Chapter 2040 Spoiler

Before Madame de Staël was expelled from Paris, she and Madame Récamier had been an "alliance of talent and beauty." Later, Madame de Staël was expelled from Paris because of her excessive involvement in politics. This alliance seemed to have broken down.

Already.

Madame Récamier's father had a friend named Bernard. He had served as postmaster before, but was later dismissed for supporting the publication of a journal. This journal was edited by Bernard's friend Brother Guyot, and it involved

There were many attacks on the First Consul and his family, and of course, Georgiana was also among those attacked.

Bernard's daughter insisted that her father was innocent and protested, but to no avail, but Napoleon spared Bernard from going to court.

Madame Récamier was very influential in the fashion world, and her salon, Georgiana, was also visited and many people socialized there.

But Madame Récamier was not close to Georgiana, and she was a bit "obeying orders". As long as Georgiana seemed to "fall out of favor", Madame Récamier would stay away from her. It seems that her character

He's not that popular with everyone either.

The information provided by the "informant" did not say that Madame Récamier's salon had become like Madame de Staël's reception room, filled with guests who resisted the authority of the Führer, but that everyone had a different understanding of what happened to Mr. Bernard.

"In-depth" discussion.

She skimmed over all the nonsense, and finally came across a somewhat useful piece of information: Juliette Récamier's maiden name was Bernard, which happened to be the same surname as the postmaster.

If Juliet looks like "The Ugly Duchess", then people may explore her life experience to study what causes this...

However, Juliet was a peerless beauty. She spent her childhood in a monastery, and many illegitimate children were born and raised in the monastery.

Rumors had spread that M. Récamier was her biological father, just as the biological father of Louis and Hortense's first child had been Napoleon.

It is no longer news that Georgiana is considered to be a British female spy. Friar Guyot seems to want to discuss marriage issues with her, and he is so "frank" about Lucien's bribery and Gerero's bad living habits.

If the handsome Pitt has any merit besides his looks, it is that he wants to accomplish one thing, and it will not be like Addington, who refused to release fishing rights to the French even during the peace talks.

No matter how we fight in the future, we must first pay off the finances and national debt. Wasn't the French Revolution precisely because the French Revolution spent too much military expenditure on the War of Independence, which resulted in increased taxes?

Even Napoleon did not dare to raise taxes at will, even indirect taxes. When the British saw that France did not collect income tax, they began to clamor for the abolition of income tax.

If there is an anti-French alliance in the future, Britain will still need to pay military expenses. More money is urgently needed to attract more "friends" to form an anti-French alliance, but Pitt will not push the country to destruction just to fight France to the death.

of.

Josephine's niece Stephanie, the beauty who Georgiana overheard Louis confessing to at the lake that day, is currently very active.

The biological father of the hereditary prince of Baden died after falling from his horse on the way to Russia. At that time, he was planning to go to St. Petersburg to visit his daughter who was married away, the wife of Tsar Alexander.

Baden is still just a vassal state, but a tsarist queen has been born. Theoretically, it is to raise the level of Baden, which means that it has changed from a vassal state to a grand duchy. Queen Catherine was born in Baden.

No matter how small Tedin is, it is still a principality.

This is where the trouble started. The first Archduke of Baden, Carl Friedrich, had seven sons and two daughters. The eldest son, Carl Ludwig, was the prince who rode to Russia to see his daughter. The second son, Frei,

Derich, who married Louis of Nassau-Usingen and left no children, a third son, Ludwig Wilhelm August.

In other words, who is more suitable to be the heir of the Grand Duke, uncle or nephew?

The mother of the young Archduke had a common language with Margrave Ludwig, the brother of the deceased prince, and often used insulting language to talk about Napoleon's brothers, sisters-in-law and sisters-in-law. There was a court case.

The minister's name was De Tiard. During his exile during the Revolution, he went to some small German federations and hooked up with those palaces. No, he established some relationships. Therefore, he brokered the alliance between France, Baden and Bavaria.

Her mother did not want her son to inherit the title left by his father, or they were unwilling to form an alliance with France because France is a republic, not a hereditary system. Georgiana was still wondering why Stephanie decided to marry Baden so early

go.

According to logic, it is the emperor of the Holy Roman Empire to elevate a vassal state to a grand duchy. Even the Habsburg family dare not mess with it casually, because the Habsburg family is only one of the electors, and there are others.

You can compete. But Napoleon can plunder the lands of electors by force. Electors without land are not qualified to be elected emperor. In order to gather so many electors, he can support one, such as Baden in

Obtaining the title of principality and the qualification of elector at the same time gave the tsar more face. Did he have any reason to refuse?

This is interfering in other people's family affairs, or interfering in other countries' internal affairs. Add to that the problems in Switzerland and Valais, no wonder the UK is in trouble.

The problem is that now the young elector is confused by Stephanie. Should his son or brother inherit the family property left by his father?

This involves Napoleon's family affairs again. Louis gave birth to a son, and Joseph's competitors became younger and younger.

"What are you looking at?"

She looked back at the "culprit" who had just taken a bath. The baby's head was proportionally larger, just like him.

"News from Paris." She stuffed the sealed envelope into his arms, but he didn't even look at it, just threw it to the table and left it.

He held her up very gracefully, as if he was inviting her to dance, then threw her down on the bed, lying on top of her, and let out a long sigh.

"Do you think our plan is possible?" he asked tiredly.

"I don't know," she said, looking at the curtains of the four-poster bed. "I've done the best I can."

God will judge the rest.

she said in her heart.

"What's the news?" he asked absently, as if talking casually.

She felt that he would not be happy whether he was being discussed by Madame Récamier's friends or by Baden.

"Have you ever been to the Black Forest?" she asked. "There is a kind of little monster called an evil spirit in there, which specializes in attacking children who stray into the forest..."

There was a legend circulating in the Baden area about a "wild child" named Kaspar Hauser. One morning in 1828, he suddenly appeared naked in Nuremberg. He looked about 16 years old, but

He was mentally retarded and taciturn. People said that he was the missing prince of the Principality of Baden many years ago. Someone exchanged him with another dying baby in order to have a descendant of the Baden royal family succeed to the throne.

Officially, the prince is dead, not missing, and this Kaspar Hauser has nothing to do with Baden.

However, according to his own words, he was locked in a dark room and was given bread and water every day.

What was the purpose of the person who imprisoned him? Why not kill him, or do something more cruel?

Not two years later, there was a burst of gunfire in the middle of the night. When Hauser's guards found him, his head was covered with blood, but he was not dead, just unconscious.

The rumors that he was of royal blood became more and more intense. Three years after the shooting, Hauser was assassinated again. This time he was not so lucky. King Ludwig I of Baden offered a reward of 10,000 guilders to track down the murderer.

This is the famous mystery of Kaspar Hauser, and Georgiana never thought that one day she would be involved in this way.

Of course, this "news" is so new that it hasn't happened yet, so we don't know what will happen in the future.

A princess in trouble is always rescued by a passing prince. Where is my prince?

She thought in despair, but the storyteller gradually closed his eyes and fell into a deep sleep.

It's a pity that the person who slept with her didn't say to have a good dream, so in her dream she entered a scary dark forest with many eight-eyed spiders around.

She screamed, but no one came.

What a nightmare.
