What Karl said and reached with the old fox is naturally unknown to the outside world, but it is obvious that Kaunitz is letting go of the pain of losing a child, after all, for such a large family, the death of a son does not make the old man willing to gamble on the entire family.
After that, Kaunitz came back out of the mountain to stabilize the hearts of the Austrian government offices, looking at Kaunitz, who was very happy to see Karl, but Andre's eyes were a little gloomy.
As mentioned earlier, Andrea, who came from an ordinary background, can be said to be quite dissatisfied with political elites like the Rietberg family who manipulate the entire country, and it was not good before, but when Andre integrated into the core of the Karl group and learned a lot of things that outsiders did not know.
In the past, Andre, like most Austrians, considered Kaunitz to be a hero of Austria, after all, it was the old chancellor who played a role in the Austrian succession and the Seven Years' War.
But people tend to easily change their opinions after learning something, and this is exactly the case with Andre at the moment, Kaunitz's image in his mind has changed from the former imperial hero to the current generation of traitors.
After stabilizing Vienna, Karl left his close confidant Andrea to lead 6,000 men to defend Austria, and then Karl personally led an army with Ferdinand's troops to defeat Alexander's "rebels" under the city of Vienna.
Although Karl did not have the Habsburg family coat of arms on his hand, at the moment in the eyes of everyone, Karl represented Austrian orthodoxy.
Karl's 25,000 men plus Ferdinand's 10,000 men made a total of 35,000 men, and after Karl occupied Austria, he temporarily recruited some soldiers from Austria, plus Karl sent envoys to the towns around Vienna, which received a response from most of the towns.
In this way, the army under Karl exceeded 40,000 men.
Even with 6,000 left in Vienna, Karl's crusade army still had a total strength of 36,000 men.
Alexander, on the other hand, stationed at Wagram, had only 15,000 troops, a third of whom were Austrian recruits with little combat effectiveness.
After setting off, Karl led the way to Wagram, not only did he encounter no obstacles along the way, but even the Austrian towns along the way treated the army as if they were saviors.
Of course, this was mainly due to Karl's reputation and the fact that Karl's army represented Austria.
Alexander's side, however, seemed to these Austrian towns to represent the Hungarian barbarians.
The Austrian Civil War attracted the attention of the whole of northern Italy and Central Europe, and even the attention of Selim III, who had just ascended to the throne of sultan, but at the moment Selim was concentrating on competing with the Janisselli clique of power, so he had no time to look westward, otherwise the Ottomans would definitely be interested in intervening in the already chaotic situation in Austria.
And for the city-states of northern Italy.
The current civil strife in the Habsburgs is undoubtedly a godsend for them.
The northern Italian city-states had been living under the snort of the Habsburgs, and almost all Italian city-states felt a headache for the behemoth above their heads.
The Habsburgs also knew about the snakes and rats of these northern Italian city-states, so the Habsburgs never gave up increasing their influence in northern Italy for generations.
Successive generations of Habsburgs would use marriage to stabilize the city-states of northern Italy, and at the same time send their descendants to sit in the Habsburgs' territories in northern Italy to deter these half-hearted city-states.
The city-states of Naples, Milan, Venice, Florence, Pisa and other city-states have never stopped their ambitions to get out of the Habsburgs.
And now that Austria was in the midst of civil strife, it was great news for the city-states of northern Italy, who saw in it an opportunity to free themselves from Habsburg influence. ............................................
Wilhelm's envoy met with Ludwig immediately after arriving in Dresden.
At the same time, the messenger also loudly announced William's orders.
Ludwig, who was half-kneeling on the ground, turned red after listening to Wilhelm's order.
"He can't do this, I'm his brother, and he doesn't have the right for me to apologize to a lowly woman, even if it's his mistress!"
Ludwig stood up and roared loudly, but in front of Ludwig, the royal envoy did look at Ludwig with cold eyes.
It wasn't until Ludwig noticed the emissary's eyes that he came to his senses.
And after regaining his senses, Ludwig immediately regretted what he had just said.
You must know that Du Li is William's woman anyway, not to mention that she is from the Hans family, in terms of identity, although Du Li's identity is only the daughter of an earl's family, but it is far from being lowly.
But Ludwig's words just now can be seen as an insult to Du Li, if such words reach Wilhelm's ears.
Then Ludwig couldn't believe what kind of treatment he was going to get.
