Solovyov in Tsarist Russia 1796.

It was indeed unexpected that Solovyov, who was drunk, was much better at drinking than others.

As for enjoying the maid's lap, he actually tried his best to avoid it.

But Mihlima was always a little reserved, and her status was here.

Solovyov has always walked into his own trap, and all his past experiences were like that.

When he woke up, he was still a little dazed.

After all, Mihrima came from the Ottoman Empire, and if conditions permit, she would take a bath every day.

Moreover, Solovyov and Katya doted on her very much, so they could use incense and high-quality spices, so it was inevitable that there would be some fragrance.

Even to say the hellish joke a little, it is marinated in flavor.

The girl is still a little blushing now and is just calling softly.

"Master, what are you going to do?"

"Me? It looks like I'm drunk, otherwise I wouldn't have fallen into your arms."

"But what do you want?"

"Water, nothing else. No alcohol for a few days, but that beer tastes pretty good."

When Solovyov returned to Dublin from Swartz, he quickly signed the check, but the formalities still took some time.

But it's faster than France, where bureaucracy is outrageous.

What to do next?
In short, Solovyov wanted to go back.

But before leaving, he met the Duke of Clarence again. His custody case was in Dublin, so he still had some time.

"Your Highness, you are still here. But I have to go back to London. Maybe the Emperor will call me back, or maybe I have to go to Karlsruhe to reunite with my family."

"It's all good either way, but you see, things are not over yet. Of course, I'm not going to London now, so my brother will have one less thing to worry about. But poor Charlotte will probably be confined to her house for the time being and can't go out."

"In the summer, it's still a bit hot in the UK! The weather here is so hot."

"As time goes by, you will realize that there is always some strange weather on this island, but it is warmer than your hometown. But I think the Prince of Orange is probably not suitable for Charlotte either."

Solovyov has made plans here, but the Tsar has not announced it yet, and things in the Netherlands are still being debated.

Solovyov quickly boarded a ship back to the British mainland. This was his first time in Ireland. Although he did not travel far, he realized that the situation here was indeed very bad.

When he arrived in London, he lived in the embassy, ​​but his mission was not over yet. At least he had to get the Regent to cancel his engagement with the Prince of Orange, or be recalled to Vienna by the Tsar.

In addition, there is a letter from Madame Recamier, asking about her recent health condition.
There always comes a baby boom after a war, not just the warriors who return home to reunite with their wives, but also people like Solovyov, which is not surprising.

He is on a mission now, otherwise he would have gone to Karlsruhe long ago.

Fortunately, this is not a magical world and there are no howling letters.

The lady also mentioned in the letter that the bankers in Paris were now worried and came to her salon to complain, saying that the French economy was facing great difficulties.

In fact, Solovyov had thought of a trick to set a big trap for the British, which was to issue "Bourbon Bonds" in the second half of 1814 to attract funds in the London market.

When the man-eating monster from Corsica lands in the port of Juan, there will be a good show to watch. At that time, a large number of bonds will be sold first, and when no one is willing to take over, all the bonds will be stuck in their hands. The part that has already been financed will be accepted by Napoleon. No matter what happens to this debt in the future, it will be a big problem.

But this move may cause a chain reaction.

Although the European-wide economic crisis would not gradually emerge until ten years later, because Europe had been fighting for more than twenty years, it was obvious that a large number of contradictions had accumulated. Even Britain itself was heavily in debt, not to mention Russia and Austria, which had ridiculously high deficits, and Prussia, which was simply smashed and seriously damaged.

France itself is not much better off. Recently, the Allied forces withdrew from various parts of France. When the Bourbon dynasty paid the bill for the army's withdrawal, it was Mr. Lafayette, who controlled the Bank of France, who provided financing for the retreating soldiers.

It's not that there were no interesting things. Solovyov's "borrowing a knife to kill" was successful. With the poor military discipline of the Prussian army under Blücher, he successfully turned the Vendée people into the Bourbon Vendée people. Even if Louis XVIII was very smart and gave a lot of compensation to the Vendée folks, he couldn't reverse the speed of their transformation into troublemakers.

Next, he would take advantage of the situation to fish in troubled waters, but the outcome was not something he could control.

After seeing all this, what should he do in the remaining time?

Princess Charlotte was under house arrest and outsiders were not allowed to meet her, so it was difficult for Leopold to get a chance to go in.

The Regent himself was helpless about the behavior of his younger brothers and sisters. Apart from the third brother who went to Dublin to fight a custody lawsuit, the second brother, the Duke of York, was only aware of it but did not participate. With the Duke of Cumberland who reported it, he is now also having a headache.

His sisters also hoped that their niece would not be controlled, but as a father, his wish seemed to have failed.

Even when Charlotte met him last time, she said she would never marry the Prince of Orange even if she died.

Although this was a conversation between father and daughter and had not been spread out, the regent was now facing big trouble.

"Regent, since Her Royal Highness Princess thinks so, we can only delay. Either she will give in, or the Netherlands will have another engagement, like what happened in Sweden in the past."

"Perhaps so, Mr. Canning."

"Your Highness, there is one more thing to note. The princess is interested in Leopold of Saxe-Coburg-Gotha. His sister recently divorced Grand Duke Constantine. Although he seems to have a Russian background, he may not be unsuitable."

"But he was with several Russian diplomats all day, especially Solovyov. I suspected he was behind this."

"But they also worked hard to find the princess. Although this was Princess Amelia's idea, we can't expose it publicly, otherwise it will cause an uproar in London. If we find out something else, I think the Prime Minister will not be able to bear the pressure."

After hearing this, George could only shake his head.

