Crucially, it will also push the people against the royal family, and the most clever thing in the history of the Habsburgs is to create a good image in the hearts of the people.

So even though the Austrian Empire has long since disappeared, there are still many people who miss the rule of the Habsburgs.

At this point, Metternich's order to expel the assembly was completely unconspiracy, and no one would fear him, but would make himself the target of public criticism.

However, it was natural for Metternich to make this decision, after all, he had been a powerful minister for decades, how could he be afraid of some ordinary people and nationalists who were manipulated by him in every way?

In Metternich's own words:

"I have fought against the greatest soldiers; We have brought emperors, kings, tsars and sultans, monarchies and republics to compromise; Twenty times I have been involved in and unraveled the chaos of the palace rebellion. ”

In fact, this was the practice of the courtiers, and in this particular country Metternich was more like an emperor than Ferdinand I.

But what Metternich didn't know was that this time he was not dealing with the university students who would cry as soon as they were arrested and the charcoal-burners who would denounce each other, but a group of beings who would make all of Europe tremble.

The karmic results accumulated over the years always need a backstabber, and Prince Metternich is undoubtedly the most suitable person.

It's just that Franz still hopes that the old prime minister can have a more decent ending, and it's still a bit too embarrassing for women to flee.

February 17, 1848.

The new venue for the banquet was announced by the Paris newspaper "National Daily" - the Élysée Palace.

The Élysée Palace was built in 1718 and was the site of Napoleon I's defeat at Waterloo in 1815.

Located at the east end of the Champs-Élysées in Paris, the Elysee Palace covers an area of 11,000 square meters and is located in the lively city center, with a large garden of more than 20,000 square meters behind it, which can just meet the needs of banquet activities.

But soon there was a rift within the reformers, and Odilon Barrow directly chose to betray him, doubling the threshold for attending banquets and recovering most of the free tickets.

Of course, some people say that he is taking the opportunity to make a profit, but in any case, Odilon Barrow's behavior is to limit the number of people who can attend the banquet.

The venue and time of the banquet were changed from the Élysée Palace in the center of the city to the remote western suburbs of Paris, the time was changed from Sunday to Tuesday, and the original 20th was changed to 22nd.

Odilon Barrow promised the government everything possible not to disrupt order, and agreed that the gendarmes would intervene in the banquet and that force could be used if necessary.

Louis Philippe was very pleased with the result, he felt that everything was under his control, and that if he got through it, he would be able to achieve his ambitions, after all, the axis was about to be formed.

However, if nothing else, it was Odilon Barrow, the leader of the reformers, who received a series of bad news from the German region.

This frightened him more than the failure of the reforms.

Eventually, Odilon Barrow decided to withdraw from the party, but once Pandora's box was opened, he couldn't help it.

As Marast said, "Are you afraid of civil war? If you participate, you have a chance to stop the civil war, and if you refuse, you will cause a civil war.

The more you run away, the heavier the sin that falls on you. ”

In fact, at this time, there were also divisions within the republicans, some felt that they should launch an armed uprising while the iron was hot, and some felt that they should temporarily avoid the edge and wait for the opportunity.

However, at this time, the republicans were only in the minority, and the mainstream of the reformists was still the Orleanists and Orthodox.

When Louis Philippe learned that Odilon Barrow had decided to withdraw from the banquet, he finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"It's stable this time."

On February 22, 1848, it was cloudy and sunny, so it was forbidden to travel and kill people.

The gloomy morning sky and the drizzle of the rain still did not dampen people's curiosity, and a large number of idle people, women, and children followed the crowd of people to the banquet as they walked through the streets.

At first, everything was as Odilon Barrow promised, and it was so boring that it made people snooze.

However, at 11 p.m., the sky suddenly cleared, and someone climbed the marble statue in front of the Panthéon.

"Citizens! Our cabinet has been selling out our French honor and interests, they have sold us to the British! Austrian! Prussians! Spaniard!

The Turkish-Egyptian war ceded all our rights in Egypt! We endured! In the Luxembourg crisis, the Austrians treacherously launched a shameless sneak attack on us! We endured!

The Alsace-Lorraine crisis, the Prussians, together with the Austrians, trampled our land, slaughtered our people, and forced our compatriots to learn their disgusting language and evil religion! We endured it again!

Now the ridiculous King of Yali wants to use our French money and French lives to please his bitch mistress, the regent of Spain, Christiana!

Can we bear it?! ”

The audience shouted in unison, "Can't!" ”

"Excellent! Citizens! Marseillaise! ”

Forward, sons and daughters of the motherland, rise up quickly,

A glorious day awaits you!

The 700 university students then marched from the Panthéon to the Seine to the Place de la Concorde, through the bridge of the 7th arrondissement, to the Palais Bourbon, the seat of the Chamber of Deputies.

As the only official war song in France, the "La Marseillaise" has an extraordinary place in the hearts of the French, and the ranks continue to grow on the road, and the people gather like streams flowing into the sea.

The guards on the bridge tried to stop the procession, but the people singing the "La Marseillaise" ignored them, and the people passed the bridge without any problems.

The National Guard, which guarded the Chamber of Deputies in front of the Palais Bourbon, behaved with restraint and tried to dissuade the population from violence.

In fact, they did not want to repeat the mistakes of the French Revolution, and so did the dragoons who were ordered to rush to the door of the Chamber of Deputies to maintain order.

The momentum is surging, and the result is just a violent. The dragoon officer's first order was to "put the sword in its sheath", which was naturally no deterrent.

Seeing this scene, the people couldn't help but shout "Long live France!" ”

Louis Philippe didn't feel too nervous about the impending catastrophe, in fact he even laughed out loud when he heard that there was no bloodshed.

"Sure enough, they're just putting on a show."

In fact, Louis Philippe had this delusion, and he largely blamed General Sebastian, the commander of the Paris garrison.

The arrogant and stupid general, in order to show his ability, did not tell Louis Philippe the truth.

In General Sebastian's view, the people of Paris were nothing more than a rabble, especially since their so-called leaders chose to surrender before the war began, and they were a ridiculously weak bunch.

At the same time, history did not spare Metternich either, and the day after Austria announced the withdrawal of its troops from the Papal States, Pius IX spoke again, in which he demanded that the Austrian Empire withdraw from Italy.
