King's Landing in France

Page 173

An Ning: "Look at this, the evidence is solid, he provoked the relationship between you and Robespierre..."

Danton: "Yes, but so what? Isn't what Madame Beauharney said in the letter the truth? I really don't agree with some of Maximilian's actions. Why should Madame Beauharney tell the truth? Send her lover to the guillotine?"

Robespierre: "He is a careerist, a speculator, and you and I both know that his loyalty to the Republic is far less than his loyalty to himself."

"I know!" Danton interrupted Robespierre, "but we can't send a man to the guillotine for this! And it seems to me that Mr. Paul Barras is quite capable, and he has just been appointed as a special mission. In just a few months, he has quelled the rebellion in the sending place and wiped out the Royalists, the Republic needs his talent!"

Danton continued to shout: "No, no! As the one who has been sowed apart, I firmly oppose sending Paul Ballas to the guillotine for this kind of thing!"

His square face flushed, and he did look a little like a sullen lion.

An Ning looked at Dandong in shock.

A terrible thought rose in his mind.

——My efforts to change the final break between Robespierre and Danton became an opportunity for the rift between the two to widen?

Then a more terrifying idea was born.

Chapter 300 Don Quixote

What terrible thought?

This starts with a sci-fi genre.

This genre belongs to the subdivision category under the theme of time travel, called single timeline time travel theme.

In this genre, all attempts to modify the timeline are futile, because the original timeline includes changes made by time travelers.

The most famous book on this subject is "You Revenant Corpses" by the sci-fi master Heinlein. All the characters appearing in this story are actually the protagonist himself. The protagonist himself constitutes the cause and process of the whole story. and the result.

An Ning has also seen the version performed by domestic authors of this theme in the science fiction world.

In this story, the protagonist and his good friend are fighters of the resistance army or something, and they want to fight a big one. As a result, the enemy suddenly became alert and gunshots broke out, causing him and his good friend to fall into a hard fight, and finally the good friend died.

Then the protagonist time travels to the past to save his best friend, but is interrupted by someone who appears out of nowhere, causing the whole thing to become a mess.

In the end, he was surprised to find that he was the one who caused the death of his friend.

When Jiyou died, he still looked at the protagonist's face in disbelief, not understanding why his best friend came to fuck him.

This is the result of the main character's first time travel.

So the protagonist goes back to the past again in order to prevent the self from doing stupid things back in the past, and then finds that he is the culprit who suddenly appeared and made everything messed up.

This is the result of the second time travel.

So in order to stop this self who wanted to stop himself, he time traveled for the third time, but when he came out of the trip, he just brushed the enemy's face, causing the enemy to become alert.

Then the story ends here, because the protagonist is killed by the enemy, and the cycle does not continue.

This story is actually a simplified version of you ghosts.

In addition, there is also a short story in the Doraemon series by the famous manga artist Fujiko F Fujio that adopts this structure.

The story said that Nobita invited Doraemon to have a meal of dorayaki, and then handed over the homework to him.

As a result, Doraemon dreamed of a good idea, using the time machine to go to the future to find the future self to complete the homework, but when he went to the future, he found that he was beaten up by someone, with a bruised nose and a swollen face.

But he still called his future self back.

As a result, the earlier he was on the timeline, the more irritable he became. He didn't know why this happened, but he continued to implement the plan anyway.

Finally, after the homework was completed, several Doraemons who came from the future beat up Doraemons at this time, and then left angrily.

Doraemon originally thought he could finally go to sleep, but he only slept for two hours. The past self found him. After finally doing his homework again, he just came back and slept for two hours. The self four hours ago I found it...

As a time travel theme, this structure is naturally suitable for building strong dramatic conflicts and creating suspense, but it is a pity that the author's control is too high, so few good ones are written.

At this moment, An Ning looked at the angry Dandong and thought of this genre of time travel stories.

The person who intensified the conflict between Danton and Robespierre was not Paul Ballas at all, but myself?

No, if you think about it carefully, you should have thought of this result.

After all, Danton had already complained to his mistress about his dissatisfaction with Robespierre's actions, and his reaction now was expected.

Why didn't I think of this one?

