In the end, the assassination had a result, Ernst needed to leave Vienna, but Burrell did not get any favors, and he was expelled from the army.

But anyone with a discerning eye can see that this time it was Karl and Otto Franz who won the big game, even if this result was not controlled by Otto Franz and Karl.

The difference between Ernst leaving and Burrell being expelled, is literally visible, but the expelled man leaves with a smile, longing to return ten years later, when he may be the Chancellor of the Kingdom of Austria.

Carl was very unhappy with him? Could it be that all the power of the Austro-Hungarian Empire was in the hands of the king, the emperor? The answer is no, once Karl ascends to the throne, then even if he doesn't want Burrell to be prime minister, he can ignore Burrell's contribution to the faction, but other nobles cannot.

The Austro-Hungarian Emperor was only nominally the supreme holder, but in fact most of the power was in the hands of the Parliament, which was composed of nobles or precisely, in the hands of the local nobles.

Because of the assassination, Ernst's teaching was also transferred to a small mansion not far from the palace, which greatly improved security and allowed Ernst to spend more time with Duchess Sophie.

Cosimo was closing some of Ernst's business in Vienna, and a large number of items were being sold at low prices, and according to Masséna's news of the territory, a large number of Moravian supplies were sent there.

Although Ernst was made Count of Moravia, he did not actually have full control over the region, and the territory that really belonged to him was only one percent of the land.

There were many nobles in Moravia, and these nobles would have been considered subordinates of Ernst in the Middle Ages, but now it is the 19th century, and the old ones only exist in history.

Moravia has a local parliament, and thirteen councillors are the real rulers there. Mayor? That's just a manager on the surface.

If nothing else, Ernst, as the Count of Moravia, was supposed to be the speaker of the parliament, but for unknown reasons Franz Joseph, he did not give Ernst this position, but only gave him the very strange position of honorary brigadier general and regimental commander.

Ernst's territory was not very large, but it was a few thousand acres of land and hundreds of local residents, all of whom were in a small town not far from the castle, like the Bonarroti family in Florence.

The land there belongs to Ernst, and what Ernst needs to pay is not a lot of taxes every year, but he also needs to care about and be responsible for the food and living of the local citizens.

Two days ago there was news from Massena that a very serious flood in Moravia was fatal for the local citizens, but for Ernst it was an opportunity, an opportunity to buy hearts and minds.

"Your Royal Highness Prince Ernst, I have taken the liberty of disturbing your life, but now I cannot fail to report to you one thing, because it is about your reputation in Moravia. Two months ago, the water level of the Morava River soared, because the embankment was very stable, and the local government and parliament did not take this matter seriously, but a week ago a river embankment was breached, although the lives of the local citizens were not in danger, but the sowing of the granary made it lack a lot of food, and the nobles had some grain in stock, but they said a high price......"

It was a letter from Massena, the simple purpose of which was to persuade Ernst not to squander such a good opportunity to buy hearts and minds in exchange for a large amount of cheap grain in exchange for his prestige in Moravia.

For such a thing Ernst would refuse? Ernst is not the kind of short-sighted person, and compared with other nobles Ernst has some grassroots thinking, kindness and soft-heartedness are a major flaw in his becoming a hero.

By now Ernst had a fortune of more than 350,000 pounds, and how many people was the population of the whole Moravian region? Ten thousand pounds of food was enough to meet the demand there, so why not Ernst?

The main thing is that he did not need to waste any money, but only to take a part, after all, the food was not given to the citizens of Moravia for free, but at a low price.

This kind of thing is not something that Talo Balbo can do, so Cosimo is busy while working as a personal servant and dealing with things like butlers.

"Are you really going to do that? Although it is good for your local prestige, it also offends the Moravian nobility completely. ”

The Moravian nobles finally came across such an opportunity, and if Ernst transported a large amount of low-cost grain, he would undoubtedly stand on the opposite side of the local aristocracy, and those nobles who were originally prepared to be neutral would also stand up and resist Ernst in an instant.

In the face of Archduke Ferdinand's serious inquiry, Ernst replied with the same serious expression: "I cannot allow my people to starve and live in disease, this is what I should do as a lord there. ”

Archduke Ferdinand did not speak, but looked at Ernst quietly, and only when Ernst could not bear it could bear it did Archduke Ferdinand speak quietly.

"I don't approve of you, but maybe you're right."

Archduke Ferdinand would have taken a more drastic approach to everything, and now he was surprised by some of his soft words, could it be that something had changed in the Slavic region?

Slavia is a magical place, the beginning of the First World War is inextricably linked to it, and even Ernst will not forget it, because Sarajevo is on Slavic soil.

The affairs of the territory and the somewhat abnormal attitude of Archduke Ferdinand made Ernst a little irritable, and at this time, Mesimilian suddenly stood up and accused, accusing Duchess Sophie of being sick because of him, and Ernst couldn't help but fight back against Mesimian.

"If you can stop acting as cowardly as a girl, I believe my mother's illness will be better!"

"What did you say!"

With an incredulous expression on his face, it was hard for him to imagine that such words had just come from his own brother, even though he had only been in contact with him for a few months.

Ernst also felt a little remorseful, but at this time Ernst's irritability had not dissipated, and he mistakenly said again: "I said that you are cowardly like a delicate princess, if I were you, I would never choose to back down in the face of such things as Heinz and his brother, and I would fight if I could fight if I could fight and fight if I couldn't!" Crying and hiding are always things that only cowards do, and you are undoubtedly a coward. ”

"Ernst, you're a coward!"

There was anger in the eyes of Misimian, and because of the noise outside, the Sufi lord couldn't help but come out, and saw that the two brothers had the intention of making a move, and hurriedly ran over.

Ernst's force Sufi lord was very clear, so he naturally stood in front of Mysimian, but her approach undoubtedly made Ernst very sad, misunderstanding that Sufi lord favored Mysimian, and looked at the two of them indifferently, Ernst turned around and left directly.

Lord Sophie was a little stunned by Ernst's indifferent eyes just now, and when she came back to her senses, Ernst had already left, and when she turned around, Mysimilian had disappeared.
