Make France Great Again

Chapter 986 No way to give gifts

Cavour felt helpless because of De Ruys's insistence on the liberals and nationalists in Italy.

When the two sides could not reach an agreement, De Luys politely asked Cavour to leave.

Cavour sighed softly, and then said goodbye to De Luys.

After leaving the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Cavour turned around and took the carriage back to the Sardinian Embassy in France. After seeing Prime Minister Cavour return disappointed, Ambassador Della Rocca immediately realized that the Prime Minister was the same as Ruiz. The negotiations were unsuccessful.

Della Rocca hurriedly made suggestions to Cavour, "Your Excellency, Prime Minister, I think you should now find someone who can speak with weight in front of the emperor, and through him/her, you can express your opinion to Emperor Jerome Bonaparte. Your Majesty, please forgive me!

As long as His Majesty Jérôme Bonaparte is willing to take things lightly on this issue, then the Ministry of Foreign Affairs will have no reason to pursue us. "

"I know!"

Cavour responded lightly to Della Roca, then returned to the room alone and took out the suitcase he placed under the bed.

Cavour opened the suitcase, put the already wrapped gift box in his pocket, then closed the suitcase towards you and quickly ran downstairs.

"I'm going out!" Cavour said to Della Rocca again as he returned to the living room on the first floor from upstairs and left without looking back.

After leaving the Sardinian Embassy in France, Cavour set off again in a carriage. This time his destination was Princess Mathilde's mansion.

There are only a few people in Paris who have the ability to help themselves, and Princess Mathilde is one of them.

The carriage sped along and soon arrived near Princess Mathilde. When the carriage approached the gate of Mathilde's mansion, a guard stopped the carriage. He came to the carriage driver and asked the driver if he had entered the mansion. invitation letter.

After hearing this, the driver shook his head and said that he was just sending the guests behind him.

The guard came to the carriage where Cavour was again, opened the door of the carriage and asked Prime Minister Cavour, "Please show me your invitation letter!"

"I don't have an invitation letter!" Cavour shook his head in response to the doorman, and then continued, "However, could you please report to Princess Mathilde on my behalf and tell Camilo Cavour, Prime Minister of the Kingdom of Sardinia, Ful is visiting!"

When the guard heard that the fat man in front of him was the Prime Minister of a country, he immediately stood in awe and said, "Please wait a moment!"

After saying that, the guard turned and followed the path to the gate of the mansion.

After entering the mansion, the doorman quickly informed the housekeeper in the mansion of the arrival of Prime Minister Cavour, and then the housekeeper carefully opened the door and entered the room where Princess Mathilde was.

At this moment, Princess Mathilde was exchanging literature with a group of French literati, critics, and poets. The appearance of the butler stunned everyone present.

As the hostess of the mansion, after seeing the butler break in, Mathilde smiled and said to everyone present, "Please allow me to excuse you!"

Immediately afterwards, Mathilde temporarily left the salon, came to the room with the housekeeper, and asked with a straight face, "What's going on?"

"His Royal Highness said that the Prime Minister of Sardinia, Garfoe, is standing outside the mansion, requesting to meet with you!" the butler responded to Princess Mathilde in a clear and coherent manner.

"Cavour?" Princess Mathilde frowned slightly, and then muttered quietly, "Why did he come to Paris so quickly!"

"Your Highness, should we let him in?" Seeing that Princess Mathilde was unhappy, the housekeeper asked cautiously.

Mathilde stood there thinking. Although she wanted to help Cavour, her old friend, the emperor and the queen had already made a clear decision on this issue, and even Mathilde was disobedient.

So, Princess Mathilde shook her head and responded to the housekeeper, "Forget it! His purpose here must be to let me help him, it's better if I don't see him!"

Wait a moment, go and tell him in person that the problem of the Kingdom of Sardinia is not something that can be solved by me asking for mercy.

, let him give up this idea!

Also, if he gives you a gift, you should refuse his gift on my behalf! "

"Yes! Your Highness!" the butler replied to Princess Mathilde.

Immediately afterwards, the housekeeper arrived at the gate of the mansion in person and recited everything Princess Mathilde said to Cavour.

After hearing that Princess Mathilde was unwilling to get involved in such things, Cavour couldn't help showing a frustrated expression on his face.

Unexpectedly, even the emperor's sister would have worries sometimes.

"I know!" Cavour smiled reluctantly, and after a few seconds, he cheered up again, and then took out a beautiful small box and gave it to the butler, "Please give this gift to Mathil for me. Her Royal Highness Princess De!"