I chose not to assassinate, but to follow procedural justice, so as not to turn myself into a tyrant, but it made everything worse?

Is it that bastard who came up with such a wicked thing?

Robespierre also became angry at this time. When the Incorruptible was angry, his behavior was completely different from Danton's. When he was angry, his face would become as hard and cold as steel.

Robespierre said decisively: "Dandong, you and I both know that he is an ambitious man and a speculator, can we take this opportunity to deal with him?"

Dandong roared filial piety: "Do you know where I am dissatisfied with you? It's here! It's here just now!

"You and I are both lawyers, and we both know that this is wrong, Maximilian, haven't you woken up yet?

"You'll go astray if you go on like this, and you'll yourself be the enemy of everything we're fighting for! Then I'm afraid I'll have to go against you!"

Robespierre's breathing quickened significantly: "What's wrong with getting rid of a potential enemy for France? Do you have to wait for this enemy to usurp France before you can understand that I am right?"

An Ning: "With all due respect, Paul Ballas does have the possibility, I mean, I see the possibility."

Originally, Dandong wanted to refute Robespierre, but when he heard An Ning say this, he suddenly stopped talking and turned to look at An Ning suspiciously: "You... also agree with his approach? I thought you were a firm moderate!"

An Ning raised his forehead, at this moment he even had the urge to tell the whole story, I am a person from the future, and I know that the future will go to Barabara.

It's a pity that this is an era before the birth of science fiction, and time travel is something that people in this era have never heard of. It might be better to say that I have received God's revelation.

After all, although Danton and Robespierre often make people forget that they are Christians, they are.

In Europe in this era, atheism is rare.

An Ning: "I think, this Ballas said so bluntly that he will wait for you and Maximilian to break up, so shouldn't we break up? Don't do this kind of thing that makes relatives hurt enemies. Ah, George."

Georges Jacques Danton was silent for a few seconds, it was obvious that Tranquility had a huge influence on him.

Finally, Dandong let out a long sigh, like a deflated ball.

It should be said that fortunately An Ning has a huge influence on him, otherwise the friendship between Robespierre and Dandong might come to an end today.

Like Sankara and Compaore 200 years later.

Robespierre was also very relaxed tomorrow: "Well, it really shouldn't be so arbitrary. After thinking about it carefully, Paul Barras is indeed very capable. It is not a bad thing to let him serve the Republic for a while."

Yes, Robespierre may not be good at observing words and deeds, but since Andy doesn't want him and Danton to have a stalemate, the choice of the incorruptible is to give in.

Dandong looked at Robespierre with a strange expression on his face: "You actually gave in? Did I make a mistake? We fought so many times with red faces, and you never gave in. I wanted to beat you several times. "

An Ning: "You may not have such an experience, but when I was a child, I often fought with my brother, but this does not prevent us from being good brothers."

Although An Ning said so, in fact, he hadn't been back home a few times after time travel, and he hadn't seen much with his brothers in his hometown.

At this time, An Ning herself was actually the one who breathed the most relief.

Fortunately, relying on his huge influence to forcibly prevent the break.

——Historical inertia, you hateful devil, just wait and see.

I will not let my story become like a single timeline time travel work!

no way!

An Ning looked at Danton and Robespierre who had regained their bad friend appearance and began to tease each other, thinking silently and unknowingly.

He suddenly decided to get a coat of arms for his family.

The coat of arms should just draw a knight charging towards the windmill.

Chapter 301 The Prestige Lord Frost

Relying on An Ning's great reputation, the two who were about to end their friendship were forcibly pulled back from the brink of rupture.

But the atmosphere between the two is still very awkward.

An Ning also understood, after all, the two of them almost tore their faces apart just now, and the cruel words came out of their mouths, and then he stepped on the brakes with his foot.

No wonder it's not embarrassing.

An Ning could only patch it up again: "By the way, Danton, I was the one who reported Paul Barras, and I blocked this letter from Mrs. Beauarne to Paul Barras."

Yes, there is hatred for me, so that I will not break with Robespierre.

Dandong looked at An Ning in surprise: "You also intercepted Mrs. Beauarney's letter to Ballas? Why?"

