Harry Potter Morning Light

Siers once wrote in the book, what is the third level? is everything.

Louis XVI announced the convening of the three-level parliament, basically nothing could be discussed. The main purpose of the existence of the three-level parliament is to approve the king to levy new taxes.

This situation is like Napoleon appearing at a reception. The crowd is divided layer by layer. Everyone wants him to stop in front of them. It’s okay for him to listen to one or two people. It seems that in the stock market, traders have to yell to be heard by the other side.

Roaring and yelling will often make you angry, and then you will move your hands. The history of fighting in the British House of Commons has a long history. Members were allowed to bring weapons into the venue at the first time. Later, they were not allowed to bring weapons because they were afraid of killing people. It became a "contract fight". Prime Minister William Pitt even fought duels Pass.

The new bourgeoisie do not know this rule, after all, they have not entered the power class before. Lucien should have learned something at the Spanish court, not just flamenco.

Louis XIV also learned a lot from the Spanish court, such as court etiquette, which Georgiana, a barbaric country woman, would not pay special attention to.

Her inquisitive maid, Matilda, told her that Malmaison's mirrors were all covered with black veils, a habit she had heard of, and that the ghosts in the mirrors would be covered with black veils so that they would not come out. She ran back to Malmaison from the Tuileries Palace because she was afraid of Marie Antoinette's ghost, and the "Court Master" she found was not a man, but Marie Antoinette's former chief court maid , she taught the courtiers and servants the etiquette, explaining who, when and under what circumstances to see the First Consul, Malmaison is almost a replica of the Palace of Versailles.

Napoleon on Josephine's side did not wear riding boots and saber, but silk stockings, breeches, shoes with silver buttons, and a hat tucked under his arm.

It was a good thing Georgiana didn't see him that way, or she would have turned and gone.

Hortense was the daughter of Josephine, and if she dared to copy her mother's way to Sevres, the "old woman" Georgiana would not be polite to her.

The coup is imminent, and the next reception will be at least ten days away. Georgiana has no time to take care of this matter. She just wrote to inform Hortans that she must invite three or four peasants or workers to participate in this kind of event. High society gathering.

These peasants can be good at farming, and the workers are skilled labor models. Although the British nobles are more arrogant than the French nobles, the situation of the nobles forces them to do so in order to rule. With these people, the host will control Pompous, Napoleon gave her another 6 million francs of goods really for her to decorate the house?

Georgiana interpreted the money as an order for military supplies placed by the Jacobins in order to maintain the economy during the Reign of Terror, and some of these goods would be sold and converted into cash to maintain the expenses of the reception, " Many civilians would envy and long to own the items used by the "royal family". At this time, they can be given away or sold. Anyway, she can't put them in the warehouse to eat ashes.

She was so angry that she was typing on a typewriter according to the draft while thinking about things. She had 4 maids in name, but in fact there were only 3, and asked Mrs. Liss to go back to St. Germain's residence at night, after all, she was also an exiled nobleman.

These exiles are currently being monitored by the police just like the British townspeople in the Sevres barracks. The aftermath of the last cemetery incident has basically subsided. If it goes too far, it will be regarded as the "privileged class" and disgusted.

The current members of the Senate are complicated, mainly composed of "famous people", "nobility", and "famous people". There is no "de" in the name.

The other is the "good people" composed of munitions suppliers and bankers. If Leon Kuhl was not so famous, he could also be one of them.

After Lafayette was released by Austria, the Senate tacitly canceled the prohibition on the relatives of the original nobles and fugitives from holding state offices. Leoncourt is a liberal aristocrat. Liberal aristocrats mainly focus on mining and metallurgy. In the past, the smelting industry in France mainly provided military supplies. If it develops in the direction of roads and bridges in the future, it will grow into a giant and even surpass the current textile industry.

The Senate is divided into five groups, each of which performs its duties, and holds plenary meetings from time to time, usually presided over by Napoleon. Every two or three months, Napoleon will prepare two lists, one is to perform normal duties, and the other is to be in charge of special missions. Now Leon Cour belongs to the special commissioner, but he has no seats and title.

Sometimes Bonaparte would transfer names out of favor from the regular list of positions to another list. These people, although they retained the title and honors of Senator, would not return to their original post once the mission was completed. Members of Parliament are expelled from Parliament in different ways by being "retired".

Credence once killed Henry Shaw Jr., the son of a newspaper tycoon who was running for office at the time, and the newspaper company belonged to his father.

Theoretically, Lance, the grandson of Leon Cour, can enter the Senate, but the academic appointment has already hurt the members of the parliament. To deal with an interest group, it is best to deal with their leader first. Currently, Leon Kuhl is still in the west, and his status is so special. Compared with it, it is easier to introduce his friends into the Senate.

Just as she was about to recall, there was another knock on the door downstairs, and it wasn't long before Phyllis arrived at her door.

"Ma'am, Citizen Louis-Claude Berthollet, please see me."

"who?"

"He said he was introduced by the First Consul." Phyllis said, and put an envelope with a golden letter "n" hot on it in front of her.

Georgiana opened the envelope, but instead of a letter of introduction, it contained a note, written by Napoleon:

The most distinctive advantage of Rome is the Romans' belief in religion, and the reason why the Romans do this is that a country cannot be composed entirely of wise men, and the people are often capricious, full of desires, impulsive and irrational And those who cannot control their emotions must be restrained by the deterrence of the gods.

I saw this sentence in Polybius' "History", what do you think?

Georgiana turned the page over and also wrote by hand:

We make laws so that all people obey the same laws, not some people obeying different laws at different times.

I saw this sentence from Cicero's "On the Republic", what do you think?

After she finished writing the letter, she folded it up and called Phyllis, "You ask him to deliver this letter to the First Consul, and then let him go to Sevres to see me tomorrow. From now on, except for the First Consul No man in power can come in."

"Does that include me too?" Delmid poked his head in through the door.

"My little distinguished guest is here." Georgiana said happily, and quickly got up and hugged Dermide, leaving a lipstick mark on his white and tender cheeks.

"Tell me a story." Delmid ordered with a haughty look.

"Who have you been with these days?"

"Sister Hortans' house."

Georgiana did the math, and while Hortense looked like Delmid's mother, she was actually his unrelated sister.

"Go and call the family whose body was stolen in the town tomorrow." Georgiana said to Phyllis, and then looked at Delmid. "What stories did she tell you?"

"Ghost story."

"Scary?"

Delmid shook his head, "She deliberately tried to scare me, but the story she told was not believable at all."

"Then shall I tell you a scary story?"

"A ghost story too?"

"You have to remember, my dear, that people are scarier than ghosts." Georgiana said, "except for very few ghosts who are more powerful."

"Like Marie Antoinette?"

Georgiana felt bored, turned her head and said to Phyllis again.

"Also, tell Matilda that the mirrors in my residence are not allowed to be covered with black gauze."

Phyllis' face turned pale with fear.

She shook her head helplessly, and left with Delmid in her arms.

After all, Phyllis is a relative of the Guards, and they should have been stationed in Malmaison. If they are really scared, they should also use black gauze to reflect the mirror, although the French Bloody Mary is not the same as the British one. .
