"Me too!" Franz. Joseph replied to Maximilian with a calm face.

Whether it's Franz. Joseph and Jérôme. Whether Bonaparte said this out of sincerity, or in order to give Maximilian a step, Maximilian's heart was very happy.

"Brother, Your Majesty Jérôme, I can assure you that the next time you arrive in Warsaw, Warsaw will be turned upside down!" Maximilian swore to Jérôme. Bonaparte and Franz. Joseph said.

Maximilian already had a plan in his mind to make Warsaw a city not inferior to Vienna.

Although this plan is still a long way off, Maximilian is confident that with the joint efforts of his prime minister, Warsaw will become the city of his dreams.

"I'm looking forward to the transformation of Warsaw!" Jérôme. Bonaparte smiled with a hint of encouragement in his tone.

Maximilian was the king he had personally set up, so Jérôme. Bonaparte had some confidence in him.

Unlike Mexico, the Kingdom of Poland has a strong royal tradition, so the Polish nobility was not too resistant to Maximilian.

Mexico was very different, and the Republic of Mexico, which became independent from Spain, did not have the foundation of a kingdom from the beginning.

Although the slave owners of the Mexican Republic wanted an emperor to act as a spokesman for their interests, they did not expect an emperor as many opponents as the vast majority of opponents.

So it's too slow to build an empire there.

Jérôme. Bonaparte believed that as long as Maximilian was not as strong as some of the hapless Bavarian princes, he would always be able to gain the support of the Polish aristocracy.

"Me too!" Franz. Joseph also gave encouragement to Maximilian's younger brother.

Although the Kingdom of Poland had become independent and Maximilian had become his equal, the eldest brother felt that he still needed to help the nascent Kingdom of Poland.

"I will not fail your trust!

"Maximilian vs. Jérôme. Bonaparte and Franz. Joseph responded.

Immediately afterwards, by the administrator of the Polish royal palace will be Jérôme. Bonaparte and the others were given the rooms where they lived for the rest of the day.

Looking at the room filled with Roman-style pompous décor and a gilded command knife hanging from the wall, Jérôme. Bonaparte concluded that the occupants of this room must have been of the same rank, and he could not help but ask the manager: "Whose residence was this room before?" ”

"Your Majesty, this room was originally the residence of the Polish Governor-General to receive the Tsar!" Managers on Jérôme. Bonaparte replied.

"The Legend of the Fairy Tree"

"Maximilian, you have a heart!" Jérôme. Bonaparte nodded with satisfaction, "You go and tell Maximilian that I am satisfied with the accommodation he has arranged!" ”

"Yes! I will report back to His Majesty Maximilian! "The managers remained humble in their attitude towards Jérôme. Bonaparte responded.

"That's it! Now you can go out and tell Mocal that he can bring me and Augusta's salute in! "Jérôme. Bonaparte gave orders to the administrators.

The manager bowed slightly, and then left Jérôme. Bonaparte's residence.

"Nikolai's old fellow's temporary residence is really luxurious!" Jérôme. Bonaparte couldn't help but sigh with emotion, and praised Chen.

To Jérôme. Empress Augusta, who Bonaparte called Nicholas I an old fellow, turned white to Jérôme with a hint of dissatisfaction. Bonaparte glanced at it and said angrily: "Your Majesty, you can't respect the outdated monarch a little!" ”

"Respect! He is the monarch who is ready to remove your husband and your son from the throne! If the Empire loses the Crimean War, then the empire that we have worked so hard to build will be in ruins! "Jérôme. Bonaparte exaggerated to Augusta, "How can you ask me to maintain respect for an old thing who wants to throw me off the throne at any time, I can't wait to blow him up with my own hands!" ”

Augusta groaned for a moment, and then said: "Although Tsar Nicholas did have such thoughts, but now that he has returned to the arms of the Lord, you should learn to tolerate him!" ”

"You're right!" Jérôme. Bonaparte nodded, he didn't want to get entangled with Empress Augusta on this issue.

Just then there was a knock on the door, and Jérôme. Bonaparte hurriedly shouted to the visitor outside the door: "Please come in!" ”

Mokal entered the room with a large bag and a small bag, and behind him there were several others carrying the same package.

When everyone had entered the room, the manager stood in Jérôme. Bonaparte reported in front of him: "Your Majesty Emperor Jérôme, our Majesty Maximilian wants to invite you out hunting!" I don't know if you're interested! ”

"Let's go!" Jérôme. Bonaparte replied decisively to the manager.

