Face Jérôme. Bonaparte gave a list of the members of the Regency Council, and Empress Augusta shook her head at Jérôme. Bonaparte responded, "No, it's not enough! They alone are not enough to guarantee that Friedrich will succeed to the throne!

Besides, why should all the regency council go to outsiders, shouldn't a few of Bonaparte's fellow citizens be appointed as auxiliaries? ”

When I think of those crooked melons and cracked dates of the Bonaparte family, Jérôme. Bonaparte was angry.

"Augusta, I didn't tell you a long time ago that the Bonapartes are all useless waste, and it would be nice if they could recognize their abilities as my father did!

But they simply can't recognize themselves, their abilities don't match their ambitions at all!

Let them serve as the regency committee, I'm afraid that the empire won't last a year before they will be destroyed! "Jérôme. Bonaparte spoke fiercely.

In Jérôme. In Bonaparte's mind, the Second Empire could collapse, but it would die at the hands of "Napoleon", and if it didn't die at the hands of Moltke, it would not be impossible to find anyone, and it would not be impossible to die in the hands of "Kerensky".

If the Bonaparte family had been given regents with incomparably unmatched abilities and ambitions, the Second Reich would most likely have perished like the Soviet Union by a "drunkard".

This is Jérôme. What Bonaparte absolutely did not allow was to exclude the members of the Bonaparte family from the system, so as to ensure that they did not cause much damage.

"Sister Mathilde should be able to, right?" Augusta vs. Jérôme. Bonaparte said.

Jérôme. Bonaparte's expression paused, and after thinking for a moment, he shrugged his shoulders and said helplessly: "Sister Mathilde is indeed a suitable candidate, but she is not suitable to join the Regency Committee!" ”

"Why?" Empress Augusta asked rhetorically: "The last time you went to Crimea, it was Sister Mathilde who was able to assist me in dealing with domestic problems!"

It should be reasonable for her to be a member of the Regency Committee! ”

"If Sister Mathilde were a man, she wouldn't be on the Regency Council everywhere!" Jérôme. Bonaparte said to Augusta slowly, "But Sister Mathilde is a woman, and I am afraid that letting her into the Regency Council will cause some people to be dissatisfied!"

Besides, Sister Mathilde herself did not work within the imperial system!

If she is made a member of the Regency Council, it may break the hearts of some loyalists! ”

After listening to Jérôme. Bonaparte's remarks, Augusta couldn't help but be disgusted by Mathilde. Bonaparte was somewhat indignant.

In terms of ability, Mathilde's ability is not lost to the great powers of the empire at all.

Unfortunately, Mathilde's gender limits the direction in which she can go in the Empire.

At this time, Jérôme. Bonaparte suddenly thought of a man, and he patted his head and said to himself, "That's right! How did I forget about him! ”

"Your Majesty, who is this person you are talking about?" Empress Augusta asked curiously.

"Jérôme. Patterson! "Jérôme. Bonaparte said to Augusta, "You forget, he is also a member of the Bonaparte family!" ”

"He ......," said Empress Augusta, with a slight apprehension, "is he a little too young!" ”

"After all, the Regency Council is just a body to prevent sudden accidents! As long as there are no accidents, the two of us are enough to witness Friedrich grow up safely, and the chances of the Regency Committee being activated are very slim!

So, Jérôme. Patterson is just preventing the possibility of accidents in the next five to ten years!

Five years later, Jérôme. Patterson isn't too young! "Jérôme. Bonaparte explained to Empress Augusta.

Augusta reluctantly agreed to Jérôme. Bonaparte's statement, and then she continued: "But he is not still in Senegal!"

Do you want him to return to Paris? ”

"My dear Augusta, you are so looking forward to the two of us dying sooner and then giving all the rights to the Regency Council!" Jérôme. Bonaparte said with a smile in his eyes.

"I just want to build a perfect safeguard mechanism as soon as possible!" Augusta vs. Jérôme. Bonaparte responded.

This assassination made Augusta even more concerned about Friedrich's future, so she was eager to establish a perfect guarantee mechanism to ensure Friedrich's smooth growth and succession to the throne.

"I understand your feelings Augusta, Friedrich is not only your son, he is also our son!" Jérôme. Bonaparte said to Augusta in a calm tone, "But we can't do this!"

The Bonaparte family has finally produced such a seed of potential, and we cannot settle him under our noses!

That will stop him from moving on!

