon at the beginning.

After all, no monarch would like his subordinates to go against him, especially if he still has a French lifeline in his hands.

Thinking of this, Count Algu's heart inevitably felt irritated, and now he felt like a female cousin, Jérôme. Bonaparte, the prostitute, agreed to commit himself to him.

Stay until Jérôme. Bonaparte sensed that he was no longer useful, and kicked him away.

Of course, this was only what Count Argu had in mind when he was angry.

As long as he calms down and thinks about it carefully, he will understand that his economic philosophy is destined to be contrary to the emperor's economic philosophy.

Forcibly remaining at the Banque de France as president would only exacerbate the conflict between the two sides, and the best outcome would be for one of the parties to change their economic mindset or leave.

And the emperor's character and vision doomed him to never retreat, and the only one who could retreat could be Count Argo.

If it weren't for the previous Count of Argoo's contribution to the Empire, Jérôme. Bonaparte would not privately invite Count Argou to meet at the Elysée Palace, hoping that the dialogue would persuade him to continue to support his idea, but directly opened the Imperial Council and dismissed Count Argoo from his position in public.

However, Count Algour was always unwilling to change his economic philosophy, and even concocted "shock therapy".

Until just now, Jérôme. Bonaparte made up his mind to leave the position of president of the Banque de France.

"Your Majesty, I will submit a resignation to you tomorrow!" The Count of Arghu coldly addressed Jérôme. Bonaparte replied.

"Mr. Argu, why is this!" Jérôme. Bonaparte said to the Count of Argou with a false wry: "I just lamented the passage of time, you have misunderstood me!" ”

"Your Majesty, as you just said. Time passed, and in the blink of an eye I was almost 80! So allow me to resign as president of the French side! The emotional Count of Argou could only endure his nausea and accompany Jérôme. Bonaparte continued to perform.

"Alright then!" Jérôme. Bonaparte seemed to regret the resignation of the Count of Argoo, and he sighed and said to the Count of Argoo: "Since you intend to leave, then I will not force you!" ”

Subsequently, Jérôme. Bonaparte also told the Comte d'Argourne that he would leave a place for him in the Senate after he resigned as president of the Banque de France.

The Count of Argyu only had to punch in at the regular voting meeting of the Senate.

Count Argu knew that the Emperor's purpose was to avoid giving the impression of being mean and unkind to the outside world.

Although the power of the Senate was far inferior to that of the Banque de France, it at least represented the attitude of the emperor.

In order to shield his political resources with the next generation, Count Argourne promised Jérôme. Bonaparte's proposal.

When everything is settled, Jérôme. Bonaparte invited the Count of Argou to dinner.

The Count of Argour could only accept Jérôme. Bonaparte's invitation, as it might be his last dinner with the emperor.

"Let's go!" Jérôme. Bonaparte said a word to Count Argoo.

Count Argour got up and followed Jérôme. Bonaparte left and walked out of the room where he had met the Emperor for the first time.

Standing at the door of the room, Mocal, the head of the royal family, saw the expressionless Emperor and the pale, hobbled Count Algu following behind him, and immediately realized that this powerful Earl had probably become an outcast outside his power.

While Morar was stunned, Jérôme. Bonaparte's voice reached his ears: "Mocal, Monsieur Algus has not been in good spirits lately! You go over and give it a hand! ”

"Yes! Your Majesty! Mocal hurriedly responded, and then walked quickly to Count Algoo, bowed slightly, and supported Count Algoo.

"Thank you!" Count Argu replied to Mocal in a low voice.

Now he has lost the pride he had when he was at the helm of the Banque de France, but rather like a helpless old man.

"Nothing! Mr. Earl! Mocal replied to Count Algu with a standard smile on his face.

Assisted by Mocal, the Count of Argour walked to the gates of the Élysée Palace.

Looking at the sky in the distance, where only afterglow remained, Count Argu's heart was even more uncomfortable.

"Get in the car!"

Jérôme. Bonaparte's voice came from the carriage, and with the help of Mocal, the Count of Argou got into Jérôme. Bonaparte's carriage.

The carriage carried Jérôme. Bonaparte and the Comte d'Argourse departed from the Élysée Palace and arrived at the Tuileries via the Champs-Élysées.

Jérôme walking down from the carriage. Bonaparte and the Count of Argou entered the Tuileries Palace and went straight to the restaurant.

Taylor, who is the head chef of the royal palace, appears in Jérôme. Bonaparte asked him if he could serve the food.

"Yes!" Jérôme. Bonaparte nodded in response to Taylor.

