Harry Potter Morning Light
Chapter 2068 house of lord (6)
After the Birmingham riots, the members of the Moonlight Society, who used to gather together, dispersed to various parts of the world and kept in touch through letters.
But even the members who remained in Birmingham were no longer half-drunk as in the past, and went home by moonlight.
Now the streets of Birmingham are much busier and more dangerous than when they were young, and they are not the only ones who are full of drunks on the streets.
Especially after the banquet held at the Royal Hotel, drunk and frantic people not only smashed the glass, but also set fire to the conference hall.
Maybe some people are "double happiness", but for some unlucky guys, it is difficult for them to encounter such a good thing, but "misfortunes never come singly" is easier to find them.
Old Watt probably wanted some Felicia, because not only James Watt Jr. joined the radical revolutionary organization, but Gregory Watt was also infected with tuberculosis.
It is very painful for a white-haired person to send a black-haired person, but there is currently no cure for this disease. When Georgiana returned to the seaside restaurant, Napoleon and others were looking at Soho's gift, a "sidereal clock".
This clock is not used to record the daily time, it is used to measure the continuous time of a star appearing on the meridian where the measurer is located, it can be said that it is an instrument only used by astronomers.
It was housed in a three-foot-high gilt box topped by a blue enamel sphere adorned with stars, resembling a celestial sphere, on top of which stood a statue of Urania.
Napoleon was very interested in astronomy when he was young, but not many people knew about it, so he told her about it.
She only told the librarian of the Trianon Palace, but Soho actually found out about the news. Old Watt was like a mechanical engineer, demonstrating to Bonaparte how to use this "stellar clock". You can't see what happened to him at all.
And the Duke of Bedford, too. His performance made her suspect that the cavalryman had lied to her.
There are people who are distressed by the loss of a loved one, but there are also "people" who don't take it seriously at all.
Georgiana looked at Miss Gordon. There is a poison called stepmother's poison. The last duchess had only three children, one of whom was born weak. If they all died, it would be the turn of her child to inherit. The Duke has it all.
Nietzsche once said: Morality is just a fictitious thing brought up by low-level people to hinder high-level people.
It is difficult for a person to be successful if he is too moral. For example, Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty, even though he had the advantage of "orthodoxy" at the beginning, he was "abdicated".
Eastern civilization emphasizes "humility". The story of Kong Rong letting pears has been passed down for thousands of years is completely opposite to the competition advocated by Western civilization. On the contrary, it is the "World of Great Controversy" during the Spring and Autumn and Warring States Periods. At that time, everyone was fighting , and then there was "a hundred schools of thought contending" in Jixia Academy.
However, China was divided at that time, just like Europe is now, but compared to "seeking common ground while reserving differences", the parties in the parliament are more willing to split and compete because of differences.
One more point of view would have allowed one more choice, but there was a famine, and Kong Rong used sophistry to prevent Cao Cao from implementing the alcohol prohibition. What's the point of vetoing the debate for the sake of vetoing?
Louis XVI is a good man, he has only one queen, Marie Antoinette, unlike the previous French kings who have so many mistresses.
However, he won the War of Independence, but did not bring actual benefits to the French. Instead, he asked taxpayers to collect various exorbitant taxes in order to make up for the deficit. Napoleon was rewarded with positions, mansions and gardens, even though his wealth was all stolen.
As long as there is no chaos in their own country, when people discuss getting Belgium through the "Campo Formio" peace treaty, they will only discuss the benefits to their own country.
It would be like this if another country became stronger. This is Europa. No one wants to be a barbarian. Even the Romans would say that they are descendants of the Trojans. No one is willing to be a beast, or even admit that he is an immoral person, so you can see a room full of people wearing various masks, pretending to be the role they want to be.
They will not accept their true selves, let alone accept others with tolerance.
During the Renaissance, some foreign civilizations were accepted, but they were not foreign civilizations, but ancient Greek civilizations.
Like oil floating on the surface of the water, it glows with colorful lights in the sun. Most people only see the surface, but few people "dive down".
The mercenaries were actually because the Eastern Roman Empire suffered from several plagues in succession and lost a large number of people. They could not continue to draw enough soldiers from the country's agricultural population, so they had to spend money from other places to hire soldiers to fight for themselves.
As Machiavelli said, mercenaries have no loyalty at all. If the French do not use their own troops to protect the Republic, then spending money to hire mercenaries is tantamount to leading wolves into the house.
The nobles were sent to places with such a high battle damage rate, and those who survived basically established their prestige among the soldiers. They were not the kind of "nobles" who "worked hard when they were born".
It is indeed not easy for a man to stand between heaven and earth, but boys must grow up after all. Draco had a doting mother who found him a godfather who could protect him and made an unbreakable vow to look after him for the rest of his life so Draco could continue to be a child.
Bolton used to be a toy maker, and it was rare for a boy to see a toy without feeling happy.
Georgiana watched Napoleon carefully. She could see that he liked it, but he kept his hands behind his back and did not move himself.
Luderer soon spotted Georgiana, and after whispering something to Bonaparte, he turned his gaze to her.
"I won." She smiled proudly.
Bonaparte laughed loudly, and the others joined in.
Miss Gordon looked at the soldier who had taken her place with an unpleasant look.
"I'm much lighter than him." Georgiana looked back at the soldier. "Look at our physique."
The soldier came right behind Georgiana, who had just reached his chest.
Such a big difference in height was obvious at a glance, and many people looked at the soldier no longer with ridicule, but with relief.
"Next time, find two people who are about the same height and weight." Georgiana said to Bonaparte, "But I still win, what's the bet?"
A soldier of the Guards came to the front with a tray containing the "Bet" dagger.
"Where's Francis?" Georgiana asked.
The little guy who had followed Robert Peel Jr. was surrounded and walked to the front.
"I have a dagger." Georgiana pulled out her "bread knife". "This dagger should be a gift for the child."
All eyes were on Napoleon.
"I don't give away knives casually." Bonaparte looked at her and said, "My knives are only given to heroes."
"Francis will grow taller, and when he grows up, he will exchange this 'short' dagger for a long knife." Georgiana said.
Bonaparte froze for a moment, then turned to look at Francis, who looked a little frightened.
"When people give you a gift, you should reciprocate it, right?" Georgiana fanned the flames.
Now Bonaparte held the dagger much more smoothly, and he handed Francis the small dagger designed with the Regent's sword.
"Which long knife do you want to exchange for this dagger?" Bonaparte asked threateningly.
Francis stared into the wild lion's eyes, too frightened to know how to answer.
"Who's the next pair?" Miss Gordon looked around with a smile. "Let's change our bet this time."
She said and took off her pearl bracelet, "Whoever wins, this is his."
A Frenchman and an Englishman challenged.
"How about we draw a circle in the sand instead of running so far this time?" Georgiana said.
Everyone looked at Napoleon, as if he had let Francis go and stopped looking at him.
So the afternoon game became horse racing, and there was also "socialization". When the riders raced on the beach, others stayed in the warm restaurant and played their own games. Some bet, and some discussed the instrument with Watt. Then Maria Edgeworth came along with her father and stepmother...
Maria's stepmother is even a year younger than Maria.
This was Edgeworth's fourth wife, and the enthusiastic little old man was a lot of fun, and he performed a little trick to amuse Georgiana.
So she didn't mention those spoilers.
Machiavelli said that flattery is like a plague that is hard to guard against, because people are prone to deceive themselves and others.
One is either ruined by flatterers, or is disrespected by frequent changes of opinion.
Fortunately, Wedgwood died early, otherwise, how would he feel when he saw Tom turned into what he is now by the "forgetfulness grass"?
