"Understood!"

Emir. Olivier replied to Jérôme in a sonorous tone. Bonaparte said.

Subsequently, Jérôme. Bonaparte ordered Basilio to be secretary to Lucien. Murat called to the study, and Basilio was ordered to leave.

After a while, Lucien Murat appeared in Jérôme. Bonaparte's office, he first glanced at the Emile. Olivier then asked respectfully: "Your Majesty, what do you want me to command?" ”

"Lucien, isn't there a shortage of a supervisor in the news organization under your secretary's office now! I've got a helper for you! "Jérôme. Bonaparte pointed at the emile. Olivier, in a consultative tone, said, "This emir. . . Mr. Olivier, who had previously held a key position in the republican faction, is now out of the ranks of the republican faction.

I want him to go to the secretary's office as the head of the news, and be in charge of managing domestic and foreign news full-time! What do you think! ”

Lucien. Murat looked the emir up and down. Olivier, and then immediately realized that the emir. Olivier was the eye of the emperor in the secretary's room.

Although the current news organization does not have a formal director, it does have a person who temporarily acts in this position.

This man is also Lucien. Murat's henchman.

If the emir. If Olivier really succeeds in parachuting, then it will inevitably make some people dissatisfied with him.

They will think it is him Lucien. Murat did not fight for them before the emperor,

In that case, I'm afraid the entire secretarial office will not be as monolithic as before.

Jérôme. Bonaparte's move was nothing more than a blow to Lucien. Murat prestige in the secretary's office.

But if you refuse, you will also be punished by Jérôme. Bonaparte's discontent.

Lucien. After weighing it back and forth for a moment, Murat made his choice, and he smiled at Jérôme. Bonaparte responded: "Your Majesty, of course I welcome the emir. Mr. Olivier was able to help me with the secretarial office! ”

"That's good!" Jérôme. Bonaparte likewise laughed at Lucien. Murat nodded, and then said "frankly", "Also, I will send the emir. Olivier is not delegating to the secretary's office, not to share your rights!

The reason why I would choose the emir. Olivier was in charge of propaganda and speech control because when he was a republican, he was one of the few people in the republican faction who could guide public opinion!

Placing him in your secretary's office is a professional counterpart!

So you don't have to have any psychological burden, if Olivier does something wrong, you can always criticize and educate him! ”

"Your Majesty, I understand!

"Lucien. Murat nodded to Jérôme. Bonaparte said.

Immediately afterwards, Lucien. Murat came to the emir. Olivier in front of him, smiling and stretching out his hand to pretend to be kind to the emir. "Welcome to the secretary's office!" Mr. Olivier! ”

"It's been an honor to work with you! His Highness Lucien! "Emir. Olivier also responded with no humility.

After a brief handshake, Jérôme. Bonaparte spoke again to Lucien. Murat said, "Lucien, you will take Olivier with you in a moment to visit the secretary's room!"

Let him know about the work of the secretary's office and the structure of the secretary's room! ”

"Yes!" Lucien. Murat replied briefly but firmly.

"Olivier, during all this time with Lucien! You have to see more and learn more, only then can you really improve! "Jérôme. Bonaparte also admonished the emir. Olivier a word.

He's hinting at the emir. Olivier got to know the secretary's office as soon as possible, so that it was good to be in Jérôme. Bonaparte deposed Lucien. After Murat, he quickly took over the secretary's office.

After all, the emir . Time is running out for Olivier.

"Understood!" Emir. Olivier apparently understood Jérôme. Bonaparte meant, he immediately responded.

Immediately after that, Emile. Olivier with Lucien. Murat left Jérôme together. Bonaparte's study.

Jérôme. Bonaparte turned to Basilio and asked, "Guess when the two of them will clash!" ”

"Your Majesty, I can't guess!" Basilio shook his head and said honestly! A sentence.

"I guess it won't be long before they face a conflict!" Jérôme. Bonaparte touched his chin and said, "But, as long as you don't tear your face completely!"

Let them do the rest! ”

……

Over the next ten days, Emir. Olivier, while taking on all the work of the secretary's office press service, began to co-opt his subordinates for his own use.

Alfred. Darimon also founded the New Republican Party during this time, and sent out invitations to the Republicans with great fanfare the day before its formation.

When Jules. After Favre and the others received this news, their faces became very ugly.

Alfred. Darimon's move was nothing short of a naked humiliation to them.

Worse still, Alfred's move could easily lead to renewed turmoil within the Republicans.

So, in Jules. Favre ordered all the Republicans to face Alfred. Darimon condemned the split of the republican faction, which they called Alfred. Darimon's party-building action was completely to the extent of damaging the republic in the hearts of the people.

