King Saxony, deeply immersed in the infinite grief of his daughter's illness, still never forgot his historical mission. He sent someone to Poland to invite Count Koshiciusko to discuss the matter.

"Sorry, Anderger!" Friedrich August I apologized to Count Koshiciusko, "It was me who surrendered to the order of the French emperor once again and failed to take Maria to Paris. Just like when I refused to accept the Polish throne, I was afraid of being involved in the dispute between Austria, Prussia, and Russia over Polish territory, now..."

"Stop talking!" Koshiciusko stopped his old friend's confession and comforted him, "In Europe, few people can violate Napoleon's orders, especially the 500,000 troops behind him. You are still here, I am still here, Little Dercy is still here, and Poland is still here!"

This revolutionary leader, who had been committed to the Polish revival, traveled thousands of miles to Dresden, but he didn't come to listen to the nagging and blaming King Saxony.

Friedrich August I could, based on the interests of the Saxony Kingdom and its royal family, succumbed to the lewd power of Emperor Napoleon again and again.

However, General Koshiciusko, with a strong personality, would not. Although several Polish uprisings he led ended in failure, the revolutionaries never gave up their beliefs: to restore and revitalize Poland.

Now Koshiciusko must consider a difficult problem, when Princess Maria is critically ill, how to make Andrew Desai legitimately inherit the position of crown prince of the Grand Duchy of Warsaw.

On July 22, 1807, Napoleon signed the Constitution of the Principality of Warsaw in Dresden. According to the constitution, the Weiting Dynasty in Saxony was the hereditary dynasty of the Principality of Warsaw. According to the private agreement with the Saxony noble parliament, the position of King Saxony would be handed over to his younger brother, Anton, after August I.

As for the future crown prince of the Grand Duchy of Poland (kingdom), the Polish parliament will reach a compromise with August I after reaching a supporter, which will be the husband of men with Weiting family ancestry or women.

To be precise, the first article has been excluded from the right of succession of the Polish crown prince. Like Friedrich August I, the timid and afraid of trouble, no male member of the Weiting family was willing to take over the hot Polish throne. Not only ordinary Poles would object, but also three powerful evil neighbors, Prussians, Russians, and Austrians would be extremely angry.

So the second one is the only choice for the Polish crown prince. This is simply tailor-made for Andrew Desay. Because August I had only one daughter, Princess Maria, and only Andrew Desay, this son-in-law.

The troublesome problem now is that Princess Maria, who is seriously ill, will definitely not be able to adapt to the long-distance trip to Paris, and Derby Little is not willing to come to Dresden at all. Before that, he had refused the summons of his father-in-law, August I, several times.

King Saxony told the Polish Earl that the plump Duke of Hruna, perhaps the future Prince of Catalonia, seemed no longer willing to be awarded the title of Polish crown prince. Little Desay expressed his opinion many times in public places in Paris: the Duke of Desay always respected this political marriage between royal nobles, but he could only agree to marry him after Princess Maria recovered from health.

In private, Desai told his brother Duke Savari that he had no greed for the Polish throne, "like a person with normal mind and logical behavior, he would not choose to play on a crater that could erupt at any time."

The drunk Duke of Hruna even "spoken" to the police minister: If the emperor granted him the King of Catalonia, Desai would recommend the soon-to-be-born son (son of Napoleon and Madame Maria Valliveska) to the Polish parliamentary, to serve as the future Polish king.

Translated the argument of Desai into the original words of the ancient Chinese sage Mencius, "A gentleman does not stand under a dangerous wall."

No matter how vulgar or more blunt the explanation is that Desai is unwilling to act as the pitiful Polish king, sandwiched between the three European powers of Prussia, Russia and Austria. After 1814, he encountered the bad luck of being traitorous and divided by many strong men.

However, General Koshiciusko ignored the personal feelings of Dercy Little. In any case, Andrew Dercy must ascend the throne of Poland and accept the great historical responsibility of saving and reviving Poland.

Because in Warsaw a month ago, Koshichushko once again convinced General Zarongchev and General Vibitsky as the main representative of the left-wing Jacobins, who respected Andrew Desai, the grandson of the old Duke of Lubomiersky, as the future king of Poland, on the condition that he would release serfs, implement a constitutional monarchy, and work together to restore the Polish territory in 1772.

In addition, under the French army's takeover of the Free City, Gdansk and Koshiciuschko were guaranteed by the commander of the Legion in Prussia and Gdansk, Marshal Dau. He is currently the best commander of the empire, and secretly acquiesced General Koshiciuschko, who can secretly form and train a Polish cavalry with no more than 5,000 people in Gdansk in the name of the Desay Legion.

