Chapter 972: The Interrogation of the Ambassador of Sardinia
March 5, 1858.
The trial of Orsini and his three accomplices began in earnest, following the presentation of a report by the Minister of the Interior, Pessini, to the Tuileries Palace, entitled "On the Circumstances of the Extraordinarily Serious Criminal Case That Occurred Outside the Paris Opera on 13 January".
Inside the Tuileries Palace.
Jerome read the report from beginning to end with his head down. Bonaparte raised his head again, glanced at Pessini, who was sitting across from him, smiled and nodded, and said, "This report is very well written! I'm satisfied, whose hand is this?"
Hear Jérôme. Bonaparte's words of encouragement, and the slightly nervous expression of Pessini finally relaxed.
Until then, Pepensini did not know whether the report, written by his own hand, would satisfy His Majesty the Emperor.
After all, it had not been a long time since Pesini had written a report himself, and the vast majority of reports in the Home Office were written with the help of his secretary.
Now it seems that his skills when he was the editor-in-chief of the newspaper have not been completely lost.
"Your Majesty!" Pesini looked at Jérôme with a straight face. Bonaparte said, "I wrote this report myself!"
"Not bad! Not bad!" Jérôme. Bonaparte complimented Persini, signed his name on the paper, and then pushed it to Persini and continued, "You now submit this document to the Supreme Court, and let them choose a date for a public hearing of Orsini!"
Pessini took the document and looked serious at Jérôme. Bonaparte replied, "Your Majesty, I will do it at once!"
With that, Pesini strode around and left the office.
Before Pesini could reach the door of the office, Jérôme. Bonaparte's voice reached Pessini's ears again, "Wait a minute!"
Persini stopped, turned and looked puzzled.
"That's right! You make a copy of the report and then hand it over to the Supreme Court!
The copy will be handed over to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs!" Jérôme. Bonaparte said a word to Pessini.
Pessini nodded again, in understanding.
……
When Pessini arrives at the Council of State by horse-drawn carriage, he submits the report to the Council of State (the full name is the Supreme Administrative Court, which can also be called the Supreme Court or the Administrative Court).
The president of the Council of State, Auvergne, solemnly accepted the report submitted by Pessini, and then told Pessini with a smile that the Council of State would hear the shocking assassination in public on March 15.
"Okay!" Chancellor Pessini replied lightly with a word, and then said to Auvergne with a hint of officialdom, "Your Majesty, I hope that the Council of State will hear this case in an open and fair manner!"
Don't give those who have bad intentions about the empire a chance!"
After listening to Pessini's words, Auvergne was slightly stunned, and then cautiously probed, "Minister Pessini, what do you mean?"
"Your administrative court must give the prisoner the right to speak, which means that you must take the initiative to assign a lawyer to the prisoner!" Pesini decided to open the skylight and say, "If those republican lawyers are allowed to take advantage of the loopholes, be careful that you can't eat and walk around!"
You'd better choose someone with less seniority to be your defense lawyer!"
"Understood! Understood!" Auvergne bowed his head and replied to Pessini.
"That's it! That's all I have to say! You can take care of the rest!" After Pesini finished speaking, he walked towards the Supreme Court without looking back, and he had to hand over the copy to De. After Minister Ruiz, it was over.
"I'll send you!" Auvergne hurriedly followed behind Pessini, personally escorted Pessini out of the Administrative Court building, and then watched Pessini ride away in a carriage.
Sitting in the carriage, Pessini looked at the scenery outside the window with a little tiredness, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help revealing the joy of victory.
Nearly two months of interrogation and evidence collection are finally coming to an end, and in a few days, Orsini will be sentenced to death in the administrative court
It's complete.
Just as Orsini was contemplating the scene of the reward after the end, the carriage came to a slow stop.
"Your Excellency, we have arrived!" The coachman outside the carriage shouted at Pesini at the carriage.
"I see!" Coming to his senses, Percini hurriedly took the copy in his hand and pushed the car door open.
Pesini got out of the carriage and walked straight towards the building of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, and when he entered the building, he quickly found the State Secretary of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
Led by the Secretary of State, Pesini arrived in De. The door to Ruiz's office.
After the secretary of state knocked lightly on the door, there was a message from the other side of the door. Ruiz's voice, "Please come in!"
The Secretary of State opened the door, but instead of entering, he stood in the door and invited Pessini into the room.
When Pessini entered the office, the secretary of state closed the door thoughtfully.
