Solovyov in Tsarist Russia 1796

Chapter 478 055 The King of Prussia is as useless as his abbreviation

Although Tilsit has disappeared in the 21st century and its name has been de-Germanized to become Sovietsk, the scale of this town is not too big or small, and it is acceptable.

After Alexander settled down, he was very satisfied with the hospitality of the French side.

However, after settling down, he also had some concerns.

"Your Majesty, what are you worried about?"

"Nothing, but we don't know what price the French side will propose. The previous correspondence only confirmed the scope of discussion. From the perspective of the French emperor, they were more tolerant of Austria's peace terms before. What about us? No French soldier can enter Russian land as a soldier. The price of this negotiation condition is naturally on our side."

Although he said so, Alexander also knew that France's attitude towards Prussia should be very harsh.

He didn't care what would happen to Prussia, but St. Petersburg was sometimes like the Blue House, and he always had to protect his subordinates, so he talked about this with the Foreign Minister.

Badberg naturally understood what he meant. He had also been Alexander's teacher, and he knew that his students loved to be riddlers.

However, for Prussia, the situation was not so optimistic.

From the Meuse River to Memel, now only Memel was truly left. The Prussian King Frederick William III was in an unusually depressed state at this time. When the war was going well, he had close contact with the queen for a while. He was in a trance these two days.

Because he didn't know what Napoleon was going to do.

The queen was still holding on. She entrusted the girls to the Duke of Saxe-Weimar and his family, preparing to take them to St. Petersburg, while the sons remained in Memel.

The queen herself took a carriage to the Lithuanian town of Panemune on the north bank of the Neman River, accompanying the king to wait for the judgment of fate.

Speaking of which, the judgment of this fate was judged by Napoleon and Alexander.

The king was so depressed. For Queen Louise, as the princess of the weaker of the two Mecklenburg families, she married the prince of Prussia for the benefit of her family. The two had lived together for a long time and had a very deep relationship.

However, the king that the queen saw now did not even have the ambition to reform the country through internal affairs a few years ago. Only she could help this unfortunate FW to regain his spirits.

"Don't be like this. We should think positively. Both Shverin and Weimar are related to the Russian royal family. Alexander will definitely help them. There is room for us to maneuver."

"Louise, it's useless to say this at this time. You are just comforting me. Now it seems that whether we can return to Berlin is unknown."

"You don't know much about the situation in the Russian court, so don't be so decadent. When I lived with Maria, I heard her say that Grand Duke Nicholas's teacher, Baron Solovyov, the chief of staff of the East Prussian Corps, seemed to be helping Grand Duke Nicholas find a fiancée."

"How old is Nicholas? The Russian royal family may have a daughter who marries a child. A little anxious, but they are not short of children now, the two young grand dukes will not be anxious about marriage, right? "

"But the emperor and Grand Duke Constantine have no sons, only daughters, so this matter will also attract their attention. Although Nicholas is only 11 years old, he is tall and strong, a child with the physique of a teenager, and handsome, he should surpass his brother in the future. Maybe this is still a temporary choice. Although Charlotte is still young, she should be married after she turns 14. We can prepare early. If there are rumors of such a marriage, the French should not treat us too harshly. "

As a queen and wife, she is indeed very virtuous and has a very thorough plan.

But Frederick William III is still in a very decadent state, and even began to ignore the queen.

"If you do this, it really hurts my heart. "

The queen finally couldn't control her emotions, covered her face and cried, left the small reception room, and returned to the bedroom.

As a king, Frederick William III relied on his uncle for war and his wife for diplomacy. He was good at domestic affairs, but he was so cowardly that the queen was very sad.

That is, the children were not around, otherwise it would be difficult for them to forgive their father for being so wooden.

You know, as a mother, Louise also taught her children carefully and found famous teachers for the princes.

Although other conditions were limited, Clausewitz always came back in the field of military science. This man was indeed loyal and began to educate the crown prince and Prince William very responsibly as a teacher.

For the daughters, Charlotte loved music. Although she had no talent, she was also studious. The queen did not have a court band to accompany her during the war. Maria was willing to play with her children because Queen Louise was a good friend of their sisters, so she could still help with this.

In terms of state affairs, the queen did have some skills, and invited the prestigious old Duke of Brunswick to come out, but the warmongers within the Prussian army eventually ruined all the plans, and it has come to this point.

Queen Louise cried and covered her chest, and her chest tightness became more and more serious.

Seeing this, the personal maid came over to help Louise to the bed and went to find a doctor.

"It doesn't matter, God won't call me yet."

However, she is indeed weak when speaking now. She looks so sick and weak, and the maids around her are also crying.

They have followed the Queen for a long time, and they also know that if it weren't for the Queen's tenacity and strong temper, and just relying on His Majesty the King, they would have succumbed to the iron heel of the French army long ago, and the end would have been much worse than that of Austria.

Of course, the other two parties to the meeting did not know the current situation of the Prussian couple at this time.

Queen Louise knew that with the personal relationship between the royal family, Alexander would try to find a way for Prussia, but only the minimum kind.

If France and Russia wanted to make peace, the interests of Prussia and other countries would definitely have to be sacrificed, especially if they formed an alliance.

Alexander actually proposed to introduce the King of Prussia to Napoleon the next day.

Napoleon unexpectedly agreed to Alexander's request and was very tolerant.

It's just that he is a tolerant and narrow-minded person.

