Chapter 1528 The fatal gift

Except for Louis and Letizia, both men and women in the Bonaparte family like to attract bees and butterflies.

Georgiana sat on a chair in the study room of the Burgundy Mansion and looked at the fifty-year-old information in her hand, but could not read a single word. Lucien also had many mistresses, not to mention Joseph, and even the underage Gerero.

This is also the case, I learned to live and drink at a young age.

Sometimes young people make choices without careful consideration due to lack of experience and reason. The responsibility of adults is to correct them, rather than being influenced by their enthusiasm and falling into it.

Josephine's tolerance has a limit, and she will not endure it endlessly. Georgina was not approached by Napoleon on a whim, and Georgina is different from Giuseppina, perhaps because of her natural simplicity.

I won't do anything as ridiculous and stupid as Ms. G.

If Bonaparte is the Trojan prince, then Josephine, Georgiana and Georgina are the three graceful goddesses in front of him, and he wants to give the golden apple, his heart, to one of them.

Josephine is Hera, and Georgina is Venus, the goddess of love. Georgiana shamelessly plays the role of Athena, the goddess of wisdom, and she cannot lose her mind.

To achieve long-term peace, we must first make this peace profitable, so that it is possible to defeat an equally profitable war. Fox seems to advocate trade liberalization like Chaptal, so he wants to use this very unusual method.

Officially met with French Interior Minister Chaptard.

Coqueber's idea of ​​"equivalent exchange" will not work either. French products are all luxury goods, which some people are proud of. But if that is really done, France's civilian industry will suffer.

A heavy blow. The more French luxury goods are exported, the more British cheap cotton and woolen fabrics are imported. It is impossible to reduce the price of luxury goods in any case. The reason why luxury goods are luxurious is because of their high price. Cheap luxury goods

What is the logic?

Portugal also signed a peace treaty of "equal mutual trade" with the United Kingdom, and now it has become almost a colony of the United Kingdom. It is completely economically dependent on the United Kingdom. Once the United Kingdom stops importing Portuguese wine, Portugal's main industry will collapse, including Brazilian steel.

Trade will open up new avenues of money. She read in a book written by an economist that the level of land rent is an indicator of the wealth and poverty of a country.

No farmer wants high land rents. Land rents in Europe are generally depreciating now, but under this overall trend, land rents in Britain and France are still much higher than in countries like Poland.

The steel trade will increase Portugal's land rent in the colonies. Will Portugal remember whose "favor" this is?

As long as the Methuen Treaty exists, it is impossible for French wine to obtain the same tariff preferences as Portugal, unless the United Kingdom opens a free trade port on the mainland, so that French wine merchants can use William Petty's method to

The wine was transported to the free port and sold secretly, and then returned with full barrels of water and released at sea, thus evading tariffs.

This is not smuggling, but "reasonable" use of the loopholes of the free trade port. British businessmen are very good at exploiting these loopholes.

The same was true for Napoleon. He took advantage of a loophole in the Sieyes Constitution. The constitution stipulated that the First Consul was not allowed to lead troops but did not say that he was not allowed to accompany the army. This way he could lead troops to Italy again after the Coup of Brumaire. He also took advantage of it during the Directory period.

He solved the loopholes in the constitution and did not transport confiscated spoils of war. The key was to transport the money to the central treasury. He replaced the Directory and became the one who pays the soldiers. He also led the way, so of course the soldiers supported him.

The international law of secrecy for wizards also has loopholes. The law only stipulates that wizards are not allowed to harm Muggles at will, but it does not stipulate the punishment if Muggles accuse wizards of witchcraft. Albus's sister Ariana was harmed by Muggles

In order to avenge her, his father hurt the three Muggle teenagers. Eventually, Percivaldo was imprisoned in Azkaban. Albus Dumbledore had to give up his dream to take care of the family, and then he

Met Grindelwald, and then had a daydream-like love affair.

Paris is a romantic and passionate city, but the undercurrent of passion is hidden under the flashy surface and is easily invisible.

The ministers objected to Georgiana being with their First Consul because they hoped that he could remain rational and not make irrational judgments because of love and lust.

Caesar was not only a military strategist, he was also a sacrifice to the god of love. In his era, the god of love had replaced Zeus and became the main god worshiped by the Romans.

The power of love is so great that it not only dazzles people, but also makes people choose to believe no matter what kind of lies they tell.

