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

Chapter 56 Deputy Ministers of General Affairs Alexei Besdutev Ryumin and Sergey Saltykov
Bestutev's full name is Alexey Bestutev Lyumin.

As Deputy Minister of General Affairs, Bestutev is a ruthless and capable person. Although Vorontsov is now sitting in the position of Minister of General Affairs, he is more likely to implement moderate government orders.

And Bestutev is much more aggressive.

His lifelong ambition was to form an alliance with Great Britain and Holland, the sea powers of Europe, and Austria and Poland, Saxony, the continental powers of Central Europe.

Under such circumstances, Bestutev was extremely hostile to Prussia.

The person Frederick II of Prussia feared the most in Russia was also Bestutev.

This person is extremely talented, and in foreign affairs, his ability is stronger than most diplomats, so that he is basically invincible in the vortex of foreign policy and court machinations, and has extremely strong political ability.

At the age of 15 he was sent abroad by Peter the Great for his education, studying foreign affairs for a long time.

At the age of 27, he was appointed Russian ambassador to Copenhagen by Peter the Great.

Five years later, Peter the Great died and he was appointed Minister to Hamburg.

In this unimportant post he held for 15 years.

After the reigns of the two German women, Empress Anna and Duchess of Mecklenburg, the aunt called back this disciple of Peter the Great as soon as she came to the throne.

The use of Bestutev is to restore the foreign policy established by Peter the Great.

At this time, Bestutev should be the Deputy Minister of General Affairs, in charge of foreign affairs.

However, Bestutev also opposed him becoming the heir and Ye Er becoming the crown prince, because both of them had certain German blood.

After he and Ye Er got engaged, Bestutev had been sending people to secretly monitor the two of them. During this process, he accidentally discovered Johanna, a poor agent sent by Frederick, who was also Ye Er's mother.

He copied all the letters that Johanna wanted to secretly send to Frederick, and then sealed them up and sent them away. After accumulating for several months, he gave them to his aunt when she had time on vacation and when she was in a good mood.

As a result, the Marquis of La Chettadie, the minister to France, was deported by Johanna, the pig teammate, and Baron Madefield, the Prussian ambassador to Russia for more than 20 years, was ordered to leave the country after one year.

And Johanna, if it hadn't been for the fact that the wedding had not yet taken place, she would have been kicked out long ago.

Bestutev brought down several opponents at once, and his power became more stable.

Peter recalled Bestutev's appearance and character.

Thin lips, protruding nose, a sharp lower jaw, and a broad, sloping forehead.

He is a gourmet, loves chemistry, suffers from depression, is cruel by nature, moody, has a bad temper, and hides his secrets. After taking power, he becomes taciturn, more vigorous and resolute, and treats enemies mercilessly.

But he is also an excellent psychologist, with accurate judgment on people, very selfless and selfless in his work, a fanatical nationalist, dedicated to the interests of Russia and the empress, and a loyal servant of the dictatorship .

Peter's eyes searched back and forth among the ministers, but he didn't see anyone with this appearance.

Can't help but wonder, is it possible that the Deputy Minister of Internal Affairs and Affairs was so shameless when he was baptized for the first time?

Or is he not in the country now?
Just when Peter was a little confused, his aunt came in, which also meant that the baptism could officially begin.

Everyone formed a circle with a solemn face, the patriarch, the queen, him, Earl Roman's family were the center of sight.

And in front of them, there was a silver basin with holy water in it.

The Countess hugged the child to the Patriarch, and this ignorant little girl was immersed in holy water three times. According to the Orthodox Church, all original sins were washed away, God's grace was accepted, and the road to new life was opened.

The entire ceremony lasted for more than an hour. The process was complicated and tedious, and the ceremony was solemn. The ministers seemed to be breathing lightly.

In the entire baptism hall, only the voice of the Patriarch echoed.

At the end of the ceremony, the Patriarch announced that he had become the little girl's godfather.

And this little girl, Ekaterina Vorontsova, is now a little Orthodox Christian.

The sacred atmosphere gradually dissipated after everyone left the Holy Trinity Church, and Elizabeth gradually showed joy on her face.

The service of the Duchess allowed her to relax temporarily, and the Patriarch's visit to other places also saved him from nagging about the extravagant ball in her ear.

She invited Faranelli to the masquerade ball, and tonight is destined to be a grand and carnival night that will be talked about many years later!

For this reason, she has long ordered that anyone above the count can participate, as long as they are in St. Petersburg, even if they do not have an official position.

Although the halls are different, the happy atmosphere is the same.

After everyone left the Holy Trinity Cathedral, Patriarch Adrian felt guilty for the upcoming party. He confessed to the Virgin Mary on behalf of the Queen, and then announced that he would leave St. Petersburg immediately.

The time has come to both inspect the major dioceses and publicize the bad deeds of Peter!
Adrian was quite excited for a moment.

……

Back at the palace, there was still some time before the party started, and Peter was not very interested in this kind of party.

I just considered that Princess Luisa didn't show up that time, and I was worried that she would use the opportunity of this party to cause trouble, so the latest list of participants is about to come.

Looking at it, when he saw a name, Peter stopped and frowned.

Sergei Saltykov and his wife.

Peter sneered.

It is impossible to be a tauren in this life!
Then told Vorontsova:

"Change my clothes!"

Voronzova was a little confused, so, wasn't His Highness still lacking in interest just now, why did he suddenly become energetic now?

　Oh hoo~ The fourth update is over, see you tomorrow~~
