He was going to find Lin Yiqing.

He has always been very concerned about Lin Yiqing's deeds.

He believes that only Lin Yiqing can bring him a bright future.

Cai Tinghan walked out of the room, walked slowly through the narrow hall, went downstairs, and went out to the lawn below. He had seen a lot of people like the head of the department, he never tried to understand them, he only knew that he was very different from them in action. He knows where his actions come from, and there is a principle that he must uphold.

He stopped. The afterglow of the setting sun rests silently on the gray limestone ribbon that surrounds the brick walls of the college building before it fades for a moment. He forgot about the people, about the head of the department and about the unhappiness he faced. He just wanted to enjoy this moment of tranquility in the twilight.

"That envoy of the Emperor of Qianguo has entered the territory of the empire?" Austro-Hungarian Emperor Franz? Joseph asked a minister.

"Yes, Your Majesty." The Chancellor replied in the affirmative, "It is estimated that he will arrive in Vienna in four days." ”

"Four days ......," the emperor sighed.

Four days could not have allowed Empress Elisabeth to return to Vienna from the Hungarian estate of Gödöller Castle.

Some people say that the queen is the most beautiful woman in European history, but compared to Helen who overwhelmed the country during the Trojan War, she has long chestnut hair like a waterfall, jewel-like blue eyes, a slender figure, an angelic smile and melancholy, in the hearts of Europeans, noble and elegant, like a fairy by the lake.

King Wilhelm of Prussia once praised the empress in this way, "She sat down like a beautiful swan", and in her, all the fantasies of a man were gathered, and what moved people's hearts was especially her innocence and kindness.

She was born in picturesque Bavaria and was Maximilian? The second daughter of Duke Joseph, her mother was Ludovica of the House of Wittersbach, and Sisi was the affectionate name given to her. She grew up on the shores of the picturesque Lake Starnberg, where she spent a happy childhood without restraint. Her father was a generous and gentle optimist, taking his daughter to climb mountains, ride horses, and hunt, so that this aristocratic princess lived like a wild girl, and she liked her father's way of life, writing poems, traveling, playing the piano, and watching clown performances, and this pleasant and happy memory still affects the footprints of her life to this day.

It has been said that a woman is always looking for a man like her father, but her destined husband is very different from her father.

He was her cousin, Franz, the young heir to the oldest Habsburg family in Europe? Joseph

The young emperor did not have a wife of his own, and his mother, Sophie, came up with the idea of his own sister's family, and Sophie's sister was Princess Sissi's mother, Ludovica of the House of Wittesbach. At that time, Sophie was not interested in Sissi, but Sissi's sister - Princess Elena, Elena was dignified and quiet, fully in line with the requirements of a court lady, but there is always one thing in the world that is often unpredictable - that is, love at first sight, 15-year-old Sissi recklessly broke into the living room, like a bright sun illuminating everyone's eyes, Franz stared at his beautiful cousin, the soul flew away, Sissi was the woman of his dreams. Later, Princess Elena dressed up and walked into the living room, and Franz could no longer see her, only Sissi.

Sophie's sister is married to the King of Prussia, and her sister is the Queen of Saxony, Sophie knows very well what kind of woman is suitable for her son, but Franz is intoxicated with love and can't extricate himself, and must marry Sissi, who is seven years younger than him. She once asked Sissi, "Do you love Franz?" Fifteen-year-old Sissi replied, "Of course, how could I not love him?" If only he hadn't been the emperor. "On April 24, 9054, 16-year-old Sissi and her cousin, Emperor Franz of Austria? Joseph I married. Many years later, the emperor found out that Sissi had written in his diary, "A 15-year-old child was thus sold, and she regretted it for the next thirty years."

Sissi became Empress of Austria, and she was supposed to assume the responsibilities of an empress, but she had never been trained as meticulously as an aristocratic husband and was too young when she entered the palace, and red tape and busy state affairs soon made her lose her usual smile. Queen Sophie, her mother-in-law and aunt, saw her as "nothing but beauty." ”

The queen gave birth to three girls and one boy, and one daughter died at an early age. When she entered the palace, she was not yet mature, and her height was only 1.60 meters, and when she was over twenty, she grew to 1.72 meters, which was comparable to the emperor's height. The Queen Mother Sufi was not worried that her children would be raised by herself, and her children were raised by appointed tutors in accordance with royal custom. She was unable to see her young children for a long time, became depressed, and suffered from an incurable chronic disease, tuberculosis (a type of lung disease), and since then she has often gone to places with hot springs to recuperate. The Queen Mother Sufi was strict and rigid, and often counted her down in front of her son, which hurt her a lot, and even after the death of the Queen Mother Sufi in 9072, she always struggled to get out of the shadow of her mother-in-law.

When the Queen Mother Sufi fell in love with Napoleon and Princess Maria of Austria? Louise's son, Maximilian (i.e., Franz?), who is said to have been executed in Mexico. Emperor Joseph's younger brother) was the son of Napoleon the Younger. The Empress actually had a similar experience to her mother-in-law, and she always had a spiritual lover, the Count Andráş of Hungary, who was a "rather confident but slightly impetuous-looking nobleman." The castle estate in Gödöllö, Hungary, has always been a place for empresses to escape from the troubles of the world. Count Andrásy was sentenced to death in absentia for his rebellion against Austrian rule, so he was nicknamed the "handsome hangman", and he was so charismatic that he won the favor of the ladies of high society, and the queen naturally fell in love with him, and loved the house and Udi and was concerned about the fate of Hungary. Under the mediation of the Empress, Austria agreed to Hungarian autonomy, and Hungary accepted Franz? Joseph was the king of Hungary, the Austro-Hungarian Empire was founded, and Andrásy himself put the crown on the heads of the emperor and empress, and until now, many Hungarians have only been willing to admit that the empress was their queen.

Andráhi accompanied the queen on horseback, hunting, reading, and relieved her sorrows, and their feelings were affectionate and polite, and they buried their feelings deep in each other's hearts. Rumors spread to Austria, and the then living Queen Sufi provoked her son like this, "Andráhi and Sissi are like lovers, disregarding the face of the royal family, and you, as her husband, are too indulgent to her", Franz? Joseph tolerated Sissi and acquiesced in the Empress's extramarital affair, as he had always had a deep affection for her like the sea.
