Jerome Bonaparte, who met his "relatives" in Rome, did not choose to continue riding the carriage, but entered the city of Rome on foot with Lucien Louis.

"Lucien, when did you enter the church! How come I don't know anything!" Jerome Bonaparte looked at Lucien Louis' outfit and asked curiously.

"Uncle Jerome, we haven't seen each other for nearly 4 years!" Lucien-Louis reminded Jerome Bonaparte, and then explained: "I was baptized into the church in 1844, and now I'm studying for a doctorate in theology!"

Universities in the 19th century did not have three levels: undergraduate, master, and doctorate, which meant that talented people could skip grades to study.

"A 20-year-old doctor of theology! It seems that you are going to become the most learned person in the Bonaparte family!" Jerome Bonaparte praised Lucien Louis with a thumbs up.

Although the ability of the entire Bonaparte family has never been linked to education, education is always a stepping stone.

Just like his deceased cousin, Louis Napoleon, who was self-taught, he kept saying that if he hadn't been in prison, he would have to get a doctorate.

Jerome Bonaparte also did not go to school for a day, and most of his knowledge came from private tutoring.

"No!" Lucio Louis waved his hand shyly and said, "I still have a year to graduate!"

"That's great too!" Jerome Bonaparte did not shy away from his praise.

"By the way, Uncle Jerome! Aren't you supposed to stay in London with Uncle Louis (Louis Napoleon)? How did you come to Rome?" Lucien Louis looked at Jerome Bona in confusion. bar.

"Huh?" Jerome Bonaparte was stunned and said, "Has Uncle Pierre not replied to you recently?"

[Pierre Napoleon Bonaparte: From 1815 to 1881, the third son of Lucien Bonaparte, member of the Second Republic, member of the Senate of the Second Empire. 】

"Uncle Pierre and his father have not communicated for a long time! Did something happen?" Lucien Louis asked again.

"Alas!" Jerome Bonaparte sighed, his cousin Charles Lucien Bonaparte was really not a sociable person, not only did his cousin (the late Napoleon III) have a bad relationship with him Well, even my own brothers are not in contact with each other: "My cousin, your uncle Louis Napoleon died in London!"

Lucien Bonaparte showed a sad expression, drew a standard prayer gesture on his chest, and said reverently, "May God bless Uncle Louis who is far away in heaven!"

"As for why I'm here..." Jerome Bonaparte glanced at Lucien-Louis after hesitating for a moment and said, "Lucien, can I trust you?"

Lucien Louis said with a serious expression: "I swear by the surname of my honorable Bonaparte and the name of God!"

"Okay!" Jerome Bonaparte told Lucien Louis the purpose of his visit: "The purpose of my visit this time is to meet His Majesty the Pope!"

"An audience with His Majesty the Pope?" Lucien Louis repeated again.

"That's right!" Jerome Bonaparte pointed to the north and said to Lucien-Louis: "The general election of the French Republic is not coming! I need the appeal of His Majesty the Pope!"

"Uncle Jerome, haven't you given up yet?" Lucien Louis instantly understood what Jerome Bonaparte meant. Uncle Jerome and the others were still working hard for France.

"How can we give up! We are only one step away from our eyes!" Jerome Bonaparte nodded, clenched his fists and said, "As long as we seize the opportunity and seize the throne of France! The entire Bonaparte family will It will benefit from it, your uncles will be paid handsomely, and you…”

Jerome Bonaparte pointed at Lucien Louis and tempted: "You will become a cardinal of Rome at the fastest speed, and you can even become God's spokesman on earth. (The Pope

"Cardinal!" Lucien Louis snorted a little harder. For every member of the church system, money is not the most important thing. The red cardinal's robe is their eternal pursuit. After the pursuit of rights, it is understandable to appropriately pursue money.

Of course, Lucien Louis has no desire to pursue money, he just wants to benefit more people after serving as a cardinal.

"What can I do?" Lucien Louis of course understood that everything in this world is clearly priced, and if you want to become a cardinal, you will naturally have to pay a corresponding price.

"Does your theology teacher have any connection with the Pope?" Jerome Bonaparte asked while holding a blind cat and touching a dead mouse. UU Reading www.uukanshu.com

If it really doesn't work, Jerome Bonaparte can only consider going to the Church of Rome to apply.

Pope Pius IX should meet him.

"My teacher is the teacher of the diocese's major seminary... I'll go and ask him!" Lucien Bonaparte was not sure that his teacher could climb to His Majesty the Pope.

After all, according to the promotion system of priests, his teacher needs to go further to become the bishop of the diocese near Milan, and then he can be promoted to a cardinal by the pope.

"Well! It's troublesome!" Jerome Bonaparte responded.

Jerome Bonaparte and Lucien Louis chatted while walking and soon came to the Piazza Venezia.

"Just come here!" Jerome Bonaparte, who saw that he was getting closer and closer to the Palace of Bonaparte, said to Lucien Louis.

[Palace of Bonaparte: It was purchased by Lucien Bonaparte for the retirement area of ​​Letizia. In 1823, Jerome Napoleon also briefly lived in the country. 】

"Uncle Jerome, won't you come and have a seat?" Lucien Louis said to Jerome Bonaparte, pointing to the southwest of Piazza Venezia.

Jerome Bonaparte shook his head and refused: "Forget it! Your father doesn't want to mix with us! And don't tell your father, I'm in Rome!"

Since the death of Lucien Bonaparte (Napoleon's younger brother, President of the House of Five Hundreds), Charles Bonaparte has parted ways with Louis Napoleon's Cabal.

If I let my cousin know that he is chasing his second son to pave the way for the ambitions of the Bonaparte family, I am afraid that my cousin will not be able to resist and kill him directly.

Jerome Bonaparte would never have disturbed the Charles family if he hadn't happened to meet Lucien-Louis.
