Bemini quickly made it clear to Jérôme Bonaparte that he would surely persuade the board members of the Banque de France to continue to contribute to the prosperity of the empire.

"That's good!" Jerome Bonaparte stretched his arms while yawning: "That's all I want to say, I just don't know if you two have anything else to add!"

Bemini and Manie shook their heads, indicating that they had nothing else to add.

"Then let's do it first!

' said Jerome Bonaparte politely to Bemini and Magnet.

Bemini and Magnet immediately got up and bowed to Jerome Bonaparte before leaving.

Shortly after Bemini and Magnet left, Jerome Bonaparte also got up and went to Queen Augusta's bedroom to communicate with his son Friedrich.

Time passed minute by minute, and soon night fell. Candles were lit in the corridors and rooms of the Tuin Leli Palace. The Tuin Leli Palace under the light of candles and golden utensils looked extraordinarily graceful and luxurious.

At this time, Jerome Bonaparte was sitting in a room while slowly placing Frederick on the carpeted floor with his hands, while listening quietly to the National Intelligence Service sitting opposite him Dean Marcel Yaleger's return.

After Marcel Yeruger finished talking about all the domestic issues, Jerome Bonaparte nodded and asked him about the Russian Empire.

"Is Duke Golitsyn still in touch with you?"

Marcel Yeruger shook his head and replied to Jerome Bonaparte: "The Duke of Golitsyn not only stopped contacting us, but also dispatched the third department to clear our hidden lines in St. Petersburg. .

Now the forces we have developed in St. Petersburg have been destroyed by Duke Golitsyn's unrelenting blow!

Only a handful of people escaped this sweep! "

As soon as Marcel Yeruger finished speaking, Jerome Bonaparte sighed and said to Marcel Yeruger, "Alas! Duke Golitsyn seems to be wary of us!"

Marcel Yeruger remained silent, and Jerome Bonaparte continued to ask: "By the way, can you now rebuild the organization that has collapsed in the Russian Empire!"

"Your Majesty, it may be difficult in a short period of time!" Marcel Yeruger replied.

I think the reason why their power in the Russian Empire was able to develop rapidly at the beginning was all due to the cooperation of Duke Golitsyn and the others.

The former anti-thief has now been turned into a regular, and they naturally need to find a collaborator again.

But collaborators, how can it be so easy to succeed.

What's more, the person they have to face is Duke Golitsyn, who once escaped the official pursuit of the Russian Empire as a rebel.

After any anti-thief in history has become a regular army, he will subconsciously prevent future people from going back to their own path and overthrowing them.

Therefore, Duke Golitsyn is more difficult than the tsarist government, and it is very difficult to develop suitable people under the eyes of Duke Golitsyn.

"Then don't worry!" Jerome Bonaparte said to Marcel Yeruger.

Just as Jerome Bonaparte was about to ask Marcel Yeruger other questions, the voice of "Yeah, ah" came from his ear.

Jerome Bonaparte had no choice but to take Friedrich in his arms again (he seemed to have forgotten that Friedrich was less than a month old), shaking his hand gently as a cradle, "Go and find out for me. one person!"

"Your Majesty, who?" Marcel Yeruger immediately asked Jerome Bonaparte.

"That's the guy I met on the train, and I don't know his name, but I'm sure that guy must have been a famous guy in Orleans.

And they should be familiar with Mignet and Thiers..." Jerome Bonaparte stated his impressions of the old man in turn, "By the way, Minister Wallevsky seems to be talking to the old man somewhere. have met!

You can go and question him carefully! "

"Your Majesty, do you need me to use a prop?" Marcel Yeruger asked Jerome Bonaparte politely.

Jerome Bonaparte chuckled lightly and replied to Marcel Yeruger, "No need! Just let him think about where he met before!"

"Okay!" Marcel Yeruger nodded and replied a word to Jerome Bonaparte.

"By the way, you have to find this person as soon as possible!" Jerome Bonaparte ordered again.

"After finding it, what should I do?" Marcel Yeruger continued to ask.

"Monitor him closely first to see who he is in close contact with!" Jerome Bonaparte said: "Remember not to disturb him, and don't follow him deliberately!"

"clear!"



In the next few days, Jérôme Bonaparte methodically accepted the work at hand from Augusta and Princess Mathilde, while preparing for the baptism.

That is to say, in the past few days, Queen Caterina of the Netherlands, Crown Prince Leopold of Belgium, Maximilian of the Austrian Empire, former King Louis of Bavaria... and others arrived at the Tuin Leli Palace in turn, Jerome Bonaparte They were arranged in different residences with Princess Augusta according to their closeness.

