Chapter 1381 The Sounding Organ

Through the "Academic Covenant", Napoleon obtained the power to redistrict the diocese and nominate bishops.

He believed that controlling the bishop would control his priests, so that he would not have to monitor them himself.

During the French Revolution, the Constituent Assembly passed the "Clerical Civil Organization Law". Priests, bishops and archbishops were no longer appointed by the pope, but were elected by citizens, just like state officials. The archbishop is required to be on duty, and new bishops and above only need to believe in the Pope, indicating that they belong to the same faith. Replaces the formerly privileged Senate and participates in the administrative administration of the diocese.

The clerics who agreed to this bill and took an oath of allegiance were called constitutional clerics, and those who opposed it were called anti-sworn clerics. These anti-sworn clerics became the fuse of the French Revolution, and these clerics were later killed in brutal ways up.

Caprara asked the constitutional clerics to admit their mistakes, but they opposed the acknowledgment. As a result, the ecclesiastical covenant once fell into an impasse that could not be negotiated.Rome declared that it would not appoint constitutional bishops appointed in the canonical treaty, and Bonaparte's unshakable determination forced the Pope to approve the appointment of twelve constitutional bishops, while sixteen anti-canonical bishops had submitted their resignations. A covenant bishop was also appointed.

Bishop Bernier, negotiating on behalf of France, said in ambiguous terms that the bishop of the constitutional party had made a statement orally, and that he had finally won the bishop of Orléans.

In addition to him, Napoleon also sent Portalis, a member of the Senate on October 10, as a supervisor. Many concessions were made, and at a synod the Constitutional bishops obeyed with little resistance.

Napoleon was very dissatisfied with this, which gave him the idea of ​​letting Siyes deal with Caprara.

The former governor, Siyes, wanted to launch a coup and needed to catch Napoleon's power. As a result, he did not expect that Napoleon would become the first governor. He himself was assigned to the Senate as the speaker, in charge of matters related to etiquette.

Napoleon asked the Houses of Parliament to agree to a special agreement on academic affairs. This time he was openly opposed by the Senate, and the meeting on October 10 was turned upside down.

The Legislative Yuan elected Dupuy, author of the anti-religious book The Origins of Religion, as its chairman.

The Tribune was almost unanimously opposed to the ecclesiastical treaty, and Napoleon lost his temper on the spot. The opposition then found the peace treaty signed between France and Russia, which they severely criticized, because the treaty spoke of "the subjects of France". ” instead of “citizens of France.”

On January 1, Bonaparte withdrew all bills submitted to Parliament, putting the chambers on a "legal fast."

Three days later, on January 3, the Senate declared that the session of the Houses of Parliament was thus considered closed, and announced that it was proceeding to replace one-fifth of the Republic's deputies whose ten-year term had expired.Since there is no provision in the constitution for the selection of outgoing members, the question was referred to the Senate.

"I think you need to know what's going on in Paris now more than you need to pray," Caprara said. "And you have to find a way to stop General Bernadotte from staying in Sevres."

"Why?" Georgiana asked frightenedly.

"You should know that not all officers obey Bonaparte unconditionally, and Bernadotte is one of them."

"but……"

"Don't think he really likes working in a pottery," Caprara interrupted Georgiana. "He's a soldier with a sword."

"Don't you think he will hold me hostage?"

"And Letizia, either you go back to Paris with me, or don't give him the right to cross the bridge."

"The Seine is so frozen that it doesn't matter if he wants to cross it." Georgiana started circling.

"Who was protecting the Tuileries after the last assassination?" Caprara asked.

"I heard it was an infantryman of the 17th Military District in Paris."

"Then do you know who the general of the 17th military region is?"

"Please tell me, Father," Georgiana begged.

"Adolphe Edward Kazimier Joseph Mortier, whose mother was English, was educated in an English college, I think you can take this opportunity to visit him, thank him for the days he gave Help," Caprara said quietly.

"Is there anything else I need to know?"

"He didn't tell you anything?" Caprara asked.

"He doesn't spend much time with me, and he prefers to tell me stories about his previous wars."

"Why did he withdraw Bernadotte from the Western Military Region and go to the Western Military Region by himself?"

"Prevent the British from landing," Georgiana said.

"I thought the treaty was signed."

"That's just a draft agreement, not to mention that it can be torn up after signing the peace agreement..."

"He's on another military operation?" Caprara interrupted Georgiana.

"Yes."

"Where?"

"He's going to build a huge bronze statue in Antwerp, like Apollo in Rhodes Island, and that's going to cost a lot of money, and he's got the Dutch to send the money to Antwerp in gold ships, and I think British warships are going to attack them."

"why?"

"Think about the shape of that statue," Georgiana said, looking into Caprara's face. "The British think that's an insult."

"My God, how could he do that?" Caprara exclaimed.

"Because Kang Huali added two conditions, the Duke of Orange must be compensated for the cost of losing Ceylon, and France ceded Tobago to redeem the captives." She paused, "And Britain still seems unwilling to withdraw from Malta."

"Why are you looking at me like that?" Caprara said with a smile.

"Guess, father, why am I looking at you like this?" Georgiana waved her hand, "Why were you kidnapped and why did you lose your memory?"

"Hahaha." Caprara laughed and tried to perfunctory.

"I don't want to go to Paris and hear the Parliament quarreling," said Georgiana wearily.

"Bernadotte is just a senator now. He doesn't have military power in his hands. Even if he crosses the river alone, it's useless." Caprara said, "You can let the No.17 Corps station a team of soldiers there, and you yourself Stay there."

"What?" said Georgiana incredulously.

"The British town next to Sevres had conflicts with the locals. On the way here, I saw that the townspeople of Sevres were planning to 'attack' the barracks. I think you may need force to maintain order."

"My... what are they arguing about?"

"Graves, the townspeople of Sevres believe that the British have exhumed the bodies of their loved ones for some nefarious research, and they demand a search of the English town."

Georgiana had nothing to say.

If you want to study medicine, you must dissect a corpse, but there are very few people who voluntarily donate their corpses for dissection, so the profession of corpse robbers came into being.

In summer, the stench of corpses decomposes quickly, and winter happens to be the time when corpse robbers are rampant.

"How do they know that the British must have done it?" Georgiana said unconvinced.

"The English townspeople themselves say the same thing, but the French don't believe them," Caprara said. "I remember you got your trousers license. Shouldn't you change your trousers, Georgiana?"

"No," Georgiana said immediately, "they need a judge in robes more than a soldier in trousers."

"You want to go alone?"

"Of course I need soldiers, but I don't plan to find the 17th Legion. There are so many people in Versailles." Georgiana said, "I don't think the army should be mobilized easily. Father, Louis XVI frequently mobilized the army to make the citizens panic. And then acted irrationally."

"Okay." Caprara nodded, "Do you need me to accompany you?"

"Of course," she said anxiously, "I am also a Protestant in the eyes of the townspeople of Sevres."

"Are you Protestant?" Caprara asked.

Georgiana didn't answer Caprara's question because it was a private matter.
