Fox of France

Chapter 43: , Brittany Club (2)

   "I thought you were being hunted down and you want to seek refuge with me." Joseph laughed, "but you just came here, just to have dinner together."

  He led Amang in, and turned his head to shout to the busy maid in the other room: "Aunt Sophie, go and bring my friend a set of tableware."

   After speaking, he sat down and looked at Amon and said, "Why, what kind of high-end invitation did you get, asking me to come and join you?"

   "I did get a special invitation-to perform at Royal Palace." Amon proudly showed off.

   "Ah, now you are really famous." Joseph laughed.

   Sophie had already brought the tableware up by this time.

   "Aunty Sophie, please help take out the bottle of brandy in my cabinet. I want to have a drink with Amon to celebrate." Joseph said happily.

   "Yeah." Sophie responded and turned around.

   "But Amon, I may not be able to go to your performance this time." Joseph said with a regretful look. Now the outbreak of the Great Revolution is just around the corner. Although Joseph's previous life history was learned from his physical education teacher, he also knew that for a period of time after the Revolution, until his cheap brother Napoleon entered the political stage, the political situation in France was the same. "Coax you to sing and let me go on stage." Today, the nobles and royalists will be hung up on street lights, and the profiteers and traitors will be hung up on street lights tomorrow. The changes are too drastic and too dangerous. Joseph felt that it is best to keep a certain distance from those political figures.

"No, no, no, Joseph, you made a mistake." Amon said, "The invitation I was talking about is not an invitation for this performance. I know you are very busy, and this is not the first performance, so there is no I am ready to invite so many more friends."

   "Then what is the invitation letter you mentioned?" Joseph had a vague premonition.

   "It's an invitation from a club." Amon said as he took out the invitation letter from his side and handed it over.

   Joseph took the letter and glanced at the envelope. The envelope read: "Mr. Joseph Bonaparte personally open it." The scribbling office signed the name: "MaximilienFran?ois Marie Isidorede Robespierre".

   Before Joseph had time to figure out who this was, Aunt Sophie had already brought the bottle of brandy.

   "Thank you, Aunt Sophie." Amon took the bottle, poured himself a glass, and poured a half glass for Joseph.

"Maximilian Francois Marie Isido de Robespierre... Robespierre!" Joseph finally understood, the last name in the long list of names scared It made him sweat all over.

   "Yes, Representative Robespierre. Uncorrupted." Amon answered while drinking.

   Joseph lowered his head and took out the letter paper from the envelope to look like, and at the same time, he used this to hide his panic.

   "What, Joseph?" Amon more or less noticed what was wrong with Joseph, and said, "If you are too busy with things, you can not go. Anyway, it's just a club invitation. What's the problem?"

   "If I can't go, who wants to go!" Joseph thought. He knew that at this time, he didn't go because he was "busy in scientific research", probably Robespierre would not be too angry. But now that Robespierre is not angry, that does not mean that Robespierre will not be angry in the future.

   Robespierre is not angry now, it is because his status is not higher than that of Joseph, and he cannot do anything to Joseph. But in the future, when the wealthy city is at his feet and the powerful country is in his hands, when he can send all the people who offended him to the guillotine with just one sentence, he will think of this again. At that time, would it be so tolerant? Joseph was not sure about this. Because that is the legendary "Killer" Robespierre!

   But this invitation is for him to join the "Club Brittany", it does not seem to be the "Jacobin Club". (Joseph’s history was taught by a physical education teacher, so he didn’t even know that "Club Brittany" was the predecessor of "Club Jacobin".) Joining it shouldn't be a terrible thing. Besides, not all of the people who have joined the Jacobin Club have gone to the guillotine. But if you are hated by the "Big Devil" and can't think of getting on the guillotine, the chances are much smaller.

   "There is always time to participate." Joseph raised his head and said, "Of course, after all, I am different from those delegates. I am unlikely to attend every assembly of them."

   "Of course, this is not a problem at all." Amand said, looking at his expression, he didn't understand how much trouble he caused Joseph at all.

   "Well, I am very honored to receive this invitation." Joseph said.

   "Then we have a toast?" Amon never let go of the opportunity to drink with others.

