Solovyov in Tsarist Russia 1796.

Chapter 481 058 Some people give out medals, and some people return them
Queen Louise was leaning against the head of the bed, trying hard to stay awake and talk to Solovyov.

She did not suffer any injustice from Napoleon today. On the contrary, this French emperor of humble origin, whom she had despised in the past, was very courteous to her.

Even if he wanted her body, there would always be a process, and this kind of thing sounded a little too ridiculous.

With their current status, having a lover would usually lead to a downward trend. In fact, the situation of Solovyov and Louisa is more normal.

Even if she is Louis XIII's wife, if she really wants to find a lover, the Duke of Buckingham's identity is too sensitive, and the bishop may also take some necessary measures.

But it was her husband's behavior that really broke her heart.

At this time, the doctor is not here, and she also wants to find someone to talk to.

Her heart felt so cold.

"Baron, what do you think of my performance today?"

"It can be said that as a queen, no one in this era can do better than you. It is rare for even men to stand up in times of crisis. If you were not born in Mecklenburg-Strelitz, you might be more suitable. That's what I mean. Please don't be surprised."

"This kind of praise is a burden at this moment. The life I had before can never come back. Thank you, Baron, for at least being able to comfort me."

Having said that, Queen Louise also felt tired, so she leaned against the head of the bed with her arm still on Solovyov. After all, she was taking Solovyov's pulse and talking at the same time.

By the way, the queen's hands and feet are really beautiful. She has a plump figure, but her limbs look very coordinated.

"No wonder my uncle, the emperor, had a different look in his eyes when he saw you."

"But you attendants and generals, even if you are foreigners, please do not spread such rumors."

"Your Highness, your reputation is still very important. Because you are the queen, you can't be like... Men have some advantages in this regard. Among the noble ladies, the monarch's spouse is subject to the most restrictions."

Having said that, Queen Louise thought of her sister Frederica, who first became a widow and then married a little duke while pregnant.

Later, she would remarry after her husband died.
Louise is different. Her husband is a king, but he is rather cowardly and is particularly concerned about such rumors.

If Solovyov had not been good at using herbal medicine, his identity as Napoleon's adopted nephew would have been enough to make the Prussian king jealous.

Who knows if he is a pimp for his uncle?
What this means is that even if Solovyov himself wanted to be close to the queen, it would be unlikely for him to be a pimp for his uncle, after all, his relatives were on Josephine's side.

You can't cause trouble for your aunt, right?
In this regard, his position is similar to that of Eugene. He even complained that French men came to Poland and were conquered by Polish women because of their simple and peaceful nature.

Of course, after Queen Louise took the decoction and took a dose, she was not cured immediately, but she felt much better.

"Thank you, Baron. I didn't expect your herbs to be more useful at a time like this."

"If you need it, Your Highness, you can send people to Moscow and St. Petersburg to purchase. After all, we have sufficient supply here. The more precious herbs are picked and imported from places in China and North America that are suitable for growing medicinal herbs."

"No wonder I heard from August that your queen has always been in poor health, but after giving birth, her complexion has improved a lot."

Fortunately, Solovyov was paying attention to the queen's pulse at the moment, instead of looking at her and exposing his target.

Otherwise, given the queen's gossipy level, as long as she could guess it, there's no telling whether it would spread later.

You know, although Louisa had a lover, he had always kept it secret, and Alexander pretended not to know, and even pointed in the wrong direction during the investigation.

No matter how hard you think about it, you can't imagine that such a loyal Solovyov could do such an unspeakable thing.

Even if Alexander suspected that he had an affair with Maria, or even his most doted sister Catherine, he would not think of bringing it up with his wife.

"Ah, that's right, because Her Highness Elizabeth Alexeyevna is indeed taking care of her health, but these medicines for health care are the most useful."

As for Prince August, he has always been the protagonist of some European sex scandals. There may be other rumors in the future that may be related to him.

We have to thank him. Madame Recamier in St. Petersburg can actually provide a lot of information related to Paris. Even if it is outdated, it can be used to analyze the political ecology of Paris.

Who made her have General Moreau and Napoleon's brother Lucien around her, and be able to find out a lot about the banking circle?
"I want to visit St. Petersburg after a while. After all, Elena and I have a very deep friendship. The people of Berlin love her just as much as they love me."

"Are you really going to Petersburg?"

"Why not? I think my husband. He might..."

At this point Queen Louise began to cry again, this time she was deeply heartbroken.

Although Alexander's new royal physician may have learned too much bloodletting therapy when he was young, his basic skills were still good enough.

The reason why Queen Louise fell ill was not just because she was caught in the rain, but because she was very sad.

"Don't think like that. Think more about the children, like Princess Charlotte."

Speaking of this, Queen Louise also knew that Solovyov was the teacher of Grand Duke Nicholas and had some say in the court.

Saying this at this time should be because something has been revealed before.

"You are thinking about your students, right?"

"Yes, Nicholas is still young, but I think if you go to Petersburg, you will probably understand why I said that. When Her Highness Maria was chatting with me once, she also praised the princess for being smart and sensible."

The relationship between Maria and Solovyov has always been rather delicate. If we say they are ambiguous, the latter can never avoid this young lady. If we say they are just ordinary friends, it would be too close. After all, among the young officers he knows in the palace, there are relatively few who are as capable as he is.

Moreover, some special talents, such as music and poetry, could impress Maria, which was a special bonus. Other officers of the Guards, except for Davydov who was an outstanding poet, were more or less lame in publishing poetry. It was Pushkin who was still a child at the Tsarskoye Selo Preparatory School, otherwise he might be more popular.

