King's Landing in France

Chapter 366 What the hell is going on?

In Schönbrunn Palace, Louis XVI was fiddling with his lock in his workshop. Suddenly Queen Mary opened the door and led a group of nobles into the room.

Louis XVI stood up, still holding a lock in his hand, he remembered his wife's gaze, put the lock down, and wiped the oil on his clothes.

"What are you doing?"

"You should remember that I also have the right to inherit the throne of Shinra. These gentlemen believe that the coward who fled the battle can no longer lead the Holy Roman Empire, and the empire needs a new master."

Louis XVI: "No! I don't want to! I won't be king anymore!"

Queen Mary: "It's not the king, it's the emperor. This is the result of my long-term connection in Vienna. Do you want my results to go to waste?"

Louis XVI: "Let me tell you! In addition to fiddling with locks, I am still doing one thing these days, which is reading Rousseau and Voltaire! I discovered one thing, the era of imperial power is over! Next is The Age of the Republic!"

Queen Mary's eyes widened: "What are you talking about? You were actually poisoned! How could the era of kingship end? It's been hundreds of years. Our power is given by God!"

"Not anymore." Louis XVI shook his head, and then asked, "Since it was given by God, why did we still lose France? How come those who took away our throne were not punished by God?"

"They were received! Whether it was Louis XVII or that Robespierre, they were all exiled!" Marie retorted.

At this time, the Swedish Count Felsen behind her stepped forward: "In fact, as long as you are willing to become the throne, you are the one who has the right to inherit, not your husband. You can become the queen of the Holy Roman Empire just like your mother..."

Marie raised her head: "I know. So, what are you waiting for? Put this coward who plays with locks on the shelf, and come with me. When I ascend the throne, I can't live without my husband by my side!"

Felsen nodded slightly, then walked towards Louis XVI: "I'm sorry, Your Majesty."

"Don't hold me up, I will follow." Louis XVI waved his hand, then looked at Mary and said, "You will suffer like this, I swear, you will definitely suffer. The Austrians are not ready to accept you at all." rule!"

Mary: "I became queen according to the "National Edict". I don't need the recognition of the Austrians, they just need to accept my rule!"

"Mary, you don't know, times have changed." Louis XVI shook his head lightly.

Karl was still in a stalemate with the crowd who wanted to put him on the throne, when suddenly a child ran and shouted: "We have a new queen! Her Majesty Teresa's daughter declares her succession to the throne!"

Everyone turned their heads together, everyone was stunned.

Wilm stepped forward and grabbed the child by the shoulder: "What are you talking about? What queen?"

"Just now, at the palace, the announcer called!"

"What the hell?" Wilm was speechless, "I am the prime minister of the empire, how could I not know about such things?"

The kid shrugged.

At this time, the tolerance on horseback came, galloping and shouting: "Her Majesty Marie Antoinette inherits the throne, long live Her Majesty Marie Antoinette!"

Grand Duke Karl: "Alright, my aunt does have the right to inherit."

"This is not good!" Wilm raised his voice, "We all know the character of that woman, and we can all see it clearly! She ruled Austria, let alone reforms, and the people would have to burn incense if they survived! You Didn’t you read what the French newspapers said? She’s the one who said, ‘Why don’t you eat cake if you don’t have bread’!”

Another young officer said: "She is opposed to any reforms, maybe even the reforms made by Queen Teresa will be changed back!"

Carl bit his lip, pondered for a while, and then smiled: "Then we will kill her. Do you have any objections to establishing a republic in this way? Is it better than this woman being the queen?"

Everyone, look at me, I look at you...

French revolutionary ideas have been spread in Austria for a long time, especially what the French did in Italy, which is like a template, and the Austrian bourgeoisie has long wanted to give it a try.

However, Austria's industry and commerce were not as developed as those of northern Italy, and even less developed than the German states under Austrian rule.Especially North Germany, North Germany is naturally suitable for a republic, and people are originally a bunch of commercial city-states.

The bourgeoisie is weaker in Austria, but it does exist.

It is precisely because of this that Queen Teresa wanted to carry out reforms and changed the system of Shinra to an "enlightened monarchy", which to a certain extent echoed the requirements of the emerging bourgeoisie.

Now, most of the bourgeoisie and small bourgeoisie have taken up arms and are ready to defend Vienna, which is suitable for launching a revolution.

Even the step of firing the gun was omitted.

I don't know who started it: "Long live the revolution! Overthrow the French witch who usurped power!"

"Long live!"

The French officer waiting outside the position was even more confused: Where is it?
After the uproarious sound of long live gradually subsided, Grand Duke Karl stood on the top of the city and shouted to the French officers below: "Please report to Lord Frost, we still have a revolution to carry out, please wait outside the city for a while."

The French were confused: "What revolution? What are you going to do? Why didn't I understand?"

"It literally means that Marie Antoinette just usurped power and became Queen of Austria, and we are going to kill her!"

Frenchman: "Huh? Is that Marie? Well...then good luck to you?"

Carl nodded, then turned around: "Let's go!"

He strode toward the Schönbrunn Palace, and the armed crowd followed behind him.

As I walked, I didn't know who started it, and began to sing "Ode to Rome".

Archduke Karl looked aside in surprise, he didn't even know that there was a German version of this song.

In fact, as long as you think about it, you know that there must be a German version of this song. After all, the most trusted musicians around Frost are Germans.

In this way, a genuine Austrian grand duke led a group of genuine Austrian citizens, singing French revolutionary songs, and flocked to the symbol of the 500-year rule of Shinra——

An Ning was stunned when he received the news: "What do you mean they still have a revolution?"

Officer: "I don't know, it seems that Mary usurped the Austrian throne, and they are going to overthrow it."

Napoleon: "Is that Mary?"

"Yes, that's Mary."

An Ning scratched her head: "This matter...how did it become like this? What kind of madness is this?"

The top brass of the French army looked at each other.
