Just when Napoleon was escorting the gang of members back to the Brittany Club, William was also taking Lilissa back to Brandenburg. All in all, William's trip to Copenhagen was a success and a victory.
Politically, William determined the government structure of Denmark. Although Denmark still maintains the dignity of an independent kingdom on the surface, in fact, the so-called Danish Parliament and Cabinet are just empty shelves and decorations, and Denmark holds the actual power.
It was in the hands of provincial officials in three provinces, all of whom were Prussians.
In terms of jurisdiction, the three provinces are not under the jurisdiction of Denmark but directly under Brandenburg. Regarding the internal affairs of the three provinces, the Danish Parliament and the Cabinet only have the right to advise but not have jurisdiction.
However, the Danes did not have a fierce conflict over the Prussian seizure of power. One reason was that the Prussian army was stationed on Danish soil. The powerful Prussian army was enough to deter any unruly people, and the other reason was that wonderful misunderstanding.
.
The existence of Lilissa made most of the nobles accept the rule of Prussia, because they saw hope in Lilissa. A person can have nothing, but he cannot live without hope. If there is no hope, then a person will live in the world.
You can't call him a human being, but a zombie.
William could understand the Danes' thoughts, and William didn't mind giving them some hope. William knew that Prussia had just conquered Denmark, and he could only let the Danes see that under Prussia's rule, they could still have hope, such as the future queen.
will be Danish. And the future king will also be half Danish. People's imagination will definitely go towards the best. In this way, at least half of the Danes will be stable, and the remaining
Naturally, less than half is nothing to worry about.
When William was crowned in Copenhagen, far away in St. Petersburg, a silent storm was about to sweep through the center of the Russian Empire.
On April 21 this year, various cities across the Russian Empire began to celebrate enthusiastically under the organization of the government. As the center of the Russian Empire, St. Petersburg’s celebrations were naturally vigorous. Starting from April 19, the government
A long row of colorful booths was erected in the central square of St. Petersburg. Food and drinks are served at any time in these booths. Not only that, starting from the 19th, pubs, restaurants and opera halls throughout the city of St. Petersburg will be opened.
It is open to all citizens free of charge and will last for five days.
The reason for such an event is that April 21 this year is the 60th birthday of Her Majesty the Empress of the Russian Empire Catherine II! Such a grand festival. You let the officials of the Russian Empire
How could you not want to do everything you can to please the queen?
However, what was incompatible with the scene of the prosperous times was that Paul was standing on the top of the attic of his palace, looking at the happy crowd gathered not far away, his face was full of gloom.
"Teacher Pan Ning, do you know how much these celebrations cost?"
"This... Your Highness, I don't think it will be less than one million rubles."
As he said that, Pan Ning glanced at Paul cautiously. There was no other expression on Paul's gloomy face, but this gloominess made people feel really stressed.
"Humph, Penning, you really underestimate these officials. In order to please that person, as far as I know, St. Petersburg alone spent three million rubles. If you include all the cities in the entire Russian Empire, then this amount
The cost will be astronomical! The environment around us is still not optimistic, and those officials should be killed for actually spending a lot of money on such a place!"
Pan Ning discovered that when Paul said he should be killed, his hands tightly grasped the wooden window frame on the wall, and veins popped out on the back of his hands. It was obvious that Paul's heart was full of violence at this moment.
When she saw this, Pan Ning's already hunched waist bent even further. It was obvious that she and Paul were alone together now. If Paul treated him as a punching bag at this time, he would be doomed.
Seeing Pan Ning who looked very afraid of him, Paul felt a little better. Although he was not a stingy person, when he saw that those officials actually used the money from the treasury in such a place, he just wanted to use his sword to kill him.
Killed all those officials, but he knew that it was impossible for him to do this now.
"Bang Bang, Your Highness, Her Majesty the Queen, please come over."
There was a knock on the door, and before Paul could speak, a respectful word came in. When he heard the Queen's invitation, Paul's eyes were full of wariness. This look was noticed by Pan Ning who was standing aside, and he couldn't help but feel sorry for this.
The mother and son felt helpless.
As Catherine II aged and Paul became more and more mature, the Queen was always wary of Paul. The Queen never allowed Paul to go out to inspect the army, nor did he allow Paul to approach senior generals in the army.
