Chapter 452: The Big Wedding


"Father, but ...................."

"Nothing!

Franz, I warn you, that you must not reveal a single word of what you have just said, that Prussian is the husband of your sister who will be in the future, and that he is also a Habsburg."

As he spoke, Leopold's face had taken on a strange hideousness.

After Franz left Leopold's room in a panic, His Majesty the future Emperor sat down on the sofa in a daze, and he looked at the things on the table in front of him for a moment. ...................................

June 6, 1790 Leopold's coronation took place in Frankfurt, and all the Electors who had previously attended the Electors' Conference were all present at Leopold's coronation, with the exception of Maximilian, who was unwell.

Leopold's ascension to the throne of Emperor was not particularly grand due to Austria's financial woes, but it was enough to demonstrate the sanctity of Leopold's coronation.

According to Leopold's plan, his coronation was followed by William and Anna's wedding, so after Leopold's coronation, Anna also temporarily moved to Leopold's dormitory, and William's wedding date was tentatively set for June 11.

Fortunately, Kautz had communicated with Queen Louise about the date of Wilhelm's wedding, so the day after Leopold's coronation, Louise and the Hohenzollern family and most of the Prussian officials rushed to Frankfurt.

Prince Henry, who is currently the most senior member of the Hohenzollern family, will undoubtedly be Wilhelm's witness, and the priest who will officiate Wilhelm and Anna's wedding will be Bishop Byrne of Brandenburg.

Just after everything was ready, on June 11, 1790, the wedding of William and Anna was officially held.

The decorations of Leopold's accession to the throne had not been completely cleaned up a few days ago, and the decorations of William's wedding were hung.

The wide, bright hall is covered with festive flowers, from William's residence to the very center of the Imperial Parliament Hall.

The red carpet was all rolled out along the way, and the 1st Cavalry Regiment of the Prussian Royal Guards was mobilized to stand guard along the streets, which added a solemn atmosphere to Wilhelm's wedding.

For this wedding, William is not ready to make a big deal, but William is the king of a country after all, and his identity is destined to be shabby in his marriage, not to mention that Louise is on the side.

Inside the Imperial Diet Hall in Frankfurt.

When Anna took Leopold's arm and walked slowly into the hall, she became the center of attention, and all eyes were on Anna.

Today's Anna is particularly charming and pure, and purity is exactly the trait that William likes.

Looking at Anna in front of him, William's spirit was in a trance, and he seemed to feel that the girl in front of him seemed to coincide with the figure of his girlfriend in his previous life.

If only I could have faced her bravely.

Then I wouldn't have fled from that city, and in that case, would I still have my current self?

The answer is no, William's love story in his previous life is a bit like those idol dramas on TV, because the love without bread made the two have to break up.........

William watched Anna get closer and closer, and his already trance-like expression couldn't help but regain his strength, and when he took Anna's hand from Leopold's hand, he looked at Anna's face.

William's expression gradually became firm, at this moment he is no longer the poor boy in his previous life, he not only carries the honor of the family on his shoulders, but also the rise and fall of the country!

To be honest, for William, Anna actually doesn't have much good feeling in her heart, even if the relationship between the two was very close to outsiders some time ago, but only the two of them knew in their hearts that all this was just purposeful, and the two did not come together for the sake of affection, but for the interests of the country and the family.

Anna used to think about it.

If William can cut off the relationship with the three women in Sanssouci Palace, then she can also accept William wholeheartedly, but William's actions make her a little unacceptable, William not only did not cut off the relationship with the three women, on the contrary, William canonized the three women as earls, and everyone got a royal fief, which made Anna's heart acceptable.

But even so.

When Anna, dressed in a red and gold-trimmed gown, took William's hand, no amount of resentment and anger in her heart was lifted at this moment, knowing that he beside her would become her husband, no matter what the future holds.

At least at this moment, the hearts of the two are close together.

When Byrne announced that William and Anna had successfully married each other, the whole hall burst into thunderous applause and cheers, which lasted for about three minutes, and then the hall became quiet again at William's signal.

