Napoleon II Reborn

Chapter 74: summoned by the emperor

(Recently, votes and collections are a bit short, Xiaoyu implores everyone to vote and collect more, thank you!)

It was almost noon when he came out of the Academy of Sciences. After a busy morning, Xiao Jie was already hungry. "Why didn't I expect to have lunch at that old guy Monge just now? I gave him five million francs just now, so it's not too much to eat a meal from him." During the downturn, the country's financial revenue cannot make ends meet, and the appropriation for the Academy of Sciences is pitifully small. Often, even the minimum wages of scientists cannot be paid, let alone scientific experiments. And Xiao Jie's large investment in the Academy of Sciences undoubtedly helped them at this most difficult time. The two investments totaled 10 million francs, which was absolutely a huge sum of money at the time.

When he got home, Xiao Jie grabbed the snacks on the table in the living room and devoured them hungrily. He also asked, "Mom, when will dinner be served? I'm almost starving to death."

"What did you do in the morning? Didn't you have breakfast in the morning? Then I'll tell the kitchen to serve breakfast earlier." Julie said looking at Xiao Jie's eating image.

At this moment, a servant came in and said, "His Royal Highness, Your Royal Highness, the Crown Prince. The Emperor's adjutant, General Diloc, is here."

"Ask him to come in," Julie said. Xiao Jie also stopped the fight to destroy Dim Sum. Both he and Julie were a little puzzled. Dilloch was a big celebrity around Napoleon, and he usually followed Napoleon every step of the way. Why did he have time to come to them today.

Dilloch came in, saluted Julie and Xiao Jie respectively, and said, "His Royal Highness, His Majesty the Emperor wants to see you."

"It turns out that he came here to deliver the message, but he doesn't need to come in person to deliver the message." Xiao Jie was a little puzzled. Said: "You see, it's already noon now, and I haven't had lunch yet. Do you think I'll go after lunch? Has Your Excellency General eaten lunch? If you haven't eaten, stay and eat together. "

After listening to Xiao Jie's words, Dilloch was a little dumbfounded. This was the first time he met someone who knew that His Majesty was going to summon him and had to wait until after lunch. Besides, it's a shame to pass on this order in person, even if it's His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, you can't be so rude. If it's another person, don't rush there right away, even if it's on the woman's stomach, you have to get off right away. "Thank you, His Majesty the Crown Prince. Your Majesty has already eaten. His Majesty the Emperor is waiting for you at the Tuileries Palace. It would be bad if His Majesty had to wait for a long time." Diloc said with a bitter face.

"Since His Majesty the Emperor wants to see you, go right away, so what if you miss a meal?" Julie also said sharply beside her. She felt that her son seemed to be less able to understand the etiquette of nobles as he got older, and he should be more well-behaved when he was a child.

"Okay, can't I leave right away?" Xiao Jie said impatiently. When he left, he muttered in a low voice: "People are iron, rice is steel, and if you don't eat a meal, you will be hungry. Do you know?" When passing by the snack table, he casually took two pieces and put them in his hand , intending to eat while in the carriage.

Seeing Xiao Jie's action, Julie frowned. He said in his heart: "It's time to review the etiquette of the nobility for this kid. If others see it, he will lose the face of the royal family." Dillock pretended not to see it at all, eyes Staring straight ahead.

When he arrived at the Tuileries Palace, Xiao Jie also wiped out all the snacks in his hands, and he also ate some at home, so he is basically full now.

Accompanied by the adjutant Diloc, Xiao Jie came to the outside of Napoleon's office after crossing several cordons personally set up by Napoleon's chief bodyguard, Barlot.

Dilloch went in first to report, and took Xiao Jie in after Napoleon agreed.

As soon as Xiao Jie walked in, Napoleon enthusiastically stood up from behind the desk, walked up to Xiao Jie and gave him a warm hug. Then he said: "My dear Andrési, why haven't you come to see me for so long?"

"Dear uncle, I think so too. But you know, the 88th Legion has just been formed, and there are still many things waiting for me? Isn't it? I have been busy for so long to get the Legion on the right track, and I have a little Time to rest." Xiao Jie said innocently.

"Really? But how did I hear that you handed over all the military affairs to Dougal and Ike, and ran back to Paris alone?" Napoleon looked at Xiao Jie with a smile on his lips.

"This? This? Oh, that's right. I've been really tired recently, so I gave myself a few days off. I'll go back to the army as soon as the vacation is over." Xiao Jie continued to quibble.

"Oh, is that so? Then how many days is your vacation?" Napoleon continued to ask.

"What? Let me think about it. It seems to be three days. No, today is the third day. A week? Half a month? Or a month? Well, it is a month." Xiao Jie said.

"Okay? Andresi. This is the first time I've heard that someone will take a month off after working for a week." Napoleon said a little angrily.

Xiao Jie quickly said: "It's too tiring and boring to be in the barracks. I don't want to stay there all the time. Besides, didn't Du Geer and the others lead the troops well? I also wrote a new drill for them. , as long as they train soldiers according to the drill code, they can definitely train the 88th Army to become the elite of the empire~www.wuxiaspot.com~ The little guy is quite confident." Napoleon thought. He knew from the very beginning that the 88th Army had switched to the new drill code written by Xiao Jie, and he had read it. The training methods and many tactics above seemed unbelievable to him, completely overturning the current military. common sense. He also wanted to see what kind of army Xiao Jie could bring out in the end, so he didn't stop him. Anyway, all the expenses of the 88th Legion except for the soldiers were borne by Xiao Jie himself. Even if there were any losses, it would not damage the national power of the empire. Think of it as spending money to buy a lesson, but I am afraid that no one except the royal family can afford this price.

"Andresi, it was you who proposed to form the legion at the beginning, how can you be so irresponsible now? You must know that you will inherit the throne of the empire in the future, you must have your own team, just like me It’s the same with Marshal Davout by your side. Dugor and the others are elites of the younger generation in the army. I hope you can take good care of them and gain their loyalty. This is very important for you in the future.” Napoleon Lun couldn't help but began to educate himself, this somewhat 'playful' heir, with earnestness and earnestness.

Xiao Jie also knew that Napoleon was doing it for his own good, and he also promised to stay in Paris for a few days and return to the barracks after finishing his busy work, and he would only go home once a month. The 88th Legion must be trained to be the most elite legion in the empire.

Of course Napoleon did not believe Xiao Jie's bold words. Just let him prepare for his future.

To be honest, before the 'King of Rome' was born, Napoleon treated Xiao Jie like his own son. But after the 'King of Rome' was born, I am afraid that everything will change. After all, what you give birth to is the best.
