Chapter 15 This love can be remembered

Life sometimes goes wrong, and when you miss a moment, it seems that you are destined to miss a lifetime.Being a human is sometimes embarrassing, and you often have to look back suddenly to realize that the person you most desire to join hands with has another embrace, and you have already shouldered a heavy responsibility. At the beginning of 1796, Napoleon, who was only 27 years old, met Josephine de Beauarned in Paris. Josephine went through ups and downs in her early years. Her husband, Viscount Beauarnide, was a playboy who accomplished nothing but spent his life and was later pushed to the guillotine during the French Revolution.Josephine was implicated by him and was imprisoned with the death row. She was going to die, but she was pardoned because of her beauty.There are two kinds of rumors here, one is that the people of Paris marveled at her beauty and strongly demanded a pardon; the other is the intervention of her later lover, Talion, one of the leaders of the Thermidor Party at that time.

At that time Josephine was already a 33-year-old wealthy widow.She is graceful and graceful, exuding the charming charm unique to mature women, like a plump and plump strawberry fruit, which deeply attracted Napoleon, who is not amazing, thin and short.The empathetic Josephine praised Napoleon for "he will be a great general in the future".Two people can be said to be in love at first sight, love at first sight. Napoleon changed from his previous taciturnity, showing "a strong love that almost reached the point of madness", and determined to grow old with Josephine.Three months later, Napoleon and Josephine finally got married.

Just two days after the marriage, Napoleon was ordered to command the Italian army to get rid of Austrian rule, while Josephine stayed in Paris.Napoleon on the expedition missed his "goddess" very much.He wrote to his beloved wife every day lying in the trenches: "You fill me with a love for you that takes away my sanity - I will leave the army and run back to Paris to bow down to you under your feet”; “I am looking at your photos all the time, and my kisses are printed on your photos all the time.”…… Napoleon kept writing to Josephine, almost every day, and asked Josephine to come and meet.However, the "Endless Lovesickness and Myriad Loves" he sent disappeared without a word.Josephine always refused mercilessly, and even rarely wrote back.Ren Napoleon pleaded in the letter: "You know how happy your letter can bring me, but you don't want to write six lines to me hastily... I sleep and eat because I don't have your letter." Uneasy."

It didn't take long for Napoleon to hear that his new wife, Josephine, was having an affair in Paris.In his letter, he wrote bitterly: "You promised me tender and faithful love. What kind of emotion has it been smothered and crowded out? So that you have no time to show a little concern for your husband? My love. Request Write to me at once, a letter full of tenderness..." Regrettably, Josephine still went her own way and cherished words like life.It was not until Napoleon returned home after the end of his campaign that Josephine rushed to greet him, but because he went the wrong way, he passed by Napoleon's triumphant team.When Josephine returned home, Napoleon did not "hold her tightly in his arms, and kiss her a thousand times with the same passion as the sun on the equator", but refused to meet her.After Josephine's son (born to her ex-husband) pleaded repeatedly, and she herself tearfully reviewed herself, Napoleon forgave her.

In May 1804, Napoleon was proclaimed the first emperor of the French Empire, and he invited the Pope to crown him.At this time, Josephine quietly found the Pope and told him her worries about marriage.She begged the Pope to intervene to secure her marriage and make herself Empress of the French Empire. Napoleon's family has never accepted Josephine, and they even told Napoleon about her debauchery, and Napoleon was furious.And Josephine wept, heartbroken.Napoleon forgave his wife with a sigh, and finally put on the queen's crown for her, but his loyalty never came back. On the day of the ceremony, Emperor Napoleon wore a red velvet tunic, an embroidered cape, and a diamond-encrusted medallion.On the other hand, Josephine is full of spring breeze, elegant and charming.Wearing a gorgeous white satin gown and a queen's laurel crown inlaid with precious pearls and diamonds, she got her wish.

Soon after, however, Napoleon sealed off the passage between him and the Queen's bedroom. In 1809, in the inner room of the Tuileries Palace, he demanded that the marriage be terminated on the grounds of political and national needs.He approached Josephine, took her hand and pressed it to his chest, stared at it for a moment and said, "My dear Josephine! You know I loved you once, and the only moments of happiness I have had in this world are You gave it to me alone. However, my destiny is higher than my will, and my most precious love must give way to the interests of France." Josephine fell to the ground, crying in despair... December 16 of the same year , Napoleon and Josephine officially divorced.

After the divorce, history seems to go in a cycle.Josephine lives alone in Malmaison, and her only spiritual sustenance every day is to keep writing letters to Napoleon, expressing how much she loves and misses him.However, what Napoleon replied to her was the indifference and indifference she gave him in the past. Josephine wrote in the letter: "I know that it is with great pain that I write these letters, and the reason for the pain is that I have not received a single word from you." It's really full of painful words, full of sad tears.However, the lack of cherishing and betrayal at the beginning, missed and lost, is destined to be the loneliness and sorrow of "this feeling is only to be remembered, who taught you to act recklessly at that time".

The changes their relationship goes through is interesting.In the early days, Josephine responded to Napoleon's fiery love with indifference and indiscretion, which made Napoleon's enthusiasm and love for her gradually calm and indifferent.A few years later, when it was her turn to pursue love, it was too late. Someone commented: "Life is changeable, and encounters are impermanent. But to play with the most precious thing in life: love, to play with life, is really smart and almost a fool." On April 6, 1814, Napoleon abdicated. Josephine died on May 29, 1814, just days before the restored king was to summon her.

According to the biography, the queen was a vassal of power, and after the fall of the emperor, she was received by the Bourbon dynasty as a victim, and quickly conquered the Russian tsar and other Napoleon's enemies. After learning the news of Josephine's death, Napoleon in exile was so shocked that he didn't step out of his room for two days.His final comment on Josephine, written as if she were still alive: "I don't pass a day that I don't love you, I don't pass a night that I don't hold you in my arms . . . My love so deep has won more infatuation, fanaticism and docility... death cannot separate us."

They know each other best. Insights on life: "If you cry because you missed the sun, you will miss the stars too." Life is a process of experience and learning. Only after experiencing the pain of loss can you know how to cherish, but the past will never come again, this is growth the price.Cherish what you have now, be grateful for everything, and only in this way can you gain calmness and elegance. In everyone's life, you will meet many people, with various personalities, and various people. How many of them are your bosom friends?About a few people who love themselves deeply?How many are you deeply in love with?It is better to cherish the people in front of you than to seek thousands of times in the crowd.
