Solovyov in Tsarist Russia 1796

Chapter 481 058 Some people give out medals, and some people return them

Queen Louise is leaning against the bed, trying to stay awake and talking to Soloviev.

She did not suffer any injustice from Napoleon today. On the contrary, the French emperor, who she used to despise and whose family background was humble, treated her very courteously.

Even if he wanted her body, there would always be a process, and this kind of thing sounds a bit too ridiculous.

With their current status, generally having a lover will develop downwards. If you say it, the situation of Soloviev and Louisa is more normal.

Even if she is the wife of Louis XIII, if she really wants to find a lover, the Duke of Buckingham's status is too sensitive, and the bishop may also take some necessary measures.

But her husband's behavior really broke her heart.

At this time, the doctor is not here, and she also wants to find someone to talk to.

Her heart is so cold.

"Baron, what do you think of my performance today?"

"As a queen, no one in this era should do better than you. It is rare for even men to stand up in times of crisis. If you were not born in Mecklenburg-Strelitz, you might be more suitable. That's probably what I mean. Please don't be surprised."

"This kind of praise is a burden at this time. The life I had before can't be returned. Thank you, Baron, at least you can come to comfort me."

At this point, Queen Louise also felt tired, so she leaned against the head of the bed, with her arm still on Soloviev, after all, she was taking Soloviev's pulse while talking.

By the way, the queen's hands and feet are really beautiful, her figure is relatively plump, but her limbs look very coordinated.

"No wonder my uncle the emperor's eyes changed when he saw you."

"But you attendants and generals, even if you are foreigners, don't spread such rumors."

"Your Highness, your reputation is still very important. Because you are the queen, you can't be like... Men have some advantages in this regard. Among the noble ladies, the spouses of the monarch are subject to the most restrictions."

After saying this, Queen Louise thought about her sister Frederica, who first became a widow, and then married a little duke with a child.

In the future, she will remarry again after her husband dies.

Louise is different. Her husband is a king, but he is also relatively cowardly and pays special attention to such rumors.

If Solovyov was not good at using herbs, his identity as Napoleon's cheap nephew would be enough to make the Prussian king jealous.

Who knows if he is a pimp for his uncle?

What he meant was that Solovyov wanted to be close to the queen, and it was unlikely that he would help his uncle to pimp, after all, his relatives were on Josephine's side.

He couldn't make things difficult for his aunt, could he?

In this regard, his position was similar to Eugene's, and he even complained that French men came to Poland and were conquered by Polish women, which was completely due to their simple and peaceful character.

Of course, after the medicine was brought, Queen Louise would not be cured immediately after taking a dose of it, but she felt much better.

"Thank you, Baron. I didn't expect your herbs to be more useful at this time."

"If you need it, Your Highness, you can send people to Moscow and St. Petersburg to purchase. After all, we have sufficient supply here. The more precious herbs are picked and imported from places suitable for growing herbs in China and North America."

"No wonder I heard from August that your queen has been in poor health, but after giving birth, her complexion has improved a lot."

Fortunately, Solovyov is paying attention to the queen's pulse at this moment, instead of sending her eyes to expose the target.

Otherwise, with the queen's gossip level, as long as she can guess, it is hard to say whether the rumor will be spread later.

You know, although Louisa has a lover, he has always been relatively hidden, and Alexander pretended not to know, and even pointed in the wrong direction when investigating.

No matter where you think about it, you can't think that such a loyal Solovyov can do such an unspeakable thing.

Even if Alexander suspected that he had an affair with Maria, or even his most doting sister Catherine, he would not think of his wife.

"Ah, that's right, because Her Highness Elizabeth Alexeevna is indeed recuperating, but these health-care medicines are the most useful."

As for Prince August, he has always been the protagonist of some European scandals, and there may be other rumors in the future that can be related to him.

I have to thank him. Madame Recamier is in St. Petersburg, and she can actually provide a lot of news about Paris, even if it is expired, it can be used to analyze the political ecology of Paris.

Who let her have General Moreau and Napoleon's brother Lucien around her, and she can also find out a lot of things in the banker circle?

"I want to visit St. Petersburg after a while. After all, I have a very deep friendship with Elena. The citizens of Berlin love her just as much as they love me."

"Are you really going to St. Petersburg?"

"Why not? I think my husband... He might..."

At this point, Queen Louise began to cry again. This time, she was heartbroken.

Although Alexander's new imperial physician may have learned too much bloodletting when he was young, his basic skills are still good enough.

The reason why Queen Louise fell ill was not just because she was caught in the rain, but because she was sad enough.

"Don't think so, think more about the children, such as Princess Charlotte."

At this point, Queen Louise also knew that Solovyov was the teacher of Grand Duke Nicholas and still had a say in the court.

At this time, she said this, which should have revealed something before.

"Are you thinking about your students?"

"Yes, although Nicholas is still young, I think if you go to St. Petersburg, you will probably know why I said this. When Her Highness Maria chatted with me once, she also praised the princess for being smart and sensible."

The relationship between Maria and Solovyov has always been subtle. If they say it's ambiguous, the latter can't avoid this little girl. If they say they are just ordinary friends, it's too close. After all, among the young officers I know in the palace, there are relatively few who can do things like him.

Moreover, some special talents can impress Maria in music and poetry, which is a special bonus. Other guards officers, except Davydov who is an outstanding poet, are more or less lame to publish poems.

That is to say, Pushkin is still a child in the Imperial Village Preparatory School, otherwise he might be more popular.

