Jerome Bonaparte had a long conversation with Pius IX, during which Pius IX asked about the existing questions in Rome, and Jerome Bonaparte did his best to answer Pius IX one by one.

When night fell, at the invitation of Pius IX, Jerome Bonaparte felt at home. At the banquet, Pius IX talked to Jerome Bonaparte about many things about the emperor's army in those days. I felt that if the emperor hadn't failed, he might have stayed in the French army, and maybe he could have been a general.

Jerome Bonaparte complimented that Pius IX's current achievements are far beyond the level of French generals.

The two with their own thoughts left in "Laughter".

Jerome Bonaparte, who left the banquet hall of the Pontifical Palace, sat on a carriage specially prepared for him by Pius IX under the guidance of the priest.

The carriage slowly drove away from the Vatican Palace. Jerome Bonaparte, who was half lying in the carriage, recalled what he had done today, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

She has already done everything she can, and how the Papal State will go in the future depends on Pius IX himself.

……

On the other side of the Vatican Palace, Pope Pius IX also did not relax.

Taking advantage of the fact that it was not completely dark, he urgently summoned a group of cardinals loyal to him, Bishop Muzarelli and the future first Prime Minister of the Papal State, Pererino Rossi.

[Pererino Rossi: From July 13, 1787 to November 16, 1848, Italian economist, statesman, lawyer, served as the French ambassador to the Papal States during the July Dynasty At the invitation of Pope Pius IX to be the first Prime Minister of the Papal State, he was assassinated in the Palais des Instruments on November 16. 】

The cardinals who were forcibly awakened by Pius IX listened to the Pope's "admonition" with their sleepy eyes.

The current situation is really not the time to go into detail. Pius IX can only make a long story short and tell the cardinals the suggestion put forward by Jerome Bonaparte.

The infighting cardinals who have been immersed in the religious world for a long time are not very good at the struggle of the secular world. They turned their attention to Pererino Rossi, who was recently hired by the Pope.

Pererino Rossi listened carefully to what Pius IX said, and after thinking for a long time, he said: "Your Majesty, I think this is feasible! We can form a party loyal to the Pope like France, and in the election one A venerable clergyman!"

Pererino Rossi's words did not resonate silently with the cardinals, and certainly did not arouse their opposition. They were like a personal sculpture waiting for Pius IX's response.

"Let's do this first! However, we have to do it step by step. Let's start with the economic year!" Pius IX, who has not completely lost his will to reform, decided to try it first. If the reform falls into deep water, he will return by himself. .

With the "unanimous" consent of the cardinals and the approval of the Pope, the Papal State once again launched a vigorous reform in order to ease social conflicts.

On June 1, Pius IX solemnly preached in the St. Petersburg church and announced why he responded to the voices of the pope, which is expected to begin reforms in July.

All of Rome cheered for a while, and almost everyone cheered for the Pope's "enlightenment", and the demonstrations disappeared overnight.

Moderate liberals, ultra-liberals and even republicans are all waiting for the papal reformation to begin.

Jerome Bonaparte just watched Rome's every move with a cold eye and continued to write the unfinished "Catholic Economic Ethics".

On June 10, two letters from France made Jerome Bonaparte very excited.

The people who wrote the letter were Pessini and Rourmaet. In the letter, Persini told Jerome Bonaparte about the funeral of his cousin Louis Napoleon.

After the body of Louis Napoleon entered France, it was admired by the French people. There was an endless stream of people from Calais to France to see him off. On the way, major newspapers like sharks smelling blood were full of firepower to praise Louis Napoleon. "Great achievement".

After the body arrived in the Seine, it was welcomed back by the ruling Lamartine and Francois Arago. All the citizens of Paris came to watch, and there was unprecedented harmony in Paris.

Under the auspices of Lamartine and Arago, the remains of Louis Napoleon, named after the republican hero, were placed next to the remains of the Roman king at Invalides.

After the funeral, the whole of Paris knew the legendary Prince Louis Napoleon.

In Rouet's letter, Jerome Bonaparte learned about the dynamics of Bonaparte's followers, as well as about his two cousins ​​and his father, the old Jerome Bonaparte.

Rouet vaguely pointed out that after the body of Louis Napoleon was returned, his cousin Pierre Bonaparte wanted to replace him as the new leader of the Bonaparte family~www.novelhall.com~ due to the lack of availability With the approval of the Bonapartists, coupled with the opposition of his father Gerome the Elder and his sister Mathilde, his cousin could only retreat and join Lucien Murat in the election.

Since then, two members of the Bonaparte family (father Jérôme the Elder, cousin Pierre Bonaparte) have run for election and become MPs, their names and some heroic events in the United Kingdom are also in the coffee of Paris The museum spread [Rouet's suggestion], and even the literary salon also spread his name [the credit of my sister Mathilde].

On the day he wrote the letter (June 4th), his votes in the Seine had already ranked fourth in the Seine, not far from Thiers, who came in third. Yere used bribe money to cheat to win votes], and in Corsica, Ronne, and Baja Charente, his own votes were overwhelmingly won, which meant that he could do it if he wanted to. Enter the French land in a grand manner as a member of these three regions.

Lamartine's agreement could not impose any constraints on him at all.

However, Jerome Bonaparte would not do this, he had to abide by the agreement with Lamartine.

Even if Lamartine's time in power is numbered.

Jerome Bonaparte, who had read the envelopes of Persini and Rouet, let out a long breath, shook his head and said to himself, "Alas! The Bonaparte family!"

After speaking, he took out the scratch paper from the drawer and wrote letters to Pessini and Rue respectively.

After the two letters were bound, Jérôme Bonaparte called Letty over, and handed the two letters to Letty, and then handed the bill of 300,000 francs to Letty, asking him to remit with the envelope. Fund Paris for the activities of the Bonapartists.
