Started with a green hat for Verlaine

Chapter 499 Chapter 499 A Green Hat in a Foreign Country

At the beginning of 1875, a special literary event happened.

A new round of elections at the Académie de France.

Alexandre Dumas was elected as a member of the French Academy with 22 votes!

His works are few, far inferior to Balzac and Alexandre Dumas, but he has won the honor that these two popular novelists can't touch in their lifetime!

"La Traviata" is completely a god!

France promoted it into the supreme literary palace, and countless writers and readers fell in love with it. The overwhelming praise enveloped Dumas fils, and Jules Verne, who was his friend, shed tears of envy.

Although Wang Qiu comforted him to have the courage to try, Jules Verne said that he would fully support Dumas' participation in the election this year, and he would not cause trouble.

Jules Verne didn't dare to say: I don't want to humiliate myself.

Mainstream literature defends the gates of the French Academy to death.

want to enter this door.

Either the power is overwhelming, or literature shocks the world.

Seeing the overjoyed Dumas fils, Jules Verne also smiled. Mr. Dumas was right. Dumas fils was the most outstanding work of Dumas in his life.

After Dumas fils celebrated his academician status with his friends, he took Jules Verne, who was still drunk, to the UK non-stop, and contacted Wang Qiu. Dumas fils never forgot to help Dumas move his grave to the Pantheon in Paris things.

Three people add up.

Five votes for the French academician are within easy reach.

I thought it was the most difficult part, but when Dumas entered the circle, he suddenly realized that he was surrounded by acquaintances, and the acquaintances were more familiar with Wang Qiu!

Victor Hugo and others voted yes for their sake.Jules Verne also went all out and won two votes for the respected Mr. Dumas.

In the end, the three won as many as ten votes for Alexandre Dumas!

Ma Shengqiu was also overjoyed, and finally fulfilled his verbal promise.

After Victor Hugo attended the party at the French Academy, Ma Shengqiu also helped him leave the venue, and Victor Hugo successfully enjoyed everyone's jealous eyes, which is why he was suspected of being a "beauty trick" "The reason why everyone voted for it.

The world of literati is also happy to leave popular stories.

Anyway - he is old, and occasionally he gets confused, no one dares to argue with him.

Victor Hugo patted Akiya Aso's arm, causing ripples in the eyes of the other party. Aso was always looking at him with cordial and respectful eyes. Over the years, the scene of meeting Hugo for the first time has not been too many the difference.

"Qiu, I will help everything I can. You have to be mentally prepared."

"It's man-made."

Ma Shengqiu didn't think anyone could hinder him either.

The focus of public opinion all over the world is on him. He is the topic maker of human form. Since he uttered the rhetoric that everyone should write for him, he has greatly promoted the literary world. No writer dares to offend him.

After achieving the goal, it was only a matter of publishing it in the newspaper, and Dumas's footsteps were light and light, feeling that he had never been so happy in his life.

Back at his residence in Paris, Dumas fils hugged Qiuya Aso tightly.

"Thank you—thank you for giving me this opportunity!"

"Father will be happy. I helped him get what he pursued. I always complained to him, but after I got his best spiritual legacy, I just want the whole world to remember me. father!"

"He is not the best father, but he is my favorite father!"

Dumas let go of his arms and took out a franc that he was carrying in his pocket. He showed it to Ma Shengqiu, with tears in his eyes, "I heard that you like to collect authors' copyrights, but I can't show my father's copyrights. But it is my legacy from my father."

Aso didn't know why, so he took the franc and found that it was the currency decades ago.

Jules Verne asks: "Demas fils?"

Alexandre Dumas almost couldn't remember his father's remains. He recalled: "When my father died, he was a poor man with only a few coins on his body. He left the most important 1 franc to me. He said that it was when he came to Paris. One of his possessions, he never spent his last franc in his life..."

Ma Shengqiu also cherished the historical relics and returned the franc.

"I'm sorry, I can't accept it. It is a collectible to me. Only in your hands is it a valuable treasure."

Xiao Dumas was very moved by Wang Qiu's refusal.

