Looking at Leopold with a hideous look in front of him, although Kaunitz did not want to get involved in the internal disputes of the Habsburg family, but at this moment Leopold has become the leader of Austria, although His Royal Highness has not yet carried out the coronation ceremony, but at this moment everyone is shouting Your Majesty when they see Leopold.
"Your Majesty, as you wish!"
Kanitz took up this errand, in fact, in Kaunitz's mind he had a thousand ways to get to Maximilian and die, and the key was whether he wanted to or not.
In the afternoon, the impeachment of Maximilian flew into the Vienna Imperial Palace like snowflakes, and many of the ministers took out evidence with considerable sentences to accuse Maximilian of being arrogant and conspiracy.
But none of this was fatal, and it was impossible to put Maximilian to death when dealing with a member of the royal family who held a certain amount of power, especially if he was a very important prince within the empire.
But anyone who cares knows that this is just the beginning, and Kaunitz's even more fierce attack is coming.
After seeing off the envoy from Vienna, Brandenburg once again welcomed an uninvited guest, who was none other than Lord Richard, who was under Maximilian.
Looking at the tall city walls close at hand, Richard stopped, the majesty of Brandenburg is even counted in the whole of Europe, since the Hohenzollern family took over Brandenburg, successive Hohenzollern monarchs have regarded the restoration of Brandenburg as an annual task to complete.
And it turned out that Brandenburg was worthy of the efforts of its rulers, and its geographical location doomed him to be enemies on all sides.
The ancestors of the Hohenzollern family relied on the solidity and majesty of Brandenburg to resist waves of invaders, and it was also the solidity of Brandenburg that allowed successive monarchs to have no worries when expanding their territory.
As a reliant retainer on Maximilian, Richard's insight was not narrow, on the contrary, Richard studied the history of European countries, and from the age of seventeen.
He left Cologne and traveled from west to east, south to north, almost all of Europe, and his travels broadened his horizons and mind, so that he quickly gained Maximilian's appreciation after returning to Cologne.
But Richard had to admit that Brandenburg was indeed one of the most special places he had ever seen, first of all, Brandenburg did not have the splendor and romance of Paris, and at the same time, Brandenburg did not have the splendor of Vienna.
Secondly, compared with St.
Petersburg, Brandenburg has a little less domineering, and compared with London, Brandenburg has less of a sense of luxury.
It was just like this, Brandenburg, under the leadership of the Hohenzollern family, went from a count's territory to the pinnacle of Europe.
After being stunned at the city gate for a while, Richard puffed up his chest and strode towards the most prosperous part of the city, but what Richard didn't pay attention to.
Behind him there were a few tails hanging far away, apparently watching Richard.
"Lord Hans, Richard, the staff of the Elector of Cologne, has entered Brandenburg" "Well, I see, remember to keep everyone hidden without my orders, and don't let Richard find out who you are!"
"No!"
One of Hans's spy leaders bowed respectfully to Hans and left the room.
Hans sat still in a daze.
As an important prince within the empire, Maximilian, Elector of Cologne, and his retainers had always been the focus of Prussian intelligence, but until then because of the hostile relationship between Prussia and Austria.
As a member of the Habsburg family, Maximilian had almost no intersection with Prussia, and now Maximilian actually sent his number one staff to Prussia, obviously not a good person!
After thinking about it for a while, Hans left the palace and went to Sanssouci Palace, where he felt it was necessary to report it to Wilhelm.
Hans is now powerful in Prussia, because Wilhelm grew up in Hans's fiefdom since he was a child, and the relationship between the Hans family and Wilhelm can be described as harmonious.
And now with Du Li being taken into William's pocket, Hans William is naturally more promoted and reused.
Now Hans is not only in charge of the military's intelligence agencies, but the government intelligence agencies that were originally in charge of Locks are now under Hans's command, and Hans, who unified the two intelligence agencies, has become Prussia's eyes and claws to the outside world.
Wilhelm not only made adjustments to Hans's rights, as an old man in the era of Frederick the Great.
The power of Buel, the head of the Hohenzollern royal family, was also strengthened.
A goshawk wants to fly higher not only to deal with storms and thunderstorms, but also to adjust its own state to the best, which is the case in Prussia now, William has a rather large plan in mind, but it is obviously not possible without a government with smooth decrees and dedicated public service, and the royal intelligence agency that Buel previously controlled was aimed at some bad officials in the government.
