Maximilian returned to Vienna and did not become low-key. On the contrary, at the Habsburg family gathering, the Cologne elector proposed the death conspiracy theory of Joseph II. According to Maximilian, Joseph II
It was not because of illness at all, otherwise it would be impossible for the emperor to have no signs before his death, so the emperor's death must be malicious manipulation by someone who is interested!
Maximilian's statement caused an uproar among the entire Habsburg family. There is no doubt that Maximilian's words have represented his publicly questioning the legitimacy of the Leopold regime, and from another
On the one hand, this argument has completely put the battle between Maximilian and Leopold on the table.
When Mary, who was far away in Paris, learned about the death of Joseph II, the Queen, who had become extra strong in recent years, couldn't help but burst into tears. Although Theresa's children were not united, even more than a dozen brothers and sisters.
There are also frequent cases of jealousy among each other, but for Mary, the only ones who made her feel a little affection were Joseph II and Leopold.
As the leading elder brother among brothers and sisters, Joseph II received harsh royal education since childhood. Although he did not spend a long time with other brothers and sisters, it is precisely because of this elder brother, the younger brothers and sisters below are all
He was extremely respectful. One reason was that Joseph II treated his brother and sister in harmony, and the other reason was that he had no chance of having any dirty things with his younger brothers and sisters below.
Leopold, if anyone has the best personal relationship with Mary, it must be this Leopold. To this youngest sister, Leopold has always treated Christine like William.
I will not be stingy with my own favor. You should know that after the outbreak of the French Revolution, Leopold sent people countless times to help Mary leave France. After Mary went to the guillotine, the emperor undoubtedly showed a sister
The image of a good brother who revenges, and every time the anti-French alliance, Austria is always a pioneer!
Some people may say that Leopold is for his own benefit, but it is undeniable that whenever Leopold makes up his mind to fight France, Queen Mary's death is always one of the factors that prompts Leopold to make up his mind.
.
The death of Joseph II not only made Mary sad, but also the French executives including Louis XVI were sad about the death of Joseph II. You should know that Joseph II is one of France's most determined ally. Every time
When France had a disagreement with Britain internationally, Austria would always stand behind France. Therefore, the French government led by Louis XVI expressed deep condolences to Austria for the death of Joseph II.
After learning that Leopold inherited the throne left by Joseph II, although Mary was still in sorrow, it is undeniable that Mary had a little more relief in this sorrow. As mentioned in the previous article, in Habsburg
Among the family, the deepest relationship with Mary is Joseph II and Leopold. As for other brothers and sisters, Mary is not happy with them, so Mary is obviously happy about Leopold's coming to power.
.
It is undeniable that Queen Teresa is indeed one of the greatest female monarchs in European history, but for her family, Teresa did not fulfill her responsibilities as a mother. Queen Teresa's favor for her children is also
Not waiting anymore, this leads to some children who are not valued and envious and jealous of their children who are deeply loved by the Queen!
As Queen Theresa's youngest child, Mary was undoubtedly extremely favored by Queen Theresa, and even the husband Mary married was incomparable to the rest of her daughters.
In this way, those neglected children naturally feel jealous of Mary, and once jealousy takes root in someone's heart, it is basically impossible to be driven away.
Just the next day, at the warning of Mary, the Kingdom of France issued a letter to Austria. Among them, Louis XVI deeply remembered what Joseph II made about the friendship between France and Austria.
The contribution was dismantled, and France recognized Leopold as the legal heir to Joseph II. Anyone who was hostile to Leopold would be regarded as provoking the powerful French kingdom.
It can be said that Mary just used her tears to tie France and Leopold to a rope. From now on, anyone targeting Leopold will carefully examine their behavior. Because they
What we need to face is not only Leopold, but also France, the European powerhouse on the side!
Of course, everything that happened in France has not reached Vienna so far, so after questioning Leopold at the Habsburg family meeting, Maximilian urgently went to the Austrian government, who openly claimed in the government.
He was suspicious of the cause of Joseph II's death, and he hoped that the Austrian government could organize an investigation team to thoroughly investigate the cause of Joseph II's death. Although this nonsensical request was decisively rejected by the Austrian government, in Vienna, Maximilian's remarks
It still caused an uproar.