"Today, I am very honored to marry Princess Anna, and for this reason I am crowning Princess Anna on behalf of God!"

After saying this sentence, everyone in the hall obviously lost their minds, they didn't know what William was doing, you must know that the coronation of the queen and the king are the same as the king's coronation by religious leaders, but now William obviously did not follow the rules.

All this was arranged by William, when Napoleon and Josephine were coronated in history, Napoleon ignored the Pope of Rome, openly snatched the crown from the hands of the Pope and put it on himself, and then personally put on the crown for his wife Josephine!

And today's actions of William are exactly the same as those of Napoleon in history.

After William's words were finished, one walked up to William from the crown that symbolized the queen's power and status, and William turned around and lifted the crown.

Although Anna didn't understand William's actions, she knew what she should do at the moment, so Anna turned and walked over to William's side and half-knelt down.

William, holding the crown in his hand, slowly put it on Anna's head, and when Anna got up to thank her, the whole hall burst into applause again.

After William and Anna's wedding, Leopold left Frankfurt with a copy of William's edict as crown prince.

On June 21, 1790, Wilhelm rushed back to Brandenburg, where Wilhelm and his party were greeted with great pomp, and countless people stood on either side of the triumphal arch just to catch a glimpse of the king and queen.

In the palace, William is having a headache with the arrangements for Karina's three daughters.

Although the whole country was silent about the relationship between William and the three daughters, William also knew in his heart that Prussia was not like the country in the East after all, and it was impossible for three wives and four concubines to be allowed.

And now that Anna has become his legal wife, the queen of Prussia, the relationship between the four girls is quite a problem for William.

After the marriage, William did not take Anna to her honeymoon because of her busy schedule, which made Anna even more dissatisfied, although Anna did not directly explain her dissatisfaction to William, but the frost on her face occasionally revealed her heart.

In addition to worrying about his harem, William was also worried about Christine, after William got married, Christinee seemed to be more and more haggard day by day, and even the smile on her face was much less than usual, which made William very distressed.

In addition to these things, William also sent an envoy to Vienna to urge Leopold to fulfill the agreement reached between the two sides as soon as possible.

Austria and Prussia agreed that after Leopold ascended the throne, he would order the abolition of many small states in the Mainz valley, including the Elector of Mainz, as emperor, and not only that, Leopold also promised Prussia that Prussia could give Prussia an edict to annex Saxony, but none of this saw the Vienna action, so William was a little anxious.

While William was troubled by the above problems, the envoy sent to Vienna came back with the news that William was very angry, that is, Leopold had not fulfilled his original promise in response to the edict promised to William.

Combined with information from Prussian spies lurking in Vienna, Wilhelm came to the rather angry conclusion that Leopold might have to repent.

In addition to inspecting the Royal Guard, William also inspected three newly reorganized missions, and thanks to the support of Locks, the reorganization of the three divisions went very smoothly and they were initially capable of fighting.

As for the work of the weapons factory, Wilhelm also urged the relevant responsible persons not to be left behind, especially the manufacture of the Friedrich 1790 rifle.

William's series of activities are extremely dangerous in the eyes of those who care, because William's frequent inspections of the barracks and arsenals are sending a strong signal to the outside world.

But perhaps it was Franz's words that touched Leopold's heart, or maybe Leopold was originally happy with the Prussians, in short, Leopold has always used procrastination in dealing with Prussian envoys.

When Wilhelm's unusual move reached Vienna, Leopold was clearly not prepared to compromise, and in the following week, the Austrian part of the army began to move secretly.

The actions of Prussia and Austria surprised many countries, and no one expected that in less than a month, the two countries, which had previously become very affectionate because of Leopold's accession to the throne and Wilhelm's wedding, would show signs of turning their faces in such a short period of time, which made many so-called international observers drop their jaws.

And at this time, Anna, who had just become queen of Prussia, also began to play her part.
