Hearing William I's response, Jerome Bonaparte was immediately overjoyed, and he hurriedly gave his old father-in-law two nasty praises.

Jerome Bonaparte's praise made William I's wrinkled face show a look of joy. No one didn't like being flattered, especially being flattered by the current leader of the most powerful country in Europe.

However, this joy only lasted for a while, and William I returned to his serious expression and asked Jerome Bonaparte how he would face the British Kingdom and the Austrian Empire once his plan was successful.

After all, one of them was the chairman of the German Confederation, and the other was wary of the annexation of European territories by the French Empire.

During the period of the Kingdom of Orleans, the Netherlands, which was full of desire to bathe the French king and became a part of the territory, was forced to become a country independently under the interference of European powers.

Luxembourg is both a member of the German Confederation and a part of European territory, which is doomed to never get around these two countries.

Whether the annexation of the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg by the French Empire will cause a violent reaction from the British Kingdom and the Austrian Empire, and what impact will it have on the Netherlands and the French Empire, is a question that Jerome Bonaparte has to consider.

William I knew his son-in-law in the Netherlands too well, and he would never sit and put himself in danger.

"The German Confederation, especially the states of South Germany, please help me get in touch! As long as the vassal states of South Germany agree, then the Austrian Empire must have no reason to oppose it! The current Austrian Empire is asking us! Jerome Bonaparte paused and said confidently: "As for the Kingdom of Britain! As long as the Kingdom of Britain wants to continue fighting, they will also rely on us!"

Despite what Jerome Bonaparte said, William I still had some doubts whether the Kingdom of Britain would really go according to Jerome Bonaparte's ideas.

"Father, please tell my Dutch brother-in-law, and he can sell it with confidence! If there is a problem, I will bear it all by myself!" Jerome Bonaparte responded to William I in a comprehensive manner. .

Since Jerome Bonaparte has already planned for Luxembourg, he will never allow himself to face failure!

"Okay then!" Looking at the confident Jerome Bonaparte in front of him, William I nodded and said, "Just be sure!"

After a while, Mercury returned to Jerome Bonaparte and William I, and reported to him the placement of Franz Joseph and Princess Sissi.

"I see! You did a great job!" Jerome Bonaparte immediately praised Mocar.

"This is what I should do!" Mercury responded humbly to Jerome Bonaparte.

Then, under the order of Jerome Bonaparte, Mercury sent William I back to his room.

In the hall of the Tuileries Palace, only Jerome Bonaparte and the servants who came and went in the Tuileries Palace were left.

Jerome Bonaparte, who stood in the same place and pondered for a moment, raised his head again. He pointed to one of the servants and said, "Come here!"

The servant who was pointed by Jerome Bonaparte was startled for a few seconds, then came to Jerome Bonaparte and said, "Your Majesty!"

"You go immediately to the stable and prepare a carriage for me!" Jerome Bonaparte gave the servant an order in an unquestionable tone: "Remember to hurry!"

"Yes, Your Majesty!" The servant responded quickly, then turned and trotted away.

About a few minutes later, Mocart came to Jerome Bonaparte again.

Before Mocar could speak, the servant who was called by Jerome Bonaparte to the stable came to Jerome Bonaparte panting heavily and said to Jerome Bonaparte, "Your Majesty, the carriage Already prepared!"

Mocart looked at Jerome Bonaparte in astonishment, "Your Majesty, where are you going?"

"Dock d'Orsay!" Jerome Bonaparte said where he was about to go.

"Your Majesty, why don't you go tomorrow! It's so late, I'm afraid that in the middle..." Mercury was a little worried about the safety of Jerome Bonaparte,

"No!" The resolute Jerome Bonaparte firmly rejected Mocar's opinion.

"Then I'll accompany you there!" Mercury said to Jerome Bonaparte.

"Ok!"

Jerome Bonaparte nodded and agreed with Mocart to follow him. The master and servant entered the carriage one after the other.

The dark carriage carrying Jerome Bonaparte and Mocart set off, and soon hid in the darkness, leaving only the wind lamp waving back and forth at the rear of the carriage.

At this time, Jerome Bonaparte and Mocart didn't know yet. Franz Joseph, who lived in the Tuileries Palace, happened to see them clearly when they left the Tuileries Palace in a carriage.