In order to achieve his goal, William not only expanded the strength of Buel's men, but also appointed Buel as the general minister of the kingdom.
This signifies that Bouel can have the right to directly arrest certain suspects in certain circumstances, if it is described in foreign terms, it is the secret police, if it is described in Chinese words, it is Jinyiwei!
Before the crossing, although the society would scold the formidable Jinyiwei when it came to the Ming Dynasty, unlike the mainstream of society, in William's opinion, it was the existence of Jinyiwei that allowed the Zhu Ming Empire to enjoy more than two hundred years of social security.
In the Ming Dynasty, although there was no preferential treatment of doctors like the Song Dynasty, it is undeniable that the officials of the Ming Dynasty were still very superior, in addition to the previous emperors, the later emperors can basically be said to be "the emperor with the seal", and the most famous of them is the Wanli Emperor, an emperor who has not been in court for more than 20 years!
Perhaps speaking of this, you may say that these are the merits of the officials, and the hard work of the officials is inseparable from the rule of the Holy Son of Heaven and the peace of the world.
Yes, there is some truth to this, but officials are always the most vulnerable group in any era, even in the Ming Dynasty.
No matter how corrupt an ordinary person's morality is, he will always only affect a few people, but as an official of the ruling class of society, once any problems arise, he can influence not so many people.
Without checks and balances, it is easy to breed ambition, and in such a situation, the supervision of government officials becomes the biggest problem, and a good regulatory mechanism can effectively kick the black sheep out of the ranks and ensure the positivity of the whole class, and once the regulation is reduced to the situation, then the evil will be contagious like a plague.
Although it has created many unjust, false and wrongful cases in its nearly 200-year history, and even once became a sharp weapon in the hands of some careerists against political opponents, it is undeniable that it is the sword of Damorisk like Jinyiwei hanging over the heads of officials that can make every official think twice before doing something.
Of course, William is not ready to pass on such a big killer weapon as Jinyiwei forever, he is just ready to slowly tighten this wild horse when his wish is realized.
Hearing that Hans asked to see him, William immediately agreed, as the head of the kingdom's foreign intelligence and operations agency, Hans undoubtedly has the privilege of meeting William at any time, and as the father of Durie and Carlo, Hans's status in William's mind is even different from others.
"Your Majesty, this is the information we have received in recent times and the reports on the actions of our people in various countries" As soon as he sat down opposite Wilhelm, Hans couldn't wait to bring a document to Wilhelm, this document was very much and at least dozens of pages, after all, it was about the layout of Prussia in European countries, so it was normal to have more.
In addition to the major problems such as uprisings, riots, and disasters that occurred in various countries, there was also no lack of gossip and anecdotes about the powerful people of various countries, and William's brow furrowed slightly when he saw the Ottomans stop on the Crimean Peninsula, and when William noticed that the British Whigs and Tories were once again staging an all-out military campaign in the British Parliament, William laughed again.
And after this information, Hans also attached their recent actions, such as several rebellions in France, sending right-hand men to infiltrate Moss, Paris, Vienna, etc.

It took William more than two hours to read the documents, and to be honest, he was quite satisfied with the recent actions of Hans's men.
What Prussia needs to do now is to accumulate grain and become king, and what is needed now is not a big move, but the most critical task is to infiltrate the governments of various countries and local ** forces.
"Your Excellency Hans, your military intelligence has been doing a good job lately, and I'll ask Henry to reward you later."
William looked at Hans, who had been sitting in front of him for two hours without changing his face, and smiled with satisfaction, and after William's words were finished, Hans hurriedly said modestly: "Your Majesty has won the award, these are what those of us who are subordinates should do, but Your Majesty has something I need to tell you" Hearing Hans's words, William was stunned, but soon he said: "If there's anything, just say it" "Your Majesty, our men have discovered that Richard, the staff of the Elector of Cologne, had come to Prussia without any diplomatic note, and that he had entered Brandenburg today, and that we had received Cologne's recent unusual actions, and I think that Richard must have come to Prussia with some purpose!"
Hans's words made William frown slightly, but soon, William smiled: "The soldiers will come to block the water and cover the earth, I want to see what our Elector of Cologne wants to do!"
