Elysée Palace, Office of the President.
“Immediately deploy additional security forces to guard every bridge leading to the Ile de la Cité. Protesters must not be allowed to enter the Ile de la Cité or the Avenue de Champignon!
In addition, we must also strengthen patrols on the surface and bottom of the Seine River to prevent anyone from making a fuss on the Seine River, taking a boat or diving, and sneaking into the Île de la Cité, which will be a big trouble!
These historical documents are too important to be lost. We must try our best to prevent that **** Steven from taking away these documents.
Now everyone knows that these documents are the history of France. They can only stay in France and must not leave the country, otherwise I will not be able to explain it to all the citizens! "
The French president said through gritted teeth, his tone extremely urgent.
As soon as he finished speaking, someone stood up and responded:
"Okay, sir, I will contact the Paris police immediately and ask them to send additional security forces!"
After finishing speaking, this person took action.
Meanwhile, exploration continues.
"Pa"
Another rusty padlock was cut, and another red sandalwood box was opened by Ye Tian.
This is already the sixth box he has opened. The Napoleon Chronicles composed of these boxes in the secret room, the timeline also comes to 1804!
The five boxes opened before, each filled with historical documents, brought huge surprises to Ye Tian and shocked everyone at the live broadcast again and again!
Those secret documents show people another side of the French Revolution. Many of them have never been known to the public. This is the first time they have appeared in front of the world!
At the same time, those documents also revealed Napoleon's success trajectory!
How he went from an ordinary officer from Corsica to rising up like a rocket in just a few years until he ruled the world and became the ruler of France!
All of this is reflected in those documents!
This is the sixth box. I don’t know what surprises this box will bring.
Whether it was Martinez and the others at the scene or the countless viewers on the live broadcast, everyone was staring closely at this box, their eyes were extremely hot!
Under the gaze of countless eyes, Ye Tian gently peeled off the last layer of moisture-proof oil paper, and what was covered under the oil paper appeared in front of everyone!
Different from the previous times, this time it was not a bulging brown paper bag filled with literature, but two identical large books, lying quietly on the top floor of the box!
These are two elegantly bound books. There is no text on the blue velvet cover embroidered with lace. There is only a logo of the First French Empire embroidered in the center of the cover, which is very eye-catching!
Due to the erosion of time and the influence of the environment, the blue velvet on the book cover has faded somewhat, and the paper under the cover has also turned yellow, which can be seen from the edges!
Generally speaking, these two books are still quite well preserved. After all, they have been sleeping in the darkness for more than two hundred years, so we can’t ask for too much!
After quickly glancing at the covers of the two books, Ye Tian reached out and gently opened the blue velvet cover of one of the books.
The title of this large French book finally appeared in front of everyone.
At this moment, everyone in the underground secret room and the live broadcast was suddenly stunned, including Ye Tian himself, but he was just performing!
People looked at these two books in stunned silence, as if they couldn't believe their eyes, and wondered if they were dazzled!
Especially many historians and some top antique art appraisal experts, everyone’s eyes were so wide that they almost flew out!
The scene was quiet for about two or three seconds before Martinez's distraught voice reached Ye Tian's ears.
"Oh my God! This is the Napoleonic Code! It seems to be the original version in 1804 and has not been released to the public. If so, then this is absolutely a priceless treasure!"
With Martinez’s words, everyone at the scene and on the live broadcast was awakened.
The next moment, exclamations started to sound like a volcano erupting crazily everywhere.
“Go! It’s actually the Napoleonic Code, the earliest civil law code in capitalist countries and the legislative norm for all capitalist countries in the world.”
"Martinez is right. This is the original version of the Napoleonic Code. It is very different from subsequent versions. I have only heard of it in the past, but never seen it. Today is an eye-opener!
In comparison, this is much more refined than the first edition of the Napoleonic Code displayed at the French National Library, and it is also much thicker. It obviously contains more content than that version! "
While people were exclaiming crazily, Ye Tian reached out and took out a copy of "Code Napoleon" from the box, then held it in his hand and started admiring it.