Dishes from all over Europe were served on trays by the servants of the Tuileries, and they were greeted with pleasure by looking at the mouth-watering dishes in front of them. Bonaparte suddenly felt like he could eat and wipe them out completely.

And the Count of Argou apparently did not have Jérôme. Bonaparte's appetite, for him, who had lost the president of the Banque de France, no delicacies could restore his mood at this time.

Thus throughout the feast, the Count of Arghu did not eat anything at all, except for a little aperitif and a vegetable salad.

After dinner, Jérôme. Bonaparte ordered Mocal to personally send the Count of Argou home.

Escorted by Moral, the Comte de Argour managed to return to his mansion in Paris.

Mocal, who had successfully returned the Count of Argou to the mansion, took advantage of the night to return to the Tuileries Palace in a carriage.

……

Early the next morning.

The man who claimed to be the butler of the Count of Argoo arrived in a carriage to the Tuileries Palace and handed the letter of resignation of the Count of Argou into the hands of Mocal, the head of the royal family.

Mocal, who received the letter of resignation, immediately handed it over to Jérôme in the study. Bonaparte.

Jérôme unwrapping the envelope. Bonaparte carefully looked through the contents of the resignation letter.

In his letter, the Comte d'Argaux explained that he had resigned because he was too old to run the Banque de France, so he begged the Emperor to approve his resignation so that he could retire in his old age.

Jérôme after reading the resignation letter. Bonaparte signed his name under the letter of resignation, and then summoned Mocal to him, and told him that he was going to urgently hold a royal council to discuss the new president of the Banque de France, and ordered him to go and invite the members of the royal council, and the time was set at three o'clock in the afternoon.

"Yes!"

Receiving the order, Mocal left the study and stayed alone in the study. Bonaparte pondered over the right person for the newcomer, the president of France.

……

Time was in a hurry, and in the blink of an eye, it was almost time for the Imperial Council to begin.

At this time, in the royal hall of the Tuileries Palace, representatives of the military, government and bankers, representing the three pillars of the empire, gathered together to wait for Jérôme. The arrival of Emperor Bonaparte.

When the floor clock placed in the hall pointed to three o'clock, the side door of the palace hall slowly opened. Bonaparte entered the halls of the Palais Royal.

"Your Majesty!"

Everyone present saluted and greeted the emperor in front of them.

Jérôme. Bonaparte nodded, walked to the center of the hall, stepped up the steps and sat down on the chair that symbolized the supreme power of the empire.

Sitting on a throne overlooking Jérôme, the pillars of the empire under the steps. Bonaparte felt that his whole body was filled with strength, and this was what power made him feel.

After a moment of intoxication, Jérôme. Bonaparte opened his mouth and said, "Everyone! Just in the morning, I received a letter of resignation! The owner of the letter told me that because of his old age, he had no energy to manage the bank! ”

As soon as these words came out, everyone present immediately realized that the person who resigned should be the Count of Argo, who was vacant in the Imperial Council.

Several bankers in the banker's camp who were friends with Count Argoo also realized that Count Algou was likely to be "resigned", and their expressions changed slightly.

And the shareholders of the Banque de France, who had been at odds with the Comte de Argoo, and those who wanted to seek the position of president of the Banque de France, smiled with joy on their lips.

"Your Majesty, is that man you are talking about Mr. Algu?" Chancellor of the Exchequer Manie asked Jérôme on behalf of those present. Bonaparte said.

"That's right! Mr. Algour, indeed! "Jérôme. Bonaparte nodded and Mane replied, then turned his gaze to Manie and said regretfully: "Since Monsieur Argou insists on resigning, then I have no choice but to agree to his request." There is a vacancy in the position of president of the Banque de France, and it is your responsibility as Chancellor of the Exchequer to nominate a new one! ”

In addition to the election of shareholders within the bank, another method for the president of the Banque de France is the appointment of the Chancellor of the Exchequer.

Of course, the appointment of the Chancellor of the Exchequer is also not arbitrary, and the person appointed to the position of president of the Banque de France must have the status of a shareholder of the Banque de France, and must also be recognized by the shareholders of the Banque de France.

If either of these two conditions is not met, then the president of France appointed by the chancellor of the exchequer is an empty shelf.

And Jérôme. Bonaparte asked about the presidency of the Banque de France in order to show the Banque de France that he was dissatisfied with the conservative economic policies now being pursued by the Banque de France.

Jérôme. Mane, who asked Bonaparte, was stunned for a few seconds, and then responded: "Your Majesty, I propose that Jels. Lebesgue. Morality. Count Bémini takes the post of president of the bank! ”
