late at night

Li Mu looked at the classical and luxurious room, and then looked at his cold iron bed, no matter how he looked at it, he felt awkward.

Li Mu sighed helplessly, it's been two years!

That's right, Li Mu has crossed over, his current name is Franz Joseph, the old emperor of the Austro-Hungarian Empire in history, the protagonist of Princess Sissi's love story.

The eldest son of Grand Duke Franz Karl, grandson of Holy Roman Emperor Franz II, and his mother was Princess Sophie Friedrica, daughter of King Maximilian I of Bavaria.

(Franz-Joseph I, founder of the Austro-Hungarian Empire and last emperor of the Habsburg dynasty, was born August 18, 1830, ascended to the throne on December 2, 1848, and died on November 21, 1916.) ）

God seems to have played a joke on Franz, who lived a fairytale life in his early years, with an unusually beautiful queen and lovely children, and controlled a powerful empire.

In his early years, Franz was worthy of the title of emperor, and he made his people, his country, his people, and the women he loved dearly safe and proud because of him.

It's a pity that this is like a dream of Nanke, and it will take a sharp turn in his old age.

His brother was shot in Mexico, his wife was stabbed to death by an Italian anarchist in Geneva, and his son committed suicide at a young age.

The chosen heir was stabbed to death by the Serbian mafia, for which he launched a war of revenge that left tens of millions of people in blood and the collapse of the empire for which he had fought all his life.

Franz's uncle, Ferdinand I, the current Emperor of Austria, could not have children due to a birth defect, and Franz was raised as the heir of the empire at an early age.

As the heir of the empire, the happy life of childhood, just say goodbye to him, the happy life of the nobles who are drunk with money, not to mention, has nothing to do with Franz.

Study, study, and study, from the moment he was born, Franz underwent the most rigorous training.

Sleeping on a cold marching bed, he would get up at four o'clock every morning, wash himself in cold water, and begin the morning prayer of a devout Catholic in front of the prayer table beside the bed, and then begin his study for twelve hours.

Whether it is the cold winter or the dog days, it has not changed.

As soon as he crossed, the ice and snow covered Vienna, and the first time he took a cold shower in the cold winter, Li Mudu thought that he was about to finish, but he didn't expect his body to be surprisingly good, and he didn't even have a cold.

More than 700 days and nights are enough to change many things, and now Li Mu is Franz, he doesn't know that his willpower is so strong, and sure enough, people are forced out.

In the past two years, Li Mu, no, now it's Franz. He retained most of the habits of the original owner.

Many times he wondered if the memories of his past life were dreaming.

After carefully comparing the historical development, Franz reluctantly found that this world was exactly the same as the world he had experienced in his previous life, and even the poor potato harvest in Germany had not changed.

As a history buff, he had studied Austrian history in his previous life, and he knew that the Austrian Empire, which looked like a flowery Austrian empire, was in fact a foreign powerhouse and a blow would collapse with just a slight push.

On the surface, the Austrian Empire was still in its prime, and as the leader of the Congress of Vienna and the maker of the European order after the war against France, it was playing the role of the European gendarme at this time.

No one knew that this old empire would collapse in the Great Revolution two years later, and that the Austrian Empire would have been history in 1849 had it not been for the need for his existence by the Great Powers.

Even if it barely survived, the Austrian Empire went from prosperity to decline.

Because of the diplomatic failures, which led to a series of military defeats, first the defeat of the Austro-French War, and then the defeat of the Austro-Prussian War, even the Italians bit a piece of meat from Austria.

A series of defeats undermined the authority of the central government, and finally forced to make a compromise from the Austrian Empire to the dual Austro-Hungarian Empire.

The establishment of the Austro-Hungarian Empire in history was full of accidents, and Franz did not dare to bet that he could do better than the original owner. Saving the Austrian Empire now was his medium-term goal.

Of course, he can also choose to escape, give up the right to inherit the throne, be an ordinary person, and find a safe place to be a happy capitalist.

Unfortunately, after two years of aristocratic career, Franz's ambitions had already grown.

Life is short, decades in a hurry. Since you can stand at the top of the world and be the trendsetter of the times, why do you have to retreat?

It was already late at night, and Franz continued to refine his plan to save the country, which has been revised I don't know how many times.

……

"Grand Duke, it's time to go to class!" The maid reminded softly

The maid's voice woke Franz from his sleep.

"Got it!" Franz said helplessly

Now he is a good student, politics, history, philosophy, languages, religion...... Dozens of homework, that is all doors can ~ average pass.

That's right, just add up the grades of all the subjects, find the average and he will barely pass, if he doesn't, then round up.

This is definitely a good student, compared to the two younger brothers who studied together, Franz is also an honor student.

Of course, this is the result of different standards, his mother, Mrs. Sophie, demands that he must do his best, while the standards of the two younger brothers are just a little bit of a make-do.

In Franz's view, this education was essentially a failure. Too much of the course content needs to be memorized, and there is simply no time left for thinking.

There was no way, at this time, there was a change in the Habsburg family, my father and uncle were the masters of innate IQ arrears, and the inheritance and education of the family were interrupted, and the imperial scholarship that had been passed down by word of mouth was interrupted.

These lessons were arranged by her mother, Sophie, a faithful Catholic who believed that as the heir to the emperor must be strong, that any outpouring of affection would be disastrous, and that Franz was particularly strict.

In addition to learning his mother tongue, Franz was able to write letters in French at the age of eight, Magyalic, Czech, and Italian at the age of 11, and Latin and Greek at the age of 13......

It's a pity that he couldn't inherit the genes of the original owner, and after eating the old book left by the original owner, Franz's schoolwork is getting worse.

Franz, who was fluent in eight languages and could speak in almost all the national languages of the Austro-Hungarian Empire, is gone, and now only one scumbag is left, Franz, who worked hard to pass.
