The face of the members of the upper and lower houses was wiped out and the shameless people were severely punished. The Grand Duke Desai who walked out of the parliament felt refreshed and unhappy. When he returned to the carriage, Grand Duke Maria saw her husband with a happy face.

"Are you not worried about the anger from the emperor?" After asking the reason, his wife asked with concern.

Napoleon had tax officials in various vassal states under the French Empire, intending to exploit the wealth of the country and the people as the main source of French military supplies and food, and the Kingdom of Saxony was no exception. Maria clearly remembered that every time the palace of Dresden held a banquet and a dance, even the father would treat each other well, and many nobles would greet each other with a smile, although everyone was so angry that their teeth were bitten.

"So, I took that guy to the military court in Gdansk for the purpose of assassinating the Imperial Marshal!" Desai said proudly, "As for Paris, they care about the taxes that are Polish allies, which gives the noble MPs a headache."

A month later, Colonel Arif was tried in the military court in Gdansk. Although a fair judge found that he was not guilty of assassinating Marshal Desay, the criminal fact that the tax officer was arrogant, fed his own pockets and accepted bribes was reported to the Paris Ministry of Finance by his many assistants, and was eventually demoted and exiled to a French island colony in the Atlantic Ocean.

Desai would not pay more attention to small figures like Colonel Arif, but the chairman of the Finance Committee of the Lower House of Parliament, Earl Secchiak, was very anxious because the new tax officer sent by Paris issued an ultimatum: requiring the Duchy of Warsaw to collect up to 8 million zloty taxes by the end of 1811, and also to pursue a fine of 2 million zloty.

At the same time, the big money owners of the Principal of Warsaw, those bloodthirsty financial greeds - the bankers and usury merchants of the Paris Bankers and loan sharks, were instigated by the Jewish consortium headed by the Rothschild family, refused to provide political loans to the Principal of Warsaw, even if Count Sechiak promised to pay as much as 20% of the high interest rate per year and take out rich mines and agricultural products as collateral.

Finally, the desperate chairman of the Finance Committee, with the suggestion of a person, sought help from the Grand Duke of Warsaw, hoping to get financial assistance from the Mediterranean Bank. But at that time, Desai had announced that he had left Warsaw and went to Krakow and other places for a national inspection.

...

After a big and small episode, the parade of the coronation ceremony of the Grand Duke of Warsaw continued.

At this time, St. John's Cathedral, guided by a priest holding a cross in his hand, Warsaw Archbishop Vycinsky, who had already put on a red religious dress, walked out of the carriage and walked slowly into the main entrance of the church with sacred religious dignity. The people present were silent. When the archbishop in red passed by himself, the women all knelt down and the men took their hats one after another.

Time flies, but the parade of the monarch Aner was not delayed, which made the guests wait almost 30 minutes with the Archbishop of Warsaw. Desay ordered the servants to change into closed carriages with carriage ceilings in case someone was assassinated. The tragedy that the travelers were unwilling to take place in Sarajevo happened in Warsaw.

In fact, Desai's worries were redundant, and the security measures for the ceremonial parade seemed very strict. There were rows of soldiers on both sides of the road, with military police and various spies mixed among the crowd watching the ceremony. In addition, there was a fully armed cavalry regiment in front and behind the carriage. Following Desai's carriage closely was a loyal guard camp and a brave and warlike guard brigade.

Finally, I heard the report from the messenger that the Grand Duke's carriage was about to arrive. At the same time, the guests of the viewing ceremony walked to the big mirror to sort out their clothes. The man put on a beautiful shawl, and the lady tried hard to make up for the powder on her face. At this time, there was a sudden burst of people outside, and the shouts were like thunder, moving from afar, getting louder and louder, almost crazy: "Here, come, the Grand Duke is here!"

First, the guards and commanders in gold uniforms, holding the golden bee stick in their hands, and the momentum was so spectacular that it made people dizzy and stammering. The golden carriages were one after another, each with six good horses. The guards first jumped out of the first car, and the entourages of the Grand Duke Desay and the Grand Duke Maria got off the carriage from the second. The officers and attendants also jumped off the horse or came out of the carriage. They instinctively lined up the line with the guests who went out to greet them.

The grand duke and his wife walked to a large glass and looked at their respective appearances.

Then, Desai lifted up the gloves embroidered with gold thread, smiled and told Count Valeski, who was walking in front of him, in a state of spirit and other places: "If everything is ready, then start now!"

The horn sounded everywhere, and the gentleman in a blue velvet robe and a black hat with white feathers, and

The Grand Master of Celebrity in light purple costumes was extremely solemn and slowly walked into St. John's Cathedral; Desay and Maria followed slowly; behind them were a mighty army officer; the last few court ladies were sticking brocade mats with rings, or crowns, veils and other accessories belonging to the Grand Princess.

