Solovyov in Tsarist Russia 1796.

Solovyov kept stopping and starting along the way, so he couldn't move fast.

In Karlsruhe, I had to see my sister and her family off. When we arrived in Stuttgart, the capital of Württemberg, Crown Prince William and Alexandra would entertain them. When we arrived in Bavaria, the Queen, who was Louisa's second sister, would entertain them again because Solovyov had been a great help to the family.

Fortunately, Mr. Talleyrand was slower than him, not because Mr. Talleyrand's legs were not the same length, but because there were still many things to be done in Paris.

The Tsar and his wife were still hanging around in Vienna, not for a meeting, but to interact with the Austrian Emperor. It couldn't even be called a diplomatic negotiation because there were no substantive opinions.

Solovyov didn't need to be anxious at this time. Instead, he could enjoy the mountains and rivers and have fun with his wife, concubines and children.

When we arrived in Salzburg, we met the envoy sent by the Tsar.

"My Lord, this is a letter from His Majesty."

"Mishka, what did the Emperor say?"

"It's a good idea for us not to rush to Vienna and wait in Salzburg."

Alexander made him walk slowly along the way, but he always caught up with the progress of other things.

Well, he was quite successful in that regard if he wanted to.

"How's that?"

"Katya, stop here. I can keep you company, and you should also take some rest."

"I know, but if I can't move around, you can leave me in Vienna."

"I think we'll be in Vienna for some time, and you should send this girl over here. Anyway, the reaction times of both of you are about the same now."

"When we get to Vienna, I'm not afraid that you'll go and eat somewhere, you wicked fox."

Although Katya wanted to pull his ears, it was also a sign of intimacy between husband and wife.

"Okay, we will live in Vienna. Even if the Emperor assigns me a new position, I will wait until the baby is born before considering the next assignment."

Solovyov knew that if Napoleon became restless during his time as ambassador in Vienna, he would definitely come out of the island.

He was not in a hurry. After all, there were many things to discuss in the meeting, and there were many points of wrangling.

Solovyov had some time to wait until the man-eating Corsican monster landed at Port Juan, and then he would probably have to return to the army.

He actually knew very well what the current situation of the Russian army was, that is, the troops were all returning to Poland, which also served as a deterrent.

He could take care of some personal matters, and the Tsar himself was still in Vienna. If he wanted to get himself a job as governor in the future, he could exercise here.

Although he is not a specialist, he also wants to improve.

And spending time with family is also very important. The sons adapted quickly, and the daughter only ended the state of black heart cotton.

Pavel and Lisa are twins, but they are of different genders, and they are arguing about whether their mother will give birth to a brother or a sister this time.

You can love them well while they are still young and not yet annoying.

While in Salzburg, Solovyov also noticed that many representatives from the German states had also come to Vienna.

But there is not much that can be done here, and their final fate is actually decided by several major powers.

This does not include France. They are just a defeated country and are lucky to be able to keep their territory in 1790.

If there are hundreds of states, they should indeed be streamlined, and the status of some countries should be improved.

Alexander planned to promote all his relatives, but Württemberg was probably an exception because they were now a kingdom, and both Britain and Russia had relations here, and they also had good relations with Prussia and Austria, and they also turned away from France relatively late.

In fact, the main problem lies with Saxony. The unlucky king often has no chance even if he wants to change sides.

It is no wonder that in the declarations between Russia and Prussia, Prussia actually wanted to swallow up the whole of Saxony, but doing so was somewhat greedy.

Solovyov lives in Salzburg, and further ahead is Linz. There are always some places with good air, but you can't get too high, otherwise something bad will happen.

After all, Austrians sometimes make people feel disgusted, but that usually refers to the upper class. The common people are very friendly.

Solovyov had been to Vienna twice before as part of the Russian expeditionary force, but this time it had nothing to do with military matters.

Even his own role will change accordingly.

"Being a diplomat probably requires some knowledge of etiquette. Those Austrians love to play with this the most."

Of course, Solovyov would leave Katya in the embassy and hand her over to the care of his second brother-in-law, Prince Nicholas.

Normally he would attend the event himself, and now that the Tsar is here, Katya is generally not required to attend unless there is a reception at the Russian Embassy.

Mihrima is like this now because it is her first time, and Katya is actually worried about her.

Solovyov actually practiced diplomatic etiquette there. As a military attaché, he rarely needed to do so before. He just had to stand behind his leader.

Now that the Tsar is away, he is needed to do something.

"You could practice more these days, Mishka."

Katya was still eating dried figs at this time, while Mihrima beside her was no longer as reserved as before, and her eyes were a little starry.

Well, should I be jealous of her? She is so beautiful. Katya thought that she would feel relieved if she could arrange a marriage for her husband.

And although the Solovyovs were in charge of household affairs, it was relatively relaxed, and the boundary between master and servant was mainly based on status. Mihlima was no longer bound by this status, and there was nothing wrong with her.

But the words "master" or "master" can never be changed.

After all, she was different from Adela, who was already married, and she didn't bring up her status from the beginning.

She also gave some to Mihrima, and they had a very good relationship, with Mihrima even leaning behind Katya.

In fact, Solovyov was also experiencing "broken wings", and their situation was rare.

But they are all his own, so Solovyov is quite relaxed and doesn't have to worry about any uninvited guests coming in.

"How about this?"

"It's fine, but your posture is a little stiff, not like you're at a dance."

"When I was fighting for the Austrians, my leg was injured, but it has healed over time. I really hope there will be no more wars so we can go home and live a good life. Katya."

