After Konitz finished speaking, he looked at Leopold. No joy appeared on Leopold's face. The future Austrian master was struggling.
"Your Excellency the Prime Minister, is there no second way? I am willing to pay even at a greater price!"
"Your Majesty, I need to remind you that now that you have not been crowned, and without those nobles, your coronation ceremony will become inappropriate, and then the majesty of the Habsburg family that was established through hundreds of years will be destroyed.
once!"
"But, I, but, in the history of the empire, no body of His Majesty has been blasphemed. Do you want my brother, the hero of the Habsburg family, to become the laughing stock of the entire empire!"
Obviously, if there is a second path now, even if the price is higher than it, Leopold will be acceptable. Konitz's idea is right, but he can't help but be fools.
Really, are these people really allowed to touch the body of Joseph II? Then who did Leopold become? The shame of the family? The scum of the empire? What kind of face does Leopold have when it was that time?
See the ancestors of the Habsburg family!
"Your Majesty, I understand, but now everyone doesn't understand. In order to prove your innocence and the prestige of the Habsburg family, you must make a choice. This is my advice to you as an old minister who has assisted the four generations of kings.
!”
Seeing that Leopold had raised his head and closed his eyes, after a while, two tears fell from Leopold's cheeks. Seeing Leopold's tears, Konitz sighed
A sound.
"Okay, Prime Minister, do what you said. But I passed my order and ordered all the intelligence personnel in the empire to immediately track down Maximilian's whereabouts. After finding him, I allowed them to adapt to the situation and even kill Mark.
Samilian will be given the throne of the empire!”
At this moment, Leopold had already hated Maximilian for all this, no. In other words, after Maximilian questioned Leopold at the Habsburg Family Meeting, Leopold
De no longer regards Maximilian as his younger brother II as his greatest enemy of life and death! No one has ever had family affection in the face of power!
After obtaining Leopold's permission, Konitz immediately met the nobles who came from various territories of the Habsburg family.
I have to say that Austria is indeed a strange country. As the dominant Austria, the Habsburg family has many territories, but these territories have their own political systems. Even Austria, the Habsburg family, is the largest and the oldest.
One of the territories.
It has to be said that the customs of Europe are really strange. Every monarch has many titles, and just like William, he even has an earl's title, each title represents the inheritance of a territory or a territory.
For the Chinese, they probably had already unified many of their territories to form a great empire, but this one would not work in Europe.
Since the Roman Empire split, countless aristocratic territories emerged throughout Europe, and this situation was even more serious in the Middle Ages, and annexation and division of aristocratic territories were even more common, but it has never been said that the monarch of any country could rule the country.
All territories. In the Middle Ages, there was a famous saying in Europe: "The lord of the lord is not my lord, and the vassal of the vassal is not my vassal!"
This is actually the most true portrayal of the relationship between European monarchs and subordinates. Take the Holy Roman Empire as an example. The emperor of the empire can dispatch the princes within the empire, but if the emperor directly passes the princes to dispatch the generals under the princes, then
This general could completely refuse the emperor's orders without worrying about being punished, because he had no obligation to serve the emperor, and the princes in the empire were serving the emperor.
Even now, if the leader of the Habsburg family dispatches troops in various territories under the family in the name of the imperial emperor or the leader of the Habsburg family, taking Hungary as an example, then the Hungarian army completely rejects its command.
, because this commander did not give orders in the name of the Hungarian king.
And these many titles are one of the products of this system. According to convention, if the monarch did not have these titles, it would be impossible for him to issue orders to the territory of these titles. Of course, this situation has changed in the present era, because
The feudal system in the Middle World has begun to collapse, but there are still stubborn conservative forces in some places.
Take Hungary as an example. Until as a sound kingdom, Hungary has its own political system, its own government and its own prime minister. Even if Austria and Hungary formed the Austro-Hungarian Empire in later generations, they still had two teams over their respective jurisdictions.
To manage, it can be said that this is also one of the main reasons for the demise of the Austro-Hungarian Empire in later generations.
