Chapter 986: There is no way to give gifts
Morality. Lyce's insistence on liberalism and nationalism in Italy frustrated Cavour.
In the case that the two sides could not get along, De. Ruiz tactfully begged Cavour to leave.
Cavour sighed lightly, and then bowed to De. Ruiz resigned.
Leaving the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Cavour turned around and returned to the Embassy of Sardinia in France. Ambassador Rocca, after seeing Prime Minister Cavour disappointed, immediately realized that the Prime Minister was in good faith. Ruiz's negotiations were unsuccessful.
Della. Rocca hurriedly suggested to Cavour, "Your Excellency, your subordinates think that you should now look for a person who can speak in front of the Emperor, and through him/her to Jérôme. His Majesty the Emperor Bonaparte intercedes!
As long as Jérôme. If His Majesty Bonaparte is willing to take this issue lightly, then there is no reason for the Foreign Office to pursue us any longer."
"I know!"
Cavour vs. Della. Roca replied lightly, then returned to the room alone, and took out the suitcase he had placed under the bed.
Cavour, who opened the suitcase, put the already wrapped gift box in his pocket, then closed the suitcase at you, and quickly ran downstairs.
"I'm going out!" Returning from the upstairs to the living room on the first floor, Cavour was again confronted by Della. Rocca said a word and walked away without looking back.
After leaving the Sardinian embassy in France, Cavour set off again in a horse-drawn carriage, this time to the palace of Princess Mathilde.
There are only a handful of people in the whole of Paris who can help them, and Princess Mathilde is one of them.
The carriage galloped all the way to Princess Mathilde, and as the carriage approached the gate of Mathilde's mansion, a doorman stopped the carriage and asked the coachman if he had an invitation to enter the mansion.
The chariot shook his head and said that he was just sending the guests behind him.
The doorman came to the carriage where Cavour was again, opened the door of the carriage and asked Prime Minister Cavour, "Please show me your invitation!"
"I don't have an invitation!" Cavour shook his head in response to the doorman, and then continued, "However, I would like you to report to Princess Mathilde on my behalf, and say that the Prime Minister of the Kingdom of Sardinia, Camilo. Cavour is here!"
After hearing that the fat man in front of him was the prime minister of a country, the doorman immediately became solemn, "Please wait!"
After saying that, the doorman turned around and followed the path to the gate of the mansion.
After entering the mansion, the doorman quickly informed the housekeeper of Prime Minister Cavour's arrival, and then the butler carefully pushed open the door and entered the room where Princess Mathilde was.
At this moment, Princess Mathilde was exchanging literature with a group of French literati, critics, and poets, and the appearance of the butler made everyone present stunned for a moment.
Mathilde, who was the hostess of the mansion, smiled and said to everyone present after seeing the butler break in, "Please allow me to be absent!"
Immediately afterwards, Mathilde left the salon for a while, and went to the room with the butler, and asked with a straight face, "What's the matter?"
"Your Highness said that the Prime Minister of Sardinia, Gafu, is standing outside the mansion, asking to meet you!" The butler responded to Princess Mathilde in a clear and coherent manner.
"Cavour?" Princess Mathilde frowned slightly, and then muttered quietly, "How did he come to Paris so soon!"
"Your Highness, should we let him in!" Seeing that Princess Mathilde was unhappy, the butler cautiously asked.
Mathilde stood still and thought about it, although she wanted to help Cavour, an old friend, the Emperor and Empress had made a clear decision on this issue, and even Mathilde was disobedient.
Princess Mathilde shook her head and replied to the butler, "Forget it! The purpose of his coming here must be for me to help him, and it's better that I don't see him!
Wait a while, and you will go and tell him that the problems of the Kingdom of Sardinia are not problems that can be solved by my intercession
, let him die this heart!
And if he gives you a gift, you will refuse it for me!"
"Yes! Your Highness!" The butler replied to Princess Mathilde.
Immediately afterwards, the butler himself arrived at the gate of the mansion and repeated to Cavour what Princess Mathilde had said.
Cavour couldn't help but have a dejected expression on his face after hearing that Princess Mathilde was reluctant to get involved in such things.
Unexpectedly, even the emperor's sister has concerns.
"I see!" Cavour smiled reluctantly, and after a few seconds, he regained his strength, and then pulled out a beautiful little box and gave it to the butler, "Please give this gift to Her Royal Highness Princess Mathilde on my behalf!"
Seeing this, the butler shook his head and responded to Cavour, "Mr. Cavour, we won't accept the gift, you better take it back!"
