The Duke of Orleans was in a terrible mood these days, and as the riots in the city were quelled, he felt as if his Palais Royale had become the focal point of Paris, even though outside the palace the Prince of Condé had left the area around the Palais Royale with his guards.
The Duke learned from his own spies buried in the royal family that the royal family had begun an investigation into the thirteen six-pounder cannons that had appeared during the siege of the Bastille, and that Louis XVI was saying that if he knew who had done it, he and his family would be subjected to the most brutal punishment.
Before the French Revolution, that is, when there was no guillotine, for those criminals who committed serious crimes, the punishment of car splitting was often used, the so-called car splitting is to tie people's limbs and heads with ropes and tie them to five carriages, and then drive the carriages to pull in different directions, so that the human body can be torn into five pieces, so it is called car splitting.
When Orleans remembered that the criminal he had seen a few months ago being torn apart, he felt that his breathing was already very difficult, as if a rope had been put around his neck, and when the time came, his body would be torn apart!
Thinking of this, the Duke of Orleans's body even trembled a little, at this moment "Father" "Ahhh The sudden sound made the Duke of Orleans scream in a hideous and crazy way, but when he saw the person clearly, he hurriedly took a few deep breaths.
"Do you have something to do?
Philip" The Duke of Orleans's actions just now made the Duke of Chart very startled, and then when he saw his father's pale face.
Philip hurriedly lowered his head and said: "Father, I have received news that Queen Mary did not agree to Napoleon's proposal for a mass trial.
And according to the news from our people, Mary is ready to release a group of people who can change their minds from among those who have been captured."
Hearing the Duke of Chart say this, the Duke of Orleans's face was obviously happy "Is the message confirmed?"
"Father, don't worry, this news will definitely not be wrong!"
Hearing the Duke of Chart's assurance, the Duke of Orleans breathed a sigh of relief, and after a while.
That invincible temperament returned to the Duke of Orleans again, as a great nobleman who had been rampant in the political arena for many years, the Duke of Orleans had a different temperament.
And the previous gaffe was entirely due to Orleans' fear of the punishment of the car split, after all, such a terrible punishment, to say that he was not afraid, it would be absolutely a lie.
"Good.
Let's get our people to figure out how to deal with these cannons right away.
And let the people in the prison show me a way from now on, and you clean up at once, no, let your sisters clean up at once, and then our family will go to Queen Mary."
Speaking of this, the Duke of Chart seemed to be a little unable to believe his ears, just now the old Duke of Orleans actually said that he wanted the family to meet Mary?
His head isn't funny, is it?
However, despite the doubts of the Duke of Charte, the words of the Duke of Orleans were like a holy decree in the Palace of Royal, and it was impossible for anyone to disobey the orders of the Duke of Orleans.
"Yes.
Father" With that, the Duke of Chart saluted Orleans.
Then he withdrew, and just after the Duke of Schart had gone, the Duke of Orleans, who had remained in the room, said: "I hope Her Royal Highness will be willing to spare us" After that, he sighed And in fact, will Mary forgive the Duke of Orleans for his actions?
Although there is no direct evidence that the thirteen six-pounder guns came from the hands of the Duke of Orleans, being able to have such firepower in Paris must mean that there is a huge organization behind it, and there are only a handful of organizations in Paris that can have such power.
But what is surprising is that after the Duke of Orleans's family visited Marie, after an exchange of interests, Marie agreed not to exterminate the Duke of Orleans, but the Duke must swear to defend the regime of Louis XVI and maintain the stability of the Kingdom of France.
But when it was all over, the Duke of Orleans, who returned to the Royal Palace, pouted disdainfully and spat out two words: stupid.
In fact, Mary wanted to rectify the Duke of Orleans, but forced by the current situation, although Orleans repeatedly provoked the royal family, Mary could not go to war with the Duke of Orleans regardless of anything.
