Harry Potter Morning Light

Chapter 1683 The Secret Words of the Goddess (28)

On December 23, 1848, Charles-Louis Napoleon Bonaparte held his first official dinner at the Elysee Palace. Victor Hugo was invited to attend. The banquet was held in a square hall, Decorated with white wainscoting in the style of the First French Empire, the room had a sideboard and a long round table in the middle, at which about fifteen guests were seated, the table was raised at the inner side, Charles -Louis Napoleon Bonaparte sat there.

The others were in evening dress, but he alone wore a uniform with a rosette of the Legion of Honor on his breast. This is very similar to the style of Napoleon I during the First Empire. Everyone else dressed gorgeously, but he was the only one dressed simply, so that people could recognize him from the crowd at a glance.

When Charles-Louis Napoleon Bonaparte saw Victor Hugo coming, he immediately stopped talking with the two women on the left and right, stood up to greet Hugo, shook hands with him enthusiastically, and waited for Hugo to sit down, There are 16 people eating at this dining table.

That scene is naturally not comparable to "The Last Supper", and President Napoleon did not announce at the end of the dinner that one of the disciples would betray him. Among those present was the Marchioness of Harley-Coaltegan, who had beautiful eyes, little hair, and an ugly mouth, but fair skin and a well-proportioned neck. According to the Prince of Moscow, the Marquise was once the mistress of Jérôme Napoleon and is now the mistress of Charles-Louis Napoleon Bonaparte, a poor quip that does not enliven, as in Hugo's diary He also did not record in detail the food of the dinner at that time, and he focused his attention on observing people.

After the dinner, when Hugo was talking to Prince Napoleon in Moscow, the president pulled him aside to ask Hugo what he thought of the situation. After Hugo spoke in general terms about pacifying the bourgeoisie, making the people work and everyone living, Louis-Charles Napoleon Bonaparte asked Victor Hugo "How to whitewash the peace?"

Victor Hugo said: "Decorate peace with the great achievements of art, literature and science, and with the victory of industry and progress. France is a nation with the spirit of conquest. When France does not conquer with the sword, it will conquer with the spirit. It is not necessary to understand this." Act accordingly, ignore this and you will lose your way."

Sometimes even Voldemort lost his way, and a prophecy could at least provide a reference, but that prophecy was given by an amateur spy in a tavern, and the spy did not believe it. Voldemort needed to confirm the content of the prophecy. However, he himself couldn't get the prophecy ball in the Department of Mysteries, although he was also a part of the prophecy.

People sometimes overlook things, even if they think they have observed carefully. For example, Victor Hugo did not notice that Queen Eugenie was not present at the banquet.

This is also understandable, after all, the mistress of Charles-Louis Napoleon Bonaparte was present, but Hugo did not notice what role he played at the banquet.

Charles-Louis Napoleon Bonaparte would never really listen to what he said on that occasion, "Ignore this and you will lose your way", which is like a life mentor. What method to use to conquer the world is not a national event at all. It's not something that a small writer like him should care about. Later, in order to resist the tyranny of Napoleon III, Hugo wrote an article "When I am moving towards a grand goal", and was subsequently exiled.

As a writer, Hugo should work at home, but he is both at home and not at home. Ordinary women have spiritual needs in married life, and Hugo ignores this. Actress Juliet seldom participated in the show again after she established a relationship with Hugo. She was like a housewife who wholeheartedly helped Hugo manage his life. She could fully understand Hugo’s work, because the job of an actress is to understand the script .

The love between her and Hugo lasted for more than fifty years, and finally she officially obtained the status of Hugo's official spouse before she died. During this period, there was no act of disloyalty to Hugo. When Hugo was exiled, Juliet Drouet still followed him.

The spiritual needs of a woman in a relationship are met, and she can endure any hardship. Although Juliet also had a dark past, she later expressed that she was also recognized by the French people.

She left her mark in the city of Paris. The equestrian sculptures of Louis XV on the Place de la Concorde were overthrown by the people, but the urban sculptures of Strasbourg in the image of Juliette Drouet remained. . She seemed angry at the time, although Hugo's subsequent affair with another woman took place many years after the sculpture was completed.

During the war, men were likely to be conscripted for military service. At the age of 69, Victor Hugo was no longer of conscription age, and the French still "forbidden" him to go to the front. In their words, everyone can go to the front, and Hugo wants to stay and do what only Hugo can do.

Hugo could have left before Paris was besieged like Alexandre Dumas, and even he was abroad at the time, but Hugo chose to return to China, returned to Paris, and was with the people of Paris. Everything he experienced during this period was recorded.

After the Franco-Prussian War, people covered the sculptures in Strasbourg with black veils to commemorate the ceded Lorraine region.

During the war, a shell hit the Notre-Dame chapel in Saint-Sulpice, where Hugo and Adele were married.

There are many things that God is powerless to do. A clay sculpture and wood sculpture can't even protect itself, although in legend it is omnipotent and even created a world.

So what does a useless god believe in it?

Severus and Gonseil followed the mirror that was good at finding things and came to the former site of Châtelet Square. In 1870, this place was still very spacious, and now there is only a long strip of lawn leading to the Invalides.

It is actually on the extension line of Napoleon's catacombs, and there is an unremarkable fountain on the lawn, surrounded by church properties.

There are schools, shops, churches and places where the French bishops meet, as if this is a small town in the city of Paris.

