Cavour, who was called by Princess Mathil, was stunned for a moment, and then immediately realized that Princess Mathilde must have something to talk to him about when she called him out alone!

Could it be that there is news from His Majesty's side? Cavour thought to himself.

"Mr. Cavour! Mr. Cavour! When Princess Mathilde's voice reached Cavour's ears, Cavour, who came to his senses, apologized to the gentlemen sitting around him, and then left the room with Princess Mathilde.

When Cavour and Princess Mathilde reached the hallway, Mathilde pointed to the maid beside her and said to Cavour, "Monsieur Cavour, she will take you to my brother." (Princess Mathilde did not like to call Jérôme.) Bonaparte as emperor, Jérôme. Bonaparte was also pleased with this. I'm not going to send you! ”

Mathilde paused, and gestured to the room.

"Your Royal Highness, thank you very much for your generous hospitality!" Cavour responded to Princess Mathilde with a hint of humility, and then bowed to the maid beside him, "Then I'm sorry for you!" ”

"Mr. Earl, please follow me!" The maid replied to Cavour.

Led by the maid, Cavour soon reached the door of a room on the first floor.

"Your Majesty, it's inside!" The maid pointed to the room and said to Cavour.

His Majesty actually came here in person!

Cavour for Jérôme. Bonaparte was a little surprised to visit in person, but when he thought of the evaluation of the emperor by the Parisian aristocracy he had come into contact with, the surprise in his heart disappeared without a trace.

"Thank you so much!" Cavour thanked the maid once again, and gave her a little bit of little value (for Cavour himself.) ）

"Your Excellency, this is too valuable!" The maid shook her head and rejected Cavour's gift.

"Ma'am, this thing is worthless!" Cavour emphasized, and then pretended to be wealthy, and continued: "If you think it's too valuable, give it to Princess Mathilde." Once my things are sold, I have absolutely no intention of taking them back! ”

The maid glanced at the gold coin handed over by Cavour, and after hesitating for a few seconds, she finally gave Cavour a gift, and also told Cavour "intimately", Jérôme. Bonaparte's mood at the moment.

After hearing the maid's answer, Cavour was even more sure that he could do great things with a small amount of money.

Sometimes, it only takes a small favor to get news that you can't find out for a lot of money.

After parting with the maid, Cavour knocked softly on the door.

"The door is unlocked, come in!" Jérôme. Bonaparte's voice came from inside the room.

Cavour hurried into the room, and at this time the room was in Jérôme. Bonaparte was sitting on the couch sipping freshly brewed green tea.

The arrival of Cavour made Jérôme. Bonaparte put down the teacup in his hand and got up to greet him.

"Your Majesty, you sit!" Cavour hurried to Jérôme. Bonaparte responded.

Then Cavour and Jérôme. Bonaparte sat on the sofa and Jérôme. Bonaparte, while making a cup of tea for Cavour, asked Cavour, "Monsieur Cavour, do you know the tea ceremony?" ”

Cavour shook his head, how could he possibly understand the tea ceremony.

"This is a tea tasting method inherited from the ancient empire of the East, and the people who pay attention to it are a word!" Jérôme. Bonaparte placed the brewed tea in front of Cavour: "Before tasting tea, the tea is strained first...... Don't get too impatient...... When tasting tea, you should also savor it carefully, and don't drink it in one gulp! Not only will you get burned, but you will not be able to taste the unique flavor of the tea leaves. ”

Jérôme. Bonaparte picked up the teacup made of purple sand in his hand again, took a sip gently, and then closed his eyes and felt it quietly.

Sit in Jérôme. Bonaparte's Cavour also imitated Jérôme. Bonaparte tasted tea in a gesture, but he did not feel Jérôme. The unique charm that Bonaparte said.

"Look! I tell you not to be in a hurry, not to be in a hurry! Why are you in such a hurry? Is time so precious to you? "Jérôme. Bonaparte said with a pun to Cavour.

Prime Minister Cavour, who was at the top of his political wisdom, immediately understood Jérôme. Bonaparte meant that he hurried to Jérôme. Bonaparte apologized: "Your Majesty, it is true that I am too anxious! Can you let me taste a product! ”

Jérôme. Bonaparte made a "teachable" expression and poured a cup of tea for Cavour once more.

This time, Cavour finally tasted the unique charm of this cup of tea, which contains sourness and helplessness, and these two feelings are only cleared by Cavour as the person concerned.

"Do you feel it?" Jérôme. Bonaparte's voice reached Cavour's ears.

Cavour nodded to Jérôme. Bonaparte responded: "I feel it! ”

"Mr. Cavour, you have already understood the tea ceremony!" Jérôme. Bonaparte seemed to applaud Cavour's quick grasp of the "tea ceremony."

