Make France Great Again

Chapter 802 Arriving in Vienna

The young Ludwig looked helplessly at the two shameless monarchs complimenting each other. After a while, Jerome Bonaparte talked to Maximilian on the grounds that he would not disturb Ludwig's studies. Leon II left Ludwig's room together.

Jérôme Bonaparte, who was walking slowly in the corridor of the palace, unknowingly thought of his adopted brother and sister-in-law, who had never met him. He hurriedly asked Maximilian II: "Maximilian, I Where are my adopted brothers Prince Eugène and Princess Auguste buried!"

Maximilian II was stunned at first, and then told Jerome Bonaparte that he had placed the tombs of Prince Eugene and Princess Auguste near Leuchtenburg Palace. If Bonaparte is willing, he can accompany Jérôme Bonaparte to pay his respects.

"Let's forget it!" Jerome Bonaparte shook his head and said with a wry smile: "Our Bonaparte family owes Eugene so much! I don't want to disturb their souls at this time!"

"Jerome, you are wrong!" Maximilian II shook his head and replied to Jerome Bonaparte: "When Prince Eugène was alive, he never felt that you owed them! My aunt The same was true for Princess Auguste, who even before her death thanked the Bonaparte family for giving her an excellent husband!"

Hearing Maximilian II's words, Jerome Bonaparte's expression was slightly sad. He did not expect that Prince Eugene and Princess Auguste did not hate the Bonaparte family.

"In that case, please lead the way!" Jerome Bonaparte responded to Maximilian II with a serious face.

Jérôme Bonaparte and Maximilian II rode horses, escorted by a convoy, and galloped towards the outskirts of the city.

About half an hour later, Jerome Bonaparte and Maximilian II arrived at the area around Leuchtenburg Palace.

Under the guidance of Maximilian II, Jerome Bonaparte discovered two small earthen bags in the dense forest about one kilometer away from Leuchtenburg Palace.

The former governor of Italy, the quasi-heir of the First Empire and the former eldest princess of the Kingdom of Bavaria are buried here. It is really "unworthy of the position".

"Who chose this place?" Jérôme Bonaparte looked at the little bumpkin expressionlessly and asked word for word.

"This is the place where Prince Eugène asked to be buried before he died! Four years ago, my aunt Auguste also asked me to bury her with Prince Eugène before she died!" Maximilian II told Hot Rome Bonaparte explained: "If Prince Eugène had not requested it, we would never have buried him in this place!"

"I know! Thank you very much!" Jérôme Bonaparte responded to Maximilian II in a calm tone, and then slowly walked to the two little earthbags. He didn't say anything, just looked at the little ones. The bumpkin bowed, then turned and left.

The two rode horses again and returned to the Munich Palace.

When the two arrived at the Munich Palace, it was already around 6:30 pm.

There was less than half an hour left before the dinner started. The two of them entered the banquet hall to prepare before the banquet started.

Time passed quickly, and soon it was seven o'clock in the afternoon.

Jerome Bonaparte and Maximilian II first had a dinner with the nobles present. After the dinner was over, the dance officially began.

The two majesties and their wives became the leaders of the entire dance, and everyone danced to the elegant melody.

After the banquet ended at about 11 o'clock in the evening, Jerome Bonaparte and Augusta moved into a bedroom in the palace under the leadership of the palace servants.

The exhausted Jérôme Bonaparte yawned and lay on the soft bed, and soon fell asleep.

Queen Augusta, who was sleeping next to Jerome Bonaparte, looked at Jerome Bonaparte who was already sleeping, with a smile on her lips.

Then he blew out the candles on the bedside candlestick and fell asleep in darkness.

Early the next morning, under the escort of Maximilian II, Jerome Bonaparte boarded the train to the border area between the Kingdom of Bavaria and Austria. They would take this train to the border area between Bavaria and Austria. Then change to a train to Austria and arrive in Vienna.

Before boarding the train, Jerome Bonaparte told Maximilian II that if he had time, he must go to Paris and he would prepare a grand welcome gesture for Maximilian II.

Maximilian II said that he would definitely visit Jerome Bonaparte.

"Don't forget to take Ludwig with you when the time comes!" Jerome Bonaparte "entrusted" him again.

"I will never forget it!" Maximilian II replied.

After the train boarded Jérôme Bonaparte, it drove slowly southward, then faster and faster until it disappeared from sight.