Solovyov got up early the next morning. After all, the king is like this. He gets up at 5 o'clock every morning. The worst thing about being a general's attendant is that he has to accompany the emperor every day when performing official duties. It is better than him in the past. The Guards' shift duty is even more troublesome.

However, because there were many people accompanying the general, he still had the opportunity to take shifts, but in Tilsit, only he and Volkonsky, who were more trusted by Alexander, could be brought here.

"Biejia, is your Majesty up?"

Volkonski didn't reply, but pointed to the end of the corridor.

"Solovyov, you should improve the performance of the product. This toothpaste foams too much."

"Okay, Your Majesty."

Many of the daily necessities used by the royal family are from his Little Bee brand, but Alexander usually doesn't say this, but today he took it out and ordered Party B.

Solovyov also knew that if his position was not that of serving the general, Alexander would not have told him this.

Alexander will also introduce the King of Prussia and his wife to Napoleon before today's formal talks.

It's easy to invite Queen Louise, but King FW is really incompetent.

If we really want a formal royal meeting, Solovyov's aunt Queen Josephine will also have to come, as will Louisa, who is taking care of her children at home.

It was also her ability to let the queen appear. Alexander knew that there would always be some way to open up the topic.

Not only the queen, but also the Baden sisters, who have always been a homebody, and the cake queen, who has always been criticized, are all very good at playing their roles in such social situations.

As for the ridiculous thing about the "Black Duke" being worried that his daughter-in-law would be targeted by Napoleon, so he sent her to Sweden. Napoleon finally said, "We are all a family. How could I let my son-in-law's sister remarry?"

"Solovyov, go and ask King Frederick William to come here. I have promised to introduce the couple to the French Emperor, your uncle."

"But that king, I saw that he was in bad condition before crossing the river. Will there be any impact?"

"It doesn't matter, the queen will find a way."

"But Queen Louise has always been in poor health, and that's what happened when I saw her at Jelgava Palace."

"But at this time, if they want to preserve Prussia, I'm afraid they will have to work hard on their own."

If you can't count on the king, then you have to ask the queen.

Solovyov thought about many aspects. Although Queen Louise is 31 years old, she is very charming, gentle and polite to others. She will respect even people of low status, and she looks weak in appearance, but But he is very strong inside.

But call the queen over. According to the wild history, the wild ones can no longer be wild.

The people in the Bonaparte family are all quite lustful, especially Napoleon and Lucien, who are the most capable. Men like beautiful women, and women like handsome young people. The fourth child, Louis, is more like his mother. But his family's affairs , that’s another matter.

Solovyov still remembered a rumor in Petersburg that Duke Enghien was almost killed because when he went to have an affair with the famous young actress Miss George, Napoleon also went there.

As for whether Napoleon was a patient of Archduke Karl and fell to the ground in convulsions, he still had some say.

This middle-aged Corsican with a big head and a thick neck is in good health. If he also has epilepsy, could it be caused by hemorrhoids?

In short, he didn't care about that, he was just ordered to greet the King of Prussia.

Of course, the king's words are now like a wilted eggplant, with his head drooping, and it is really difficult to express them in words.

The queen was dressed up carefully, just like what she saw in the portrait. This kind of light makeup is indeed very beautiful, much better than the poor face powder of the Bourbon royal family.

"His Majesty the King, General Solovyov of the Guards, by order of His Majesty the Emperor of our country, came here with his bodyguards to greet you."

"Okay. General, thank you for all your hard work."

Frederick William III could not say anything to Solovyov, he just said this in a moderate way.

Many of the French and servant armies destroyed in this war were the result of his victory. Even in the end, in order to preserve his strength, he advocated the retreat of the entire Russian army. As an ally, the monarch could not say anything.

But the queen looked at him with a meaningful look.

"General, it's hard to imagine that you and the French emperor are related."

"Queen Josephine is my stepmother's cousin and my aunt. The French emperor is my uncle, but I was the most fierce one in the war with the French. In peacetime, I can rely on relatives, but on the battlefield, I am either an ally or an opponent."

The queen was very satisfied after hearing this. This young general is still very reliable.

She smiled back, and when the king got into the car decadently, seeing that her husband was useless today, she asked this Russian general to help her get into the car.

When the queen stretched out her hand, Solovyov also understood.

"Your Majesty, I am happy to serve you, but you and your majesty should pay more attention. According to the progress of yesterday's negotiations, our emperor will try his best to fight for it, but the attitude that the French emperor may take is not like that towards Austria."

Queen Louise also knew that after she was helped into the car, she also whispered a few words to her FW king husband.

This made this decadent guy cheer up a little. At least he couldn't lose face in a formal occasion.

As for the couple's arrival at the meeting, Napoleon, introduced by Alexander, was acquainted with the King and Queen of Prussia, and they also had to negotiate further.

However, Napoleon also noticed Queen Louise, who was indeed very beautiful. Fortunately, the dirty talk he, Caulaincourt and Duroc made up about the queen was all said privately when the three of them were drinking coffee. There was no need to take it back, and no outsiders knew about it.

"Misha, look at the French emperor, your uncle. The way he looks at Queen Louise."

Davydov came here to take duty today, and now the Russian generals in Tilsit all know about Solovyov's relationship.

It was this big-mouthed guy who dared to say this to Solovyov in front of him.

Speaking of which, when Davydov's brother was captured, he was also received by Napoleon.

Solovyov listened and said helplessly: "If people of this status cannot hide their thoughts like the emperor, it's probably like this."

When he was with Polina, Solovyov had too much experience, and he didn't know what would happen to the queen today.