"Because my fiancée guessed that there was something in this letter that would be detrimental to the Republic, and she was right. Ballas put his own interests first, even at the expense of the interests of France.

"Under such circumstances, the civil strife among the Jacobins will only make the remnants of the Girondists happy. Barras, who is looking forward to such things, can no longer be trusted."

An Ning stared at Dandong while talking: "And the same is true for Mrs. Beauharne, who has a close relationship with him. It is best for your wife to go to Malmaison Castle as little as possible."

Danton: "I don't care about women's social circles."

"You have to take care of it, it's very important." An Ning emphasized that this is to prevent Dandong from continuing to be influenced by Boarne.

Danton: "Well, you are our leader, you have the final say. But Maximilian, even if it's Andy's report, you can't just make a hasty decision to send someone to the guillotine."

"Of course there will be a trial, and everything will conform to procedural justice." Robespierre spread his hands, "I will not be ambiguous on this point. I am a lawyer, a qualified lawyer."

Danton: "You better be."

An Ning: "Of course he is."

In order to prevent the two from clashing again, An Ning quickly changed the subject: "Also, I think Barras is obliged to come to Paris and explain clearly what is said in this letter."

What An Ning actually thought at this time was, if there was only one order for Balas to come back to report on his work, would Balas misunderstand and run away overnight.

If he did, Murat could be ordered to hunt him down in the name of catching a traitor, life or death.

Of course, it would be better if it was dead.

An Ning suddenly discovered that there was actually quite a lot of bad water in her stomach.

Danton: "Indeed, I also want to hear why he wants to provoke me and Maximilian, we are close friends."

An Ning looked at Dandong and couldn't help complaining: "You have the nerve to say that, if I hadn't been there just now, your friendship would have ended forever."

"How is it possible!" Danton said nonchalantly, "This is nothing more than countless quarrels between friends. I have said more cruel things than this. I wish Maximilian would never have a wife."

Robespierre: "This is obviously a blessing. Falling in love and getting married are meaningless wastes of time and energy..."

An Ning coughed: "I'm going to get married soon..."

Danton and Robespierre looked at him together in shock.

Dandong: "You guys are finally planning to hold the wedding. This is a great thing!"

Robespierre: "It is a beautiful thing for lovers to marry each other."

You just said that getting married is a meaningless waste of time and energy!

Dandong: "Just now you said that getting married is a meaningless waste of time and energy!"

Robespierre: "Did I say it? Well, yes, I said it, but it depends on who gets married. It's a waste of time and energy for me to get married."

An Ning: "Why? I think the landlord's wife is pretty good."

"Well, don't say that about the beautiful new woman who insists on independence," Robespierre said.

An Ning and Dandong exchanged glances, Dandong's face was covered with the words "I see something interesting".

An Ning also felt that it might be possible to make Robespierre and his landlord a pair. The appearance of his wife might soften Robespierre's attitude and prevent him from falling into obsession like in real history.

Afterwards, the three chatted for a while, and then Dandong stood up and said goodbye: "Okay, it's time to prepare for the National Assembly. Maybe we will discuss it late into the night again today."

"Yes, everyone is very enthusiastic about the establishment of a new constitution." Robespierre said with some pride, "The characteristics of the republic are undoubtedly revealed, and various beneficial ideas are constantly coming together. This is the age of the kingdom. Something that never happened before.”

An Ning: "After all, nobles are too stupid."

Napoleon in the real history once said that his greatest achievement was the Napoleonic Code, but in fact this code began to be compiled after the Jacobins came to power. Many celebrities in the Great Revolution contributed their efforts, but in the end they were crowned Napoleon's name.

An Ning: "The code is a very important job, Maximilian, why don't you temporarily step back from your current position and concentrate on compiling the code? This will reduce your burden, and leave the rest to me and Danton. .”

That's right, if Robespierre concentrates on compiling the code, he will definitely be able to avoid the worst outcome.

This is a small challenge launched by the windmill knight Don Quixote Anning to the indescribable existence.

Robespierre actually showed a serious expression on his face.

After a while, he shook his head: "No, I can't concentrate on compiling the law yet. When I finish my term in the National Assembly, I will naturally concentrate on organizing the compilation of the law."
