AEIOU's Dream

...There is no other way. Once the prelude to reform/reform is kicked off, there is no turning back. — Joseph II

In the year following that conference, Empress Maria's health deteriorated dramatically.

"Your Majesty! Your Majesty!" Roderich held her hand, wanting to say something, but he continued to repeat the other person's name tirelessly. The condition of the woman lying on the bed had deteriorated to the point of no optimism.Although Roderich had already prepared for these things, it was still difficult to accept the pain of parting so quickly.

"Rod..." She held his hand back, and comforted Roderich with firm and gentle eyes, as if the person who suffered from the disease was not her, "Go and call Joseph."

Roderich slowly withdrew his hand, pretending to be calm, not wanting the other party to notice that his hand was shaking, "Yes, Your Majesty."

When he walked out the door, he covered half of his face with his slightly warm hand, trying to hide the tears in his eyes.

He gently walked towards Joseph II who was waiting outside: "Go in quickly."

Watching Joseph walk into the room carefully, Roderich put down his hands and sat down without poise.

"Brother..." Shinra looked at him cautiously.

He raised his head and looked at his younger brother with a blank look.

"Are you OK……"

He shook his head, then rested his head on his brother's shoulder.

In this way, very quietly waiting.

After a long time, Joseph II's voice came from the room: "Where does Your Majesty want to go?"

Then there was the crash of someone falling to the ground.

Roderich stood up suddenly, walked in, and saw Maria who had fallen to the ground without answering, and she had already swallowed her last breath.

"..." There was silence all around.

In the evening, major newspapers published the news of Maria Theresa's death.

Frederick II held the newspaper he had been reading for a long time: "I really can't tell whether I am happy or sad without such an opponent."

"I'm glad that the strong enemy is dead and there is one less threat. It's a pity that the future life will be much lonely without her." Gilbert leaned back on the chair, "Is that right?"

"Yes." Frederick smiled lightly, "but don't be too happy, there is also her son!"

"Cut, that hairy boy! My uncle hasn't taken him seriously yet."

"However, if something like this happens, your young master must be very sad."

"...Yeah, he will cry alone again... Now there is no one around him like Waxiu to comfort him." Gilbert's tone was mixed with more than a little bit, and even he couldn't say it. Clear complex emotions.

"Well... a bit sour. Want to comfort him?"

"What! My uncle's consolation can only be provocation in his eyes, okay! It's useless!"

I don't know whether this news is happy or worrying, and it is gradually spreading in the territory of Germany.Then came the astonishing changes brought about by the Vienna government.

Since the death of his beloved mother, the unrestrained Joseph II hastened the pace of reform.

Overwhelming decrees came oncoming, sweeping announcements were planned, and the ten years he ruled alone after leaving his mother were called "Joseph's ten years."

As early as one month before the death of the Queen Mother, Joseph promulgated the Tolerance Covenant Act, allowing all Christians, including Protestants and other sects, to enjoy the freedom of religious activities and hold public office The right to allow Protestants/Christians to organize their own parishes.This is simply a miracle for Austria, a "die-hard" country that believes in Catholicism.

Although there was this sensational decree as a foreshadowing, after the death of the Empress Dowager, Joseph II actually began to limit the power of the Lord/Christian, which still aroused the shock of Rome/Holy Court/Ting.

"Boss, there are a lot of unfavorable rumors about you from the Holy See. They also say that you advocate against the Church."

"Let them say whatever they like. Anyway, I insist that my choice is correct. Rhodes, you know, I don't really want to oppose the church. It's just that I have to build a church that is governed by the country and the people themselves. It is very inconvenient for the secular country that dominates me to always be dictated by the church to implement my policies."

"Your choice sounds really good, but..." Listening to his boss's explanation, Roderich always felt that something was wrong, but he couldn't make it clear for a while.

"Okay, Rhodes, you can rest assured and leave it to me!"

"It's only going to be like this until now."

Following the religious policy, the boss started to liberate/liberate/peasants/slaves again.Under the interference of the queen mother, he failed to completely abolish serfdom in all the territories ruled by the family, and now he can finally give it a go.

Poland/Greece/Mia/Asia, Hungary/Haya/Li, and other territories of the empire successively promulgated subject charters.

"...All subjects shall enjoy complete liberty under the protection of the national land law..." Roderich read the content of the subject's charter.

But there are still many opposing voices below.

"Absolutely not! If the peasants/slaves are free/free, then there will be no basis for the implementation of the privileges of the nobility."

"Yes!"

"And the decree also abolished the tax-free privileges of noble landlords. This will definitely cause dissatisfaction among many noble landlords!"

"This is going to drive us to a dead end!"

Roderich frowned, and stopped the noise of the crowd: "Be quiet, Your Majesty will give you a satisfactory answer."

After the people below finally calmed down, Joseph II began to speak: "Maybe everyone has many doubts about my policy, but I will still resolutely implement it."

The tough attitude silenced the people below.

"And I believe everyone knows that my mother has issued many similar decrees, but the scope and intensity are not as large as this one. I can tell you the truth that my original intention is to benefit the development of the country, not to care about Is the life of a serf/slave happy? I think everyone is the same as me on this point.”

These words gave reassurance to the opponents just now.

"My measures to protect the peasants are the same as my mother's. It is not to really harm the rights and interests of the noble landlords, but to coordinate the relationship between us and our subjects. If we are unwilling to make any concessions, when the time comes the revolution / Fate is coming, no one has good fruit to eat!"

Opponents looked at each other, seemingly carefully weighing the pros and cons.

"If we don't want to see the moment when the peasants don't give us anything, wouldn't it be better for us to make some concessions of one kind or another before then? It's better than dying with old and decaying dreams !"

