Tocqueville, who got the newspaper, lowered his head and walked slowly while reading the plain-text version of the newspaper.

The headline of the newspaper read "French MPs to Emra to worship Henry V".

The content of the article describes the details and experiences of the orthodox nobles who were eager to go to Emra to meet Henry V. The witty writing style makes people feel immersed in the scene.

However, more curious than these Tocquevilles, who brought the news of the Orthodox to Emra to the newspapers, the Republicans?

In addition, from the description of the newspaper, Tocqueville can be sure that the other party must also be a member of the pilgrimage, so the result is more interesting. According to the situation that Tocqueville understands, every orthodox who goes to Emra is old. The members of Parliament are all extremely loyal to the Count of Chambord, and some of them have even become mad believers. There are still traitors among these orthodox "mad believers", who claim to be "moral, orderly, Patriarchal orthodoxy is making people laugh.

[PS: During the Orleans Kingdom period, the Orthodox parliamentarians who were targeted by the Orleans faction often went to Austria to meet Henry V. Every interview will make some Louis Philippe furious, and thus replace a large number of orthodox members. So these guys are also called "mad believers" by Tocqueville]

...

While Tocqueville was gloating, the same thing was happening across the English Channel in London.

However, this time the protagonists are no longer Orthodox, but Orleans, who are also driven by different interests to London to find their titular leader, former King Louis Philip of Orleans.

At this time, Louis Philip was living in a modest mansion in a wealthy area of ​​London.

Due to the hurried departure of the February Revolution, King Louis Philippe and his queen did not carry enough money when they fled Paris, and all the money became real estate and stayed in Paris.

Coupled with the continuous increase of family members [the Count of Paris, the Duchess of Orleans, the Prince of Joan, and the Duke of Nemours fled Paris to London], it made Louis Philip's life even more difficult.

If it weren't for the help of some loyal Orleans and Lionel Rothschild, Louis Philip's family would have starved to death on the streets long ago.

At this moment, Louis Philippe, who was sitting on the sofa, was full of old age. Louis Philippe, who had lost the nourishment of his power and suffered a blow, no longer lived up to the attitude of scolding Fang Qiu when he was the king. A violent cough resounded throughout the living room.

As a guest, Odilon Barrow sat quietly opposite Louis Philippe and nodded, "Your Majesty!"

Louie Philips, who was coughing violently, forcibly suppressed his cough and said, "Cough...cough...Mr. Barrow, no, I should call you Prime Minister Barrow! This is an honor you have never received in the Orleans dynasty, so you should be right. Jerome Bonaparte is very grateful!"

"Your Majesty..." Barrow wanted to explain to Louis Philip.

Louis Philippe forcibly interrupted Odilon Barrow's "casting" and laughed at himself: "Mr. Prime Minister Barrow! The era of the Kingdom of Orleans has been lonely, and now it's yours! Tell me, what do you have to do with me? ?"

"Your Majesty, I want you to help me integrate the Orleans faction!" Odilon Barrow, like Louis Philippe, proposed an almost impossible task.

"Integrate the Orleans? God! When I was king, I couldn't fully integrate the Orleans! Neither you nor Thiers were the ones who opposed me in the first place! Now my kingdom has collapsed, Instead, you asked me to help you integrate the Orleans faction?" Louis Philippe questioned Odilon Barrow.

"Your Majesty, it is because your kingdom has collapsed! You have the ability to integrate!" Odion Barro immediately responded to Louis Philip.

"What's the point of this? The throne I gave up made it easier to integrate the Orleans faction?" Louis Philippe asked again.

"Because when you became king, the Orleanists became the party with the majority of the parliament and the cabinet, so a split was inevitable. The interests of the factions are also not the same! When your kingdom collapses, we once again Forming the Orleans, we can only reduce divisions as much as possible!" Odilon Barrot explained to Louis-Philippe.

To put it in simpler words: "You can suffer, but you can't share blessings."

When the Orleans Kingdom was still in existence, the dominant Orleanists could be separated into the left and right wing of the dynasty, moderates and radicals, and even further deepened on this basis, and a huge political party was divided into small pieces. Interest groups, until the collapse of the Orleans Dynasty, they who lived in the Orleans Dynasty found that the collapse of the Orleans Kingdom would not do them any good, and they joined forces to choose to save themselves.

Under the general trend of history, even such a huge organization as the Orleans faction had to choose to follow the trend of history.

"Prime Minister Barrow! I can help you!" Louis Philippe said to Odilon Barrow in a calm tone.

"Thank you!" Odilon Barrow responded.

"However, I need until you can bring me something!" The mediocre Louis Philippe asked bluntly: "Don't tell me about the promise of restoring the dynasty again, I'm already 75 years old! Life~www.novelhall.com~ The throne is just like a mirror for me."

Odilon Barrow, who wanted to promise that Louis-Philippe would help him ascend to the throne, was silent for a moment, then he said carefully: "Your Majesty! If I am fortunate enough to be recognized by all the Orleans colleagues, I will do my best. Help the Duchess to obtain a certain amount of compensation for the widow's war. Make up for the undisbursed retirement funds for the Prince of Ruan and the Duke of Nemours."

Odilon Barrow means that Louis-Philippe supports him, and then he sends money to Louis-Philippe, who is struggling, through the cabinet and parliament.

"However, this amount may be quite different from the amount you received during your tenure as king!" Odilon Barrow reminded Louis Philip again.

"I know!" Of course Louis Philippe knew that it was basically impossible to get an annual salary of 16 million francs again. He raised three fingers and said, "How about 300,000 francs a year?"

Louis Philippe's answer made Odilon Barrow heave a sigh of relief. He nodded and replied, "Of course!"