The Habsburg family's territory occupied more than one fifth of it, but why the Habsburg family could never dominate Europe and dominate the world? The reason is that these independent territories are in this way.
In this case, the rulers of Habsburg all wanted to make changes, but never had one of them succeeded.
It has been a week since Blankov entered the outskirts of Moscow. During this week, although Blankov's army did not engage in large-scale war with the Moscow defenders, it was from the rebel camp.
A large number of reconnaissance cavalry were spread out, which were spread across the twenty-mile area around Moscow, especially the roads to the north and northwest of Moscow were the top priority for the rebels.
Although I don’t know what Blankov wants to do, Rumentsev was not ready to sit in the city and wait for death. Taking advantage of the time when Blankov’s army was resting, Rumentsev spent a lot of energy to convince Moscow city.
The major noble families of the nobles drew guards to help defend Moscow.
Under Rumentsev's request and the persuasion of Duke Gandalf on the side, although he was still unwilling to do so, compared to the previous period of reluctance, most nobles finally agreed to draw part of the armed forces of the family to Rumentsev's.
The trophy obtained by Rumentsev was divided by the major nobles after the war. At the same time, after the war, Rumentsev had to report to the Tsar to commend the performance of Moscow aristocrats in the war.
And some material rewards.
Rumentsev agreed without bargaining at all, but when the nobles showed victory smiles, the old marshal was sneering in his heart.
In fact, these nobles in Moscow City have long been too big to lose their heads. Although these nobles are close to Paul on some issues, no monarch wants to have a huge political force in his own country that he cannot control, although because
The rebels' advance made Paul let go of some ideas, but this does not mean that Paul would completely forget these ideas. At least in Rumentsev's view, Paul was definitely a terrifying genius.
Paul has excellent memory. Anyone who introduces Paul to know can recognize him no matter how long it takes, just like the Guards in St. Petersburg. There were originally 40,000 Guards in St. Petersburg, and one of them was
More than 10,000 people Paul can accurately say his name and number.
Not only that, Paul's ideas on some government affairs were also amazing. Although some ideas were frightening, they had to admit that this idea could indeed have a certain effect on certain things, such as the aristocratic law that Paul once thought about.
Although the Russian Empire did not have many princes in the Holy Roman Empire, the number of nobles in the Russian Empire was definitely not much smaller than that in the Holy Roman Empire. In the era of Catherine II, her countless lovers were all enthroned.
As a nobleman, not only that, even the families of lovers also had many people with noble titles. As a result, the aristocratic titles of the Russian Empire were overprone.
After being used to the changes and changes of the nobles, Paul decided to control the number of nobles in the Russian Empire. He was preparing to issue a decree in the Russian Empire: Without the approval of the Privy Council of the Cabinet, it prohibited the transfer of aristocratic personnel in the army from the army from being transferred, and prohibited non-governmental
People from noble origins will obtain aristocratic status, and their reputations can only be inherited from generation to generation and will not be enthroned.
You should know that the best way to obtain aristocratic title is to join the army. In any country, military merits and nobles account for the vast majority. Of course, not every noble is suitable for survival in the army. Basically, all noble children from extraordinary origins are children.
Often, they gain some qualifications in the army and then move to politics.
If Paul's idea becomes a fact, then the nobles of the entire Russian Empire were tied to Paul's carriage, because under no special circumstances, whether they wanted to inherit the title or the non-heirs of the noble family wanted to obtain it.
All titles must be mixed in the army. In this way, as long as Paul does not let go, these noble children will stay in the army.
Although banning non-noble children from obtaining titles seems to cut off the hope of poor children, this is also a means to effectively control the number of nobles in the empire. After all, even ordinary people, once they are elevated to the status of nobles, most of them will transform into ordinary people.
The damn noble in his eyes.
Paul's idea was only discussed with Rumentsev, and the old marshal's evaluation was: it was amazing but inappropriate. However, it is undeniable that Paul was a genius. He had his own ideas and political ideas. No one could
Let him give up.
So sooner or later, these nobles in Moscow will be dealt with. Looking at the dying people, do you still feel like bargaining?
