Eagle’s Glory

Because of Leon's disturbance, especially after knowing that the secret visitor was Earl Tylerwyn, the high "interest" of Aigron and Chanel suddenly disappeared without a trace. The bright lakes and mountains can no longer restore the atmosphere just now.

After Aigron pondered for a moment, he solemnly looked at Chanel.

"Chanel, since you don't want his life now, I'll keep him... But you don't have to worry, no matter what I promise him, it's a problem between me and Prince Talleyrand, I I have no obligation to him, and I will never forgive him for his 'credit', as long as I can get what I want, his life is yours."

"Your Majesty... You don't need to explain so much to me, is it possible that I don't believe you?" Chanel asked with a smile, "It's okay, I've been waiting for so many years, I don't care if I wait a while... With you here, I will definitely Don't be afraid that justice won't be served."

justice? Can I count as 'justice'? Aegron thought.

Although he kept saying justice and glory every day, he knew in his heart that those slogans were nothing more than slogans to paint himself, and in essence, he was no more glamorous than his opponents.

But in any case, at least for the most important people in his heart, he doesn't want to make any deal with it. There are many people who have been purged and even slaughtered for supporting the empire. He actually doesn't care that much, and it is impossible to liquidate them one by one Vengeance, but Chanel's hatred is his personal hatred, no matter what Earl Tylerwyn brings to him, it can't change his mind - the Earl must die!

He embraced Chanel again, and kissed her—but this time there was no more **** between the two of them, but the frankness of complete trust, which he seemed to be using in this way. declare his resolve.

Following Aegron's instructions, after dinner, Leon brought Earl Tylerwin to the reception room in the middle of the lake villa while it was dark.

Like all seasoned diplomats, the count was reserved and a little arrogant, with a professional smile on his face, he strode into the reception room.

And Aigron and Teresa were already sitting there, as if they were kings and queens receiving foreign ministers.

For such a scene, Earl Tylerwyn did not perceive any violation of the peace-to the world, although the Duke and Duchess of Reichstedt did not have the name of monarchs, they already had the realities of monarchs, even if the small country , a monarch is also a monarch.

By the bright candlelight, Tylerwyn glanced at the teenage couple.

Duke Reichstedt is still as handsome as before, but his eyes are much sharper, and he has a little more undisguised arrogance and arrogance, while Princess Teresa has both the beauty of a young girl and the beauty of a young woman. The bulging belly had already proved that she was going to be a mother - and that Bonaparte had a successor.

He had met these two people in Austria before, and from an objective point of view, everyone thought that they were a good match, and it was a great event to get married - but Earl Taylor was not the kind of person who cared about the shortcomings of the parents, right. He said the couple's union, and the fact that they were about to have a child, were political events and could only be interpreted politically.

"Two highnesses, I am honored to see you again." The tall earl walked up to the two of them, and then saluted the young couple with skillful and elegant gestures, "I wish you all the best, and best wishes to you all. The child was born safely."

"Thank you, Count, I'm also very happy that we meet again." Aigron smiled, stood up actively, and then stepped forward and extended his hand to the other party. "You are a distinguished guest here with us. This is not an official diplomatic visit but a private visit, so I don't think you need to be too strict and polite, just get along as a friend."

Although Aigron had already promised Chanel to kill this guy, the more murderous he was in his heart, the more polite and polite he became.

The Count was a little flattered, but he quickly reacted, reaching out and holding Aigron's hand. Of course, he was so sophisticated that he couldn't really regard him as a friend, and he still maintained a respectful attitude.

"Since your departure from Vienna, Your Highness, I have been following all news about you closely, and I am delighted that you have participated in such a great cause with extraordinary courage and courage, and have generously helped a troubled nation. , and took it to a new life... Although the dynasty I represent does not allow me to publicly praise your exploits, please allow me to honor you in a personal capacity."

"You are exaggerating. The career I created depends on my loyal and fearless officers and soldiers, as well as the Greek nation who dared to fight for freedom and fight bravely. What can I do without their efforts? ? I personally only made a trivial contribution in it." Aegron replied humbly.

"Your humility is also your excellent quality beyond ordinary people." Earl Tylerwin continued to flatter Aegron, in order to shorten the distance between the two.

Then, he looked at Teresa again.

"His Royal Highness, when you first appeared on the social scene, I was secretly impressed by your style, and now you are even more beautiful! I have been to the capitals of many countries, but among the royal families, I have never seen To a princess whose beauty is comparable to yours..."

"You have passed the award, Mr. Count, you are indeed a diplomat..." Teresa couldn't help but shook her head with a smile, but she was quite happy, "I heard that you have been transferred to the ambassador to Istanbul? "

"Yes, Your Highness," replied the Count, "I have been transferred to Turkey as ambassador by our Ministry of Foreign Affairs. Although this is a normal job transfer, it is indeed a pity for me, because I have to say goodbye to Vienna's terrible Fascinated by the scenery and air, I have come to suffer in a pagan country that I have never liked... However, from another aspect, I can take advantage of the opportunity to come to visit the two Highnesses, and maybe I can do it again in the future. Come and stroll around and listen to the teachings of the two Highnesses, this is enough to make up for the regret in my heart."

Aigron and Teresa glanced at each other calmly. From the earl's words, he not only came to visit him secretly today, but also plans to continue to come after he officially serves as the ambassador to Istanbul.

