Chapter 653: Minister and Princess

When the battle report from Mount Inkerman reached the Sevastopol headquarters, the entire headquarters began to rejoice.

In the midst of this jubilation, Jerome Bonaparte personally came to the telegraph office set up in Sevastopol and couldn't wait to hand over the telegraph document written by himself to the telegraph operator: "Quick! Immediately send this A telegram to France!"

In the face of Jerome Bonaparte's request, the telegraph operator did not dare to start his work immediately without the slightest negligence.

After a while, a ticking sound came from the telegraph office, and then after about 40 minutes, the ticking stopped.

The telegraph operator told Jerome Bonaparte respectfully that the telegram would arrive in Paris in about two hours.

"You did a great job!" Jerome Bonaparte smiled and nodded, then turned to leave.



Paris in two hours.

Since Jérôme Bonaparte went to Sevastopol, Paris has changed from being loose on the outside and tight on the inside to being tight on the outside and tight on the inside.

The imperial bureaucrats headed by Rue and the imperial soldiers headed by Niel were secretly under the command of Queen Augusta's "Regency Council" (there was no regency committee in name, only Queen Augusta supervising the country). Monitor every move of the opposition and the army in the suburbs.

A little bit of trouble will be discovered and arrested by those pervasive spies.

Even members of the Bonaparte family were no exception.

Since Jerome Bonaparte left until now, several members of the Bonaparte family have been secretly detained, and nearly a hundred people have been deported.

Queen Augusta frightened the subversives lurking in the dark corners of Paris with her iron and **** wrists. For the first time, they learned that Queen Augusta not only had the mercy of an angel, but also possessed the means of thunder.

Therefore, those who want to make big news while Jerome Bonaparte is no longer in Paris have to lurch again and wait for the right time.

Of course, Queen Augusta's rule in Paris was not just about blood and high pressure.

In some areas, Queen Augusta still gave them a certain amount of space, and the newspaper industry is obviously a typical example.

During the time when Jerome Bonaparte was away, Queen Augusta loosened up the press to a certain extent, allowing them to publish some foreign current affairs evaluations, as long as they did not attack the imperial government with straight balls. Newspapers that write lace news are also no longer cracking down hard.

Every day, the people of Paris can read some lace news about **** aristocrats in the newspapers, and see the comments of foreign colonels and **** military enthusiasts about the coalition's actions in Sevastopol.

Paris has been running smoothly under the Council of Regents.

When the telegram from Sevastopol arrived at the telegraph office under the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, the director of the telegraph office immediately handed it over to the new minister, Valewski, who was still working in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.

After reading the contents of the telegram, Wallevsky immediately showed a look of joy on his face. He got up and patted the shoulder of the telegraph chief who came to report: "You did a good job!"

"This is what I should do!" The director responded with sincerity.

Afterwards, Wallewski ordered the foreign ministry to prepare a carriage, and he was going to Speaker Pius' house.

The Ministry of Foreign Affairs quickly prepared a carriage for Wallevsky. The carriage carried Wallevsky and quickly arrived at the door of Speaker Bijou's house.

"Dong dong dong!"

Along with three crisp knocks on the door, a voice came from the other end of the door: "Who?"

"I'm Wallevsky! Is Speaker Bijo at home?" Wallevsky asked softly.

The door slowly opened, and a servant-like man appeared in front of Wallevsky with a kerosene lamp and respectfully saluted Wallevsky, "Minister Wallevsky!"

"Has Speaker Bijou fell asleep?" Wallevsky asked, looking at the pitch-dark room behind the servant.

"Not yet!" The servant shook his head and said, "The old master is still working in the study!"

"Then can I trouble you to tell me!" Wallevsky asked modestly.

"I'll take you there!" the servant replied to Wallevsky.

"That's troublesome!" Wallevsky nodded and responded to the servant.

Under the leadership of the servant, Wallevsky arrived at a room on the second floor.

The servant knocked on the door softly, and Speaker Biao's voice appeared on the other side of the door: "Come in!"

The servant reached out and invited Wallewski to enter the room, Wallewski pushed open the door and entered.

At this time, Speaker Bijo, who was still working with reading glasses, raised his head and glanced at the visitor. He stretched out his hand and invited him with a smile, "So it's Minister Wallevsky, please take a seat!"

Wallevsky sat directly opposite Speaker Biao, and Biao asked again, "I don't know why Minister Wallevsky is visiting late at night!"

"Your Excellency Björn, please read!" Wallevsky handed the folded telegram to Björn.

