Louise looked at William with wide eyes, as if she couldn't believe that this somewhat crazy person in front of her was her son, Louise pointed at William and muttered: "William, you......
How dare you?
” Facing the stunned Louise, William said with an unchanged face: "This is my kingdom, and Prussia can only act according to the will of its sovereign, and I, as the supreme king of Prussia, will run everything in Prussia according to my will, and those who oppose it will let them oppose it, but hope that they will repent of their deeds when they see God!"
After saying that, William deliberately glanced at Ludwig again.
If there is anyone who can threaten Wilhelm's throne in the Prussian royal family at present, then only Ludwig, because Ludwig is his only younger brother, before the birth of Eric Jr., Ludwig has always been the first heir to the Prussian throne, and although with the birth of Eric Jr., Ludwig was squeezed into the second line, but there is no doubt that this ranking is still quite high.
And Wilhelm's decision can naturally be called bad news for Ludwig, after all, it means that Ludwig's ranking for the Prussian succession to the throne will even be behind William's illegitimate sons, which is obviously a little unacceptable to Ludwig.
But Wilhelm's cruel words are already here, after all, as Wilhelm said, he has the entire military power of Prussia in his hands!
And whether it is Du Li or Karina, they are women who cannot be inferred by common sense.
At least Ludwig thinks that if he wants to compete for the throne with Karina or Dorey's children in the future, then the huge family power behind these two women is enough to occupy an overwhelming advantage.
Unless, of course, Ludwig can get the support of the entire Hohenzollern family.
But apparently this is not possible at the moment, because although there are still some old immortals in the Hohenzollern family, how can these old immortals withstand the power of William, the current king of Prussia.
Feeling William's gaze, Ludwig immediately lowered his head, but the corners of his mouth that were secretly clenched showed the anger and unwillingness in Ludwig's heart.
Although even being at the top of the ranking doesn't mean anything, after all, Eric is still William's legal child, as long as the child is healthy.
Then Ludwig has no chance at all, but people have hope at all times, and Ludwig doesn't say anything even on the surface.
But he didn't pray to God in his heart, hoping that Lady Luck would bless him.
But now Wilhelm's decision undoubtedly killed Ludwig's hopes.
Cristini on the side felt the strange atmosphere in the room and immediately spoke: "Mother, brother, don't talk about this kind of thing now.
A family doesn't have to be that complicated.
If it really doesn't work, if Karina and the others give birth to a child for their brother in the future, then I will hand over Western Lithuania to them!
” Christine's words immediately attracted everyone, at least in the eyes of Louise and Ludwig, Christine's suggestion was very operable, and in terms of pros and cons, at least it was much better than what William said.
"Kristiny, Western Lithuania is your dowry.
I've already decided on that!
I only hope that you will find a wishful man, and then I will put the scepter of the Grand Duke of Western Lithuania into his hands!
” Look at Kristine.
William's eyes showed a hint of love.
Although William has been somewhat estranged from Christinie in recent years due to busy state affairs and pro-conquest, this estrangement has not reduced Christine's status in William's heart, on the contrary, it is also a good thing for William to have a pistachio like Christini to eliminate some depression when he is busy.
"However, if I marry someone in the future, who knows what kind of person he is, and now many people are doing one thing in front of one person and one behind the other, what if that person only marries me for the dowry you gave me!
Also, neither Sister Charlotte nor William Minnie have such a rich dowry, and I don't want to be special in the family!
” As she spoke, Christine's face showed a hint of bitterness, and seeing Christine's expression, William's brows instantly wrinkled a little.
"Christine, is someone talking bad about you behind your back?
Tell my brother, and my brother will take care of it!
” Hearing William's words, Christine hurriedly waved her hand and said: "Why, no one said anything, but I don't think it's appropriate!"
After Christine's words were finished, William's face looked quite unhappy, you must know that according to Christine's temper, she has always said something, but now looking at her expression, it is obvious that she is hiding something from William, so William will be a little displeased.
And at that moment, Louise spoke: "No one said anything to Kristini, it's just that you weren't in Brandenburg some time ago, so some things may not be clear, because the Swedes sent troops to East Lithuania and there was a lot of conflict with our army in Western Lithuania, so there are some ministers who want to be able to send people from the royal family out of West Lithuania, and it is obviously inappropriate for Christine to be a girl, so I think it is better to let Ludwig go to West Lithuania........"
