Several of Menshikov's strategies after taking power are being gradually implemented.
Osilev held a coin in his hand and was trembling all over.
What Menshikov wanted to do was already obvious to Tsarist Russia.
Peter's funeral hasn't even started yet, but he can't help but want to issue currency with his own image on it.
No matter which country you are in, there is no one who can appear on the currency who is not a great man like Peter the Great. Just Menshikov, is he worthy?
And listen, he is already fabricating his own genealogy and trying every means to bring his bloodline closer to the royal family or the nobility.
Is he just a farmer selling sesame seed cakes?
But there is no way, now Menshikov has the power.
Tsarist Russia was defeated and the entire country fell into chaos.
The Black Sea port was taken away by the Ottomans.
Tsarist Russia is already panic-stricken. At this time, everyone knows that if there is another internal mutiny, Tsarist Russia will really be doomed.
Therefore, despite having great opinions about Menshikov, the current Tsarist Russia still focuses on maintaining stability.
The group of people around Osilev also sighed.
As members of the committee, it was inevitable that everyone would be suppressed and retaliated by Menshikov.
Of course, Menshikov did not dare to kill them. After all, these people were all ministers of Tsarist Russia. If they were killed, Tsarist Russia's government affairs would be paralyzed.
That's why we tolerate their committee and continue to plan here.
"Lord Osilev, although the situation is very urgent now, we still have to take precautions step by step."
"Yes, we must not let Menshikov seize the opportunity to gradually clean up us!"
"He is a madman now, but fortunately he has not turned into a butcher yet!"
Everyone present has a strong sense of crisis. Everyone knows that the reason Menshikov has not cleared them up yet is because he does not want Tsarist Russia to fall into chaos.
Wait until he really becomes the emperor...
Everyone held their breath.
Osilev rubbed his temples: "Then what do you think we should do?"
"No one will believe the genealogy thing. The currency thing can only be found from the Queen. But this marriage thing..."
Everyone looked at each other.
Yes.
No matter what, Menshikov's daughter cannot be allowed to become the empress of Tsarist Russia.
Then if Menshikov's daughter becomes the queen, Tsarist Russia will really be hopeless.
Even if that doesn't work out, the throne can be passed on to Menshikov's grandson.
In this way, the power is really lost, and there is no chance to stand up again.
Now, the nominal and legal heir to the throne is Alexeyevich.
This little guy is the grandson of Peter the Great.
His father, who was originally the heir, was unexpectedly suspected by Peter of participating in rebellion and was imprisoned until his death.
then.
He undoubtedly became the first heir to the empire.
Menshikov is already planning to marry his daughter to Alexeyevich.
This made Osilev and the others feel a lot of pressure.
but.
The situation in Tsarist Russia is actually more complicated.
Even when Peter the Great was at his most glorious, there was a group that resisted him, namely the conservatives in Tsarist Russia. They opposed Peter the Great's reforms, but because Peter the Great was too powerful, they could only endure it.
But now that Peter the Great has died, things are different.
Osilev took a deep breath: "It seems that we should maintain our relationship with Moscow!"