To be honest, Ludwig did want to teach Du Li a lesson, Du Li was just William's mistress, even if she was pregnant with William's child.
The child was nothing more than an illegitimate child, and the illegitimate child was never recognized on the continent, that is, had no right of inheritance.
And now, William is going to openly challenge the thousand-year-old tradition of Europe for the sake of an illegitimate child, not to mention, and even put this illegitimate child above Ludwig's head, how can Ludwig, who has always been proud, stand it!
For Ludwig, yes, he had the Prussian throne in mind, but that didn't mean he had to do anything to get there.
The victors of the successive battles for the throne are those who endured to the end, although Ludwig kept making small moves behind his back, but because he knew this, the prince never showed his ambition on the surface.
But it wasn't until William's words completely angered Ludwig, and Ludwig was completely hollowed out after being expelled to Saxony, all of which made Ludwig very dissatisfied, so he would think about hiring a killer to assassinate Du Li, a woman who made himself humiliated.
Everything was done very hiddenly.
Then the person who came forward to help Ludwig hire the killer was also cleaned up by Ludwig later, and he did deceive Horn and the royal intelligence agency at the beginning, but there will never be an impermeable wall in the world, who would have thought that this is the case, the royal intelligence agency still got a clue.
"I will go back to Brandenburg at once to see my mother, I have been wronged!"
As if to hide his gaffe, he saw Ludwig shouting to go back to Brandenburg.
But apparently from Wilhelm's exile Ludwig when he left Brandenburg.
Without Wilhelm's orders, His Royal Highness the Prince of Prussia never thought of leaving Dresden.
Ludwig shouted for Louise to meet him and left the palace at a faster pace, but the royal envoy in the palace sneered and watched all this not stop Ludwig from leaving.

Sure enough, at the gate of the palace, Ludwig was decisively stopped by several guards.
Even though Ludwig shouted about his status as a prince and threatened the guards, these guards did not take a step away, but formed a human wall to block Ludwig in the palace.
After a while, the royal envoy came to Ludwig's side and said: "Your Royal Highness, you don't need to shout, His Majesty has already commanded.
You should not want to leave here except to go to Parets and apologize to Madame Dourie, and His Majesty has also instructed that if you do not see your actions within a week, then His Majesty will arrange a manor house for you in Denmark, and of course you can rest assured that the safety there is absolutely guaranteed!
” When the messenger finished speaking, Ludwig's face was already pale.
Suddenly.
I saw Ludwig sit down on the ground, and said with a whimper in his voice: "Why do this to me!
I'm his own brother, his own brother!
” "Hey, Your Highness, this kind of thing must not be incomprehensible to you, after all, you are already a threat now, not only a threat to His Majesty, but also a threat to Prince Eric and His Majesty's future heirs!"
The messenger said comfortingly beside Ludwig.
Ludwig stopped talking.
"Alright.
Your Highness, the carriage outside the palace is ready, let me know when you want to go to Paretz and I will accompany you.
I didn't hear anything else!
” With that, the messenger left the palace, and as the messenger left, Ludwig looked at his back with a hint of gratitude on his face.
William's treatment of Ludwig could not hide Louise at all, and when William sent someone to Dresden to reprimand Ludwig, Louise also found William.
"Get out of the way, when did you even dare to stop me, it's just lawless!"
Standing outside William's office door, Louise yelled at Horn who stood in front of her with an angry face.
Facing Louise with an angry face, Horn's expression was a little embarrassed, but he didn't let go of the way "Her Royal Highness the Queen Mother, don't embarrass me, Your Majesty has already given an order, he needs to be quiet for a while, don't disturb him!"
What Horn didn't expect was that after he finished speaking, Louise's anger seemed to be a little more intense, and she saw that Her Royal Highness the Queen Mother raised her right hand without hesitation and slapped Horn in the face fiercely.
"It's because His Majesty the King is surrounded by villains like you, so the royal family is as unstable as it is today, okay, I want to see if it's useless for me, the Queen Mother, to talk in this palace, come and arrest Horn for me!"
Several guards behind Louise immediately walked in front of Horn after hearing Louise's order "Lord Steward, I'm sorry, we are also following orders!"
Seeing that these guards were about to attack him, the look on Horn's face was not only not ugly, but even seemed to be a little relieved.
Obviously, for Horn, the conflict between the royal family is not something he can participate in, after all, between the king and the queen mother, no one can make a choice, and it is obviously the wisest choice to leave this vortex for a while.
