Make France Great Again

Chapter 972 Questioning the Sardinian Ambassador

March 5, 1858.

Following the submission of a report by the Minister of the Interior, Paisini, to the Tuileries Palace titled "On the Course of the Extraordinary Criminal Case that Occurred Outside the Paris Opera House on January 13," the investigation of Orsini and his three The trial of the accomplices also officially began.

Inside the Tuileries Palace.

Jérôme Bonaparte, who lowered his head and read the report carefully from beginning to end, raised his head again, glanced at Pesini sitting opposite him, nodded with a smile and said, "This report is very well written! I Very satisfied, whose handiwork is this?"

After hearing Jérôme Bonaparte's words of encouragement, Pesini, who looked slightly nervous, finally relaxed.

Until then, Pepesini did not know whether the report written by him would satisfy His Majesty the Emperor.

After all, Pesini has not written a report himself for a long time. Most of the reports of the Ministry of Interior are written with help from his secretaries.

Now it seems that the skills he had when he was the editor-in-chief of the newspaper have not been completely lost.

"Your Majesty!" Pesini said to Jérôme Bonaparte with a serious face, "I wrote this report by myself!"

"Not bad! Not bad!" Jerome Bonaparte praised Pesini, then signed his name on the document, then pushed it to Pesini and continued, "You can now hand over this document. Give it to the Supreme Court to choose a date for a public trial of Orsini!"

Pesini took the document and replied to Jérôme Bonaparte seriously, "Your Majesty, I will do it right away!"

After saying that, Pesini strode around and left the office.

Before Pesigny could reach the door of the office, Jérôme Bonaparte's voice reached Pesigny's ears again, "Wait a minute!"

Pesini stopped and turned around with a look of confusion.

"That's right! You first make a copy of the report, and then submit the original report to the Supreme Court!

Give the copy to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs! "Jerome Bonaparte said to Pesini.

Pesini nodded again to show his understanding.

When Pesini arrived at the Administrative Court in a carriage and handed the report to the Administrative Court (its full name is the Supreme Administrative Court, it can also be called the Supreme Court or the Administrative Court).

President Auvergne of the Administrative Court solemnly accepted the report submitted by Pesini, and then told Pesini with a charming smile that the Administrative Court will publicly hear this shocking assassination case on March 15. .

"Okay!" Minister Pesigny responded with a single word, and then said to Auvergne with a hint of official tone, "Your Majesty, I hope that the Administrative Court can hear this case in an open and fair manner!

We cannot give those who have ulterior motives towards the empire an opportunity! "

After hearing what Pesigny said, Auvergne was slightly stunned, and then cautiously asked, "Minister Pesigny, what do you mean?"

"Your Administrative Court must give prisoners the right to speak, which means that you must take the initiative to assign a lawyer to the prisoner!" Pesini decided to speak openly, "If those Republican lawyers take advantage of the loophole, be careful. I can’t eat and walk around!

You'd better choose someone with less experience as your defense attorney! "

"Understood! Understood!" Auvergne lowered his head and replied to Pesini.

"Okay! That's all I have to say! You can figure out the rest by yourself!" After Pesini said that, he walked towards the Supreme Court without looking back. He also wanted to make copies. It was not over until the document was handed over to Minister De Luys.

"Let me see you off!" Auvergne hurriedly followed Pesini, personally escorted Pesini out of the Administrative Court Building, and then watched Pesini drive away in a carriage.

Sitting in the carriage, Pesini looked at the scenery outside the window with a hint of exhaustion, and the joy of victory could not help but appear on his lips.

Nearly two months of interrogation and evidence collection are finally coming to an end. In a few days, Orsini will be sentenced to death in court at the Administrative Court.

The service is considered complete.

Just when Orsini was imagining the scene of declaring merit and rewards after the end, the carriage slowly stopped.

"Your Excellency, we are here!" The coachman outside the carriage shouted to Pesini towards the carriage.

"I know!" Pesini, who came back to his senses, quickly took the copy in his hand and opened the car door.

Pesini got off the carriage and walked straight towards the building of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. After entering the building, he quickly found the State Secretary of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.

Led by the Secretary of State, Pesini arrived at the door of De Ruys's office.

After the Secretary of State knocked gently on the door, De Ruys's voice came from the other side of the door, "Please come in!"

The Secretary of State opened the door, but instead of entering, he stood at the door and invited Pesini to enter the room.

After Pesini entered the office, the State Secretary thoughtfully closed the door.

