March 20, 1858.

The murderer Orsini and his two collaborators in the assassination announced the execution on the outskirts of the city, north of Paris.

On this day, the temperature in Paris warmed up unusually well, with only a scorching orange-yellow glow in the sea-like sky, and clouds floating around it.

In such a warm climate, many of the inhabitants of Paris, with their love of doing everything, spontaneously arrived at the execution ground on foot and waited for Orsini to be shot.

When the group of citizens arrived around the execution ground, they saw a heavily armed force in the distance.

Although the all-armed army stood still around the execution ground, they managed to plunge the inhabitants of Paris into a brief period of confusion.

In the end, it was with the help of this unit that the crowd that came to observe did not continue to expand the chaos.

The crowd, which had regained order, began to wait quietly around the outside of the observation area, which was thought to be isolated, and again, the few brave people should have discussed it with the soldiers stationed at the execution ground.

After some discussion, it was learned that they were troops who had been temporarily transferred to garrison here two days ago.

In addition to the mission of supervising the beheading, they also played a role in preventing riots at the venue.

When the residents of Paris asked them what time the execution began, the soldier also shook his head and said that he did not know the exact time of the execution.

The Parisian inhabitants who surrounded the execution site could only stand quietly and wait.

One hour, two hours...... After a long wait, it soon came to 11 o'clock, and some of the citizens who had arrived at the execution site early turned around and went home with impatient expressions.

Most of the citizens of Paris who stayed were people with small assets and a lot of time.

They continued to stand in place, waiting for Orsini's execution.

When the time came to 11:30, a horse-drawn carriage slowly drove towards the execution ground from a distance.

When the carriage was close enough to the crowd, the citizens of Paris realized that the carriage was not one, but three, and that the people sitting in the three carriages were none other than Orsini and his two collaborators.

The carriage slowly stopped at the execution ground, and a spirited Orsini stepped out of the carriage, looking at the crowd in the distance with a smile on his face, and then struggling towards the execution ground.

Judging by his expression and demeanor alone, then Orsini at this moment does not look like a prisoner, but like a victor.

Immediately afterwards, the two collaborators also stepped out of the carriage in turn, their faces haggard, their eyes still carrying the horror of death and the longing for life, their expressions and demeanors were like people who were really facing death.

The stark contrast between Orsini and the two collaborators made the Parisian crowd full of respect for Orsini.

Orsini stepped into the execution ground step by step, and then stood in front of the guillotine, looking at the brand-new guillotine in front of him with a slight confusion in his eyes, and involuntarily shouted loudly, "Long live the Republic!"

The surrounding Republicans were stunned for a moment when they heard Orsini's cry, and then they followed Orsini and shouted, "Long live the Republic, death to the Empire!!" ….

The officer in charge of guarding the execution ground, after hearing the slogan "Long live the Republic", said that it was as uncomfortable as swallowing a fly alive, and now he wanted to immediately find the people in the crowd who shouted "Long live the Republic, death to the Empire".

It's a pity that the current situation makes him dare not make any moves at all

Otherwise, with the more than 100 people in his hands, he would not be able to stop this group of Parisian residents.

Fortunately, after the Republicans in the crowd shouted this slogan, someone else began to shout, "Long live the Republic, long live the Empire!"

"Long live the Republic, long live the Empire!"

Led by this group of people, the surrounding Parisians once again turned out the slogans of seven years ago and shouted.

[PS: Jérôme.]

When Bonaparte was president of the Second Republic, he often used the slogans "Long live the Republic, long live the Empire" and "Long live the Republic, long live Bonaparte" as slogans for the army and the citizens of Paris to shout.

After the establishment of the Empire, "Long Live the Republic" was deleted, leaving only "Long live the Empire, Long live Bonaparte"]

Only then did the faces of the officers guarding the execution ground soothe, no matter what, the slogan "Long live the republic, long live the empire" was much better than "Long live the republic, long live the empire die"!

The republicans in the crowd had a look of reluctance on their faces after hearing the shouts of the citizens of Paris.

At present, they cannot take the initiative to stand up and lead the people to shout, and they can only choose to go with the flow and shout "Long live the Republic, long live the Empire".

The shouting continued for more than 30 seconds before stopping, and the entire execution ground fell silent again.

Another 10 minutes passed, and another carriage came from a distance.

