Harry Potter Morning Light

On December 24, 1800, Napoleon Bonaparte was assassinated in the Rue Saint-Niches. Twenty-two people died and fifty-six were injured, but Bonaparte survived.

In the public opinion at the time, it was generally believed that this was done by the royalists. All the people who had participated in the beheading of Louis XVI were all "regicides", including the Jacobins, and Napoleon had To join the Jacobins was to become one of the "regicides".

But he didn't do it directly. Compared with other extremists, Louis XVIII in exile still had a bit of fantasy for him. The situation of nobles in trouble is often not so wonderful. Louis XVIII was very poor, and Napoleon gave him an allowance. Later, Louis XVIII wrote to the "Kingslayer", hoping that he could welcome him back, but Napoleon did not agree. A section of the Tribunal was already very dissatisfied with his special court.

At the end of the ancien régime, the Supreme Court, reformed by Maupe, had lost its impartiality and had become obedient to the king, and Napoleon's special court was almost of this nature.

He was not willing to be bound by any principle, nor by a constitution. The new celebrities favored a strong government, but not an arbitrary government by force. The debates in the Tribune angered Napoleon. Beat or fifteen metaphysicians fit only to be thrown into the water, they are lice on my clothes, I am a soldier, a son of the Revolution, and I will not bear to be humiliated like a king."

The assassination happened shortly thereafter.

He insisted on continuing to watch performances in the theater after the assassination. On the third day, on December 26, 1800, Napoleon began to suppress. Anyone who destroys the cause of liberty by any means must be arrested."

However, the object of his prosecution was not the Royalists, but the Jacobins, the organization that represented the "Revolutionary Spring" he had joined when he was cornered.

The Jacobins prosecuted by him were either shot or guillotined, and more importantly, there were mass arrests of the Jacobins, and a large number of people were exiled without trial.

Fouché, an old chameleon who was in charge of the arrest, blamed the murder on "English gold coins", that is to say, the British were behind it.

However, according to John Archer's investigation, the assassination may have been planned by several priests.

During the Italian War, Bonaparte contacted the Pope, who hoped that France could restore the status of the Catholic Church, but Napoleon did not accept this condition.

The real culprits were covered up because of the Jacobin raids and exiles, and the French newspapers reacted strongly to this. Later, these "hostile newspapers" were shut down by Napoleon, but this did not prevent the underground printing factory from starting. There are many satirical and sarcasm publications in circulation, and some people even frame him as having an affair with his sister, Paulina, the most legendary beauty in Europe. Among them, Josephine's love affair with him was the most widely circulated. the widest.

Even the farmers outside the Malemaison Manor know that there is a "little boy" sleeping in the bedroom of the owner of the manor. They are intimate like no one else, just like an ordinary couple.

The police station is especially terrible. They can arrest people at will, set up private courts, and use madhouses to lock up opponents. One of the poets wrote a satirical poem "Yes, the great Napoleon, the great chameleon" and was arrested. Even a normal person would be crazy if he was put in a madhouse. Napoleon ruled like this Can't listen to other opinions.

The secret police is not a piece of steel. Fouché and Dubois fought openly and secretly, so that they forgot what their original job was. When the rumors were discovered, they could not be stopped. I heard that Napoleon sent a message in the Tuileries Palace. The fire scolded the two chiefs of the secret police to the point of blood.

Napoleon's tenderness was towards women, perhaps because he was eager to gain women's affirmation and favor. However, he advocated a sense of morality through law and public opinion. People ridiculed him as "another victim of marriage". Only then did Napoleon bring back the steward and maid who had survived in the old days.

But these old people who are proficient in court infighting will not enter the new court to mix with the muddy water. They have opened etiquette training classes by themselves to recruit new celebrities who want to learn etiquette. Life is easy and stress-free. Napoleon saved himself, but he was never stingy with Josephine. An ordinary dress for her costs 3,000 francs, and a custom-made dress from a special designer alone costs 140,000 francs a year. It is very lucrative to make clothes for her. But Napoleon was not so easy to deceive. The former clothing manager paid 20,000 francs more than he was discovered by Napoleon. This person was sentenced for corruption as a matter of course.

So it is very difficult to be an errand in his family-a confused wife, a shrewd husband, it is easy to be greedy for money, and it is easy to be caught. He may be exiled or imprisoned for a few years before returning, or he may be sent to prison just like during the reign of terror. guillotine.

