Chapter 230： New Holy Roman Empire (1/2)
Palace of vienna
After learning that Franz took out the Lombard king's throne and deal with the Wittersbach dynasty, the Empress Sophie was relieved. This result can be explained to most family members.
The European aristocracy's relations were intricate and complicated. If the Austrian government took heart and forced a Serbian crown to the Wittelsbach dynasty, the empress Sophie would have no face to go home to see people.
You know, when the war broke out, Franz made a promise to the Bavarian royal family, and Queen Sophie was also pulled out as a guarantee.
Munich can be won through negotiations. On the one hand, it is really impossible to fight. On the other hand, everyone's interests are guaranteed. Naturally, no one will die with Austria.
If it were not for the royal family to choose to give up, the Wittelsbach family's century-old business would not even fight against the defense of Munich.
The Duke of the Principality of Pulfatz can only be regarded as a leader. This was originally the place where the Bavarian royal family ruled. Even if Austria did not support them, most of them were their title.
The foundation of the great aristocracy has been preserved, and Lombardy is certainly not politically comparable to Bavaria, but the Bavarian royal family has not suffered economically.
Even if the most important right is taken away by the central government, it is impossible to really turn the king into a rubber stamp, at least under the Austrian system.
Being suspended is only temporary. As long as the king has a little ability, he can take back most of his rights. As emperor Franz cannot tolerate bureaucracy.
Otherwise, the king below can be lifted today, and these people will dare to lift the emperor tomorrow.
Suspicion is the instinct of an emperor, and taboos must be resolutely suppressed, leaving no chance for the bureaucrats.
The Royal Palace of Munich, the Bavarian Royal Family has begun to move, they are no longer welcome here. Neither the people nor the bureaucrats want him to stay.
In everyone's opinion, exchanging the throne of the Bavarian royal family and Austria is the best choice so that everyone can get along well.
People who declare neutrality during the war no longer have to worry about being accounted for after the fall. The royal family has a good place, and they can be confident in loyalty to the Habsburg dynasty.
Looking at the slowly closing palace door, Maximilian II sighed, and the Wettersbach dynasty's **** of the Kingdom of Bavaria was so over. He would soon be Maximilian I of Lombardy. .
As if it was a curse, the Wittelsbach dynasty ruled many places, but basically it didn't last long. The Bavarian kingdom was just one of them.
The Wittersbach dynasty still had some family members. Even after leaving, there were still many people following it. Soon they gathered a team of thousands and marched to the capital of the Lombard kingdom under the guard of the royal family.
This is also the reason why the Austrian government is unwilling to use strong forces. The entrenched royal family is not so easy to deal with. Now that it is so good, they have left on their own initiative.
If their faces are torn, these people will cause damage, and it is estimated that in three years and five years, Bavaria will not be peaceful.

Napoleon III smashed angrily without knowing how many vases. The reason was very simple. There was a problem with his marriage, and most of the royal families in Europe did not look at him as an explosive family.
Not long ago, he was about to marry the Corolla County Lord, who abdicated from the royal family in Sweden, but was rejected. Now he has offered a marriage to Princess Adelheide of Hohenlohe-Langenburg and has been rejected again.
Not only him, in fact, even the famous Napoleon has worried about this problem, the big aristocrats look down on them, but the European continent is the world of bloodlines.
The lineage is not noble enough, and the legitimacy of the rule will be questioned. Own pedigree is not noble enough, then rely on marriage to make up.
Napoleon III was deeply touched. He was just Napoleon's nephew. The domestic people did not recognize him highly, and he urgently needed a political marriage to secure his position.
Since 1851, he has been suffering from this problem. Until now there have been no results. The big aristocrat looked down on him, and he looked down on the small noble.
Not to blame him for being angry, because he is also the emperor of France. Even if the princess is not married, the princess next to him can always? As a result, don't say the genuine princess, the princess who abdicated from the royal family despise him.
He was rejected three or five times, and he could only tolerate such a thing.
Maybe after venting, Napoleon III asked coldly, ”What other candidates?”
Gong Xiang whispered, ”Your Majesty, the candidate status behind is a bit low, and it is not worth your status!”
Napoleon III glanced at him fiercely. Isn't this pot not to mention which pot? He is not worthy to marry!
In this context, Eugenie de Montijo, a Spanish noblewoman of Scottish descent, appeared in the French court.
Napoleon III did not want to continue to toss, if he could not marry an equivalent status, marry someone he likes.
On December 1, 1853, Napoleon III announced to all senior officials that he was about to get married. At the same time, he pointed out that he wanted to make this marriage free from the French and the foreign kings:
”I like a woman I love and respect, more than a strange woman who marries the pros and cons of marriage.”
The pioneers of free love appeared, and it can be said that Napoleon III made a good start, and many of them followed his example.
The after-meal smile in the eyes of the aristocracy was quickly passed to Vienna and attracted the attention of the Vienna court. The immediate consequence was that Franz's single day was about to end.

Metternich reminded: ”Your Majesty, does the Ceremony really need to be prepared? This will make people laugh!”
