At this moment, inside a manor outside Vienna, Maximilian, who was secretly wanted by Leopold, was hiding here, and Maximilian's relatives had been arranged by him to send back to Cologne. Originally, Maximilian was going to leave, and he had learned through several channels that Leopold had issued a killing order to him. Staying in Vienna is undoubtedly the stupidest choice. However, Maximilian was full of ambitions for that position, and it was even more uncomfortable to watch Leopold ascend to the Habsburg leader.
So he wanted to stay in Vienna, and he wanted to pull Leopold from which supreme position he led the Habsburg family to glory!
Of course, the most dangerous place is actually the safest place. Outside, Maximilian has forged some information that he had abandoned and went to Cologne with his family. Moreover, the manor he is hiding at does not belong to Maximilian. At least in the official registration book, this manor belongs to an elderly nobleman named Gryffindor in the city of Vienna.
At present, there are only three days before Leopold's crowning ceremony. In these three days, Maximilian must complete all his deployments in order to make a splash at Leopold's crowning ceremony and pull him off. As for Leopold's best heir, Maximilian believes that he has no choice!
Looking at the buds revealed on the branches outside the window, William suddenly wanted to go out for a walk. At the beginning of this year, William planned to inspect the territory of the entire Prussian Kingdom, but in the end, due to the huge changes within the Russian Empire, the inspection plan was stranded. However, this does not mean that William completely gave up the idea of inspecting the kingdom.
He thought of it and did it. This sentence has always been regarded as his motto by William, and at this moment, it is obvious that William followed his motto.
"Boel, prepare the carriage, I want to go out. And let Hond invite Princess Christine and Princess Anna, so I said I would invite two ladies to go out for a walk together!"
Hearing William's orders, Buel, who was serving the side, immediately saluted and walked out of the room. Looking at Buel's back, William suddenly felt whether his royal chief had worked hard for the kingdom for too long.
Since the reign of Frederick the Great, Buel has ascended the position of the king's royal family. He not only controlled everything in the Prussian palace, but also had a very large intelligence agency in his hands. Later, with William's delegating power, Buel's authority increased day by day. With William's trust, Buel also won the title of "King's Loyal Dog" in Prussia.
But Buel is already in his sixties, and his body is getting worse day by day, at least in the past two months. Buel has disappeared by William at least four times due to physical reasons. Although it is not many times, as the king's loyal dog, Buel's importance in some aspects is not comparable to that of ordinary people.
So at this moment, William realized that it was necessary to train a successor for Buel. The successor first had to be absolutely loyal to William, and secondly, he had to be outstanding in his abilities. Otherwise, he would still have a Prussian-like Jinyiwei in his hand. If such a person is not loyal and has no outstanding abilities, it would be a disaster for both Prussia and William.
In William's eyes, Hornder, as the deputy chief of the royal family, performed well. Hornder, who came from a noble family, was praised for his treatment of people and things, and he was deeply appreciated by Buel. Hornder also occupies a very important position among the intelligence agencies controlled by Buel, but it may be because Hornder is more intelligent and William does not trust him very much in some aspects.
Another royal deputy general manager, Tribene, made William feel very relieved. Horned and Tribene’s two royal deputy general managers were responsible for the management of Brandenburg Palace and the Worry Palace respectively. William, who had been in the Worry Palace for a long time, naturally had more contact with Tribene, and William loved Tribene’s personality very much. This deputy general manager is very honest and sometimes he is confused about his work. However, he never loses his chain at critical moments. Perhaps it is very appropriate to describe Tribene as wise and foolish.
Who will take over Bouel's position has made William a little nervous. The two deputy managers are about the same age, and neither of them is over forty years old. In this case, they are evenly matched in any aspect. Such a multiple-choice question is extremely entangled.
However, this matter is not something that can be urgent for a while. At least the heavy responsibility on Buel's shoulders cannot be taken off at once, and William would not allow him to do so.
After a while, Buel and Hornder came to William's room together.
"Your Majesty, the carriage you want is ready!"
