C2977 royalist party escaped

The Versailles, the model of the palace complex in the France. This gorgeous palace that was built in Louis XIV had completely declined in the face of the Great Revolution.

During the Revolution, the Versailles suffered several large-scale raids, the furnishings in the palace, be it furniture, murals, carpets, fireplaces, or chandeliers … Some of the smaller exhibits, including the tiled paintings in the baths, were also looted, even the windows and doors.

In 1793, in order to protect this palace, all of the artwork and remaining exhibits were transported to the Louvre s, causing the Versailles to become an empty shell.

It was not until 1833 that Louis Vuitton of the Orleans dynasty arrived. Only then did King Philip give the order to repair the Versailles, and only then did he gradually recover about half of his former glory.

Until the period of Napoleon III's reign, although the Versailles had not recovered to its peak, they still possessed decent living conditions. Every year, Napoleon III would stay here for a period of time, and he especially liked the Hall of Mirrors s here.

The first time Bismark entered the Hall of Mirrors, he was completely stunned by this Versailles's treasure!

There were as many as seventeen of them, and the huge mirror reflected not only the magnificent frescoes on the ceiling, but also the seventeen enormous windows.

Outside of the window was the Versailles's rear garden. The beautiful scenery of the four seasons could be seen in the mirror.

Bismark stood in the middle of the hall for a good three minutes and did not say anything. He only looked around at the things that were happening, while the palace butler from Versailles humbly smiled and said.

"Esteemed Prime Minister, when the night comes, this palace will be even more imposing. Look at the many crystal lamps above your head, they can even be ignited …"

"The 17 mirrors are all made up of 483 small mirrors of different angles. Some of the mirrors can reflect the light emitted by burning candles …"

"Once the banquet is held, light will shine everywhere, and 150 candles reflected in the mirror will produce the effect of 3,000 candles …" "That is the true splendor of gold and jade …"

Bismark sighed, "Such extravagant and lustful desires, it really doesn't make sense for such an empire to not perish …"

When the palace butler's fawn landed on the horse's leg, he immediately stopped talking. At this time, a Prussian army's guard ran over and whispered to him.

"The Prime Minister... A group of councilors escaped from Paris and said they wanted to see you... It seems to all be from the royalist party's group … "

"Oh? It was fast enough, so there was a reaction... Xiao Letian will definitely develop in Paris, what a cunning guy! "

"Let them come here, I will see them in the Hall of Mirrors!"

The members of the royalist party who escaped from Paris did not expect to be received by the Prime Minister Iron-Blood. One by one, they walked into the Illusory Palace, intoxicated.

These were the Sacred Grounds in the hearts of all the royalist party, including the Tuileries' Palace, Louvre, etc.

The moment the Hall of Mirrors's door was pushed open, when they saw the familiar scene, and thought about the destroyed Paris, a few old councilors' noses started to tear up.

"Prime Minister... Please save Paris... This city is going to be destroyed... The Revolution began again... "Sob, sob, sob …"

The members of royalist party all cried as they recounted their grievances, while Bismark arranged for them to sit down.

Some of the representatives said, "Let Crown Prince ascend the throne. I know that French Emperor has offended your country, so let him accept the punishment … But the France cannot not have an Emperor. Let the Prince Eugen ascend to the throne! "

"If there's no other way, we can just set up an exile government. We can't just hand this country over to those madmen …"

"Prime Minister! The royalty of the world belonged to one family, protecting the Bonaparte Family was also protecting the Hohenzollern family! We can't let these mob manage the government, right? "

"We are willing to accept any conditions. As long as we can restore the empire …"

Bismark looked at these royalist party who were begging in pain. His expression was difficult, but his heart was happy.

Right now, we are in a state of war, the people of France are looking at me with such hatred, what can we do? "

"Whether it's the Chinese people's committee, or the 26 people's committee, or even those who occupy the left wing of the Montmartre plateau, in the end, wasn't it all chosen by you French people?"

"Even if I did, The French people wouldn't listen …"

"No, honorable Prime Minister, you still have a way... I beg of you to order the Crown Prince to return to your homeland, okay? As long as the crown prince is safe, he can quickly form the empire's new army! "

"If this still doesn't work, you can agree to the crown prince's request to form a government in exile. As long as you announce your support for the government in exile, everything will be fine. The royalist party will help the crown prince fight for power …"

Bismark sneered and said, "If we do this, what benefits will we get?"

"Of course there are benefits …" We will pay you a lot of war reparations, and we can also give you a large number of colonies.

"The royal family of the world is one family, the nobles of the world are one family … If we do not unite, we will be bullied to death by those thugs who have no leader or father! "

"Take out your decision! Prime Minister, we can't let Paris go on like this... "

Everything was as Xiao Letian had said. The emperor and the nobles were not nationalist s, and in their hearts, there was only that aristocrat's class or, above that, their bloodline.

The territory and interests of the country were of no concern to them. They had nothing to do with them, but they still had to protect the rights and interests of the nobles. This was what they wanted to protect!

As long as the France could restore the empire or restore the monarch's constitution, even if he cooperated with the invaders, what did it matter?

It didn't matter even if he wanted to cut the land to compensate for it!

In the end, the compensation is still due to the wealth of the people. As for the land reclamation, isn't the entire history of Europe just a history of border change? What did it matter if the border was changed?

Come to think of it, was there a country like the Belgium in the past? Even though they were not separated from the Dutch territory, these matters were not important. What was important was that the aristocrats would always be aristocrats, while the commoner would always be a commoner!

Of course, Bismark did not directly respond to their requests, he only ordered his subordinates to find these representatives a comfortable resting place. The small cities in the Versailles were all commandeered by the army, there were so many empty rooms that they could casually live in.

But before leaving, Bismark had even subtly given these people a bit of hope, "I can't promise you anything right now …" However, it may not be long before a pleasant surprise falls upon you all! "
