late at night
Li Mu looked at the classic yet 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 traveled. His name is Franz Joseph, the old emperor of the Austro-Hungarian Empire in history and the protagonist in Princess Sissi's love story.
The grandson of the Holy Roman Emperor Franz II, the eldest son of Archduke Franz Karl, and his mother Princess Sophie Frederica, the daughter of King Maximilian I of Bavaria.
(Franz-Joseph I, the founder of the Austro-Hungarian Empire, the last emperor of the Habsburg dynasty, was born on August 18, 1830, ascended the throne on December 2, 1848, and died on November 21, 1916. )
God seems to have played a joke with Franz. In his early years, he lived a fairy-tale life, with an unusually beautiful queen, lovely children, and controlling a powerful empire.
In the early years, Franz was worthy of the title of Emperor, he made his people, his country, his nation and the woman he loved so safe and proud because of him.
It's a pity that this is like a dream of Nanke, and it turns sharply in his later years.
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, and his retaliatory war for it left tens of millions in blood and the empire he had fought for his whole life crumbled.
Franz's uncle, the current emperor of Austria, Ferdinand I, could not have children due to congenital defects, and Franz was trained as the heir of the empire early.
As the heir of the empire, the happy life of childhood has to say goodbye to him, and the happy life of the nobles, not to mention, has nothing to do with Franz.
Study, study, study, from the moment of birth, Franz received the most rigorous training.
Falling asleep in a cold camp bed, getting up at four every morning, washing with cold water, starting a devout Catholic morning prayer at the prayer table beside the bed, and then starting a twelve-hour study.
Whether it is the cold winter months or the summer dog days, nothing has changed.
As soon as he crossed over, snow and ice covered Vienna. It was the first time to take a cold shower in the cold winter. Li Mu thought he was about to die, but he didn't expect his health to be surprisingly good, and he didn't even catch a cold.
More than 700 days and nights are enough to change a lot of things. Now that Li Mu is Franz, he doesn't even know that his willpower is so strong. Sure enough, everyone is forced out.
In the past two years, Li Mu, no, it's Franz now. He retains most of the living habits of the original owner.
Many times he wondered if the memory of his previous life was a dream.
After carefully comparing the historical development, Franz found helplessly that this world is exactly the same as the world he experienced in his previous life, and even the potato harvest in Germany has not changed.
As a history lover, he did not study Austrian history less in his previous life. He knew that the Austrian Empire, which looked like a splendid flower, was actually strong from outside, and it would collapse suddenly with just a slight push.
On the surface, the current Austrian Empire is still in its prime. As the leader of the Vienna Conference and the maker of the European order after the Anti-French War, it is acting as the European military police at this time.
No one knew that this eldest empire would collapse in the Great Revolution two years later, and that the Austrian Empire would have become history in 1849 if the powers hadn't needed him to exist.
Even if it barely survived, the Austrian Empire has since turned from prosperity to decline.
Because of the diplomatic failure, it led to a series of military failures, first in the Austrian-French War, then in the Austro-Prussian War, and even the Italians bit a piece of meat from Austria.
A series of failures hit the authority of the central government, and finally was forced to make a compromise, transforming from the Austrian Empire to the dualistic Austro-Hungarian Empire.
The establishment of the Austro-Hungarian Empire in history is full of chance, and Franz dare not bet that he can do better than the original owner. Saving the Austrian Empire now is his mid-term goal.
Of course, he can also choose to escape, give up his right to inherit the throne, become an ordinary person, and find a safe place to be a happy capitalist.
It's a pity that Franz's ambitions have grown out of his two-year aristocratic career.
Life is short, decades in a hurry. Since you can travel through once, you can stand at the peak of the world and be a trend-setter of the times, why should you retreat
It was late at night, and Franz continued to perfect his plan for saving the country, which has been revised many times.

"Grand Duke, it's time to go to class!" the maid reminded softly
The voice of the maid woke Franz from his sleep.
"Got it!" Franz said helplessly.
Now he is a good student, politics, history, philosophy, language, religion... dozens of homework, that is, all of them are able to pass ~ average pass.
That's right, just add the scores of all subjects together, and he will barely pass the average. If he fails, he will round up.
This is definitely a good student. Compared with 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, asked him to do the best, while the standards of the two younger brothers were just to make do.
In Franz's view, this education is essentially a failure. Too much course content needs to be memorized by rote, leaving no time to think.
There was no way. At this time, there was a change in the Habsburg family. Both the father and the uncle were the masters of congenital IQ arrears. The family's inheritance and education had been broken down, and the imperial academics that had been passed down by word of mouth were interrupted.
These lessons were arranged by Mother Sophie, a faithful Catholic who believed that as the emperor's heir, she had to be strong, any emotional outpouring would be disastrous, and Franz's requirements were extraordinarily strict.
In addition to learning his mother tongue, Franz was able to write letters in French at the age of 8, learned Magyar, Czech, Italian at the age of 11, and began to dabble in Latin and Greek at the age of 13...
It's a pity that he failed to inherit the genes of the original master's academic master. After eating up the old money left by the original master, Franz's schoolwork went from bad to worse.
In history, Franz, who was proficient in eight languages and could speak almost all the national languages of the Austro-Hungarian Empire, is gone, and now there is only one scumbag who worked hard to pass the exam - Franz.
