King's Landing in France

Chapter 332
An Ning: "When I met Christina, she was not the king's sister. In fact, no one thought she would become the king's sister at that time. Our union is the crystallization of pure love, without political considerations."

Robespierre was completely unmoved, and just looked at An Ning in silence.

At this moment, from looking at Robespierre, An Ning realized one thing, that he might lose his influence on Robespierre forever.

The Incorruptible is so stubborn that once he loses his influence, it is absolutely impossible to gain it again.

Time to start Plan B.

Danton and Robespierre should at least save Danton.

It is better to have Danton at the head of the council than Paul Ballas.

So An Ning gave up all plans of persuasion, and he stood up straight away: "It seems that this meal is unpalatable, please apologize to Mrs. Claire for me."

The moment he said these words, An Ning felt sad from the bottom of his heart, and he thought of the night he first met Robespierre at the Jacobin Club many years ago.

Guided by the sudden surge of thoughts, An Ning stopped and turned to look at Robespierre: "Do you still remember that night half a year ago, at the Jacobin Monastery?"

Robespierre shook his head: "I don't remember anymore, there shouldn't be anything worth mentioning?"

An Ning gritted her teeth: "Goodbye."

Then he strutted out of Robespierre's study without any regrets.

Downstairs he saw Murat talking to Mrs. Claire.

Murat was surprised: "What's the matter? What happened? Is it because I held up Mrs. Claire and the food was slow?"

An Ning carefully looked at Mrs. Claire, and found that the widow was obviously attracted to Murat. So, was the relationship between Robespierre and Mrs. Claire just wishful thinking?

An Ning: "There were some small disputes, nothing major. I think Maximilian and I need some time to calm down."

Mrs. Claire immediately covered her mouth: "You are best friends."

An Ning just smiled, then grabbed Murat and left.

After leaving the room, An Ning immediately lowered his voice and said to Murat: "You immediately inform Lazar Kano and all the officers... I mean, none of the officers you met at our internal meeting before Don't shout on the road during the meeting.

"In addition, Danton, Barras and Talleyrand will be invited again to the Royal Palace."

Murat instinctively realized that something was wrong, immediately put away the smile on her face, and responded seriously: "I'll go right away."

After speaking, he turned around and walked a few steps, looking back at An Ning: "Is it okay for you to go back by yourself?"

"No problem, no one in Paris can kill me yet."

Murat then turned and left.

An Ning also got into the carriage and said to the coachman, "Go back to the Royal Palace."

**
Mrs. Claire came to the study immediately after Anning left, and found Robespierre sitting slumped on a chair, like a burnt candle.

"Um, Mr. Robespierre?"

Robespierre turned his head and stared at Mrs. Claire for a few seconds before reviving as if a mummy woke up from a deep sleep: "It's Mrs. Claire. It's a pity that the dinner you prepared was wasted."

"It's all right. Shall I serve you food now?"

"Okay, let's serve. Also, send someone to deliver the letter for me, and let Saint-Just come to me immediately."

Mrs. Claire nodded, turned and left.

**
On An Ning's side, when it was almost eleven o'clock in the evening, the Royal Palace was brightly lit, and countless carriages were parked in the Royal Palace garden.

There were so many people mainly because Ballas and Danton were having a dance party at home. As a result, when Murat came to call someone, many sensitive gentlemen realized that something serious happened, so they immediately followed Danton and Ballas.

As a result, at night, half of the members of the National Assembly gathered at the Royal Palace.

An Ning was very unhappy that so many people had come, and yelled directly, trying to drive them away.

However, Christina stopped the angry An Ning, and then brought the gentlemen who did not get the invitation to the ballroom of the Royal Palace, and then arranged for the maids to serve supper.

The invited officers and gentlemen gathered in Anning's study.

An Ning said: "Do you know that Robespierre called me to eat?"

Napoleon: "We know, what's wrong?"

"In his study, he told me about his next plan." Anning paused, and then said that Robespierre planned to establish an organization that could deal with "enemies" directly without trial.

Dandong immediately complained: "Is this true? You can't let him do this! If he establishes this organization, I'm dead!"

Talleyrand curled his lips: "This is quite like the plan that the Incorruptible One would propose. He has indulged in the illusion of omnipotence given to him by the National Salvation Committee."

Napoleon: "Let's arrest him!"

La Salle immediately agreed: "Yes! Grab it!"

An Ning: "Of course it is easiest to arrest them directly, but this will trample on the order of the Republic."

As he spoke, he glanced at Bernadotte and the republicans.

On Bernadotte's face, he really saw a relieved expression.

Sure enough, the officers who directly arrested the Republican faction would have objections.

An Ning is determined to ensure the unity of the officer corps.

Ballas spoke at this time: "You want to impeach Robespierre through parliament? But Mr. Danton is the only member of the people in this room now. Shouldn't you talk to the people in the ballroom now?" Ventilate?"

Danton shook his head: "No need, just leave this matter to me, I was already discussing the impeachment of Robespierre with the gentlemen.

"Now with Andy's support, we can let go! Andy, as long as you attend the meeting tomorrow as an observer, and then sit on the side of the stand where we are, everyone will know it!"

