Chapter 757: The Paris Peace Conference Begins

"I see!"

Learn about Jérôme. Count Clarendon, whose attitude towards the Russian Empire was still balanced, nodded, and then stood up to Jérôme. Bonaparte bowed and said, "Your Majesty, then I will leave first!" ”

"I'll send you!" Jérôme. Bonaparte likewise got up and said a word to Count Clarendon.

"No, Your Majesty!" Count Clarendon rejects Jérôme. Bonaparte's farewell, leaving the Tuileries Palace alone on the one in the Tuileries Palace under the leadership of Mocal.

Jérôme standing on the windowsill. Bonaparte quietly looked at the distant Count of Clarendon and muttered, "What does the Kingdom of Britain mean?" ”

……

Time passed quickly, and soon it was 12 noon the next day.

At this time, the streets of the Quai d'Orsay and the Pont de la Concorde were filled with crowds of onlookers as they had been yesterday, waiting eagerly for the diplomatic missions of various countries to pass by.

Seeing this, the sheriff in charge of the area had to report the situation to his immediate boss, Home Secretary Pesini.

"What!" Hearing the news, Pesini showed a look of surprise on his face, and then hurriedly gathered his police and gendarmerie captains, and gave the order to evacuate the crowd and ensure that the diplomatic mission arrived at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs on time.

The sergeant and the captain of the gendarmerie, who received the order, did not dare to slack off for a moment, for the time of the mission's arrival was less than two hours.

Nearly 1,000 police officers and 300 gendarmes were dispatched to the Pont de la Concorde and Rue du Quard-Orsay, and after more than half an hour of coordination, the coordination was finally completed at 12:50 p.m.

Having done all this, Pessini breathed a sigh of relief and then personally went to the Tuileries Palace to pay tribute to Jérôme. Bonaparte reported this news.

"Not bad!" Jérôme in the study. Bonaparte calmly read the History of French Civilization while calmly holding it, and replied lightly.

"That's what I'm supposed to do!" Pesini modestly said to Jérôme. Bonaparte said.

The two chatted for a while again, during which Jérôme. Bonaparte asked Pesini if he knew about the condition of the former Orleans Prime Minister Guizot.

Pesini shook his head, and then turned to Jérôme. Bonaparte promised that he would keep Guizot under close surveillance after he left.

"Surveillance?" Jérôme. Bonaparte chuckled, continued to flip through the "History of French Civilization" in his hand, and said: "Don't spy on him! All you need to do is ask Mr. Guizo a question on my behalf! ”

"Your Majesty, what do you want to ask?" Pesini vs. Jérôme. Bonaparte said.

"You can help me ask Kizo if he would like to serve as an official and a half-official in the Imperial Government!" Jérôme. Bonaparte replied lightly, "If he wishes, I can give him the post of member of the Board of Education!" ”

Hear Jérôme. Bonaparte's promise, Pesini's face showed a look of surprise.

When Guizot was in the Kingdom of Orleans, he advocated taking the right to education out of the hands of the church.

The Falu Law, now implemented by the Imperial Government, ascribed the right of French citizens to receive education under the influence of the Church.

Jérôme. Did Bonaparte do this mean that he wanted to break with the church?

"Your Majesty, are you going to do something to the church?" Pesini cautiously asked Jérôme. Bonaparte.

Before the Revolution, it was an old tradition for the Dharma king, after holding absolute power, to attack the Church with a heavy fist.

Who allowed the Gallic Church at that time to accumulate a great deal of wealth in France.

However, after the Revolution, the wealth accumulated by the Gallic Church over hundreds of years was directly confiscated.

The current Gallic Church is not as rich as the previous Gallic Church, and it is very likely that it will not get the money if it is rashly punched, and it will cause a lot of trouble.

"Pesini!" Jérôme. Bonaparte closed the History of French Civilization and said to Pessini: "Do you know the catfish effect? ”

Percini shook his head and looked at Jérôme with a confused expression. Bonaparte.

Jérôme. Bonaparte immediately told Pesini about the catfish effect.

"Your Majesty, do you want to make Kizo that catfish and stir up the entire education system!" Pesini immediately understood Jérôme. Bonaparte meaning.

"That's right!" Jérôme. Bonaparte nodded and said to Pessini, "I have to make those guys feel the crisis, or they'll be unenterprising!" What our government needs is a more educated population, not an illiterate population! ”

"I see!" Pessini nodded to Jérôme. Bonaparte replied.

Subsequently, Jérôme. Bonaparte issued another order to Pesini's eviction.