Jules Verne was greedy, and asked tentatively: " Dumas fils..."

Dumas fils replied without hesitation: "Don't even think about it."

Jules Verne sighed.

Dumas fils thought about Wang Qiu's favorite novels, and planned to repay his kindness through writing, and he was looking forward to the future.

However, the reality after the newspaper gave Alexandre Dumas' son a basin of cold water.

As soon as the news about Alexandre Dumas entering the Pantheon appeared in newspapers, the French literary and art circles were in an uproar. After many years, black materials about Alexandre Dumas spewed out. Even Aso Shengqiu took precautions against public opinion earlier, and was still dumbfounded.

According to statistics from the French literature and art circles, Alexandre Dumas had more than [-] lovers!

There are countless illegitimate children!

Not only was the details of Dumas's private life uncovered, and he was whipped to death by angry writers, Dumas's writing problems were also criticized-this guy often asked someone to write for him, seized the pen, and sometimes even himself I don't even know what I wrote!

Dumas's black blood has become a place where he has been attacked by others. The most important thing is that Dumas was trafficked by his father once when he was a child!Even if he was redeemed later, it would be difficult to change Alexandre Dumas' childhood experience.

Alexandre Dumas is not only a descendant of French nobles, but also a black slave!

All in all, Alexandre Dumas' bloodline, identity, and personal morality are not good, his literary works do not conform to mainstream literature, and his deeds are not qualified!

Immediately afterwards, a senior official in the French political circles stated: "I have read Dumas's work, and I admit that it is very interesting, but what significance does it bring?"

Literary critics publicly criticized the votes of Victor Hugo and others: "You use your personal friendship to defile the most sacred place in France! Alexandre Dumas is not worthy of entering the Pantheon, he has not made great contributions to the nation and thought !"

Those writers who once gave Wang Qiu face, waited until the critics tore through the line of defense first, followed the true choice in their hearts without hesitation.

They stood against the position of Alexandre Dumas moving his grave.

"Sorry, Mr. Wang Qiu, I don't think he is qualified."

"Mr. Voltaire and Mr. Rousseau are buried in the Pantheon, but the merits engraved on the tombstone are not the sales of literary works, but their spiritual thoughts."

"Yes, those are the giants of thought, the ancestors we respect."

"Duma Dumas is a man who makes money by writing novels!"

"It was said a long time ago that the hundred novels written by Alexandre Dumas are not as good as his son's "La Traviata". It is obvious that the status of popular literature writers is the lowest in the literary world!"

"The potential of Alexandre Dumas is limitless, and maybe he will be eligible to enter the Pantheon in the future, but as long as I live, I will say loudly that Alexandre Dumas is not our French literary example. I don't want him to disturb the peace of the great people in the Pantheon!"

From top to bottom, the dissatisfaction of the French exploded collectively!

When the people at the bottom heard that Dumas was going to be compared with Voltaire, Rousseau and many people who made outstanding contributions, they began to protest Dumas' entry into the Pantheon!

Whether a person is great or not, the people at the bottom are the most qualified to express their opinions.

Dumas was stunned.

He prepared for the work of moving the grave, and set off for his father's hometown, where he was preparing to collect his father's coffin in Ville-Cotterelli, near Paris.

"Oh no--"

Alexandre Dumas received the worst telegram in his life. The French Academy decided to revoke the vote on Alexandre Dumas moving into the Pantheon, and apologized to Alexandre Dumas, believing that the voting process lacked consideration and needed the approval of the public.

Ma Shengqiu was also silent about this result.

The French literary world stabbed them in the back.

This is nothing, there are many writers who are jealous of Dumas and hate Dumas. What really hurts is that the French people deny Dumas.

This is what Victor Hugo wants to remind him of—

[You have to be mentally prepared. 】

Ma Shengqiu also rushed to Alexandre Dumas, and Jules Verne came with him. It was raining, and the shoulders of the three of them were wet from the rain. No one cared about the weather here.

Alexandre Dumas smiled wryly in front of his father's tombstone: "We have failed."

Jules Verne whispered: "It was the enemies of Alexandre Dumas who deliberately discredited Mr. Dumas and belittled those works..."