Because the strong, well-proportioned, fair-faced, and years of war never seemed to leave any traces on it, the marshal of the Empire, whose bald head was surrounded by curly hair, was very clear that since Tsar Alexander I refused the emperor's request for marriage, the preparations for the Russian war had been included in the emperor's schedule.

So, Koshiciusko, who was paying attention in his heart, told August I directly: "We should make a quick decision to hold a wedding for Andrew and Maria, a Catholic wedding in this palace!"

After learning of the horrifying statement from his old friend, King Saxony's "chondropathy" seemed to have started to occur again. He first drove away all the attendants in the room, closed the door tightly, and then tried his best to lower his voice, asking in an inauspicious trembling voice: "But Little Desay has never been willing to come to Dresden. Most of my subjects are Lutherans, I am worried..."

"Enough, my friend!" The Count interrupted the king's complaint with great rudeness. He stood up and walked back and forth on the light yellow carpet, and waved his arms impatiently from time to time, shouting rudely at the poor August I:

"My respectful Majesty, since 1792, it was because of your cowardice and concessions that the destruction of Poland had missed several opportunities for revival. Today, you must muster up the courage to make up for the wrong decisions before. There is no need for your concerns. According to the Polish tradition, I can attend the wedding as a young uncle, as a young man. As for the religious beliefs of your subjects, damn it, we are holding a wedding for the Catholic Poles, not Lutherans."

After venting the resentment in his heart, Koshiciuschko's tone should have eased a little. He continued: "In fact, before I came to the Kingdom of Saxony, I had exchanged views with the Archbishop of Warsaw, Vycinsky, who sent a regional bishop as the native priest of Dresden to come here with me. His only purpose is to give your daughter and son-in-law a wedding mass to prove God's blessing."

"Well, when will the wedding be held?" the king softened his attitude.

"Tomorrow, tomorrow!" The count decided to strike while the iron was hot, so as not to have too many dreams.

"But time is too tight, and the wedding will be more cumbersome!" asked King Saxony.

"My friend, you and your family are about to convert to Lutheran Protestantism in collectively. You should be clear that tomorrow is Good Friday. According to the Roman Catholic canon, if all believers get married during Good Friday and Advent, the ceremony should be simple!

...No Catholic Church? If I remember correctly, there is still a small Catholic church in your palace. Don't worry, the bishop priest who came from afar will not dislike the simple facilities of the church, as long as you send someone to clean it up today."

Koshiciuschko was prepared for August I's various doubts. Finally, August I was persuaded to agree with Koshiciuschko's "suggestion": on Good Friday, a Catholic wedding was held for his daughter lying on the hospital bed and his son-in-law far away in Paris under the witness of God's servant.

The next morning, Koshiciusko, who replaced Desai groom, entered the altar alone from the Sanctuary (the room next to the altar). There was no male servant during this period and was there any male guest involved.

Soon, the bride, with a delicate body and a sallow complexion in a wedding dress, Princess Maria supported her father's arms and wrists, slowly walked into the church under the gaze of her family. Then, she stood on the side of the groom's stand-in, waiting for the wedding mass to be held.

At this time, King Saxony and several viewers of the Wetin family sat on the left side of the church together. In fact, throughout the process, August I and Koshiciusko were carefully supporting the sick Princess Maria.

And the Catholic priest from Warsaw had kneeled down at the altar and then recited the "Ode to Glory": God is glorious in heaven, and the Lord loves peace in the world. Lord, God, the king in heaven...

The entire wedding was so short that it was only 12 minutes, and the priest's self-talk took most of the time.

Perhaps he really received God's blessing. From the beginning to the end, the bride's condition did not show any sign of it. Except for her still being weak in action and feeling a little tired in her spirit, Princess Maria did not even give off a cough.

The day after the wedding, Princess Maria's condition improved significantly. She actually spoke and asked the maid to come with some bread and cheese instead of the light-tasting porridge every day;

On the third day, Princess Maria began to get out of bed voluntarily. On the fifth day, she was able to take a walk in the garden with her maid;

A week later, the joint diagnosis of several imperial doctors stated that Princess Maria's condition was improving.

August I, who knew his daughter's condition, heard it and called out "Miracle! Miracle!"

However, according to Koshiciusko's suggestion, the Saxony royal family only announced the wedding ceremony of Princess Maria and Duke Desay to the outside world. Regarding the recent situation of Princess Maria in recovery, the Dresden Palace imposed an extremely strict news blockade.

If Fouchey was still the Imperial Police Minister, his group of omnipresent and highly efficient secret spies would have been able to detect the secrets in the Dresden palace in time. But to this day, the spy networks that Fouchey had worked hard to build over the past 10 years, and most of the spy networks throughout Europe were in the hands of Desai.

So, the emperor didn't know.
