It took Robespierre a night to prepare a speech and wrote the names of Fouche and more than a dozen members of parliament who had secret contact with Fouche on the speech. These people are those who will be deprived of their membership and pushed to the guillotine tomorrow morning.

After preparing all this, Robespierre went to bed to rest. These days, he was not in good health due to anxiety and quarrels with his own people, and sometimes he coughed severely. Robespierre found several reliable doctors to see a doctor, and they all said that Robespierre's problem was due to lack of rest. If he could rest well and cooperate with the prescriptions they prescribed, he would definitely get better. But how could Robespierre rest at this time? Fortunately, tomorrow is the most critical decisive battle. After tomorrow, he might be able to have a good rest.

Also on this night, Fouchy was visiting the members of the parliament one by one. There were not more than a dozen members who had secretly interacted with him, but almost all members except Robespierre and his most loyal followers. During these days, he told them that the "Mr. Moon Decree" was prepared for them; told them that in the past month, Robespierre had cut off more people than in the past year, and it would not take long to cut them to the place; told them that Paris's food supply could not support the current economic policy at all, and that unless they were cut down and their property was confiscated, Paris would go bankrupt soon.

Every member of the parliament listened to Fouchy's words in fear and was scared to death. They were all old politicians who had been stormy. Of course, they knew that Fouchy's words "you are on the next list" were mostly scaring people; but because of their rich experience, they also knew that "the food supply in Paris could no longer be supported" was true; they also knew that in this case, cutting off a group of people's heads and confiscating their assets, nowadays, is almost the only possible way for Robespierre to survive the crisis.

And they also know that the gap between Paris and other provinces is now and how serious the food shortage in Paris is, the former determines that food shortage is not a short-term phenomenon, while the latter means that there will definitely be a lot of people who must be cut down.

Maybe he is not on what Fuchsie said about the "next list", but as long as he is rational, he must know how high his chances of being on a certain list.

"The final battle will be soon!" When saying goodbye to every member of parliament, Fouche would use this sentence as a farewell.

The next morning, Robespierre, accompanied by Saint Just, came to the National Assembly.

Robespierre first applied to the Chairman for a speech, and the application was naturally approved. Robespierre walked onto the podium. He was still wearing a sky blue top, accompanied by white stockings, and holding a large roll of paper in his hand. That was his speech.

Robespierre stood on the podium, and he picked up the large roll of paper, just like a Roman judge picked up *** (here is the original meaning, which refers to one of the Roman judges' ceremonial guards. The shape is a stick with an axe inserted in the middle).

He glanced at the MPs present, and everyone was timidly dodging his eyes. Robespierre gradually unfolded the roll of paper in his hand, and all his eyes focused on the roll of paper. Everyone knew that as long as anyone's name appeared on that piece of paper, it was equivalent to getting the invitation from the guillotine.

Robespierre noticed that Fouchey was not present. Fouchey's eloquence was not particularly good, at least, compared with the members of the National Assembly, it was not good. His talent was more reflected in various secret activities. Fouchey always avoided participating in such public activities. Even if he had to participate, he would definitely hide in an unobtrusive corner.

Robespierre began to give a speech, and his speech was quite lengthy. If it were someone who had nothing to do, he would probably doze off when he listened there. It was like when he gave a speech on the Supreme Lord's Day (the so-called "Reasonable Festival" created during the Revolution) when a large number of listeners fell asleep.

But this time, everyone was listening to what he said. Robespierre talked about the grim situation at home and abroad, and about the conspiracy that some revolutionary traitors are now engaged in. Finally, he said that he had already grasped a list of traitors from the Republic. These traitors from the motherland followed a shameful venomous snake and were doing an invasion of the Republic. Speaking of this, he paused for a moment so that the members of the parliament below could feel the taste of fear.

All eyes were concentrated on Robespierre, but Robespierre saw something different from before from these eyes. In those eyes, in addition to fear, there was also despair and madness.

"So, who is that poisonous snake?" Suddenly, a man asked in a trembling voice. The man was Burton de Novac. One night a few days ago, Fouche had visited him.

"Yes, who is that poisonous snake? Tell me the name!" more people shouted.

