Chapter 630: Meeting


The Viennese civilians gathered in the streets were quickly expelled by a group of Hungarian soldiers urgently dispatched by Daniel, and later, after communication between Daniel and Anna, Anna agreed that Prussia would spare the two Viennese who had thrown eggs at the Prussian mission and hand them over to Daniel to deal with.

However, Ellstner can be said to be quite dissatisfied with Anna's attitude, you must know that what the two Viennese did was completely a provocation to Prussia, but now Anna is letting go as if nothing has happened, isn't this a long time for others to destroy their own prestige!

However, despite Elsterner's arguments, his arms could not reach his thighs, and in the end the Prussian division and others had to reluctantly accept this aggrieved disposition.

For Anna, she naturally wanted to make the big things small, but she didn't take into account the feelings of the rest of the Prussian mission.

This world is a world of the jungle, and Prussia, as a first-class European power, is now being treated unequally in the home of Austria, a defeated man, how can this not be accepted by the Prussians, who have mostly changed to the chauvinistic ideas of the great powers.

What happened to the Prussian mission in the streets of Vienna and what happened afterwards was known to Alexander and some of the powerful people who had heard about it in Vienna in the shortest possible time, and Daniel's arrest of the two Viennese youths caused a great deal of trouble in the upper echelons of Vienna.

Of course, this is not a story for now, just after Anna arrived at the Prussian embassy in Vienna.

Alexander immediately sent to the Prussian embassy to invite Anna to the Imperial Palace in Vienna.

As the date of Leopold II's funeral drew closer, Franz, who had been imprisoned in Vienna for months, was released just before Anna's arrival in Vienna.

Of course, Alexander did not reduce the surveillance of Franz, there were a hundred Hungarian soldiers who were strictly ordered by Alexander to stay by Franz's side whenever and wherever they wanted, even if Franz slept or went to the toilet, he had to watch Franz to death, and in addition to the 100 people on the surface, Alexander also arranged for more people to keep an eye on Franz's every move in secret.

Franz's comeback didn't make much of a splash on the surface, but the entire Viennese upper class knew that with Franz seeing the light of day.

There can be no doubt that Vienna will once again be engaged in a brutal political struggle, for there are quite a few people in Austria who are dissatisfied with Alexander's rule.

In particular, Kaunitz's eldest son, Christopher, took control of the Rietberg family.

The family, which had a large political power in Austria, began to get closer and closer to Franz, and the reason why Alexander was able to agree to Franz's release from prison to attend the funeral of Leopold II can be said to be a reluctant compromise in the face of the pressure of the Rietberg family.

After the death of Leopold II, the situation in Vienna, including the whole of Austria, became more and more turbulent, although the whole of Vienna was quite calm.

But it is this calm before the storm that makes people feel the most tormented and frightened.

When Anna saw Alexander in the Imperial Palace in Vienna.

She couldn't believe that the man in front of her was her brother Alexander.

Among the siblings, Anna was ranked fourth, while Alexander was sixth, but the brother in front of him, who was two years younger than him, looked like a thirty-year-old man.

It can be said that Alexander has lived in a heavy state routine every day since he came to power Vienna, because the legitimacy of his rule has been universally doubted, so Alexander must use his practical actions to gain the support of the people, even if his actions have had little effect.

There were three more people in the palace.

They were Leopold II's eldest daughter Theresa, second son Ferdinand, third son Karl, and the eldest son Franz did not appear in the palace because he was under house arrest.

The other children were too young to be in the palace either.

Seeing Anna enter the palace, except for Alexander, the other three people saluted Anna one after another, and seeing her relatives saluting her, Anna's heart not only did not rise with a sense of pride, on the contrary, her eyes were covered with a layer of mist.

"Sister Theresa, Brother Ferdinand, Brother Karl, Alexander, I finally see you again!"

Anna's tone choked up, and when she had finished, Theresa walked up to Anna, took Anna's hand, and said: "Anna, I miss you too!"

Theresa married Prince Anthony of Saxony in 1787, but after Prussia conquered Saxony and Saxony dissolved into its own rule, Theresa went into exile with her husband in Vienna.