"Your Majesty, I have a question for you!" Cavour treated Jérôme deferentially. Bonaparte said.

"Ask! You can ask! There's nothing you can't ask! "Jérôme. Bonaparte replied to Cavour.

"Your Majesty, I want to ask how long does this pot of tea need to be brewed before it can be tasted?" Cavour vs. Jérôme. Bonaparte said.

Jérôme. Bonaparte's smile gradually retracted, and his expression became serious.

Look at Jérôme. Bonaparte's rapidly changing expression made Cavour's heart uneasy.

"It can be as little as 3 or 4 years, as much as 6 or 7 years, or even more than 10 years!" Jérôme. Bonaparte said slowly: "After all, the time has not yet come!" (The problem of the Apennine Peninsula is not yet ripe!) Rashly increasing the heat will only cause the whole pot of tea to become a waste tea completely! (Rashly stirring up contradictions on the Yaping Peninsula would only undermine the relative peace maintained during the Crimean War.) ）”

"However, I have heard that there is a ...... between you and the Austrian Empire," Cavour could not help but say to Jérôme. Bonaparte said.

"Mr. Cavour, it seems that the consent of the Kingdom of Sardinia is not necessary for the Empire to be hostile or at peace with the Austrian Empire!" Jérôme. Bonaparte snorted coldly and asked Cavour: "All countries in the world (countries recognized by France) enjoy independent sovereignty and diplomacy, and no country is allowed to interfere!" ”

"Your Majesty, that's not what I meant!" Cavour's face changed slightly, and he hurried to Jérôme. Bonaparte pleaded: "I understand that the diplomatic relations between the French Empire and the Austrian Empire were for the purpose of war......"

Cavour for Jérôme. Bonaparte's practice of saying that Jérôme. Bonaparte was satisfied.

It's just that poor Cavour would not have imagined that the unification of Italy by the Kingdom of Sardinia would only exist in his sweet dreams.

After all, in Jérôme. In Bonaparte's play, Sardinia existed only as a nail in the coffin to deter the Papal States and the Austrian Empire, and he did not want the nail to get into his hand.

From time to time, the Austrian Empire was used to intimidate Sardinian diplomacy, which gave them a sense of tension that was the only way they could cling to the French Empire.

"I can understand your desire to free the Apennine Peninsula from the control of the Austrian Empire, and to achieve a reunification similar to that of the German Confederation!" Jérôme. Bonaparte relieved Cavour.

"That's right!" The inner desire to establish a kingdom dominated by Sardinia, Cavour surfaced with Jérôme. Bonaparte said: "Our Italian nation has been divided for many years, and many people want to be able to create a state with a confederation system!" ”

"Just now, I also talked to Prince Albert about the Apennines!" Jérôme. Bonaparte went on to Cavour: "Although Prince Albert shares my desire to establish an Italian confederation on the model of the German Confederation, he also thinks that, in its present form, we can only maintain some relations with the Austrian Empire.

So some of the problems of the Apennine Peninsula can only be left for consideration after the end of the war!

Rest assured, however, we will not remember your contribution to this war.

If you have time tonight, I'd like to invite you to the Louvre for a ball! ”

"Of course!" Cavour nodded, and hurried to Jérôme. Bonaparte responded.

"Excellent! Mr. Cavour, now it seems that the two of us have reached a consensus! "Jérôme. Bonaparte smiled again and replied to Cavour.

"Your Majesty, I'm sorry to bother you to meet you in person because of this little problem!" Cavour once again sent a message to Jérôme. Bonaparte apologized, "I hope I don't disturb your mood because of my arrival!" ”

"Nothing!" Jérôme. Bonaparte shook his head, "Actually, I still like to have an open and honest chat with people like you. Joseph's chat made me feel like I was chatting with a monarch who lived in the 18th century. ”

"Your Majesty, this is the Habsburg style!" Cavour seized the opportunity to denigrate the Habsburgs: "Old and decaying! ”

"That's right!" Jérôme. Bonaparte laughed and unified Cavour's opinion.

Cavour then went to Jérôme. Bonaparte said goodbye, Jérôme. Bonaparte also quietly left the mansion of Princess Mathilde.

Jérôme leaving from the Mathilde Mansion. Bonaparte did not return to the Tuileries Palace, but went to the Quai d'Orsay in Tongde. Ruiz meets.

"Go and tell the envoy of the Papal States, and say that Cavour has once again found me and talked to me about the Apennine peninsula! I also agree with Cavour! "Jérôme. Bonaparte v. De. Lyce Road.

"Your Majesty, I'm afraid this will cause panic in the Papal States!" Morality. Ruiz vs. Jérôme. Bonaparte reminded.

"If we don't cause panic among Pius IX, how can Pius IX succumb to us!"
