Who would have thought that Menshikov could be so tough?
The whole St. Petersburg has such an atmosphere.
Peter is dead?
What should Tsarist Russia do?
Soon, Catherine, with the support of Menshikov and the Guards, was crowned Empress of Tsarist Russia.
Everyone knows this is a conspiracy, but no one has the ability to overturn it.
In terms of succession to the throne, because Peter II was still young, Catherine could only temporarily serve as the queen. As a result, this relatively legendary woman truly reached the pinnacle of power in Tsarist Russia. Catherine
Na, the daughter of a peasant from Poland and Lithuania, became a prisoner of the Tsarist Russian army near Marienpol during the Great Northern War, and became Menshikov's military prostitute lover, and finally got the favor of Peter I.
pet.
This can be regarded as a counterattack by a small person. If it were in orthodox Europe, this kind of thing would not be possible.
But in Tsarist Russia, where barbarism grew, it was achievable.
Of course, all this is also based on the fact that Peter II will be regarded as the crown prince.
Yekaterina's appearance on the stage also showed that Menshikov could continue his arrogance. As regent, he began to control the political affairs of Tsarist Russia. Tsarist Russia officially entered the period of Menshikov's dark rule.
Butu Forest City.
The city Menshikov dreamed of. Even before Peter died, he had been coveting this beautiful city.
When Catherine really came to power, she would naturally not be stingy and reward her lover with this city.
Menshikov's mansion in Butulin City once again takes luxury to the extreme.
In the past few days, there has been singing and dancing here and it has never stopped.
"Hahahaha, congratulations to the Regent!"
"Prince Regent!"
"Prince Regent!"
Menshikov seemed to be the actual controller of the entire Tsarist Russia. He accepted everyone's congratulations and laughed loudly: "Let's be happy together, be happy together! Let's dance!"
The dancers began their graceful and colorful performances.
The smell of vodka filled the entire place.
Menshikov pretended to be sad about the death of his brother, Peter, and then sighed deeply: "What a pity, the empire is still in turmoil at this time, and those blind things are still causing trouble! We must find a way
, He holds great power!"
A group of people looked at each other.
How easy is it to hold great power?
Although Menshikov is now the regent, he still cannot be too presumptuous.
He didn't even dare to stay in St. Petersburg, so he had to come to this city.
The pinnacle of power!
Menshikov, who had never considered the pinnacle of power before, now began to long for it.
But in Tsarist Russia, with his status, it was too difficult to reach the peak of power.
Yekaterina was not born into a noble family. She could become the queen, but it was just a transition. But for a person of Menshikov's status, even if it was a transition, it would not be his turn.
Someone in the audience naturally guessed what Menshikov was thinking, stood up, and said with a smile: "Your Majesty the Regent, in fact, if you want to ascend the throne, it is not difficult."
"oh?"
Menshikov laughed.
The people present were all his own, so he didn't mind this topic.
The man laughed and said: "If you want to be an emperor, it is nothing more than identity and blood! My suggestion is... You can have someone create your own family tree. This is the first step.
The second step, currency reform, starts from Neverland City! The third step, haha, since we have decided to support Petrovich, then why...not marry your lord's daughter to him as his wife?
?”
Menshikov became excited when he heard this.
Each of these methods hits the target!
Due to blood relationship, he needs a noble background and someone who can inherit the throne!
This is not difficult, just follow what others say, three people will make a tiger, he just needs to find someone to do it.
Currency reform, of course, also represented who the real ruler of the empire was, and it was also a way for him to declare his ambitions to the entire Tsarist Russia.
The most important thing is the third one.
Petrovich, if his daughter could marry him...
No matter from which aspect, there is no problem for him to become the first person in Tsarist Russia!