After the riots in Paris, the power of the Duke of Orleans was greatly hit, and as a close relative of the Bourbon royal family, if Marie did something to the Duke of Orleans, then Her Royal Highness would inevitably be disgusted and even resisted by many royal relatives, which was completely unsuitable for the interests of France in Marie's opinion.
Although Marie had most of the French army in her hands, at some point, the army did not represent everything, and as an Austrian woman who was alone in the upper echelons of France, Marie did not have a lot of bargaining chips in her hands, and in this way, Marie's rule represented the right grasp of power and the right compromise.
The riots in Paris have exposed some of the contradictions within France, and this riot has put many people on the opposite side of the royal family, if at this time, Marie severely punished the Duke of Orleans, then the division of the Bourbon royal family must be inevitable.
At that time, the royal family was in a state of confrontation, and how could the power of the royal family be expected to help Mary calm the instability in the country.
Politics means compromise, this sentence is applicable everywhere, a ruler who only knows the enmity is bound to be a good ruler, or as an individual, the enmity is an extremely painful thing, but as a ruler, when you have the power that ordinary people do not have, you also have more worries than ordinary people, if you let yourself condense into a rope that can be used for yourself, this is a big science.
Napoleon, after learning that Marie had agreed to let the Duke of Orleans go, went to Marie in a rage "Your Royal Highness, Orleans' ambitions are well known!
Isn't the thirteen six-pounder guns outside the Bastille still enough to make you understand?
The evidence in my hands points to the Duke of Orleans, and such a man is the greatest destabilizing factor in all of France!
” "Napoleon, the Duke of Orleans is also a close relative of the royal family, now is the time for us to combine our forces to quell the internal strife, if it is suspected that the Duke of Orleans is harming the harmony within the royal family at this time, how can the Bourbon royal family, which cannot be twisted into a rope, lead its people to defeat those careerists and those enemies abroad!"
"Your Highness, isn't Orleans an ambitious?
His desire for the throne of the king of France has been heard even by those who are far away on the mainland, and the family of Orleans has never given up their desire for the throne, and the great-grandfather of Orleans, that Philip II, has not done it enough obviously!
The smell of ambition flows in the blood of this family!
” Marie was a little overwhelmed by Napoleon's sonorous words, she didn't expect Napoleon to be so excited, but in any case, she had promised Orleans that as the queen of France, she must do what she says.
"Napoleon, I know better than you the tricks of the Duke of Orleans, but now is not the time to say this, the current situation no longer allows me to attack a close relative of the royal family, and as long as we don't give Orleans a chance, then he can only be his prince forever!"
Although Mary was very arrogant, Napoleon did not agree with this at all, and seeing that the law stopped Mary's mind, Napoleon anxiously shouted: "But, Your Highness, if you do this, you will regret it!"
Marie seemed incredulous to hear Napoleon say this, but then a burst of anger ensued, and since she had taken power on behalf of Louis XVI, not many people had dared to speak in front of her "Napoleon!
I think you're crazy!
” After saying that, Mary no longer paid attention to Napoleon, strode away from Napoleon's side, looking at Mary's back, Napoleon felt a pang of colic in his heart.

Six of the thirteen six-pounder guns were lost by the bombing, and later, because of the damage that Bridgestone had lost when he left, and the original inscriptions on the barrels had been removed, and in this case Louis XVI's order was vaguely dealt with, at the cost of the lives of the twenty mobs.
On August 20, 1789, to everyone's surprise, the Habsburgs themselves sent an envoy to Brandenburg with the mission of facilitating a meeting between Joseph II and Wilhelm.
After discussing the chaos in Paris with Kautz and Leopold, Joseph II had the whim to have a private hostage meeting with William, and Joseph II's idea surprised Kanitz and Leopold, but because of Joseph II's firmness, the two could not change the emperor's mind.
Later, Joseph II sent an emissary to Brandenburg, this time wishing to meet with the head of the Hohenzollern in his capacity as head of the Habsburgs, which Joseph II apparently defined as a dialogue between two powerful families.
But it is clear that the identities of these two men doomed them to not just exist as the heads of their respective families, and they each represented a powerful nation.
