Fox of France

　　 At noon on Sunday, just after lunch, Amon took Joseph to a cafe near the bishop’s palace. The Bishop's Palace is the private domain of the great nobleman, the Duke of Orleans. The eldest son of the old duke, His Royal Highness Duke Charles, who also has "Joseph" in his name, transformed the promenade of the Bishop's Palace into various shops and cafes. Because these places are the private domains of the great nobles, the Kingdom Police has no right to enforce the law here, so here has become an "extra-legal land" where ordinary civilians can freely enter and exit.

　　 In this way, this place has become the center of "illegal activities" throughout Paris, and there is no one. All kinds of smuggling, trading of prohibited items, and gatherings that conspired against the church and the king’s organization are often carried out here. This was an important meeting place for the later famous Jacobins.

And the Duke of Charles who provided all this (he later inherited his father’s title and became the Duke of New Orleans) himself, although a relative of the king and one of the largest feudal lords in France, was a staunch liberal, let -A faithful follower of Jacques Rousseau. He firmly believed in the Enlightenment and advocated the establishment of a democratic, constitutional monarchy in France with separation of church and state. At the same time, he also believed that feudal feudalism and slavery should be abolished, and he was good friends with many "conspirators".

　　 Amon took Joseph and sat down on a seat by the window in the cafe. At this time, the afternoon sun was shining through the window on a bright red rose placed in the center of the dining table.

　　 "It seems that we came a little earlier than Mr. Thenardier." Amon laughed.

　　 A maid came up and said, "What do you want, gentlemen?"

　　 "Two cups of coffee, thank you." Amon said.

　　 The maid stepped back, and soon came over with a tray, and put two cups of coffee in front of them.

　　 "Six Sus." The maid said.

　　 The rent that Duke Charles rented out the shops was quite low, but he also had his own requirements, that is, the prices of the things in these shops must be relatively cheap. Sometimes, the Duke himself would put on trousers, pretend to be an ordinary person, and wander around in these cafes, bars and other shops.

　　 Aman put eight Su’s coins into the maid’s tray. The maid said thanks and turned and left.

"Joseph, you can't stay in your own house all the time, and you have to come here often when you have time. Here you can meet all kinds of people and learn more." Aman took a sip of coffee Tao.

　　 Joseph was about to answer, but saw that the door of the cafe was pushed open, and a man in his forties in a gray duffel jacket came in. As soon as the man came in, he craned his neck and looked around.

　　 Aman raised an arm and waved at him. Then he said to Joseph: "This is Captain Thenardier. He is blinder than the brown bear in the Ardennes. He can't see clearly if he is a little further away."

Thenardier had obviously seen them, so he strode over, took a chair by himself, sat down beside the two of them, and laughed: "Amon, my eyes are indeed as blind as a brown bear, but My ears and nose are as sensitive as a brown bear, and I heard everything you said about me. Haha...well, this is Mr. Bonaparte? I’m the director of the Dragon and Rose Troupe, Thenardier. Henry Thenardier. You can directly call me Henry."

　　 While talking, Dana stretched out his hand to Joseph first.

　　 Joseph stretched out his hand and held his hand and said: "Joseph Bonaparte. I am Amon's classmate..."

　　 "Bad friends." Amang added on the side.

　　 "You can also call me Joseph directly." Joseph said.

"Ah, Joseph, what I'm here for, Amon should have told you about it." Thenardier said, "In fact, for a long time, our troupe has always needed a really well-educated screenwriter. I have been there before. Hit Aman’s idea. But Amang is a lazy guy, and there are so many things. Please ask him for a favor. You have to wait a long time. The idea you gave us last time is really great, especially the curtain call At that time, the audience’s applause almost lifted the roof. In addition, I read some of the scripts you translated, plus Amon’s recommendation, Joseph, I think you can completely replace Amon’s role. I just don’t know you have it now. Not interested, come to my small theater company to work part-time as a screenwriter."

　　 While several people were discussing ways of cooperation, the door of the cafe was opened again. This is also a common thing. A coffee shop is a place where people come and go. It is the most common thing for someone to come in and someone to go out. Everyone doesn't even bother to look there.

　　 A middle-aged man in his thirties wearing a black hat and trousers with a pair of green eyes and a light red beard walked in. He looked around, he saw Amang and the others all at once, and walked over directly: "Amang, I didn't expect to meet you here."

