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

Chapter 51 The Virgin Mary, Believe Me!
On the bed, Peter opened his eyes, the morning light was moving, and what was even more moving was Vorontsova's sound sleep.

Quietly, softly, like a breath of fresh air, when Voroncova opened her eyes, she saw Peter and couldn't help but blush.

Then he seemed to realize the time, and couldn't help but exclaimed:
"Oops, Adelaide..."

Peter was taken aback for a moment, and seeing Voronzova jumping up, flustered for a while, it suddenly dawned on him that something was wrong.

No one dared to come in without him telling the other maids and guards in the outer hall, so it was fine for Voronzova to whisper Adelaide's name just now.

Peter glanced towards the unlocked chamber, not paying much attention.

Last night, I entertained the princess with good wine and good meat in the secret room. He thought Adelaide would understand and would not take this opportunity to escape.

And she can't get out.

Vorontsova just straightened her chest and made her way there.

When the door of the secret room opened, Peter saw Adelaide lying on the ground next to the door, sound asleep.

With this posture, a vodka bottle in one hand, and a pig and rabbit platter in the other, the roasted meat on it has been scattered all over the floor. Peter felt that Adelaide really had a big heart.

Then he lay down on the bed again, lifted the quilt to look, and couldn't help sighing, he fell asleep anyway.

Voronzova grabbed Adelaide's feet and dragged her back into the secret room, then Adelaide's murmurs and rustling sounds came from inside.

After another moment, Voroncova came out, and Adelaide also looked out of the secret room, and happened to meet Peter's eyes, and in Adelaide's annoyed eyes, the door of the secret room closed .

Then Voroncova washed her hands, called the maids outside, and served Peter together.

Voroncova made the final arrangements for Peter and said:

"Your Highness, today is a great day for you to become godfather."

Peter nodded indifferently, looked at the maids guarding the outer palace, and asked:
"Has Ivanovitch been here?"

The maid saluted and said:
"Your Highness, I've been here. I heard that His Highness is still resting, so I didn't bother you. He left this for His Highness."

As she said that, the lady-in-waiting held up a book in both hands, which was the Bible.

Peter flipped through it, found nothing out of the ordinary, and gave Vorontsova the Bible to hold, thinking about Ekaterina Vorontsova in his mind.

According to normal history, Ekaterina Vorontsova's mother, Countess Roman, only had two years to live. His original plan was to make a prophecy during this baptism and cast a veil on her body. A layer of mysterious aura, and then shorten the distance with the Orthodox Church.

Although under Peter the Great's reforms, the jurisdiction of the Orthodox Church has been weakened again and again, but despite the further reduction, for him, the power of monasteries and churches in various places is still extremely impressive.

And the Orthodox Church is an irreplaceable belief in the hearts of the Russians!

In Europe, there are too many wars for religious reasons.

The Crusades were launched eight times. Although the basic purpose was to recapture the holy land of Jerusalem, people of different classes had different purposes for participating in the war.

The ruling class is to recapture the territory and re-rule the region.

For those fighters, their purpose of participating in the war is to atone for their sins, so that they can go to heaven after death.

For the pope said to them:

"If you don't have money for indulgences, join the army and take back our holy places and destroy those non-Christians. Then God will forgive us for our mistakes."

The power of religion is so powerful that Peter envied it.

As the queen's aunt, when she was young, she often went to pray in the church. After entering a pious state, she knelt for several hours. At that time, the aunt was the Grand Duke, and she could see the whole picture from a glimpse, which shows the influence of the Orthodox Church in Russia.

Moreover, the current Patriarch Adrian is very old. He killed Peter the Great, Queen Anna, and the regent Duchess of Mecklenburg. Can he still kill himself?

For me with a physique of 20, that was impossible!

Peter thought of the original Peter's uncle Adolf Frederick.

Because Peter became the heir to the Russian Empire and was forced by Elizabeth to give up the Swedish throne, Adolf Frederick was both the Lutheran bishop in Eutin and the king of Sweden. Why couldn't he?

In Russia, he is both crown prince and patriarch, which is not bad.

If he becomes the chief patriarch, he will implement his own policies after assuming the throne, and there will be unimaginable convenience in many places.

Those who believe in others will get eternal wealth!

"Let's go."

Although it was still early and the baptism was in the afternoon, Peter was still going to the Holy Trinity Cathedral first.

"Yes, Your Highness!"

When it was approaching noon, when Elizabeth set off, someone called Peter, but she was surprised to learn that Peter had already set off, and then rushed to the Peter and Paul Fortress.

Under the leadership of the queen, court dignitaries and nobles quickly gathered here.

When they heard that Peter was praying in a side hall, and he had been praying for more than an hour, they all looked strange, suspecting that they had heard wrong.

Peter can pray?
Adrian, the patriarch of all Russia, stared at his eyes, suspecting that Peter was wreaking havoc.

He couldn't see the signs of aging at all, so he quickly rushed to where Peter was while leaning on his teaching staff.

Elizabeth also hurried to follow.

When the queen left, the court ministers followed suit.

When everyone walked in and saw that Peter was really praying earnestly, they couldn't help being stunned.

Adrian looked Peter up and down, trying to figure out what he was trying to do wrong, but couldn't find any.

On the contrary, Peter's dignified appearance and his unsurpassed appearance of an Orthodox Christian made Adrian suspect that he was old and dizzy.

"Is this still Peter?"

He couldn't help but wonder.

……

The easiest way to distinguish between Catholicism, Christianity, and Orthodox Church is to look at the statues of gods and see who is in the C position.

Catholicism is God, Christianity is Jesus, and Orthodox is Mary.

Looking at the Virgin Mary in the mural, Peter murmured in his heart:

"Holy Virgin Mary, please give me strength... Oh no, please give me the position of Patriarch, I will definitely lead Russia to prosperity! Believe me, that's right! I love you~"

At this moment, Peter's expression was sacred and extremely solemn.

Elizabeth looked at Peter's back at this time, very relieved.

Peter was so thin when he first came to Russia, and she often worried that Peter would not wake up. At that time, Peter had no sense of belonging to Russia, and all his behavior and speech were full of German shadows. She was worried about it.

She launched a coup and overthrew the ruler surrounded by German blood. Will the future empire still be controlled by the German style?

But at this moment, all these worries disappeared.