Such high-quality requirements discouraged many people who wanted to rely on serving well as before to become favorites and gain power. Therefore, Napoleon's family did not have as many servants as the Bourbon royal family.

He himself lived a very simple life, but he was never stingy in rewarding the heroes and those who attached to him, and even the officers were dressed more gorgeously than him. This is a common problem of many political upstarts.

His biggest weakness is women, but he doesn't have many mistresses like Louis XIV and XV. The opera singers who have had contact with him will not enter the court like Madame Du Barry. They are covered with cloaks from foot to foot, so that people can only tell their true identities from the carriage.

Josephine never regarded them as rivals, except for the new "Englishwoman" who popped up. At first she called herself the "Lady in Red", but Napoleon named her Georgiana, and she soon became Napoleon's chief mistress.

He arranged her in the king's suite in St. Luke's, which he should have avoided. The Tuileries Palace also has a room where the king lives. As a "son of the great revolution", he should not live in it.

He took her out of St. Luke's Palace early in the morning after the chaos last night and went to the Grand Tria Palace, where the chief mistress of King Louis XIV used to live, but more importantly, Louis XIV was in After his death, Marie Theresa secretly married his mistress, Mrs. Maintenon. Although she was not canonized as a queen, she always had the love and favor of Louis XIV and became a real and unnamed queen.

The Grand Tria Palace is adjacent to the Palace of Versailles. Although it seems to be abandoned there, there are still garrisons inside, and the defense is no less strict than that of Malemaison.

The secret police arrested Edward Jenner for unknown reasons and sent him to the Grand Tria Palace. Since February 1801, France has been vaccinating with vaccinia, but the results are not satisfactory. Even if Napoleon himself vaccinated it and proved that it was all right, no one dared to try it.

After smallpox comes out, acne marks will be left. If it stays on the face, it will be ugly. Human beings bravely choose to love beauty between death and beauty. Used to go out.

It is so difficult for the government to promote it, not to mention that Edward Jenner relied on his own savings to promote it among the people more slowly. Napoleon was a person who experienced the Black Death in Egypt. His ambition may not be limited to smallpox, and the Black Death can also be treated through similar vaccination methods.

John, who originally didn't believe that Napoleon planned to negotiate peace, also began to be suspicious, but he didn't know anything about the situation in the UK. He was an intelligence agent sent abroad, and his main job was to spy on intelligence and prepare for "special missions" at any time.

Although John was skeptical of Severus' claim that Napoleon went to Fontainebleau to catch him and set a trap, he still gave him a pocket of gold coins as a fee for purchasing information.

Severus didn't care about the bag of money, he used the bag of gold coins to buy the previous information from John, and then he left.

After he was gone, the Liverpool people asked John, "Are there any wizards around Napoleon?"

"Of course there are. The King of France also has them. It's just that they were captured by a group of mercenaries and sent to the guillotine by the Jacobins. Now those mercenaries should also be serving Napoleon."

"Don't you need to remind him?" the Liverpool man asked, pointing to the door through which Severus had just walked out.

"I think he should know." John sneered. "Another victim of love."

=======================================

The Corsican dictator twirled his fingers again in his carriage.

The empathetic Fouche immediately approached with a charming smile, "Still thinking about the woman just now?"

Bonaparte ignored him.

"I've heard scholars say that after the new male lion defeats the original lion king, he needs to kill the cub of the old lion king, and then he can be with the lioness who lost the child." Fouche said "When her husband died, she became a widow..."

"She wasn't married at all, where did she get her husband?" The First Consul withdrew his finger and looked out the window.

"Should we bring his head back and show it to her so that she can confirm it with her own eyes?" Fouche asked again.

"No," said Napoleon, "I can also exile him, if he wishes never to return to Paris."

"You are very kind," said Fouché obsequiously.

"Aren't you worried that Dubois will flatter her to deal with you?" Napoleon said with an elegant smile.

"Isn't she a woman like Madame du Barry?" asked Fouché. "She won't be fooled so easily by presents."

"What would a decent woman like?" Napoleon asked humbly.

"Irregular men." Fouché spread his hands and said with a smirk, "Men are not bad and women don't love them."

Napoleon laughed.

That appearance is not as gentle and refined as when he treated the scholar just now, nor is he as righteous as a hero, but like a villain.
