Augusta also agreed with the old mother's opinion and decided to meet Li Xiao first to see what ability this legendary cousin had that could make their whole family weak. However, the changes were always faster than planned.
Before she could find Li Xiao to find out more about William I, she had already returned to Berlin.
William I's personality was quite straightforward. After hearing the whole story from his wife, he waved his hand and said directly: "Don't bother me, I'll go see him in person!"
Augusta wanted to give some more advice, but William I said domineeringly: "This is a man's matter, and you women don't need to get involved. I want to see what this boy is capable of!"
Looking at William I who looked confident and didn't want to listen to any opinions, Augusta sighed secretly. Her husband was too chauvinistic. He always said the same thing about everything. As long as he decided, he had to follow his wishes.
Come on. This was the case during the last revolution in Berlin, and it is still the case now. There is no way around it.
Sometimes Augusta wants to complain about the bad temper of the Hohenzollern family. Does he have to be so tough? Politics is not only tough, let alone iron-blooded. Sometimes gentle methods are also necessary, so blindly
Sooner or later something will happen if you are strong.
However, Augusta also knew that she could not convince William I at all, so she did not try this in vain, but took a step back and suggested: "Then I will go with you!"
According to William I's wishes, he was not willing to take Augusta with him to meet Li Xiao, because he believed that politics was a man's job, and the main job of a woman, even a noble lady like Augusta, was to be a husband.
You should teach your children not to get involved in politics.
In fact, he had been dissatisfied with Augusta's interference in political affairs before. Just on the way back from London, his wife did something extraordinary. At that time, they met Bimarck on the road, and he
This wife actually had a secret meeting with Bismarck, and hoped that Bismarck would help him become the King of Prussia.
To be honest, when William I first heard about this situation, he was furious. Not only because Augusta conspired to overthrow his brother Frederick in a "coup". William IV's approach was too outrageous and ridiculous. More
What's ridiculous is that when she planned such a big thing, she only found a member of the Berlin State Council. How much energy can a small member of the parliament have?
Anyway, William I didn't like the Berlin state parliamentarian Bismarck at all. He thought this guy was just a small shrimp, and he had just been disgraced by the Revolutionary Party. He had no good impressions of parliamentarians and the like.
, he deeply felt that although the main force in the revolution was the mob, the driving forces behind the revolution were the increasingly restless bourgeois congressmen. Without their fanning the flames, things would never have been so troublesome.
And now Augusta actually wants to cooperate with the enemy, and is also plotting to overthrow his eldest brother. How can I bear this!
Of course, this is not because William I is very loyal to his eldest brother Frederick William IV, but because this arrogant guy believes that even if there is no coup, the position of the future king must be his, and it is what he wants.
He doesn't need charity or help from others. He will definitely reach out and take off the king's laurel crown and put it on his head. He doesn't need any help!
All in all, after this incident, William I had a strong opinion of Augusta, and this time Duke Alexander sent a special envoy to contact him, and she brought her family to interfere in it, which made things difficult for her.
William I was even more dissatisfied.
[I am the crown prince and future king. Why do you make your own decisions about my family’s affairs! Even if you want to test the background of that bastard Grand Duke, you have to ask my opinion first. You just make your own decisions without asking anything. What is this?
mean!】
William I became very angry when he thought of these things, so he bluntly rejected Augusta's suggestion again: "No, you don't need to participate in this little matter, I'll just go and solve it!"
Augusta also clearly felt William I's displeasure, so she did not make a strong request, but agreed after a few reminders. However, after William I left, her face became very ugly.
"Augusta, why do you look so ugly!"
Facing her mother, Augusta finally confided: "William...William's mood is very wrong. He didn't treat me like this before!"
Maria Pavlovna wondered: "What's wrong?"
Augusta told the whole story in detail, and then said quietly: "He has been different since he came back from London. He also deliberately left me when he went to Hamburg and went alone, as if he was avoiding me on purpose!
"
Maria Pavlovna comforted her: "Maybe it was the revolution that made him agitated. You also know how much the last failure dealt a huge blow to him... A person as proud as him can't bear this the most."
Now, with so much pressure now, it’s inevitable that your mood will have ups and downs, so don’t think too much about it!”
But Augusta shook his head and said: "I don't think that's the case. I thought it was because of what you said before, but today I clearly felt disgust from his eyes. He didn't take me there on purpose.
The more I want to go, the less willing he is to take me there. He clearly hates me!"
Maria Pavlovna snorted. To be honest, she regretted it now. She regretted bringing Li Xiao to meet her daughter and son-in-law. Maybe keeping William and Augusta away from politics is the most correct choice now.
It's just that this will never be possible, because who made William I the prince and crown prince? The rest of the Hohenzollern family can not participate in politics, but William I can't! This is probably his fate!
Maria Pavlovna sighed in her heart and replied slowly: "Sometimes you just like to interfere in these things too much. What William needs most now is not you to help him make plans and come up with solutions. What he needs most is
It's your tenderness, your tenderness is ten thousand times more precious than those things!"
As she spoke, Maria Pavlovna sighed again, touched her daughter's hair and said, "You have been fond of these things since you were a child. At that time, I felt that you were born in a family like ours and it would be helpful to know more about it.
It’s not a bad thing. But it’s not right if you become more and more enthusiastic about all this after you get married! What William needs most is a wife who cares for him, not a counselor who helps him make suggestions! You should be more like a wife
