I am Peter III, Emperor of the Hexagon of the Goose Kingdom

Chapter 2 The aunt launched the palace coup and was carried in

After taking over this task, Peter was relieved.

Then I started thinking about how to apologize to Elizabeth.

Elizabeth still loves herself very much.

His mother was Anna Petrovna, the second daughter of Peter the Great and Catherine I, who married into the Principality of Holstein, but died young.

The eldest daughter of Peter the Great and Yeka I died when she was two years old.

Later, although Yeka I continued to give birth to three daughters, the age gap between him and his mother and Elizabeth was relatively large.

When in Russia, the only ones who could play together were their mothers, Anna and Elizabeth.

The two sisters can be said to have a deep relationship.

This is why the original Peter offended Elizabeth repeatedly, and Elizabeth still tolerated it.

Peter read through history in his previous life and knew that Russia and Prussia would be on opposite sides when the Seven Years War broke out in the future. As an admirer of King Frederick II of Prussia, Peter often even secretly sent military information to Frederick.

But such an outrageous thing happened, and Elizabeth also tolerated it, which shows that she really loves this nephew.

After all, her sister died young, and this is her only son.

After thinking about this, Peter felt that it was okay to move the dog to Elizabeth's palace two days ago, and even slapped the table and yelled at Elizabeth.

Then you can just apologize directly and don't have to think so much.

Afterwards, Peter immediately got up and walked out.

At this time, the famous Winter Palace has not yet been established. It is now 1744. Although the Rococo style that originated in France is in the ascendant, it is limited here.

Therefore, the main tone of the entire Queen Elizabeth Palace is still Baroque, luxurious, passionate, and has a strong religious color.

But now it was winter, there was heavy snow outside, and now there was no heating. As far as Peter could see, almost all the court ladies and guards were wearing Byzantine-style clothes.

Without exception, the garments were of six-strand silk brocade, embossed brocade, and velvet, thick in texture and luxurious in appearance, full of barbarian charm.

Peter didn't say hello to anyone, and after pulling a high-ranking female officer to ask where his aunt was, he walked over directly.

……

At this time, in a main hall, Queen Elizabeth was discussing Peter's marriage with the ministers.

The queen was about to speak when a female official came in and reported:
"Your Majesty, the Crown Prince is here and wants to see you."

Elizabeth frowned, thinking about two days ago, she suddenly lost her temper.

This nephew dared to slap the table in front of her and yell at her, he simply ignored her.

Don't say she is the queen, just say that she is his aunt, and she has not been treated like this.

Elizabeth was already very disappointed with Peter, but this time completely made her give up.

She has decided to take Peter to a fortress to show him the tragic situation of Ivan VI.

If it weren't for the fact that only she and Peter are left in her father's line now, and there is really no successor, she would not tolerate this nephew like this.

She knew that if she went this time, the relationship between her and her nephew would be completely broken.

From then on, she is only the queen, and her nephew Peter will also be a reproductive machine.

After giving birth to the blood of Peter the Great, his fate will be the same as that of little Ivan!
Inexplicably, Elizabeth suddenly thought of her sister Anna who died young, and felt a little sad.

Elizabeth said lightly:

"Let him in."

"Yes."

The female officer saluted respectfully, and then withdrew.

Afterwards, Peter walked in, and he glanced at the few people present, all of whom were the top group of people in the court of the Russian Empire.

Since the death of Catherine I, his grandmother, the throne of the empire has been succeeded by the grandson of Peter the Great and his ex-wife Peter Jr., known as Peter II.

In terms of seniority, Peter II is the son of Elizabeth's half-brother Alexei and Elizabeth's nephew.

But Peter II's reign was very short, he died in only three years, and only lived to be 15 years old.

As soon as Peter II died, it was the perfect time for Elizabeth to take the throne, as her older sister Anna had died.

It can be said that Elizabeth is already the only immediate family member of Peter the Great.

However, the Supreme Privy Council was worried that Elizabeth, who represented the power of reform, would be unfavorable to them when she came to power, so they instead supported Elizabeth's cousin, the Duchess of Courland, Anna as the new tsar.

The barren Duchess of Courland, after ruling for ten years, wanted to abdicate the throne to her niece's son before dying.

Her niece, also named Anna, is the Duchess of Mecklenburg, and her son was only a few months old at this time.

When the son of a few months ascended the throne, Ivan VI was regented by his mother, the Duchess of Mecklenburg, assisted by a group of German advisers.

In the court, the Russian orthodox faction, backed by the French embassy, ​​saw Peter the Great's great-grandson inheriting the throne, while Peter the Great and Catherine I's biological daughter Elizabeth Petrovna was left aside, extremely dissatisfied.

During the regency of the Duchess of Mecklenburg, she was very worried about Elizabeth, and kept suppressing Elizabeth, drastically reducing her treatment and fief, and finally one day three years ago.

That is, in December 1741, the French ambassador, the Marquis of La Chettadi, and the royal physician, Lestock, advised Elizabeth that if she did not take action, the Regent Dowager Anna Mecklenburg would arrest her and confine her in the monastery.

Elizabeth was taken aback, and finally agreed to act first.

The Duchess of Mecklenburg represents the German forces, and Queen Anna, who was in front of the Duchess of Mecklenburg, was the Grand Duchess of the Duchy of Courland before she succeeded to the throne. Suppress the nobility.

What they represent is the power of the Brunswick family in Germany. This kind of power ruled Russia, which further fermented the dissatisfaction of the important officials in the court. Everyone put their hopes on Elizabeth, the relative of Peter the Great. daughter.

Elizabeth received the full support of the Preabrazhensky Army formed by Peter the Great himself, and finally acted first and launched a palace coup.

On the day of the coup, Elizabeth wore a breastplate and, after praying to the Virgin Mary, took a sleigh to the camp of the Preabrazhensky Army and led the crowd to the palace.

Although there was the support of the Imperial Guard, none of the supporters was an officer at the time and could not give orders. Elizabeth had to lead the army into the palace.

The coup d'état hardly encountered any obstacles, and the guards in the palace generally turned against each other. Due to the thick snow, Elizabeth, who was wearing a long skirt, was carried into the palace almost all the way.
