Chapter Five Hundred and Seventy-Seven: The Pro-French Start From Juveniles
"What about you?" Elizabeth looked at Jerome Bonaparte curiously.
"Didn't I just say that!" As the tune gradually reached its climax, Jérôme Bonaparte sped up the rhythm of the dance and Elizabeth said with a serious expression: "I cherish everyone I love and everyone who loves me
People! I respect them as much as they respect me!
Sissi, you have to remember that the most difficult thing to do in this world is mutual respect!"
"Why do you say that?" Elizabeth blinked in confusion, "I think this should be very simple!"
"Sissi, let me ask you!" Jérôme Bonaparte said to Elizabeth with a solemn face: "Are you really willing to bend down and listen to the voices at the bottom? Can you tolerate staying together in a dark and humid environment?
Do you want to communicate with a poor person who smells bad?"
After listening to Jérôme Bonaparte's words, Elizabeth's face showed an expression of disgust unconsciously.
Although Elizabeth herself did not dislike the poor, the inherent perception of the poor in her class subtly influenced her perception.
There are too many people in this world who are at the top, and there are too few who are willing to bend down and listen to the voices at the bottom.
"Look!" Jerome Bonaparte chuckled: "There is no way for people to respect each other! Nobles and commoners, rich and poor, men and women...it's all the same!"
"That's... no!" Elizabeth felt guilty for what she had just done, and with a slight blush on her face, she quickly retorted: "You are trying to change your concept!"
"Where did I secretly change my concept?" Jerome Bonaparte kept dancing and asked Elizabeth: "Sissi, did you really voluntarily become the Empress of the Austrian Empire?"
Elizabeth was speechless. Of course she did not voluntarily become the Queen of the Habsburg family. The person who was supposed to become the Queen of Habsburg was her sister. It was just because the emperor did not like her sister that she was dismissed.
She was forced to replace her sister as the future Queen of Habsburg.
From the time she was told that she was going to become the emperor's fiancée to now, no decision was made by her. Everything was decided by her mother and the Queen Mother Sophie.
From beginning to end, Elizabeth had no right to regret.
As for regretting the marriage, that is even more impossible. Not to mention her, even the Wittelsbach royal family of Bavaria could not afford the price of regretting the marriage to the Habsburgs.
Thinking of this, Elizabeth couldn't help but feel sad for her future. This was the fate she had to face as a royal family.
Elizabeth's dance steps gradually became messy with her heart, so that Jerome Bonaparte had to adjust his movements to follow her dance steps.
After a few seconds, Elizabeth came back to her senses and realized her mistake. She quickly apologized to Jerome Bonaparte and said: "Your Majesty, I'm sorry!"
"Nothing!" Jérôme Bonaparte shook his head and responded to Elizabeth: "Actually, your future husband still loves you very much! However, you have to be careful of the Queen Mother Sophie!"
"Why?" Elizabeth asked Jérôme Bonaparte in a daze: "I think the Queen Mother Sophie is a very..." Elizabeth suddenly remembered that the Queen Mother Sophie praised her attitude against her will:
“A very nice person!”
"That's because you haven't married into the Habsburgs yet!" Jérôme Bonaparte said to Princess Sissi in an experienced tone: "Most mothers-in-law are full of hostility towards their daughters-in-law!"
"Why the hostility?" Elizabeth asked.
"Think about it! You have worked hard to raise your baby for more than 20 years, and suddenly one day a strange woman you don't know comes to snatch it from you. What will you do?" Jerome Bonaparte tried his best to use easy-to-understand words.
Ask Princess Sissi.
"But a son is not an object!" Elizabeth retorted to Jérôme Bonaparte.
"For a woman with a strong desire to control, her son is no different from an object!" Jérôme Bonaparte pointedly responded to Elizabeth: "The Queen Mother Sophie was able to convince her husband to give up the throne and thus choose
Let your husband inherit the throne! It can be imagined that she is a woman who loves her son far more than her husband! Your appearance will make her feel that her status has been challenged! "
"Why me?" Elizabeth asked doubtfully.
"Because you are more willful than your sister!" Jerome Bonaparte responded to Elizabeth.
Historically, the reason why Empress Dowager Sophie was unhappy with Princess Sissi was because Princess Sissi was different from her sister Helen, and she was more difficult to control.
"I don't want to be like my sister!" Elizabeth pouted in response to Jérôme Bonaparte.
"For an old woman with a strong desire for control, your existence is an unstable factor!" Jerome Bonaparte continued: "I conclude that after you married Franz Joseph, the Empress Dowager Sophie
I will definitely try my best to cause trouble for you! Your husband...please allow me to say some irresponsible words!"
