Following the invitation, Charles stayed. He continued to sit in his place, quietly looking at the cups on the table.

Joseph Bonaparte, on the other hand, went out with Carrion to see the other participants out of the meeting.

Fortunately, he didn't have to wait long, and Joseph came back alone, and then closed the door with his hand.

He picked up his glass and walked over to a spot next to Charles, a gentle smile on his face.

"Mr. Treville, I didn't mean to target you with that question, please don't take it personally."

Charles shook his head indifferently. "It's okay, after hearing my suggestion, many people will think like that, and your asking like that gives me the opportunity to explain to others, I'm afraid that's what you intended, right?"

Joseph nodded slightly. "It's great that you can think so clearly. Sure enough, you are one of the few young men in the organization...... Charles, I've heard your name, and most of the people who mention you have a good impression of you. ”

He called out "Charles" instead of the original "Mr. Trevier", and suddenly closed the distance between him and Charles without a trace.

Is this a gesture of goodwill? weishenme？ Charles pondered the other party's true intentions in his heart, but the expression on his face did not show doubt.

"It's my pleasure." Charles responded with the same smile.

Joseph picked up the wine bottle on the table, and poured red wine first for Charles's glass, then for his own.

"Charles, don't be too modest, we're all young people, you're even younger than me, and when the two of us face each other, we don't have to talk so much cliché......" he raised his glass, "Here, cheers!" ”

Seeing him like this, Charles naturally raised his wine glass and touched his glass lightly, "!" ”

Then both took a sip of their wine.

"My brother sent me this time, because the matter is too important to be passed on by someone who can be trusted; In addition, there is some meaning to train young people - after all, just like your grandfather asked you to join the organization in his place two years ago, we young people will have to fight the world in the future......" Joseph finished drinking and re-spoke, "So, I will tell Louis the advice you just provided." And, in my personal opinion, it does make a lot of sense......"

Politics is nothing more than uniting the majority, isolating the few, and striking at a small handful. Mature politicians never deal with many enemies at the same time, they will pull one faction down first, and then bring down the previous allies.

Now that the Orleans faction is the primary enemy, the Orthodoxy, the opponent of the Orleans faction, is naturally within the range of allies that can be "temporarily wooed".

This is the essence of the Charr proposal.

"That's Xiexie." Charles nodded in acknowledgment.

Joseph lifted his glass, then looked closely at the red liquor in the glass.

"Charles, Louis and I are very touched by the Marquis de Treville's unwavering devotion to the Bonaparte family over the years...... However, you also know that in return, 'moving' is too cheap, and you have to talk about it in real things. He continued to smile. My uncle, Emperor Napoleon I, Bixia, never treated his benefactors and loyal servants badly, and your grandfather must have been well aware of this. ”

"We are faithful to the ideals of the Emperor, and the return of the Bonaparte family to the top of France is the greatest reward for our family's hard work." Charles immediately replied with a formulaic nonsense.

"Of course, we can't live by ideals alone, and we Bonaparte have always been well aware of this." Joseph lifted it up again and was sipped. "Louis and I can't compare to the amazing Emperor Bixia in any other talent, but in terms of 'generosity' we think we can learn a little bit from him...... So, Charles, do your job, and the Bonapartes will never treat their loyalists badly. ”

What does he mean by that? Charles's heart tightened slightly.

He has already made a wish to everyone once before, and weishenme has to tell me again? What did he mean by that? What exactly is the intention?

"After all, just like your grandfather asked you to join the organization in his place two years ago, in the future, after all, we young people will have to fight the world......

At this time, Charles suddenly remembered the words that Joseph had just pointed out in his heart, and then suddenly realized in his heart.

He's planning for the future!

Louis Bonaparte was born in 1808, nearly 40 years old by now, and the future emperor was still busy with the "revolutionary cause" of usurping power, and he did not even get married, let alone give birth to an orthodox heir (there were two illegitimate children, but they did not have the right to inherit at all, and could not inherit the throne of the head of the Bonaparte family).

Moreover, since Louis's brother had long since died, and there were no other brothers (there was one half-brother, and his mother Otense de Beauharne had another illegitimate son, although this brother was obviously not eligible to inherit either), if Louis died suddenly, the patriarchship of the House of Bonaparte would naturally be inherited by his cousin Joseph Bonaparte.

