Princess Sophie's eyes changed immediately, from indifferent to suggestive, from enthusiastic to indifferent. In short, this woman seemed to have become another stranger in an instant.
I only heard her reply coldly: "Whoever His Highness the Grand Duke likes to associate with is His freedom. As for who I have a good relationship with, that is also my freedom. You should mind your own business!"
This refusal can be said to be quite blunt and forceful, which naturally made Schwarzenberg very unhappy. He always felt that it was better for the Austrians to take charge of matters in Austria. Even the Grand Duchess was an outsider, and outsiders were
There should be an outsider’s awareness!
So he also strengthened his tone slightly and replied a little rudely: "We ministers will naturally do a good job, but His Highness the Grand Duke should also look like His Highness the Grand Duke. What's the point of frequent contact with foreigners? It's said that
It doesn’t sound good if you go out and influence me!”
In fact, he hadn't finished speaking, but before he could continue, Princess Sophie intervened forcefully: "Really? It seems that you think the current situation in Austria is very good? The current situation is really great.
You seem to be very capable!"
This is a slap in the face. The implication is that you ministers have not handled the matter well at all. If the matter had been handled well, what would Austria look like?
Schwarzenberg was unwilling to listen to this, because he did not think that he was responsible for Austria's current predicament at all. In his opinion, it was entirely the fault of Ferdinand I's incompetence. If only his majesty could be smarter,
Could Austria be like this?
But this is pure coaxing. At least it cannot coax Princess Sophie. After being the daughter-in-law of the Habsburg family for many years, what has she not seen? Her uncle who is the emperor is really just a rubber stamp, and
His idiot husband who serves on the regent committee is nothing more than a clay Buddha. Should they be held responsible for their current embarrassment?
In Princess Sophie's view, Austria's current problems are entirely caused by a group of ministers led by Metternich who did not do anything, and then the bastard Schwarzenberg actually slapped the royal family on the head with just a touch of his upper and lower lips.
What is this thing called?
Princess Sophie feels that what Austria needs to rectify most now is these incompetent and useless ministers who have been idle and waiting to die all day long. They should be taught a lesson and let them really work seriously and take responsibility. This is the most important thing.
thing!
Naturally, she had no favorable impression of Schwarzenberg who was trying to shirk the blame. For the time being, she only gave him a blank look because of the power their brother-in-law had. Otherwise, she would have treated him like a shrew.
Schwarzenberg did not expect the Grand Duchess to be so "arrogant" and "unreasonable". In his opinion, the Grand Duke was stupid and the country was in chaos, so the Grand Duchess should regard the country as
Seriously, respect these important ministers who are trying to turn the tide and save the country. Instead of using bad words and bad faces to treat each other, is this the attitude of the royal family towards loyal ministers?
So he somewhat understands Wendy Schgrätz's obsession. No wonder this brother-in-law always insists on letting the more normal Archduke Franz Joseph succeed to the throne instead of letting the current crown prince succeed. As for the attitudes of these two couples, they really
Annoying!
"Madam, I think you are being too harsh... If it were not for us ministers to turn the tide, the royal family would have followed in the footsteps of Louis XVI. I hope you have not forgotten how the French thugs treated their king!"
Princess Sophie's eyes flashed coldly, and her impression of Schwarzenberg became even worse. This was a blatant threat and blackmail. The problem was that she would have been really worried about this problem if she had not discussed it with Duke Alexander Gorchakov.
.After all, the powerful ministers headed by Schwarzenberg and Wendy Schgratz have completely controlled the power of the country. If they really want to use force to dissuade her, they have no choice but to cry silently.
But things are different now. Although Duke Alexander Gorchakov did not promise her anything, there was a guarantee that made her feel at ease. The Duke told her: "Nicolas I will never tolerate another French Revolution."
, the tragedy of executing the king will never be allowed to happen again, and Russia will do everything possible to ensure the natural kingship!"
Princess Sophie would not believe it if it were other promises, but she believed that the Russians were sincere about this promise, because she was familiar with the character of Nicholas I and knew what that supreme person was most worried about, and now if someone or
If the power shows such signs, it will inevitably be attacked by Russia.
Although Nicholas I would not be crazy enough to actually declare war on Austria, he could withdraw the promised military assistance. Princess Sophie saw it clearly. She knew that Schwarzenberg and Wendy Schretz did not have enough.
If they can quell the rebellion alone without Russian military assistance, the Hungarians will be a headache for them. Coupled with the unstable Italy, there will be no way to end the mess by then. The only thing waiting for them is the collapse of Enron. These two
I'm afraid the guy's ending won't be much better than Metternich's.
Naturally, the well-informed Princess Sophie was not afraid at all, and sarcastically said: "I have never seen how the French thugs treat their king... but I have seen how you ministers treat His Majesty and the Crown Prince.
It’s very clear…are you trying to imitate the French thugs?”
Princess Sophie looked at Schwarzenberg without fear, and the persistence in her eyes made the latter frown. She could only hear her continue to mock: "However, in my opinion, now and then, those French thugs in the past have
Just because you can do something doesn't mean you can do it now! If you're not afraid of being infamy for eternity, you can give it a try!"
Looking into Princess Sophie's eyes, Schwarzenberg knew that things were in serious trouble. The Grand Duchess's tone showed no sign of compromise. Once she didn't buy it, he and Wendy Schwartz really wanted to be together.
There is no good way. Unless they are determined to kill Archduke Franz Karl and Princess Sophie, they simply cannot let Archduke Franz Joseph succeed to the throne in advance.
The problem is that they really don't dare to do this, because first of all, they and the powerful people will not agree internally, and in addition, the royal family abroad will not agree, especially the Nigerian who values the status of the monarch more than anything else.
Gula I will really get mad!
Without the support of Russia, neither he nor Wendy Schwartz could stabilize the situation, and they might really fall short and become a sinner for the ages! And he, Schwarzenberg, doesn’t want to be Austria’s sinner!