Countless supporters of Joseph II took to the streets under the organization of those who were interested. Although the slogans they shouted were to thoroughly investigate the cause of the emperor's death, it is undeniable that the actions of these people were the most serious provocation to Leopold!
"Maximilian, it's too much to deceive people!"
At this moment, Leopold sat in his palace and cursed his once favorite younger brother loudly. Not only was the imperial prime minister Kaunitz, but also a large number of other people sitting opposite him, including the imperial minister of finance and foreign affairs, etc.
At this moment, senior officials and politicians gathered in front of Leopold.
Just as Leopold was furious about Maximilian's remarks, the Imperial Justice Minister Arikshay, who was sitting opposite Leopold, had to speak:
"His Majesty the King, since His Highness Maximilian spread rumors in Vienna, the empire's secret police have arrested more than 200 gangsters with ulterior motives, but these gangsters have denied that their actions are related to His Highness Maximilian, so...
..............."
"So, you the Ministry of Justice has no way to convict me, right?"
Looking at Alexey's hesitant look, how could Leopold not understand what the judicial minister was trying to do? But apart from questioning, Leopold cannot make a big fuss about the cabinet. After all, this is the time.
It is the most sensitive morale in the whole of Austria.
"My Majesty, I'm very sorry, the Ministry of Justice has done its best."
"Your efforts are simply not worthy of my trust in you!"
Leopold angrily pissed off at Alexey, and then he asked Intnell, the foreign minister of the empire:
"What kind of remarks have countries made about the death of my prince now, my Foreign Minister!"
"Dear Your Majesty, as far as I know, with the death of Joseph II, the ambassadors of various countries in Vienna expressed their condolences for the death of His Majesty Joseph II, but among the ambassadors of various countries, except for the French ambassadors, expressed their congratulations to you
In addition, the rest of the countries are still waiting and watching, but according to our contact, the Prussian ambassadors and Swedish ambassadors have shown signs of letting go, while the British ambassadors and Russian ambassadors are more silent.
"You mean, my throne ceremony that was originally scheduled for next week may not be recognized by ambassadors of various countries?"
"Your Majesty, we have done our best!"
"Fuck! I tell you Intnel, if you don't get good news before I ascend the throne, you won't be your foreign minister. I think there must be more talents in the empire than you are suitable for being a foreign minister.
!”
"Your Majesty, I'm afraid!"
Intner, who was frightened and immediately bowed to Leopold, his head lowered deeply. At this moment, Intner knew that the words of the Your Highness in front of him were not joking with him, but could have become a reality.
.
The ministers after Intner were silent. They were all politicians of the empire, and it was not easy to climb to such a position among the millions of people in the empire. They did not want to get angry at this time.
The new master of the empire in front of him would otherwise have been ruined by decades of hard work.
"Your Majesty, I don't think you need to worry. According to the Prussians' peace agreement, sooner or later the Prussians will support you publicly, while the Swedes are the Prussians' followers, and as for the British, they are busy plundering colonies all over the world,
As long as we do not violate their interests, the British will not interfere in our internal affairs at all. In the Russian Empire, I think Blankov's affairs are enough for the Tsar."
Seeing the trembling appearance of the people around him, Konitz, the Prime Minister of the Empire, had to stand up and inspire people.
Leopold relaxed a little after hearing Counitz's words. Since Maximilian posted the conspiracy theory of the emperor's death at the Habsburg family meeting, Leopold clearly felt that his gaze had increased.
All those bewitched people questioned the legitimacy of Leopold ascending the throne. Too many doubts during this period have made Leopold look overwhelmed.
If Leopold cannot handle this matter perfectly, his status will definitely be greatly shaken. However, the current situation has also made Leopold realize that he and Maximilian cannot coexist at all.
It's right.
Leopold cannot accept the existence of a person who can threaten his position, and Leopold has not been crowned the crown of the Holy Roman Empire. It can be said that Maximilian has now become Leopold's crown of the crown of the Emperor of the Crown of the Empire.
One of the biggest opponents.
"His Excellency Konitz, I need you to draft a plan for Maximilian in the shortest time. I want His Highness Cologne to shut his mouth forever!"
Finally, in the face of power, Leopold threw his brotherhood behind his head.
PS: I've drunk too much and I've gone to bed. Good night, everyone!