Until one day too many lies made love unbearable. How could a young, graceful and plump body not be attractive at all? Georgiana did not mean to look down on Napoleoni, he was just a man, and he was not because of George

Although Na likes her because she is young, he still has the aesthetics of a normal man.

He fell in love with a woman, no matter her real age or what she was wearing.

The first half of the date by the canal was good. She actually hoped that he could stay like that forever. Although he was younger than her, she didn't mind having more unrelated brothers.

Why can't time stop at that moment?

She let out a long sigh, let herself slump in the chair, and stared at the ceiling inlaid with carved wooden boards as if she was out of body.

Not long after, she heard hurried footsteps.

"Madam, please come and take a look!" A maid stood at the door and said to her.

"What happened?" Georgiana asked.

"We found an altar," the maid said. "The workers don't dare to move it now."

Georgiana stood up and followed the maid to the mansion next to the tower.

The altar was found in a military camp under construction. The Mamluks were also watching. When they saw Georgiana appearing, they all made way.

The room that was originally used as the green room had a magic circle carved on the floor. Sunlight shone in through the window and could be seen without lighting a lamp.

She looked at the magic circle on the ground. There was no sheep's head or inverted five-pointed star. It didn't look like it was used for Satan worship rituals.

"Why is there an altar here?" Georgiana asked everyone.

No one answered her.

They are all foreigners, and some even come from distant Egypt. How can they understand the history of this land?

At this moment, a Mamluk suddenly knelt at her feet.

"Please give me strength, princess." The Mamluk knelt on the ground and looked up at Georgiana, saying in French with a foreign accent.

She was a little shocked, and then other Mamluks also knelt on the ground.

"Please give me strength." the Mamluks said in unison.

At this time, Belle was the only one standing.

"You should not want power that is not yours." Georgiana said sharply.

Belle immediately translated this sentence into Arabic.

"We want the strength to protect you." The Mamluk who led the kneeling said in French.

"What's your name?" Georgiana asked the man.

"You can call me Shadi," said the Mamluk, "or you can give me a name."

Georgiana finally understood what her name was.

Josephine's real name was not Josephine, but Rose, but Napoleon kept calling her that, and everyone thought she was Josephine.

"What does your name mean?" Georgiana asked.

"Happiness," said the serious Mamluk.

Georgiana looked at the altar and walked around it.

It is very complicated. The magic circle is depicted on the white marble with golden lines. It looks very gorgeous, but does not feel the evil power.

"Seal this place up and no one can come near it." She said to the Mamluks, "Wait until I find out what is going on."

"As you command," Shadi said, and the other Mamluks responded in agreement.

"Get up," Georgiana said to Shady. "A free man should not kneel."

Shadi didn't stand up.

She leaned into his ear and whispered, "Maybe what you want is a curse."

"Do you think Adam and Eve would regret eating the forbidden fruit in the Garden of Eden?" Shadi asked.

"You idiot." She said impatiently.

Shadi smiled, "I heard that the ancient Germans believed that 'gift' has a double meaning. On the one hand, it is a gift, and on the other hand, it is poison. The gold from the Rhine will kill the person who wins it, and it will be used as a sacred gift."

Heroes who feast on cups will die; they are not going to Valhalla."

"How do you know this?"

"This is knowledge we pass down orally, like those stories about the constellations."

Georgiana looked at Shady interestingly.

It seems that it is not just rumors that are spread by word of mouth.

"Since you are asking for death." She whispered, "You will get what you want, get up."

Shadi was not ecstatic, he stood up calmly.

After he stood up, other Mamluks also stood up one after another.

She once heard Frank Longbottom say, don't waste your "gift".

Most non-linguists would probably not think of gifts as being associated with poison.

Just like the poisoned apple, Snow White didn't think about it when she took it from the witch. If there hadn't been a "prince" passing by, her death would have been in vain. In comparison, she pitied the witch even more

Queen, after Snow White gained power, she asked her stepmother to put on red-hot iron shoes and make the queen "dance" until she died.

Georgiana said nothing, she turned and left.

What a pity, she is not a kind woman, but an evil witch, so she is jealous of women who can remain innocent and get love.

She hates Snow White, no matter how beautiful she is.

If she used a soldering iron to leave a mark on that world-beautiful face, how would other people react? Without her beautiful face, would the "prince" still love her?

She walked out of the room and looked up at the blue sky. She suddenly wanted to transform her Animagus into a swan and fly away from this stinky city that covered the smell with perfume to find a quiet lake. It was so quiet.

Look at your reflection in the lake.

What a happy thing that would be.
