At the beginning of the new year in 1810, Napoleon moved the political center of Paris from the Palazzo Duille to the Palace of Fontainebleau in the province of Seine-Marne in the Ile-de-France region.

At the beginning, most of the people accompanying the emperor were close attendants, plus a marquises who were famous for their beauty. Later, members of the imperial cabinet, royal court advisors, marshals and generals of each legion, speakers of the upper and lower houses, and leaders of the majority, etc. were ordered to rush to the Palace of Fontainebleau. The time was February 11, 1810, which was appropriately the day before the night of the killing of the Duke of Desay and General Savari.

The police minister was naturally an important member of the cabinet. Joseph Fouche also had to bring his family and entered the Palace of Fontainebleau on the night of the 11th. At first, Fouche did not doubt Napoleon's edict. Since ascending the throne in 1804, the powerful people in Paris knew that the emperor preferred the quiet and warm Palace of Fontainebleau, better than the noisy Duille Palace. Once the war ended and returned to Paris, Napoleon would choose to spend most of his work and life time in the Palace of Fontainebleau.

The police minister who always liked to flatter the emperor, did not like Napoleon to return to Paris in his heart. Whenever Napoleon left Paris without caring about state affairs, Fouche was the most comfortable. The farther Napoleon was away, the more satisfied Fouche was; the longer the time was, the more happy it was, and it was good to go to Austria, Spain, and Poland; it would be better if he went to Egypt again, and was unlucky to be captured by the British.

The protagonist attached to the emperor's head was too many and strong, which made the outstanding people around him, especially Foucher himself, overshadowed; the emperor's majesty was equally strong, enough to destroy the will of every strong person, and it was irresistible.

Therefore, before rushing to the Palace of Fontainebleau, the Minister of Police would convene his four main assistants, Tadieu (Secretary-General of the Police Department and Chief of the Paris Police), Lozel (Secretary-General of the French Southern District), Real (Secretary-General of the French Northern District), and De Marre (Secretary-General or Director) to hold a meeting to explain the work matters and how to deal with the crisis.

Obviously, the Duke of Desay successfully deceived the police minister with his performance of showing weakness. Although Tadieu and others still advised Fouche to stop when he saw the good, and to reach a compromise with the Duke of Desay as soon as possible, so as not to avoid the emperor hiding outside Paris to reap the benefits of the fisherman.

Fouche hated the great humiliation he had given to him before. After learning that General Savari began to send troops to support the Duke of Desai, he still ordered Demare to continue to "block" the Duke's mansion. If necessary, he could give the young duke a deep lesson. However, as part of the rules of the political game, the result of any action must not endanger the life and safety of the Duke of Desai himself.

On the second day after entering the Palace of Fontainebleau, Fouche found himself suffering an unprecedented cold reception. He actually waited in the lounge for more than two hours, but was never summoned by the emperor. In the court dance at night, the emperor refused to invite Mrs. Fouche as his second dance partner, but chose the ugly wife of the postal minister. On the third day, Fouche and his family's freedom of movement in the Palace of Fontainebleau was strictly restricted. To be precise, the police minister was unable to maintain communication with the Ministry of Police in Paris.

When news came that the Duke of Desay and General Savari joined forces to raid the gang forces, the police building, which lacked the backbone, was in chaos. At the urgent meeting, the secret police chief De Mare asked to mobilize all forces to launch a strong counterattack against the Paris military police and the Duke of Desay's residence, but encountered the Secretary-General who temporarily presided over the affairs of the Ministry of Police, Tadieu's firm opposition. The two police chiefs of the North and South regions, Lozeel and Real and the Secretary-General, remained consistent with the positions of the Secretary-General, and they also agreed to be the most important thing and oppose the aggressive plan.

After the unhappy meeting, De Mare decided to act alone, but the overall situation was decided at this time. Powell was killed and the clan was destroyed. Marius and others led their troops to surrender. Other gang forces in Paris were shocked by the thunder operations of the Military Intelligence Agency and the Gendarmerie, and completely cut off contact with De Mare. Even inside the secret police, most people also refused to use eggs to hit the rock.

On the afternoon of February 14, after learning that the Ministry of Police had announced that it had officially surrendered to the emperor's representative, General Savari, Demare quickly removed some of the fine materials before the military police arrested him, and suddenly disappeared without a trace.

The achievements of Fouche's painstaking management in Paris for nearly 10 years have almost been wiped out overnight.

...

Napoleon's main political activities in the Palace of Fontainebleau were basically in the magnificent and luxurious imperial hall. Except for the emperor's authority, no one or political group may use or borrow the imperial hall except Napoleon himself. The entire walls and ceiling of the hall were decorated with yellow, red and green gold leaves, and the floor was covered with painting carpets. The chandeliers were crystal clear and dazzling. The decoration was a collection of hundreds of years.

On the morning of February 15, in the Royal Hall of the Emperor, Fouche welcomed Napoleon's final judgment on himself.

