Menshikov still looked at the furious Peter quietly.
He didn't speak.
Ekaterina next to her didn't speak either.
The guards naturally didn't speak.
At this time, Peter had completely lost his freedom, his own glory, and the prestige he had accumulated throughout his life. In the eyes of these people, he was already an old and dim being.
Peter is not a man without himself.
But he is really too old.
I really trust Menshikov too much.
In the end, it suffered unimaginable backlash.
It's time to die.
Menshikov is also very worried about the recent situation in Tsarist Russia. All this must be ended as soon as possible!
Peter, he really deserves to die.
As long as he is alive, Tsarist Russia will never be at peace.
After Menshikov began to take control of the entire St. Petersburg, his situation was actually in a precarious position. He did not dare to do anything excessive to those Peter's veterans.
Such as Osilev.
He can only suppress them temporarily and cannot show his ambition too much.
He wanted a united Tsarist Russia.
He wanted a powerful Tsarist Russia.
In fact, Menshikov did not show an excessive pursuit of power before. He liked money. His greed was more focused on money.
To reach this point today is entirely due to fate and circumstances.
He stood up and looked at Peter lightly.
Peter laughed wildly: "Are you going to take action? Can't you help it?"
Menshikov did not answer Peter, his lifelong brother.
He just said softly: "Ekaterina will become the new Empress of Tsarist Russia."
After saying this, he stood up and left here.
Those guards are still here looking at Peter.
For a while.
It seemed that only Peter and Ekaterina were left here.
Peter said nothing.
Because Yekaterina had already received a jug of wine from a maid next to her, a jug of wine that had been prepared long ago.
Peter knows.
My time has come.
This jug of wine was the thing that ended his life.
He looked at his wife again.
For a moment, he didn't know what to say.
Queen.
What a queen.
He laughed heartily, and finally picked up the glass of wine without hesitation and drank it down.
“Good wine!”
...
Peter died just like that.
The entire Tsarist Russia was enveloped in an atmosphere of despair.
Osilev and his people were crying and howling in the mansion.
These people are all members of this committee that Osilev gathered before. Let alone their current mood. When they were wearing masks before, they could still make excuses with Menshikov. But now
What? When they chose to side with Osilev, they already lost.
