"I am ashamed of my trust in Peter I and Ekaterinya, and I did not take good care of Peter II."
When word of this hypocritical appearance reached Moscow, Elizabeth I was almost furious.
But there is nothing you can do.
My poor brother contracted smallpox and died outside Moscow.
As an ominous person, there is no way to bury him according to royal etiquette.
"Princess, your brother's letter is for you."
With tears in her eyes, Elizabeth opened the envelope and saw the contents inside.
"Menshikov, how dare you poison me!"
The letter states that Menshikov's daughter was first infected with smallpox and then poisoned Peter II with the liquid from the rash.
By the time Peter II found out, it was already too late.
Menshikov didn't know that his poisoning had been known to others, and he was leisurely thinking about it in Butulin City.
What's the next move?
Peter II died, and now the most likely successors to the throne are the three daughters of Peter I.
One of the two married in a foreign country and could not come back.
One who is too young has no chance of inheriting the position of Tsar.
The only one left who had the best relationship with Peter II was Elizabeth.
Menshikov thought about how he could get rid of Elizabeth and support himself as tsar.
After such a long period of hard work, the currency implementation is relatively stable, and the compilation of my family tree is almost completed.
Menshikov squinted his eyes. The small businessman he once was would never appear again.
But he didn't know that in Moscow at this moment, Queen Elizabeth I convened an emergency meeting of conservatives.
A coup has been launched in Moscow.
Later, the last letter of Peter II was made public, and Menshikov finally accumulated the identity, status, and reputation.
It fell apart overnight.
Menshikov was still dreaming in Butulin City when he heard the curses coming from outside.
"Traitor, get out!"
"You are the devil, give Peter the Great back to us!"
Menshikov was still a little confused and asked: "Guard, what happened outside? Why is it so noisy?"
But no one answered Menshikov, and countless people on the street poured into Menshikov's palace.
He was caught on the street before he even understood what was happening.
When he saw Osilev, everything became clear.
"You conservatives want to overthrow me just by doing this!"
"Guard, guard!"
Menshikov looked around and discovered that he, who once held military and political power, now had not even a single soldier under his command.
"Stop shouting, Menshikov, if you dare to poison the Tsar, this crime will make you die ten thousand times!" Osilev said coldly.
Menshikov smiled sadly: "Haha, what power do you have to punish me for offending me? Do you have evidence, or do you have the power?"
"Don't forget, I'm still the regent. Anyone who dares to break into my mansion today will die!"
Osilev looked at Menshikov who was in a state of embarrassment and making such nonsense. This opponent he had fought with for most of his life did not expect to repent when death was imminent.
"I didn't, she did!"
Osilev got out of the way, and a young woman walked out from behind, with a graceful appearance and a compelling temperament.
"Elizabeth!" Menshikov said in horror.
Elizabeth smiled lightly: "Dear Regent, as the daughter of Peter the Great and the successor of the current Tsar, do you think I can punish you for poisoning Peter II?"
