"My dear, what is that protrusion in front of Napoleon's bed? It looks like a step and a stepping stone?"
Betty asked, pointing to a stepped protrusion in front of Napoleon's bed, quite curious.
At this time, Ye Tian and the others had come to Napoleon's bedroom and were admiring the furnishings and decorations in this bedroom, as well as some oil paintings hanging on the wall.
Ye Tian looked at the stepped protrusion in front of Napoleon's bed, then smiled and nodded and said:
"You guessed it right, my dear, that's a stepping stone, but it's just wrapped in a dark blue velvet and made some decorations!
Everyone knows that Napoleon's height is average, and it can even be said to be very short. To make it easier for him to go to bed, a stepping stone was placed in front of the bed! "
"Hahaha"
There was a chuckle at the scene, and Betty and the others laughed.
The many French guys who were also on the scene rolled their eyes unhappily, but they had no choice but to take Ye Tian in no way, just as they could not change Napoleon's height!
After leaving Napoleon's bedroom, Ye Tian and the others walked into Napoleon's office again and began to visit the room where Napoleon handled military affairs and signed the abdication agreement!
This room still remains the same as when Napoleon signed the abdication agreement in 1814. Nothing has changed. The small table used to sign the abdication agreement is still in place!
On the wall of the office, there are several oil paintings. The most striking one is the "Portrait of Napoleon in the Office" painted by Napoleon's royal painter, Jacques Louis David in 1812.
It was in this room that after Napoleon received the letter from the Senate to dethrone the emperor, after several hours of painful struggle with the persuasion of the marshals, he finally made an extremely difficult decision to abdicate!
The moment he signed the abdication agreement on the small table in the middle of the room, the French First Empire that he had struggled for half his life and built with his own hands also collapsed!
Next, he was on the path of exile and was banished to Elba Island!
The following Hundred Days Dynasty was just a flash in the pan. The defeat of the Battle of Waterloo officially announced the end of the Napoleonic Wars and also ended Napoleon's political life!
After leaving the emperor’s palace, Ye Tian and the others went to the side hall of the Palace of Fontainebleau to visit the Napoleon I Museum located there.
In the Museum of Napoleon I, everyone learned in detail about Napoleon's splendid and splendid life, although everyone is familiar with it!
Compared with the Napoleon-related antiques displayed in this museum, such as the military uniforms worn by Napoleon, the marching tent, the saber, etc., Ye Tian is more interested in the artworks displayed here!
You can see the works of almost all famous French painters in the early nineteenth century. Except for some landscape paintings and religious paintings, the rest are basically paintings praising Napoleon's great achievements!
In this regard, there is no difference between ancient and modern emperors at home and abroad, and Napoleon is no exception!
Of course, there are also some paintings praising Queen Josephine and reflecting the life of Napoleon's family!
After visiting the Napoleon I Museum, walk along the west side of the promenade to the bottom, which is the Queen Eugénie’s living room and the Chinese Salon, which is also the Chinese Pavilion of the Palace of Fontainebleau.
However, Ye Tian and the others did not enter the China Pavilion from here, but left the west promenade and went to the outside courtyard, preparing to enter the China Pavilion from the main entrance!
The exhibits displayed in the China Pavilion are all antique works of art looted from the Old Summer Palace. The French may be a little embarrassed. Therefore, the China Pavilion is closed all year round, and there are only a few open hours!
When Ye Tian and the others arrived in front of the China Pavilion, there were no other tourists here, only Benova and his party who had arrived in advance, and they were relatively quiet.
In other words, the China Pavilion is open to Ye Tian and the others today, and only these visitors!
"Steven, have you thought about it, are you ready to choose those Chinese antique art? I hope you will be merciful and don't open your mouth, we can't stand your crazy looting!"
Benova said jokingly, and stepped to welcome him.
"To be honest, Benoit, the more than 3,000 Chinese antique works of art in the Chinese Pavilion of the Palace of Fontainebleau, I want to put them in my bag and bring them back to China!
But I also know that it's impossible, so I can only choose a part of them. The specific selection of antique artworks will have to wait until I have seen the collections in the China Pavilion.
Don't worry, I am an honest and trustworthy businessman, and I will never speak loudly. I will choose the Chinese antique works of art for exchange according to the quantity we agreed before!
After I have selected the Chinese antique art works to be exchanged, I will consider it comprehensively and compare it with the exchange target of the Jimei Museum, and then choose which museum to exchange! "
Ye Tian said with a smile, without giving a clear answer.
You guy can't speak loudly? Lie to the ghost, I'm afraid the ghost will not believe it.
We may have heard of what you did in the Jimei Museum, and the collection of Chinese antiques in the Jimei Museum is almost wiped out by you!
If you guy finally chooses the Jigme Museum and exchanges with them, the Jigme Museum will be greatly injured. Isn't it a big talk? What does that count?
Benoit and a group of French guys secretly made complaints, and didn't believe Ye Tian's words at all.
At the same time, each of them is full of expectation and a little worried.
Compared with the looted and embarrassed Chinese antique artworks in the Chinese pavilion, they hoped to get Queen Mary's top jewelry.
If you get the top jewellery of Queen Mary, it will definitely attract more attention and more tourists!
More importantly, Queen Mary's top jewellery is not only of great historical significance and extraordinary value, but also can be displayed in a magnificent manner, without worrying about being unsightly!
After chatting for a few words, under the leadership of Benova, everyone walked towards the entrance of the China Pavilion.
Within a few steps, they came to the gate of the China Pavilion, ready to climb up the stairs and enter this museum full of exquisite Chinese antiques.
At this moment, Anderson suddenly asked curiously:
"Steven, what's the matter with the two mighty stone lions at the door? Are they also plundered by French soldiers from the Old Summer Palace in the 1860s?
Such huge stone lions, each weighing several tons, in the mid-nineteenth century, it was almost impossible to transport them all the way to France."
As he said, Anderson pointed his finger at the two stone lions standing at the entrance of the China Pavilion.
Hearing these words, the old faces of Benoit and other French guys couldn't help but blush, somewhat embarrassed!
Ye Tian glanced at the two stone lions, smiled and shook his head and said:
"This pair of stone lions did not come from the Old Summer Palace in China. They were later carved in France~www.novelhall.com~ to highlight the characteristics of the China Pavilion. From the carving techniques, we can see that the Chinese stone lions are not like this!
To put it bluntly, this is called painting a tiger not an anti-dog! In traditional Chinese culture, stone lions are common items for warding off evil spirits. They pay more attention to the mighty momentum and demeanor instead of appearance!
This is mainly because most people in ancient China have never seen real lions on the African grasslands. The pair of stone lions in front of them is different. Obviously, they are modeled on real lions! "
As soon as the voice fell, Benova continued:
"Steven is right. This pair of stone lions was indeed carved in France. It is very different from the stone lions of ancient China. It is just similar in shape!
Let's not discuss this pair of stone lions. Let's visit the China Pavilion. There are many exquisite Chinese antique artworks in the museum, which are worthy of appreciation! "
Having said that, Benova made a please gesture, and then stepped out and walked up the steps ahead.
Ye Tian followed and walked into the China Pavilion of the Fontainebleau Palace together!
Please report us if you find any errors so we can fix it asap!
