King's Landing in France

On December 12, there was heavy snow.

All the senior generals of the French army assembled in the large study of the Royal Palace.

Christina, who was already pregnant, was also standing with Fanny in a corner outside the circle of the generals.

An Ning was pacing back and forth in front of the big stove.

The flames in the stove were burning vigorously, very much like the mood of the generals.

Napoleon: "Don't wait, it's impossible to get a result anyway. Have you ever seen a constitution with only 12 articles?"

An Ning: "There are only ten of the Ten Commandments."

Napoleon pouted, obviously dissatisfied with the reply.

At this time, Christina spoke: "He just couldn't make up his mind to change the republic he established. He didn't want to destroy the republic system."

An Ning didn't deny it, and continued to pace back and forth in front of the stove.

Napoleon: "We can only catch Barras without destroying the Republic, but we must act, and we can't just watch them press on every step of the way!"

An Ning: "Arrested on what charge? Treason? Barras is very careful, and we have not caught him so far. He has acted within the framework of the law this time. To arrest him, he can only fabricate charges."

"So what?" Davout asked. "The people believe you. If you say he is guilty, he is guilty."

An Ning did not refute.

In the past, he would probably have said, "That's why I have to be more cautious," but this time he was silent.

Lana asked worriedly: "You don't want to back down, do you? Even if it's for the French people, you can't back down. You know who the Barras gang is! They will shave the people's stomachs to the back. "

An Ning was still pacing.

The officers turned their heads to look at Bernadotte in unison.

Bernadotte pointed to himself and asked with his mouth: "Me?"

Napoleon continued to gesture to Bernadotte.

So Bernadotte sighed: "If you mind my reaction, I want to say that I support action."

An Ning stopped and looked at Bernadotte: "Even if this destroys the principles of the republic?"

"The current principle is not complete. If we do not act, speculators will formulate principles that are beneficial to themselves. We must avoid this from happening. The lesser of two evils."

An Ning: "What about Mo Luo?"

Moreau: "I believe in your belief in the republic, so I agree to act."

An Ning spoke like this, and the door opened.

The orderly let in Fouché and Talleyrand.

As soon as Talleyrand came in, he lowered his head and patted the snow on his body: "Wow, this snow is really big. I have lived in Paris for so long, and I have never seen such a big snow."

Fouché: "Yeah, with the weather tonight, it looks like something big is going to happen."

The two of them looked at An Ning together.

Napoleon: "How did you get in here?"

An Ning: "I told the guards, let them in when they come. Is it just you two?"

"Actually, the cabinet all came, but they were held back by the citizens in the parade." Foucher paused, "Talleyrand and I also escaped with police guards."

An Ning: "The citizens are marching?"

"Yes, there are royalists who want you to be the king of France; there are also those who support Barras and the others, mainly farmers and small landowners who come from other places, and land pickers." After all, Fouché was the minister of police. These are all precious, "Everyone knows that there will be a result today."

Talleyrand: "There will be results? Will it? It will be difficult to procrastinate, sir."

The room was quiet, only the sound of wind and snow outside the window blowing the window frame.

Suddenly, Napoleon shouted: "Do it, Kaka!"

An Ning stopped and looked at his wife who was holding her belly.

Then he turned around and ordered to the generals: "Martial law throughout the city, dissolve the parliament, and arrest all those who frequent Malmaison Castle, regardless of gender. Take action!"