"Your Majesty, His Highness Christine and His Highness Anna are very happy after receiving your invitation. His Highness Princess is already waiting for you in the hall, and His Highness Princess Anna may take half an hour to come out!"
When William frowned and asked:
"What is she doing now, why does it take half an hour?"
"Your Majesty, Princess Anna asked me to return to you. She needs to re-put her makeup, so it will take some time."
William was speechless when he heard Hornder's words.
Although he had a date and waited for his girlfriend for an hour in his previous life, William, who had traveled to this era, had never waited for any woman except his relatives. As the king of Prussia, even though William had just summoned him temporarily, the summoned people immediately moved closer to William. Even if he had to put on makeup, he would have completed the process as quickly as possible. With less than twenty years of traveling to this era, Anna was the first woman who could openly let William wait for half an hour.
I wanted to urge it, but if I really did that, it seemed to be a damaging attitude when it was spread, so William's face returned to calmness and nodded and said:
"Since Princess Anna is still half an hour, then Hornder, go to Princess Anna to wait. As soon as Anna comes out, you will take her to the hall. I'll talk to Christine first."
As he said that, William tidied up his collar and then walked towards the door.
Christine sitting in the hall was quite uneasy. She either touched here or touched there. Although she had already played with the things here, the princess would still involuntarily play with them again every time.
Standing on the stairs and watching Christine in the hall jumping toward the large vase placed beside the pillars of the hall, William's heart trembled immediately. God knows why, Christine is simply a vase killer anyway. Take the vase placed in the hall for example. Christine has reimbursed at least double digits in recent years, and the third reimbursement of the copper-tipped cloisonné enamel (also known as cloisonné) that was said to be from China, William's heart hurts even more.
"Christine, my dearest sister, come here!"
For the safety of the vase that had just been purchased, William had to shout Christine in a rather stingy tone. When he heard William's voice, the little girl's attention was indeed diverted.
"elder brother!"
Christine shouted kindly at William who was walking down the stairs, but to William's surprise, Christine just turned her head for a moment, and her body still walked towards the vase after pausing for a while.
I'm sorry! Seeing that although Christine's face had a smile, she was still firmly moving towards the place where she visited the vase, William had to sigh in his heart.
At this moment, William wanted to rush down to stop Christine's actions, but he was going down the stairs now, and there were many servants in the hall. At this time, William must ensure that his every move was in line with the king's demeanor, otherwise wouldn't he give someone a handle?
Just as Christine picked up the vase, William closed his eyes with pain. He couldn't stand it and watched these exquisite artworks turn into garbage in Christine's clutches. But for two or three minutes, William did not hear the sound of the vase breaking, which surprised William very much. He opened his eyes slightly.
What he saw in front of him surprised William. He saw that Christine did not pick up the vase as usual, but looked at it carefully on the side, which made William almost burst into tears.
The patterns on the vase are very exquisite and fascinating, so after Christine looked at them once curiously, she seemed to be fascinated by those exquisite vases.
But this little princess is simply ridiculous. Every time she holds these vases, Christine either grabs the bottle with one hand, or lays the vase on one hand, and knocks on the other hand with a gadget. Because Christine likes to hear that crisp sound, even if her hand has been injured several times, she still cannot resist Christine's special hobby.
From a very small point of view, William likes those vases very much, especially those from the East. As one of them, the cloisonné that began to be produced during the Cloisonné period of the Ming Dynasty is undoubtedly one of the finest products. However, because cloisonné has always been regarded as a royal tribute, it is very precious, and Europe is quite far from the Far East, so the cloisonné that is located in Europe can be said to be quite rare.
William was fortunate to get four, two of which were placed in his bedroom very seriously by William, while the other two took on a very important political task, which was to place them in the main hall of Brandenburg Palace to demonstrate the power of Prussia. However, after one of them accidentally died in the hands of Christine, William decisively hid the other in his treasure house to avoid accidents.
PS: Okay, I will go to Nanjing for a few days next afternoon, mainly to go to the Rubik's Cube. If you have time these days, go to the Internet cafe to write. Thank you for your support.
