The War Court and Lap Pillow, Austria's Mandate of Heaven

Chapter 721

If there is a war between Prussia and Austria, Saxony will stand more firmly on the side of Austria.Although Austria won the war, it could not touch the territory of Prussia, because that would cause the great powers to interfere.

However, countries such as Saxony and Bavaria can be used to dismember Prussia, and even make the former the spokesperson of Austria in North Germany.

In this way, Austria's influence in the German Confederation will reach its peak, and it will be able to control the Confederation Parliament for a long time. In a sense, it can be regarded as the resurrection of the Holy Roman Empire.

Although Saxony took back its own land, the Austrian Empire was too close, and coupled with the lessons learned by Prussia, it was difficult for the former to renew the mind of confrontation.

Although this remote control method cannot maximize the use of manpower and material resources, it is not easy to cause civil wars, and it is difficult for the great powers to interfere.

It's just that this method will make people feel uncomfortable, and it will hinder the unification of Germany. Saxony is not strong enough to unify North Germany, even if it makes people superficially surrender.

In order not to waste manpower and public resources, it is necessary to integrate the small state and the free city, but there must be a battle between the three larger states of Prussia, Saxony, and Hanover.

And when they fight, the most difficult thing to do is Austria.If you don't leave the game, there is a high probability that you will lose thousands of miles. If you leave the game, it will be a feast of intervention by the great powers, and the nearby Britain, France, and Russia will all join it.

Regardless of the ending, we must let Austria pick up the skin.

All that remained were Franz's historical fiancées and wives, Princess Nana and Princess Sissi.Although they are members of the Wertbach family, their status is very low, and they cannot provide much value to the Austrian Empire.

Secondly, they are the daughters of Aunt Franz. The blood relationship is too close to make people worry.Moreover, none of them have received systematic noble education, no matter how docile Princess Nana is, she will inevitably run into trouble.

And Princess Sissi can be called a negative example of the queen, with a serious liberal tendency, sympathizing with the Hungarians, making some taboo remarks regardless of the occasion, and the conflict with Mrs. Sophie made the whole court go crazy.

It is said that everything is happy at home, and Franz does not want his home to become a battlefield.
Fortunately, at this time, Mrs. Sophie often went to foreign countries to "drop in", so her vision and heart were much broader.

Mrs. Ludovica's two daughters really can't catch her eyes. Although she likes Nana very much, Mrs. Sophie's idea at this time is to let Ludwig or Maximilian marry Nana.

In Madam Sophie's eyes, Maximilian is a troublemaker, and finding a sensible girl can make the former take care of him.

And Ludwig is a fool, if he marries Nana, he will be less bullied and used by others.

Madame Sophie sympathizes with her sister Ludovica and promises to let one of her sons marry her daughter, but it cannot be Franz.

At this time, the younger brothers are needed to take the lead, but Mrs. Sophie feels that her family is not at a loss.

Pull back to reality.

Vienna, Schönbrunn Palace.

Franz remembered that he was going to be 16 years old, and his birthday was coming again. The time passed so quickly. Looking at the information and documents all over the table, I don’t know how many things have not been dealt with, but what is going on right now is a major event in life after all. .

"Master, do you have any candidates?"

In Franz's opinion, marriage is just icing on the cake. Specific matters need to be well planned and strong enough. It is better to listen to other people's suggestions.

Mrs. Sophie gave Franz a "you understand" look, and the latter felt that no matter the East or the West, parents still like to "filially" their sons.

(The filial piety here is actually better replaced by respect.)
Madam Sophie clapped her hands, and someone moved in a portrait.

This made Franz a bit difficult. Why does Austria use this method when it has cameras?And what about a good political marriage?How does it feel like choosing a concubine or drawing a lottery.

Although the painters are all famous artists, the painters are all human beings, and with a little money, they can make their portraits look better or worse.

Moreover, Franz had clearly seen photos of princesses from various countries, but he couldn't make a proper seat.

"Could it be a fish that slipped through the net? Or is it a princess from another small country?"

Madame Sophie continued while Franz was thinking about it.

"Pick and choose! Write down the ones you like."

"Which ones?!" Franz couldn't help asking with some doubts, when did the Western court change polygamy?
Madame Sophie said again while Franz was thinking wildly.

"What else? Wouldn't the family be ashamed to choose only one? Don't you feel shabby, I'll be shabby for you."

In the next few seconds, Franz's expression went through changes from shock, ecstasy, and then suddenly.

The people in these portraits are not princesses, but nurses who have come to recruit or the Countess of Sanitation.

Franz said dully.

"I do not need."

"Why not?!" Mrs. Sophie emphasized, "This is a training course that heirs to the throne must go through!"

Franz was speechless for a while. He knew who wrote the course. The scene of the old man and his grandson peeping at the washerwoman changing clothes came to mind, and Franz could only let out a long sigh.

"Alright alright."

Franz just looked at the portraits, and quickly discovered a common feature, that is, they were too mature.

In fact, this has something to do with Mrs. Sophie's aesthetics. She prefers girls with bigger breasts and buttocks, because such women are theoretically good at giving birth.

But this aesthetic in the nineteenth century was deformed.
Madam Sophie noticed Franz's disgusting gaze and said quickly.

"These are all girls from good families! They are all girls with good conduct!"

Franz couldn't help covering his face. At this time, Madam Sophie's words were like a third-rate old bustard selling goods.

These so-called good girls are actually girls from some small noble families. After completing some tasks, they can get a generous reward and at the same time get a special status.

Of course, it is not ruled out that someone can become the lover of the heir to the throne, so they and their families never tire of it.

Franz: "Can you skip this lesson?"

Mrs. Sophie snorted, she knew her son very well, she just didn't like it.

"Then change another batch, as many people as you want."

Madam Sophie snapped her fingers again, and another batch of portraits were placed in front of Franz.

The latter reluctantly leaned over to read it again, and the former snapped his fingers helplessly after about a minute.

In this way, the mother and son stalemate for an afternoon.

Madam Sophie roared: "You brat is never finished!"

After thinking for a long time, Franz finally thought of a suitable explanation, because Mrs. Sophie is a devout Christian, so it is still necessary to prescribe the right medicine.

"Mother, I think marriage is sacred! And it's not allowed in the Ten Commandments"

"Voluntary does not count."

Madame Sophie replied without thinking.

Franz was about to speak again when Madam Sophie stopped him.

"Don't you usually not believe this?"

Franz smiled awkwardly: "Shouldn't you be more flexible?"

"Then why can't you be flexible in this matter?" Madame Sophie asked back.

In fact, the so-called childcare class is to desensitize the heir to the throne to affection and love, so as not to indulge in the joy of Slaanesh.

But the old emperor was dead. Although Franz's uncle was the heir to the throne, he was too physically handicapped to receive a complete heir education.

As for the old man, looking at Madam Sophie's angry look, he knew that it must have been very unsuccessful.

Seeing Franz's hesitant look, Madam Sophie became even more angry.

"Aren't you afraid of losing face then?"

　Some of today's ones are mainly trying to make a twist, and then it's a bit blunt
