"Oh, it turns out to be Manuel II. The toad wants to eat the swan meat!"
In the garden of the Guanabara Palace, which was renamed the Renaissance Palace, Helen, who was swinging on the swing with the help of Charlotte, talked about the reason for her trip to Brazil.
"Yes, brother, this stinky pervert has been stalking me and it's really annoying."
Helen pouted her mouth angrily and cursed angrily. She had just succeeded King Manuel II of Portugal.
"This guy, who just lost his father and brother, has only been King of Portugal for nine months, and he is already pursuing me. He hopes to continue to marry into our family. It's really a beautiful idea."
"Want to continue the marriage? This guy has to decide whether he is worthy or not!"
Tangning was very disdainful of Manuel II who overestimated his abilities and pursued his precious sister.
“Luis Felipe is my sister’s marriage partner.
Now that he has been assassinated and killed, the marriage is over. Manuel II, this poor king, is worthy of marrying our family.
Even if he is a king, so what? Am I no longer a king? "
"My father and mother said so too. Who would care about the King of Portugal!"
Helen fully agreed with her brother's words.
"Father, in fact, I have already hinted.
It's just that I was embarrassed to tell him clearly because of my relatives. I didn't expect that he didn't understand his own abilities at all, and still pursued me beyond his capabilities.
His ability is far inferior to that of his brother Luis Felipe. His brother is not worthy of marrying me, so can he? "
"Brother, I was really annoyed by him, so my father secretly asked me to come here to avoid the limelight.
However, I didn't expect that when I came to Brazil by boat, you actually became the king of Brazil and restored the Kingdom of Brazil. You are really amazing. "
Helen's eyes were shining as she looked at Tangning with admiration. She admired her brother so much. Her brother was as outstanding as ever.
“When I came to the palace, I walked around Rio de Janeiro and found that the people here are so supportive of you!
Especially the citizens, workers, and farmers are full of praise for you, thinking that you are the king of the people, striving to make the country rich and powerful. "
"Of course, you don't even know who I am!"
Tang Ning picked up the tea cup on the tea tray on the stone table, gently took a sip, then relaxed her brows and continued.
"Well, can you tell me about the important things that have happened in Portugal since the assassination on February 1?"
"Brother, are you so concerned about this rotten country like Portugal?"
Helen didn't understand why her brother paid so much attention to Portugal, a messy country.
“Brother, you are now the King of Brazil, and you will also be the Prince of Luxembourg in the future.
My father no longer expects his family's right to inherit the throne of Portugal. He is still staying in the Algarve because of his sense of responsibility. He just wants to benefit the people in his territory. "
"Talk about the situation, I'm just curious about the shape of Portugal."
Facing him, his brother Tangning looked interested. As his younger sister, Helen, of course, would not disappoint him.
"What else?
On February 1st, King Carlos I and his royal family set off from the palace and rode an open carriage through the streets of Lisbon.
While passing through the commercial square, someone was waiting for an opportunity to assassinate him. Their defense facilities were too poor.
The incompetent and tyrannical King Carlos I was shot and killed on the spot; Luis Felipe was seriously wounded and died two hours later; Manuel the Toad was lucky enough to only be hit in the arm by a bullet. .
The murderer was quickly caught. Investigation revealed that they were two rebellious people who resented the king. Their background was not found and the republicans did not admit it. These two guys were quickly executed. "
"The two gangsters have no background, they are just lying!"
Charlotte does not believe that there is no one behind these two rebellious officials. The second princess of Luxembourg, who has grown up, will never believe this rhetoric.
"Also, why do you want to kill him so quickly?
Even if you are really not a republican, you can still use this opportunity to cleanse them! "
Charlotte watched her master perform one operation after another in Brazil, especially the recent assassination incident. It was simply a stroke of genius!
Manuel II is really a scumbag with no political consciousness at all. Sooner or later, such a person will be driven out of power by the republicans, or even die violently.