Before Louise could finish speaking, William interrupted and said: "Is it necessary to add a hat to Ludwig as the Grand Duke of Western Lithuania?"
"This is not necessary, after all, you have promised to award Western Lithuania as Christine's dowry, but I also think that as your younger brother, Ludwig is about to graduate from the Military Academy, and after he leaves the town of Western Lithuania, he will still have to be given a position, it is better to set up a governor in Lithuania and then Ludwig will take the position, and wait until Christine marries to revoke the position of Governor of Lithuania!"
As soon as Louise finished speaking, William immediately became furious and said: "Ridiculous, why don't I know about this.
Mother, has the edict been issued on this matter?
” "Not yet, waiting for you to make a final decision!"
"I disagree.
The post of Governor of Lithuania will never be established, whether it is in the past, present or future, Western Lithuania is Kristine's fiefdom, this area belongs to Kristini, even if Cristine's husband dares to betray Kristini in the future, then he will still get out of Lithuania, this is what I have promised Kristini a long time ago!
” William walked up to Christianie's hand, then took her hand and said: "Brother's promise.
Works at any time!
” "William, you are simply ridiculous, then how are you going to place your brother!"
Watching William repeatedly contradict himself.

Louise couldn't help it, and also asked William angrily.
Hearing Louise's questioning, William just said coldly: "Either wait until Ludwig graduates from the military academy and is directly assigned to the ranks, or I will immediately canonize Ludwig as a prince.
And then let him work in the military department!
” Hear William's arrangement.
Not only Louise, but even Ludwig raised his head and yelled at William dissatisfiedly: "How can you do this to me!
I am your own brother, and I have the blood of the Hohenzollerns in my veins, so am I worse than your lowly bastards!
” "Ludwig, don't think I don't know what you've done in the military academy, yes, you're doing your homework well, but you've used your power to kill many women in the military academy.
Didn't you count it yourself?
” After William's words, Ludwig was a little stunned.
Louise looked at Ludwig in disbelief.
In fact, to be honest, for her two sons, Louise still prefers her younger son.
On the one hand, it was very common for parents to like their young children, but on the other hand, Wilhelm was sent to Paretz not long after his birth, and by the time he returned to Brandenburg, he was several years old, while Ludwig had always been by Louise's side.
And Louise owes more to William in her heart, after all, William left her mother since she was a child, so Louise always felt guilty about William in her heart.
And Louise is more of a mother and son to Ludwig, after all, Ludwig is what she really raised, and Ludwig often agrees to be happy, which makes Louise feel very pleased.
This became especially evident after William's accession to the throne, William and Louise did not stay together very often because he was busy with political affairs, but Ludwig was different, and even after Ludwig moved out of the palace when he grew up, he basically visited Louise every day as long as he was free.
"You're sending someone to spy on me?"
Ludwig glared at William and said, hearing Ludwig's words, William smiled lightly and said: "Ludwig, put away your thoughts, as long as I am on the throne and I have my own offspring, then you will never think about this throne.
Originally, I didn't want to say this, but today you are too presumptuous!
I am your brother, but at the same time I am the king of Prussia, and you are my brother, but you are still my courtier.
Unless I am the heir, you will die of that heart!
” The competition for the throne within the royal family is actually seen in history, after all, not everyone is willing to expose their ugly things.
Growing up with a man in the royal family, as long as he has that qualification, then almost no one will not feel a strong yearning for that position, which is actually human nature, after all, even ordinary people's families, it is not uncommon to compete for family property.
"Brother, how can you say that about Brother Ludwig, he is your own brother after all!
Could it be that because of the throne you can see all of us as your enemies?
” It was William Minnie, who had not spoken before.
If there is anyone in the entire royal family who is most jealous of Christine, then there is no doubt that Her Royal Highness Princess William Minnie.
A few years ago, because Christine's dowry was too rich, William Minnie had a quarrel with William, but that time was ruthlessly rejected by William, and because of this, William Minnie was quite dissatisfied with Christine's differential treatment.
Why is Christine's dowry a hundred thousand square kilometers of Western Lithuania, while her Wilhelminne's dowry is only a few hundred thousand marks and a few estates?
"There is no doubt that my enemies can only be those who harbor unrealistic fantasies in their hearts.
And William Minnie, I see everything you do to Christine, including the pressure you put on Christine through your mother.
I just hope it doesn't happen again!
” After saying that, William said to the silent Louise: "Mother, you are my mother, Her Royal Highness the Queen Mother of Prussia!