　　 "Ah... Mr. Philip." After seeing this Mr. Philip, Amon's words clearly paused.

　　 "Why, it's not like I introduce your two friends." Mr. Philip asked.

"Ah... Mr. Philip," Amon seemed to be a little flustered, he hurriedly stood up and introduced the other two people to Mr. Philip, "This is my classmate Joseph, Joseph Bonaparte. This is... This is the Dragon and Rose Troupe Mr. Thenardier..."

　　 When Joseph and Thenardier saw Amon’s performance, they knew that Mr. Philip's identity must be unusual, so they all stood up and greeted Mr. Philip.

"You don't have to be so polite, everyone sit down." Mr. Philip said, "Let me introduce myself. I am a friend of Amon's uncle, Mr. Lavoisier, so I recognize Amon. I'm fine today. Come here to sit down. I happened to see Aman, so come and take a look. Well, what are you talking about?"

"Mr. Thenardier is the director of the Dragon and Rose Troupe and is also my friend. He needs to find a screenwriter with a high artistic appreciation. And my classmate Joseph meets his requirements, so I introduce them Come here to meet." Amang quickly replied.

"Dragon and Rose Troupe?" Philip laughed, "Ah, that's the one who performed "The Governor of the Island", right? Well, the performance was good, I went to watch it. Especially when the curtain call was finally made, your Sancho suddenly stood up It’s straight, it’s the tallest one among the actors. It’s really interesting. But the best thing is your intention. Noble people may not be smart and honest, but humble people can be noble. The script is good! Who wrote this script?"

Although Thenardier didn’t know the origin of this Mr. Philip, he judged from Amon’s attitude and Philip who claimed to be a friend of Amon’s uncle Lavoisier, he also judged that Mr. Philip did not look like his clothes. That's ordinary. He is probably a person of great status, and even... a conjecture suddenly popped up in Thenardier's heart.

So he replied respectfully: "Mr. Philip, I made the script of this script myself. Later, Amon helped me revise it again, and it was completely different. As for the tall man playing Sancho in the end, this Mr. Bonaparte’s creativity."

"Ah, Amand, I'm so glad to hear that you have done some really meaningful things." Philip smiled. "Mr. Thenardier, um, Joseph, you are Amon's classmate, so I will call you Joseph. Yeah. Drama is a great art that can influence and educate many people. I hope I can see more of your good works in the future."

　　 Having said that, he stood up, raised his hat slightly and said: "I saw a friend of mine coming. I'm deprived of it first."

　　 After saying this, he left their table and walked to the other side.

　　 Seeing Philip go far away, Thenardier lowered his voice and said, "Amon, this Mr. Philip..."

　　 Amon also lowered his voice and said, "He is the master here, UU reading www.uukanshu.com, His Royal Highness Louis Philip Joseph, Duke Charles. I didn't expect to meet him here."

　　 "This is His Royal Highness, Duke Charles?" Joseph was also taken aback, "I can't see that it is a great nobleman at all."

　　 "His Royal Highness was originally a unique nobleman, he and the queen are exactly two extremes." Amang whispered.

Joseph didn’t have a history in his previous life. He only knew a few rough things about the great revolution soon after. He didn’t know the key role played by the duke, who was later called the "Equal Philip". . The characters he can remember are the so-called "Three Jacobins" Robespierre, Mara, and Dandong.

However, Joseph did not want to have too deep contact with these people at this time. For a period of time after the beginning of the Revolution, the situation was too chaotic. Today, John cut off Luke’s head, and tomorrow Matthew cut off John’s head. Anyone who is too close is dangerous and may go to the guillotine. Joseph even planned to find an excuse to go back to Corsica before the revolution began.

　　 The three people continued to negotiate the way of cooperation and remuneration, and then they left each other.

　　 When he returned to his residence, he saw Father Jean Jacques walking over with a letter: "Ah, Joseph, are you back? Well, your brother sent you a letter."

　　 Joseph quickly accepted the letter, thanked Father Jean Jacques, and returned to his room. I sat down at the table by my small window, picked up the small knife on the table, cut open the envelope, took out the letter and read it.

　　 The content of the letter was actually something that Joseph had known for a long time. Napoleon successfully got the recommendation. After about a month, that is, around November 20th, he could leave for Paris.