Standing by the window, watching the carriage gradually disappearing into the night, Franz Joseph's face showed a hint of vigilance: "Where are they going?"

Franz Joseph, who has been feeling inexplicably irritable since he entered France, feels like a puppet being led. Every word, every movement, and even every step of his are carefully controlled by his courtiers. As designed, this is simply an unbearable thing for a monarch who is accustomed to self-reliance in Austria. The paranoia caused by boredom has caused Franz Joseph to have a kind of "there are always bad people who want to harm me". psychology.

The fact that Jerome Bonaparte and Mocard left the Tuileries Palace late at night aggravated Franz Joseph's mentality. He began to pace back and forth in the room, thinking about where Jerome Bonaparte might go. Place.

Are they going to negotiate peace with the Russian Empire? An absurd thought welled up in Joseph Franz's mind.

After a while, he shook his head and rejected the idea.

After thinking twice, Franz Joseph decided to find Prince Metternich for answers.

He quickly walked to the door, opened the door, and walked out of the room.

The servant in charge of patrolling the corridor saw Joseph Franz standing in the corridor and said respectfully, "Your Majesty Franz, what are your orders!"

Franz Joseph put on a dignified face and asked the servant, "Do you know where Prince Metternich's room is?"

The servant nodded and responded to Franz Joseph, "Please come with me!"

Under the guidance of the servant, Franz Joseph came to a door made of fir wood.

"His Excellency Prince Metternich is inside!" The servant responded respectfully to Metternich.

"Thank you for your hard work!" Franz Joseph nodded and thanked the servant.

"It's my honor to be able to guide you!" The servant who was thanked by Franz Joseph responded to Franz Joseph with an excited expression on his face.

After the servant left, Franz Joseph gently knocked on the door.

"Who?" An old but majestic voice came from inside the door.

Hearing Prince Metternich's voice, Franz Joseph's restless heart finally had a trace of peace.

"Advisor Metternich, it's me, Franz Joseph!" Franz Joseph responded to the door.

After half a minute, the door opened, and Prince Metternich appeared in front of Franz Joseph.

"Your Majesty, please come in!" Metternich didn't ask Franz Joseph's intention, he directly extended his hand to invite Franz Joseph into the room.

After Franz Joseph entered the room, Prince Metternich closed the door again, and the two of them sat on the sofa near the window.

"What's the matter with your Majesty's late-night visit?" Prince Metternich, who was sitting on the sofa, asked Franz Joseph with a smile.

Franz Joseph told Prince Metternich about what he saw just now, and then asked Metternich's advisor, where did the French emperor go in the middle of the night?

"Your Majesty, are you worried that the French Empire will be detrimental to the Austrian Empire?" Prince Metternich asked Franz Joseph to the point.

"Consultant Metternich, I can't help but worry about this!" Franz Joseph put on a bitter expression and replied to Metternich in a low voice, "When Bonaparte caused damage to the Empire last time, It has not been completely healed up to now (here refers to the national debt issued by the Austrian Empire during the Napoleonic Wars and has not been repaid to this day), our Austrian Empire cannot repeat the mistakes of the past~www.novelhall.com~ Your Majesty, I would like to ask Do we still have a choice?" Metternich's advisor asked back, "The Austrian Empire has already offended the Russian Empire, so should we offend the French Empire?"

Facing Prince Metternich's question, Franz Joseph fell silent.

Indeed, it is impossible for the Austrian Empire to offend the French Empire after offending the Russian Empire.

Annoying Bonaparte, the Austrian Empire may find it difficult to find allies.

"If the French Empire and the Russian Empire conclude a peace treaty, what will happen to the Austrian Empire!" Franz Joseph also raised his own concerns.

"Your Majesty, sooner or later, the French Empire and the Russian Empire will conclude a peace treaty!" Prince Metternich responded to Franz Joseph with a firm tone: "Because the French Empire is unable to conquer the Russian Empire, they can only keep cutting the branches of the Russian Empire. Do it so that the Russian Empire cannot interfere in Europe for a while!"

"Then the situation of the Austrian Empire..." Franz Joseph said worriedly to Prince Metternich.

"Your Majesty, as long as the Empire cannot sit back and watch the Russian Empire penetrate into the Balkans, then we will inevitably have a conflict with the Russian Empire!" Prince Metternich said bitterly to Franz Joseph: "So now the Empire needs France, and It's not that France needs an empire!"
