In June, the Empress Dowager left Berlin, took the train, all the way south, to Vienna, was hosted by the Austro-Hungarian Emperor Franz, Joseph I, he was a warm and fickle handsome emperor, with a wide range of interests, his wife is the famous Princess Sissi, and the current Chinese Empress Dowager has her own name in the West "Empress Dowager Sissi".

The Austro-Crarian Empire is a dualist country, the emperor has the title of Emperor of Hungary and Austria at the same time, and the jurisdiction includes the entire Balkan Peninsula in addition to the part of Ottoman Turkey, as well as Yugoslavia and other places, and even part of the territory of Italy, such a multi-ethnic and very chaotic empire, without centripetal force and cohesion, although the cultural undertakings and social ideas are developing vigorously, but the Queen Mother thought that the Austro-Lunar Empire would cease to exist in a few decades, So I also looked at the 42-year-old heir of the Habsburg family in front of me, the most handsome and beautiful man emperor in Europe, now is the time of the scenery, but in the near future, his beautiful wife will be assassinated by an anarchist, the son and lover who have been raised will commit suicide, and the crown prince who was finally chosen was assassinated in Sarajevo, which has set off a monstrous wave of blood, but he died in endless desolation. The Queen Mother knew this, so she felt that the emperor in front of her was extremely pitiful, so she vaguely mentioned a few words that Kaiser Wilhelm I strengthened the security of himself and the royal family in order to avoid the assassination of the Socialists, and sincerely suggested that Joseph I should also do a good job of security facilities, but Joseph I was a little unimpressed, and the Queen Mother put it down.
Joseph I was very surprised that the Empress Dowager actually knew**, **It was only completed and established in 1969 three years ago, and it was not a very famous stage, so on this day, when "Carmen" was performed, there were only Joseph I and the Empress Dowager Cixi in the luxurious velvet box, and there were two waiters behind him.
The Queen Mother looked down curiously, the nobles in the hall below stood up and applauded, the Queen Mother beckoned, several noble women screamed loudly at the emperor, Joseph I also returned with a flying kiss, the Queen Mother smiled, "Your Majesty the Emperor, it seems that you have a lot of confidants." ”
"Yes, as an emperor, you can't avoid women throwing themselves into your arms." Joseph threw down the silk scarf in his arms, and many women screamed, Joseph I sat down and looked at the Empress Dowager Cixi with a smile, "Your Highness is also beautiful." ”
Like a pervert, the Queen Mother glanced at him with disdain, "Why is your beautiful wife, the famous Princess Sissi, not in Vienna?" ”
"She prefers to stay in Budapest, I don't know how, the Hungarians prefer her, in Vienna she is always out of place, but I've asked her to come here because of you." The Queen Mother was born in liberal arts, and I don't know what was available in the Austro-Hungarian Empire at this time, but I just asked people to talk about it, and pulled those scholars who were smuggled out to identify them, which were available and feasible, so Joseph I was very enthusiastic about the Queen Mother, no one had any surplus food these years, and people with rich money were honored guests everywhere, Joseph I pointed to the box opposite, "That's my son, Rudolph, well, do you see?" Heir to the Empire. ”
Is it the gloomy and deep black-haired young man in front of him, who killed his lover and then committed suicide? The Queen Mother looked at the man opposite with interest, the man looked a little dull, crossed his hands, and looked at the ground silently.
The Queen Mother glanced at it a few times, "With all due respect, Your Majesty the Emperor, your son's face is not good, is he not in a good mood?" ”
"Probably because their mother was not with them," said Joseph I helplessly, "all the children born to Elizabeth were taken away by their mother. ”
"For women, the love of their husbands and the love of their elders, as well as the love of their children, must at least be the same," the Empress Dowager Cixi said, "I personally suggest, ahem, it is better to let them stay with their mothers, His Majesty the Emperor is busy with political affairs, and the care of the children still can't trouble the Empress Dowager." ”
"You have a point," Joseph I stroked his chin with his white-gloved hand, thoughtfully, "Sissi is a very good wife, a perfect queen, the Hungarians don't like me, but they like Sissi very much, Sissi has been very depressed in recent years, I don't know if it's because of my relationship with a lover...... Ahem, I'm sorry, I lost my words. ”
"It's okay."
"However, my dear Highness, I have heard that the Chinese are very good at probing the things of the future," Joseph I became interested, "through the method of invoking the gods, so that the gods can give guidance on future affairs, I heard, what Mr. Long?" And Mr. Ghost? They are all very powerful figures in the history of your country, Your Highness, do you know who would do such a thing? ”
Mr. Long? Wolong? Mr. Ghost? It won't be Guiguzi, the Queen Mother quietly pinched a handful of sweat, "Of course, I will!" (To be continued.) )
