Chapter 117: Ascend

Time passed quickly, and at the end of August, Vienna became lively as Franz's ascension ceremony approached.
Cheers and laughter dilute the shadows brought by the March insurgency.
The government's wartime economic system played a big role in restoring the economy, and Austria has shaken off the effects of the economic crisis.
A large number of state-owned enterprises were born, and the implementation of the Labor Protection Law gave the working class a sigh of relief, and everyone's lives were much better.
Thanks to the long-term positive publicity of the newspaper, Franz's popularity in the folk is still very good, and the public is looking forward to his young monarch.
The face of the Habsburgs is still big enough. The major nobles in Europe sent heavyweights to participate in the ceremony. For a time, Vienna was full of powerful people.
Franz finally realized what the lower half of the family was. This really has relatives all over Europe, and the messy relationship is unclear.
Fortunately, Europe does not care about seniority, otherwise Franz will be dumbfounded, because from different perspectives, the relationship is different, it is possible that one person is yours at the same time: second uncle, third uncle, little nephew, cousin ...
This is because the situation in the European continent is unstable, and many aristocrats remain in the country to preside over the overall situation, otherwise Vienna will be even more lively.
The capitalists must be grateful to Franz. His ascension ceremony directly raised the level of business prosperity in Vienna.
These guests who come to the ceremony are a bunch of big names. How can you bring a few younger brothers when you go out? Now, Vienna has suddenly added tens of thousands of high-quality customers with strong purchasing power.
On September 1, this commemorative day, God gave his face so much that he seemed to care for his faithful followers.
Today, the sky in Vienna is extremely high, the air is exceptionally cool, and the wind is exceptionally soft. There is no hot summer and no bitter winter wind, and the earth is green.
In this beautiful day, Franz ascended the throne of the Austrian emperor in Hofburg, and Austrian history opened a new page.
How was the sacred ascension ceremony this time? Franz didn't want to comment. He now only has one feeling-tired.
First, he walked through the ascension process like a puppet, and then went to receive a group of VIPs, exhausting him.
In the evening, back in the bedroom, Franz felt only a futility. The magnificent Vienna Palace did not seem to make him feel warm.
The emperor is destined to be lonely. A great emperor must abandon unnecessary emotions, which are also part of the political system.
The emperors are lonely in their decision-making and reform, both emotionally and politically. They have also honed a hard heart in loneliness and tempered tolerance in loneliness.
The European continent is a little bit better, the internal tumbling of the royal family is not so serious. Under normal circumstances, there is no need to worry about siblings usurping power, this is the only good news.
Franz had good luck. There were two younger brothers and a younger sister below. The younger sister didn't have to think about it. He met God before he crossed. Naturally, there was no relationship. The remaining brothers The sister relationships are very good.
In the light of my brother's use for pits, these two boys, Massimilino and Karl Ludwig, were pushed out by Franz to greet guests, which was also the responsibility of the royal family.
Even the last sister, Franz didn't want to ask for trouble. Princess Ludwig Victor is just 6 years old and lively and active. Prank is one of her hobbies.
Franz, like Father Carl, likes this porcelain doll-like sister very much and is very indulgent to her, which makes Mrs. Sophie who wants to train her into a qualified princess a headache.
Looking at the extra gifts in the room, Franz's cold heart melted and opened a beautiful gift box with a fat little clay figure inside.
The clay figurine wears something that may be a hat or a crown. Who knows?
Picking up the small note next to it, looking at the content above, Franz felt a little bit crying. According to the letter, this figure is the tall image of Franz in the eyes of his sister.
The fat of the clay figurine is okay. Inferior products can't ask for too much. What's wrong with missing an arm? Is his brother a cripple?
Franz can only throw this pot to the Renaissance. After the European Renaissance, many European statues were short-armed and short-legged.
This has not taught the next generation, and incompleteness is beauty, so this piece of Princess Ludwig Victor's work is no exception.
After making up his mind to correct this wrong aesthetic, Franz was already lying on the bed and quickly fell asleep. Tomorrow will work, and young people have not yet enjoyed it.
...
The next day, Franz woke up early in the morning as usual, and he saw that he was in a good mood. He woke up in the Vienna Palace and replaced today's training by the way.
