The officials, hearing that the Crown Prince was willing to take charge for them, hesitated no longer. They eagerly rushed to nod their heads and said, "We trust Your Highness completely, and we will follow your lead."
"Yes, yes! We are willing to undergo investigation to prove our innocence."
"Praise be to you, Your Noble Highness the Crown Prince. You have given us life."
Joseph raised his hand to signal for silence and casually mentioned, "Speaking of which, His Majesty the King has just established a 'Royal School of Administrative Management.' During the period of your suspension, why not take some courses there? Study some management and sociology; you'll also be able to stay in Paris and keep up with any news regarding the investigation."
The officials exchanged surprised glances, uncertain of what the Crown Prince meant, but if it could rid them of their troubles, what's the harm in spending some time at the college?
Therefore, the group of them quickly nodded and bowed, agreeing to the proposal.
Soon, the officials who had been exposed heard the news and felt as if they had been granted a reprieve, immediately rushing to the Crown Prince for rescue—some even had sought out Queen Mary before, but the Queen, not fully grasping the situation, had directed them all to Brian. This meant that the Crown Prince was their only "lifeline" at the moment.
However, the Crown Prince had left the Palace of Versailles, and no one could ascertain his whereabouts.
The anxious officials, having learned from their colleagues with "successful experiences" that the Prince had mentioned something about a college course, could not find the Crown Prince. In their desperation, they turned to the Church to inquire about the "Administration College."
Then the Royal School of Administrative Management, which was still under construction, received nearly a hundred applications for enrollment from senior officials, and some even d funds for the establishment of the school.
Of course, there were also many officials involved who clung to a sliver of hope, feeling that the Royal Family wouldn't deal with so many officials all at once, so they maintained a wait-and-see attitude.
Three days later, the first Paris Police Inspection Ceremony took place solemnly at the Champs-Elysees Plaza in Paris.
Her Majesty the Queen graced the event with her presence, but the inspection was presided over by His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, who had been the main driving force behind the police reform.
With the newspapers' vehement propaganda, the public's attention had gradually shifted from the trial of corrupt officials to the inspection ceremony.
Thousands of citizens gathered on both sides of the Champs-Elysees, and after a series of salutes from the cannons, solemn and respectful music sounded.
After that, people saw His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, dressed in a blue police uniform, standing in a carriage that passed through the center of the plaza.
Behind him were more than a dozen tall flagbearers, each holding the royal golden fleur-de-lis banner, and police ensign flags adorned with the fleur-de-lis and swords and shields.
Following them were four 4-pound cannons drawn by over a dozen horses. The cannon muzzles reflected the sunlight, dazzling the onlookers to the point of squinting their eyes.
After the cannons passed, squares formed by five Paris Police squads marched in. Each square comprised 150 men, all carrying brand-new flintlock guns, with crisp uniforms emanating an aura of stern order.
As the neatly arranged police squares marched past where Queen Mary stood, they immediately let out resounding cheers of "Long live His Majesty the King," "Long live Her Majesty the Queen," and "We swear to protect France's public order till death."
And Queen Mary also rose and waved with a smile.
After the five police squares passed the viewing stand, they took their positions on the plaza. Following a loud command from an officer, one square quickly formed into a semi-encirclement, simulating an offensive against gang members.
The police moved neatly and adeptly, pointing their flintlock guns straight ahead before pulling the triggers.
A burst of black smoke enveloped the square, startling the onlookers, but they quickly realized the guns were not loaded with bullets and then burst into applause, praising the police for their impressive demonstration.
After five squadrons of police had demonstrated various training exercises, even the cannons performed simulated firings, of course without any cannonballs loaded.
The five or six hundred nobles seated in the stands, listening to the deafening roar of the cannons, fell into silence. Many of them were officials implicated in the corruption case, and now, watching the various displays of police force, they couldn't help but feel a surge of thoughts.
This was just the Paris Police that could be mobilized at any time, sufficient to calm down those with other ideas immediately, and behind them, there was an even more powerful and completely loyal to the Royal Family Royal Guard Corps.
The villas in the previous "Royal Palace Gardens" neighborhood had already sold for 70,000 livres each, and houses with the addition of gas street lighting must sell for at least 100,000 livres.
1. Hire from local academic centers and the capital's national universities
2. Start from minor bureaucratic positions and work up
3. Purchase of office [in certain periods] and networking [throughout history]
4. Appointed by the Emperor's decree [a very rare situation because it undoubtedly disrupts the internal workings of the bureaucratic circles]
The selection and appointment of inspectors under the Prime Minister is also extremely important; they are the important assistants through which the Emperor controls and grasps the imperial bureaucracy and the cradle for promoting central and local officials.
Vacation. Use Church. Civil servants can temporarily handle political affairs and submit matters to Paris for decision.
The Electoral Prince of Palatinate inherited Palatinate and Bavaria from the Palatinate-Sulzbach branch
The British have agreed to sell out Paul, confirming the possibility that Paul might flee.
Chalmers was furious and prepared to invest in election candidates like Girolamo, bypassing Paul.
The uprising in Cargèse was urgently called off by a double agent, only to find a large contingent of French troops ambushed in advance, "it must have been Paul who leaked it." Rumors spread that Paul committed rape, causing his personal image to collapse. Bribed Paul's assistant, found the entire scheme of communications with the Dutch-French Government in Paul's room, confirming the purchase of tickets to the United States.
Unexpectedly, the disturbance caused by Perna actually facilitated the smooth withdrawal of troops. According to her contribution, it would not be excessive to award her a medal.
