Chapter 2373: The power of the empire

"Well, let's talk about it, what's your attitude towards Prince Baden?" Ruprecht turned his head and asked. Another important significance of this meeting is to allow the next generation of power holders from all countries to "know" each other. According to history, Duke Albrecht will serve as the patriarch of the Württemberg royal family in the year, and this plane, the kingdom of Württemberg has not perished, so this Duke will inevitably become a king. This is why the Duke dares to fight with Grand Duke Baden's confidence!

　　 Christian will not say, the future king of Saxony. As for the Prince of Baden, according to history, he and his brother died within one year, but don’t forget that he was the last prime minister of the Second German Empire in history. If nothing else, Holweger is at best a cutscene. In the future, the Grand Duke of Baden will be responsible for the Grand Duchy of Baden. The Prince of Baden is likely to become prime minister, with sufficient ability and status. As long as Bavaria doesn't stop it... Ever since, this meeting brought together the kings and heirs of the next four kingdoms of the empire, the current and future prime ministers, and the future chief of staff of the empire!

　　 "Different from his brother, he is not so strong and knows how to circuitous. He may be able to do many things that the previous prime minister could not do. Perhaps their threat to us is second only to Bismarck." The Duke thought for a while and said.

　　 "Didn't Your Highness praise Prince Baden just now? I don't think what I said just now seems to be false." Crown Prince Christian frowned and said.

"I'm telling the truth. If you have to elect an imperial chancellor from the North Germans, he is the best choice, but it does not mean that this choice is harmless to us. Sometimes it is impossible to force it to do so. It may not be impossible to buy and coordinate benefits." The crown prince said meaningfully. "Okay, let's get ready to go in. It's not good for a bunch of people to be stuck here."

　　 "Have you waited for Prime Minister Holweger and Marshal Mochi?" Crown Prince Christian asked.

"They won't go in with us. We are the representative of the state, and he is the representative of the empire. Well, if they stand, will they be on the side of the Kaiser? Or are they on our side? So, they will be there. We'll follow up after we get in. It's not just two people that we blocked." Ruprecht said with a smile.

　　 It stands to reason that the prime minister and chief of staff of the empire represent the empire. Should they have a higher status? Sorry, even if people like Bismarck and Old Mochi have more power in the empire than the head of state, their status is not like that! what? You do not believe? Go and see the famous coronation picture of William I in the Hall of Mirrors in the Palace of Versailles. The man who raised his hand next to the Kaiser was the Grand Duke of Baden at the time, and where was Bismarck? Under the steps! He is holding a tray in his hand and wearing white clothes. This is true for Bismarck and Old Maoqi, and even more so for Holweger and Little Maoqi in this situation!

　　 With the end of the "blocking the door" incident, everything started to go on track. The convoys of the Grand Duke of Baden and the Grand Duke of Oldenburg came to the venue one by one, and then prepared to enter the Sanssouci Palace after a simple greeting. There were no accidents in all the remaining admission ceremonies, and Ruprecht entered the venue together with representatives of four other states. In this process, Ruprecht was surprised that it was not Prince William but Prince Albert that received him! What surprised the crown prince was that the Grand Duke of Baden didn't seem to know that it was Prince Albert who came to greet him this time!

　　 "Hold the grass! What does this TM mean?" Ruprecht was a little dizzy. After all, the so-called aristocratic etiquette is very strict in Germany now, let's put it this way! Not to mention this kind of occasion where the main state leaders must gather together! Even a banquet of higher specifications attended by the Kaiser! The Germans will also arrange a place for each of the more than 2,000 nobles present! Everyone has their place! If there may be some loopholes in a crowded banquet, then this kind of occasion will definitely not go wrong! If you think something is wrong, it can only be your problem.

"Grand Duke Baden, is Prince Wilhelm with the Kaiser?" Crown Prince Ruprecht's tone was a little erratic, making it impossible to grasp what he meant to express, expressing to the prince that he did not come out to greet him personally. Dissatisfaction, or what else do you mean? In fact, the crown prince wanted to ask if the crown prince was here. If he was here, then it would be disrespectful to the southern states to be greeted by Prince Albert. After all, there is an empire marshal of Sanyuan! Representatives of the three kingdoms! And if the crown prince is not there, the problem is big!

　　Of course, you can’t directly ask Prince Albert about this kind of thing. After all, from a purely polite point of view, Prince Albert comes to greet you, and then you ask where your brother is. Isn't this boring to find? It's not a question of not being afraid, but it is unnecessary. Therefore, even if you want to swindle, you must swindle the Grand Duke of Baden, who is closest to the core of rights, and the response of Grand Duke Baden really makes the crown prince very interesting.

"Ask me?" The Grand Duke of Baden felt awkward after hearing Ruprecht's words~www.wuxiaspot.com~Because this incident was so sudden, he agreed with the German Emperor that the Crown Prince and Albert The prince did not attend the meeting, and the Grand Duke of Baden confirmed that the prince is not in Berlin now! He is in Riga, patrolling the newly added territory, but now, the crown prince has not appeared in Sanssouci Palace, but Prince Albert has appeared here, and the problem is serious.

　　 The Grand Duke of Baden kept complaining in his heart that the Kaiser could really cause trouble for himself, although this did not violate the previous agreement, after all, Prince Albert was only responsible for welcoming him. But this was enough to make other countries feel special, and it also made Grand Duke Baden unable to answer. After all, this is related to the position of the crown prince. You may be jealous when you say something! Regardless of whether this is true or not.

"Dear Marshal of the Empire, Prince Ruprecht, I am now serving in the emperor's guard, and it is my duty to maintain the honor of the Empire. Now, I am not here to welcome you as a prince. It is the Prime Minister of the Empire and the Chief of Staff who really greet you.” Just when Grand Duke Baden didn't know what to say, Prince Albert on the side rescued the Duke.

　　 "Oh, no wonder I didn't see Xiao Moqi and the others just now, so they went by the side door." The crown prince said in his heart, of course, this is not the point. The point is that Prince Albert named himself as the commander of the honor guard. It does not have any political significance. Of course, it is not clear how to say that. As for the need for a prince to serve in the German Guard?
