Although Moscow is not the capital of Tsarist Russia and the capital is still St. Petersburg, all orders now are issued by Moscow.
Queen Elizabeth I also lived here.
In the House of Lords, Representatives Dolgoruky and Naresh came to the House of Lords early.
Other members of parliament arrived one after another, and Elizabeth sat in the chief position.
She frowned slightly and read a frontline military report that came this morning.
This military report was not large, only two pages, but the amount of information recorded on it was huge.
Queen Elizabeth I saw that all the members had arrived, put down the military newspaper in her hand, and said in a deep voice: "Go and ask for the Patriarch."
The congressman was stunned for a moment, wondering why the patriarch needed to be alerted now.
Patriarch is the title of the highest clergy member of the Orthodox Church in Tsarist Russia.
Orthodox Christianity is a branch of Christianity, alongside Protestantism and Catholicism.
It was the state religion of Tsarist Russia. The patriarch had great influence in Tsarist Russia. Sometimes even the emperor of Russia needed to listen to the opinions of the patriarch.
However, the Patriarch was only a title for a clerical leader in Tsarist Russia and did not have the same power as the Catholic Pope.
In Tsarist Russia, divine power did not override imperial power.
A missionary wearing red and white robes, holding a Latin cross, walked in slowly.
As the current monarch of Tsarist Russia, Elizabeth I stood up and saluted, and other members of parliament also followed Elizabeth I and stood up, saluted and prayed.
This is a ritual among Protestants.
"May God bless you," the Patriarch shouted loudly.
"May God bless you." Others agreed.
Queen Elizabeth I glanced at the Patriarch and asked him to take a seat, and then other members of Parliament sat back in their seats.
The Orthodox Patriarch looked at the solemn atmosphere in the House of Lords Hall and glanced around. The expressions on each person's face were different.
But there was an air of seriousness about it.
The Patriarch spoke slowly: "Dear Elizabeth I, I am the Tsar of Tsarist Russia. Although I am the Patriarch, I should not participate in any political affairs. This is just a promise made by our Orthodox Church when it was introduced to Tsarist Russia."
"I don't know why you called me here."
Elizabeth I nodded slightly and looked at the Orthodox Patriarch, the highest clergy member of the Orthodox Church: "Patriarch, I understand what you mean, but today we received military reports from the front line, and the Catholic Church has extended an olive branch to us."
When he heard the word "Catholic", the Patriarch's aura changed, from his previous amiability to a cold-eyed look.
"Catholic!" The patriarch's voice was calm, but everyone felt the coldness in his tone.
He looked at Elizabeth I's face quietly without saying a word.
Everyone knows that the Orthodox Church and the Catholic Church have always been at odds, and the conflicts can even last for thousands of years!
It is understandable that Tsarist Russia should have good relations with those countries that believe in Catholicism.
The Orthodox Patriarch will not interfere in the political affairs between countries.
But during the war, the Catholic Church extended an olive branch to Tsarist Russia. What does this mean?
Everyone knows that the Catholic Church wanted to use this war to spread its faith into Tsarist Russia, the homeland of the Orthodox Church.
How could this Orthodox Patriarch look so good-looking?
Elizabeth sighed and added: "We cannot refuse the conditions they proposed."
"Patriarch, I'm afraid this matter will only wrong you." Elizabeth I said quietly.
On the field, time seemed to freeze suddenly, and everyone fell into deathly silence.
