Holy Roman Empire

Episode 117

Time passed in a hurry, and at the end of August, Vienna became lively as the Franz Enthronement approached.

The laughter of joy lightened the shadow brought by the March rebellion.

The government's wartime economic system has played a great role in restoring the economy, and Austria has already shaken off the impact of the economic crisis.

A large number of state-owned enterprises were born, and the implementation of the "Labor Protection Law" made the working class breathe a sigh of relief. Everyone's life was much better.

Thanks to the newspaper ’s long-term positive publicity, Franz ’s reputation in the public is still very good, and the public is looking forward to his young monarch.

The face of the Habsburg family is still big enough. The major European nobles sent heavyweights to participate in this ceremony. Vienna was a gathering of power and wealth for a time.

Franz finally realized what was the lower body family. This really has relatives all over the continent, and the messy relationship is unclear.

Fortunately, Europe does not care about seniority, otherwise Franz will be dumbfounded, because from different perspectives, relatives are also different, it is possible that one person is yours at the same time: second uncle, third uncle, little nephew, cousin ...

This is still because of the unstable situation in the European continent, many nobles stay in the country to host the overall situation, otherwise Vienna will be more lively.

Capitalists must be grateful to Franz, and his current enthronement ceremony has directly raised the level of business prosperity in Vienna.

These guests who came to participate in the ceremony are a bunch of big names. Why do they have to bring a few younger brothers when they go out? Vienna has suddenly added tens of thousands of high-quality customers with strong purchasing power. The business does not want to be prosperous.

On September 1, this commemorative day, God gave face very much and seemed to be looking after his faithful believers.

Today, the sky in Vienna is exceptionally high, the air is exceptionally cool, and the wind is exceptionally soft.There is no summer heat or winter cold wind, and the ground is green.

On this sunny day, Franz ascended the throne of the Austrian Emperor in Hofburg, and Austrian history opened a new page.

Franz did not want to comment on how this sacred enthronement ceremony was held. He now has only one feeling-tired.

First he walked through the enthronement process like a puppet, and then went to receive a bunch of VIPs, exhausting him.

In the evening, returning to the bedroom, Franz only felt a emptiness strike.The magnificent Vienna Palace does not seem to make him feel a little warm.

The emperor is destined to be alone, and a great emperor must abandon unnecessary emotions, which are also part of the political system.

The emperors are lonely in decision-making and reform in terms of emotions and political thoughts. They also hone a hard heart in loneliness and hone tolerance in loneliness.

Continental Europe is a bit better, and the royal family's internal dumping is not as serious.Under normal circumstances, there is no need to worry about siblings seeking to usurp power, which is the only good news.

Franz's luck is good, there are two younger brothers and a younger sister below. The younger sister who didn't need to think about it, sees God before he crosses, naturally there is no emotion, the remaining few brothers The sister relationship is very good.

In the spirit of the younger brother, it was used to pit. This is not the two teenagers of Maximilino and Karl Ludwig were pushed out by Franz to greet guests, which is also the responsibility of the royal family.

Not even the last sister, Franz did not want to ask for trouble.Princess Ludwig Victor is just 6 years old, and she is a lively and active age. Pranks are one of her hobbies.

Franz, like his father Grand Duke Karl, loved this porcelain doll-like sister and was very indulgent to her, which made Mrs. Sophie who wanted to train her to become a qualified princess a headache.

Looking at the extra gifts in the room, Franz's cold heart melted and opened a beautiful gift box with a fat little figurine in it.

The clay figure is wearing a hat or a crown. Who knows?

Picking up the small note next to it and looking at the content above, Franz felt a bit crying and laughing.According to the letter, this clay figure is the tall image of Franz in the mind of his sister.

Even if the fat figure pinched by the clay figurines, the inferior products can not be demanded too much, what is the lack of an arm?Is his brother a crippled person?

Franz can only throw this pot to the Renaissance. After the European Renaissance, many statues in Europe were short of arms and short legs.

This will not only teach the next generation, but the incompleteness is the beauty, so this work by Princess Ludwig Victor is no exception.

After making up his mind to correct this erroneous aesthetic view of people, Franz was already lying on the bed and quickly fell asleep.There will be work tomorrow, and the young people have not yet reached the time of enjoyment.

...

The next day, Franz woke up early in the morning as usual, and he could see that he was in a good mood. He strolled in the Vienna Palace and replaced today's training.

