Flowers, Swords and France

When Charles, Carrion and others boarded the ship, Louis Bonaparte, who had looked at him before, was still looking at the sky and the continent in the distance.

After they boarded the ship one by one, the future emperor of the empire retracted his gaze, slowly turned around, and looked at these people who had followed the Bonaparte family for many years.

In the middle of the deck were the supporters who gathered together; standing at the bow was the master to whom these people had been loyal for many years.

As if they had received some orders, after walking to the middle of the deck, these supporters stopped in front of Louis Bonaparte.

Then, at a short distance, they looked at each other, everything was so solemn, as if time had been frozen in it.

In this extremely emotional atmosphere, everyone was in a state of mind,

Everyone just stared at each other, and the long silence made the atmosphere more solemn and solemn. Although this was obviously a bit rude, no one could speak for a while.

Louis-Bonaparte was also looking at the group of people opposite him, and he was also filled with mixed feelings.

Yes, it was this group of people who had been working tirelessly for the revival of the Bonaparte family empire for many years, regardless of the cost and without fear of hardship; it was this group of people who had been willing to go through fire and water for many years, and were loyal to him just because of his name.

Although they certainly had their own other calculations and demands, they were able to persist in this struggle for decades, during the time when the empire collapsed, the Bonaparte family was exiled, and everything was swallowed by darkness. They did not betray; after Louis-Bonaparte launched several mutinies but failed for various reasons, they still did not abandon the Bonaparte family. They never left in the most difficult and darkest times. What else can be demanded? !

Yes, these are the people I must rely on to take back the empire, and these are the people I need to repay. He silently said in his heart.

Then, under the gazes of more than a dozen people, when the rising sun behind him had floated above the sea and brought rays of light to the horizon, he finally spoke.

Since the beginning of his life. Charles heard the voice of the future emperor of the French Empire for the first time.

"The sun is out again, everything is going well. I'm back." Although his tone deliberately tried to appear calm, he still couldn't hide the excitement in his heart. "Gentlemen. I'm back to lead you to take back the entire empire!"

His voice, as Carrion said, had a great accent. But who can't feel the deep emotion contained in it?

His words. Finally broke the extremely solemn atmosphere on the deck.

Everyone couldn't help but feel excited-not just because of this person. Not just because of this sentence, but also because of many years of long-cherished wishes and expectations. God knows how long these people have been waiting for this moment all these years?

"Long live the empire! Long live the empire!" The group of people who came to greet him shouted this slogan again almost at the same time. The cheers almost went straight to the sky. In this situation, even Charles himself was a little emotional.

When Charles and others were about to salute again, Louis-Bonaparte suddenly waved his hand gently, indicating that they should not be too rigid about red tape.

Then, he slowly came to Charles and others. Even on the boat that was shaking with the waves. His steps did not stagger at all.

Soon, he walked in front of everyone.

Then. He stretched out his hand and shook hands with Carrion.

"Jacques, you have worked so hard for so many years." He encouraged in a gentle voice, "We know how much help your talents have brought us over the years, and we absolutely trust you!"

Carrion's mouth trembled, and he could hardly speak. He just kept holding Louis-Bonaparte's hand, with tears on his face-although there must be exaggeration in it, there is also a lot of genuine excitement.

Then, Louis Bonaparte walked up to Charles and held out his hand. Charles held out his hands and held his. His face was full of the excitement that young people have when they see their idols. This kind of control of emotions and expressions is necessary for every young person who aspires to be a politician. Charles has naturally learned it for a long time.

"Are you Charles?" He asked first, and then immediately smiled and answered himself, "Of course. So young and so smart, who else can it be except the grandson of the Marquis of Treville?"

His hands were trembling slightly, and the words he spoke were intermittent. Under his deliberate suppression, he even had a little bit of crying tone similar to Carrion.

"Sir... Sir... You are finally... finally back! We have all... We have waited for too long!"

Whether it is sincere or not, a young man showing such excitement in meeting himself will always make anyone feel happy.

"Young man... Very good, you did a great job, we all know that." He smiled again, his eyes full of the expectations of an elder for a young man, and then, as if to encourage him, he tightened his grip on Charles' hand. "Very good. You are worthy of being the grandson of the Marquis de Treville, the emperor's loyal old soldier! You deserve this surname!"