Living in the nineteenth century, when entertainment was extremely expensive, fishing and hunting were the best things to do in Jérôme. Bonaparte's two biggest hobbies

"Please come with me!" Managers will be Jérôme. Bonaparte and Augusta were taken to a living room in the Doge's Palace.

At this time, Maximilian was sitting in the living room, wiping the shotgun in his hand with a towel. Bonaparte's appearance was that he stopped what he was doing and instead invited Jérôme. Bonaparte sat down with Augusta.

Then Maximilian lost to Jérôme. Bonaparte with a shotgun and a towel.

Jérôme sitting on the sofa. Bonaparte gently wiped each part of the shotgun with a towel.

After a while, Franz. Joseph and Queen Elizabeth also appeared.

Maximilian also threw another shotgun to Franz. Joseph, Franz. After a brief look of astonishment, Joseph wiped his shotgun as well.

Half an hour later, three shotguns were killed by Jérôme. Bonaparte wiped all three at the same time.

Once again, the administrator appeared, informing the three monarchs that the carriage to the forest on the outskirts of Warsaw was ready.

Jérôme. The five Bonaparteists set out from the Polish "royal palace" in three carriages and soon arrived in the forest on the outskirts.

The five men who got out of the carriage met Pilsudski and Count Mozelasky again, and a group of people entered the forest in a mighty way.

After the hunt lasted for nearly three hours, the three monarchs and the ministers came out of the forest.

At this time, it was already about 1 p.m., and Mozelaski, who was the prime minister of Poland, said to Jérôme. Bonaparte and the others said, "Your Majesty, we have prepared a sumptuous lunch nearby!"

After your three Majesties' lunches, think about hunting! ”

"Mr. Prime Minister, you have a heart!" Maximilian opened his mouth and praised Morazzeski.

"That's what I'm supposed to do!" Morazzeski modestly responded to Grand Duke Maximilian.

Led by Morazzeski, they went to the place where the lunch was stored.

Everyone sat down in their respective seats and enjoyed lunch, which lasted for nearly an hour, during which the prime minister, the commander of the national army, and others raised their glasses to the friendship between France and Austria and Poland.

Wait until Jérôme. Bonaparte and Franz. When Joseph felt a little drunk, Maximilian began to tell them how difficult it was to be king of the Kingdom of Poland.

Despite the fact that Jérôme. Bonaparte's mind was a little sluggish than usual, but he understood what Maximilian meant.

"Don't worry! The French Empire will not let his brother go! "Jérôme. Bonaparte replied to Maximilian in a coherent manner, "If the Kingdom of Poland wishes, I can lead the way for you to communicate with the bankers in France!"

As for success, it's up to you! ”

"Thank you very much!" Maximilian, who was in dire need of funds for industrialization, heard that Jérôme. After Bonaparte's words, he thanked with a smile.

The well-fed and well-fed crowd went into the forest again to hunt and did not stop until 6 p.m.

……

For the next few days, Maximilian accompanied Jérôme. Bonaparte and Franz. Joseph fished, played cards, and traveled to the Warsaw area.

Soon it was October 12, the day of Maximilian's coronation, when all the subjects of Warsaw appeared in the streets to celebrate Maximilian's coronation as King of the Kingdom of Poland.

At 9 a.m., Maximilian, Jérôme. Bonaparte, Franz. The three Josephs walked out of the Polish Governor's Palace in military uniforms and boarded the carriage to the church in turn.

As they passed by the crowd of people on the streets of Warsaw, a deafening shout rang out from the crowd: "Long live His Majesty Maximilian!" Franz. Long live His Majesty Joseph! Jérôme. Long live Your Majesty Bonaparte! ”

The shouts continued from the Polish Governor's Palace to the coronation church, and the three men who got off the carriage stood at the gate of the church.

"Let's go inside! You're the one who is the one this time! "Jérôme. Bonaparte said to Maximilian.

"Maximilian, go in!" Franz. Joseph also replied to Maximilian.

Maximilian nodded solemnly, and then entered the church.

Jérôme. Bonaparte and Franz. Joseph also entered the church through the side door of the church, led by the priest's virtue.

The coronation lasted almost three hours, culminating in a cardinal from Rome placing a magnificent crown on Maximilian's head.

At this point, Maximilian was officially crowned King of the Kingdom of Poland.
