Received Franz. Joseph's order came to invite Jérôme. Bonaparte and Augusta's imperial lieutenants arrived in Turin and quickly found the Austrian ambassador stationed in Turin.

With the help of the Austrian ambassador, the Emperor's aide-de-camp arrived in Jérôme in the afternoon. Bonaparte and Augusta lived near the hotel.

Just as the military attaché and the Austrian ambassador were about to enter the hotel, they were stopped by two Sardinian soldiers guarding the door.

"Wait a minute! This hostel will not accept anyone in the near future!

If you need accommodation, please go elsewhere. The Sardinian soldier said to the Emperor's lieutenant and the Austrian ambassador.

The Emperor's lieutenant and the Austrian ambassador, who were stopped outside, hurriedly explained to the Sardinian soldiers, "We are not going to stay here!" We're here to find someone! ”

"Find someone!" The eyes of the Sardinian soldiers immediately became sharp, and the two soldiers carefully asked the emperor's lieutenant and the Austrian ambassador, "Who are you looking for?" ”

"I've heard that Jerome. Emperor Bonaparte and Empress Augusta stayed in this hotel! The Austrian ambassador replied to the Sardinian soldiers, and then stretched out his hand and introduced, "This one beside me is the aide-de-camp of the Austrian Emperor, and he has come here to deliver a message on the orders of the Austrian Emperor!" ”

"Aide-de-camp of the Austrian Emperor?" The Sardinian soldiers muttered quietly, and there was a hint of resentment in their eyes as they looked at the Emperor's aide-de-camp.

Seeing this, the Austrian ambassador, fearing that the emperor's lieutenant would be beaten at the door of the hotel, hurriedly reminded the group of Sardinian soldiers, "Don't mess around! If the emperor's adjutant is beaten, then it means that the relationship between the two of us is completely in a state of war!

When the time comes, your king will not let you go! ”

"Who are you?" The Sardinian soldiers' eyes changed slightly, and they turned their gaze to the Austrian ambassador.

The Austrian ambassador smiled at the corner of his mouth and introduced himself in a calm tone, "I am the diplomatic ambassador appointed by the Austrian Empire to your country!" ”

After listening to the Austrian ambassador's self-introduction, the Sardinian soldier was silent for a moment, and then said to the Austrian ambassador and the emperor's lieutenant, "Wait here for a while!" ”

After saying that, one of the soldiers entered the hotel, and after a while, a middle-aged man dressed in the uniform of a Sardinian officer appeared in front of the Austrian ambassador and the emperor's aide-de-camp, and after glancing at the Austrian ambassador, he came to him in three steps and two steps, and said in a humble manner, "Mr. Ambassador, you are here!" ”

"Take us to Jérôme. Your Majesty the Emperor Bonaparte! The Austrian ambassador did not want to talk nonsense for a moment, and immediately said a word to the Sardinian officer.

"It's a coincidence!" The Sardinian officer replied apologetically to the Austrian ambassador, "Neither the Emperor nor the Empress have no way to meet you now!" ”

"Why?" The Austrian ambassador and the emperor's lieutenant asked with a look of consternation on their faces at the same time.

"Because His Majesty the Emperor has been playing with His Majesty the Empress this morning, and he hasn't come back until now!" The Sardinian officer said slowly.

"Is there any way to find them?" The emperor's lieutenant asked the Sardinian officer.

The Sardinian officer shook his head, saying that they did not know where the emperor and empress were, and then asked the ambassador and his lieutenant if they would like to wait at the hotel for a while.

The Emperor's aide-de-camp and the Austrian ambassador looked at each other, and then the ambassador asked, "What do you think?" ”

The emperor's lieutenant shrugged his shoulders and replied helplessly to the Austrian ambassador, "What else!" I can only wait! ”

"Please, two of you!" The Sardinian officer smiled and invited the Emperor's lieutenant and the Austrian ambassador into the hotel, glaring at the Sardinian soldier beside him.

After the Emperor's aide-de-camp and the Austrian ambassador entered the hotel, the Sardinian soldiers guarding the hotel door quickly went to the Royal Palace of Turin to report the arrival of the Aide-de-camp of the Austrian Emperor at the Royal Palace of Turin.

Received the message of Victor. A look of surprise appeared on Yin Manuel II's face, and he couldn't help but say to himself, "When did they come?" ”

Now Victor. The soldiers beside Yin Manuel II thought that Victor. Yin Manuel II was questioning him and he hurried to Victor. Yin Manuel II replied repeatedly, "Your Majesty, they have just come!" ”

"That's not what I meant!" Victor. Yin Manuel II frowned slightly, then waved his hand and replied to the soldier, "You did a good job!" Let's go back first! ”

"Yes! Your Majesty! "The soldier left Victor. The office of Yin Manuel II.

Victor alone in the office. Yin Manuel II thought about it for a long time, and finally decided to find someone to come and discuss.

