Chapter 593 The True Savior
Bloody March is almost the best word used to describe Russia today, because in the past one month, Russia has almost ushered in jaw-dropping changes, the first of which was Menshikov's sudden coup, The conservatives in St. Petersburg were completely cleaned up, and a large army was sent to Moscow in an attempt to launch a surprise attack.

However, due to old Ivan's meddling, the conservatives in Moscow had already received the news, so they announced in Moscow that Emperor Peter had been placed under house arrest in time, and asked to welcome Anna Ivanovna, Duchess of Courland, as the new The emperor, and called on the king's army to all Russia.

After organizing troops, the guards led by Apraksin did not capture Moscow, but were caught off guard by the conservative army, resulting in hundreds of casualties, and then returned to St. Petersburg. Of course, the conservatives The number of troops in China is not large, and it is impossible to complete the attack on St. Petersburg. Therefore, the two sides began to hurry up to gather troops and began to prepare for a life-and-death battle.

When the situation in Russia became more and more tense, the Russians were also in a fog. Although there were coups in the past few times when His Majesty succeeded to the throne, it was obviously not such a confusing one that they couldn't see the whole process of the coup clearly. It just felt muddled.
Of course, it is not only the Russian people who feel confused, but also the gorgeous Princess Elizabeth in Europe. She almost immediately became the fat that the major forces stared at, but before the two sides sent people With a single hand, Elizabeth had disappeared in Moscow inexplicably. Even if the conservatives sent a large number of people to investigate, they still found nothing.

As time went by, especially after Anna Ivanovna returned to Moscow with her army of lovers, the tense atmosphere between the two sides became more and more intense, so the pursuit of Elizabeth also relaxed. They are now There are more important things to do, after all, defeating the opponent is the most important thing!
However, in a city named Saratov in southern Russia, a caravan carrying the banner of Ostelman came to Saratov at this time. The goods transported from Moscow were all still wearing robes, which seemed a bit dusty.

At the city gate of Saratov, a middle-aged man wearing a black pullover shirt and slim-leg pants seemed to have been waiting for a long time. When he saw the convoy approaching, he hurried forward to greet him warmly. A bearded man also came forward, and the two hugged each other.

After saying hello, the middle-aged man led everyone to a warehouse in the city, stopped the carriages of the caravan, and directed the staff to unload all the goods, and then got out of the caravan. The woman, she is wearing a traditional donika-style rubaja, her waist looks very bloated, the neckline is dotted with floral flowers, and her face is covered with a layer of tulle, but it is hard to see her appearance, but her pair of smart Eyes, with a bit of sadness.

However, in the southern region of Russia, there are countless Russian women wearing this kind of traditional rubachha service, so they did not attract any attention. Only a few men took her and two other women directly into the warehouse. Then passed a small path and arrived in front of a small house.

The crowd remained silent all the way, as if no one had the intention to speak, until they entered the small house, the men dispersed, and the woman looked up at the people who were about to leave, with a look in her eyes. It was a bit complicated, and then he slowly opened his mouth.

"Old Ivan."

The woman had a slightly thick northern accent, but her voice was extremely clear, like an oriole in the mountains, making it extremely pleasant to listen to.

The man standing at the front looked back at the crowd, didn't say much, just made a gesture, and saw that the crowd left the small house immediately, and only he and the woman were left here.

Seeing everyone leaving, the woman immediately took off her veil, only to see a crystal clear and white face exposed, the incomparably exquisite facial features seemed to be distributed just right, making it impossible to pick out any faults, and the originally extremely attractive The eyes, on the other hand, are a bit more charming.

Perhaps any man standing in front of her will be deeply attracted by this face, and she is Princess Elizabeth who mysteriously disappeared from Moscow.

Old Ivan changed his face at this time, and the original old face was much younger at this time. Perhaps these faces were his disguise, and his accent became a little hoarse, "Your Highness, you are still on the road this way. Wear your veil as much as possible. Believe what old Ivan said, any man who sees your face will not be able to resist taking it for himself."

Princess Elizabeth took a deep look at the mysterious man in front of her, and couldn't help provocatively asking: "Is that so? Your master is also included?"

"My master? Hehe, maybe it's not just your beauty that he sees in you."

Old Ivan sighed slightly, and then looked at Princess Elizabeth with a scrutinizing gaze, "Your Highness should understand that the most precious thing in you is not just your beauty."

Princess Elizabeth was slightly silent. After undergoing such a sudden change, she seemed to be as cheerful as ever on the surface, but at this helpless time, she was still somewhat confused, which made people feel ashamed. I couldn't help feeling a little pity in my heart, as well as the urge to hold her in my arms.

"I understand that the blood of Peter the Great is flowing on my body, but now I can't even control my own destiny. God, why am I not a man?"

There was a bit of sadness in Elizabeth's eyes. Her personality was actually stronger than that of Peter II, but as a daughter, even if she could make all the men in Europe fall in love with her, it was difficult for her to lift the long sword. Fighting on the battlefield, which makes her who loves all kinds of hunting and horseback riding often regret it.

Especially at this time, powerful ministers are strangling each other in the Russian Empire, and as the royal family of the Romanov family, they can only become pawns used by ambitious people.

For Elizabeth, what is more sad is not the fate of being reduced to a pawn, but even as a pawn, she did not get the result she deserved. At least her cousin Anna is sitting on the throne now, not her .

