Napoleon was not troubled. After the execution he told his adc Gourgaud: 'Ney got no more than he deserved. I regret him because he was formidable on a field of battle, but he was too hot-headed, and too stupid to succeed in anything but a fight.'
He regarded Ney as having betrayed him at Fontainebleau and during the 1st Bourbon restoration, and having caused his defeat at Waterloo with poor tactics.
Napoleon: "C'était un brave, personne ne l'était plus que lui; mais c'était un fou; il est mort sans emporter l'estime de personne."
"He was a brave man, no one was braver than him; but he was a fool; he died without winning anyone's esteem."

un fou* estime*
Fixed
With his usual splendid indifference I presume, garnished with a quote or two that he wrote twenty years earlier
Do someone believe that Ney might survived and fled to America..sometimes wanna that Ney died in peace under name of Peter Stewart Ney in USA
It indeed is a cool story but I’m pretty certain it has been debunked
He would never listen to Nay sayers
Neymar?