So, Victor. Yin Manuel summoned his chief of chamberlain and sent him to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs to invite Foreign Secretary Cavour over.

"Your Majesty, shouldn't you inform the Prime Minister of this kind of thing?" The army-born chief squire cautiously asked Victor. A sentence from Yin Manuel II.

Victor. Yin Manuel II glanced at the attendant, and after a long time, he said leisurely, "That's right! By the way, also inform Prime Minister Ramamour!

By the way, don't tell them in advance why you called them over! ”

The squire who had been under great pressure breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, and he immediately asked Victor. Yin Manuel II bowed and said, "Yes, Your Majesty!" ”

After the chief attendant left, Victor. Yin Manuel II continued to sit alone in his office and think.

After a long time, Foreign Secretary Cavour and Prime Minister Ramamour arrived in Victor. The office of Yin Manuel II.

"How did you come together?" Victor. When Men Manuel II questioned Cavour and Ramamor, he remembered that he had only sent the chief attendant to inform them, and it was supposed that the two would arrive at different times.

"Maybe it's because of the carriage!" Cavour snorted, then quickly changed the subject and asked, "Your Majesty, do you have any orders for you to have the chief attendant call us over?" ”

"Your Majesty, what do you command?" Ramamor also asked Victor. Yin Manuel II said.

"You two sit down first!" Victor. Yin Manuel II invited Cavour to sit down with Ramamour.

Wait until they're all seated, Victor. Yin Manuel II told them the news of the arrival of the Austrian emperor's lieutenant in Turin.

Ramamour and Cavour also had surprised expressions on their faces when they heard the news, apparently neither of them had received any news of the arrival of the Emperor's lieutenant.

After a brief moment of surprise, Cavour was the first to ask, "Your Majesty, has the Aide-de-camp of the Austrian Emperor come to visit you?" ”

Victor. Yin Manuel II shook his head and said to Cavour, "No! I am also from protecting Jérôme. The soldiers of Bonaparte and Augusta received the news of the arrival of the emperor's lieutenant! ”

"So it seems! The purpose of the Emperor's aide-de-camp was only to visit Jérôme. Your Majesty Bonaparte! Cavour concluded.

"Humph! This adjutant is so blind! Ramamour snorted, "He's only interested in visiting Jérôme. Your Majesty the Emperor Bonaparte, and forgot to interview Your Majesty! ”

Victor. A hint of annoyance also flashed in the eyes of Yin Manuel II. The arrogant attitude of Adjutant Joseph really upset him.

"Your Majesty, I think the adjutant should have come this time to tell Jérôme. His Majesty the Emperor Bonaparte, their Emperor Franz. News of Joseph's arrival in Milan!

】

At the same time invited Jérôme. His Majesty Bonaparte went to Milan to talk! Cavour continued to analyze carefully.

Cavour's analysis with Victor. Yin Manuel II had the same thoughts, and he immediately asked Cavour, "Cavour, what do you think we should do next?" ”

"Your Majesty, what do you want to do?" Cavour seriously said to Victor. Yin Manuel II asked.

"I mean, do we have a chance to join that peace talks!" Victor. Yin Manuel II simply spread out and asked Cavour.

Cavour shook his head and smiled wryly at Victor. Yin Manuel II responded, "Your Majesty, it will be difficult for us to join in that conversation!" ”

"Is it really possible at all?" Victor. Yin Manuel II reluctantly said to Cavour.

Despite the fact that Victor. Yin Manuel II knew it was impossible, but he still wanted to give it a try, because no monarch likes to put the fate of his country in the hands of other countries.

"Your Majesty, we have no hope of victory over the Austrian Empire except for the Kingdom of Sardinia!" Cavour vs. Victor. Yin Manuel II responded, "For the time being, we can only hope for Jérôme. His Majesty Bonaparte will be able to come to an agreement with the Austrian Empire on our behalf as soon as possible! ”

"Nasavoyin and Nice ......" Victor. Yin Manuel II asked Cavourd again about it.

Cavfull suddenly felt speechless for a while, and saw that Jérôme. Emperor Bonaparte was determined to take Savoyin and Nice completely, and his own monarch even wanted to take these two lands under the tiger of the French Empire.

Cavour really didn't know what to say about Victor. Is Yin Manuel II lacking heart, or is he dead.

"Your Majesty, when we promised the French Empire to solve this crisis, the price we paid was Savoyin and Nice!" Cavour vs. Victor. Yin Manuel II reminded him.

"The price France pays is not at all proportional to the benefits he receives! I even suspect that this was a farce directed and staged by the French and Austrian empires! "Victor. Yin Manuel II poured bitter waterways.

Cavour and Ramamour were shocked when they heard this, and they spoke in unison to Victor. "Your Majesty, it is best not to speculate until there is substantial evidence!" ”