Biao opened the telegram, glanced at the contents of the telegram, and said excitedly, "Okay!"

Then, Speaker Biao paused and continued to ask, "By the way, have you told Her Majesty the Queen about this?"

Wallewski shook his head and said, "Her Majesty the Queen is approaching her due date, so I don't dare to disturb it rashly!"

"What about Princess Mathilde?" Speaker Bijo asked again?

"Not yet!" Wallevsky told Biao that he came to Speaker Biao as soon as he received the telegram.

"You're confused!" Speaker Björn rebuked Valewski with hatred: "This kind of thing should be reported to Queen Augusta first! If Queen Augusta has something to do, it should also be reported to Mather. Princess De report.

Why did you come directly to this old man like me! If he meets someone who doesn't know it, what will he think about it! His Majesty the Emperor in Sevastopol knew, what would he think? "

Wallewski, who was dazzled by joy, instantly realized his political mistakes. After receiving the information, he should report to Her Majesty (Queen) and the Princess as soon as possible. They are the main executives and rulers of the Regency Council. And the political niche of Speaker Bijou, who is also the "Committee of Regency", is only to assist the Council of Regents in handling state affairs.

This is equivalent to the fact that when Wallevsky reported his work, he did not want to report to the top secretary and the mayor, but instead reported to a senior political and legal official.

"Your Excellency Biao, what should I do now?" Wallevsky asked Biao in a panic for a while.

Who in the whole Paris high society does not know that Wallevsky does not deal with Princess Mathilde (mainly, there are problems with Wallevsky's wife), this time if he is caught by Princess Mathilde with a pigtail.

Not only the minister doesn't want to do it, but if the trouble goes wrong, he will pack up and leave!

The position of Minister of Foreign Affairs was made by him bit by bit, so he couldn't just lose it.

"What else can we do?" Speaker Bijou sighed, "I will accompany you to Princess Mathilde's mansion!"

"Yes!" Wallewski responded gratefully to Bio.

So, Björn and Wallevsky set off to the mansion where Princess Mathilde lives.

When Björn and Wallewski arrived at Mathilde's mansion, it was already early morning.

Björn and Wallewski pushed open the half-closed door and entered the mansion.

"Your Excellency Biao, Your Excellency Wallevsky!" As soon as they entered the mansion, Biao and Wallevsky saw the maid who was in charge of taking care of Princess Mathilde's daily life, and they hurriedly said hello to the maid.

"Your Highness the Princess has been waiting for you for a long time!" The maid responded meticulously.

The princess knew we were coming?

A look of astonishment and fear appeared on Wallewski's face, and he immediately thought that Princess Mathilde had placed a spy in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.

However, this only lasted for a few seconds, and Wallevsky's inner unease disappeared, because such a thing as a secret agent is not a big deal.

If you think about it carefully, you can see that His Majesty the Emperor's surveillance of the people of the empire is so strict, so naturally he will not relax the surveillance of the imperial bureaucrats who hold real power.

Think back to the time when his father, Emperor Bonaparte, did not rely on the army and secret police to rule France.

"Then please take us there!" Biao smiled and replied to the maid.

Under the guidance of the maid, Björn and Wallewski entered the room. UU Reading

At this time, Princess Mathilde was sitting on the sofa. The arrival of Björn and Wallevsky made Princess Mathilde turn her attention to them.

"Your Highness!" Bjord and Wallewski bowed to Mathilde at the same time.

Mathilde invited Björn to sit down with Wallevsky and asked Wallevsky about the telegram.

"Your Highness!" Wallevsky hurriedly handed the telegram to Princess Mathilde.

Princess Mathilde just swiped the contents of the telegram a little, and said proudly: "Hey! I didn't let him pass, but he wanted to pass. It's been more than a month, but it's just wiped out. More than 50,000 people!"

"His Royal Highness, His Majesty's achievement is enough to compare with Emperor Napoleon! When Emperor Napoleon commanded the army for the first time, it was nothing more than this!" Speaker Bijou heard Princess Matilda's public praise and secret criticism, and he Hastily touted a sentence.

"Just him?" Princess Mathilda continued: "He's far worse than Uncle! (Princess Mathilde paused, deliberately pretending to be casual) However, he is so-so!"

"His Royal Highness, I think the Empire should publicize it well!" Speaker Bijo put forward his own idea: "It's better to bind Your Majesty to Sevastopol, so that the citizens of the Empire will think of Sevastopol. I will immediately think of Your Majesty!”