"Thank you!" Charles bowed his head in thanks for the praise.

"You're welcome, this is the compliment you deserve." Louis-Bonaparte shook his head slightly, and then suddenly patted Charles' shoulder heavily with his left hand.

"Keep working hard, young man, we will still have opportunities in the future, and there are still places where you need to show your talents! The future is yours after all, work hard!"

Then, he temporarily abandoned Ciel and continued to shake hands with the others one by one to encourage them.

How many people know this sentence, and what kind of prophecy it can become in the future, in the Second Empire and Europe? !

………………

After the touching first meeting, carriages galloped along the road from the port to Paris.

In this small convoy, the largest and most gorgeous four-wheel carriage is located in the center. The crest of the Bonaparte family is also engraved on it. Needless to say, the Bonapartist master, Louis Bonaparte, the pretender to the throne of the Bonaparte family, the future President of the Republic and Emperor of the Empire. I'm in it right now.

According to the original plan, Karion was also sitting inside, preparing to report the recent situation and plans to him. To the surprise of many people, at his special request, Ciel was able to sit across from him.

At this time, Louis Bonaparte seemed a little tired due to the fatigue of the journey. His face was also a little pale.

"Sir, why don't you take a rest first?" Karion, who was sitting next to him, suggested worriedly.

"No, time waits for no one. Just say it." Louis Bonaparte directly rejected his proposal, then reluctantly cheered up and made a gesture to show that he had no problem.

The solemnity and calmness on the boat just now have been replaced by calmness. He looked out the window from time to time. As if he wanted to see what the country he had always wanted to hold in his arms looked like; sometimes he looked into the car, and his shrewd and sharp eyes flashed past the two of them from time to time.

"Okay." Karion nodded quickly and followed the other party's instructions.

Then he reported on the recent situation, the focus of which was naturally the latest trends of the various factions and the efforts and results of the Bonapartists' efforts to resist de Lamartine's attempt to expel Louis Bonaparte.

Louis Bonaparte listened quietly to Carlyon's report, occasionally interjecting to ask for details; Charles naturally understood his position at the moment, so he also remained silent. Also listened quietly. For a while, the only sound in the carriage was Carlyon's quiet and hoarse reporting voice.

After Carrion's brief report, Louis Bonaparte spoke again.

"That is to say. The risk posed by Mr. de Lamartine has been eliminated?"

In this private space, his words were concise and to the point, and his tone was very calm. He was no longer as high-spirited and boastful as he was on the deck.

"That should be the case," Carlyon nodded. "According to our connections within the government, Mr. de Lamartine has given up on this stupid idea of ​​his."

"Very good." After hearing his answer, Louis Bonaparte seemed to relax a lot. "That's a lot more reassuring."

Then, he seemed to have remembered something, and turned his gaze to Ciel opposite, with some gratitude in his eyes.

"Char, thank you. Your report helped us eliminate a big problem."

"This is what I should do." Charles said his first words.

"Although I'm back now, I still need time to figure out many things, and I still need your help." His eyes swept across the two people again, "So, I hope you can help me as much as possible." Speak freely in front of us, we must rely on you to achieve our goals, you don’t have to hold back anything.”

The two people quickly agreed at the same time, showing their loyalty.

"I have already made plans for the election." After talking for a while, Louis Bonaparte spoke again. "I don't want to personally participate in this election. I want to observe it quietly for a period of time..."

"Who will come from then?" Karion asked quickly. "I think it is necessary to carry the banner of the Bonaparte family during this period."

"Yes, so my cousins ​​and cousins ​​will go out and participate in the election." Louis Bonaparte replied in a low voice, and then he continued to explain, "Joseph, Pierre and Lucien, they will Come here, I plan to let them run for parliament. You have to do your best to help them, do you understand?"

Karion and Ciel listened quietly, then nodded to show that they understood.

"Time is precious, and we cannot make a wrong step, otherwise we will waste this best opportunity. You are all our own people, so I can be honest. For us, mistakes are more terrible than crimes, aren't they? Everyone Keep up the good work!" )
