Solovyov in Tsarist Russia 1796

Chapter 226 038 There should be no conspiracy in the literary salon

Soloviev was often invited to Madame Recamier's salon on Mont Blanc Avenue, and he had to go.

After all, sometimes social occasions still require mutual support, and his appearance in such literary salons can also win some support.

Speaking of which, Soloviev can also feel that interpersonal relationships in the 19th century are actually much more chaotic than those in the 21st century, but there are still some basic bottom lines, that is, playing dirty tricks. Now we can see that the British often use "carriage bombs" to take away the lives of an innocent girl and more innocent citizens, and they chose a sacred day for the church.

However, the great shortcomings and virtues of the British in this era are not as outrageous as in the future. If you want to do something without a bottom line, there may be other ways.

For example, Marie Therese of the Little Cake never gave birth to a child in her life.

Then, according to the news that Solovyov learned from the nanny from Vienna, at least the body of the little cake princess is innocent now, just like the hostess of this salon, Madame Recamier. The cousins ​​are not infertile. I always feel that their life in the UK is not very good.

Thinking of Tsar Paul in St. Petersburg, he has been trying his best to retain Louis XVIII and Count Artois, and those French nobles stayed in Russia. In fact, there is also a point that it is safer for them.

The British, who knows how much they can do without the bottom line, the French are also easy to break the bottom line, but they always do a face project.

Even in ancient Rome, it is generally necessary to declare "public enemies" before killing, unless there are special circumstances, but that is also a contradiction among the people. It is not like the British, both inside and outside, they may make things happen.

For example, recently Parisians know about the British royal family. Princess Amelia, the most beloved youngest daughter of George III, her marriage with her lover was interfered with by the House of Commons, requiring her to be engaged after she turned 25.

"The British are really not free. From the king to the common people, everyone is in jail."

Soloviev's words were obviously agreed by the French present.

"And they are also terrorists who want to attack the First Consul, and many people outside Russia know what they are doing. Now their king has to face such a group of guys, and he may get sick again at any time. In addition, although the Prince of Wales has a daughter, neither London nor Hanover is willing to change their inheritance law. Sooner or later, the British will lose their territory in Europe."

"It is a permanent separation, Mr. Lieutenant Colonel. And we French people are deeply sympathetic to the tragedy of His Majesty Emperor Paul."

And the French also knew that Solovyov was once Paul's bodyguard and commander of the Guards Battalion, and Alexander's aide-de-camp, and this identity was still spread through Count Morkov.

"I'm not surprised at what the British cabinet and the House of Commons will do. They don't need my script to imprison the royal family and civilians, the Irish, the Scots, the Welsh and the English, in a prison called the British Isles."

"But this script is very interesting."

"Thank you, Madame Recamier, but it involves a tripartite relationship, so I'm afraid such a script will not be approved. In other words, when the relationship between Britain and France, Britain and Russia deteriorates in the future, this script can be performed in Paris and St. Petersburg."

General Moreau came here today to be a spectator. Although he was happy to hold his son at home, his wife was really unsatisfied. She talked about his current status every day, and it took a huge amount of money to maintain the official residence and the manor. She even knew how to make money.

This wife was chosen by him. Out of loyalty to marriage, he couldn't leave his wife, not to mention the dowry she brought and the support of her friends in her circle, which were all very important.

And this wife is young, only 21 years old this year, just a little older than the marriage partner Napoleon offered.

If Hortense is a well-behaved wife, she will stay at home to take care of the children. A well-behaved wife is actually very important. Even if she can't give birth to children, at least she should be able to manage the household and at least not cause trouble.

"But peace is still better."

"As long as some people don't provoke disputes, it will be fine."

"Mr. Lieutenant Colonel, your point is correct. If no one provokes disputes, peace will continue. But there will always be conflicts. Britain, France, Russia, Austria and Prussia, as well as the Ottoman Empire and Spain, these major countries, all hope to maintain peace."

"That always requires a system to avoid possible disputes. Wars that occur for any reason in Europe or anywhere on the earth may change the balance of power, which is what we all want to avoid."

"Indeed, it is better to maintain a balance."

"If this balance is broken, the price will be high, and Europe may be a bloodbath. As a diplomat, I hope to maintain peace, and as a soldier, I also hope to be peaceful."

"Also"

"Mr. Chabdorion, what do you want to say?"

"Although my wife has been in jail in London, I don't want people on the European continent to be in jail either."

Although Madame Recamier and Chabdorion were in the same salon, they were not as familiar with each other as they were later in the salon of the monastery, and this speech was also his recent thoughts expressed by Napoleon in Paris.

To be honest, the British are not that good to the French.

Moreover, Solovyov did not say a word against the British, but let the French present know that he was against the British cabinet, but only on the political level.

After all, his personal loyalty to Tsar Paul was there.

This position, coupled with his unfriendly attitude towards the British, led him to adopt such rhetoric.

"But now is not the time to discuss politics. What is the story of the script you brought today?"

"It's a comedy. I think comedy is more interesting. The main characters are three people and a dog. In Gaul in 50 BC, the Republican calendar could not be used at that time. Instead, it could be started from the founding of Rome, 603 AD. At this time, Caesar had occupied the whole of Gaul?"

"He had occupied the whole of Gaul, and he was about to cross the Rubicon River, sir."