Cavour's mood fell to the bottom even more, if Princess Mathilde did not accept gifts, then it was equivalent to a little possibility of turning around.
"Then I'll take my leave!" Cavour had no choice but to respond dryly to the butler.
"Then I won't send you!" The butler didn't mean anything polite, and responded to Cavour bluntly.
Away from Mathilde's Mansion, Cavour thought briefly for a moment, then beckoned a carriage again.
This time, Cavour is heading to the Ministry of the Interior.
Arriving at Cavour, near the Ministry of the Interior, he stepped straight into the Interior building, where he was led by the Secretary of State for the Interior to find the Secretary of State for the Interior, Pessini.
"Chancellor Pesini!" Prime Minister Cavour said to Pesini in a slight whisper.
"Lord Cavour, what are you looking for me?"
Even though Pesini knew what Cavour was here for, he replied to Pessini as if he didn't know anything.
"Mr. Persini, I would like to implore you to save Sardinia!" Cavour said as he placed the gift in his arms in front of Pessini.
Pesini looked at the beautifully packaged gift box, and a look of greed flashed in her eyes.
Judging from the appearance of the gift box alone, the contents of the gift box must be good.
It's just that Pesini knows that some gifts are okay to pick up, and some things are hot to pick up.
Cavour's gifts are now in the hot category.
When it comes to hot gifts, Pessini has always turned away.
So Pesini said to Cavour with a straight face, "What do you mean, Mr. Cavour!
Are you going to bribe with money?"
A flash of surprise flashed across Garfuld's face, and he hurriedly pushed the gift in front of Pessini, and then explained, "Minister Pessini, this is not a valuable item, so it is not a bribe!"
It's just a testament to our friendship!"
"Monsieur Cavour, I am very touched that you were able to come and meet me the day after you arrived in Paris!
Gifts or something, you don't need it! True friendship doesn't need a gift at all to sustain it!" Pessini pushed the gift back again, and said righteously.
"In that case, then I'll take it back!" Prime Minister Cavour had no choice but to return the gift again.
Cavour then asks Pesini about Orsini the Kingkiller.
Pesini told Cavour all the "information" (true and false) and then blamed Cavour: "You kingdom of Sardinia is really ...... Is there really any collusion between you and those guys?"
"Nope! Nope!" Prime Minister Cavour flatly denied, "Orsiny's ideas are very different from ours, how can I support them!"
"Since you don't support them, then you should agree to the condition as soon as possible, and Your Majesty put forward this condition for your own good!!" Pesini responded to Cavour.
A wry smile appeared on Cavour's lips, and he knew he was
Pesini can't get through here either.
Cavour made another excuse and left the Ministry of the Interior for the next location......
After visiting several Imperial ministers and celebrities in succession, Cavour received the answer that he could not do anything about it.
It can be seen that everyone is unwilling to disobey the emperor on this issue.
Cavour's mood also became more and more disappointed as more and more celebrities were put on the table.
After paying a visit to a fifth Imperial Minister, Cavour gave up on continuing the visit and walked back to the embassy on his own.
"Your Excellency, Prime Minister, you're back!" Hearing movement outside the mansion, Della. Ambassador Rocca quickly opened the door when he heard the knock and spoke to Prime Minister Cavour.
"Yes!" Cavour smiled at Della. Ambassador Rocca, only this time the smile was more reluctant than the last time.
Della. Ambassador Roca is almost certain that Prime Minister Cavour, who runs a network in France, is also powerless to do anything about it.
"No one wants to accept my gifts!" Prime Minister Cavour was a little depressed, "Now they see the gift as if they saw the plague god."
"Your Excellency, this is also a natural thing!" Della. Ambassador Roca shrugged his shoulders and said, "Your Excellency, I can now be sure that the order from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs is probably the will of the two Majesies!
In other words, as long as the two Majesties are unwilling to change their minds, then it is useless for you to find anyone, Your Excellency!"
"Do you know the two Majesties have a *** position?" Cavour then asked Della. Ambassador Rocca said.
"Your Excellency, the newspapers in the Paris area will tell us the location of His Majesty and the Empress!" Della. Ambassador Rocca responded to Cavour.
After hearing this, Cavour strode to the desk in the living room and took today's newspaper in his hand.
The front page of Le Bonaparte explains the current location of the two Majestics, two of whom are located in the Loire Valley region in the middle of France to inspect French agriculture!
"I have to go there!"