But it was at this time that the door to William's office was opened from the inside.
I saw William come out of the office.
When William saw the scene in front of him, his eyebrows twitched a few times and he said: 'Mother, you are well!"
After saluting Louise, William immediately shouted to Horn and several of Louise's guards: "Presumptuous!
I don't even know what kind of place this is, so why don't you step back for me!
” After the reprimand, William respectfully invited Louise into his office and saw William's performance.
Although Louise was very angry in her heart, she wisely suppressed the anger in her heart and followed William into the office.
By the time the attendant had poured the tea, William and Louise were the only ones in the office.
"William, what the hell are you going to do, although I am also very distressed when Du Li was seriously stabbed, but how can you take your own brother out of anger!"
Louise was clearly trying her best to suppress the anger in her heart.
Although the pitch is not very high, it is full of trills, showing the inner peace of Her Royal Highness the Queen Mother.
"Mother, Ludwig has gone too far this time, and besides, I didn't order what happened to him, I just asked him to go to Paret to apologize to Du Li, after all, Du Li almost died at his hands.
It's never too much to apologize!
” William explained to Louise, but apparently Louise did not agree with William's explanation.
"Yes, it's nothing that you ask Ludwig to apologize, but how can you get him to go to Paretz to apologize to Duri in person, have you ever thought about the consequences that will be caused after this!
It is simply unimaginable that a dignified Prussian prince would apologize to a countess in a low voice, when would Du Li be able to override the head of the royal prince!
” Louise apparently meant to express her displeasure with Wilhelm forcing Ludwig to go to Paretz to apologize to Dorey.
Louise didn't like Du Li and Karina.
As for Lilisa, Louise didn't like this weak girl but didn't hate it, after all, in front of Louise, Lilisa always obeyed the queen mother's will.
But Du Li and Karina are different, both girls have their own opinions in their hearts, and once Louise gently persuaded Du Li to leave Prussia, which forced Du Li to turn around and refuse on the spot.
In this way, Louise naturally hates Du Li and Karina extremely much in her heart.

Of course.
This may also have something to do with Louise's experience, after all, when Louise was still the crown princess, William's father was very fond of her mistress as William Minnie, even shortly after William was born.
It was also under the encouragement of William Minnie that Louise endured the pain in her heart and watched her eldest son being sent away.
In this case, Louise hates any woman who is labeled as a mistress, and even though Dooley's mistress is William, Louise still has no crush on Dorye and Karina.
Because Du Li's arrogance is almost the same as that of William Minnie, and the two look a little similar, Louise almost often thinks of Du Li as the woman who once caused her a lot of pain.
Coupled with Anna's filial piety to Louise, as well as Anna's assassination, and William's attitude afterwards, Louise felt that the existence of these two vixens was definitely the main reason for the current discord within the Hohenzollern family.
"Mother, anyway, Du Li did almost die at the hands of Ludwig, I just asked Ludwig to apologize, it's not too much!"
William's forehead was bruised, but he still had to endure his temperament and patiently persuade Louise.
But Louise doesn't see it that way "Du Li is indeed wronged, but we make some compensation, and at the same time let Ludwig write a letter of apology, why let Ludwig rush over!
Ludwig is my son, and I must not see my son wronged by a vixen!
” It seems that in Louise's opinion, what happened to Du Li is nothing at all, and perhaps Ludwig's simple apology will be over.
"Mother, you really spoil Ludwig, do you know what happened to Du Li!
That killer almost killed Du Li, and now, even if Du Li is alive, my unborn child is dead!
Mother, that's my child, it's your grandson, is it too much for me to ask Ludwig to come and apologize!
I didn't let him bury my child with me, I already spared him for the sake of his own brother!
” William, who could no longer control his anger, jumped up and roared angrily in an instant, and when he heard William mention the child in Du Li's belly, Louise suddenly stopped talking.
Seeing that Louise did not speak, William said with a pale face; "This matter is handled like this, I will ask Ludwig to go to Parez to apologize to Du Li, I have made a decision, there will be no changes, you better go back and rest first!"
With that, William lowered his head and ignored Louise.
Under William's tough posture, Louise couldn't speak, she stood up and pointed at William, and said with moist eyes: "Okay, William, you're fine, yes, you've grown up and have your own opinions, but don't forget, I'm your mother, can it be said that I raised you unfilial thing when I was pregnant for ten months!"