Alfred. Darimon was naturally not a man who was willing to be scolded, and he hurriedly sent people to fight back against the republicans.

They say that the old republicans are rotten in their thinking and that they simply cannot recognize the changes of the times.

As the war of old and new republicans in the newspapers intensified, Alfred . . . Darimon exposed Jules again. Favre suppresses the emir. News from Olivier.

As soon as this news broke, many people who originally supported Jules. Favre's people have also chosen not to support unconditionally.

There are also those who choose to follow the emir. Olivier left together.

The power of the old republicans began to decline, while the new republicans began to move upward.

The whole process was taken by the Jérôme of the Palazzo Douenlery. Bonaparte in full view.

When the time came on 1 February, Mathilde's arrival shattered the tranquility of the Douilleri Palace.

In the afternoon, Mathilde, as usual, went to the Palazzo Douilleri to chat with Queen Augusta.

The two chatted and chatted, and then they talked about this assassination.

"Alas! You two were really careless! Mathilde sighed and replied reproachfully to Queen Augusta, "Thankfully, the assassin missed, in case ......"

At this point, Mathilde stopped talking, she knew that there were some things that could be said to the point.

"Even if I and Jérôme. Bonaparte really suffered misfortune, isn't it still you! Empress Augusta replied affectionately to Princess Mathilde.

"We?" Princess Mathilde smiled bitterly and said to Empress Augusta, "I don't have the power to protect the empire that Jérôme has built, let alone my father!"

Instead of counting on us, it's better to have a system in place in advance!

If something really happens, there are ways to deal with it! ”

After listening to Princess Mathilde's words, Empress Augusta thought carefully for a moment, then nodded and said, "You're right, you're right! Indeed, an effective system should be appointed to ensure that Friedrich can succeed to the throne smoothly!

Sister, who do you think can take on this heavy responsibility! ”

Princess Mathilde shook her head and said to Queen Augusta, "You'd better discuss this with Jérôme!"

I think he should know better than I know who he can trust! ”

"That's right!" Empress Augusta replied to Princess Mathilde.

After the two continued to talk for a long time, Princess Mathilde bid farewell to Queen Augusta, who personally sent Princess Mathilde out of the Palazzo Douilleri.

Augusta, who watched Princess Mathilde's carriage drift away, turned around and headed for Jérôme. The study where Bonaparte was.

Arriving at the door of the study, Empress Augusta pushed open the door. Bonaparte was putting down the pen in his hand and stretching.

Looking at Augusta as he entered the study, Jérôme. Bonaparte asked, "Why are you here?" ”

"What! Can't I come? "Empress Augusta to Jérôme. Bonaparte asked.

"Absolutely!" Jérôme. Bonaparte said to Empress Augusta.

However, Jérôme, who has been a husband and wife for many years. Bonaparte, of course, knew that Augusta had entered the study at this time, and that he must have had something to consult with him.

Otherwise, Augusta would not have come at this time.

"Why don't we go sit on the couch for a while!" Empress Augusta asked Jérôme. Bonaparte said.

"Absolutely!" Jérôme. Bonaparte nodded, got up and headed to the couch.

Jérôme. After Bonaparte and Augusta sat down on the sofa, Augusta rested his head on Jérôme. "Jérôme, after the last incident, I am really worried that the two of us will die prematurely before Friedrich is an adult!" ”

"Don't worry! This won't happen again! "Jérôme. Bonaparte put one hand around Augusta and said softly.

"Who can guarantee that this won't happen again!" Augusta retorts to Jérôme. Bonaparte, "We can't put our hopes in the absence of Assassins!" ”

"And what do you say you want to do?" Jérôme. Bonaparte asked Augusta rhetorically.

"Your Majesty, I think it is imperative that we devise a system that will assist Friedrich!" Augusta looked at Jérôme with a serious expression. Bonaparte said.

"Isn't that a bit of a fuss!" Jérôme. Bonaparte said a word to Empress Augusta.

"Your Majesty, it's not a big fuss!" Empress Augusta spoke firmly to Jérôme. Bonaparte replied, "We must be prepared!" ”

"In that case, we can only prepare a regency committee!

"Jérôme. Bonaparte replied to Empress Augusta, "This regency council will not be activated until we both are killed!"

As for the candidates, ......"

Jérôme. In Bonaparte's mind, he had in turn the person he had in mind.

After a few seconds, Jérôme. Bonaparte opened his mouth and said to Empress Augusta, "The regency committee will first be tentatively selected for Niel, Ruet, Baroshe, and Bjorn!"

One army, two government dignitaries, and a speaker of parliament, this lineup should be enough! ”
