William I regretted marrying Augusta. He felt that this wife was getting further and further away from the wife he imagined. When he just got married, he only felt that this wife lacked femininity, but now he feels that
This wife has no use except making him more and more miserable.
It's a pity that William I couldn't get a divorce yet. It's not that this was still the Middle Ages. They could only get married but not divorce. There were many high-ranking nobles who divorced in the 19th century. But, there is a saying that divorce is possible but it will most likely be very embarrassing.
Will be ostracized by the aristocratic circle.
Especially with the identity and status of William I, he must be more cautious about marriage issues. Once divorce brings about, the chain reactions and troubles will be endless. He is absolutely unwilling to take this road unless it is extremely urgent.
of.
But without divorce, William I felt extremely painful because what Augusta did this time was so outrageous that he couldn't tolerate it at all. He suspected that if he continued to endure it, the next time he would be waiting for him
It would be an even more painful scene. And he shuddered just thinking about such a scene!
William I shuddered, because now he was passive enough, because he didn't know how to explain to his eldest brother. How could he tell his eldest brother that his wife was very restless and had ambitions to interfere in government affairs, and yet he was so determined?
Oppose to fall out with Austria.
If he really said that, he would really have no shame in continuing to hang out in the family, because the unspoken rule formed in the aristocratic circle in the past thousand years is: only those men who are cowardly and unable to control their wives will have their wives interfere in government affairs, and will be harassed by their wives.
Arrangement.
But William I was really not such a coward! How could he be dominated by his wife if he was so courageous and hard-blooded? It would be embarrassing to say so.
For the first time, William I had the idea of retreating. He really wanted to leave. He had no face to face his elder brother. Anyway, he was in a state of sitting on pins and needles at the moment. It was so restless!
However, this state did not last long. As soon as he took the medicine, Frederick William IV immediately summoned William I without taking a rest. He was also eager to know the final result of the matter, and was also looking forward to seeing Brand.
Earl of Denburg made a mistake, because at this moment he really did not want to see a scandal in the royal family, which would make him miserable.
It's just that whatever you are afraid of will come to you. When William I hesitantly told the result, Frederick William IV's eyes suddenly darkened and he almost fainted from anger. It took him a long time before he trembled and asked.
:
"Then what should we do now? What should we do!"
William I didn't know what to do. He just saw that his eldest brother was so angry that he had to express something no matter what, so he could only bite the bullet and replied: "I plan to divorce her. A woman like her is not worthy."
Staying in the Hohenzollern family, the sight of her makes me sick to my stomach!"
Frederick William IV's face was gloomy and he was silent for a long time. Then he sighed and replied slowly: "Don't be anxious yet. There may be hidden secrets in the matter. We can't be too hasty... Well, besides, at this time, the royal family
Stability must be maintained, we cannot have any more dishonorable situations..."
Frederick William IV's intention was very clear, that is, the lid must be closed, and stability should be given priority at this time. However, this does not mean that he is prepared to be lenient to Augusta. He is simply forced by the situation.
If you don't hold back, once you get past this limelight, you will definitely settle accounts with Augusta National.
Even here, Frederick William IV did not forget to warn: "Watch your wife and don't let her get into trouble again!"
For William I, his brother's last instructions were really embarrassing. It was obvious that Frederick William IV was extremely angry, otherwise he would not have spoken like this. William I also knew that he had to take action, although he could not
It would cause too much impact, but she also had to tell Augusta that she had offended against the scales and must pay the price for it.
After leaving the palace, William I went straight home, and then ordered all the servants in the mansion to be replaced, including Augusta's personal maid. It was obvious that this was a disguised form of house arrest. This undoubtedly made Augusta
Star was surprisingly angry and immediately found William I to protest:
"Why do you want to replace Alice? She is an old man I brought from Weimar. She is loyal to me and works hard without complaining. Why do you want to transfer her!"
When faced with Augusta's question, William I responded indifferently: "Because she is suspected of being a spy, anyone who is not reliable enough, no matter how senior or outstanding she is, cannot stay in my house!"
"
Augusta protested angrily: "Nonsense! This is totally revenge!"
William I still replied so coldly: "This is for your own good. I think it is best for you to cut off contact with those unscrupulous people. This will save you and our family from more embarrassment!"
Before Augusta could continue to protest, William I continued to add: "In addition, you are not allowed to leave the mansion without my permission, you are not allowed to attend any salons and balls, and even no guests are allowed to meet you without my permission!"
Augusta was shaking with anger, and she roared: "You want to put me under house arrest?!"
"It's not house arrest!" William I replied in an endless tone, "It's to ensure your safety. The current situation is very chaotic. It is not ruled out that mobs may threaten your personal safety. I am just in case!"
Augusta was stunned. She felt that William I's reaction was too outrageous and excessive. It was simply to lock her up and completely restrict her personal freedom.
"I refuse!" She shouted loudly and roared: "I will not accept such an arrangement, let alone this so-called kindness! No one can imprison me!"
William I was still so calm. He glanced at Augusta coldly and said disdainfully: "You have to accept it if you don't want to. This is my will, and..."
Augusta roared angrily: "Your will? I don't accept it. I want to speak to His Majesty and the Queen and tell them your atrocities!"
At this time, William I sneered and snorted contemptuously: "What I want to tell you is that this is both my will and your Majesty's will! His Majesty was more angry than ever after learning about what you did.
Your treasonous behavior is disgusting! He personally ordered me to discipline you well so that you will not cause trouble again! Listen up and be honest, if you dare to do anything again, we will never be polite to you!"