Standing at the door of the office, Pesini looked at De. Ruiz, he didn't make a sound, and slowly walked towards De. Ruiz walked over.
At this time of the De. Likewise unaware that the person entering the room was not his state secretary, Ruiz continued to scroll through the documents with his head down, and then asked in a casual tone, "Is there something wrong?"
Pesini then spoke to Germany. Ruiz replied, "Your Majesty has ordered me to send you a copy of the report!"
Morality. Only then did Ruiz realize that the person opposite him was not his secretary, he quickly raised his head to look at the other side, and then got up and said to Persini, "Minister Persini, I'm sorry...... I thought it was my secretary talking to me!
Let's go talk on the couch!"
Saying, De. Ruiz stretched out his hand and invited Pessini to the couch.
Persini shook his head and put the report on De. In front of Ruiz, "No need!"
Immediately afterwards, Pesini told De. Ruiz, this document is the whole process of the assassination, and the assassin Orsini dictated the assassination.
"Hmm!" Morality. Ruiz nodded and replied to Pessini, "This will be very helpful for the next diplomatic action of our Ministry of Foreign Affairs!"
On behalf of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, I would like to thank you!"
"Nothing!" Pessini waved his hand and said to De. Lu Luis said, "I'm just following His Majesty's orders!
If nothing happens, I'll leave!"
"I'll send you!" Morality. Ruiz said politely, then took a few steps forward.
"No need!" Pesini shook his head and refused, and left De Des. Ruiz's office.
As soon as Pessini's front foot left, De. Ruiz opened the report and read it.
After reading the report before and after, De. Ruiz smiled calmly and confidently.
With this report, he was able to act against the Kingdom of Sardinia from the vantage point.
Subsequently, De. Ruiz summoned his secretary of state and sent him an invitation to the Grand Master of the Kingdom of Sardinia, de la Murphy. Rocca came to the order of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
"Let him come over now, or make an appointment!" The Secretary of State inquired in detail about the de. Lyce Road.
"Now!" Morality. Ruiz replied briefly.
The Secretary of State departed after receiving the order. Ruiz also took advantage of Della. During the time when Roca had not yet arrived at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, he tried to adjust himself to the best he could for the next trip. Roca's conversation.
So, de. Ruice took several newspapers related to recreational activities (e.g., horse racing, bridge, etc.) from the newspaper rack where the newspapers were kept, and sat on the sofa and quietly flipped through them.
Justification. When Ruiz was fascinated, there was a knock on the door again. Ruiz pulled back to reality, this time asking in a loud voice, "Who?"
"It's me! Your Excellency!" The voice of the state secretary was heard outside the room.
"Please come in!" Morality. Ruiz put down the newspaper
, then get up and face the door.
A few seconds later, the door opened, and the Secretary of State and the Sardinian Ambassador to France appeared in the room.
"Good morning! Morality. Lord Ruice!" Della. Laura walked slowly to De. Ruiz stretched out his hand in front of him and said to him with great respect.
"Good morning! Della. Ambassador Rocca!" Morality. Ruiz grabbed Della. Rocca's hand, with a smirk.
After the two shook hands with each other, De. Ruiz invites Della. Roca sat on the couch chatting, Della. Lola Yingde. Ruiz sat down at his request.
Immediately afterwards, De. Ruiz put away his smile and showed a serious expression to Della. "I think your country should know that France captured more than two months ago the group of radicals who tried to assassinate His Majesty the Emperor!"
Della. After thinking for a moment, Roca nodded to De. "Of course I know that these hateful fellows are doing nothing in the name of unifying the Apennines.
In the end, they dared to openly assassinate His Majesty the Emperor's head!
It's madness!"
Della. Rocca used clever words to characterize Orsini's assassination as an assassination planned by himself, thus cutting off his own weak ties with the government of the Kingdom of Sardinia!
"Ambassador Rocca, I heard that behind Orsini is the charcoal-burning party in the Kingdom of Sardinia, I wonder if you know anything about it!" Morality. Ruiz's tone began to become aggressive.
"Lord Ruiz, we have only recently learned that behind Orsini is actually the charcoal burner in the Kingdom of Sardinia!" Deca. Roca smiled wryly at De. Ruiz replied, and he knew that De. Ruiz must have called him over because of the problem.
"If the Kingdom of Sardinia already knows what the Charcoal Burners are doing in the Kingdom of Sardinia, why do you choose to cooperate with the Sardinian Charcoal Burners!!" Morality. Ruiz asked Della in a strong tone. Lola Road.
