The War Court and Lap Pillow, Austria’s Mandate of Heaven
Vol 2 Chapter 16: queen regent christina
"Your Majesty, good news. This concerns the future of France, the future of the dynasty, and even the future of Europe and the world."
Louis-Philippe is different from the mainstream monarchs of this era. He does not like to wear military uniforms and costumes, and prefers more down-to-earth casual clothes to maintain his image as a citizen king.
However, the folks did not think highly of him. The high society called him the king of barricades, while the common people called him the king of pears, which means an idiot. The reason is that he is different from the kings of all dynasties in France. Louis Philippe admired him very much. British-style politics, so delegate power to your own ministers.
As a result, Louis-Philippe raised a group of astonishing embezzlers, and the people's dissatisfaction with the French government was all tilted on the hapless king.
At this time, Louis-Philippe was wearing casual clothes with a smile on his face. Although he had listened to Thiers' report once, he still pretended to be listening, as if he was a wise king in ancient times.
"Monsieur Guizot, I don't think it's in France's interest to support Carlos and get involved in the Spanish Civil War."
"Your Majesty, Carlos?" Guizot quickly waved his hands, "No, no, no... listen to me..."
Louis-Philippe, however, did not allow Guizot to continue.
"I am not Tsar Nicholas I, such an ultra-conservative person, I am loyal to France and the charter."
Tsar Nicholas I supported Carlos very much. He refused to recognize the Spanish government led by the Queen Regent and broke off diplomatic relations with it immediately. He even publicly declared that "a **** and a **** are not worthy of leading Spain."
The personal life of Queen Regent Christina was very chaotic. As soon as her husband Ferdinand VII died, she took her lover into her palace and completed the wedding under the witness of the priest.
Even on the night of Ferdinand VII's death, she was still lingering with her lover, and after that, she gave birth to a child for her lover every year, and even raised it in the Royal Palace of Madrid.
This made the ultra-conservative Tsar Nicholas I identify the Queen Regent Christina as his sworn enemy.
If the territories of Russia and Spain were connected, the Cossack cavalry would have stormed into the Madrid Palace long ago and killed the Queen Regent, her lover, and those "evils".
"Your Majesty, I am writing to the Queen Regent, Christina, to be engaged to Queen Isabella II of Spain. For us in France..."
Before Guizot could finish speaking, Louis-Philippe, who always liked to put on a show, couldn't hold back, and snatched the letter from Guizot's hand.
[Dear Lord Louis Philippe... I, Queen Regent of Spain, Christina, on behalf of the Kingdom of Spain, hope you can accept our marriage. This is for the friendship between Spain and France, for the future of the two countries, and even more for Europe and world peace.
We are obliged to do so and look forward to hearing from you.
------ Queen Regent of Spain, Maria Cristina. 】
Louis-Philippe could feel his heart burning like it hadn't felt for a long time. A decision he makes now is very likely to determine the fate of France and even Europe.
Louis-Philippe sympathized with Carlos in his heart, and Carlos must have made a great determination to let his eldest son marry his daughter. This marriage is indeed beneficial to France.
But this is nothing compared to the fact that Louis-Philippe's son married the Queen of Spain.
In fact, there was one person who was more surprised than Louis-Philippe, and that was Thiers, whose jaw almost fell to the ground.
Thiers would never have imagined that in one day both contenders for the Spanish throne would offer France an olive branch, and he understood the significance of it.
And the reign of the Queen Regent is less secure than that of Carlos. Once the Carlos faction is destroyed, it will not be difficult for France to overthrow the tainted queen regent.
At that time, Louis-Philippe could also serve as Regent of Spain, which would be wonderful for France.
Thiers couldn't help saying, "God bless France, long live France!"
Guizot also said "Long live France!"
Louis-Philippe took a deep breath to calm down his excitement.
"Gentlemen, fire the cannon! One hundred and one shots."
Thiers and Guizot looked at each other, this salute...is not the time...
"Excuse me, gentlemen. I meant pop the champagne, let's celebrate!"
The attendant immediately brought champagne and filled the glasses for the three of them.
"Long live France!" Three glasses clinked together.
Vienna, Schönbrunn Palace.
To be honest, Franz was also surprised. He was surprised that the Queen Regent's shamelessness had exceeded his lower limit. He felt that no matter how vicious a woman was, she would not use her child as a prop, but he was wrong.
At this time, Isabella II, who was not yet six years old, was directly sold by the regent queen as a bargaining chip.
The Queen Regent of Spain, who actually did such a thing for her own power, is really a character. Franz underestimated her before.
In Franz's previous plan, it was intended for the Queen Regent to ask the British for help.
Although there were some deviations from the plan, the goal was achieved, and Britain and France would definitely intervene in the Spanish Civil War.
Because as long as the French intervene, Britain will have to intervene. The United Kingdom will not sit back and watch France and Spain unite. This will not only break the balance on the European continent, but may even threaten the British mainland.
The reason why Queen Regent Christina reacted so quickly was because Franz wrote her a letter in order to prevent the Spanish government forces from being caught off guard~www.wuxiaspot.com~.
Letters to the Queen Regent, as long as XXX that loves you is left on the signature, the Queen Regent will definitely receive it.
After all, even the Queen Regent herself doesn't know how many lovers she has, and her subordinates don't know even more. If the Queen Regent's good deeds are delayed, they can't bear it.
The queen regent was furious when she opened the letter, because the letter actually said that Carlos had secretly contacted Louis Philippe and was willing to let his heir marry the princess of the Orleans family in exchange for the support of France.
The queen regent's lover also saw this letter. The reason why he became the queen regent's lover was that he was handsome enough on the one hand, and on the other hand, he could accept these hobbies of the queen regent. Therefore, the letters between the queen regent and her lovers They all watched it together.
Montre, the Queen Regent's lover, was only a sergeant, and he almost peed out of fear when he heard that the French were going to support Carlos.
"Queen, my queen, let's surrender. The French are coming, and one Frenchman can beat ten Spaniards. We can't win..."
The Napoleonic Wars caused great disasters to Spain. According to legend, the French are even more ferocious than the man-eating devil...
Queen Regent Christina slapped Monte down with a backhand, then squatted on the ground and held his face.
"It's really blind to your good skin..."
Monte saw the chill in the Queen Regent's eyes, and his survival instinct prompted him to lick the Queen Regent's boots.
The Queen Regent looked at Sergeant Monte with pity again, "Don't worry, Carlos has a son, and I have a daughter!"
The fierce determination in her eyes made the surrounding air freeze, and Monte licked her boots harder.
