War Palace and Knee Pillow, Austria’s Destiny

Chapter 58 Queen Regent Christina

"Your Majesty, good news, this is related to the future of France, the future of the dynasty, and even the future of Europe and the world."

Louis Philippe was different from the mainstream monarchs of this era. He did not like to wear military uniforms and costumes, preferring more down-to-earth casual clothes to maintain his image as a citizen king.

However, the public does not think highly of him. The upper class calls him the Barricade King, while the common people call him the Yali King. Yali means idiot. The reason is that he is different from the previous kings of France. Louis Philippe admires him very much. British style politics, so delegate power to your ministers.

As a result, Louis Philippe raised a group of shocking corrupt criminals, and the people's dissatisfaction with the French government was all tilted towards this hapless king.

At this time, Louis Philippe was wearing casual clothes and smiling. Although he had already listened to Thiers' report once, he still acted like he was listening, as if he were a wise king in ancient times.

"Mr. Guizot, I feel that supporting Carlos and getting involved in the Spanish Civil War is not in France's interests."

"Your Majesty, Carlos?" Guizot waved his hand quickly, "No, no, no, please listen to me."

Louis-Philippe, however, did not let Guizot continue.

"I am not an ultra-conservative like Tsar Nicholas I. I am loyal to France and the Charter."

Tsar Nicholas I was very supportive of Carlos. He refused to recognize the Spanish government led by the Queen Regent and broke off diplomatic relations with it as soon as possible. He even publicly declared that "a bitch and a slut are not worthy of leading Spain."

Queen Regent Christina's personal life was very chaotic. As soon as her husband Ferdinando VII died, she took her lover into her palace and completed the wedding under the witness of a priest.

Even on the night that Ferdinando VII died, she was still lingering with her lover. After that, she gave birth to a child for her lover every year and even raised her in the Royal Palace of Madrid.

This made the ultra-conservative Tsar Nicholas I identify the regent Queen Christina as his sworn enemy.

If the territories of Russia and Spain were connected, I am afraid that the Cossack cavalry would have rushed into the Royal Palace of Madrid and killed the Queen Regent, her lover, and all the "evils".

"Your Majesty, the person writing this letter is the Queen Regent Cristina, who wants to betrothed to Queen Isabella II of Spain. This is very important to us in France."

Before Guizot could finish speaking, Louis-Philippe, who always liked to show off, lost his nerve and snatched the letter from Guizot's hand.

[Dear Sir Louis Philippe. I, Queen Regent Cristina of Spain, on behalf of the Kingdom of Spain, hope that you can accept our marriage. This is for the friendship between Spain and France, for the future of both countries, and for Europe and the world. of peace.

We are obliged to do so and look forward to hearing from you.

——

Queen Regent of Spain, Maria Cristina. 】

Louis-Philippe could feel his heart burning. It had not felt like this for a long time. A decision he makes now is very likely to determine the fate of France and even Europe.

Louis Philippe sympathized with Carlos in his heart, and Carlos must have made great determination to let his eldest son marry his daughter. This marriage was indeed beneficial to France.

But this is nothing compared to the fact that Louis Philippe's son married the Queen of Spain.

In fact, there was one person more surprised than Louis Philippe, and that was Thiers, whose jaw almost dropped to the ground.

Thiers would never have imagined that within one day two contenders for the Spanish throne would offer an olive branch to France, and he understood the significance.

And the Queen Regent's rule was even less stable than Carlos's. Once the Carlists are destroyed, it will not be difficult for France to bring down this stained Queen Regent.

By that time, Louis Philippe could also serve as regent of Spain, which would be wonderful for France.

Thiers couldn't help but say, "God bless France, long live France!"

Guizot also said "Long live France!"

Louis Philippe took a deep breath and calmed down his excitement.

"Gentlemen, fire a salute! One hundred and one shots."

Thiers and Guizot looked at each other. This was not the right time to fire a salute.

"Excuse me, gentlemen. I meant pop the champagne and let's celebrate!"

The attendant immediately brought champagne and filled the glasses for the three of them.

"Long live France!" The three wine glasses clinked together.

Vienna, Schönbrunn Palace.

To be honest, Franz was also surprised. He was surprised that the Queen Regent's shamelessness had exceeded his lower limit. He felt that no matter how vicious a woman was, she would not use her own children as props, but he was wrong.

At this time, Isabella II was less than six years old and was directly sold as a bargaining chip by the Queen Regent.

The Queen Regent of Spain is a woman who can do such a thing for her own power. She is really a character. Franz underestimated her before.

In Franz's previous plan, he planned to have the Queen Regent ask the British for help.

Although there were some deviations in the plan, the goal was achieved, and Britain and France would definitely intervene in the Spanish Civil War.

Because as long as the French intervene, Britain will have to intervene. Britain will not sit back and watch France and Spain unite. This will not only break the balance on the European continent, but also threaten the British homeland.

The reason why Queen Regent Cristina reacted so quickly was because Franz also wrote a letter to her in order to prevent the Spanish government forces from being caught off guard.

When writing a letter to the Queen Regent, as long as you leave XXX, which says I love you, on the signature, the Queen Regent will definitely receive it.

After all, even the Queen Regent herself doesn't know how many lovers she has had, and her subordinates don't even know. They can't afford to delay the Queen Regent's good deeds.

The queen regent was furious when she opened the letter, because it actually stated that Carlos had secretly contacted Louis Philippe and was willing to let his heir marry a princess of the Orleans family in exchange for French support.

The Queen Regent's lover also saw this letter. The reason why he became the Queen Regent's lover was that he was handsome enough, and he could accept the Queen Regent's hobbies. Therefore, the letters between the Queen Regent and her lovers They all watched it together.

Monte, the lover of the Queen Regent, was nothing more than a sergeant. He was so frightened that he almost peed when he heard that the French wanted to support Carlos.

"Queen, my queen, let's surrender. The French are coming. One Frenchman can fight ten Spaniards. We can't win..."

The Napoleonic Wars caused great disaster to Spain. According to legend, the French were more ferocious than man-eating devils.

Queen Regent Christina slapped Monte down with a backhand, then squatted on the ground and held his face.

"It's really a waste of your good skin."

Monte saw the coldness in the Queen Regent's eyes, and his survival instinct prompted him to lick the Queen Regent's boots.

The Queen Regent looked at Sergeant Monte with pity, "Don't worry, Carlos has a son, and I have a daughter!"

The fierce determination in his eyes made the air around him freeze, and Monte licked her boots harder.
