Chapter 746： Poland under compromise

"Forming a cabinet for the first time? What's the use of me asking for this right?"

The conditions of Grand Duke Maximilian did not make Czartoryski happy. For an 84-year-old man who did not have a strong desire for power, he only hoped to see Poland independent from the Russian Empire in his lifetime, and then It is enough to establish a republic.

However, Poland was indeed independent, but could not establish a republic as he wished.

Such a result made Czartoryski feel a little unacceptable.

"Father, you can use this right granted to you by Your Majesty to choose a successor who can execute your will!" Verde said to Czartoryski.

"Inherit my will?" Hearing Verde's words, Czartoryski's emotions erupted immediately, and a disdainful smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, "Even my son has betrayed me, what can I do now? I want others to inherit my will!"

"Father, I..." With a shy expression on Verde's face, he said hesitantly, "I didn't betray you, I just think... think..."

"What do you think?" Prince Czartoryski scolded Verde unceremoniously, "Do you think that your father is too old to be able to help you, so you want to betray impatiently. he!"

"No! No!" Vielde shook his head desperately, squatted beside Prince Czartoryski and held Prince Czartorysky's hand and said to him: "My respected father! I can swear, I The respect and love for you will never change!

Everything I do is also to continue your ideals! "

"My ideal?" Czartoryski said furiously to Verde: "Vierde, you have followed me for nearly thirty years, don't you know what my ideal is?"

"Father!" Verde responded sincerely to Czartoryski: "I know that you want to turn Poland into a republic without emperors and nobles, but you should also be very clear that it is impossible for Poland to be a monarchy now. Surrounded by the successful establishment of a republic!

I can tell you with certainty that the French Empire will never help us and the Austrian Empire will not give us Galicia-Cracow if you insist on establishing a republic in Poland!

So for the sake of the overall situation, I implore you to give up this unrealistic ideal and choose a safe path! "

"You have only met that Maximilian a few times, so you are so sure that he is the safe way!" Czartoryski asked Verde as if he was deliberately raising his bar, "In my opinion, he said The so-called "universal" elections are just empty bills before he ascends to the throne!

When he is firmly on the throne, he will immediately tighten his control over Poland like his older brother, so as to achieve the purpose of his dictatorship. I have seen many such tricks! "

After listening to Czartoryski's words, Verde shook his head and replied firmly to Czartoryski: "Father, although I have only met Grand Duke Maximilian once, I don't think he will be like him. Emperor Franz Joseph!

I believe that Archduke Maximilian really wants to lead Poland into modernization, get rid of all the shackles and bad habits that existed before... Make Poland strong again! "

For Verde's answer, Czartoryski was silent for a moment, he sighed again, and his originally angry face returned to its former calmness.

Verde knew that his father had let go of the past and began to face the present.

After a while, Czartoryski said slowly, "Wild!"

"Father!" Verde quickly responded to Czartoryski.

"Tell me honestly, does Grand Duke Maximilian have any other conditions besides this one?" Czartoryski said to Verde.

"In addition to promising to give you the right to form a cabinet for the first time, Your Majesty also promised to let me serve as his secretary!" Verde said frankly to Czartoryski.

"You promised him?" Czartoryski asked, even though he already knew the answer in his heart.

"Yes!" Verde nodded and said to Czartoryski.

"Okay! I get it!" Czartoryski patted Verde on the shoulder. Gradually, Verde's childhood face appeared in Czartoryski's eyes, overlapping with the current Verde. Together.

Before he knew it, his son was in his thirties, and he too should have his own path to follow, and his (Czartorski) ideals should not be imposed on him (Wilder).

Looking at Vered who was squatting in front of him, Czartoryski's face showed a relieved smile: "Verd, you have grown up!"

"Father, I will always be your son!" After feeling the change in Czartoryski's demeanor, Vierde also shouted.

