The process of the "five-nation conference" in Vienna is getting slower and slower. With the support of triple alliance, the price of Prussia is always rejected by the increasingly tough attitude of Castlereagh, metternich and talleyrand. Russia seems to have shown a flexible attitude after landing in Poland. Under the instigation of talleyrand, the kingdom of Saxony became more and more obviously inclined to France, and other principalities also condemned Prussia's ambitions. If this situation continues, Prussia will definitely become a loner ... talleyrand's procrastination tactics.
Talleyrand is generally regarded as an upright person, who does not engage in any transactions and upholds orthodox principles in the Viennese media. However, people are wrong again. Talleyrand's greed for money has not diminished. He made a private deal with the king of Saxony, accepting a bribe of 5 million gold francs from the king on the condition that "I will fight for the land for you". He can't take King ferdinand iv of Naples as a thank-you for talleyrand's efforts to mobilize the Bourbon Dynasty to ascend to the throne, and he also bribed two million gold francs privately ... In fact, these are all French established policies, and talleyrand belongs to his own name to extort money from other countries. 1865438+At 7: 00 on March 2005, Napoleon fled the island of Elba and returned to Paris. The Bourbon dynasty was scared away and Napoleon came back to power.
/kloc-In June of 0/8, the seventh anti-French coalition forces such as Britain, Russia, Belgium and Austria defeated Napoleon in the Battle of Waterloo, Belgium, and Napoleon's "one hundred days in power" came to an end. Napoleon was exiled to an island in the Atlantic Ocean. Talleyrand was appointed Prime Minister by Louis Stanislas Xavier, who ascended the throne again.
The Vienna Conference not only made talleyrand famous, but also paid bribes. Since then, he has lived with Dorothy in a semi-public way. Mrs Glen was so angry that she officially separated from talleyrand.
Due to the failure of Napoleon's "Hundred Days" comeback, France once again became a defeated country. The second Paris Peace Treaty forced France to lose part of the east bank of the Rhine, pay 700 million francs in state reparations and 240 million francs in private reparations, and return the artworks plundered from other countries. Prussia's appetite was not satisfied at the Vienna Conference, so he took the opportunity of signing the peace treaty for the second time and put forward the slogan of "weakening France forever". Talleyrand once again resisted the "orthodox principle" and urged Britain, Austria and Russia to stick to it. Britain and Austria were dissatisfied with Prussia. Russia didn't want Prussia to be stronger, so it stood up and supported talleyrand. Prussia's greater appetite finally failed, and the French border before 1790 was finally saved, thanks to talleyrand.
Talleyrand clearly realized that the feudal autocracy of Bourbon Dynasty had lost its social foundation in France, where the bourgeoisie was becoming increasingly powerful. The French bourgeoisie and the general public supported Napoleon to sweep away the feudal autocracy. Talleyrand once again draws a design that conforms to the trend from sober analysis; Try to preserve and maintain the original things of the French bourgeoisie and leave a way out for yourself. Therefore, Prime Minister talleyrand secretly appointed a number of old feathers from the Napoleonic period in the cabinet and important government agencies. Even when Louis Stanislas Xavier slaughtered and cleaned political and military figures implicated in the bourgeois revolution and Napoleon, talleyrand resolutely opposed it. On September 24th, talleyrand resigned to protest the bloody and terrible slaughter and cleansing. Louis Stanislas Xavier gave a logical conclusion to let the lame man who was disloyal to himself step down.
Greed for money and indifference to shame drove talleyrand, 63, to start making money again. 18 17 1, talleyrand wrote to Austrian Prime Minister and Foreign Minister metternich, saying that he could sell some documents signed by Napoleon, which he stole from the National Archives. Metternich was so happy that he bought 832 documents with 500,000 francs, but he was surprised afterwards because only 73 were signed by Napoleon.
1824, French king Louis Stanislas Xavier died. Louis Stanislas Xavier's brother Charles X succeeded to the throne. Charles X was more feudal and autocratic. 1830 On July 25th, he announced the dissolution of parliament, deprived citizens of the right to vote, and established that only nobles could participate in the political life of the country. ...
At this time, talleyrand, who had secretly contacted the leading figures of the bourgeoisie, found that Louis Philippe, Duke of Orleans, was closely related to the bourgeoisie although he was in court. Talleyrand immediately made a shrewd judgment. He was an ideal agent for the bourgeoisie to seize power. So, he also secretly approached Louis Philippe. Louis Philippe respected talleyrand, a politician with diplomatic experience, and often invited a group of bourgeois bigwigs to private houses in talleyrand for secret meetings to discuss state affairs and explore ways to regain power.
Due to the feudal tyranny of Charles X and Prime Minister Porini Jacques, the Parisian people, known as the tradition of armed uprising against autocracy, launched an armed uprising on July 29th and occupied the Tuileries Palace. Talleyrand immediately wrote to Louis Philippe: "God-given opportunity, this is the best time for you to seize the throne ..."
Charles X was forced to abdicate in the uprising, handed over power to his little grandson, the Grand Duke of Bordeaux, and appointed Louis Philippe as the "guardian" to assist the Grand Duke of Bordeaux in ruling. Louis Philippe couldn't make up his mind about "assisting the ruling" and "directly grabbing the throne", so he sent someone with a secret letter to consult his respected talleyrand. Talleyrand has never been so decisive. He informed Louis Philippe: "Don't hesitate, the French people are watching you put on the crown at once ..."
On August 9th, Louis Philippe declared himself king of France on the basis of the "July Revolution" in France and with the support of the big commercial and financial bourgeoisie, and the Bourbon dynasty ended. Talleyrand played an important role in the struggle to bury the French feudal monarch.