"Say, Your Majesty!" Elizabeth responded to Jérôme Bonaparte.
Jérôme Bonaparte said in a calm tone: "Your husband may not be able to handle the conflict between you and the Queen Mother Sophie at all. He may try to ease the conflict between you by not helping each other. However, this kind of
It seems to be a neutral approach, but it is actually very unfriendly to Nigeria! Because as a newcomer, you have no ability to fight against the Empress Dowager’s party who has been working hard in the Habsburg court for decades.”
History is as Jérôme Bonaparte said, from the time Princess Sissi married to the Habsburgs to the end of the Franco-Austrian War, the powerless Princess Sissi has been suppressed by the Bohemian Party of Queen Mother Sophie.
, so that she had to go to Hungary to relax. During this period, she made many Hungarian friends, and the Hungarian party surrounding Princess Sissi was forming.
However, due to the suppression of Hungary by the empire itself, the Hungarian Party was greatly reduced.
After the end of the Austrian War, in order to ease domestic conflicts, especially the conflict with Hungary, Franz Joseph issued the "October Order". The Hungarian nobles who had been suppressed for a long time were not only pardoned, but also the empire was confiscated in Hungary.
The assets were also returned to the Hungarian nobility.
Many Hungarian nobles returned to the Austrian Empire and then rallied around Sissi.
Only then was Princess Sissi powerful enough to confront Empress Dowager Sophie. From the time of Fao to Austria, Princess Sissi even acted as the spokesperson of Hungary in Vienna.
After the war between Prussia and Austria ended, the famous "Austro-Hungarian Compromise" officially began, which also marked the complete victory of the Hungarian Party under the leadership of Princess Sissi over the Bohemian Party.
From that time on, Empress Dowager Sophie no longer consulted on politics.
The Franco-Austrian War in this time and space will not happen, which means that Princess Sissi cannot rely on the power of Hungary at all.
If Jérôme Bonaparte is unwilling to help, the fate she will face may be even more tragic than in history.
Of course, it is also not in the interest of Jérôme Bonaparte for the Bohemian Party led by the Queen Mother Sophie to dominate.
"Then what should I do?" Elizabeth's face turned pale. She could already think of her future destiny.
"If you want to fight against the Queen Mother Sophie, you must have a force to support you!" Jérôme Bonaparte said seductively: "The palace is like a battlefield. If you are not careful, you will lose everything!"
"Who can be my helper!" Elizabeth asked Jérôme Bonaparte.
"In the Habsburg court, anyone with a little bit of influence would choose to join the Queen Mother Sophie! You must choose some politically frustrated people!" Jérôme Bonaparte said to Elizabeth: "For example: May
Prince Tene!"
"Prince Metternich? Is he willing to help me?" Elizabeth hesitated for a moment and said.
"Sissi, you have to remember that there is nothing in this world that cannot be traded! The success of the transaction depends on your chips!" Jerome Bonaparte said to Princess Sissi confidently
: "Now Prince Metternich is a frustrated old man, and he is eager to return to the political arena!"
"He is already so old!" Elizabeth responded to Jerome Bonaparte.
"A politician never cares about his age. What they care about is whether they can always control power!" Jerome Bonaparte explained to Elizabeth: "Furthermore, the relationship between Prince Metternich and Queen Mother Sophie
The relationship between them is not very good either! If you are interested in winning over the father and son, they would be willing to become members of the Queen’s Party!”
After the death of Emperor Franz, the first emperor of the Austrian Empire and the last emperor of the Holy Roman Empire, in order to help the cerebral palsy Emperor Ferdinand I (literally cerebral palsy) establish his rule, a regency committee was established. Prince Metternich and Sophie
The conflicts between the Queen Mother and the Queen Mother gradually accumulated in the Regency Committee.
"Then how should I win over them?" Elizabeth asked Jérôme Bonaparte's method.
"Prince Metternich has a daughter!" Jérôme Bonaparte said as he stood and watched Elizabeth holding his hand and circling him: "You can apply to your husband to let Prince Metternich
My daughter will teach you etiquette, so that you can test Prince Metternich’s attitude!”
Elizabeth, who circled around Jerome Bonaparte, once again put her other hand on Jerome Bonaparte's and asked curiously: "Your Majesty, why do you want to help me?"
"This is compensation!" Jérôme Bonaparte said vaguely.
"Compensation? But you didn't do anything to me!" Elizabeth looked at Jerome Bonaparte in confusion.
"You can understand that I can't bear to see a little girl being bullied all alone in the palace!"
When the dance ended, Jérôme Bonaparte gently took Elizabeth's hand, kissed it, and then turned and left.