Pesini, who was standing at the door of the office, looked at De Ruys who was flipping through documents at his desk. He did not make a sound and slowly walked towards De Ruys.

At this time, De Ruys also seemed not to realize that the person who entered the room was not his State Secretary. He continued to look through the documents with his head lowered, and then asked in an easy-going tone, "Is there something wrong? "

Pesini then opened his mouth and replied to De Luys, "Your Majesty ordered me to give you a copy of the report!"

Only then did De Ruys realize that the person opposite was not his secretary. He quickly raised his head to look at the opposite person, then stood up and said to Pesini, "Minister Pesini, I'm sorry... I just thought it was mine." The secretary is talking to me!

Let’s go talk on the couch! "

With that said, De Luys stretched out his hand to invite Pesini to the sofa.

Pesini shook his head and placed the report in front of De Luys, "No need!"

Immediately afterwards, Pesini told De Luys that this document was the entire process of the assassination, as well as the assassination story dictated by the assassin Orsini.

"Yes!" De Luys nodded and responded to Pesini, "This will be very helpful for the next diplomatic actions of our Ministry of Foreign Affairs!

On behalf of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, I would like to express my gratitude to you! "

"Nothing!" Pesini waved his hand and said to De Luluis, "I was just following His Majesty's orders!

If there's nothing else, I'll leave first! "

"Let me see you off!" De Luys said politely, and then took a few steps forward.

"No need!" Pesini shook his head and refused, then left De Luys' office alone.

As soon as Pesini left with his front foot, De Ruiz opened the report and read it.

After reading the report front and back, De Luys showed a calm and confident smile on his face.

With this report, he will be able to take action against the Kingdom of Sardinia from the commanding heights.

Subsequently, De Ruys called his secretary of state and gave him an order to invite Dela Rocca, the French master in the Kingdom of Sardinia, to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.

"Let him come here now, or agree on a time!" the Secretary of State asked De Ruys in detail.

"Now!" De Ruys responded briefly.

The Secretary of State left after accepting the order. De Luys also took advantage of the time before Della Rocca arrived at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs to adjust himself to the best possible condition for the next meeting with Della Rocca. .Roca's Conversation.

So, De Ruys took away several newspapers related to entertainment activities (such as horse racing, bridge, etc.) from the newspaper rack, and sat on the sofa to read them quietly.

Just as De Ruys was looking at it, a knock on the door once again brought De Ruys back to reality. This time, he asked loudly, "Who is it?"

"It's me! Your Excellency!" The voice of the State Secretary came from outside the room.

"Please come in!" De Luys put down the newspaper

, then stood up and faced where the door was.

A few seconds later, the door opened, and the Secretary of State and the Sardinian Ambassador to France appeared in the room.

"Good morning! Your Excellency De Luys!" Della Laura slowly walked up to De Luys and stretched out her hand, saying to him in a very respectful manner.

"Good morning! Ambassador Dela Roca!" De Luys held Dela Roca's hand and showed a fake smile.

After the two shook hands with each other, De Ruys invited Della Rocca to sit on the sofa and chat, and Della Roca sat down at De Ruys' request.

Immediately afterwards, De Ruiz put away his smile and said to Dela Roca with a serious expression, "I think your country should know that the group of people arrested by France more than two months ago attempted to assassinate His Majesty the Emperor. radicals!"

After Della Rocca thought for a moment, he nodded and said to De Ruiz, "Of course I know that these hateful guys are doing whatever they want under the banner of unifying the Apennine Peninsula.

Finally, they dared to openly assassinate His Majesty the Emperor on the head!

This is simply insane! "

Della Rocca used clever words to characterize the assassination of Orsini as an assassination planned by himself, thereby severing his already weak connection with the government of the Kingdom of Sardinia!

"Ambassador Rocca, I heard that behind Orsini is the Carbonari organization in the Kingdom of Sardinia. I wonder if you know anything about this!" De Ruys' tone began to become aggressive.

"Your Excellency Ruiz, we have only recently learned that behind Orsini is actually the Carbonari Party in the Kingdom of Sardinia!" Deca Rocca responded to De Ruiz with a wry smile. I knew that De Luys must have called him here because of this problem.

"Since the Kingdom of Sardinia already knows what the Carbonari Party is doing in the Kingdom of Sardinia, why do you still choose to cooperate with the Carbonari Party in Sardinia!!" De Luys said in a strong tone. asked Della Lola.