"The children are all here, please pay attention."

"Okay, okay." Solovyov still wanted to be intimate with the two of them, even if he just wanted to cuddle with them, but he couldn't show it because the children were here.

Parents are always the best mentors for their children.

Soon, another messenger came in, also bringing a letter from Alexander.

"Your Majesty has another order?"

It has been some time since Alexander asked him to stop here.

It’s not strange to be on the road again, except that we’ll end up in Vienna, where the scenery is very beautiful.

However, when I saw Emperor Franz, I always felt that he looked very funny sitting there in his imperial robe and crown.

After all, an emperor who is not outstanding in any aspect and even cannot give birth to children as well as his younger brothers sits here, which always feels unworthy of the title.

This feeling is even stronger than it was a decade ago.

After submitting the credentials, Emperor Franz did not say much. He just signaled his attendant to bring a plate and said to the new ambassador in a somewhat funny tone: "Count, you have made many contributions in the war against France and have made outstanding contributions in our common cause against Bonaparte. Therefore, I hereby award you the Order of Maria Theresa."

The Empress of Austria, the grandmother of Emperor Franz, was a great beauty in her youth and had a very slim figure. However, after she got married and had children, she ended up looking like a dragoon because she had too many children.

The style of the medal is still the same as when she was an old lady, which is actually not good.

However, this "Old Lady Medal" does represent Solovyov's significant contribution.

But compared to the Iron Cross, it is still far behind, after all, it is not as famous.

"I would like to thank His Majesty the Emperor of Austria for bestowing me this precious medal. I will also make more contributions to the improvement of relations between Russia and Austria in the future. Russia and Austria have always maintained a highly cooperative and friendly neighborly relationship."

These were just polite remarks, but they left Franz stunned.

The Count Shuvalov mentioned above is even more talkative. This Count Solovyov is his relative's neighbor and speaks in an even more eloquent way.

This is enough to prove that Solovyov has never lost some of the basic skills he should have, and he is still improving them.

Even after saying so much in Russian, the translator was still a little confused.

"Count, please speak French. That way we can all understand you, and we know that you have a high level of French literary literacy."

"OK then"

Solovyov had to repeat all this, and even though Emperor Franz changed to the French channel, he still couldn't understand it.

On the other hand, Nicholas on the side was laughing secretly behind his royal brother's back.

The boss is really capable. If he hadn't taught me before, I probably wouldn't have understood it.

Emperor Franz went through the process of the new Russian ambassador presenting his credentials amid a mass of diplomatic jargon.

It's just that Solovyov was speaking French, and Emperor Franz was a little confused. He could understand the word when it was separated, but it was a problem to comprehend it.

But now he could only respond with the palace's signature fake smile to remain polite.

Alexander saw his brother snickering out of the corner of his eye, and he knew there might be something going on.

"What's going on, Nicholas?"

"Brother, do you know where the Earl's words came from?"

"He must have taught you, but it's interesting. At least it shows our attitude."

Nicholas also nodded, and then said: "But this kind of diplomatic rhetoric is indeed difficult to master. Although I know what it means, I am not very proficient in using it."

Alexander glanced at his younger brother. Since he had no son yet, he could only pass the throne to one of his younger brothers. Constantine took the initiative to withdraw. Although Nicholas was not as smart as Mikhail, he was tougher than his younger brother. Solovyov also taught him a lot - although he was a little miscellaneous.

Alexander's worries were not without reason. Louisa was already at the end of her childbearing age, and her health was not very good. Even if she had a child soon, there would still be problems in the future.

Because male tsars always have a short lifespan, and the Luo family is particularly superstitious, Alexander was always worried that something might happen.

After all, all the tsars before Peter the Great could die in bed, and after that only the empress could die peacefully in bed. The only exception was Peter II, who died of smallpox.

Therefore, the country always needs an adult monarch so that it can be more stable.

But Alexander didn't know what would happen in his family in the future. If it were something that other people's families could come up with, their family was particularly humble.

He is also considering it now, so he is also looking at Nicholas's knowledge and the character of his third brother. Although he has not been with his father for a long time, he is particularly like him.

If the knowledge is up to standard, that would be good.

If you are not good at this, you can still take extra lessons.

Apparently, this kid had honestly carried out the study plan that Solovyov had customized for him.

But the effect was not what Alexander had hoped. He always hoped that Nikola could master more skills.

Judging from his daily conversation, he still hasn't mastered enough and there is always room for improvement.

But sometimes, we take things for granted.

But if I have a son, the inheritance law will become a problem.

But Louisa's health is not good now, so he has no hope. Besides, it is also a problem as to which family his seven daughters should marry into.

This time all the German princes have come here, so we can take a look at their situation and maybe find a suitable one.

But that's all he thought of. Nicholas' problem is that sometimes he gets carried away by success.

It just so happened that Solovyov was in Vienna, and he was the ambassador to Austria appointed by himself.

Even though Nicholas is an adult, there is still someone to keep an eye on him.

Of course he didn't care too much. After all, it was a peaceful time and he would be able to meet his mother-in-law after a while.

But considering Charlotte's age, it will take some time for her to get married.

It's not like Russian princesses who can get married when they reach adulthood, but Prussians always have to make some preparations.

After all, if a rat enters the FW King’s treasury, he will commit suicide, and he still owes a huge foreign debt.

It was difficult to prepare a dowry for her daughter, and since Queen Louise lived longer than in history, she was unwilling to let her daughter suffer any injustice. (End of this chapter)