Shortly after Pessini's departure, Empress Augusta appeared in Jérôme. Bonaparte's study.

"Your Majesty, what are you looking for me?" Empress Augusta asked Jérôme. Bonaparte said.

"I can't look for you if I'm fine?" Jérôme. Bonaparte took Augusta's hand and replied half-jokingly.

"Of course not!" Empress Augusta shook her head.

Immediately afterwards, Jérôme. Bonaparte told Empress Augusta that he wanted to take Augusta and Friedrich on a short outing to the Bois de Boulogne.

"Over there at the Docks of Orsay, don't care?" Empress Augusta vs. Jérôme. Bonaparte asked.

"Give it to Valevsky, and they'll be fine!" Jérôme. Bonaparte shrugged his shoulders and replied to Empress Augusta: "You can't count on me for everything!" Valevsky, the foreign minister, is in the service of me, not me, the emperor, in his service! ”

"Have you served Valewski less?" Empress Augusta teased.

"I'm not afraid that Valewski will make a mistake!" Jérôme. Bonaparte replied awkwardly.

Empress Augusta was right, since Jérôme. After Bonaparte became president, he received foreign envoys directly as often as foreign ministers.

Over time, both domestic and foreign diplomatic departments knew that the real French Ministry of Foreign Affairs was at the Tuileries Palace, and that the Quai d'Orsay was nothing more than an "ornament".

"What? Aren't you afraid now? "Empress Augusta again to Jérôme. Bonaparte teased.

"Don't talk about that! Pack up and go! "Jérôme. Bonaparte had no choice but to change the subject and answer to Empress Augusta.

……

Right here in Jérôme. As Bonaparte and Empress Augusta were preparing for an outing to the Bois de Boulogne, carriages carrying foreign ministers passed by the Pont de la Concorde and headed west to the gates of the Foreign Office at the Quai d'Orsay.

As soon as each minister stepped out of the carriage and into the Foreign Ministry building, the crowd erupted with "Long live peace, long live Napoleon!" Cheers.

As the first batch of foreign ministers to arrive at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, the foreign ministers (prime ministers) of the seven countries were greeted by civilian bureaucrats headed by the secretary of state, as soon as they entered the building of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.

"Ministers, please come with me!" The Secretary of State respectfully addressed the crowd and then led the way for the G-7 delegates.

Under the guidance of the State Secretary, the representatives of the seven countries soon arrived at the ambassador's hall on the first floor of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.

The first thing people who entered the hall was a large round table made of green velvet, with twelve tables and chairs on the side of the round table.

Eight ministers of the seven countries involved in the Crimean War (Nesserrodi and Gorchakov each representing the two Russian governments) will discuss issues at the round table, and dozens of chairs will be placed around the round table, where representatives of "unrelated" countries will be seated.

As for why some unrelated countries came to join in the fun, a large part of the reason was the Vienna Conference.

When the Vienna Parliament divided the cake, the kings who had been expelled by Napoleon came to the Congress of Vienna with the mentality of trying to get back to the throne, and their hopes really came true.

The vast majority of the kings expelled by Napoleon regained the throne, and a small number of lucky ones (the Kingdom of Sardinia) even annexed some countries (the Republic of Genaa) on the basis of their original ones as compensation.

After the partition of Vienna, the European countries were also enthusiastic about participating in the conference, and whether they had it or not, they liked to go and participate.

It would be great if you could really get any benefits from the partition!

Even if there are no benefits, strengthening ties with powerful countries is not a waste of time.

A scarlet curtain hung on the wall directly in front of the auditorium and the large round table, and the Secretary of State ordered his men to open the curtain, revealing Jérôme hanging from the wall. Portraits of Bonaparte and Empress Augusta, with the two facing the round table, as if to tell the representatives that their every move cannot escape their sight.

On the left side of the portrait is a fireplace, and on a platform next to the fireplace is a marble statue of Emperor Napoleon, which has not been seen by any monarch for more than forty years.

Nowadays in Jérôme. Thanks to the efforts of Bonaparte and the Second Empire, the monarchs of various countries had to face the statue, because behind the statue was a powerful French Empire.

"Everyone, please wait a moment!" Once again, the State Secretary saluted the crowd and said, "Your Excellency Minister Valewski, you will soon come down from the upper floor!" ”

The Foreign Ministers of the Seven Nations nodded, and then sat down according to the names on the round table.

After a while, the ambassadors of Denmark, Württemberg, Bavaria, Greece, Hanover, Saxony, Poland (Prince of Czartorysky concurrently), Greece, Naples and others arrived and sat in the audience and quietly waited for the peace conference to begin.