, and even the cabinet refused to let Paul enter to observe.
As the crown prince, one can imagine how frustrated Paul felt. However, if it were not for the Queen's 60th birthday celebration, Paul would even be happier, because he has received accurate news from the palace, that is, in recent months
Her Majesty the Queen often coughs up blood!
This is certainly not good news for the queen and her favorites, but for Paul, this news is simply the best news he has heard in the past few decades. Although whether the queen is sick and what kind of disease she has, the whole
It can be said that the palace is very taboo, but as long as you often cough up blood, it is not a good thing.
Last month, what Paul could confirm was that the Queen coughed up blood three times. Even if it is not counted as unconfirmed news, just talking about these three times of coughing up blood, such a frequency is not necessarily a sign of health, and if this disease is
If it was easy to cure, then the Queen would have been cured long ago, but now although the Queen often forces a smile, the sickly white color on her face makes it clear at a glance that the Queen's body is completely unhealthy.
After hearing the Queen's summons, Paul and Pan Ning hurriedly packed up their clothes, then Pan Ning opened the door, and the two of them walked towards the palace of Catherine II under the guidance of their attendants.
On the way to Catherine II's palace, Paul met many familiar faces, including a large number of dignitaries at the top of the Russian Empire.
When Paul walked into the palace, the palace was already packed. Hundreds of people were crowding in front of Paul, which made Paul feel even more irritable. Naturally, the Queen asked him to come here this time to celebrate.
It was his sixtieth birthday, otherwise, the Queen would not have summoned this son who did not please her.
Noble men and women dressed in fine clothes flashed in front of Paul. Except for a few nobles and officials who greeted Paul with extremely hidden eyes, most of the nobles regarded Paul as the crown prince as nothing.
Paul seemed not to be surprised by this. He walked to his wife Maria Feodorovna and smiled at her. Feodorovna saw her husband's smile and returned the favor. Although the Crown Prince
She was alienated from the Queen because she was not favored by her, but the Crown Princess had a high reputation in the aristocratic circle.
The reason for this is that the Crown Princess gave birth to a good son - Alexander I Pavlovich. As Paul's eldest son and the future heir to the Russian Empire, Catherine II loved this grandson far more than
After giving birth to his own son, Alexander was taken away from Paul when he was more than one year old. After that, except for some celebrations, Paul did not want to see his son at all. Of course, Feodorovna, as Alexander’s
The queen still looked at her mother with special eyes, and it was obvious that the queen did not want Alexander to lack maternal love.
And Alexander did not live up to the expectations of the Queen. As he grew up, Alexander made his voice heard in all aspects of the top management of the Russian Empire. Although Alexander is only twelve years old, this does not prevent him from gaining huge influence in the Russian Empire.
Catherine II deliberately shaped Alexander into a perfect monarch. Even when Catherine II was handling political affairs, Alexander would be held by his mother and watch his grandmother handle government affairs. More
What is unexpected is that under the organization of Catherine II, little Alexander actually gained the allegiance of the St. Petersburg Royal Guard. This is a treatment that even Paul did not receive!
There are even rumors that the empress is planning to wait until Alexander comes of age to directly surpass Paul and become the crown prince of the Russian Empire!
Fortunately, Feodorovna acted as a buffer between father and son. Although in the eyes of outsiders, Crown Prince Paul was cowardly, shy, and even a little neurotic, as Paul's pillow, Feodorovna was very fond of her.
It can be said that no one has a deeper understanding of her husband than her.
Fyodorovna sometimes admired her husband's secretiveness, and because when the two were alone, Paul's behavior outside was very unusual, which also made the relationship between the husband and wife not good.
Broken but very harmonious.
"Alexander was arranged by Her Majesty the Queen to enter together at the back, so we may have to wait for a while."
Feodorovna looked at her husband and said softly. She knew the depression in her husband's heart, so many times, Feodorovna would behave very gently.
When he heard his wife mention Alexander, Paul's face changed. It was unrealistic to say that Paul did not miss his eldest son. As his eldest son and the future heir of the Romanov dynasty, Paul worried about his child day and night. (To be continued.
