Chapter 2 Political Marriage with the Emperor
I would like to ask readers and friends to recommend, collect, and click on "The Cannon King". If possible, Guanzi hopes to get more rewards, because during the period of the historical and military classification, the ranking of "The Cannon King" is still lagging behind. Thank you very much for your support!

In the delivery room, the warmth of the Desai family cannot be conveyed to the performance hall separated by a wall.
On the other side, many of the guests who were summoned were still standing in place, shocked by the passage that the Regent said before entering the bedroom: Desai has declared that the infant female grand duke is the heir to the United Kingdom of Catalonia, and the only heir!
Soon, the Catalonian cabinet officials and general nobles who woke up looked at each other, then they raised their arms and shouted together, "Salute to His Highness Isabel!" As subjects, these people must recognize and swear the authenticity and legality of the only law heir to the United Kingdom of Catalonia within the first time.
Nevertheless, some Catalan traditional nobles were slightly disappointed, after all, a male heir was much more beneficial than a female heir. These included Litisia's uncle, Baron Decha Sanlug, and her grandmother, the Marquis de Urquiho. In comparison, the emerging nobles of the kingdom seemed much more excited.
Cabinet Police Minister Jose Passel came to Prime Minister Sai and whispered: "Dear Marquis, you have come true!" The news about the Prime Minister's name of the kingdom's heir can naturally be hidden from the police minister with a keen sense of smell.
Say glared at Passel and retorted: "Your Excellency Viscount, you are always well-informed."
As early as the beginning of the new year in 1811, Desai had formulated corresponding titles and titles for the emerging nobles as the regent, and was awarded a title within a month after the birth of the kingdom's heir. Among them, Prime Minister Say and General Delney would be appointed as marquis. As the local relatives of Miss Litisia, Baron Descha Sanluge would also be awarded a noble title of marquis; and General Rusty and Barbanegel
General Desnuet, General Carls, Chief of Military Intelligence General Shener, Secretary of State Aldiah, Speaker of Parliament Holt and others were awarded the title of Earl; in addition, General Bonai, General Hugo, Secretary of Finance Tiffany, General Redes, Secretary of Police Passel, Minister of Ordnance Industry Ramos and others were promoted to Viscount... Even the Cabinet Secretary-General and Prime Minister's diplomatic assistant, former Italian bankrupt businessman, Casapa.
Anthony also reserved a baron title on the list prepared by the Regent because of Miss Litisia's special favor.
Prime Minister Say casually recruited a court attendant and ordered him to immediately release the news that the kingdom heir and Grand Duke Hruna Isabella, the successful birth of His Highness, in the name of the joint royal family and the Prime Minister's Cabinet to all subjects. In addition, within 10 minutes, the Big Ben of Our Lady of the Cathedral must be ringed just to celebrate the birth of this important historical moment.
After hearing the "Proclamation of the Hall" issued by Desai before the delivery room, Bishop Monvino, the special envoy of the Roman Catholic Church, was very satisfied. For the Roman Privy Council, which was jointly led by many cardinal archbishops, they did not care who would be the heir to this emerging kingdom. The only requirement was to ensure that the sacred Roman Catholic Church had an absolute monopoly position in the religious affairs of the United Kingdom of Catalonia.
"Well, Isabella is a good name, I like it very much!" The Holy See's envoy smiled, and then said to the Archbishop of Catalonia beside him: "A month later, when you baptize the noble crown prince in the Cathedral of Our Lady, I will also be there in person and pray to God to give Isabella the glory!"
As the Roman envoy, he was familiar with the history of Catholicism. More than 300 years ago, a Spanish queen named Isabella once founded the famous "Spanish Heresy Inquisition" to maintain the orthodoxy of the Catholic Church and punish heretics with cruel means. On March 31, 1492, Isabella and Ferdinand issued a decree to expel the Jews and Muslims in Spain...
"This is the honor of the kingdom! With time, His Highness Isabella will surely lead the secular subjects and recreate the former glory of the Catholic Church in the Iberis Peninsula!" Archbishop Felipe replied with an extremely respectful expression to Bishop Monvino.
As for the heart, the Archbishop of Catalonia was vilifying the arrogant, stupid, and greedy Catholic borer. When Prince Desai resolutely appointed Felipe as the baptist priest, rather than Bishop Monvino from the Roman Catholic Church, the damn Roman bastard did not dare to be angry at the prestigious Regent, but came to curse Felipe, wishing to eat it alive. He even threatened to expose Archbishop Felipe to the Roman Privy Council for false behavior and sympathy for heresy.
Unlike the reaction of the Holy See's special envoy, the two ministers from Madrid and Paris seemed indignant. The former was a little worried after hearing that the female grandfather received the name "Isabella", which seemed to imply the vigorous ambitions of Desai and his heirs for the whole of Spain. As the monarch, Queen Isabella was a magnificent and generous, not only ending the Arab rule in the Iberian Peninsula, but also completing the great cause of Spanish unification that the monarchs had dreamed of, and laid the foundation for the territory of Spain in the world.