Seeing this, the butler shook his head and responded to Cavour, "Mr. Cavour, we won't accept the gift. You'd better take it back!"

Cavour's mood fell even further to the bottom. If Princess Mathilde did not accept the gift, it would be equivalent to a slight possibility of change.

"Then I'll take my leave first!" Cavour could only respond dryly to the butler.

"Then I won't send it to you!" The butler responded directly to Cavour without any hint of politeness.

After thinking briefly for a moment, Cavour, who was far away from Mathilde's mansion, waved for a carriage again.

This time, Cavour is heading to the Ministry of Interior.

Arriving in Cavour near the Ministry of Interior, he stepped straight into the Ministry of Interior building and found the Minister of the Interior, Pesini, led by the State Secretary of the Ministry of the Interior.

"Minister Pesini!" Prime Minister Cavour said to Pesini in a slightly condescending tone.

"Sir Cavour, what do you want from me?"

Although Pesini knew the purpose of Cavour's coming here, he still had to pretend to be ignorant and replied to Pesini.

"Mr. Pesini, I would like to ask you to save Sardinia!" Cavour said while placing the gift in his arms in front of Pesini.

Pesini looked at the beautifully wrapped gift box with a greedy look in his eyes.

Judging from the appearance of the gift box alone, the contents inside the gift box must be good.

However, Pesini knew that some gifts were okay to pick up, but some things were hot to pick up.

Cavour's gifts are exactly the kind of items that are hot now.

When it comes to hot gifts, Pesini always refuses them.

So, Pesini said to Cavour with an upright face, "Mr. Cavour, what do you mean?

Are you going to use money as a bribe? "

A flash of surprise flashed across Garford's face, and he quickly pushed the gift in front of Pesini and then explained, "Minister Pesini, this is not a valuable item, so it does not count as a bribe!

It can only be regarded as a testimony of the friendship between the two of us! "

"Mr. Cavour, I am very touched that you came to meet me the day after arriving in Paris!

No need for gifts or anything like that! True friendship doesn’t need gifts at all to maintain it! "Pessini pushed the gift back again and said righteously.

"In that case, I will take it back!" Prime Minister Cavour had no choice but to take the gift back again.

Cavour then asked Pesini for information about the regicide Orsini.

Pesini told Cavour all the "information" (either true or false), and then blamed Cavour: "You, the Kingdom of Sardinia, are really... are you really colluding with those guys?"

"No! No!" Prime Minister Cavour denied flatly, "Orsini's ideas are completely different from ours, how could I support them!"

"Since you did not support them, you should agree to the conditions as soon as possible. His Majesty proposed this condition for your own good!!" Pesini responded to Cavour.

A wry smile appeared on Cavour's lips. He knew that he was

There is no way here in Pesini either.

Cavour once again found an excuse to leave the Ministry of Interior and go to the next location...

After visiting several imperial ministers and celebrities, the answer Cavour received was without exception that there was nothing he could do.

It can be seen that no one is willing to disobey the emperor on this issue.

Cavour's mood became more and more disappointing as more and more celebrities were displayed.

After visiting the fifth imperial minister, Cavour gave up the visit and walked back to the embassy alone.

"Your Excellency, Prime Minister, you are back!" Ambassador Della Roca, who heard the noise outside the residence, quickly opened the door after hearing the knock on the door, and then said to Prime Minister Cavour.

"Yes!" Cavour smiled at Ambassador Dela Roca, but this time his smile was more forced than the last time.

Ambassador Della Roca can basically confirm that Prime Minister Cavour has a network of connections in France and is also powerless to do anything about this matter.

"No one is willing to accept my gift!" Prime Minister Cavour was slightly depressed. "Now that they see the gift, it's like seeing the god of plague."

"Your Excellency, Prime Minister, this is a common thing!" Ambassador Della Roca shrugged his shoulders and said, "Your Excellency, Prime Minister, I can now confirm that the order from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs probably came from the will of your two majesties!

In other words, as long as your majesties are unwilling to change their minds, it will be useless for you, Prime Minister, to call anyone! "

"Do you know the specific positions of your two majesties?" Cavour then asked Ambassador Dela Roca.

"Your Excellency, Prime Minister, the newspapers in the Paris region will tell us the positions of His Majesty and the Queen!" Ambassador Dela Rocca responded to Cavour.

After listening to this, Cavour strode to the desk in the living room and held today's newspaper in his hand.

The front page of "Le Bonaparte" tells the current location of the two His Majesties. They are in the Loire Valley in central France, inspecting French agriculture!

"I have to go there!"
