On the outskirts of Vienna, in the calm and beautiful Schönbrunn Palace, in the labyrinth of Schönbrunn Palace made of tall hedges, a young man in the gray-and-white uniform of the Austrian Army sits quietly in the corner, holding a copy of the "New Austrian Patriotic Newspaper" that does not sell much, and looking at it hungrily.

Published at the behest of Austrian Prime Minister Metternich, the newspaper sold well during the Napoleonic Wars era and in the years that followed. But with the defeat of Napoleon and the beginning of the lifeless lie of the Austrian Empire...... sales of the newspaper became more and more sluggish.

A flat, chaotic, hopeless Austrian Empire, known as the "prison of the nation", is really hard to love!

The Hungarians, Bohemians, Croats, and Italians in this empire all wanted to secede from the empire and form their own nation-states. And the Germans, who are the main nation...... Most of them also wanted to leave, and then form a German empire with a German majority with their northern counterparts.

Only the Habsburg royal family and some of the nobles loyal to the crown still wanted to maintain this nondescript Austrian Empire - a country that was not even the Holy Roman Empire, but an Austrian Empire (and not Austria-Hungary) that had been crushed by Napoleon.

And this young man who is reading "New Austrian Patriot" actually does not love Austria either, although he has Austrian nationality, has Habsburg royal status, and is also the duke of Austria, but he is an out-and-out fine law - spiritual Frenchman! His spiritual homeland was France, and the country he loved was always the French Empire!

Although Austria gave him fine food and clothing, gave him the best aristocratic education, and trained him to be a qualified soldier, he was not at all grateful to Austria because he was a prisoner of the Austrian Empire.

The name of this spiritual Frenchman is François. Joseph. Shire. Bonaparte, the only legitimate son of Emperor Napoleon, the French eagle in the minds of the Bonapartists of all Europe! Maybe one day, he will soar into the sky and bring a rising France and a thriving European continent to the world!

But now, he's just a caged eagle in a cage and under close surveillance.

However, even if he was locked in a cage, even if he was forbidden to lead troops by Austrian Prime Minister Metternich, he could only be a "lonely officer", and even in his daily life, he had little access to information about his father, Emperor Napoleon.

But as he grew older, Napoleon II still felt how rich the political legacy of his father Emperor Napoleon was from the wariness or admiration and admiration of the people around him!

If the political legacy of Emperor Napoleon was not so frightening, why did Emperor Franz I of Austria and Prince Metternich, Prime Minister of Austria, be so wary of him, a young man under the age of 20?

In addition, he is such a young man who has been a prisoner since he was a child and seems destined to be guarded for the rest of his life. If he didn't have unparalleled political resources, how could he have had his aunt at the age of 13, Karl who had just married the Habsburgs. The "special" care of Princess Sophie of Bavaria (that is, Princess Sissi's mother-in-law) of Archduke Franz?

Napoleon II, who had tasted the warmth and coldness of the world since he was a child, already knew the power he possessed. But what he doesn't know is how he should use the powerful political resources left to him by his father to create an era of his own?

As if no one could teach him? Even his dear aunt, Princess Sophie, didn't know what to do? All she could tell Napoleon II was patience and waiting for the right moment.

But when will the time come for Napoleon II?

Napoleon II could only look for clues through the news in the newspaper Patriot, which no one loved to read.

However, there is not much news about France in the newspaper Patriot...... A while ago, the newspapers were full of news about the defeat of the Ming Navy in the Persian Gulf, which blew the Indian Navy and belittled the Ming Navy very lowly.

But Napoleon II just didn't understand how he could still occupy such a large territory after losing the war? And why did the victorious Indian Grand Fleet watch the Ming fleet grab territory and be indifferent?

And by this time, the story of the "defeat of the Persian Gulf" had been turned and replaced by news about the "Vienna Peace Conference" and the independence of Greece - it seemed that the Rakshasas would accept nothing but Greek independence......

Nicholas I paid so much, so forget it?

Napoleon II knew it was impossible even if he thought about it!

The news that attracted the attention of Napoleon II in today's "Patriotic Daily" was the news that Daikin naval airborne troops attacked the royal palace in Tehran, forcing the Shah of Persia to sign the "Persia-Daikin Joint Treaty" and become a vassal of the Daikin Emperor......

The emperor named Daoguang and the general named Wu Fax did a really good job!

The soldiers pressed the border, the surprise attack of the heavenly army, coupled with the dispatch of the inducement to surrender, and also picked a very favorable time. In the end, it achieved the effect of surrendering without a fight as mentioned in the "Art of War......

Napoleon II, sitting under a hedge reading the newspaper, closed his eyes and imagined that one day he too would lead the French Empire to one wonderful victory!

"Charles, Charles, are you here?"

Napoleon II's dearest aunt, Princess Sophie, suddenly heard the voice that interrupted his thoughts.

"Sophie, I'm here." Napoleon II quickly stood up and shouted loudly.

"Charles, someone is looking for you...... The Emperor told you to hurry to the audience hall. A beautiful woman in her twenties smiled and beckoned to Napoleon II.

"Looking for me?" Napoleon II asked, "Who is looking for me?" ”

He was so old that very few people really came to the Austrian court to look for him.

Princess Sophie said: "It was British Foreign Secretary Robert . Peel and Viscount Palmerston, Lord of the Admiralty. ”

"British?" Napoleon II was stunned, "What are they looking for me for?" ”

"Something very important!" Princess Sophie said excitedly, "It seems that His Majesty's coffin is coming back." ”

"Your Majesty the Emperor? Which one? Napoleon II asked.

"Emperor Napoleon, the coffin of your father Napoleon I will soon be returned to French soil."

"What?" Napoleon II couldn't believe his ears, "The British agreed?" ”

He had indeed requested that the coffin of his father, Napoleon I, be brought back to France. But it was a routine request, and the British were not expected to accede to it.

"They agreed," Sophie nodded, looking at Napoleon II, who had already run to her, and whispered, "Charles, if the English agree that you will return to France to attend the funeral of His Majesty the Emperor...... You can't say yes! ”

"Can't say yes?" Napoleon II frowned, "Sophie, what do you mean ......"

Princess Sophie nodded, "Prince Metternich will use this as an excuse to find a way to eradicate your ...... They won't really let you go back to France. If you ask such a question, you must be tempting. ”

"So what should I say?" Napoleon II also felt that what his aunt said was very correct.

"Charles, have you read that book "Tales of the Three Kingdoms"? What did Liu Chan, the queen in it, say? It was when Sima Zhao asked him if he wanted to go back to Shu. ”

"It's fun here, don't think about it." Napoleon II said, "Then I will tell them that there is joy here, not thinking about the law." ”

Napoleon II had also watched "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", which was really not easy to deceive.

"Yes, yes, that's what you say to them." Princess Sophie nodded, "Let's go, let's go to the audience hall to meet His Majesty the Emperor, don't let the distinguished guests be impatient." ”