"If that's the case, I'd like to go to Petersburg and meet your students."

"His Highness Nicholas is just young, otherwise the girls in Petersburg would be crazy about him."

Compared to the fluctuating academic performance caused by not studying hard and always thinking about training, Nikola's handsome appearance is more durable. He is no longer the bald image of middle-aged and elderly people.

Having said this, the queen herself was quite satisfied. She asked Solovyov again, that is, Alexander’s previous statement was very important.

He agreed to contact Prussia and might consider choosing Princess Charlotte for marriage in the future. However, Nicholas was still young and it would take a few years before this issue could be brought to the table.

Finding a wife for an 11-year-old child is actually not a big deal, except that Louis XV was anxious to get married because his Bourbon family almost died out.

That was how it happened. Solovyov could finally finish his mission for the day and go back to sleep.

By the next few days, after the peace treaty was signed, Prussia was already in a miserable state, and King FW had to put on a forced smile and attend a series of receptions.

Queen Louise's illness came at a very timely moment. Fortunately, the king needed to experience the same pressure that the queen had felt, and how intense it was.

Alexander also mediated and at least preserved the most basic base for Prussia, but this also brought the situation back to the time before Frederick invaded Silesia, which was bad enough.

But peace is always better than war.

At this time, Alexander also proposed to Napoleon that they award various medals to each other's important personnel.

Napoleon also agreed to this aspect.

The main award that France gave to Russia was the Legion of Honor. Alexander naturally received the highest level medal, and the generals below and even a Guards soldier who showed bravery in battle also received this award.

The medals awarded by Russia to France, from the Order of Saint Andrew the Apostle to the Order of Alexander Nevsky, still exist.

King Prussia will also award the highest level medals to the monarchs of both sides, and naturally the generals below will also be awarded as well.

Solovyov had nothing to do here today, just following Alexander, and he also received a third-class commander's medal of the Legion of Honor.
Although he was just a "young general", his performance in the war was indeed very impressive and it was hard not to attract the attention of the French.

What's more, he is actually a relative of the emperor.

Even Napoleon promised that after returning to Paris, he would grant Baron Sergei the corresponding title and honors.

A Russian nobleman was awarded the title of count in the French Empire because of his capable wife and son. Although it sounds abstract, it is not surprising considering that abstract art is a joint work of France and Russia.

As for the medals awarded by Prussia, Solovyov had previously won the Order of the Red Eagle, so this time he could only receive the Blue Order. Prussia doesn't even have a medal for soldiers, so low-ranking officers often can't get one. Perhaps the highest reward is still death in action.
It is still quite funny to think that in the future there will be German officers who will engage in written and verbal lawsuits over winning a medal.

Moreover, this medal had to be hung around the neck, and Frederick William III also wanted to decorate it with an oak leaf.

Considering that he is often seen wearing a monocle and holding a small whip in the General Staff, it turns out that all the German leaders are in Russia.

But this generally doesn't happen in public. You can consider this issue after you are promoted to lieutenant general.

The problem now is that Solovyov's merits are almost enough to meet the standards of lieutenant general, but he was only promoted to major general at the beginning of this year. Even if Paul was still there, the impact of the fast promotion channel would have to be considered.

Many of the generals who were promoted from middle and lower-level officers within a few years had mediocre prospects. In the military, seniority is the basis for promotion, and if you don't have a good background, you will not succeed.

At this time, there should have been peace, and the monarchs of France and Russia temporarily ended the hostility on the European continent.

However, there are always people who will perform performance art at this time. Even when he just arrived at Jelgava, Alexander was already angry.

"Gustave, how dare he do this?"

"Your Majesty, we signed a peace treaty with the French emperor in Tilsit and formed an alliance. Gustav IV expressed strong dissatisfaction with this and returned the Order of Saint Andrew the Apostle that was previously awarded to him."

When saying this, Badberg was still very attentive to Alexander's emotions. He rarely showed them, and usually let people around him guess his attitude.

But Gustav IV was, after all, his brother-in-law, and the two families were cousins. Logically, they should have a close relationship. Even if the countries were hostile, interactions between monarchs should still proceed normally.

However, when Gustav IV's father, Gustav III, was alive, he deliberately made enemies with Russia and even triggered the Russo-Swedish War. Alexander was still a child at that time and had a deep impression of this incident.

Gustav IV was a man who walked in a minefield. He broke off his engagement and almost prevented his sister Alexandra from getting married. He then provoked Russia on several occasions on bilateral issues.

Now that he heard about the Franco-Russian peace talks, he turned on his crazy mode and directly returned the medal awarded by Russia in protest, which can be said to be a serious diplomatic insult.

But what Alexander is more concerned about now is the attitude of the British. If Russia joins the Continental Blockade, the impact on Britain may only be the loss of a huge market. Britain has many places to choose from for raw material supplies, and as long as it controls the sea, it can do whatever it wants.

But the British had not yet jumped out, and Sweden, which was closer, was the first to speak out, which really made him very dissatisfied.

If necessary, Alexander even wanted to send troops to teach Gustav IV a lesson.

Solovyov was listening at the side and knew that this was a good opportunity to make military achievements. After all, he had been to Sweden when he was on a staff trip.

As for the situation in Sweden, he had some understanding as he had escorted Alexander's father-in-law back to the European continent.

Besides, fighting the Swedes is always more profitable than gaining experience packs from Türkiye.
