Chapter 50： to Rome

May 16, 1848 at 7 a.m.

A priest in a white robe and holding a Bible appeared at the Louis Mansion. Behind him were several strong men in linen coats. They were responsible for putting the remains of Louis Napoleon after the priest finished praying. The coffin was carried to the carriage outside the Louis Mansion.

Due to the urgency of time, the original cumbersome etiquette was all simplified, and everything was left to the side after Louis Napoleon stepped into the French land.

The priest came to Louis Napoleon to read a prayer for Louis Napoleon.

After the prayer was recited, Jerome Bonaparte, who was a family member, and Miss Howard, who was half a family member, looked at Louis Napoleon in the coffin affectionately before the coffin was closed.

"May the Lord bless our brother! He will be with the Lord..." After the priest said a bunch of prayers again and again.

The first phase of the funeral ceremony is over.

The strong coffin-carrying man who had been waiting for a long time put the sandalwood coffin on his shoulders and slowly walked down the stairs. Jerome Bonaparte and others followed the coffin-carrying strong man downstairs.

After the Catholic choir on the first floor saw the coffin slowly descending the stairs, they sang a farewell song arranged in Latin in unison.

Several strong men carried the coffin onto the carriage, and the carriage moved slowly under the control of Fleury.

Jérôme Bonaparte, Pessini, Teran, Letty, Tocqueville, Lale and others followed behind the carriage to prove it.

The carriage arrived at the London Dockyard from the East End at about 9 am.

With the help of several dockworkers (who paid for it), Louis Napoleon's coffin was sent to the cargo ship, which would carry Tocqueville and Bonaparte from the London dock to Calais. After the coffin arrived in Calais, The Bonaite elements, headed by Eugène Rouet, and the republican representatives sent by Lamartine will meet.

The estimated time to arrive in France is around May 20.

London Docks.

Jerome Bonaparte, who watched the coffin aboard the boat, took Tocqueville's hand and said, "Mr. Tocqueville, you have to worry about this journey!"

Having said that, Jerome Bonaparte set his eyes on Persini and said, "Persini, the body of my cousin will be handed over to you, and you must not cause trouble to Mr. Tocqueville!"

Pesini nodded in understanding.

Tocqueville, who was unaware of Jerome Bonaparte's trip to Rome, also said politely: "Your Excellency, you must also take care of yourself in London! Leave the matter of Prince Louis to me!"

"That's trouble!" Jerome Bonaparte said sincerely.

Tocqueville and Jérôme Bonaparte parted in a "reluctant" atmosphere.

Pessini boarded the ship with Tocqueville and others, and the cargo ship set off at a quarter to ten in the morning.

On the deck, Pesini and Fleury waved their arms as they bid farewell to Jerome Bonaparte and Letty.

Jerome Bonaparte also reached out to respond.

The cargo ship drifted away and soon disappeared, and Jerome Bonaparte turned to leave the London pier.

Captain Letty, who followed behind Jerome Bonaparte, asked in a low voice, "Your Highness, when will we leave for Rome?"

"Let's go now!" Jerome Bonaparte said without the slightest hesitation.

"Well..." Letty was obviously taken aback by Jerome Bonaparte's resolute behavior.

After a brief surprise, Letty asked cautiously, "Your Highness, should we wait two days to make some necessary plans!"

"Captain Letty!" Jerome Bonaparte stopped and turned to look at Letty, who was gradually following, and said coldly, "Are you afraid?"

Captain Letty straightened his back and said unswervingly, "Your Highness, there is no word for fear in my dictionary! Your order is the meaning of my existence!"

"I believe in your loyalty! Captain, I order you to go with me now!" Jerome Bonaparte gave an order to Captain Letty.

"Yes!" Captain Leddy obeyed Jerome Bonaparte's order.

The two inquired all the way in the London Docks, and finally got the news.

A cargo ship from London to the port of Civitavecchia will depart at 3 pm.

Under the negotiation of Jerome Bonaparte, the captain of the cargo ship was finally willing to take two people at a price of 15 (gold) per person, including accommodation and meals.

Compared with the pre-revolutionary tickets, this fare is simply sky-high.

So much so that after Jerome Bonaparte negotiated the price with the captain, he jokingly complained, "Is the cargo ship made of gold or silver!"

The captain also complained that the Apennine Peninsula is not very peaceful now, and he doesn't know if he can sell his goods.

Under the "warm invitation" of the captain, Jerome Bonaparte and Letty boarded the ship.

The cargo ship set off on time at 3:00 pm. Standing on the plywood and looking at the London dock, which was constantly rearing its legs, Jerome Bonaparte clenched his fists and muttered to himself: "London, I will be back! Next time, I will definitely Will come in another capacity!"

As for the finishing touches of the Bonaparte family in London, Jerome Bonaparte gave Miss Howard full authority. UU reading www. uukanshu.com

…

When Jerome Bonaparte left the land of London with his forefoot.

Albert, who was sitting in the study at Windsor Castle and processing important documents, received the information.

"You mean that fellow Jerome Bonaparte left London for Civitavecchia?" Albert asked the Home Secretary in front of him with a surprised expression.

"That's right!" The Home Secretary hurriedly explained: "This is based on the information I got from the police follow-up investigation under my command!"

"Why did he go to Civitavecchia?" Albert pursed his lips slightly, his smooth and plump forehead creased with thought.

"This..." Of course, the Minister of the Interior, who only knew about Jerome Bonaparte, did not know the theme of Jerome Bonaparte. He could only guess and say: "Will he go to see the Pope?"

"This possibility is not ruled out!" Albert replied, but he was still a little puzzled: "Why did he go to see the Pope? Isn't the relationship between his family and the Pope always bad?"

As the saying goes, if there is no investigation, there is no right to speak. The Home Secretary is silent.

Albert, who couldn't think of what Jerome Bonaparte wanted to do, simply stopped thinking. As long as Jerome Bonaparte didn't touch the bottom line of the United Kingdom's interests, Albert didn't need to pay too much attention to him.

Someone as strong as Napoleon ended up abdicating in the end.

Let it all come naturally!

Prince Albert thought silently in his heart.

He then sternly criticized the Home Secretary for problems with the United Kingdom's police system.

The Home Secretary promised that he would continue to revise the "Police Act" and strive to make fewer mistakes.