Although the Austrians had later used Antony's position to organize a number of uprisings in Saxony, they were suppressed by the Prussians and ended in failure, and the Austrian government no longer had any hope of recovering Saxony.

Theresa, who held Anna's hand, actually had a very complicated heart, knowing that it was the Prussians' annexation of Saxony that led to the fall of Theresa's husband's home country, and not only that, the Prussians also defeated Austria, it can be said that it was the defeat of the Austro-Prussian War that indirectly led to the death of Leopold II.

Although Anna still has the blood of the Habsburgs in her body, her current identity is Her Royal Highness the Queen of Prussia, which also makes Theresa's expression very complicated when she looks at Anna.

The hand was held by Theresa, but Anna's eyes were staring at Alexander, and she asked in a complicated tone: "Alexander, does your father's death have anything to do with you?"

Hearing Anna's culture, the expression on Alexander's face was stunned, and then Alexander's face suddenly turned red "Anna, do you think I killed my father!"

Looking at Alexander's excited expression, Anna's tone was a little cold "Then why did everyone think that you killed my father from the moment I entered Vienna!

And you put Brother Franz in prison, people are not like people, ghosts are not ghosts, aren't Brother Franz from the Habsburgs!

” As soon as Anna finished speaking, the other three people in the room, except for Anna and Alexander, all looked at Alexander with complicated eyes, and saw his brother and sister casting suspicious glances at him, Alexander only felt that his scalp was numb, and his heart was filled with anger.

"Franzna was imprisoned because of royal power!

Do you think it's normal for Brother Franz to imprison me and even put me to death after he ascends the throne?

Besides, would you rather believe the gossip out there than believe me, Alexander!

Your brother!

” Alexander's words silenced Anna.

The reason why he questioned Alexander as soon as he entered the door was because when Anna entered the Prussian embassy, she heard the Prussian ambassador report to her about the death of Leopold II, and after speaking, the ambassador even mysteriously informed Anna of the rumors circulating in Vienna.

It was precisely because of hearing this rumor that Anna came to the Vienna Imperial Palace in such a hurry, and she didn't even bother to freshen up.

"Alright, Alexander, don't say it, I believe that you didn't kill my father!

If you had that heart, you could have done it as early as when you came to Vienna, and you didn't have to put it off until now!

” It was Ferdinand who relieved Alexander, as the Habsburg prince who supported Alexander the most, Ferdinand and Alexander were in a relationship of lip and tooth when they faced Franz's pressure before, but because Ferdinand was not present when Christopher and others forced Alexander to release Franz.

Otherwise, Ferdinand would definitely be resolutely opposed to Franz's release, because it was Franz's reason that Ferdinand was driven back to his fiefdom Tuscany early.

In Austria, Ferdinand had considerable influence among the northern Italian city-states, partly because of his fiefdom of Tuscany, and partly because Ferdinand married Princess Louisa of the Kingdom of Sicily in 1790, which strengthened Austria's control over the Italian city-states and made Ferdinand a very appealing presence among the Italian city-states.

After Ferdinand arrived in Vienna, he supported Alexander, even though the whole of Vienna was talking about Alexander's usurpation of the throne, only Ferdinand was the first openly supporter of Alexander within the Habsburgs.

In contrast to Ferdinand, Karl was undoubtedly influenced by the rumours circulating in Vienna, which were quite true.

After Ferdinand spoke, seeing that the situation was slightly stiff, Theresa smiled and said: "We are all children of the Habsburgs, and we should be united in this difficult time for the country, and infighting like this is bound to make others laugh!

You say yes, Carl?

” If Karl had supported Alexander before, then after the death of Leopold II, Karl's loyalty to Alexander was quite questionable.

You must know that it was Alexander who agreed to release Franz, on the one hand, because of the persecution of Christopher and others, and on the other hand, because Karl's suspicion of him at that time made him have no steps to go down at all!

"Well, now that the state affairs are difficult, and the foundation of the Habsburgs' rule has been loosened, in this case, I am willing to work with Alexander to stabilize the Habsburgs!"
