Chapter 1564 The woman involved

Zeng Yunfeng has some guesses about the master behind this officer, but judging from the current situation of the castle, the master's identity is not as noble as Zeng Yunfeng imagined.

At least he is not King Frederick II of Prussia, but the owner of this castle obviously has certain influence, but judging from the current appearance of the castle, this owner is not as powerful as Zeng Yunfeng imagined, even There are some gaps.

But it is obvious that this person has received a certain amount of attention in front of Frederick II, otherwise, the existence of Prussian officers will become a point of contradiction.

You must know that the Kingdom of Prussia has just won the Silesian War in Silesia, and their control over the military far exceeds that of other surrounding countries and states.

Frederick II would not allow Prussian officers to be arbitrarily controlled by various nobles, especially he would not tolerate sand being mixed in his officer corps.

Frederick II was a man with a strong desire for control. From this point of view alone, the identity of the master behind the Prussian officer should not be too low. At least he may be very similar to Frederick II. close.

At this moment, there was a knock on the door, Zeng Yunfeng winked at the guard next to him, and the guard stepped forward and gently opened the door.

There was a person standing outside, looking very cramped.When the door was opened, the man said directly: "Boss, I seem to have messed things up a bit."

Zeng Yunfeng glanced at this person, and this person was none other than Gris Allen.

Seeing that Zeng Yunfeng breathed a sigh of relief, the situation didn't look that bad, he shook his head, smiled lightly, then pointed to the seat next to him, and said, "Sit down, we're already here, there's nothing to break. Is there anything else that our brothers haven't seen?"

Gris Allen went to the chair beside Zeng Yunfeng and sat down, looking a little embarrassed. After all, involving Zeng Yunfeng in this matter was not what he wanted to see, but it was obvious that someone already knew part of his identity , and hope to have a discussion with someone who can make decisions behind him.

For Gris Allen, this is the first time he has experienced such a situation beyond his control. It is obvious that his whereabouts have been leaked, which implicated his boss.

Of course, it was also because his boss cared about him so much that he came here.

Obviously, the people behind the Prussian officer also clearly knew the weight of Gris Allen in Zeng Yunfeng's heart.

Otherwise, such a situation would not have been set up to allow Zeng Yunfeng to sneak in.

"So who owns this castle?" At this time, another servant brought several cups of coffee and placed them in front of Zeng Yunfeng and others.

Gris Allen pondered for a while before saying: "This manor belongs to the Duke of Anhalt Zebster. The status of the Duke is not so prominent, but he was once a general in the Prussian army and was later named Duke."

"This manor is his manor in Brandenburg. Although this manor is not within his fiefdom, it is enough to show that he has an extremely close relationship with Frederick II."

Speaking of which, Gris Allen took a sip of the coffee in front of him, and continued: "As far as I know, his daughter is now betrothed to the Yellow Crown Prince of Russia!"

Zeng Yunfeng was shocked when he heard these words, "What's her name?"

Gris Allen's face froze slightly, and suddenly his face was a little embarrassed again.

"Her name is Sophie August. I used to know her."

"It's not just acquaintance!" Zeng Yunfeng looked at Gris Allen with some amusement.

"Well, we almost entered the palace of marriage, but my family fell into decline later."

"I'm just acquainted with her now. I met her again in the Principality of Anhalt Zebster more than a year ago. She is obviously not doing well!" Gris Allen was a little depressed.

"She used to be lively and active, but the she I met was not like she was when she was a child, nor was it like I had just met her before."

"The reason why my marriage with her failed at the beginning was because her mother, the Duchess, objected. Her mother was mean and picky."

"She is very dissatisfied with my family and thinks that I am a down-and-out nobleman who is not good enough for Sophie."

"As my family declines, this marriage will eventually come to nothing."

Hearing Gris Allen say this, Zeng Yunfeng's expression paused for a while. Others didn't know, but Zeng Yunfeng knew it all too well.

The name Sophie August, most people in later generations may not know who it is, but when it comes to another name, the world must know it.

That name is Ekaterina, and she is the famous eighth emperor of the Russian Empire, Ekaterina II, and the only empress in Russian history to be named the Great.

It's just that she was first selected as the fiancee of Peter, the heir of the Russian royal family, and converted to the Orthodox Church after getting married, and then changed her name to Ekaterina.

Zeng Yunfeng did not expect that the reason why Gris Allen was involved in this incident was actually related to Yekatera.

It seems that this is not just because his deeds were exposed, but more likely because he was involved in this political marriage.

This political marriage of Ekaterina can be said to have helped the rise of Prussia and played a very important role in it.

After the final Seven Years War, a very important reason why Russia withdrew from the alliance was Catherine II, although she was not directly promoted.

After that, she came to power in a coup, pushed her husband off the throne, and established herself as the new Russian emperor.

This matter directly affected Prussia's interests in the Seven Years War and the subsequent European pattern.

What Zeng Yunfeng didn't expect was that Frederick II actually started planning this matter after the Second Silesian War ended.

From this incident alone, it can be found that Frederick is also a guy who can't afford it early, and he is also a person who plans for a rainy day.

And Prussia's ambition is undoubtedly manifested in front of Zeng Yunfeng. Maybe other people present may not understand the meaning of it, but Zeng Yunfeng is too clear.

In the future, under the leadership of Ekaterina, Russia will frequently conquer East Asia and the Crimean Peninsula, restraining many European forces.

This also attracted enough artillery fire for the rise of Prussia. Zeng Yunfeng did not believe that Ekaterina did not provide the slightest help for the rise of Prussia.

Of course, Ekaterina would never admit that she was secretly colluding with Prussia. This is something that any married noble woman must not be tolerated by other countries.

Ekaterina would definitely say that she defended Russia's interests as the emperor of Russia, but if things were really that simple, then she would underestimate the means of these European nobles.

Political marriage is almost a means of political games in Europe. It is a method that European nobles will use to win relationships through marriage, and even form the distribution of benefits.

And the duke's daughter happened to be stuck at this critical point now, and Gris Allen happened to have some past relationships with this woman, Sophie.

Perhaps it was precisely because of this that Frederick II's attention was attracted, and he turned his attention to Gris Allen accurately. It is estimated that he also conducted a thorough investigation of the identity behind Gris Allen, which is also true. Only then did Gris Allen gradually reveal his traces.

It can be said that this is a coincidence, or it can be said to be a huge opportunity.