The reason why the French ambassador Aristide was not satisfied with the name "Isabella" was not only for Desai's intention to involve the entire Spain, but also jealous of the "good luck guy" who had the power of monarchy with the help of his father; he hated Desai's arrogance, and after returning to Manresa, he repeatedly neglected the diplomatic envoy representing Emperor Napoleon in public; he hated Desai's stinginess, and as the plenipotent minister of a powerful empire, after coming to Catalonia, he failed to receive a few francs of political bribes...
Of course, Aristide did not dare to act in person with the title of French Marshal. That would greatly offend the powerful emperor and arouse the disgust of many marshals and generals, even if he represented the emperor himself.
"Isabella?! Hehe, a very good name, I will give a detailed report to His Majesty the Emperor!" Thinking of this, Aristid pulled the Spanish minister who was following him and left the Manresa Palace together. They decided to write a letter together, preparing to report all this to the two monarchs in Paris and Madrid, especially the obvious rebellious ambitions of Marshal Desai.
...
After winning "Isabella", Andrew Desay increasingly ignored the important military and political affairs of the kingdom. He stayed with his mother and daughter all day long in the palace, bathroom, amusement room and back garden of the palace, as if he wanted to be completely separated from the outside world.
Three days later, it was not until the Prime Minister and the Police Minister arrived that the Regent was invited out of the bathroom room. Previously, Desai was accompanying Lydia to bathe Isabella in a custom-made baby bathtub, which also serves as a parent-child game. During this period, the Regent's gentle and skillful baby care techniques amazed all the female court officials present.
Walking out of the bathroom Buddha, Desai took the towel handed by the servant on the side. While he casually wiped the water droplets that had splashed on his body, he asked casually to the two cabinet officials: Oh, "What major happened again? I didn't explain it long ago. Unless a war breaks out unexpectedly, all matters will be handled by you collectively!"
Say signaled Passel to come forward and stated, and the latter said with a serious expression: "Your Highness, if this matter is handled improperly, a crisis will indeed break out in the diplomatic incident of the entire kingdom. This is by no means an exaggeration!"
Seeing the two of them doing their own things, Desai nodded and walked into the study guards guarded without saying a word, covering the room.
The police minister continued the topic just now and continued: "This morning, my man had just intercepted a letter sent to the Palace of Duille by French Minister Aristide and wrote to Emperor Napoleon." As he said this, Passel took out a copy of the secret letter from his arms and wanted to hand it to the Regent to browse it himself.
Desai waved his hand and asked the police minister Passel to finish everything in one breath.
The Police Minister said: "In the letter, Minister Aristide accused you and your kingdom of trying to annex Spain and the entire Iberian Peninsula, and to conclude illegal agreements with the British to secretly organize the European anti-emperor alliance."
Desai frowned and asked, "Damn Aristide, Is there any direct evidence?"
Prime Minister Sai said a little embarrassedly: "No, but your declaration in the showroom gave Emperor Napoleon a suspicious excuse. To be precise, it was His Highness Isabella's name that made Madrid and Paris deeply uneasy. I believe that King Joseph would not have any favors for this."
Desai did not notice the Prime Minister's embarrassing expression, but instead smiled, then threw away the towel in his hand, returned to his exclusive position, and smiled and said, "Oh, this is this little thing. Don't worry, go back, I have made arrangements."
"What arrangement?" Prime Minister Say asked in unison with the Minister of Police.
"It's very simple, marriage. Gentlemen, political marriage with the imperial emperor!"
"But, Your Highness, how do you know that Queen Louise will give birth to a male heir for the emperor?" Say shook his head.
"Yes, not to mention that the marriage partner of the heirs of the French Empire is the first choice for powerful countries such as Ollity and Russia, followed by Germany and other countries. They will not be with..." Passel said this and felt that he was careless and did not dare to continue talking.
However, Desai could hear the meaning of the words very clearly. Napoleon and his queen would not let Napoleon II, who had not yet been born, marry Isabella little, because Catalonia was too small and too weak to be able to reach the emperor's eyes.
"Two, don't forget, the Emperor's Polish lover, Countess Maria Valefska, gave birth to His Majesty a son named Alexander in Paris last year!" Desai pointed out his true intention.
Alexander's full name is Alexander Kolona Valevsky. He is Napoleon's most outstanding son, good at communicating and speaking. In another parallel world, he once served as the foreign minister of the Second French Empire.
Through the political marriage between Isabella and Alexander, Cataloniatu's ambition to pursue the entire Iberis Peninsula in the future will no longer arouse Napoleon's own disgust, and even secretly support it. Although he is an illegitimate son, he is also Napoleon's own biological son, much closer to the incredible brother Joseph in Madrid, and Alexander little.
In addition, after Alexander and Isabella joined forces, he became half of the nominal master of the United Kingdom of Catalonia, which greatly reduced Napoleon's influence exerted on Poland. After all, the emperor personally promised the Polish lady that after their illegitimate son grew up, he became the hereditary monarch of the Kingdom of Poland, which only allowed the lucky Desai to steal the first prize.
"Your wisdom is unparalleled and illuminates the dark night sky of the Mediterranean!" After hearing the Regent's sudden idea, the police minister Passel quickly stepped forward and flattered him to make up for the loopholes in his previous words.
"However, there is another small question, is whether Mrs. Litisia agrees?" Prime Minister Say asked cautiously.
