Struggle in Russia

Schwarzenberg felt that Princess Sophie would not be able to think of any other plan even if they were given a little more time, because this plan was carefully calculated by them, which could not only guarantee the interests of Austria, but also not make Princess Sophie too Uncomfortable, everyone's interests can be taken care of, it is perfect.

Of course, this is only Schwarzenberg's own idea, because from Princess Sophie's point of view, her interests have not been best protected at all. It is clear that she sacrificed her personal interests to fulfill Schwarzenberg Ge is a courtier.

This is her youth for most of her life. She has spent her entire life on the fool of Archduke Franz Karl, but she has not gained anything at all. What is this?

What did Schwarzenberg's courtiers pay? It's just that she sacrificed her personal interests for Austria's interests, what did these bastards pay? They were the ones who messed up the country, and they were the ones who didn't get any stigma at all. In the end, they even bullied her, a poor woman. Is this a human thing?

Princess Sophie is actually very angry. If she has a little hard power in her hands, she will resolutely spray Warzenberg with a face, letting him know that she is not easy to bully. But the problem is that she doesn't have any hard power, the dignitaries don't listen to her, and the army doesn't listen to her, the only card in her hand is the status of the heir apparent of the foolish husband.

It's really good to use this thing to challenge the opponent with a pebble!

Although Princess Sophie was angry, she did not lose her mind. She knew that if she insisted on disagreeing, the dignitaries headed by Schwarzenberg and Wendisch Gretz would definitely act like demons again. Grand Duke Lanzkar was killed or something.

Anyway, at this moment, Princess Sophie has everything in her heart, and she is very hesitant about the future, not knowing where to go.

Although she bought herself some more time, even if she had time, she didn't know who to consult with, and who to ask for advice. Apart from her idiot husband, she is also an idiot uncle. As for the wise and wise eldest son Franz Joseph, the relationship between mother and child is just like that.

If this ambitious child knew that he had a chance to become emperor, he would not have a father and mother in his mind, and he must hastily agreed.

The family affection inside the royal family is really like that. Back then, her old father didn't think about his daughter's happiness at all in order to accompany the big thick legs of the Habsburg family. For the royal family, everything is a deal, and it looks bright, but it is actually not much better than Goulan.

Anyway, Princess Sophie is hesitant and confused, her heart is really gloomy and cold, sitting on the sofa like a wooden figure, it makes people feel distressed.

I don't know how long I was stunned, until another really slow Grand Duke Franz Karl yelled that he was hungry, and Princess Sophie came back to her senses. Looking at her stupid and unconscious husband, Princess Sophie couldn't help but feel sad: "Why is my life so hard? Such a waste!"

Looking at my foolish husband, and then thinking of other people's husbands, he is obviously a beautiful woman, so why can he marry so well. Look at Schwarzenberg and Wendy Schrötz, even if they are disgusting, at least they are reliable, and you don't need to worry about everything!

Unknowingly, Princess Sophie suddenly thought of Duke Alexander Gorchakov. In her heart, the handsome Duke had a much higher rating than Schwarzenberg and Wendisch Gretz, because The latter two never considered from her point of view, and although the duke didn't know what his intentions were, he still spoke for her.

Suddenly, Princess Sophie decided to listen to the opinion of Duke Alexander Gorchakov, so she immediately invited the Duke to come to the party, which surprised and pleased Duke Alexander Gorchakov. Because he just visited Princess Sophie yesterday, why did he invite him over again today?

However, he is smart and can probably guess the reason. It is estimated that the princess has received some kind of news or signal.

This is to test his tone.

In this regard, Duke Alexander Gorchakov is naturally happy to see the results. After communicating with Li Xiao several times, he basically came to a conclusion, that is, Austria cannot be completely left behind by Wendisch Gretz and In the hands of Schwarzenberg and his like, it is extremely detrimental to Russia. It is best to support their opponents within the Austrian political arena, indirectly contain and weaken them, so that Austria cannot deviate from the track of Russian interests.

Duke Alexander Gorchakov thinks that Princess Sophie is a good candidate. First of all, this princess is also an outsider in Austria. It can also be seen that the princess is ambitious, and she is not the same as Wendisch Gretz and Schwarzenberg.

These two advantages make it possible for Russia to become the best friend of Russia in Austria. If she can gain the trust of the princess and reach an agreement with her, with her control over Grand Duke Franz Karl, this will definitely be able to effectively restrain Shi Watzenberg and Wendisch Gretz.

As the saying goes, it’s not indecent to come and go, Austria has Nesselrode as the interest representative in Russia, and now they just happen to support a Princess Sophie to hold back, and return the same way to the other, so that the Austrians can also try this taste.

Duke Alexander Gorchakov generously went to the appointment, and as expected, after some greetings, Princess Sophie went straight to the topic: "Your Excellency, you are well versed in politics and have lived in Austria for many years, so you are very familiar with the situation in Austria. And as a foreign Man, you can objectively look at the various problems and realities in Austria... Now some problems are giving me a headache, can you give me some advice?"

Prince Alexander Gorchakov was overjoyed. He wished for this very much. Naturally, he nodded solemnly and said: "Madam, it is my honor. Now I am at your service!"

Princess Sophie smiled bleakly and said: "Now there are some very bad rumors that upset me... You know that the situation of my husband's brother, His Majesty, has not been very good, this poor man has always been I have been slandered... even this kind of slander has become more and more presumptuous, and it has involved my equally poor husband..."

"Some nobles are chewing their tongues in private and talking about some outrageous topics. I am very worried and scared about this. I really don't know what to do!"