This is definitely not his decision alone, there must be many things hidden behind it.

While the two of them were thinking, Earl Taylor respectfully took out a small box from his arms, knelt down on one knee, and held the box in front of Teresa.

"His Royal Highness, please allow me to offer a small gift to congratulate you on your marriage and pregnancy. Although this is only a trivial little thing, if it can add a little luster to you and set off your beauty, it can be regarded as something useful. It's worth it, please accept it..."

As he spoke, he opened the box, and then Agron and Teresa discovered that there was a brooch inside, with many gems set on the edge of the brooch, and a huge diamond in the middle, which had been finely cut. and polished polyhedrons, now gleaming in candlelight.

As long as you have a little vision, you can see that this is by no means a trivial gift, but a very valuable gift - being able to prepare such a gift naturally means that Earl Taylor's visit is well prepared. Come on, it's not an impromptu intention.

Out of female instinct, Teresa was instantly dazzled by diamonds, but with Teresa's background, what grade of jewelry has she never seen since she was a child? So after a moment of surprise, she quickly regained her composure.

Since the other party gave the gift so respectfully, Teresa could only accept it. She glanced at Chanel next to her and asked Chanel to put away the box and the brooch.

It stands to reason that she should solemnly express her gratitude to the other party, but at this time because of her pregnancy, she just owes her debts with difficulty, "Thank you, Count, you are so kind! I like this gift very much, you have a heart. ."

"As long as you like this gift, then I am satisfied," said the count, smiling.

"This can't be called a humble gift." Aigron interjected, "Count, although I know that you diplomats are quite rich, but I think that even you should prepare a gift like this. We are really sorry to have spent a lot of effort and accepted this gift from you for no reason."

"His Royal Highness, just accept it. I don't have any additional conditions. I just want to express my admiration for the two of you." The Count replied with a smile, "It was originally my teacher, Prince Talleyrand. A gift given to me, but I can't wear it, it's just a meaningless item to me, and it's the greatest honor to wear it on Princess Teresa since its birth... I believe Talleyrand The prince would be very pleased to know that the things he gifted me had played such a role."

coming! Aegron finally heard the long-awaited keyword.

Obviously, although Earl Taylor's words were very obscure, this brooch must be a gift from Talleyrand to his husband and wife - it is also a token, proving that the earl is indeed carrying his entrustment, otherwise the earl How could it be so generous to give such a gift casually?

Only people with huge wealth who don't care about money at all would give such precious gifts casually, and Prince Talleyrand happened to be such a person.

The prince stood for a long time in the era of the Revolution, the Directorate and the Empire, and he was insatiable, using his position as a high-ranking government official to make money wantonly, and did everything possible to make money, although he was later dismissed because of his falling out with Emperor Napoleon. However, the wealth he has accumulated has reached hundreds of millions of francs, which is enough for him to continue his romantic and wealthy life - such a person, it is natural to give such a precious gift at will.

Earl Tylerwyn's speech was only a superficial excuse, and the Earl must have known that Aegron understood the point. He just kept silent, looked at Aegron with the inscrutable smile of a diplomat, and waited. his response.

Aegron also understood why Prince Talleyrand had to squirm so much—because he wanted to leave room.

In the late period of Emperor Napoleon's reign, the two had fallen out. The emperor felt that the foreign minister was too careful and only thought about his own selfishness; while Talleyrand felt that the emperor was overwhelmed by lust, and he was overwhelmed by the desire for power, and he forgot to restrain and balance, so the two had a serious conflict, which ended in Talleyrand's dismissal.

After being dismissed, Talleyrand did not stop. He communicated with Metternich privately and sold all the secrets of the empire to Austria, which was completely a traitor.

In other words, he is the "sinner" of the Empire and the Bonaparte family - if Aigron is entangled in the past Liangzi, he can rage at this **** with the same attitude.

Talleyrand's gift from Earl Tylerwyn was essentially testing Aegron's attitude towards himself, leaving room for each other.

After Aigron wanted to understand this, he was silent.

After a moment, he spoke again.

"We already talked about Prince Talleyrand when we were in Austria. At that time, I was new to the world and couldn't understand many things. Although I didn't hold grudges, I also criticized many of the prince's actions. But now, I have personally experienced how to survive in this sinister and deceitful world, and I have tried my best to preserve myself, and those who are loyal to me, without even worrying about my own reputation for this... And at this time I have been a little bit I understand some of Prince Talleyrand's position." Aigron sighed, "We don't talk about his reputation, you know that even today, there are still many people who want to throw stones at him every day. I think many of his actions , and there is no need to defend it, but - we must see the positive side, in those stormy and **** days, Prince Talleyrand must be wise to protect himself, he does not care about morality and reputation; During his time as the emperor, he really did his best to assist the emperor, and worked with him to expand the interests of France... I think he made a contribution to the empire."

After revealing these "relief" signals, Aigron finally gave a characterization, "There is no doubt that some of Prince Talleyrand's later actions greatly damaged the interests of the empire and damaged his relationship with the emperor. Being dismissed is purely self-inflicted, but... those things have become a thing of the past, we should see the positive side, I believe that his mind and his superb ingenuity should not be buried in the long river of history, He can also contribute to France, just like the Bonaparte family..."

In the end, Aigron made a final decision, "In short, Prince Talleyrand is a useful person to France."
