Chapter 42: , Brittany Club

"On this issue." Amang said, "Our play itself carries a strong political significance. When I created it, I knew that performing this work itself involves political risks. "
Speaking of this, Amon paused again: "And we chose to stage it in such a period, which in itself is an approach with political implications. We have already considered the political risks. Even if it is true. What's the matter, it's nothing more than going into the Bastille to eat rats for a while."
　　 When people talk about going to jail, they usually call it ‘feed the mouse’, but Aman calls it "eat the mouse". The difference between the word is completely different. Most people talk about the Bastille, but Amon and Robespierre both know that because the Bastille is often used to imprison nobles, so in terms of conditions, I am afraid that there is no other prison in France that is better than the Bastille. It's better.
"Moreover, I think that if our king is a little smarter, we should not be in danger of feeding rats at the bottom of the Bastille." Saint Just said, "If our king decides to suppress the people, he should use it. With decisive and powerful measures, all the third-level representatives were quickly arrested and immediately sent to the guillotine. Although this may cause some confusion, the rebels have no leader and can be defeated individually."
Speaking of this, a sarcastic smile appeared on the corner of Sanjuste’s handsome mouth: "Moreover, most of these representatives are rich people-Mr. Robespierre, you are almost among these representatives. The poorest, but even you, compared to most people in Saint-Antoine, you are still a "rich man". And some people are hundreds of times richer than you. Just kill all the representatives and then Confiscating assets, and then using the money to win over more troops, as well as the nobles and poor who are willing to follow the king, then our king may be able to pass this level. Of course, by doing so, France may have a civil war. He must be prepared for a period of failure and he will go to the guillotine like Charles I. However, considering that the other party has no leader, I think his situation is much better than that of Charles I. If our king really intends to do this. Do it, then most of us will have our heads cut off, where is the turn to feed the mice at the Bastille?"
　　 Speaking of this, Sanjuste even gently stroked his slender neck, which was quite a bit of a "big head, who will kill it".
　　 "Do you think the king would do this?" Robespierre asked.
"No." A scornful smile appeared on Saint Just's face. "If the king has such a courage, he will not lose control of the Austrian lady. He will not be nothing in the'conference of nobles'. Earnings. In general, our majesty lacks the courage to be a tyrant and does not have the measure of an enlightened monarch. He is not a king to be feared at all. Therefore, I don’t think we will be in any danger. "
"Mr. Saint Just." Robespierre exclaimed, "You have a calmness and courage that is not commensurate with your age and appearance. To be honest, yesterday I saw you star in Spartacus. I’m still a little surprised, but your performance yesterday was so brilliant and perfectly persuaded me. I was also surprised how a young person like you can have such power. But today’s conversation with you makes I understand that a person’s thoughts and strength are really not measurable by age. Mr. Sanjuste, indeed, as you said, our king does not have that courage. Moreover, we are not fools. , Will do nothing and wait for him to do whatever he wants. These years because of the level of privilege and extravagance, the country has no money. The army is also useless and full of dissatisfaction. What's more, the people who make up the army are the same The people of France. The army is made up of the people, not soulless tools. If the king really wants to take risks, he can really count on only mercenaries. But there is money for mercenaries, but no money for the French army, you Say, what will the French army think? In fact, we are not completely unprepared. Many nobles and many officers have contact with us. If the king really intends to make any big moves, we can't hide it from us. So your performance Although there are certain risks, this risk is not uncontrollable. After all, I invited you, even if you do not ask for it, I have to consider your safety. So you can rest assured that although there are some risks, enter the bus The possibility of is still very small."
　　 "Don't talk about the Bastille, it's the guillotine, we are not afraid." Amon said.
　　 A few people talked about the performance again, and Amon and Sanjuste were about to leave. Robespierre sent them to the door and suddenly said: "Ah, there is one thing I almost forgot. Well, we have a club, and they are all good friends who want to reform. I think ours The concepts are relatively close, are you interested in joining them?"
　　 "What kind of club is it?" Saint Just asked.
"Club Brittany. It was originally a club for representatives of the Brittany region. After the third level meeting was held, more people joined in. They are all friends who support constitutionalism, so we are now considering the club’s Change the name to'Friends of Constitutionalism.' How about it, if you are interested, I can be your introducer." Robespierre said.