As one of the three most famous palaces in Europe, Vienna Palace is still very beautiful. What you see and see is the dazzling enamel painted window lattice, and lifelike marble reliefs, like Rodin's hands, like Mikai's soul, like Da Vinci's aura, like Raphael's free and easy ...
"Your Majesty, the Prime Minister and the Cabinet Ministers are asking."
The maid's clear voice sounded in Franz's ears, and he was still a little uncomfortable. He was His Highness before yesterday, and now he has become His Majesty.
This maladaptation flashed away, and Franz replied, "Please come over!"
Early in the morning, the Prime Minister Felix brought the cabinet to the door. Obviously, there was a major event, otherwise they would not be so rash.
"Sit down, Jenny asked the kitchen to prepare more breakfast."
Franz knows that everyone came so early, and most of them came from hungry belly. As a good leader, he naturally cares about the lives of his subordinates.
"Say, what happened, you rushed over in such a hurry?" Franz asked
In order to carry out the ascension ceremony smoothly, the Austrian government is implementing a prudent policy. It can be said that it is Guotai and Min'an, and no major incident will occur.
Prime Minister Felix replied with a somber expression: "Your Majesty, our secret investigation of church assets is about to be revealed. A related document in the Cabinet was stolen yesterday and is now unknown."
Hearing the news, Franz's good mood disappeared for a moment. It was not the time that the news was leaked. The church was so entrenched that an inventory of their assets could not be completed overnight.
This is not to suppress the insurgents. They can directly arrest people and copy their families. For the people in these churches, the Austrian government cannot be so rude.
Franz just wanted their money, and even if they died, the people still needed their souls and couldn't kill them with a single stick.
After the news was leaked, it was difficult to check it slowly. There are many ways to transfer and conceal property, and let these people react. After packing up the tail, the Austrian government will not get much in the end.
Franz thought for a while and said, "Go ahead, anyway, we don't expect to drain the church's oil and water, and confiscate their illegal property and get it back.
Other good possessions, can't the church's land always be hidden?
The Ministry of Foreign Affairs talked with His Majesty the Pope and asked him to give an order that the churches in Austria sell all the land to the government. The money was used to save the Pope ’s military expenses. "
Opportunity is rare, and now Asylum IX is being driven into exile by revolutionaries. Franz was just crowned yesterday and is now in Vienna. Bare interest exchange, not afraid that he would refuse.
As for the interests of the Austrian church, what does this matter to the pope?
The Papal State was the foundation of Asylum IX. The interests of the Austrian church were damaged. The biggest loss was a group of local bishops. It was nothing to pay a little price to regain the Papal State.
"Yes, Your Majesty!" Metternich replied.
Using the Pope to deal with the church is the best way. As long as there is a righteous name, the Austrian government can easily force these bishops to compromise.
The Austrian government wants the property of the church, but not their personal property. It is not enough to make them desperate.
The domestic rebellion has just been suppressed, many people in Austria are killing people, and the aristocrats have awe for the government, which is the best opportunity to start.
"Your Majesty, it would be better to call the bishops from all over the world to come to Vienna for a meeting in the name of the Pope, and announce to them this decision. Whoever opposes, let Pius IX remove him from the position of bishop." Prime Minister Felix proposed
Obviously, in the era of the decline of the papal power, the pope is no longer so high. The Prime Minister Felix did not take Asylum IX at all, and if Austria wanted it, it would not be too difficult to change to a Pope.
The Austrian government now respects Pius IX because it was a pleasure for everyone to cooperate with before. As a Catholic country, respect the Pope.
After listening to Felix's words, the "Hongmen Banquet" instantly appeared in Franz's mind. The bishop was not hereditary, and the Holy See had the right to be fired.
Although until now most bishop appointments and removals have been decided by the local church, the Holy See has only come to the scene.
Now that the Austrian government needs it, this right can be returned to the Pope in a short time.
Those who follow me prosper, those who oppose me die.
As long as the smart people know that once the protagonist is dismissed, their bad things will be wiped out by the Austrian government in the shortest time, and there is only one word waiting for their result-death.
"Okay, just do it!"
Franz nodded and said, "You can solve the problem with a civilized person. Why is it so bloody?"
The church has a long history of greed and corruption, and he, a pseudo-Catholic, has no intention of clearing the door for God.