An Ning shook her head: "No, I will personally enter the parliament to appeal to the entire parliament."

Both Talleyrand and Ballas couldn't help laughing: "Great! In this way, tomorrow will be the end of Robespierre, and the policy of terror that makes everyone feel insecure can finally be stopped!"

**
Robespierre here.

As soon as Saint-Just entered the study, he saw Robespierre standing in front of the window, looking at the boundless darkness outside the window.

Robespierre: "Louis (Saint-Just's name), I am standing in the dark right now, and there is boundless, huge darkness in front of me.

"Louis, our worst fears have happened. Our esteemed Andy Frost has become the enemy of France."

Saint-Just hesitated to speak.

Robespierre turned around and looked at St. Just: "I should be impeached tomorrow. Once Frost decides to act, he will be very straightforward. And with his current reputation, we have no way to resist.

"No matter how eloquent our speeches, however loud our arms, Frost can bring us to his knees with his colossal popularity and the bayonet of an army.

"The formal methods are no longer working, Louie, do you understand?"

St. Just's lips turned white: "Are you going to..."

"Frost's subordinates are just a group of speculators gathered for profit. Once he falls, the speculators will disperse!"

Saint-Just took a deep breath: "He has won countless duels."

"This is not a duel!" Robespierre reached out and grabbed Saint-Just's shoulder, "I know it's despicable and disgraceful at all, but in order not to let him turn France into his back garden, in order to save the Republic , must be like this!"

Saint Just swallowed a mouthful of saliva: "I see..."

"The assassination will be carried out by me. After that, I will definitely be executed. After that, France will be led by you. Carry out the revolution to the end!"

Saint-Just looked at Robespierre in surprise: "What? I thought you called me..."

"This is something I have decided, so it will be carried out by me! I called you to entrust the revolution to you.

"Your responsibility is heavy. This France is full of enemies, speculators and conspirators, who are constantly thinking about how to take France for themselves.

"Louis, I can't be with you anymore, you have to be brave, brave, brave! May freedom, equality and fraternity be with you."

After a short hesitation, Saint-Just said: "No, Maximilian, you are not good at this. I have joined the army and fought with others, and I am much better than you. It should be done by reason. I will execute it."

Robespierre shook his head: "No! No! It was I who decided to kill my best friend. After all, we used to be partners for the same ideal, so after he turned bad, I should naturally send him on the road!"

Saint-Just interrupted Robespierre: "Be realistic! Consider the success rate! If you can't succeed, what's the use of talking about it?"

Robespierre waved hysterically: "I will succeed, just use a dagger to stab him in the heart when he is not paying attention, he never thought that I would do this!"

Saint-Just: "Then do you know where to stab it to be fatal?"

Robespierre was stunned: "Isn't it over after stabbing the heart?"

"The heart is protected by the ribs. A layman like you who doesn't understand at all may get the dagger stuck on the ribs! Let me do it!"

Robespierre looked at Saint-Just, opened and closed his mouth, but did not speak.

Finally, he slid on the chair like a deflated ball: "You're right, it's not something I'm good at. I'll leave it to you."

St. Just looked like a knight about to attack, holding his head high: "Leave it to me. How glorious it is to die for the revolution."

**
On the second day, the news leaked out from unknown sources, and the outside of the parliament was full of ordinary people who wanted to watch the excitement.

When An Ning appeared on horseback with a large number of officers, the crowd cheered.

Someone asked loudly: "Your Excellency! Are you going to tear down the guillotine in Revolution Square tomorrow?"

An Ning smiled, and Napoleon beside him responded loudly: "I'm afraid it won't be demolished for the time being, but it should be idle."

Someone asked again: "Is it reserved for the incorruptible?"

An Ning immediately replied seriously: "No! He won't die!"

Anning didn't intend to kill Robespierre, but just wanted to impeach him and send him to codify the law.

After all, he has been friends for so many years, and he can't bear to kill him.

And he still has to wrestle with history, and not killing Robespierre is also part of the wrestling.

While speaking, he arrived at the gate of the parliament, so he got off his horse.

Members of the parliament came very early today, and they were all waiting in front of the gate of the parliament.

An Ning raised her hand: "Okay, everyone, let's go in. It's almost time, let's start today's meeting."

Even though An Ning was only a soldier and theoretically did not have the right to issue orders to the congressmen, the congressmen still obeyed his orders and filed in under the leadership of Dandong.

An Ning followed the congressmen into the parliament hall, and then saw Robespierre standing in the speaker's position, looking down at An Ning.

The two looked at each other.

There was a trace of chill in Robespierre's eyes.

An Ning keenly sensed Robespierre's killing intent.

Before he had time to think about it, Saint-Just appeared in front of him with a stack of documents in his hand.

"For France!" Saint-Just yelled, throwing the document and showing the dagger, stabbing An Ning!

Then An Ning's passive was activated.

His body turned sideways with amazing agility, and the dagger just slid across his chest.Napoleon was the first to react, and he exclaimed loudly: "Fuck, Brutus!"