　　 "Okay." Amon said, "I have a friend who is also very good. Maybe you have also heard of him. His surname is Bonaparte. Well, Joseph Bonaparte is a scientific genius."
"I've heard of him." Robespierre nodded, "Although I don't understand what he wrote. Well, can you wait? I'll go in and write him an invitation letter, please bring give him."
　　 "I am willing to help you." Amon said.
　　 Robespierre went into the study to write a letter, while Amon and Sanjuste went into the living room by themselves, sat down on the sofa and waited.
　　 "Amon, do you think Mr. Bonaparte is willing to join this club?" Saint Just asked.
"Relax, I know Joseph and his political views. In fact, you know from him... You know, many of the ideas for the script of "Spartacus" came from him. He is definitely a progressive young man who supports constitutionalism. "Amon almost said that Joseph had written the song "Slave's War Hymn" to him. Thinking about Joseph's attitude when he gave this song to him, he vaguely felt that he had done something stupid.
"I know this too." Saint Just said, "but I always feel that Mr. Bonaparte is not willing to participate too much in politics. He seems to be more willing to focus on his knowledge. Well, I have no doubt that Mr. Bonaparte loves constitutionalism, but I think he may love science more."
　　 "Damn! I didn't expect this." Amang shook his head. But he immediately said: "This guy really has such a possibility. However, a club invitation should not take much time. If he is really busy, he can not participate."
　　 As the two people were talking, they saw Robespierre coming out of the study and handing an envelope to Amon.
　　 "I have already written the invitation letter. I am looking forward to seeing this talented scientist in the club."
　　 "Well, but Mr. Robespierre..." Amon hesitated.
　　 "What's wrong? Mr. Lavoisier?" Robespierre asked.
　　 "Joseph is busy with an important research recently. This involves a lot of his energy..." Amon said, "He may, may not be able to fully participate in club activities..." Amon said hesitantly.
Robespierre stunned, then laughed: "Ah, Mr. Lavoisier, this is not a problem. It's just a club. No club requires all members to be present at all times. After all, every Everyone has their own things, don’t they? So, this is not a problem at all."
　　 "If this is the case, then it should be fine." Amon said.
　　……
Coming out of Robespierre, Amon looked at the sky and said to St. Justin: "Louis, Joseph lives not far from here, just across the street. I will see the time. , It should be time for him to go home. I plan to go directly to him and give him this invitation letter. Would you like to go with me?"
　　 Shengjuste thought for a while, shook his head and said: "There is not much time for the next performance, I'll go back and prepare first. UU reading www.uukanshu.cóm"
　　 The two separated at the end of the street. Saint Just got on a rental carriage and went back to the theater; Amon went on foot to Joseph's residence.
　　 When Amon knocked on Joseph's door, Joseph was having dinner with his two younger brothers. Generally speaking, if a traveler from a big food country in the East accidentally crosses to the West, generally speaking, as long as they have the conditions, they will cook their own Chinese food, because most Western food is eaten in the East. From the eyes of Chinese foodies, it is really not very tasty. This is especially true for those who unfortunately travel to a country where there are only potatoes, eggs and a forty-five-degree angle looking up at the starry sky without sardines. However, what Joseph ate was still authentic Western food-bread and grilled lamb chops. This is not just because he was very lucky to have traveled to the Western Food Country. The French can eat, and they are well-known throughout the world. It is also because, in this era, the various materials needed for Chinese food are basically not available in France. Moreover, Joseph is already a person with a certain identity now, and it is a bit out of order for a person like him to act on his own. In addition, labor is cheap now, so Joseph asked a maid to help at home.
　　 In the later generations of big food country, please ask an aunt, the cost is not low. The income of housekeeping aunts must obviously exceed the median income line. But in this era of France, it really doesn't cost much to hire a maid who does housework.
　　 "It smells so good, it's grilled lamb chops? Well, Joseph, your life has improved a lot." As soon as he entered the door, Aman shrugged his nose, took a few deep breaths, and then laughed.
　　 "Fortunately, Amon, why are you here at this time? Is there anything wrong?" Joseph asked.
　　 "Ah, let me deliver a letter, an invitation letter." Amon said.