Jérôme Bonaparte, who was sitting in an independent carriage, looked at the scenery outside the window and asked Mokar: "Mokar, when will this train arrive at the border?"

"Your Majesty, it will take about 2 to 3 hours!" Mokar replied immediately.

"How long does it take to get from the Austrian border to Vienna?" Jerome Bonaparte asked again.

"It also takes 2 to 3 hours!" Mokar responded again.

"So, the distance from Munich to Vienna is almost 60 miles (240 kilometers)!" Jerome Bonaparte scratched his head and said to Mokar.

"Your Majesty, actually the distance from Munich to Vienna is only about 33 miles! (134 kilometers)" Mokar quickly explained, "It's just that there is no direct train between Munich and Vienna, so this situation occurs!"

"Hey!" Jerome Bonaparte shrugged his shoulders and sighed with emotion: "Unexpectedly, the Austrian Empire still has not forgiven Bavaria for what it did back then! (Referring to the Napoleonic period, Bavaria relied on France to attack the Austrian Empire. A degree of suppression, and as a result, Bavaria was forced to spit out some of its vested interests because of Napoleon's defeat.)"

"Your Majesty, although Bavaria and Austria are related by marriage, they are still competitive within Germany!" Mokar explained to Jerome Bonaparte.

"I know this!"

After a long journey of nearly three hours, Jerome Bonaparte and Augusta finally arrived at the nearest railway station in Bavaria to Austria.

Before they even got out of the train, they were invited by the local supreme leader to take a carriage. After receiving orders from Maximilian II, he would personally escort Jerome Bonaparte to the Bao border.

As a result, Jerome Bonaparte and Queen Augusta wasted nearly an hour in the carriage before arriving at the border area between Bavaria and the Austrian Empire.

This time they did not change to a carriage again, but sat directly on the carriage and entered the Austrian Empire. Under the joint escort of the Austrian Empire and the Bavarian army, they arrived at the Austrian railway station closest to the border.

After getting off the carriage, Jerome Bonaparte simply stretched and breathed the fresh air, and then got on the train to Vienna without stopping.

Three hours later, the train slowly pulled into the Vienna train station.

It was already around 4 o'clock in the afternoon, and the sky in Vienna was still bright and sunny.

Jérôme Bonaparte stepped off the train and was immediately welcomed by the Austrian Emperor Franz Joseph and Empress Eliza.

"Welcome to Vienna! My brother!" Franz Joseph smiled and hugged Jerome Bonaparte.

"My brother! This journey has really made me feel physically and mentally exhausted!" Jerome Bonaparte whispered in Franz Joseph's ear.

Franz Joseph looked a little embarrassed. He understood that Jerome Bonaparte was complaining about the lack of direct trains between Munich and Vienna. At the moment, he could only respond in a nonchalant way: "Wait until you arrive at the Hofburg Palace, just take a rest! I believe the scenery of the Hofburg Palace will definitely cure your fatigue!"

"Then I'll wait and see!" Jerome Bonaparte let go of Franz Joseph.

In this way, Jerome Bonaparte and his wife and Franz Joseph and his wife took a carriage to the Hofburg Palace together.

On the way to the Hofburg Palace, Jérôme Bonaparte keenly noticed that Queen Elisabeth...that is, Princess Sissi, had a slightly unhappy look on her face, which was completely different from the Princess Sissi he had seen before. Like the same person!

Did the battle between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law begin so soon? Jérôme Bonaparte couldn't help but secretly speculate.

Seeing that the atmosphere in the entire carriage gradually became dull, Jérôme Bonaparte began to take the initiative to lead the conversation.

He first asked Franz Joseph about the current situation of the Austrian Empire.

Franz Joseph immediately replied that the Austrian Empire was flourishing after receiving the help of France and Prince Metternich's plan.

In this way, Jerome Bonaparte chatted with Franz Joseph and soon arrived near the Hofburg Palace.

The two monarchs who came down from the gate of the Hofburg Palace entered the Hofburg Palace via steps lined with guards on both sides.

When Jerome Bonaparte and Franz Joseph entered the Hofburg Palace side by side, the band that had been waiting for a long time played the "Emperor's Ode", which symbolizes the national anthem of the Austrian Empire, at the signal of the palace steward.

At the same time, the celebrities and loyal ministers lined up in two rows in the hall focused their attention on the two monarchs at the gate.
