Chapter 741: The Holy Father in Distress
After visiting the French array and artillery array, Pius IX was killed by Jérôme in the midst of the confusion. Bonaparte pulled back into the carriage.
"Holy Father, what do you think of the behavior of those soldiers under my command?" Jérôme in the carriage. With an undisguised smug expression on his face, Bonaparte asked Pius IX beside him.
"Mighty Division!" Pius IX, who had not yet recovered, said dryly.
"How does it compare to my uncle's army?" Jérôme. Bonaparte asked Pius IX again, curious about how far he was from his unmasked uncle.
"Your Majesty, I'm afraid this is difficult to compare!" Pius IX tactfully addressed Jérôme. Bonaparte said.
"I see!" Jérôme. Bonaparte had a look of loss on his face.
Subsequently, Jérôme. Bonaparte and Pius IX drove west, soon arriving at the Tuileries Palace.
"Holy Father, let's get out of the car!" Jérôme. Bonaparte opened the door and helped Pius IX down, and then accompanied Pius IX into the hall of the Tuileries Palace.
By this time, the hall of the Tuileries Palace was already full of guests, and under the gaze of everyone, Jérôme. Bonaparte and Pius IX appeared before them.
Guests flocked to Pius IX and Jérôme. Bonaparte greetings, Jérôme. Bonaparte and Pius IX also responded to the crowd one by one.
Immediately afterwards, Jérôme. Bonaparte opened his mouth and said to all the people present: "It is my honour to be able to invite the Pope of the Papal States to arrive at the Tuileries Palace under the crown of the Holy Father (all monarchs call Pius IX) Pius IX, to pay tribute to my son Friedrich. Bonaparte baptizes!
France and the Holy See have been two countries that have been friends for generations, and we have supported and assisted each other for a long time......"
When the guests present heard this, their faces showed expressions that they wanted to laugh but did not dare to laugh, and Pius IX's face also showed a touch of embarrassment.
Who doesn't know about the bullshit between France and the Holy See.
The Avignon Palace is a palace specially set up for the Pope by France, the "great filial son" of France.
Many popes have lived in the Palais d'Avignon, the most recent of whom is Pius VII.
“…… Decades ago, my uncle invited Pius VII to visit Paris, and it was at that time that the French Empire became inextricably linked to the Holy See.
Decades later, His Majesty Pius IX was invited by me to visit Paris.
…… I am sure that the relationship between the Holy See and the French Empire will become even closer because of this exchange! ”
Jérôme. At the end of Bonaparte's tirade, all but himself had a look on their faces, and the most difficult of them was Pius IX himself.
He even had some suspicions that Jérôme. Whether Bonaparte called him over to baptize his child or whether he had specifically called him over to insult him.
"Holy Father, I don't know if you have anything to say!" Jérôme. Bonaparte asked Pius IX with respect for the old and the young.
Pius IX was silent for a long time before he spoke: "I hope that this visit will promote more in-depth exchanges between the French Empire and the Holy See!" ”
As soon as Pius IX finished speaking, Empress Augusta hugged Friedrich. Bonaparte appeared before Pius IX.
"Holy Father!" Empress Augusta, holding Friedrich, bowed Pius IX with a reverent face.
Looking at the attitude of the queen in front of him, who had been deeply influenced by the church since childhood, Pius IX's heart finally felt better.
Although the Church could not influence Jérôme, who was "fatherless and fatherless". Bonaparte, but as long as the Church could get Empress Augusta and the future Crown Prince Friedrich to lean towards them.
"Your Majesty!" Pius IX also returned the favor to Empress Augusta.
"Holy Father, this is Friedrich!" Empress Augusta carried Friedrich to Pius IX.
Pius IX gently took his godson with his hand, and Friedrich, who was held in Pius IX's arms, babbled, a pair of chubby smiling faces showing a smile of joy.
"My child, you live in a distinguished family! Your father is the monarch of the whole of France, everything in France is under his control, and your mother is the most beautiful, pretty, pious queen in the world! From birth, you are destined to receive the Lord's grace and attention! Pius IX said to Friedrich in a characteristic solemn tone, and his colleague did not forget to praise Jérôme in passing. Bonaparte and Empress Augusta, "...... God's love will be poured out on you and God's grace will be poured out to you like a tidal wave. ”
After Pius IX finished speaking, he sent Friedrich . Bonaparte was given back to Empress Augusta.
"Thank you, Holy Father!" Empress Augusta once again offered a gift to Pius IX.
