When the report of the battle on Mount Inkerman reached the command in Sevastopol, the whole command began to rejoice.

In the midst of this jubilation, Jérôme. Bonaparte personally came to the telegraph office set up in Sevastopol, and could not wait to hand over the telegram document written by himself to the telegraph operator: "Quick! Send this telegram to France now! ”

Face Jérôme. At Bonaparte's request, the telegraph operator did not dare to slack off at once and immediately began his work.

After a while, there was a ticking sound at the telegraph office, and after about 40 minutes, the ticking stopped.

The telegraph operator told Jérôme respectfully. Bonaparte, the telegram arrived in Paris about two hours later.

"You're doing a great job!" Jérôme. Bonaparte smiled and nodded, then turned to leave.

……

Paris two hours later.

Since Jerome. After Bonaparte went to Sevastopol, Paris changed from the original loose outside and tight inside to the current state of tight outside and tight inside.

The Imperial bureaucracy led by Rue and the Imperial soldiers led by Niel secretly monitored the movements of the opposition and the troops in the suburbs under the command of Empress Augusta's "Regency Council" (there was no regency council in name, only Empress Augusta's overseer).

The slightest hint of wind and grass will be discovered and arrested by those pervasive spies.

Even members of the Bonaparte family were no exceptions.

From Jérôme. By the time Bonaparte left, several members of the Bonaparte family had been secretly imprisoned, and nearly 100 had been deported.

Empress Augusta, with her iron hand, intimidated the subversive elements lurking in the dark corners of Paris, and for the first time learned that Empress Augusta was not only an angel with compassion, but also a thunderous force.

Therefore those who try in vain to take advantage of Jerome. Bonaparte was no longer in Paris, and the guys who wanted to make big news had to lurk again and wait for the right moment.

Of course, Empress Augusta's reign in Paris was not a one-size-fits-all affair.

In some areas, Empress Augusta gave them a certain amount of space appropriately, and the newspaper industry was clearly a typical example of this.

In Jérôme. During the period of Bonaparte's absence, Empress Augusta slightly loosened the restrictions on the press, allowing them to publish some foreign commentaries on current affairs, as long as they did not attack the imperial government with a straight ball, and at the same time did not severely crack down on newspapers that were good at writing lace news.

Every day the people of Paris can read some lace news about the XX aristocracy in the newspapers, and see the comments of foreign colonels and military enthusiasts on the actions of the coalition forces in Sevastopol.

Under the control of the Regency Council, Paris has been running smoothly.

When the telegram from Sevastopol arrived at the telegraph office of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, the head of the telegraph office immediately forwarded it to the new Minister of Foreign Affairs, Valevsky, who was still in the office of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.

When Valevsky saw the contents of the telegram, his face immediately showed a look of joy, and he got up and patted the head of the telegraph office on the shoulder and said: "You are doing a good job! ”

"That's what I'm supposed to do!" The Commissioner responded with sincere fear.

Subsequently, Valevsky ordered the people of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs to prepare a carriage for him to go to the house of Speaker Björ.

The Ministry of Foreign Affairs quickly prepared a carriage for Valevsky, which set off with Walevsky and soon arrived at the door of Speaker Björ's house.

"Knock knock!"

With three crisp knocks, a voice came from the other end of the door: "Who?" ”

"I'm Valewski! Is Speaker Björjou at home? Valevsky asked softly.

The door slowly opened, and a servant-like man appeared in front of Valevsky with a kerosene lamp, and saluted him respectfully: "Minister Valewski! ”

"Has Speaker Björjou fallen asleep?" Valewski asked, looking at the dark room behind the servant.

"Not yet!" The servant shook his head and said, "The old master is still working in the study!" ”

"Can I bother you to say goodbye!" Valewski asked modestly.

"I'll take you there!" The servant replied to Valevsky.

"Then it's trouble!" Valewski nodded in response to the servant.

Led by the servants, Valevsky arrived at a room on the second floor.

The servant knocked softly on the door, and the voice of Speaker Björth appeared on the other side of the door: "Come in!" ”

The servant extended his hand to invite Valewski into the room, and Walewski pushed open the door and entered.

At this time, Speaker Björ, who was still working with reading glasses, raised his head and glanced at the visitor, stretched out his hand and invited with a smile: "It turns out to be Minister Walewski, please take a seat!" ”

Valewski sat directly across from Speaker Björth, who asked again: "I wonder what Minister Valewski is doing late at night!" ”

"Your Excellency Björ, please look!" Valevsky handed the folded telegram to Björth.