When the carriage stopped, a priest in a red robe and a Bible in his hand appeared.

As soon as the priest arrived, he caught everyone's attention.

The priest in the red robe was none other than Cello, Archbishop of Paris.

The clerical newspapers made it clear that Morlow would never forgive a regal killer like Orsini, why he appeared at the execution ground.

Everyone's hearts were full of doubts, and under the gaze of the people of Paris, Archbishop Morlot walked in front of Orsini and the others with a solemn face.

Orsini also showed a look of astonishment, and then whispered to the bishop in front of him, "Your Excellency, I'm sorry for you!"

Bishop Morlow said in a sloppy tone, "I am also entrusted by men!"

Immediately afterwards, all the Parisian crowd in front of Archbishop Morlow told them that the reason why he stood here to listen to the last prayer of Orsini the kingkiller was not because he had forgiven Orsini.

Rather, it was because His Majesty the Emperor begged him to give Orsini his last ride.

His Majesty the Emperor said that he himself had forgiven Orsini for his offense.

All the Parisians present showed shocked expressions after hearing these words of Archbishop Morlot,

Unexpectedly, the emperor would forgive Orsini for such a person who assassinated him.

"Your Majesty's heart is so big-hearted!" Archbishop of Morlo to Jérôme. Bonaparte praised him, then looked at Orsini and asked in a serious tone, "Orsini, are you willing to confess!" ….

Orsini bowed his head to Archbishop Morlo and said, "Your Excellency, I am willing to confess!"

Before Archbishop Morlo could say the next word, Orsini continued, "But I only admit that I have a word for Jérôme. His Majesty Bonaparte himself confessed his mistake, and I will never admit that the republicanism I profess is a false note!"

"You!" Archbishop Morlo pointed at Orsini and wanted to rebuke him again.

Unfortunately, the time had come to 11:50, and the officer in charge of guarding the execution arrived at the side of Archbishop Morlo and whispered, "Your Excellency, the time is almost up!"

Bishop Morlo had no choice but to put aside the rebuke and revert to a solemn expression and prayed to Orsini, "May the Lord ......"

Orsini and the two collaborators immediately understood that they were less than 10 minutes away from the guillotine.

Orsini faced the impending death with a calm expression, and the two collaborators looked like ashes, and their legs couldn't help but tremble.

At 11:55 p.m., Bishop Morlo reopened his eyes and asked Orsini and his two collaborators, "Do you two repent of your previous actions?"

"I'm guilty!"

"I'm guilty too!"

The two co-workers hurriedly replied to Morlo for solace in his soul.

Orsini said to Bishop Morlo, "I am proud of the assassination of Jérôme. His Majesty the Emperor Bonaparte regretted this, but never regretted that he had completed the unification of Italy in this way

！」

Bishop Morlo's face became even more ugly after hearing Orsini's words.

Orsini's words were a blatant provocation against their church.

"Let's get started!" Archbishop Morlo said to the officer beside him with a gloomy face.

The officer hurriedly motioned to his two soldiers to pull Orsini to the guillotine, he had seen too many people who were impassioned in their mouths, but in fact they had actually reached the guillotine, and they were terrified.

The two soldiers quickly approached Orsini's side, and Orsini glanced at them, smiled, and said, "I'll do it myself!"

With that, Orsini knelt on the plank of the guillotine, then put his head under the guillotine's knife holder, and then continued to the two soldiers in a flat tone, "Can you two help me fix it?"

The two soldiers were stunned for a moment, and then, at the urging of the commander, put down the fixed plate of the guillotine, and at the same time placed a wooden barrel under the skull, and as soon as the gate knife above was lowered, a good head would roll into the barrel.

After all this, the soldier once again thoughtfully put on a black blindfold for Orsini and waited for 12 o'clock in the afternoon.

When the time reached 12 noon, the officer gave the order for the execution.

The soldier next to the guillotine quickly pulled down the bolt that kept the 32-kilogram beveled blade knife from falling, and the sharp blade quickly fell under the action of gravity.

At a fraction of a second, the knife touched the skin on the back of Orsini's neck, and then cut through the epidermis like a cow.

A few more tenths of a second passed, and the knife cut the back of the neck bone completely.

At this point, even a wise doctor is powerless.

When the time came, the first second after the knife fell, a large head fell on the barrel with a sound, and blood dripped down the knife.

"Next!"