"If that's the case, I hope to go to Petersburg and meet your students."

"His Royal Highness Nicholas is just young, otherwise the girls in Petersburg will be crazy about him."

Compared with the repeated academic performance caused by not studying hard and always thinking about training, Nicholas's handsome appearance is more durable. He is not the bald image of middle-aged and elderly people now.

Having said this, the queen herself is still quite satisfied. She asked Solovyov again, that is, Alexander's previous statement is very important.

Agree to contact Prussia, and may consider choosing Princess Charlotte when considering marriage in the future, but Nicholas is still young, and it will take a few years to put this issue on the table.

Finding a wife for an 11-year-old child, except for Louis XV who was anxious to get married because the Bourbon family almost broke off the bloodline, is actually not too urgent.

That's how it was, Solovyov can finally finish today's task and go back to sleep.

In the next few days, after the peace treaty was signed, Prussia was already miserable enough, and King FW had to force a smile to attend a series of receptions.

Queen Louise's illness was very timely, and the good thing was that the king himself needed to experience the pressure that the queen felt at the time, what kind of intensity.

Alexander also mediated, at least preserving the most basic base for Prussia, but this also returned to the time before Frederick invaded Silesia overnight, which can be said to be bad enough.

But peace is always better than war.

At this time, Alexander also proposed that he and Napoleon award various medals to each other's important personnel.

Napoleon also agreed to this link.

The main medal awarded by France to Russia was the Legion of Honor. Alexander naturally received the highest level medal, and the generals below, and even a guard soldier who performed bravely in the battle, also received this award.

And the medals awarded by Russia to France, from the Order of Saint Andrew the Apostle to the Order of Alexander Nevsky, etc., still exist.

The Prussian king also wanted to issue the highest level medals to the monarchs of both sides, and the generals below naturally had to issue them.

Solovyov had nothing to do here today, just following behind Alexander, and also received a third-class commander-level medal of the Legion of Honor.

Although he was just a "young general", his performance in the war was indeed very eye-catching, and it was difficult not to attract the attention of the French.

What's more, he was actually a relative of the emperor.

Even Napoleon promised that after returning to Paris, he would also grant Baron Sergei the corresponding title and honor.

A Russian nobleman was awarded the title of Count of the French Empire because of his wife and capable son. Although it sounds abstract, it is not surprising considering that abstractionism is a joint work of France and Russia.

As for the medals issued by Prussia, Solovyov had previously won the Red Eagle Medal, and this time he could only be awarded the Blue Medal. Even Prussia does not have a medal for soldiers now, and low-ranking officers often cannot get it. The highest reward may still be killed in action.

It is still funny to think that there will be German officers who will fight a lawsuit with their pen and mouth because of a medal in the future.

Moreover, this medal has to be hung around the neck, and Frederick William III will also decorate it with an oak leaf.

Considering that he often wears a monocle and holds a small whip in the staff, it is true that the German stick leaders are all in Russia.

But in public, it is generally not like this. Consider this issue after being promoted to lieutenant general.

The problem now is that Solovyov's merits are almost enough to qualify for a lieutenant general, but he was only promoted to major general at the beginning of this year. Even if Paul was still there, the impact of the fast promotion channel would have to be considered.

Many generals who were promoted from middle and lower-level officers within a few years had mediocre prospects. In the military, seniority is the basis for promotion, and if your background is not good, you will not be able to succeed.

At this time, it should be peaceful, and the monarchs of France and Russia have temporarily ended the hostility on the European continent.

However, there are always people who will perform performance art at this time. Even when he just arrived at Jelgava, Alexander was already angry.

"Gustav, how dare he do this?"

"Your Majesty, we signed a peace treaty with the French emperor in Tilsit and became an ally. Gustav IV expressed strong dissatisfaction with this and returned the Order of Saint Andrew the Apostle that was previously awarded to him."

When saying this, Badberg was still very careful about Alexander's emotions. He rarely showed it like this, and usually let people around him guess his attitude.

But Gustav IV, after all, is his brother-in-law, and the two families are cousins. Logically, the relationship should be relatively close. Even if the countries are hostile, the exchanges between monarchs should still proceed normally.

However, when Gustav IV's father, Gustav III, was alive, he deliberately became hostile to Russia and triggered a Russo-Swedish war. Alexander was still a child at that time and was still deeply impressed by this incident.

Gustav IV was a discotheque in a minefield. He broke off his engagement and almost made his sister Alexandra unable to get married. Later, he provoked the Russian side on bilateral issues several times.

Now that he heard about the peace talks between France and Russia, he turned on the crazy mode and directly returned the medal awarded by Russia to protest. It can be said that it was a serious diplomatic insult.

But Alexander is more concerned about the attitude of the British. If Russia joins the continental blockade, the impact on Britain may be just the loss of a huge market. Britain, a supplier of raw materials, has many places to choose from. If you have control of the sea, you can do whatever you want.

But the British have not jumped out yet, and Sweden, which is closer, has become the first bird to come out, which really makes him very dissatisfied.

If necessary, Alexander even wants to send troops to directly teach Gustav IV a lesson.

Solovyov listened from the side and knew that this was a good opportunity to make military achievements. After all, he went to Sweden when he was traveling as a staff officer.

As for the situation in Sweden, he escorted Alexander's father-in-law all the way back to the European continent, so he still had some understanding.

Besides, fighting the Swedes is always more profitable than gaining experience packs from Türkiye.