"Tch! That toad's level is very poor. He is not as good as my brother by an Atlantic Ocean.
As soon as my father came to his senses and wanted to help him, he killed two people. He couldn't help him even if he wanted to. "
As for Manuel II's political level, Helen was so shocked by the various operations he saw that she didn't know what to say.
“This guy was intimidated by the republicans as soon as he became king.
He was even worse than his father. At least Carlos I knew who he could trust, while Manuel II, who had been fed some ecstasy by the republicans, actually stayed away from the monarchists.
Not long after taking the throne, Manuel II dismissed the monarchist Joao Franco and his entire cabinet, and invited Admiral Amaral to form a cabinet with the Ennahda Party and the Progressive Party.
The monarchists were all furious with him, and the liberal republicans and socialists became even more arrogant and pressed on this idiot step by step.
Manuel II, this guy has no qualifications to be a king. He is so oppressed and still stays away from the monarchists. He is really stupid. "
"Ah! Is this something a king can do?"
Charlotte couldn't understand what Manuel II did.
"Being oppressed like this by the Republicans, even a fool knows how to use the power of the monarchists to check and balance them, but why is he relying more and more on hostile forces."
"Maybe I was frightened by the assassination by the Republicans, so I agreed to their request without any bottom line." Tangning expressed her point of view.
Tangning didn't know much about the Gotha royal family in Portugal. His girlfriend in his previous life was from a branch of the Miguel royal family in Bulacan. He was also a member of the Miguel royal family when he traveled back in time. He didn't know much about this royal family that had been cut off.
In the previous life, I heard my girlfriend Catherine complain by chance that Manuel II was a softie, a Stockholm patient, and a toy of the republicans.
"Brother's guess was correct. When Aunt Isabel went to see him, she found that there were republicans among his bodyguards.
This republican did not look like a guard at all. He always said some vague threats to him. With some hints from the guard, Manuel II quickly ended the meeting.
Manuel II, frightened by the republicans, was now a puppet on strings. "
From what family members said and from the news she watched, Helen discovered that Manuel II really had no opinion at all.
Stay away from the monarchists, stay close to the republicans, and trust them so much that you let them form a cabinet to lead the country without saying a word.
"Those republicans are not very good either. They fight for power all day long."
Helen looked down upon these people very much and did not see them at all. What was the way to truly benefit the Portuguese people?
This group of people kept arguing without actually taking any action. The only thing they had in common was that they kept bullying the king.
“The cabinet has been dissolved and reorganized three times, and the country is in chaos.
Faced with one after another troubles, those republicans blamed each other one by one. In the end, these guys were quite unanimous. As long as there was a mistake, they would all blame it on Manuel II.
Manuel II, this fool didn't know the explanation, he always obeyed, and he didn't ask for help. "
Manuel II was not without support. The domestic monarchists, the royal family of Miguel Braganza, and the same clan as the royal family of Britain, Bulgaria, and Gotha in Belgium were all sources of help.
In the final analysis, today's Europe is still dominated by monarchy. Even France has three royal families. If it were not for wrangling, they would have come to power long ago.
Helen finally asserted: "Manuel II is hopeless. The Kingdom of Portugal will perish in his hands before he returns home!"
"Well, sister, I agree with your judgment."
Of course Tang Lin knew that the fate of this good-for-nothing was exactly as Helen expected.
Next to the calendar is Manuel II, this loser who was king for two years and was deposed by a coup in 1910.
After stepping down, it was clear that with so much help, he could safely restore his power, but in the end, Manuel II, who was greedy for life and feared death, did not dare to take any action because of fear of retaliation.
France is an old revolutionary base, and the three royal families are operating openly and openly, and no one is seen cowarding the republicans.
The Portuguese republican forces were nothing compared to the French republican forces, so they only bullied Manuel II, a rare softie.
If there were several royal families in France, Orleans would be the last one. With Manuel in this situation, with so much help, the republicans would have been sieved long ago.
