French Rhapsody

The Marseillaise was played in the square and the tricolor flag was flying. Louis Capet, the former King of France and now the first President of the French Republic, stood on the high platform in the center of the square with his head held high. Standing behind him were a number of senior officials of the French Republic, including Foreign Minister Talleyrand, Defense Minister Dumouriez, National Guard Commander-in-Chief Lafayette, Attorney General Robespierre, Police Inspector General Fouche and Legislative Assembly President Danton. And First Lady Marie Antoinette. Citizens and soldiers gathered under the high platform, cheering like thunder. "Long live the Republic!" "Long live France!" Louis Capet shouted: "We invite General Napoleon Bonaparte." A Corsican of medium height stepped onto the high platform and gave a military salute. "General, in recognition of your merits, I grant you the rank of marshal." Louis Capet announced. Napoleon said excitedly: "Mr. President, this is all thanks to your wise leadership." Louis Capet personally put the ribbon on Napoleon and pinned it on the marshal's badge. Amid the cheers of the people, Louis Capet and Napoleon smiled at each other. Napoleon looked at Louis Capet with a look full of admiration, and Louis Capet looked at Napoleon with a look that contained somewhat complicated emotions. Louis Capet thought to himself: Sorry, in order to save my life, I, who traveled from the 21st century, robbed you of your role in history; however, history is not a script written in advance, but is the intertwined product of countless individual choices. I come, I see, I change, there is nothing wrong with this, right? Thinking of this, he finally smiled happily.