   "Okay." Joseph put on a big smile and raised his glass...

   sent Amon away, Joseph couldn't help but cursed: "TMD!" This classmate is really troublesome, and this provokes the big devil. This is really...

   But cursing can't solve the problem now. So Joseph could only calm himself first, and then think carefully about how he should respond.

  ……

   Soon it was the time agreed in the invitation letter. Joseph changed his clothes, got on a chaise, left Paris, and came to the Wang’s tennis court near Versailles. The meeting place of the Constitutional Convention is here, and the "Friends of Constitutionalism Club" now uses a hall in the Wang's tennis court as their venue for activities.

   Joseph got out of the carriage outside the gate of Wang's tennis court and handed the invitation letter to the gatekeeper. After a while he saw a well-groomed young man approaching.

   "Is it Mr. Bonaparte? I am Robespierre, the representative of the Constituent Assembly." The young man extended his hand to Joseph.

   "I am glad to have your invitation." Joseph replied.

   Robespierre took Joseph into the Wang's tennis court. As he walked, he also introduced Joseph to the surrounding buildings.

   When two people walked into the activity hall of the "Friends of Constitutional Government Club", the hall was full of people. Robespierre chatted with other people from time to time and introduced Joseph to those friends. His face was full of smiles, and he couldn't see the momentum of the "big devil" at all.

   "Hey, Bonaparte, I didn't expect to see you here." Just as Joseph was talking with Robespierre and his friends, a voice came over.

   Joseph turned his head and saw that the Duke of Orleans was walking towards him.

   "His Royal Highness, I didn't expect you to be here?" Joseph said while bending over to salute.

"Don't be so polite, we are old friends." The Duke of Orleans patted him affectionately on the shoulder and said, "What? It was strange to see me in the Brittany Club. What's so strange about this. , I am also a supporter of constitutionalism and a member of the Brittany Club."

   Indeed, the Duke of Orleans and the Marquis of Lafayette are all members of the Brittany Club, and even the leaders of this club at one time.

   In fact, in the original history, the Brittany Club, which later became the Jacobin Club, became a radical leftist organization, and that would have to wait until the trial of Louis XVI. Because of the different attitudes towards the king, the Jacobin Club split. In the club’s election, Robespierre, who had radically advocated the death penalty for the king, was elected as the chairman, and a group of people who advocated the king Leaving the club under the leadership of the Marquis of Lafayette, the Jacobin Club has become a radical leftist organization since then. The Duke of Orleans continued to stay in the Jacobin Club, hoping to use the power of the Jacobins to kill Louis XVI so that he could become King of France. As a result, stealing chickens didn't lose the rice, instead letting myself go to the guillotine.

   "Bonaparte~www.readwn.com~ I will introduce you a friend. He actually wanted to know you a long time ago," said the Duke of Orleans.

   Then he looked to the left and right, and then said to a servant who was following him, to call Gilbert over there.

   The servant then passed to the left. Joseph followed him with his gaze and saw a tall middle-aged man in a wig talking with others there. The servant walked over, and when the man had finished talking, he whispered something to him. Then Joseph saw that the man raised his head and looked over here. He obviously noticed Joseph too, smiled at him, and strode over.

"Gilbert, I'll introduce a friend to you." said the Duke of Orleans. "This is Bonaparte, our genius scientist. Well, the name is the same as me, Joseph Bonaparte. It is an accurate measurement of the speed of light. The one."

   Then he turned and introduced Joseph to the tall middle-aged man in front of him: "This is the Marquis of Lafayette, the hero of North American independence."

   This person, Joseph knows a little bit. This is due to the fact that in the forum of later generations, someone asked how to treat the emperor and said that if there is no sister, you see, the French will all speak German? Someone replied: "If it hadn't been for the French army led by Lafayette to help the United States by King Louis, Washington would have long been hanged by the British for treason. Of course, the Lord God still speaks English, but His title is about to change from chief commander to governor." Then there were good people who added the title of "Father of the United States" to Louis XVI.

  After this era, Joseph knew even better, because Lafayette was one of the few generals in France who won the war against Britain, and he had high prestige in the army. So he saluted the Marquis de Lafayette: "It's an honor to see you, Lord Marquis."