Only after the eagle breaks free from the shackles of the nest and bravely rushes into the sky can it truly grow! ”

Empress Augusta listened to Jérôme. After Bonaparte's words, he had to sigh to Jérôme. Bonaparte responded, "Your great doctrine is always one set after another!" Let's go! Just do what you say! ”

Immediately afterwards, Jérôme. Bonaparte also added Marshal Conrobert, commander of the Seine Military District, in response to the imbalance between the civil and military forces of the members of the Regency Council.

Although Marshal Conrobert did have some modest command in terms of command, it was fortunate that he himself was loyal to the Empire.

Historically, Marshal Conrobert, after the fall of the Second Empire, still regarded himself as a Bonapartist.

Letting him be a member of the Regency Council can be regarded as a kind of envelopment in disguise.

Eventually, Jérôme. Bonaparte and Augusta established the entire list of members of the Regency Council, and they were Jérôme. Patterson, Niel, Rue, Baroshe, Bjorn, Pessini, and Conrobert.

Of course, this list is just a preliminary list, and as time changes, the names on the list will change accordingly.

……

After the list of members of the Regency Council was determined, Jérôme. On February 3, Bonaparte convened the Imperial Council again.

After all the officials of the Imperial Council had arrived, Jérôme. Bonaparte opened his mouth and said to everyone present, "Everyone, in view of this sudden assassination, the foundations of the empire have almost been shaken!

So Augusta and I both thought it was time for the French Empire to establish an effective system of regency councils.

The system will start working after both me and Empress Augusta have died! ”

Jérôme. As soon as Bonaparte's words fell, the expressions of the Imperial Chancellor under the throne immediately became varied.

Seeing this, Kizo, who was the Minister of State, immediately understood that it was time for him to say polite words. Bonaparte said, "Your Majesty is in the heyday of the Spring and Autumn Period, and that assassination was nothing but a sudden accident!"

I privately thought that the establishment of the regency council system should be postponed! ”

"Minister Kizuo!" Jérôme. Bonaparte smiled at Guizo and said, "Accidents are called accidents because they often happen unexpectedly!"

Since we don't know exactly if it's going to happen, why not be prepared in advance!

In this way, we will be able to deal with the unexpected proficiently!

This regency council system is nothing more than a preventive mechanism after all, and I set it up to maintain the stability of the empire as much as possible!

Just imagine, if one day the Empress Augusta and I suddenly met with an accident, how many of you here would be willing to defend the Empire, and how many of you would like to welcome Henry V in Austria and the Count of Paris in London again! ”

After that, Jérôme. Bonaparte glanced at the Imperial Ministers with an aggressive gaze, a small number of Imperial Ministers subconsciously curled up, and some of them still straightened up.

The whole Imperial Council became extraordinarily quiet, and after a while, Jérôme. Bonaparte spoke again, and said in a calm tone to those present, "Of course, what I have just said is only a hypothesis, and you should not pay too much attention to it!

My purpose in establishing the Regency Council is to keep the Second Empire running smoothly without me and Augusta! ”

Subsequently, Jérôme. Bonaparte then said to the crowd, "Wait a minute, the person whose name I pronounce, reply to me!" ”

Everyone present pricked up their ears and listened attentively to Jérôme. Bonaparte's next shout.

To some extent, it was able to be taken by Jérôme. The people entrusted by Bonaparte with the important task were already considered the henchmen of the emperor's henchmen.

"Chief of Staff Niel!"

"In!"

"Minister Ruet!"

"In!"

"Minister Barosh!"

"In!"

"Speaker Bjyo!"

"In!"

"Minister Perciny!"

"In!"

"Marshal Conrobel!"

"In!"

Niel, Rue, Baroshe, Bjorn, Pessini, and Conrobert responded to Jérôme. Bonaparte, Jérôme. Bonaparte then said to them, "You and Jérôme, who is still governor of Senegal. Patterson is a member of the appointed Regency Council!

If one day, Augusta and I unfortunately pass away!

I hope you will be able to assist Friedrich as much as I do! ”

Niel and others hurriedly said yes, and then Jérôme. Bonaparte said to them again, "I remind you that this list of members of the Regency Council is not static, it is a list of liquidity. ”

Jérôme. Bonaparte paused, looked at Niel and the others, and said, "If I think any of you are not good enough, I will kick you out of the Regency Council."

Conversely, those members who did not make it to the Regency Council.

If there's anyone who can satisfy me, I'll put him on the Regency Council too!

All right! Let's get here today!

Everyone but Pessini, can leave! ”