The performance of the MPs made Robespierre suddenly realize that he had made something wrong. There were not ten or twenty people who colluded with Fouche, but almost the entire National Assembly. At this time, if he said the name "Fouche", it would be equivalent to announcing that he would send almost all members of Congress to the guillotine at the same time.

Theoretically, the National Assembly is the highest authority. All its power comes from the authorization of the National Assembly. Of course, if the Paris Commune is still as strong and firm as Ebert and himself were allies, the National Assembly is really nothing. But now, does he really have the power to send the entire National Assembly to the guillotine?

Robespierre immediately judged that he would never say Fouche's name at this time, otherwise, the entire National Assembly, almost all members of the parliament, would immediately stand on the opposite side of themselves.

"The reconnaissance is not over yet, and I cannot name his name for the time being." Robespierre replied.

"Speak his name!" people were still shouting.

"Why do you need to reconnaissance? Isn't it just necessary to have doubts and inference?" Talian shouted, "Don't avoid it, Robespierre, who is the person you are talking about?"

"Is it Fouche?" Balas suddenly spoke coldly.

The sound was like a cold wind blowing from hell, blowing everyone's hearts to freeze.

"Is it Fouche?" asked Barras, "Robespierre, tell us, is it Fouche?"

"I said, I can't..." Robespierre tried his best to maintain his majesty, but at this time, he suddenly couldn't catch it in one breath, and he started coughing violently.

"Tyrant, it's Dandong's blood, choked your throat!" someone suddenly shouted in the crowd.

By this time, everyone in the parliament understood that their break and decisive battle with Robespierre had been inevitable.

Saint Just shouted, "Please listen to me..."

But now no one will give him a chance to speak again, and Barras shouted: "Down with the tyrant!"

Almost all the members of the parliament yelled: "Get the tyrant!"

Saint Just tried to take Robespierre away, but everyone stopped them.

"I accuse! Robespierre and Saint Just committed crimes of betraying the Republic and conspiring to restore the feudal system!" In the crowd, no one shouted.

"Let's vote!" Barras rushed to the podium, "Everyone raises his hands to vote, raises his hands to vote! Robespierre and Saint Just betrayed the revolution and tried to restore the feudal system!"

While shouting, Balas took the lead in raising his hand.

More hands were raised, and finally, almost everyone raised their hands.

Facing his forest-like arms, Balas shouted: "Passed!Passed!"

"Corrested them and put them in jail!" more people shouted.

People will be scared by Robespierre a moment before, but in a blink of an eye, the person who made them frightened suddenly became prisoners, which made everyone feel as if they were dreaming.

It was almost an hour later that Fouchey learned that such a thing had happened in the parliament. The nightmare that had been hanging over his head was also imprisoned. The Revolutionary Court would trial him early tomorrow morning and then push him to the guillotine.

"Which prison?" Fouche asked.

"It is the Andom Prison closest to Parliament." The person who told Fouchy replied.

"Not good! The garrison of this prison is quite weak, and Robespierre's best friend will..." Fouche hurriedly said.

"That's right, we can catch them all in one go!" Another voice rang out. Fouche turned around and saw Barras and Kano coming over with great enthusiasm.

As they expected, Robespierre's best friend launched an attack on the prison, rescued Robespierre and Saint-Just, and fled to the town hall where the Paris Commune was located, and issued an order to the National Self-Defense Forces to come and defend the revolution.

However, in the whole of Paris, only two districts of the National Self-Defense Forces responded to the call and came to the near the town hall. On the contrary, more forces were concentrated on the National Assembly. Robespierre could only expect the National Self-Defense Forces in several districts farther away to respond to their call.

But at around 10 o'clock in the evening, no other troops had arrived, and they obviously would not have any reinforcements. So even the National Self-Defense Forces, which were originally concentrated near the city hall, began to disperse on their own.

At around 11 o'clock, the National Assembly's army began to siege the City Hall. At this time, the National Self-Defense Forces, which were still near the City Hall, did not fire a single shot and scattered. They even threw the cannons loaded with shells directly in place. The army loyal to the National Assembly simply used these cannons to open the gate of the City Hall.

Robespierre tried to commit suicide, but he was first hit by a soldier in the arm, causing him to miss the bullets shot into his head and hit his face. His face was beaten to pieces but he was not dead.
