Sometimes it’s really just that small, you just do what you’re afraid of. Although Augusta is a neurotic woman, her ability to hit a snake within seven inches is not that high. She knows how to do the most harm to Li Xiao.
, can make someone get out immediately in despair.
Soon Augusta unexpectedly met the Austrian ambassador to Prussia, Count von Kaunitz and his wife, at a dance. After a friendly and joyful conversation, the count knew about Li Xiao's existence.
and purpose.
"Is this really a good idea?" Alexandra asked with a worried look on her face.
Augusta was very confident and replied confidently: "What's wrong? Maintaining the Holy Alliance and the brotherly relationship between Prussia and Austria is the most correct decision! William will thank me for doing this in the future!"
"
However, Alexandra did not think that William I would thank Augusta, because she knew her brother-in-law too well. He would never be willing to depend on others, and the Hohenzollern family had never been Austrian.
The younger brother always unconsciously wants to replace him. Now Augusta is openly contradicting her husband. Even if she can disturb Huang's secret meeting, she can't win back her husband's heart. It always feels like the gain is not worth the loss!
So Alexandra advised again: "I think it's better for you to talk to William first. If you act behind his back, it will only make him more angry!"
But Augusta didn't care, because she never did it just because she was angry, but she felt from the bottom of her heart that she was smarter than her husband and that her choice was the right one, so she deliberately did this.
I do it just to prove to my husband who is smarter!
In other words, this is actually her demonstration. Through this demonstration, she wants to clarify her right to speak politically and consolidate her family status. That's why she will not listen to advice and just insists on going her own way.
Soon Count von Kaunitz issued a strong protest to Frederick William IV through personal channels. He asked Prussia not to make small moves within the German Confederation behind Austria's back. It was best to clarify its relationship with Austria immediately.
, those villains who try to undermine the relationship between Austria and Prussia must be expelled immediately.
Needless to say, when such news was placed on the desk of Frederick William IV, this mediocre king was shocked. Because the secrets of he and William I's little moves were still very confidential, and they were afraid that Austria would notice their little moves.
, and now the Austrians have noticed that the operation has just begun, what is going on, and who leaked the news!
He asked Count Brandenburg viciously: "Have you found the source of the leak?"
The latter actually looked confused. He was hurriedly called to the palace and questioned face to face. To be honest, he was stunned and didn't understand what happened.
【Leak?】
【It doesn’t make sense?】
【Not many people know about it at all!】
[Besides, isn’t Prince William personally handling this matter? Why are you asking me the other way around? 】
The Earl of Brandenburg felt that he had been wronged, but he also knew that William I was the de facto prince. If he reported William I to his face, he would probably not get any good results, so he was wise and tactful.
replied:
"Your Majesty, I will investigate this matter immediately. But as far as I know, a very limited number of people know about the relevant matters, even the Foreign Minister does not know about it. But now it has been discovered by the Austrians. This is really strange!"
Frederick William IV also felt strange, because he had never been in good health, so even though he had to personally take charge of government affairs due to the revolution, he really did not have the energy to do some things himself, and basically left it to Brandenburg
The earl left William I to wait for a few trusted people to handle the matter. For example, military affairs were left to the earl of Brandenburg, and some more secret political affairs were left to William I.
William I was his most trusted younger brother, so he naturally would not suspect that William I was deliberately leaking secrets, so at first he thought something was wrong with Old Qiu Ba, Earl of Brandenburg, but after Lao Qiu Ba's reminder, he suddenly realized that William
Is there possibly something wrong with this side of my life?
Frederick William IV turned to his younger brother: "William, are you reliable anywhere?"
William I was actually confused. At first he thought it was the Earl of Brandenburg who was to blame, because he was a little envious and jealous of Qiu Ba, who took over the power of the country on his behalf, because the Earl of Brandenburg now controlled
The power was all his before, but now he wants to help this guy. Do you think this is irritating or not?
So after the news leaked out initially, he was angry and a little bit laughing at Count Brandenburg's joke, but now that my brother has turned to him, he...he is even more annoyed.
How could he, the dignified Prince of Prussia, have fallen off the rails, and when had he fallen off the rails before? Isn’t this too small an underestimation of him? It’s really irritating!
So he replied without thinking: "There is absolutely no problem on my side. Anyone who knows the relevant information is extremely reliable and is willing to die for Prussia!"
At this time, Frederick William IV was in pain. His right-hand man and his right-hand man all said that it had nothing to do with them, but the news happened to be leaked. It couldn’t have been leaked by the Russians! But now his right-hand man and right-hand man were so sure that if he insisted on
If I go to check, it seems like I don't trust them.
【Why is it so difficult to be the king!】
Frederick William IV lamented in his heart, and could only say to Xini: "Forget it, you each know this matter and just check it out on your own side. I believe this should be an accident... and the most important thing now is
The problem is not to find the source of the leak, but how to respond to the Austrians!"
Count Brandenburg said without thinking: "Now that the matter has been exposed, it is useless for us to do anything. We must give in and comply with the Austrian requirements and reduce the big deal to the trivial matter!"
Before he finished speaking, William I burst out: "Nonsense! Now the Austrians are only protesting covertly through private channels. I don't think they are testing our intentions... If we choose to keep quiet, we will be asking for trouble! And this will make our
No matter what your Russian friends will think, doing this is simply digging your own grave!"
Frederick William IV was also very dissatisfied. He felt that the Earl of Brandenburg had his head kicked by a donkey and that what he was talking about was all nonsense. He was suicidal.
So he immediately said: "Yes, it must not affect our good relations with our Russian friends. How can we be so hasty!"