From the map, the northeast of the "town" is the residence of the Duke of Bourbon-Condé, but what is more striking is the Eiffel Tower, which seems to be close at hand. This thing that was criticized by Hugo as ugly and jointly opposed is now illuminated by lights. There is a searchlight-like device on the top of the tower. Countless couples and tourists from all over the world surround it to take pictures.

"Hey, I figured it out," cried Conseil. "The moon!"

"What?" Severus asked grimly.

"After the heliocentric theory became popular, other planets revolve around the sun, only the moon revolves around the earth." Gonceil said briskly, "The distance from where we stand to the Invalides is closer than the Champ de Mars. If the Champ de Mars represents It's Mars, and this place represents the moon."

Severus didn't make a sound, he looked at the golden dome of Les Invalides in the distance.

In the third story on the seventh day of the Ten Days Talk, the monk named Linaldo used his religious relationship to have a private meeting with his godson's mother. Unexpectedly, one day the woman's husband came back suddenly. In order to get away with it, The woman told a lie, saying that she and her husband's son suddenly fainted and almost died, and that Brother Linalto, the godfather of the child, saved him.

She said that there was a worm in the child's stomach, which almost penetrated into his heart, and Brother Linalto drove the worm away by chanting a spell.

This was also in Italy in the 16th century. The husband actually believed it. Brother Linalto persuaded the husband to make a wax figure exactly like the child and put it in front of the shrine of St. Ambrose instead of the shrine from Milan. The husband not only He obeyed the monk's words and entertained him with fine wine, and personally sent Brother Linalto and his companions to leave the house.

In the "small town" there is a nursing home for poor retirees, run by nuns. Even if there was no Black Death, those monks with fat heads, brains, red faces, and chests and bellies would not be sincerely loved by the parishioners. Their cellars are full of bottles of fine wine, boxes of sweets and snacks, and jars of perfume ointment. This is not like a monk's cellar, but like a spice merchant's shop.

What's worse is that people are aware of their scandals, they are not ashamed, a decent monk should be ascetic, in addition to a life of poverty, long-term staying up late, praying and obeying the precepts will make people pale and haggard, and these monks only Wearing woolen clothes, dyed ocher, they are covered in silk and satin like them, so the common people are unwilling to pay tithes.

The saint Ambrus in the story is one of the four holy masters of the church. He was born in 340. He was born in a Roman aristocrat. His father was the prefect of Gaul.

Ambrose was smart and studious, proficient in Greek, a famous orator and poet, he had worked in the lawyer industry, and Emperor Valentinian made him the governor of Liguria and Emilia, and the governor's palace was in Milan.

The two provinces of Liguria and Emilia were very important in Western Rome. Ambrus was only 32 years old at the time. In 374, the bishop of Milan was vacant, and there were disputes over the successor. Some people wanted to choose a bishop who supported the orthodox doctrine, and some People wanted to elect the Arian heretics as bishops. In order to maintain order at the scene, Ambrose personally went to the church as the governor to speak to the electors, urging everyone to vote peacefully. At this time, someone shouted "Let Ambrose be the bishop."

Ambrose has both ability and virtue, which is exactly what the people want, so they responded unanimously and unanimously asked Ambrose to be the bishop of Milan. Ambrus refused the post, and wrote to the emperor reporting the matter, but the emperor wrote to make Ambrus bishop.

Believers will be baptized at birth, but Ambrose was 34 years old when he was ordained and baptized. Since then, he has completely separated himself from the world and donated all his furniture and movable property to charity. After giving it to the church, only a small part of the money was left for his elder sister to use, and the title was given to his younger brother.

As soon as Ambrose took over as bishop, he wrote to the emperor, reporting the illegal behavior of many officials. The emperor also really investigated those people he reported, and wrote a letter to thank him for his correction.

Ambrose's life was extremely difficult. He refused to participate in all banquets and served the parish all day long. He appreciated the chastity in order to devote himself to the master. Books were written and often preached in sermons.

Many mothers forbade their daughters to listen to the preaching of the Bishop of Milan, fearing that they would not marry after hearing this. Ambrus retorted: "Which young man wants to get married but can't find a wife? What city is depopulated because of too many chaste women?" Woolen cloth?"

The official division of Rome began in 395 when Theodosius divided the land between his two sons when he died, but Rome was already in a divided situation before him.

At that time, not only was the empire divided, but the church was also in a precarious situation. There were Arian heresies inside and the worship of the goddess of victory outside. In 383, Emperor Gratian of Western Rome was killed by the British rebel Massimo. Before Gratian was killed, he was deeply influenced by Ambrus. The emperor advocated respect for the church and ordered the statue of the goddess of victory enshrined in the Senate moved out.

After the death of the emperor, the elders planned to resume paying homage to the goddess of victory, and the leader was Simagu, the son of the Roman prefect. Simagu was a scholar, and he wrote to Massimo's son, Emperor Victor, hoping to rebuild the statue.

In the end, Ambrose won, and the statue of the goddess of victory did not return to the Senate.

"Is it the Moon Goddess or the Goddess of Victory?" Severus whispered.

"What?" Conseil asked, perhaps because the night wind broke Severus' voice.

"Let's go to church."

"Wizards in church?" Conseil said with a strange face.

"As long as you don't say it out loud, no one knows you're a wizard." Severus said, "Besides, I'm still the godfather. Let's go."

As he spoke, he pushed Conseil's shoulder and walked towards the church at the northeast corner of the fountain.