However, inheriting the position of patriarch does not mean that you can fully inherit the resources of the organization, and if you do not establish enough personal authority early, it may be difficult to get everyone's approval.

Therefore, in order to successfully take over the leadership of the Bonaparte faction in the future, he wants to build his own team in advance, which is completely understandable, completely logical, and even imperative.

As one of the few young young men at this level within the organization, it is not surprising that Charles is valued and deliberately wooed by him.

Obviously, he was preparing to take over the Charles as a major help for his future smooth and complete takeover of the Bonapartist organization.

His idea was a good one, and it was worth Charles's touch. However, what exactly should the charr think of this kind of co-optation?

In an instant, several thoughts crossed Charles' mind, and then he quickly came to a conclusion.

It's okay to wait and see, but not to get too involved.

Later generations know that Napoleon III married the Spanish aristocratic lady Eugénie in 1853 and gave birth to his legitimate heir, Napoleon Eugène Louis Bonaparte (later Napoleon IV), on March 16, 1856, and Joseph's dream of inheriting the patriarch of Bonaparte and the imperial throne was dashed.

Although there may be some changes in history with the crossing of the Charles, since the event of "Louis Bonaparte taking a wife after ascending the throne and then giving birth to an orthodox heir" could occur in the previous life, then this life should also be able to happen, and it is just a matter of changing the queen - so, normally, after the establishment of the Second French Empire in this shijie, the major event of "Joseph Bonaparte losing his hope of inheriting the throne" should also happen again.

So, Charles decides that he can't tie himself too tightly to the ship, which looks like it's destined to sink.

However, this does not mean that he cannot have a good friendship with the future Prince Joseph Bonaparte.

He said it so vaguely, it was obvious that he was testing whether Charles's understanding and thinking were clear, and whether he was a talent worth recruiting and befriending, and Charles naturally couldn't let him down.

Charles replied carefully. "The Trévilles have received the favor of the Emperor Napoleon and will repay the Bonapartes with loyalty, and our loyalty to the Bonapartes has remained unwavering in the presence or absence of the Emperor. I'm glad you were able to value this loyalty ...... of ours"

Charles accentuated the phrase "House of Bonaparte", indicating that he and the Marquis de Treville family would be loyal to everyone who succeeded to the throne of the House of Bonaparte, and would not hesitate to be who the other person was.

No doubt Joseph understood, and he was pleased with the answer, and he was appreciative of Charles' understanding and astuteness, which he had no idea of at all, and Charles had not promised him anything.

"Very well, we won't let the Tréville family down." He nodded, then raised his glass again.

The two took another sip of wine.

"I've heard from you that you've done a lot since you joined the organization, and it's pretty impressive." Joseph spoke again, "Especially in the matter of winning over the old marshal recently, it is too good!" Even my brother was full of praise. ”

Charles smiled and nodded. "It's a joint effort."

"But not everybody can do it." Joseph replied. "We can't lose sight of the value of talent."

Then, his face suddenly became a little solemn, "Speaking of which, I've read your recent report...... You see, how much hope is there for success? ”

"As far as I can see, there is a lot of hope for success." Charles replied again as he had thought beforehand. "Sirter is great, but this time we are attacking inside and outside, and I think it will be difficult for him to parry."

He didn't want to say it to death, but he wanted to be able to give some convincing arguments to move it.

Sure enough, Joseph lowered his head slightly and fell into deep thought.

Charles stopped talking, leaving it to the other to consider.

After a brief moment of contemplation, Joseph looked up again. "That's a good idea, Charles, and I'll let Carrion and the others assist you as much as possible. If necessary, you can mobilize the resources of your organization to accomplish this task. ”

Then he looked directly at Charles, "If you can do this, it will be a great achievement, and I believe you yourself know the value of this feat." In the meantime, we will never forget your credit......"

Then, as if he was afraid that Charles didn't understand, he emphasized it again.

"Louie and I will not forget."

“xiexie。” Charles's voice was as calm as ever.

"Good." Joseph withdrew his gaze, "I still have some business to do in France during this time, but I'm afraid I won't show up again for safety reasons." It's up to you to do what you want! I'm sure you won't let us down. ”

Charles looked back.

“xiexie。”

"Cheers, then?" The future prince smiled and raised his glass again.

Charles raised his glass.

"Cheers."
