2976 Royalists flee
Versailles, a model of the French palace complex, this gorgeous palace built in Louis XIV, was completely declining in the war of the Great Revolution.
During the Great Revolution, the Palace of Versailles was robbed several times. The furnishings in the palace, whether it was furniture, murals, carpets, fireplaces, chandeliers..., some small displays, and tiles in the bathtub were looted, and even doors and windows were stolen.
In 1793, in order to protect the palace, all the artworks and remaining exhibitions here were transported to the Louvre, and the Palace of Versailles became a completely empty shell.
It was not until 1833 that King Louis Philip of the Orleans Dynasty ordered the renovation of Versailles Palace, and gradually restored about half of its glory.
During the reign of Napoleon III, although the Palace of Versailles did not return to its peak, it also had good living conditions. Napoleon III lived here for a period of time every year, especially in love with the Hall of Mirrors here.
When Besme walked into the Hall of Mirror for the first time, he was stunned by the treasure of the palace in Versailles!
The huge floor-to-ceiling mirror composed of 483 lenses has as many as 17 sides. The huge mirror can not only reflect the gorgeous murals on the ceiling, but also correspond to 17 huge windows.
Outside the window is the Versailles rear garden, and the beautiful scenery of all seasons can be presented in the mirror. This design makes the already spacious hall of mirrors bigger.
Bisme stood in the middle of the hall for three minutes without saying anything. He just looked around everything in front of him, and the court housekeeper who stayed at the Palace of Versailles was humbly smiling behind the Prime Minister.
"Dear Prime Minister, this palace is even more magnificent at night. Look at the crystal lanterns with so many candles above your head can be lit..."
"The 17 floor-to-ceiling mirrors are all composed of 483 small mirrors of different angles, and some of them can reflect the burning light of the candle..."
"Once a grand banquet is held, the light is shining here, and the mirror reflects 150 candles, but it can present the effect of three thousand candles... That is the real magnificence..."
Bisme sighed, "It's unreasonable to be arrogant and extravagant, such an empire will not perish..."
The palace housekeeper flattered the horse's legs and immediately did not dare to speak. At this moment, a soldier of the Pu army guard rushed over and whispered.
"The Prime Minister... a group of MPs escaped from Paris, and they kept saying that they wanted to see you... It seemed that they were all from the Royalists..."
"Oh? It's fast enough, and this is a reaction... Xiao Letian is definitely in the development of Paris. What a cunning guy!"
"Let them come here, I will meet them in the Hall of Mirrors!"
The royalists who escaped from Paris did not expect to be received by the Iron-blooded Prime Minister in the Hall of Mirrors, and walked into this dreamy palace one by one.
This is the holy land in the hearts of all royalists, including the Duille Palace, the Louvre, etc. Anyone who is involved in the imperial power is their holy land.
The moment the door of the hall of mirrors was pushed open, when they saw the familiar scene and thought about the ruined Paris, the noses of several old MPs fell from soreness.
"Prime Minister... Please save Paris... This city is going to be destroyed... The revolution has begun again... Woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo w
The royalists cried and told their grievances, while Besmai arranged chairs to sit down politely.
Some members of the parliament said, "Let the crown prince ascend the throne. I know that the French emperor offended your country, so let him accept the punishment... But France cannot be without an emperor, let Prince Eugen ascend the throne!"
"If it really doesn't work, we can form an exiled government. We can't hand over this country to those lunatics..."
"Prime Minister! All the royal families in the world are all one family. Protecting the Bonaparte family is also protecting the Hohenzollern family! We can't let these mobs rule!"
"We are willing to accept any conditions, as long as we can restore the empire..."
Looking at these royalists who begged them, Bisme was embarrassed but happy. The once proud nostrils also knew how to beg?
The play still needs to be done well. "Oh... this is very difficult to deal with. We are in a state of war now. The people of France hate me so much, so what can we do?"
"Whether it is the Republic or the 26-member committee, or even the leftists entrenched in the Montmartre Heights, aren't you French themselves chosen?"
"Even if I speak, the French people won't listen..."
"No, respected Prime Minister, you still have a way... Please order the crown prince to return to the country, okay? As long as the crown prince returns to the country, as long as the crown prince is safe, he can quickly form a new army of the empire!"
"If this is not possible, you verbally promise the prince to form a government in exile. As long as you announce your support for the government in exile, everything will be easier. The royalists in all France will help the prince fight for power..."
Bsme sneered and said, "What's the benefit of doing this?"
"Of course there are benefits... We will pay you a high war reparation, and we can also share a large number of colonies with you, and the conditions can be negotiated!"
"The royal family in the world is a family, and the nobles in the world are a family... If we don't unite, we will bully those tyrants without a king or father!"
"Let's make a decision! Prime Minister, you can't let Paris go so chaotic..."
Everything is as Xiao Letian said. The emperor and the nobles are not nationalists. They only have the class of the nobles or a higher level of blood.
Territory and national interests do not matter, they have nothing to do with them. Protecting the rights and interests of the nobles is everything they want to protect!
As long as France can restore the empire or constitutional monarchy, what does it have to do even if it cooperates with the invaders?
It doesn’t matter if you cede land compensation!
The final compensation is the wealth of the people. As for cede land, isn’t the entire history of Europe a history of border changes? What’s the relationship between the border lines?
To put it bluntly, was there a country like Belgium before? It was not split from the Netherlands. These things are not important. What is important is that the nobles will always be nobles, and the untouchables will always be untouchables!
Of course, Pesme did not respond directly to their request, but ordered his subordinates to find a comfortable place for these members of parliament. The small town of Versailles was basically requisitioned by the army, so there were so many empty rooms that could be lived in at will.