The emperor who ended the mass (ironically, the decree of Pope Pius VII to eliminate Napoleon's title qualification was still in effect), invited Cabinet ministers, speakers of the two houses, major leaders, and commanders of the major legions who were on vacation in Paris to hold a meeting in the Imperial Hall. The police ministers who were notified to attend the meeting were still blocked in the lounge outside the Imperial Hall. Unlike in the past, Fouchey was arranged with two full-time entourages, the Emperor Guards officers.

At the beginning of the meeting, Napoleon asked everyone in a consultative tone, "A minister abused his power, and colluded with the gang forces behind his back, and had sex with foreign governments... What do you think of such ministers? What punishment does our code stipulate for such malfeasance?"

When the emperor raised this serious question, the generals and ministers had guessed who the target the emperor shot was. On the second day of the killing night in Paris, the entire Fontainebleau Palace knew that the emperor had attacked the police ministers. Some people were sympathizing with Fouchey's misfortune, which was because they had gained a lot of benefits from the police ministers; more people were secretly happy because they were extremely disgusted with Fouchey's behavior, especially the secret police always liked to inquire about the various disgraces of the powerful and used this as a threat.

But whether it is the powerful and powerful who sympathized with Fu Xie or the ministers who were happy that Fu Xie fell, everyone treated the emperor's questions silently. Everyone understood the principle of shooting the first bird, so they were too lazy to interfere in what the emperor had already decided on.

Talleyran sighed secretly that the unlucky man who lost his nature by money and power deserved this. In fact, Talleyran has repeatedly hinted that the police minister gave up his post, followed his wise move in 1807 and voluntarily resigned as soon as possible. Now, it's not a good feeling to be kicked off.

The emperor was very happy that no one defended Fouche, but he was still scolding someone angrily and angryly in his words and deeds. Until the Chief Minister of State, Conbasseres, who helped the emperor solve the problem, stood up and suggested on behalf of everyone that according to the Imperial Code, the position of "that person" must be removed from the position of "that person". The Chief Minister of State also suggested to the emperor that the loyal General Savari of Paris could be replaced by the resigned Fouche and assumed the position of police minister.

Conbassés' "advice" was praised by Napoleon. Five minutes later, the advice of the Minister of State was issued as an emperor's pardon and sent to the two parties: Fouche and Savari, and informed all the French people.

Paris citizens responded unpredictably to this, and the political passion of the revolutionary capital had long been shattered by rising prices. Before the emperor ascended the throne, the price of meat in Paris was only about 0.55 francs per pound. By the New Year of 1810, the price of meat increased to 1.5 francs, nearly three times. At the same time, the average wages in all walks of life in Paris increased by only 1.8 times. Before ascending the throne, Napoleon solemnly promised that he would give ordinary French people a happy life, which became a complete lie.

In fact, before the emperor's official appointment letter had left the Palace of Fontainebleau, General Savari had set off to rush to the police department building. With the secret order given to him by the emperor, he accepted the surrender of Tadieu and others and successfully accepted the police department.

After Fouche, after resigning, he was forced to leave France, leave his wife and children, and go to a remote province (newly established) between Italy and Austria. Someone once suggested that the emperor drive Fouche to death, but Napoleon refused, but he agreed to General Savari to send people to closely monitor the former police minister.

...

Perhaps because of his different position, Desai did not like Napoleon's treatment of powerful officials, and he was more steady and less likely to enter. In the former Portuguese-Month coup, General Bonaparte, who temporarily served as the commander of the Paris garrison, was so energetic that in the face of the crazy attacks of thousands of royalist thugs, a few grape bullets solved all the battles and made him famous for his lifetime.

Now, Napoleon, who was sitting on the throne of the emperor, became hesitant. In Desai's view, it only takes a pardon to make the police minister completely get out. At worst, there will be a small and medium-sized turmoil in Paris, but he has to secretly instruct Savari to fight with Furcher, and finally involve himself.

What made the Duke of Desay particularly dissatisfied was that even after he agreed to assist the commander of the Paris military police and secretly encircled Fouche's underground forces in Paris, Napoleon was still showing special stinginess and gave the Desay Division 8 million francs military expenses. After the emperor bargained, he only agreed to half of it, and paid it in three times. As for the other half, the Desay Division needed to continue to carry forward the fine tradition of French soldiers, go to Portugal to raise it, or find the King of Spain, His Majesty Joseph to ask for it.

The day after the killing night, the Duke of Desay was wiped out, which was a gift list given to him by Captain Penduath. Last night, the results of the five commandos of the Military Intelligence Agency could not completely eliminate the armed forces of the largest gangsters in Paris, and they also seized more than 8 million francs of cash and equivalent securities.

According to the combat agreement reached with General Savari, the various cash or equivalent securities obtained from the above-mentioned bandit suppression were classified as freely controlled by the Duke of Desay. However, the casinos, brothels, docks, car shops, etc. in various blocks of Paris, and many real estate, can only be left to the commander of the Paris military police, or other Parisian powerful people. The Duke of Hruna also knew in his heart that he should not be too ugly to eat, and that equal benefits would be the king of long-term stability.