Björth opened the telegram, glanced at the contents of the telegram, and said excitedly: "Good, good! ”

Then, Speaker Björjou paused and continued to ask, "By the way, have you told Her Majesty about this?" ”

Valewski shook his head and said, "Her Majesty the Empress is approaching the delivery date, I don't dare to disturb rashly!" ”

"And what about Princess Mathilde?" Speaker Björth asked again?

"Not yet!" Walewski told Björth that he had come to Björth as soon as he received the telegram.

"Confused!" Speaker Björn reproached Valevsky with hatred: "This kind of thing should be reported to Empress Augusta first!" If Empress Augusta has any problems, she should also report to Princess Mathilde.

Why did you come directly to me, old man! What would he think about it if he met someone who didn't know it! His Majesty the Emperor, who was far away in Sevastopol, found out, what would he think? ”

Walewski, who was carried away by joy, instantly realized his political mistake, and when he received the information, he should report to Her Majesty and the princess as soon as possible, they are the main executors and rulers of the Regency Council, and the political ecological position of Speaker Björ, who is also the "Regency Committee", is just to assist the Regency Committee in handling state affairs.

This is equivalent to Valewski's reporting work, not wanting the first secretary to report to the mayor, but reporting to senior political and legal officials.

"Your Excellency Björ, what should I do now?" Valewski asked Björn in a bit of a panic for a moment.

No one in Parisian high society knew that Valewski was at odds with Princess Mathilde (mainly because Valewski's wife had some problems), and this time he would have been caught by Princess Mathilde's pigtails.

Not only don't you want to do it, but if you don't make a good fuss, you will roll up and leave!

The position of foreign secretary was something he had worked out bit by bit, and he couldn't just lose it.

"What else can I do?" Speaker Björth sighed, "The old man will accompany you to Princess Mathilde's mansion!" ”

"Yes!" Valewski replied gratefully to Björth.

So, Björn and Valewski set off for Princess Mathilde's mansion.

By the time Björn and Valewski arrived at Mathilde Mansion, the hours had crept into the wee hours of the morning.

Björn and Walewski pushed open the half-hidden door and entered the mansion.

"Your Excellency Björ, Your Excellency Valevski!" As soon as they entered the mansion, Björn and Valevski immediately saw the maid who was in charge of Princess Mathilde's daily life, and they hurriedly greeted the maid.

"Her Royal Highness has been waiting for you for a long time!" The maid replied scrupulously.

The princess knows we're coming?

Valewski's face showed a look of horror and fear, and he immediately thought that Princess Mathilde had installed a secret agent in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.

However, this only lasted for a few seconds, and Valewski's inner turmoil disappeared, because this kind of thing is not a big deal.

If you think about it carefully, you can know that His Majesty the Emperor's surveillance of the people of the empire is still so strict, so it is natural that the surveillance of the imperial bureaucrats who hold real power will not be relaxed.

I think his father, Emperor Bonaparte, didn't he also rely on the army and secret police to rule France.

"Then please take us there!" Björn smiled and replied to the maid.

Led by the maid, Björn and Valewski entered the room.

Princess Mathilde was sitting on the couch at this time, and the arrival of Björn and Valevsky caused Princess Mathilde to turn her attention to them.

"Your Highness!" Björn bowed to Mathilde at the same time as Valewski.

Mathilde invites Björth to sit down with Valewski and asks him about the telegram.

"Your Highness!" Valewski hurriedly handed the telegram to Princess Mathilde.

Princess Mathilde only swept the contents of the telegram slightly, and reproached in a proud tone: "Ah! I didn't let him go at the beginning, but he did. More than a month has passed, and more than 50,000 people have only been annihilated! ”

"Your Highness, Your Majesty's ability to achieve such an achievement is already comparable to that of Emperor Napoleon! When Emperor Napoleon first commanded his army, it was nothing more than that! Speaker Björth heard Princess Matilda's praise and disparagement, and he hurriedly praised it.

"Just him?" Princess Matilda continued: "He is far worse than his uncle! (Princess Mathilde pauses, deliberately feigning a nonchalant attitude) However, he can be considered so-so! ”

"Your Royal Highness Princess, I think the empire should publicize it well!" Speaker Björth put forward his own idea: "It is better to bind His Majesty to Sevastopol, so that the citizens of the Reich, when they think of Sevastopol, will immediately remember His Majesty!" ”