As one of the three most famous palaces in Europe, the Vienna Palace is still very beautiful.All eyes and sights are dazzling enamel painted mullions, and lifelike marble reliefs, like Rodin's hands, like Mikai's soul, like Da Vinci's spirit, like Raphael's free and easy ...

"Your Majesty, the Prime Minister and the Cabinet Ministers are asking for advice."

The maid Jane's crisp voice rang in Franz's ears. He was still a little bit uncomfortable. Before yesterday, he was His Royal Highness, and now he became His Majesty.

This kind of discomfort passed away, and Franz replied: "Please come over them!"

Early in the morning, Prime Minister Felix brought the cabinet to the door, obviously there was something serious, otherwise they would not be so rash.

"Sit down, Jenny asks the kitchen to prepare more breakfast."

Franz knew that everyone came so early, most of them came hungry, as a good leader, he naturally had to care about the lives of his subordinates.

"Speak, what happened, you rushed over in such a hurry?" Franz asked

In order for the enthronement ceremony to proceed smoothly, the Austrian government is implementing a sound policy. It can be said that it is Cathay Pacific and there will be no major events.

Prime Minister Felix's sullen face replied: "Your Majesty, our secret investigation into the assets of the church is about to be exposed. A related document in the cabinet was stolen yesterday and is now missing."

Upon hearing the news, Franz's good mood disappeared instantly.It was not the time when the news leaked that the church was deeply entrenched and the inventory of their assets could not be completed overnight.

This is not to suppress the rebels, you can directly grab people and copy their homes. For these people in the church, the Austrian government cannot be so rude.

Franz just asked for their money, even if it was a fate, the people still need the sustenance of their hearts, not to be killed with a stick.

After the news leaked, it was difficult to check it slowly.Many methods of transferring and concealing property have gone, and these people have reacted. After tidying up, the Austrian government will not get much in the end.

Franz thought about it and said, "Then act ahead of time. Anyway, we don't expect to squeeze the church's oil and water and confiscate their illegal property.

Other good possessions, can't the land of the church be hidden?

The Ministry of Foreign Affairs talked with His Majesty the Pope and gave him an order that the churches in the Austrian region sell all the land to the government, and the money was used as military expenses to save the papacy."

Opportunities are rare, and now Pius IX is exiled overseas by the Revolutionaries.Yesterday, Franz was crowned, now in Vienna.Naked interest exchange, I'm not afraid he will refuse.

As for the damage to the interests of the Austrian church, what does this matter to the pope?

The Papal State is the foundation of Pius IX, and the interests of the Austrian church have been damaged. The biggest loss is still a group of local bishops. It is not a big deal to pay a little price to regain the Papal State.

"Yes, Your Majesty!" Metternich replied

The Pope is the best way to deal with the church. As long as he has a big name, the Austrian government can easily force these bishops to compromise.

The Austrian government wanted the property of the church, but not their personal property. It was not enough to make them desperate.

The domestic rebellion has just been suppressed, and many places in Austria are full of murderous people. The nobles have awe of the government, which is the best opportunity to start.

"Your Majesty, it is better to call bishops from all over the country in the name of the Pope to a meeting in Vienna and announce this decision to them. Whoever opposes, let Pius IX remove his position as a bishop."

Obviously, the pope is not so high in the era of declining authority.Prime Minister Felix did not take Pius IX seriously at all, and it would not be too difficult to switch to a pope if Austria wanted to.

Now the Austrian government gives respect to Pius IX, it is because everyone has been cooperating before and it is a pleasure to respect the pope as a Catholic country.

After hearing Felix's words, the "Hongmen Banquet" instantly appeared in Franz's mind. The bishop was not hereditary, and the Holy See had the right to recall.

Although up to now, most of the bishop's appointments and removals were decided by the local church, the Holy See only took a walk.

Now that the Austrian government needs it, this right can be returned to the pope in a short time.

Those who follow me are prosperous, those who rebel against me die.

As long as smart people know that once they are removed from the protagonist position, their bad things will be wiped out by the Austrian government in the shortest time, and there is only one word waiting for their result-death.

"Okay, just do it!"

Franz nodded and said that he could solve the problem in a civilized way, so why should he be so bloody?

The church's greed and corruption have been around for a long time, and he, a pseudo-Catholic, has no intention of cleaning up the portal for God.