What's the problem?

The Royal Marriage Act stipulated that many marriages between nobles and commoners were invalid. Several of their brothers, except the Duke of York, had wives of unequal commoner or noble status, and these marriages were invalidated.

The only ones who dare to resist are the Duke of Clarence, who has been single since breaking up with his Irish mistress, and the Duke of Sussex, who has not separated from his wife. The seventh Duke of Cambridge is currently single, which is another issue.

If the marriage law and the arranged marriage were to be exposed, George could imagine what would be spread on the streets, given his daughter's popularity. Public opinion is now very sympathetic to Princess Charlotte. Although the Princess of Wales is not too fond of her, she has moved to her brother's residence in Belgium. Because of the princess's experience, she will also be sympathized with.

Add these two things together, and there are a lot of things going on, and something is bound to go wrong.

Therefore, the only thing they could do was block the news and come up with something else to divert attention.

If it were the 21st century, something would happen in the royal family to divert attention from the stupid problems of the cabinet.

Now the royal family needs something else to cover up these problems.

Instead, it is the cabinet that has to step up and announce good news or bad news.

As for Lord Liverpool, he also said that there was no other way, so he turned his attention to Hanover.

Although Hanover was taken back from Napoleon in 1813, there has always been a Davout in Hamburg next to it.

The English monarch would not return to Hanover to rule now, and if Amelia unfortunately died early, she would probably have to make up a lie that she was married in Hanover.

However, considering George III's current state of madness, there is no need for too much interference.

But Hanover needed to build momentum, so Lord Liverpool began to incite Tory-leaning newspapers to advocate the restoration of order in Hanover, and that the French troops lay down their arms and return to France in disgrace, and would never again endanger the European order. Moreover, a meeting would be held in Vienna to finally decide the issue of the post-war European demarcation.

At least in this way, the problems with the royal family can be temporarily solved.

Solovyov was speechless when he saw these newspapers.

After all, it's not surprising that the British use this tactic.

It wouldn't be too surprising if a prime minister said something about London's beer barrels when he took office one day.

However, Solovyov did not expect that Lord Liverpool's cabinet would control British politics for a long time after the assassination of Viscount Percival because the prime minister himself was relatively young and the Tory Party was currently in a dominant position.

This Viscount is really unlucky. He is the only Prime Minister in British history who was rid of the bug from behind. He always gives people the feeling that he is quite cunning.
Island nations always have something in common.

Another issue is how to send Charlotte to see Leopold. If it doesn't work now, we can probably ask the embassy for help later, or wait for other nobles who are visiting relatives in the UK to come and help pass on the message.

Constantine might come, but he might also go to Poland on business.

During his time in London, he didn't have much to do except visit the British Museum and the Parthenon reliefs stolen by old Lord Elgin.

Speaking of which, today's British officials still have some shame to openly purchase these cultural relics. They could be spoils of war from the French or archaeological discoveries. But when it comes to stealing things from others, even gentlemen can sometimes feel uncomfortable.

If in the future, the Great Golden Palace is not ripped off for you, it will not reflect the great shortcomings and virtues of the British Empire.

Only because the monarch is German, he is so immoral, which is indeed a bit black humor.

As for Princess Charlotte's matter, there is no clue now because Princess Amelia has gone to accompany her niece.

There are also many things to do.

There are actually quite a few places where mines can be laid in the UK.

But he didn't understand the Luddite movement, so he didn't participate in it.

After all, in the era of the Industrial Revolution, technology is always advancing.

As for investigating the living conditions of the workers, he could already feel how bad it was in Britain without even going there.

It already looked a bit bad before the Victorian era, so who knows what it will be like in the future.

Of course, Solovyov also didn’t know whether the men and women in Russia were bald or not.

In Britain, there is probably no pattern, but every one or two kings will do something outrageous, or he himself is rather immoral, and the longer he rules, the more likely it is that this will be the case.

The old lady who came later was okay, but there were always all kinds of troubles in her family. The old lady was in power for seventy years, and she didn't even die in peace. There were a lot of troubles in her family.

It may also be the British royal family, which has been brought on since George III, the "harmonious family". If you ask the question, it may be traced back to Henry VIII or even the War of the Roses.
After thinking so much, Solovyov also had a bigger question.

Is it that London has bad feng shui?
Other people's homes might also be in turmoil, but it would never be so bloody. The paparazzi's news would be all over the tabloids.

It’s no wonder that journalists from some places run so fast, it may have something to do with the situation here in the UK.

But after a while, Solovyov no longer had to worry.

Whenever there is a meeting in Vienna, he has to rush there without stopping.

It’s just that the Tsar has been busy lately visiting his mother-in-law’s house, his uncle’s house, and his sisters.

His new mission was to go to Belgium to visit the Black Duke stationed there and see what his demands were now.

After all, the secret agreement between Britain and Russia finally took into account the situation in Belgium and decided to separate it out, and they were also prepared to reach a consensus at the Vienna conference.

Therefore, after the Black Duke's troops withdrew from France, he brought his Brunswick army to Belgium and stationed there.

Solovyov wished he could stay away from there. He remembered clearly that the duke died in the Battle of Quattrobrachia.

But now that things have become like this, it’s hard to say how the war will turn out.

Even in what form Napoleon will return is a debatable question.

So Solovyov packed his luggage and, with only a few followers, crossed the sea from Dover to Antwerp, disembarked there and then went to Brussels.

The Black Duke was there, along with some British and Dutch garrisons.

At the same time, we have to visit the Prince of Orange. If he is a traitor and very serious, the plan to marry Anna to him will be in trouble. (End of this chapter)
