Schwarzenberg knew that this time he would inevitably bleed and be slaughtered by Duke Alexander again. Although he was very angry and unwilling, he also knew that he couldn't continue pretending to be an ostrich and procrastinate. The public opinion in the past two days was very unfavorable to him. If he procrastinated for a while, those political allies might feel guilty in their hearts.

Schwarzenberg immediately decided to go to Duke Alexander, but things were not that simple. Because after he arrived at the embassy in person, he was told that Duke Alexander had gone hunting, and he didn't know when he would come back.

Schwarzenberg knew that Duke Alexander did it on purpose, to humiliate him. But now that people are using knives and we are fish, he can only grit his teeth and bear with it: "Where did your Excellency go hunting?"

Schwarzenberg felt that he had lowered his posture and was ready to rush over to find Duke Alexander in person, so the Russians should be satisfied, right?

But what Schwarzenberg did not expect was that the Russian embassy told him: "Sorry, the whereabouts of Duke Alexander are classified, and we cannot tell you!"

This made Schwarzenberg so angry that he almost jumped. He felt that the Russian guy was setting his nose and face and didn't put him in his eyes at all, otherwise he could be so humiliated?

But this time Schwarzenberg was really wrong, because Duke Alexander really didn't mean to humiliate him intentionally. He was invited to go hunting this time, and he didn't know when Schwarzenberg would figure it out. As for not telling Schwarzenberg where he was hunting, it was because after the last assassination, the entire Russian embassy had stepped up its security level, and the whereabouts of important officials were all kept secret.

It's just that even if these were explained to Schwarzenberg, this guy wouldn't listen, because he had already determined that Duke Alexander was deliberately retaliating and humiliating him, and it was completely intentional.

So he left the Russian embassy in a huff, and then asked around about the whereabouts of Duke Alexander. After a lot of trouble, he learned that Duke Alexander had gone to Schönbrunn Palace together at the invitation of Grand Duke Franz Karl.

Then Schwarzenberg did not rush to Schönbrunn Palace rashly. After all, it was the palace of the Habsburg family and the core of politics. There were large groups of nobles and celebrities all day long. If these people see that they are flattering themselves to please Duke Alexander, maybe there will be some ugly words coming out!

Although Schwarzenberg is already mentally prepared to be ripped off, he still has face after all, and he really can't do such a shameless thing.

So Schwarzenberg did not rush to Schönbrunn Palace, but asked the coachman to take him to wait on the road to Schönbrunn Palace, planning to have an unexpected encounter with Duke Alexander on the road.

I have to say that Schwarzenberg is indeed not a qualified politician, he is a bit too shameless, and the trick of the politician business is to be shameless. He felt that he had maintained his dignity as an aristocrat and the Austrian Prime Minister, but he didn't know that he would sometimes be self-defeating.

why? Because the aristocrats coming and going in Schönbrunn Palace are really old and young, and the luxury carriage with the Schwarzenberg family badge is parked on the side of the road, even if the windows are tightly blocked, as long as you are not stupid We all know that the Prime Minister is inside.

So soon there were nobles whispering in Schönbrunn Palace, discussing why Schwarzenberg didn't enter Schönbrunn Palace, but waited on the road stupidly.

Of course, there was everything to say at the beginning, because these idle nobles are the most gossipy group of people, especially those in Schönbrunn Palace are the kings of gossip.

"It seems that His Majesty and the Queen don't like the Prime Minister very much. You know, it's not rumored that the Prime Minister is planning to support Grand Duke Franz Karl..."

"What do you know, both His Majesty and the Empress are heartless, they don't care much about the throne... The one who is really upset is our protagonist today, Grand Duke Franz Joseph, who is so angry that he can't succeed immediately Woolen cloth!"

"Extremely, extremely! No wonder the prime minister didn't come to participate in the hunting trip of His Excellency the Grand Duke. It seems that the relationship is really tense!"

If Schwarzenberg knew what these nobles were guessing, he would probably be out of his wits. Who said he wanted to support that idiot Franz Karl! Wasn't he given to the general by the Russians and couldn't help it! As for why Grand Duke Franz Joseph didn't invite him to the hunt, this question is indeed a problem. Does this kid have any objections to him?

Whether Archduke Franz Joseph had a problem with Schwarzenberg is hard to say. Because this eighteen-year-old grand duke is very difficult to think about, not because he is very rich, but because he is a bit nervous, sometimes he is energetic and fighting, and sometimes he is gloomy and lifeless.

Let's put it this way, this young Grand Duke really wants to start a career and turn the tide, so he works very hard, but he lacks rationality and rationality in doing things, and is easy to be dominated by emotions.

For example, now, in a chat with Duke Alexander and the special envoy of the Kingdom of Prussia, he spoke impassionedly about the special friendship of the three countries during the Napoleonic Wars, and asked the three countries to reunite and advance together:

"Gentlemen, this is the beginning of a new chaos. If we are not united as before, we will make the mistakes of the past and be broken by the enemy one by one again...We must fight shoulder to shoulder and unite so that we can stabilize Europe and end this war." riot!"

If he only said so much, it’s fine, but sometimes he is easily agitated and bossy, probably because of the unity and friendship of the three countries in the Napoleon era, he suddenly sighed to Duke Alexander:

"Your Excellency, especially your country, you should shoulder more responsibilities instead of blindly hiding behind and calling fire and looting. This will not help solve any problems!"

This sudden accusation made the scene embarrassing. No one thought that the Grand Duke would suddenly open fire on Russia, and he would be merciless and aggressive as soon as he came up. silent.

What is the role of Duke Alexander, who can be stunned by a kid, and he smiled slightly: "Your Excellency, maintaining the traditional friendship of the three countries is our common wish, and our country has been working hard for this, otherwise our country will not Will send troops to help you put down the rebellion no matter the cost."

"Your accusations just now are completely contrary to the facts, almost ungrateful! Based on the traditional friendship between the two countries, I tolerate your abruptness and recklessness. But I think it is precisely because there are many people like you who did not understand the facts. Those who open their mouths to comment and express their opinions make it difficult for us to be united as before! Because the first thing that is needed for unity is full respect!"