Immediately, in Jérôme. Received by Bonaparte himself, Pope Pius IX was placed in a room.
After settling Pius IX, Jérôme. Bonaparte invited the remaining guests to the restaurant for lunch.
The whole lunch lasted almost two hours, and Jérôme was full of food and drink. Bonaparte watched the guests leave.
Wait until it's all over, Jérôme. Bonaparte returned to Augusta's room.
At this time, Empress Augusta was breastfeeding Friedrich. Augusta's appearance was startled by Bonaparte's appearance, and she whispered blame Jérôme. Why didn't Bonaparte knock on the door before he came in.
Jérôme. Bonaparte rightly said to Empress Augusta, "This is my room, why should I knock!" ”
Empress Augusta shook her head and smiled, and Jérôme, who sat next to Empress Augusta. Bonaparte mischievously put his hand on Friedrich's face, gently pinched Friedrich's tender little face, and "blamed" a sentence: "You kid is much happier than when I was a child!" ”
Jérôme. Bonaparte's face pinched Friedrich "babbling" as if in protest against Jérôme. Bonaparte's "atrocities".
Empress Augusta whitened Jerome. Bonaparte glanced at him, then slapped Jérôme with his hand. Bonaparte said behind his hand: "How old are you!" ”
"Hey, hey!" Jérôme. Bonaparte clasped his hands back and smirked twice at Empress Augusta.
"By the way, the speech you just gave in the hall was not intended to target the Holy Father!!" Empress Augusta addressed Jérôme in a reproachful tone. Bonaparte said.
"How is that possible! Pius IX is the person I respect the most! "Jérôme. Bonaparte shook his head and replied to Empress Augusta.
"Humph!" Empress Augusta snorted softly, she didn't believe Jérôme. Bonaparte's nonsense.
"Okay!" Jérôme. Bonaparte shrugged his shoulders and replied helplessly to Empress Augusta: "I confess, I do have some opinions about that old fellow of Pius IX!" ”
"Hmmm! I remember this was the first time you met! Empress Augusta looked at Jérôme curiously. Bonaparte said.
"That was before I became president...... Jérôme. Bonaparte told Empress Augusta about what he had done before he became president and went to Pius IX.
At the beginning, he worked hard to get the support of Pope Pius IX, but now in 30 years in Hedong and 30 years in Hexi, he has no choice but to "entertain" Pius IX.
Listened to Jérôme. Bonaparte was like a villain, and Empress Augusta really didn't know what to say.
"Don't worry! Pius IX, that bad old man, is not an unreasonable person! "Jérôme. Bonaparte confidently replied to Empress Augusta: "Even if I insult him now as my uncle insulted Pius VII, he will have to bear this humiliation!" ”
Jérôme. Empress Augusta was startled by Bonaparte's arrogant remarks, and although she herself did not have much respect for the so-called God, she knew that Bourbon and Orleans would benefit only in the event of a conflict between the Bonaparte family and the Church.
Empress Augusta hurried to Jérôme. Bonaparte reminded, "Jérôme, don't be impulsive!" ”
"Don't worry!" Jérôme. Bonaparte replied, "I don't do anything to Pius IX, he is an indispensable tool for us to rule France!" I just want Pius IX to know that the safety of the entire Papal States does not depend on them, but on me! ”
"Hmm!" Empress Augusta nodded in agreement with Jérôme. In Bonaparte's words, Pius IX really needed to have a sense of reverence for the Bonapartes.
Immediately, Empress Augusta asked the Marquise of Alai again, "Marquis Alai, have you passed?" ”
"Nope!" Jérôme. Bonaparte shook his head with a hint of shame.
"Then you don't want to go quickly!" Empress Augusta reproached.
"Then I'll go!" Jérôme. Bonaparte said to Empress Augusta.
"Let's go!" Empress Augusta urged again.
Stay until Jérôme. After Bonaparte left, tears flowed down the face of Empress Augusta.
On the other hand, Jérôme departed by carriage from the Tuileries. Bonaparte soon arrived at the Marquis d'Alai's mansion and knocked on the door of the Marquis d'Alai's house.
"Your Majesty!" The maid in charge of opening the door looked at Jérôme in surprise. Bonaparte said.
"Is Madame at home?" Jérôme. Bonaparte asked in a whisper.
"Yes! Your Majesty! The maid nodded, and hurried to lead Jérôme. Bonaparte went to the room of the Marquise d'Alai.
In the room, he saw the Marquise d'Alai and the baby being carried by the Marquise d'Alai.
