Located in northern Italy, the Duchy of Parma, which was attached to the Austrian Empire, was the domain of Napoleon II's mother, Marie Louise, and it had already become a gathering place for the Great Bonapartists.

Napoleon's old mother Maria Letizia Ramolino, Napoleon's younger brother Lucien Bonaparte, Jerome Bonaparte, Louis Bonaparte, Napoleon's sister Caroline Bonaparte Bonaparte, and of course Napoleon's good nephew, Louis Napoleon Bonaparte (Napoleon III), now all smelled and gathered in the court of the Principality of Parma, gathered in Bonaparte who had just fled here from Vienna. The head of the Napoleon family, the son of Emperor Napoleon, and the Roman King Napoleon II.

It is now January 1832, and it has only been more than ten years since the complete collapse of the Napoleonic Empire. Not only these old Bonaparte family members are still there, but there are also a large number of Bonaparte family members in France and other European countries that were once deeply influenced by Napoleon. Palestine elements exist, some of them are still occupying high positions, and some are eagerly looking forward to the return of the Napoleonic Empire to Europe!

The turmoil that has taken place in the French capital Paris in the past few days also shows that the Bonapartists and the Republicans still have huge power in France today. Like Emperor Napoleon of Ba Island, he quickly seized the French power and revived the French Empire!
However, Napoleon II, who fled from Schönbrunn Palace in Vienna to Parma, seemed to have little interest in regaining his status. For several days, he was noncommittal to the members of the Napoleon family who came to persuade him to come in.

Now the old and young of the Bonaparte family are a little anxious-what does Napoleon II mean?Don't want to be emperor?Just want to eat and die in the Principality of Parma?This is not acceptable!Now the Duke of Marseilles of the Bourbon dynasty has assembled his Foreign Legion and will soon return to France.And Louis XVII, who held a wedding ceremony for his daughter in Riga, also borrowed Raksha soldiers from his father-in-law Nicholas I, and he will return to China soon.Also, Zhuge Weijiu, the king of Ming Dynasty, also frequently met with bigwigs from the Rothschild family, the Schiff family, and the Warburg family in Vienna, preparing to raise funds for the counter-rebellion of Louis XVII and the Duke of Marseilles.

In addition, the Duke of Wellington of the United Kingdom and Emperor Franz of Austria have issued statements opposing the restoration of the Napoleonic Empire!

If Louis XVII and the Duke of Marseilles return to Paris, those who oppose them may disperse immediately!
So, the key now seems to be who will return to Paris first?Is it Napoleon II. Or Louis XVII?

Just when a group of old Bonapartists were in a hurry, and Napoleon II, the little ancestor, had nothing to do, Langletta, the foreign minister of the Kingdom of France, arrived in Parma secretly, and then limped into the residence of the Duke of Parma.

Napoleon II did not sit there waiting for him to see him, but personally greeted Talleyrand, who had "betrayed" himself in the garden of the mansion. When Napoleon abdicated for the first time, he wanted Napoleon II to succeed him. position, and Tsar Alexander I also had this intention, but Langletta put forward the principle of "orthodoxy".

Talleyrand recognized Napoleon II at a glance, because "Napoleon II" was wearing the gray military uniform that Emperor Napoleon used to wear back then, and he also wore a three-cornered hat, quite "Napoleon".He hurriedly bent down to salute, but was supported by Napoleon II: "Mr. Talleyrand, why do you bow to me?"

"You are the King of Rome!" Talleyrand said in front of a group of old Bonapartists. "The people of France need you. Please come back to Paris with me, or it will be too late."

Napoleon II nodded and asked: "Mr. Talleyrand, I am only 22 years old, what can I do for France?"

Talleyrand looked at the son of Emperor Napoleon and said: "King of Rome, your father was only 23 years old when he defeated the royalists and the British army in Toulon."

"But I'm not my father," Napoleon II shook his head, and then looked around at a group of old Bonapartists wearing old military uniforms from the Napoleonic era, "I don't know how to lead the French army to repel a powerful enemy. I've been thinking about this question for the past two or three years, but I haven't found the answer. I don't know how to be a great soldier, and I don't know how to be Emperor of France. At the court of Austria, I There was nothing to learn about it. I couldn’t even find a single book in the library about my father, the Emperor Napoleon’s exploits.”

Napoleon II smiled bitterly: "So... I won't be emperor!"

what?
Won't be emperor?
What can I do?
A group of old Bonapartists are in a hurry.

Talleyrand, on the other hand, was a little bewildered.He actually represented the Bonapartists "lurking" in the Bourbon dynasty to welcome Napoleon II back to France in purple robes, although he was not in favor of letting the 22-year-old son of Napoleon take the throne.

But the Bourbon dynasty is obviously unable to settle the internal contradictions in France!
In the past ten years or so, the Republican Party, the Bonapartists, and the Royalist Party have been fighting against each other in France, and the weakest one is actually the Royalist Party!However, because the Royalist Party received the support of external forces, coupled with the long-term feud between the Bonapartists and the Republicans, and the lack of a leader, Louis XVII was able to secure his position.

But this time the republicans and Bonapartists took advantage of the opportunity of Napoleon II's escape to make trouble together. The Bourbon dynasty was not reconciled to losing power, and was already mobilizing troops to suppress it.

If this matter is not handled well, it might be a civil war!
So after discussing with Soult, Talleyrand decided to invite Napoleon II to return to China to restore the country to eliminate the risk of civil war. try it.

But this one actually said "no", what does this mean?
"Monsieur Talleyrand," asked Napoleon II, "do you know which political figure has the most books in the Schönbrunn library?"

"I don't know." Talleyrand shook his head.

Napoleon II said: "There are the most books about King Zhuge Wuzhong. Because he is the most respected politician by my grandfather Emperor Franz and Prime Minister Metternich! And I have read all the books about him!"

"I have seen it too!" Talleyrand said, "He is indeed a great statesman and military strategist."

"Much better than my father!" Napoleon II looked at Talleyrand and said with confidence, "My father's empire collapsed before he left this world. And the empire created by King Zhuge Wuzhong has always been It exists to this day and it is still the most powerful empire in the world! Although he himself did not claim the title of emperor, he possesses real power no less than that of any emperor. The family he left behind and the descendants of his followers have always been firmly established. Manipulating the politics and economy of the Ming Empire. The people of the Ming Empire have also benefited greatly from his rule, and they still benefit today.

M. Talleyrand, do you think I can now choose to be King Zhuge Wuzhong of France? "

"Become the Zhuge Wuzhong King of France?" Talleyrand was taken aback, "Do you want to be the prime minister of the Bourbon dynasty?"

"No!" Napoleon II shook his head, "The history of the Bourbon dynasty is over. Because we don't end the Bourbon dynasty, we can't confiscate the royal family and nobles' estates and distribute them to the peasants who support us. This trick Zhuge Wuzhong The king has used it, and it works great! We should follow suit, I think what the French people want is a free republic run by the Bonapartists!"

Speaking of this, Napoleon II suddenly raised his arms and shouted, "Long live the free French Republic!"

Talleyrand had already shown a bright smile on his pockmarked face, and he also shouted together: "Long live the free French Republic! Long live the Consul Napoleon II!"

The old Bonapartists around were all smart foxes, and immediately understood what Napoleon II wanted to do, so they all shouted together: "Long live the free French Republic!"