As he walked into the church, the sound of the organ was melodiously floating in the air, and the air was filled with swaying cigarettes. At this time, the organ played the national anthem, Desai left Maria and stepped forward alone. He approached the altar and waited for the start of the mass presided over by the Archbishop of Warsaw.

The sound of the organ stopped abruptly, Archbishop Vysinsky solemnly read the blessings, and then he slowly held the crown high. Just when everyone thought that the Archbishop was going to put the crown on the head of Grand Duke Desai, the Archbishop unexpectedly put the crown down on the altar and said solemnly: "According to the will of the Lord, God's favorite must wear the crown on his own!"

The monarchists and the Jacobins were excited about this, and many liberal nobles who were inclined to Desai expressed their happiness. They knew that the Catholic sects with high reputation and great power in Poland told the world in this way that they would strive to support Andrew Desai as the supreme monarch of the country, because he was the darling of the selected and blessed God of the omnipotent God.

Mavakhovsky and others frowned. Although the nobles knew that the grandfather of the Grand Duke Desay had had close friends with Archbishop Vysinsky, the entire Catholic Church would not have been like this. It rushed to reach an alliance with Desay, and even volunteered to act as subordinates. Because this would greatly change the political map of the Duchy of Warsaw or the future Poland, which was very unfavorable to the nobles.

Today, the monarch of the Duchy of Warsaw, not only has the respectful identity of the Imperial Field Marshal, but also has the support of diplomatic missions from various countries, as well as the support of the Catalan army and the Mediterranean Commercial Bank, and cooperates with the support of Rome and Polish Catholicism. The power and resources he holds are far higher than that of Vadislaw IV in that year.

In conjunction with the tough statements of the Grand Duke Desai in the upper house of the parliament, some flexible aristocratic members' positions were slowly shaken. Instead of fighting for life and death with the monarch in front of them for a little profit, it is better to unite together or take the initiative to submit to the past. Under the command of the wise commander, they use swords as iron plows to fight for the revived Poland and the interests of their own family.

Just when everyone on the scene was extremely shocked, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth. He nodded to Archbishop Vinsky, grabbed the crown with both hands, paused in the air, and then placed it firmly on his head. If the diplomatic ministers remember correctly, this was the second monarch to imitate after Napoleon's self-crowned.

But there is a huge difference between the two. Napoleon seized the crown from the pope for no reason, which seriously violated the traditional coronation ceremony; while Desai followed the instructions of the Archbishop who presided over the ceremony, followed God's will, picked up the crown from the altar and wore it on his head.

The organ sounds rise again, and the holy music is spreading melodiously.

When the imperially appointed Grand Emcee, Earl Valeski carefully added a purple robe to the shoulders of the Grand Duke Desay, the young monarch turned around again. He took the crown of the Grand Duke from Archbishop Vinsky, smiled, and gently added the crown to the head of the Grand Duke Maria who had already taken the step forward, kneeling on the ground, and kissed his wife's cheek in public.

The last step was that the Speaker of the House of Lords, Duke Colin, stood staggeringly in front of the Grand Duke of Warsaw, and read a volume of official documents in a speechless manner. According to the agreement, Desai must stick one hand on the Bible, and the other hand raised high in public, one sentence after another, repeating the oath:

"I, Andrew Desai, ascended the throne in accordance with the common demands of the Senate, the people and the army. My heart is filled with feelings for the fate of our people. I want to say that my only happiness and pain are closely related to the happiness and pain of the people...

My descendants will inherit this throne for a long time. They will always maintain a high degree of vigilance in order to defend the dignity of our laws and protect our social stability from infringement due to the ineffective rule of the king.

I hereby make a solemn oath: to defend the national national integrity under the guidance of God; to respect and improve the law and freedom of belief; to respect equal rights, political and civil freedom, and the sacredness of national property; except for the donations and taxes stipulated by the law, all other harsh and miscellaneous taxes will be reduced... to safeguard the interests of the people, happiness and glory are the foundation of governing the country."

After taking the oath, the messenger loudly announced that Desai had officially ascended the throne, and the people shouted: "Long live the Grand Duke, long live Poland!"

While the Grand Duke of Warsaw was taking a solemn oath, outside the Cathedral of St. John, the bells of all churches in Warsaw were ringing, and the sound of salutes was deafening. The gatherings shouted loudly in the squares and streets, so that other sounds, including the performance of the organ, were completely submerged. The foundation of the ancient medieval buildings that had experienced vicissitudes was trembling among the bells, salutes and cheers.