I know your feelings for Ludwig and Wilhelminne, but you can't indulge them because of that!
Are there still fewer examples of royal struggles leading to the decay of the country?
I don't want us Prussia to be the next too!
At present, Prussia has laid a solid foundation, and it is precisely at this time that it is about to attack the first power on the European continent, the first power in the world.
I want you to look at the big picture.
Ludwig and Wilhelminne, I'll take care of them, don't worry.
I can guarantee that roommates will never happen to the Hohenzollerns!
” William's words seemed categorical, which made Louise feel a little speechless, and after a while, Louise walked to the edge of the sofa and sat down and said a little weakly: "I don't want your brothers and sisters to have a stiff relationship over these things, but William.
You have to remember.
The Hohenzollern family has come to this day thanks to the unity of the family!
If you look at Prince Henry, after your father died, many people proposed that Prince Henry inherit the throne, but Prince Henry rejected them.
Prince Henry is not so much to ensure the unity of the family, and your brother Ludwig I am sure he will do a better job than Prince Henry!
Don't give up the power of your family because of that sense of crisis in your heart, and don't forget, the only people you can trust are your relatives, and Ludwig is one of your dearest people!

” Louise's words were undoubtedly speaking for Ludwig.
Although Louise did not know what was going on between the two brothers, Wilhelm and Ludwig, it was clear that it was today.
William certainly wouldn't have been unmissed, and in that case, it must have been Ludwig who had crossed the line.
And after Louise finished speaking, William looked at Louise's hopeful eyes and said: "After a while, I will canonize Ludwig as Prince of Saxony and go to guard Saxony, and as for Wilhelminne, I will consider it!"
"No, Mother, I don't want to go to Saxony!
Letting me go to Saxony is obviously to put me under house arrest!
” Ludwig was obviously a little excited after listening to William's words, no wonder Ludwig was so excited, you must know that the Saxony region has long become William's iron bucket thanks to William's series of policy tilts and attention, and at this time let Ludwig go to Saxony, obviously I don't think Ludwig has much to do.
After all, Ludwig, the Prince of Saxony, sounds good, but he has no real power in his hands.
Ludwig's objection caused a cold glint in Wilhelm's eyes "Ludwig, you are very good, you are in the military academy to win over cadets, in the Brandenburg garrison command to spend a lot of money to win over officers, like a small battalion commander inside, you spent 30,000 marks on him, right?
Don't you know any of this?
And you dare to rely on your power to shield the felons and train them to be your dead soldiers, what do you want to do?
I've also heard that you've bought a lot of weapons and ammunition from secret sources.
I would like to ask you, what exactly do you want to do in Brandenburg?
” After listening to William's words, Ludwig's face was already pale, and he didn't expect William to know everything about his actions.
Looking at Ludwig, who was speechless, there was also a trace of disgust in William's eyes.
This younger brother of mine doesn't have the courage to do big things and still wants to achieve big things, it's just a fool's dream.
In addition to Ludwig, there was Louise in the face of paleness, and Her Royal Highness the Queen Mother did not expect that there would be such a quarrel between her two sons.
"Ludwig, is William right, did you really do these things?"
Louise could ignore Ludwig's messing around at the Military Academy, after all, with the power of the royal family here, none of this is a big deal.
But what William said later is not so simple, hoarding weapons and ammunition without permission, and raising dead soldiers, these are all capital crimes!
Although it was not unusual for the upper nobility to make these moves throughout Europe, it was quite terrible for Ludwig.
After all, it had only been three years since Ludwig had just become independent from the Brandenburg royal palace, and it would have been a misplot to do these things in three years, otherwise, would a prince still need to raise more than 200 dead soldiers in three years?
Even a powerful family with such a deep foundation and great strength as Locks had raised less than 500 dead soldiers in total, and this was only with the acquiescence of Frederick the Great and William in consideration of Locks' exploits.
The so-called dead soldiers, not everyone can be called, after all, no one will be full enough to hold on to this kind of profession that does not know when to lose their lives, generally only those who have broken the law and have a skill need to rely on the power of the powerful to deal with the government's search can be called a dead soldier.
There is also the matter of co-opting the officers of the Brandenburg Garrison Command, how can the officers of the Brandenburg Garrison Command be able to win over?
You must know that these people are responsible for the garrison of Brandenburg, and to win over these people is simply to seek death in front of the ruler!
