Chapter 19： "God" Movement

Except for Jérôme Bonaparte, no one would know that the sudden death of Louis Napoleon made the whole of Europe begin to move along the original historical line.

Jérôme realized that he had to be more careful with every move, the "pillar" of Bonaparte's family died prematurely, and he had to become a new "pillar" to support the followers of Bonaparte. .

Looking at the corpse of his cousin lying motionless on the bed, Jerome immediately gave the first order: "Pescini!"

"Yes!" Pessini responded immediately.

"My cousin's corpse can't exist for too long, so can I cremate my cousin's corpse!" Jerome Bonaparte asked Pesigny.

As soon as these words came out, the expressions of everyone present changed a little.

Pesini's expression was a little stiff.

Miss Howard, who burst into tears, accused Jerome with anger, "You want to burn your cousin's body before it's cold!"

Facing Howard's angry accusations, Jerome Bonaparte realized that there is no tradition of cremation in Europe.

Catholics even believe that cremation is disrespectful to the corpse, and it is a despicable act that prevents the corpse from completing the "resurrection".

Even the United Kingdom, headed by the Anglican Church, was only cremated in glory at the end of the 19th century.

In 1848 European countries were reluctant to cremate dead bodies.

I was negligent!

Jerome, who was still thinking in modern society, glanced at the resentful Miss Howard, and then glanced at the Bonapartists with different expressions, and resolutely admitted his mistakes.

Only then did the expressions of Miss Howard and the Bonapartists improve.

Since cremation was not feasible, Jerome considered embalming his cousin's body to some extent.

The technology of embalming has become a mature process from Egypt thousands of years ago. The uncle of Jerome (Louis Napoleon called his uncle) Emperor Napoleon was embalmed after his death, and then for people to visit .

It was said that he seemed to have been cut with a knife, and Jerome held a moment of silence in his heart for his unmasked uncle.

Persini obeyed Jerome Bonaparte's order and was ready to find a qualified embalming master at dawn the next day.

"Where are you taking Louis?" The wise Miss Howard soon realized Jerome Bonaparte's plan.

Jerome Bonaparte said with a tragic tone: "Cousin is going back to France! That is his home! He is a hero of the French Republic, and a hero should be enshrined in the Invalides!"

hero? Invalides?

Miss Howard didn't know what Jerome wanted to do, but the woman's sixth sense reminded her that the guy in front of her seemed to want to make a fuss about Louis' corpse.

But she is only Louis Napoleon's lover, and has no right to prevent Jerome Bonaparte, a worthy relative, from making a decision.

After a short period of time regarding the handling of the cousin's body, Jerome Bonaparte smiled and said to everyone present: "Everyone has been tired for several days! Go back and rest first! I'll just watch over here. "

Persini and others insisted that they also guard the body of Louis Napoleon, but Jerome Bonaparte could only agree to their request.

Everyone worked together to take off Louis Napoleon's clothes and put on his favorite military uniform from the First Empire period. This military uniform was the one he wore when he launched the coup in Boulogne. By the way, he helped Louis Napoleon wipe his body. , covered him with a tricolor cloth symbolizing the French flag, embroidered on the cloth with a flying eagle.

This is the national flag that Louis Napoleon dreamed of hanging over France, and now it can only be covered on himself.

Having done all this, Jerome and the others stood around Louis Napoleon quietly watching the flag covering Napoleon III.

On this day, no one rested in Louis Napoleon's mansion. The rainstorm stopped around 5 o'clock, and the dark clouds shrouded in downtown London were blown to other places by the strong wind.

At 7:00 a.m. on May 9th, the eastern sky finally turned white, the fiery red sun rose slowly, and the sun shined on Louis Napoleon's body through the glass.

Seeing this, Pessini hurriedly closed the curtains, and the sunlight could only reach the bedside through the curtains.

Time passed again to 9:00 a.m., and the number of gentlemen on the street gradually increased. They wore top hats and walked leisurely on St. James Street with a cane made of unknown wood in their hands.

Persini is also ready to set off to find a famous embalming master in the London area. This time, it is Tyran who follows Persini to drive the carriage.

Just after Pesini and Tyrann left, Doctor James came to ask about Louis Napoleon as usual.

The moment he pushed open the door, UU read www. uukanshu.com He saw the national flag covering the body of Louis Napoleon, as well as the sad faces of Jerome.

Dr. James came to Jerome Bonaparte with a serious face and said some words of comfort to Jerome.

Jerome Bonaparte also expressed his gratitude to Dr. James for his presence.

"I'm just doing my job faithfully! Besides, your cousin's illness hasn't gotten better because of my treatment! Speaking of which, I'm ashamed to be a doctor!" The dissipation of life (or the dissipation of money?) Doctor James sighed and asked Jerome about his plans.

Jerome told him "sincerely" that he would bring his cousin back to France and participate in the French elections.

Hearing that he wanted the answer, Dr. James comforted Jerome again and left in a hurry.

Looking at the background where Doctor James left in a hurry, Jerome showed a successful smile on his face.

On the other hand, Pessini and Tyran also invited the best embalming experts in London. After the two sides negotiated a price of 100 pounds, the doctor began to work on Louis Napoleon's body.

Jerome and the others did not gather in the room, but left and went downstairs, leaving Fleury alone to supervise the progress.

Not long after, a gorgeous carriage stopped in front of Louis Napoleon's mansion.

John Brown, the steward of the United Kingdom's royal family, got off the carriage and knocked on the door of the mansion.

Pesini, who was in charge of opening the door, was extremely surprised when he saw John Brown. The arrival of the British royal family was something he never expected.

"Hello, Earl Pesini!" John Brown saluted Pesini.

"Hello, Steward Brown!" Pesini nodded and lowered his eyebrows, a smile on his melancholy face.