Old Ivan said softly: "Your Highness, your fate may have been doomed from the moment the emperor passed away. What you need to think about is how to survive."

"Old Ivan, I don't know who you are, but I don't just want to live, I also want to regain the throne and kill that damn bitch—" Elizabeth bit her lip and said bitterly.

Old Ivan said meaningfully: "You have to understand that Anna is looking for you all over the world. Now you don't have the ability to kill her. Maybe you need other help."

"For example, you? Old Ivan, you might as well tell me, who are you?"

There was a little hope in Elizabeth's eyes. In fact, as the daughter of Peter the Great, she was not stupid at all and knew that she had due value. But before that, she needed to understand who was leading all this behind the scenes.

Swede?French?Or a Prussian?Perhaps the British across the Channel?

As the most shining pearl in Europe, Elizabeth is not a naive and romantic girl. Her past experience is also very complicated. When Peter I was still there, he planned to marry her to King Louis XV of France in order to unite France. France did not intend to remain too close to the Russians diplomatically, so it refused the marriage.

Then Peter I lowered his requirements and planned to further win over Prussia. He planned to find Elizabeth a husband among the dukes of the Prussian states. At that time, he basically chose Karl August, the prince of Holstein, but The prince didn't have much luck, and he passed away before he got engaged.

The joke of fate prevented Elizabeth from finding a suitable marriage partner, and Peter I had already passed away, and Catherine I, who succeeded her, faced many challenges, so she could not care about her daughter's marriage, so Elizabeth has been Neither married.

Therefore, as a princess who grew up in the conspiracy between monarchs, Elizabeth almost inherited a considerable part of Peter I's talents, and she did not feel repulsed by these political things. On the contrary, she now wants to participate in it personally Go in and get your revenge.

In order to achieve this goal, no matter whether it is her marriage, her blood, or even her own body, they can all be paid as a price, as long as they can be fully rewarded.

Old Ivan did not answer her question directly, but asked rather curiously: "It is said that someone suggested that you marry Peter II to solve the problem of inheriting the throne?"

A trace of anger flashed in Elizabeth's eyes, and she snorted coldly, "It's just a silly suggestion from some boring people. I'm Little Peter's aunt, how can I marry him?"

Even though she said so, Elizabeth knew in her heart that last year, she was really only one step away from the throne. Perhaps this absurd suggestion at that time was truly implemented, and her fate would not become so helpless.

As mentioned earlier, Catherine I's succession was the result of a coup d'état, and the succession of Peter II was also deeply involved in court conspiracy, because Catherine, who had not died at that time, and as a reformer The former Menshikov and his cronies actually hoped to pass the throne to Elizabeth so as to continue the reformist regime.

However, the general public opinion at that time believed that the only legal heir of Peter the Great was his grandson, Prince Peter, so there were two factions of nephew and aunt, and serious internal strife occurred between the two families of Peter I's original wife. , So Ostelman at the time made a ridiculous suggestion, that is, let Peter, who was only 12 years old, marry his 17-year-old aunt Elizabeth.

I have to say that this suggestion is crazy and bold enough, because their blood relationship is so close that even a certain island country in the later generations would not dare to make such a plot, but it was proposed by the highest minister of Russia openly, even in order to marry such close relatives In justification, he did not hesitate to cite the legend in the Bible about the first generation of human offspring, so that Catherine I, who was not dead, felt ashamed and directly rejected it.

As a result, the reformers and conservatives in Russia at that time reached a wonderful agreement, that is, to make Peter the emperor, but he could let Peter marry Menshikov's daughter as his wife, so that there was a gap between the reformers and the conservatives. To achieve a balance, of course, it is not reliable to look at this nonsense now, because the two sides have already fought before even waiting for a year.

Old Ivan obviously knew the inside story very well, and immediately bewitched: "Your Highness, on the way to becoming emperor, what you lack is never name, but real power. If you have strong power as the Support, don't care about other people's opinions at all, and even if Anna does not succeed to the throne, so what if you become the queen? You are just a puppet."

When Elizabeth heard this, she couldn't help but sneered and said, "Could it be that the one who listens to you is not a puppet? The reason why I go with you is because even being a puppet is better than being killed by that bitch Anna! I have already prepared for this , you should hurry up and talk about it, and when you leave Russia, maybe you take the initiative to say that I don’t want to hear it anymore.”

Old Ivan immediately smiled wryly, and said: "We didn't plan to hide it from the princess. In fact, we do not belong to European powers, but come from Asia, that is, the Great Chu who is at war with the Russian Empire in the Far East!"

"Big Chu? Are you serving the Tatars?" Elizabeth blinked her big eyes, obviously not expecting it at all.

"No, they are Han Chinese, or they can also be called Huaxia people. And the great emperor I follow is a hero who is far more than Peter the Great!"

"Hmph, that's impossible. How could there be an emperor greater than my father in this world? Even if there is no one in Europe, let alone a Chinese!"

The person Elizabeth most admired was her father, so when she heard that someone was greater than Peter the Great, she subconsciously began to refute.

Old Ivan smiled slightly, and said softly: "Your Highness, it doesn't matter whether you are great or not. The important thing is that Peter the Great has returned to the embrace of God. He can't help you, but the monarch I follow, The power he possesses can help you avenge and even become the emperor of the Russian Empire, isn't he great?"

"You have to understand that who can help you now is the real God!"