Seeing his action, the hearts of Martinez and Antoine at the scene, as well as many French people on the live broadcast, were instantly raised to their throats, and they were so nervous that they did not even dare to express themselves!
"Stephen, you must be careful. If this is really the original version of the Napoleonic Code that has never been released publicly, it is absolutely priceless and a well-deserved French national treasure. There is no room for loss!"
Antoine said excitedly, his voice trembling with great caution.
His eyes were already red, staring closely at the "Code Napoleon" in Ye Tian's hand, his eyes extremely hot, without even blinking,
As a lawyer, he knows very well what the "Code Napoleon" means. It is the basis for his survival. He is the bread of the law!
What’s more, this is the legendary and extremely rare original version of the Napoleonic Code, a truly priceless treasure!
Ye Tian turned his head and looked at the nervous Antoine and Martinez, then said with a smile:
"Don't worry, my hands are very steady and I have never dropped any antique artwork, and today is no exception. This "Code Napoleon" is very safe in my hands.
Although I am not a law student, I know the Napoleonic Code very well. I have also heard of the original version of the Napoleonic Code and know how valuable it is!
What Napoleon was most proud of in his life was the "Code Napoleon", not just his status as the French emperor, but his outstanding military talent. This shows how precious this code is! "
Hearing this, Martinez, Antoine, and many French people on the live broadcast couldn't help but let out a sigh of relief and relaxed a little!
After a pause, Ye Tian continued:
"As far as I know, there are many differences between the original Napoleonic Code and the version that was officially promulgated later. The biggest difference lies in the preamble of the code.
The "Code Napoleon" consists of a preface and three main parts. The preamble has only 6 articles, which are mainly general provisions about the effective time of the Code and the application of the Code.
When the legal experts headed by Portalis drafted the Code, there were 39 articles in the preamble. When the Napoleonic Code was officially promulgated and implemented, only 6 of them remained.
The remaining 33 articles were deleted because they reflected more 'doctrinal opinions' and 'philosophical beliefs' rather than legislation in the strict sense.
It is said that the preamble of the original "Code Napoleon" completely preserved the 39 articles at the time of drafting, but unfortunately, this version of the "Code Napoleon" was not promulgated and implemented!
On March 21, 1804, Napoleon signed a decree and it was officially promulgated and implemented in the name of the French Civil Code. It was not until 1807 that the Civil Code was renamed the Napoleonic Code.
After the "French Civil Code" was officially promulgated and implemented, the original version of the "Code Napoleon", which had a very small print run, was intensively destroyed by the French government, and very few of it have been circulated in the world.
In modern times, the original version of the "Code Napoleon" only exists in legends, and almost no one has seen it. What is unexpected is that there are actually two copies hidden here.
Whether the two codes before us are the original versions of the "Napoleonic Code", we only need to open them and read the contents of the preamble to get the most accurate answer.
Martinez and Antoine, let's open these two "Code Napoleon" together to see if they are the original versions and whether they can bring us a huge surprise! "
Faced with such an invitation, how could Martinez and Antoine refuse, and how could they be willing to refuse!
These two guys seemed to have suddenly become dozens of years younger. They rushed to Ye Tian's side in a flash. Their skills were so strong that they even shocked Ye Tian.
Immediately afterwards, Martinez carefully picked up the other "Code Napoleon" from the box as if he was holding his beloved one.
Antoine stared closely at the one in Ye Tian's hand, his eyes so hot that he almost drooled!
Ye Tian looked at these two guys, then said with a smile:
"Let's open these two "Napoleonic Codes" and take a look at the contents of the preface. I hope they will bring a huge surprise!"
As he spoke, Ye Tian opened the code in his hand and looked at the preamble of this most famous and earliest bourgeois civil law code!
At the same time, Martinez also opened the code in his hand with his slightly trembling right hand and looked at the preface!