Immediately afterwards, Prince Czartoryski ordered Verde to go to the study with him. Verde followed behind Czartoryski with a kerosene lamp, illuminating the way to the study for Czartoryski.

After reaching the study, Prince Czartoryski took out a piece of paper from the drawer, and he handed it to Verde.

"Father, is this?" Verde looked at Czar Torreski curiously.

"Didn't Maximilian authorize me to form a new cabinet? Just hand over the names on the list to him!" Czartoryski said slowly to Verde.

Verde opened the note, and sure enough, the note was the candidates for cabinet ministers and the snobbery behind them.

It can be said that with this note, Maximilian will at least take a long detour.

"Father, when did you write this?" Verde looked at Czartorski in surprise.

"I wrote this after you left with His Majesty Jerome Bonaparte!" Czartoryski said to Verde, "Okay! Don't talk nonsense, tomorrow morning you will Give this to Maximilian, and follow Maximilian to Vienna! I'll settle things for you in Poland!"

"Father, what are you going to do?" Verde was a little worried that Czartoryski was not taken care of.

"I'll just stay in Paris!" Prince Czartoryski replied to Verde.

"However, your body..." Verde was a little worried that there was something wrong with Czartoryski's body.

"Don't worry!" Czartoryski patted his chest and replied to Verde: "I won't die in a while!"

"But…"

"What's not possible!" Czar Torres scolded Verde again with a face: "I didn't have a mother-in-law like you back then, and I always did what I wanted..."

Having said that, Czartoryski once again told Verde about his "great achievements" in 1830.

What every old man likes to do in his spare time is to brag about his past.

…

At noon the next day, Verde appeared again at the Tuinlery Palace to meet Maximilian.

"Your Majesty, this is the list of members that my father asked me to give you!" Verde handed the list to the Archduke Maximilian.

Archduke Maximilian, like Verde, went over every member of the list carefully.

After a while, Archduke Maximilian smiled and said to Verde: "Thank you to Prince Czartoryski for me!"

Later, Verde told Archduke Maximilian that his father had "expelled" him and that he was now homeless.

Maximilian immediately understood what Prince Czartoryski meant, and he immediately ordered Verde to go back and prepare, and they would leave for Vienna tomorrow.

"Your Majesty, I'll go back and prepare right away!" Verde replied to Grand Duke Maximilian, then turned around to prepare to go back.

"That's right!" Maximilian suddenly stopped Vered, and under Vered's suspicious gaze, he handed Vered a gem, "You give this to your father Czartoryski!"

"Your Majesty, I can't ask for anything from you!" Verde hurriedly rejected the gift from Grand Duke Maximilian. UU Reading

"It's not for you! It's for your father!" Maximilian insisted on handing over the gem to Verde. "Tell Lord Czartoryski that I, Maximilian, are very respectful. He is a patriot!

Although this gem cannot make up for the enthusiasm and money he has invested in the Kingdom of Poland over the years, it also represents a little bit of my own thoughts!

Please be sure to bring this gem to your father! "

Under Maximilian's firm gaze, Verde accepted the jewel of the Archduke Maximilian, and then bowed solemnly to the Archduke Maximilian.

"On behalf of my father, I would like to express my gratitude to His Majesty!"

After speaking, Verde turned and left.

After Wilder had left, Count Bauer appeared in the room of the Grand Duke Maximilian and asked about the progress of the Grand Duke Maximilian.

"I finally know why he can be loved by most parties in Poland!" Maximilian handed the list to Count Bauer.

Count Bauer glanced at the list and found that most of the people on the list were not members of Czartorysky's party, but Czartorysky could treat them as ministers equally.

"Prince Czartoryski really has a heart that ordinary people don't have!" Count Bauer also sighed with emotion.

Returning home again, Verde handed the gem to Czartoryski, and told Czartoryski exactly what Archduke Maximilian said.

Czartoryski nodded slightly, and warned his son to keep a cautious attitude in Vienna and not to be arrogant.

Because there is no one in this world that cannot be replaced.
