Under the leadership of Pessini, Attorney General Rouet once again entered the Elysee Palace, which he was too familiar with.

Passing through the familiar living room, stepping up the stairs covered with red Ottoman wool blankets, and walking slowly in the corridor, Rouet and Pessini were warmly greeted by the servants from the Elysee Palace, and walked along the corridor to the study.

At the door of the study, Roue separated from Pessini. Standing alone in front of the door of the study, he looked at the brown-red door in front of him, took a deep breath, and knocked on the door of the study lightly.

"Come in!" Rue's familiar voice came from inside, with a slight Italian accent in his voice.

After getting permission, Roue cautiously opened the door of the study, looked inside the door, and then looked into the eyes of the people in the study.

"Come in! Minister Rouet!" Jerome Bonaparte with a smile beckoned to Rouet outside the door.

"Your Majesty!" Rouet, who entered the room, closed the door and bowed to Jerome Bonaparte to show respect.

"There is no need to be so restrained! Come here!" said Jerome Bonaparte to Rouet in an easy-going manner.

At the invitation of Gérôme Bonaparte, Rouet sat directly opposite Gérôme Bonaparte, and the rich aroma of coffee was placed on the round table.

"Your Majesty, I don't know what you asked me to come here for!" Rouet asked Jerome Bonaparte humbly. He understood that the reason why he was able to hold a high position was all because of the simplicity of the president, otherwise he would not govern at all. How could an experienced person be the Minister of Justice, even if Thiers, who he had longed for at the beginning, also went from the secretary to the minister to the position of the minister step by step.

Thiers? How the **** did I forget this!

Minister Rouet suddenly remembered that Thiers had visited him a few days earlier, and had said a few words to him that were not nutritious.

At that time, I didn't take it to heart, so I didn't think about it as such a big thing.

Looking back now, it was a blatant "betrayal".

Thinking of this, Roue had to swallow.

"Nothing major happened recently in the Ministry of Justice!" Jerome Bonaparte did not reply to Rouais immediately, but spoke to him in a casual tone.

"Nothing big happened at the Ministry of Justice, it's nothing more than a summary of the problems of the courts around the world!" Rouet responded to Jerome Bonaparte with a natural tone.

"Oh? Is it?" Jerome Bonaparte smiled and said nothing.

"However, there is a personal matter! I need to report to you!" Minister Rouet said cautiously to Jerome Bonaparte.

"Minister Rouet, I don't care about your personal feelings at all! As long as it doesn't affect the functioning of the country!" Jerome Bonaparte said casually.

"I think it is necessary to report this matter to you!" Rouet bite the bullet and responded to Jerome Bonaparte.

"Then say it!" Jerome Bonaparte responded with a solemn expression.

"That's it! The Senator Thiers came to test me in the name of a visit a few days ago!" said Rouet humbly to Jerome Bonaparte.

"Huh? That's an interesting thing!" Jerome Bonaparte stroked his smooth lower jaw with an interesting expression: "You agree?"

"Your Majesty's promotion of me is something I will never forget! I will never join another camp!" Rouais responded decisively to Jerome Bonaparte, "Loyalty to the Bonaparte family is the creed I have believed in all my life. !"

"Yeah! Your loyalty will be rewarded accordingly!" Jerome Bonaparte nodded and smiled again, he believed that Rouet was not only because he did not betray the Bonaparte family in history, but also based on interests Because of the factors, he has already offered the Minister of Justice's bargaining chip to win over Rouet. If Thiers wants to win over him, he can only make Rouet prime minister or support him as president.

Neither of these two conditions, however, could be fulfilled by Thiers, since there were also Thiers' henchmen within the Party of Order.

Thiers could not have given priority to an outsider without satisfying his henchmen.

So after Marcel Yerouger reported to Jerome Bonaparte about Rouet's behavior, Jerome Bonaparte didn't take it to heart, he kept waiting for Rouet to take the initiative to joke about the situation.

"Yes! Your Majesty!" Eugene Rouet, who received Jerome Bonaparte's forgiveness, finally sighed in relief, and also sounded a warning bell for himself in his heart.

"By the way, I want to ask you about the Constitution of the Second Republic, how should the new proposal be judged after it conflicts with the old constitution?" Jerome Bonaparte asked Eugene Rouet.

"This..." Eugène Rouet thought for a moment, then slowly said: "Because the French Republic is in its infancy, there is no clear definition of the subordination of the old and new constitutions."

"In other words, two constitutions can be used at the same time?" Jerome Bonaparte showed a meaningful smile.