With a hoarse voice, Dumas interrupted him: "No, those are true."

Jules Verne:"……"

Ma Shengqiu also blanked his eyes for a second, thinking of what was written in the newspaper - five hundred lovers? ? ?

Alexandre Dumas felt a little desolate in the drizzle, and said: "I don't know exactly how many lovers and illegitimate children he has, but we have done our best this time, let it be the price he paid for what he did before. "

Ma Shengqiu also listened to what Dumas said, and his lips moved. Will he have to pay the price for what he did in life after death?

Once a person dies, he cannot completely end the past.

"Think about the good." Dumas fils suppressed his lament, "I'm unlikely to enter the Pantheon in the future, and it would be good for us father and son to be buried outside."

Ma Shengqiu also patted Alexandre Dumas on the shoulder, really unable to say anything.

"Times will judge it differently."

A hundred years from now, Alexandre Dumas will be moved into the Panthéon, but it is a pity that the era at the end of the nineteenth century suppressed this advanced move.

Ma Shengqiu also felt guilty for disturbing the dead. Jules Verne saw his melancholy and said: "Don't blame yourself too much. Mr. Dumas is a person who likes to be lively. What he hoped most before his death was that his works would not be disturbed." will be lost."

Ma Shengqiu also nodded sadly: "I will try my best to promote it."

The will of the people prevails over the wind of public opinion.

In his frustration, he felt the unique madness of this era.

After reading those newspapers and magazines that broke the news, even Ma Shengqiu had to complain about Mr. Dumas as a "scumbag".

He couldn't help reflecting: "Is it unfair to other writers to let Mr. Dumas move into the Pantheon? In the same era, Mr. Balzac's works are no worse than Mr. Dumas's, and Mr. Balzac also failed to move into the Pantheon." Into the Pantheon."

Ma Shengqiu was also afraid that if he pushed Mr. Balzac again, the deceased Mr. Balzac would be the next one to be picked up after Mr. Dumas.

……

In Wenye World, Dumas fils dreamed of a sad and gloomy scene.

His heart was heavy and uncomfortable.

In the dream, he was worshiping his father, who had no chance of moving into the Pantheon in Paris.As a young man, he hadn't cared about the requirements of the Pantheon before, but he felt that he had made a greater contribution to the war than someone who was unknown.

Uncomfortable, Dumas went to visit the Pantheon in Paris, and was stunned when he learned that Mr. Balzac, the predecessor of the Transcendence, was not there.

"Mr. Balzac... are you not qualified?"

Dumas fils couldn't vomit quickly, and after asking his father out, he expressed his depressed thoughts: where are we buried after death?

Dumas was surprised.

How could the son think about death so far away?

Dumas Xiao asked: "I heard that the Panthéon is the best cemetery in Paris, France. Why can't the transcendent be buried in it?"

Alexandre Dumas said in a complicated tone: "The transcendent is a symbol of strength, not our deeds. In the era after the war, those who are most qualified to be buried in it should be those who died for peace."

Alexandre Dumas thought of the despicable and indecent "Seven Betrayers" organization.

Alexandre Dumas reflected on the past through his son's question: what did he bring to France by insisting on the main combat faction?Years of wars have exhausted every country's war reserves, and everyone is unwilling to admit defeat. It will be a mess until the end. Is there anyone who will be the winner in the end of such a war?

Alexandre Dumas and Alexandre Dumas stood silently in front of the Pantheon.

They suddenly discovered a sad thing——

The person who is most qualified to be buried is actually Gabe's biological parents, the French superhuman named "Verne"!

Alexandre Dumas embraced the shoulders of Alexandre Dumas Junior.

"Stop being jealous of Gabe."

"What the child got was in exchange for his parents."

"Just like me, my best thing must be for you, my dear son, open your heart and accept this brother who has no blood relationship."

Dumas's nose was sore when he thought of the feeling of losing his father in the dream.

He was involuntarily obedient for a while.

"Ah."

His parents are alive and in good health, so he doesn't care about Gabe, who became a transcendent after his parents died and inherited the inheritance of different abilities.
