《My Brother is Napoleon》Chapter 35: The arrangement of the brothers
Advertisement
With this principle in mind, Joseph has since taken the approach of not objecting to, but even praising, Mara's folklore.
But everything is easier to know than to do. It is not difficult to decide to adopt the policy of "agree with him, encourage him, and train him to be an idiot", but it is really hard to agree with a very idiot point of view against one's will. Joseph even remembered a passage he had seen in his lifetime about the great poet Zhang.
It is said that Commander Zhang compiled his poems such as "Daming Lake is big, there are lotus flowers on Daming Lake, and there are toads on top of the lotus flowers, poking and jumping. I compiled a collection of poems and asked an old gentleman to evaluate them. The old man didn't know that Zhang had written the poem, so after reading it, he said, "Bullshit!
Commander Chang was furious: "How dare you say that my poem is "no good at all"? I think you don't want to live anymore! Somebody, drag this old man out and shoot him!
When the old man heard that, he knew it was bad, he hurriedly knelt and begged, "Commander, Commander, I'm old and dizzy, I didn't see it just now ...... Please let me look again ......"
Zhang then told the guards to let go of the old gentleman, for the time being, patted the box gun at his waist, and said to him: "Old thing, this time you have to look carefully!
The old man read Commander Zhang's poetry book twice more seriously, then sighed, put it down, stood up, and said to Zhang : "Commander, you'd better tell someone to drag me out and shoot me.
Now Joseph was tempted to say to Mara, who was sputtering, "You'd better drag me to the guillotine.
Mara let Joseph go and argued with Danton.
Armand then took Joseph to meet some other people and told them that Joseph was a rising star in science and had a great eye for art, for example, his unfinished Spartacus had a lot of content from Joseph's suggestions.
So we talked. When young Frenchmen talk together, if the topic is not women, it is politics. Joseph was then surprised to find that the future Jacobins around him, the most famous of whom, Robespierre, was not present, did not seem to have a radical political attitude at this time.

Mara advocated a constitutional monarchy - perhaps because he had studied in England. Danton was more conservative, believing that an enlightened monarchy was the best system - on this point, he and Voltaire were in general agreement. Louis, his political views are more inclined toward Mara, or even more inclined toward Aureano, but it is clear that he seems to hate Mara a little more than Danton. And here the master Abel who is less concerned about the specific political system, he is more concerned about the bottom of those who do not have the pants of the rights of the defense.
Seriously, the only person who supports a republic is almost Oreno, and even Oreno is not particularly firm, because in his view, if a republic cannot be realized, then a constitutional monarchy does not seem unacceptable. In short, that is, if they were suddenly thrown by some force a few years later, they would certainly be guillotined by their future selves as "counter-revolutionary" or simply hung on a street lamp post.
"It is normal that they are still moderate now - in fact, even the most radical youths are only so radical nowadays - so the Duke of Orléans feels that he can use them, use these little sparks in the dry woodpile, and push himself to the throne. The Duke of Orléans and his men thought they could use them, use these little sparks in the dry woodpile, to put themselves on the throne. They did not know that once the fire started, the situation might not be under their control. This is really 'those who play with fire will burn themselves. Joseph could not help but think this.
It was not difficult for Joseph to deal with such a gathering. He was a post-apocalyptic traveler, and he had seen a variety of political theories, political systems, and various political experiments. It is not a problem to deal with these politically immature future bigwigs. Even Louis, who had been so calm as a marble statue, sighed that "there was a man as versatile as Bonaparte in the world.
In fact, at first, Joseph was hesitant to accept Armand's invitation to join these "radicals" because most of them had either chopped off a lot of brains or had their brains chopped off, and some of them had both chopped off a lot of brains and had their brains chopped off. Too much association with these dangerous elements, I am afraid, will also be very dangerous. But considering that the Revolution was after all an inescapable torrent, the so-called inescapable meant that it was equally dangerous not to recognize these dangerous elements and not to associate with them at all. So in the end, Joseph decided that he must deal with these people, but he must keep a good distance. He had to let them have a certain good feeling about him so that no one would target him in the future, but he could not be too close to them so that he would not be unnecessarily involved in political struggles.

In this era, the status of outstanding scientists is similar to that of the great scholars in ancient China. These people may not be powerful, but it is an honor for others to associate with them. So in the end, everyone invited Joseph to attend more of their gatherings quite sincerely. However, this did not meet Joseph's expectations, so Joseph had to apologize to everyone. He said that he would like to attend such gatherings more often, but he had an important mathematical problem that he was working on recently, and he was afraid that he would be very busy during this time, so he might not be able to come to the gatherings.
"What kind of problem did Mr. Bonaparte have?" Mara was very interested in this.
Joseph spread his hands and said, "It sounds simple enough, but when you get down to it, you just can't get started. Perhaps I need a spark of inspiration to shine through. Well, one student told me that he found that all the maps seemed to need only four colors to distinguish the different areas. He just didn't know how to prove it mathematically. I thought the problem was interesting and didn't seem too difficult, so I tried to prove it, and, well, I still haven't made any progress.
This problem is one of the so-called "Four Color Conjectures" in the world of mathematics. This problem sounds simple, even elementary school students can understand this problem. But to prove it, the difficulty is beyond imagination. Even in later times, it took as many as 10 billion judgments with the help of electronic computers to prove this problem. In this era, the problem is almost insoluble.
Josephus brought out this problem as an excuse there is also the opportunity to take advantage of the meaning of the Minke Mara. Generally speaking, this kind of problem that is easy to understand and seems to need only a spark of inspiration to solve, is always the easiest to get the favor of the Minco.
As expected, Mara was immediately interested in this question: "Is it a difficult question?
"Yes, it is difficult. I think it is as hard as cubic product, circle to square, and trisecting angles. Joseph replied, "I have already raised this question in a letter to the Academy of Sciences and suggested that if there is no way to prove it in a short time, we should make it public and offer a reward.
This statement naturally made Mara more excited, and he even took out a small notebook and a pen: "Mr. Bonaparte, please repeat the topic.
......
With this excuse, Joseph was able to keep a certain distance from these people. Now that he had both brothers except Napoleon, he had to focus more on the training of his brother.
Louis was still young, not yet ten years old, and it was still too early for him to be trained specifically for this purpose. But Lucien had already begun to show some talent in speech and art. Joseph, who was not well versed in history in his previous life, did not know that Lucien had once been the president of the House of Five Hundred and had played a key role in Napoleon's rise to power, but since Lucien had already demonstrated his talent in this area, it seemed good to let him develop in this direction.
"In time, Napoleon devoted himself to military affairs. I will guarantee the good name of my family and the general direction of France's development. The most important thing is that you have to be able to get the best out of the world. In a sense, the rose is a weapon of war.
Joseph himself has few ties to the art world, so he has to rely on Armand for a lot of things here. However, Joseph was very uneasy about Armand's attitude towards life. Lucien is at a critical stage in the formation of his outlook, and it would be a real challenge for him to learn from Armand. ...... The good thing is that recently, Armand and the gang of radicals mixed after the virtue of this area is much better.

But rare or not, the magic isn't gone. The great Working that protects us from the horrors of the past does not have the power to destroy such things. Instead, it created the Partition, a tapestry of worlds beyond the boundary of our own. There the magic roams, searching for a way to come back. I am a Knight of Avalon.