Unexpectedly, the constitution of the Second French Republic is similar to that of the United States of America on the other side of the ocean. The implementation of the new constitution does not mean that the old constitution will be abolished. If the old and new constitutions are used together, it will give the president a lot of room for mediation.

"That's right!" replied Eugène Rouet unquestionably to Jerome Bonaparte: "However, the old constitutions are generally not used by the choice of habit!"

"They're still legal, right!" said Jerome Bonaparte.

"It has legal effect!" Roue answered affirmatively, he was somewhat confused about what the president wanted to do.

"Minister Rouet, the senator of Thiers came to me just now..." Jerome Bonaparte told Eugene Rouet what Thiers had just told him.

"Your Majesty, they want to restrict you by restricting universal suffrage!" Eugene Rouet anxiously reminded Jerome Bonaparte after listening to the whole conversation between Thiers and Jerome Bonaparte.

"I know!" Jerome Bonaparte calmly took a sip of his coffee, then smiled and said, "If they don't do this, how can they let them violate the Constitution?"

"A violation of the Constitution?" Eugene Rouet instantly understood what Jerome Bonaparte meant: "You deliberately condone them?"

"That's right!" Jerome Bonaparte nodded, with a look of rebelliousness in his eyes: "What we have to do now is to drive the Parliament to the edge of the cliff, and then I will cut their ropes with my own hands and send them down!"

"Your Majesty!" Eugène Rouet looked at Jerome Bonaparte excitedly, he knew that once the parliament was completely kicked to the ground by the president, the whole of France would no longer be able to restrain the existence of the president, and they would completely control the whole of France .

"Rouet, I need your help to sort out the indictment of the Legislative Assembly! Then, we will be of great use!" Jerome Bonaparte said to Eugene Rouet.

"Yes! Your Majesty..."

...

November 29, 1849.

Under the warm "invitation" of Jérôme Bonaparte, most of the bankers in Paris and middle and high-level military officers gathered together to participate in the ball ceremony hosted by the president.

Among them were Baron Alphonse de Rothschild, the Minister of Finance of Achilfold, the banker Magne, the banker Adolf Schneider, the banker brother Emile Perel and the Isaac Perel brothers...

The military side includes half of the generals in Paris and generals above the Paris school level. Commander Changarnier, his adjutant Nomaille, Minister Reign, and Brigadier General Canrobert, the second brigade commander of the 1st Paris Division, are all present. Inside!

The splendid living room of the Elysee Palace was crowded with people, and there were bright lights everywhere. Bankers were dressed in elegant clothes, and they carried their beautifully dressed wives through the banquet. The soldiers changed into military uniforms full of medals. The officers in Paris also deliberately brought their wives with jewels, and the whole hall was extremely noisy. Amid the noise, the band's music played.

In the high-pitched music, all the noise came to an abrupt end, and everyone's eyes turned to the second floor of the hall.

Jerome Bonaparte, dressed in a Lev dress and a Napoleon cap, walked slowly down the steps, while beside him was Mathiere in a light blue low bust dress with a delicate jewelry hanging on his chest Princess De~www.novelhall.com~ When Jerome Bonaparte and Mathilde walked down the last step together, Jerome Bonaparte said: "Everyone thank you for being able to attend my ball, please enjoy Enjoy the moment of joy!"

After speaking, Jerome Bonaparte bowed slightly to everyone present.

The music sounded again, and Alphonse de Rothschild, Emile Perel and other little-known bankers seemed to have received some news in advance, and they walked in one direction.

"It seems that Your Excellency the President can't wait to start!" Changarnier, who was standing in the corner of the ball, sighed with emotion as he looked at the bankers who left early.

"Commander, what is the president going to do?" Nomaille, who followed Changarnier, asked.

"Nothing!" Changarnier shook his head.

The bankers came to a small house in the Elysee Palace together, they sat around a round table, then looked at each other without saying a word.

The door opened again, and Jerome Bonaparte entered the room and sat down.

Jerome Bonaparte, who just sat down, did not talk nonsense, but said directly: "You are all leaders of the country, and I don't want to talk too much nonsense! I hope you can have a good time for the upcoming military parade. Donate with love!"

As soon as this statement came out, all the quasi-Bonapartist bankers who were close to Jerome Bonaparte, such as Foulder, Magnet, the Perel brothers, and Adolphe Schneider, all changed their colors.

Where the President said that it is a love donation, it is clearly an apportionment.

Although the apportioned money is just a drop in the bucket for them, the president's approach really doesn't respect them enough.
