"Hey" A sigh rang out in William's room, not knowing what it was sighing or mourning.
In Vienna, when Joseph II learned of the riots in Paris, France, he was worried.
Although Joseph II did not need to raise taxes to cover the deficit in the domestic finances, thanks to the centuries-old treasures of the Habsburgs, and the efforts of the Habsburg royal family and the zhèngfu did not cause large-scale problems in the Austrian treasury.
But through the riots in Paris, Joseph II saw something deep.
He saw the ambition of a whole class for state power, and he saw the powerful agitation of this class among the people.
As in France, there was also a large capitalist class in Austria through trade with the countries bordering the Mediterranean, and unlike France, because Joseph II's rule was more enlightened, the capitalists did not try to gain state power by drastic means, as their French counterparts did.
But not now does not mean that there will never be again, Joseph II's heart quietly became vigilant, but at this moment "Ahem, cough, cough" A series of coughing sound made Joseph II's waist bend down, he quickly took out a handkerchief to cover his mouth, after slowly calming down the cough, Joseph II picked up the handkerchief and looked at it, only to see the blood stained on it vividly, seeing this scene, Joseph II smiled bitterly.
As an enlightened and diligent monarch, Joseph II had a full schedule every day.
As a result, the emperor did not even have much time to rest, and Joseph II often felt dizzy after a long period of hard work.
But in order to be able to devote all his strength to state affairs, Joseph II chose to hide it secretly.
After regaining his senses, Joseph II felt the need to consult with Prime Minister Kautz about what was happening in Paris, France, after all, as the strongest state around Austria, the Bourbons had always been the most important and important opponent of the Habsburg Empire!
Although the relationship between the two sides has improved somewhat with Mary's sake, there is no friendship between the two countries.
Just when Joseph II summoned Kaunitz.
The Grand Steward of the Habsburg Dynasty was also frowning at the information in his hand, which came from the same person as Joseph II, because of Kaunitz's unique position in Austria.
So in general, when something gets into the hands of Joseph II, then the prime minister will get another copy of the same.
After finishing, Kaunitz looked up at the scenery to the right.
The left hand tapped the table one by one.
Those who are in regular contact with Kanitz will know that the old prime minister's actions represent that he is thinking intensely, and every time the old prime minister stops banging on the table, it means that His Excellency Kaunitz has made a decision on something.
While Kaunitz was still banging on the table, there was a knock on the door to his room "Come in" Kaunitz stopped tapping on the table, but the dissatisfaction on his face was revealed, and it was clear that the prime minister had not yet made a decision on the matter, and was interrupted whenever he was thinking.
The impatience in my heart can be imagined.
"Your Excellency, His Majesty Emperor Joseph II has sent someone to invite you to the Imperial Palace."
"Hmm.
I see, you should come and wait a while, I'll be there later!
” With that, Kaunitz waved his hand to the attendants to retreat, and the number of people in the whole of Austria who could keep Joseph II's envoys waiting could be counted on one hand, and Kaunitz was probably the first of them.
When Kaunitz arrived at the palace, he found that Archduke Leopold had also arrived at the palace, and when he inquired, Kaunitz learned that Leopold had been invited by Joseph II.
"Hello, Lord Kautz!"
"Leopold, how are you!"
After a brief greeting, the two were ushered into Joseph II's study by the royal chamberlain.
"Lord Kautz, Leopold, you are here, this is for you" Seeing Kaunitz and Leopold enter, and before they could salute, Joseph II hurried up to them and handed them information about Paris, France.
After reading the information, as Joseph II expected, Kaunitz was still calm, as if he had seen nothing and nothing had happened, while Archduke Leopold was obviously out of shape, and his mouth opened wide to show the surprise in his heart In the royal palace located in the city of Paris (that is, the Louvre, which became famous for later generations "Your Royal Highness, the criminals in the Bastille are overcrowded, even in the prisons of the city of Paris, so I think it is necessary for us to try a group of criminals who have committed serious crimes, Your Highness the Queen!"
Marie was once again shocked by Napoleon's words, and with the issuance of Louis XVI's order to raise taxes, not only Paris, but now all of France was on the edge of the volcano, and if the rioters arrested in the riots were to be tried at this time, the riots that had just been quelled would surely be repeated.
"No, Napoleon, I disagree with you this time, and I do not want the situation that has just calmed down to erupt again with your trial, and this time the riots in Paris have greatly traumatized the whole of France, and I cannot tolerate such a situation again."
Napoleon was a little surprised to see Mary's unexpected proposal to him, but after a little thought, he also understood the mystery of why Mary did not agree, but he did not give up, he tried to get Mary to agree to his proposal "Your Royal Highness, what you said is not wrong, but please forgive me, even if you forgive those thugs, those thugs will not be grateful to you from the bottom of their hearts, not to mention, those thugs are in danger every day, once they are given the opportunity, they will still stand on the opposite side of the royal family, so I think for these stubborn people" "Napoleon, you don't need to say, I have made up my mind, if I can make some of them realize their mistakes, then the royal family will not be mean to their own people" Seeing that Napoleon was going to say more, Mary frowned and said: "I'm tired and need to rest, you can go down first!"
With that, Marie turned and headed for her bedroom, and Napoleon reluctantly shook her fist and left the room.
To be continued. ）
