是太长了点,摘段重要的。梅特涅妇人给丈夫的信:
3 January, 1810: Metternich's wife wrote to her husband:
"[T]he Empress entered [the room], and, having spoken to me of all the events that had happened to her, and of all that she had suffered, she said to me: 'I have a project that occupies me exclusively, and the success of which is the only thing that keeps me believing that the sacrifice I have just made will not be in vain; it is that the Emperor marries your archduchess; I spoke to him yesterday, and he said that his choice was not yet fixed, but, she added, I'm sure it would be, were he sure of being accepted by you [Austria].' I told her all I could to show her that, at least personally, I would consider such a marriage a moment of great happiness; but I could not stop myself from adding that, for an Austrian Archduchess, it could be terrible to have to settle in France."
Josephine added, as reported by Mme de Metternich, "Your Emperor must be made to understand that his ruin and that of his country is certain if he does not agree [to the marriage], and that it is also perhaps the only way to prevent a schism between the [French] Emperor and the Holy See."
看不出梅特涅给了约瑟芬什么好处。因为约瑟芬是连感情攻势加上恫吓(不联姻奥国没好果子吃)。 也不能说和俄国有仇,因为当时跟俄国的联姻已经黄了。只能说约瑟芬在大事上,还是深明大义的。 |