Roderich had to believe that part of the queen mother's speech gene was passed on to her son, but for those guys who were drunk all day long, even the little bit of benefit in front of them was still very reluctant.Just talking to them like this, the chances of the other party compromising are still very small...

Roderich sighed, "Is this really okay?"

"...There is no other way. Once the prelude to reform/reform is opened, there will be no turning back." Joseph II could also see the precarious situation in Austria, but with his character, he had no choice but to move forward bravely. option.

For him, such a boss, if he can't become an opportunity for him to become stronger, will become a disaster for the collapse of the empire.

But now, he is standing at the crossroads of history. If the reform takes a wrong step, what awaits him is complete failure.

He remembered what that guy had said to him—"No one is destined to take over the banner of Guangyao De/yi/zhi from the very beginning. Young master, you have worked hard for a long time to sit where you are today. If you're not up to the task, leave it to my uncle."

He must grab his seat in this knockout match, otherwise, he can only disappear into the vast sea of ​​history.

small theater:

Pu: (wanting to comfort someone but worrying about being misunderstood as provocation) Why, my uncle is too bitter!

Hung: Who told you that your way of speaking is wrong. (spread hands)

Pu: No way!

Hun: If you don’t believe me, please watch the VCR.

Scenario [-]:

——Yo, young master, look at what you said, I can't come if I have nothing to do... How about a big fight?My uncle has long been unhappy with that Rotten Sith guy! (Finally, I was a little excited to see the young master again)

—Very well... But what do you want? (This guy has nothing to do to be courteous, there is definitely something tricky]

——An identity that can make it clear that the media is marrying you. (Hahahaha did you hear that? This is my confession, accept it quickly)

——… (Are you using such a false excuse to think that I am a three-year-old child?)

Lesson: Use a more serious tone when confessing.

Scenario two:

——Let me tell you, if you want to reminisce about the old days, get out of my sight! (Jealous)

——Who wants to catch up with those guys, I want to kill you even more! BLABLA

— Yo!Have the happy times of the past few years eroded you completely?How can there be such things as feelings between countries! (Am I stupid? Why should I provoke the young master)

—I will always remember you—traitor! (Sure enough... this bastard!)

—Tch, I don’t want to be told that by you! ! (Who will stop my mouth!!)

Lesson: Standing is very important. It is best not to stand on the opposite side of your sweetheart, because you may not be able to help yourself.Although you may have many grievances, don't underestimate the level of hatred you can draw when your mouth twitches.Of course, if you like to fall in love and kill each other, then it's up to you.

Scenario three:

—You bastard, how did you promise me in the first place! !Doing unforgivable things to Mr. Rhodes is your so-called sincerity?In other words, your possessiveness towards him has reached an outrageous level! ! (You idiot, do you really want to choose the path of being in love? My old lady will not allow you to abuse the young master!)

——Haha, what are you talking about!I don't remember what promise I made with you!Don't laugh so hard, who would like a guy with a corrupt life style, an arrogant and squeamish attitude like the young master!Haha, how can this uncle be possessive, you are out of your mind! ! (You are a pig, why did you say this in front of the young master! Didn’t the old man expose you!!)

——I'm really sorry, I'm really not very lovable! (You are the idiots, why don't you just start fighting on the battlefield.)

——… (I seem to be hated by the young master again.)

——… (You deserve it, who told you to say something wrong! My old lady will not help you this time.)

Lesson: Don't say bad things about your sweetheart to hide your shyness, because the other person may not hear your duplicity.

Scenario four:

——What exactly do you want? (I feel that I really can't understand each other.)

——My uncle... I want a power that can be used by the media to take you...Little master, I like you! (I have said it so many times why you just don’t believe it!)

—Mr. Big Stupid. (What's the use of saying this now.)

—Damn it, who are you talking about! (Why?)

——Of course it's you...Maybe, there's me...Give up...I can't possibly like you. (Who told you to fight against me all day long, the national conditions do not allow the two of us to fall in love.)

——Little Master...Little Master...I don't want to let go!Let's die together... (Damn!)

Lesson: What did you do early!Only come to confess when you have to kill each other! !

Scenario five:

——Young master, why are you hiding in the hole like a cowardly mouse and refusing to come out?Haha, you better go home and play the piano! (If you hate me, I hate you!)

——How can there be such a rude guy in this world!Do you exist to disgust others with your vulgar tone? (You hate me and I hate you even more!)

Lesson learned: When you meet someone who is more duplicity than you, don't try to challenge his arrogance.

Scenario six:

——Let’s talk about it, let’s talk about it first, my uncle wants to get Austria. (I am confessing to you very seriously!)

—You Mr. Stupid, what are you kidding! (Who would believe it.)

——If it doesn’t work, my uncle will get mad. (Again, I mean it.)

——I'm already getting angry!Please don't take this as a casual occasion! (Hmph, I will believe that I am a three-year-old child.)

--Eh?Uncle Ben was very serious for a while. (Damn, I really like you, why don't you believe it!)

Lesson: Too many previous convictions, don't expect the other party to believe you.And the other party is still a natural fool in love, so don't think that the other party will understand.

--VCR END--

Hung: There is nothing to see, there is an explanation and there is the truth!

Pu: You can't blame me, the young master has a low EQ.

Hun: Hmph, yours is very tall?Who told you that your way of speaking is wrong!

P: ...Then what kind of way of speaking is correct.

Hun: This... I don't know either.

Pu: I was misunderstood as joking when I was hitting a straight ball, and I was misunderstood as two people hating each other when I was playing a curve... This uncle is very bitter, okay!

The author has something to say: PS