For example, Caterina of the Kingdom of the Netherlands was arranged to live with Queen Augusta, and the Crown Prince of Sweden, the Duke of Karnatha, and others were also arranged in the Tuinle Ri Palace and the Louvre…

The Belgian crown prince, the future "chopping party" Leopold II and the former king of Bavaria were arranged at the Louvre Hotel.

The arranged Jerome Bonaparte first met with Queen Caterina of the Netherlands in Queen Augusta's bedroom.

At this time, Queen Caterina was holding Friedrich and talking with Augusta with a smile on her face. The appearance of Jerome Bonaparte made Caterina turn her attention to him.

She glanced at Jerome Bonaparte first, then at Frederick Bonaparte, and nodded, "You father and son are so similar!"

not like me? Is it like the old king next door?

Jerome Bonaparte couldn't help but complain in his heart, but he still praised Queen Caterina with a smile on his face: "Cousin, you have such a good eye!"

After greeting each other for a while, Jerome Bonaparte and Queen Caterina officially entered the topic.

Queen Caterina first apologized for her husband's failure to come, and praised Jerome Bonaparte as a man who was no less than Emperor Napoleon.

Jerome Bonaparte humbly told Queen Caterina that he was still far from Emperor Napoleon.

Queen Caterina went on to say that, in her opinion, Jerome Bonaparte was only close to the former Emperor Napoleon, who was only about to expand his territory.

Jerome Bonaparte followed Queen Caterina's train of thought, and sighed at the same time: "Where is the opportunity to expand in Europe now? Many countries have always been very wary of France. The last time Luxembourg was If it were not for the fact that the French army had been stationed in the Principality of Luxembourg, it would have been difficult for them to take Luxembourg even if they signed an agreement with the Kingdom of the Netherlands.

Therefore, he was very grateful to Queen Caterina and King William for taking care of them, and he assured Queen Caterina that as long as the French Empire remained in Europe, he would not let anyone harm the Kingdom of the Netherlands.

After Caterina heard Jerome Bonaparte's assurance, she was like a reassurance pill, she believed that Jerome Bonaparte would not betray her faith on this issue.

Therefore, Queen Caterina boldly told Jerome Bonaparte that the territories that had been demarcated by European countries could not be moved, but some territories with disputes were good excuses.

If France is willing to help the country in the disputed territory to do justice, then the country that gets justice will give France what it believes in.

"Cousin, what do you mean by this sentence? Why can't I understand it!" Jerome Bonaparte asked Queen Caterina pretending to be indifferent.

"I mean we have some disputes with the Kingdom of Belgium!" Queen Caterina simply said, "So, I think Lancie can help us with this issue!"

"Cousin, haven't you already announced your abandonment of the Kingdom of Belgium?" Jerome Bonaparte asked with a puzzled expression on his face.

Although the Kingdom of the Netherlands and the Kingdom of Belgium were indeed one country before, the two were separated more than 20 years ago in 1830.

And in 1839 the Kingdom of the Netherlands also recognized the independence of the Kingdom of Belgium. (The assistance of the Kingdom of Orleans is of great importance)

Is it a bit too unkind to not recognize the independence of the Kingdom of Belgium today?

"If you give up, you can't get it back again?" Queen Caterina confidently said to Jerome Bonaparte: "The land in Belgium was originally obtained through territorial replacement, why do they say that independence means nothing? independent!"

Although Queen Katarina's words sounded a bit unreasonable at first, but in retrospect, it did make sense.

Although the independence of the Kingdom of Belgium was caused by the oppression of the Kingdom of the Netherlands, the subsequent independence movement was completed by some regular French troops under the banner of the Volunteer Army. (Father of Belgium)

If the Kingdom of Orleans still existed, Jérôme Bonaparte's brother-in-law, William, could only swallow his voice, and the entire Dutch government would not dare to have any thoughts about Belgium.

Now the kingdom of Orleans is gone, replaced by the second empire that is close to them.

The idea of ​​reconquering Belgium became hot in the Netherlands.

"Cousin... No, His Majesty Emperor Jerome Bonaparte!" Queen Caterina rubbed against Jerome with her honorary title.

"It's all in the same family, you should call me cousin!" Jerome Bonaparte hurriedly said to Caterina.

"Cousin, you don't want to see the remnants of the Orleans family occupy the position of the Belgian kingdom!"