"Thank you, Mr. Constant, but that is a historical fact, and our story starts from a Gaul village. This small village has never fallen."

"It sounds unlikely, Michel. Even in Alesia, Vercingetorix had 250,000 people attacking from both inside and outside, but he could not win."

"But this story is still worth listening to. For this reason, I asked Mr. Virgie's niece Julie to draw some characters with pencils."

Julie's basic skills are still not good at the oil painting level. The cartoon images she drew with pencils are still quite accurate, especially this one pays more attention to the exaggerated techniques and funny stories.

"Although the image is somewhat different from what I expected, it can be regarded as inspired by a friend."

Soloviev has a good point, that is, if he quotes the works in the future, he will still respect the copyright. Even in the "parallel world", he will indicate the source and get the inspiration from the "friend".

It's like this after all, the Gaul hero fights Caesar, and then the story in it.

"Ah, this is really interesting. You are a good storyteller. If it is put on the stage, it will also be a funny comedy."

The French can still hear the funny points in it, especially some stereotypes, and Caesar is not very popular in the Republic.

"Just everyone should pay attention that the relationship between the village and Caesar is not always a struggle. Most of the time, it is peaceful. And if Caesar encounters any trouble, the village will help."

Of course, many of the plots where Brutus was spoofed can be removed. It will not be too late to spoof it again when Brutus is not so popular in the future.

Caesar's personal charm cannot be changed even if he is really a bald man. At least he has always been tolerant of his enemies.

It's Napoleon. Although he is sometimes narrow-minded, he is still a "small-minded Caesar" and still very charming.

"Our story can be performed in the theater or adapted into other art forms."

"As long as it is not like Julie's illustrations, although she made a cartoon image, there is also an oil painting. I know my niece best. She sometimes likes to do this. When drawing a snake, she adds legs, which makes it a lizard or a gecko."

"It may be something else. I am actually very interested in biological classification. But there are no biologists here. The theme of our salon is culture."

"Maybe you can also discuss this issue with chemists and engineers, sir. I believe your talent is not in the script."

"But too much energy is scattered in It's not good to go elsewhere. It's just that I'm still young now, and while this creative passion and talent have not left me far away, I can still remember the ideas provided by my friends and speed up to complete them. "

"I also wish you success in literary creation, Michel."

"Thank you, and thank you everyone. Now my speech is almost over. Next time I will bring a new script or some other ideas. "

As for the "Gallic Heroes" series, it is aimed at children, so it is still performed in the same theater. After all, the performance conditions of puppet shows and various comedies here are also very mature. If necessary, they can also go to the French Theater to perform a series of funny comedies.

Mrs. Recamier also likes this young officer a little bit. After all, he looks good, talented and aggressive. The only problem is that he is passively aggressive, because he wins six duels a day, which makes people afraid.

"Sir, when the salon is over, the lady wants to see you."

Mrs. Recamier asked her attendant to inform Soloviev, but when she was left alone, there was always something else to talk about. Even when she was with Lucien Bonaparte and General Moreau, she did not develop a deep friendship with them. When she shared her friendship, she just chatted.

It was a good thing that the lady was interested in him. After all, her husband was a banker, and he was mainly engaged in the shipping business and financing of related enterprises.

When the salon was over, Soloviev also knew this situation, and he went around in circles before coming back.

"Come on, Michel, I know you are very talented, and Russians are so enthusiastic and have a unique sense of humor."

"Madam, what do you want to say? Although I am a diplomat and a soldier, I am not willing to talk about political issues. We all follow instructions."

"Do you think there can be long-lasting peace with the British? My husband runs a bank and is also a director of the Bank of France, but with the British."

"Madam, I understand what you mean. Are you worried about political instability?"

"Yes, it's very unstable, that's what I think, but"

Madame Recamier, it seems that she really discussed political issues with the people around Napoleon, and she was still unstable.

"Your idea is possible. If the glass can break, it is really a diamond, and its composition is also made of flammable substances. If you don't believe it, maybe one day you can confirm it through experiments. Of course, my It means that under certain conditions, it is also unstable. As a foreigner, I am suitable to express peaceful opinions in Paris, rather than destroying Carthage like old Cato all day long, even if I am involved in the murder of the British. So it is with benefactors and princes.”

"I know you are an upright young man, and you are so handsome. I kind of like you."

However, Mrs. Recamier's statement was obviously somewhat provocative, and she would not give her sincerity at such a time.

"Madam, I understand what you mean, but nothing strange happens to British people. I think there are times when you need to be careful."

Although Madame Recamier is only the hostess of the salon, she still knows what the celebrities who appear here do, and she is still very concerned about her husband's career.

She doesn't know the specific reason, and there are many speculations from the outside world that this marriage was platonic from beginning to end. Many people even think that the lady is actually the illegitimate daughter of Mr. Jacques Recamier. Only this kind of marriage The combination can ensure that the property will fall into the hands of the lady.

However, Mr. Recamier did not believe it. He believed that there would be long-lasting peace, and even wanted to increase his position.

Well, I can only wish him good luck. Who knows what will happen recently?

With the British methods, it was not impossible for Britain and France to enter a state of war in 1803. That would be a disaster for a group of French capitalists who were more inclined to overseas trade.

Moreover, the lady herself is said to have "a woman's perspective".
