It's over.
Everyone was silent.
Menshikov is finished now!
No one can protect him!
In this life, his brother Peter, who has indulged him all his life, may not be able to keep him!
One million stones of grain and grass!
The lives of 300,000 troops were wiped out overnight. This blow to Tsarist Russia is not a big one. No, this is no longer a blow, this is equivalent to directly cutting the Russian Empire in half!
Peter was so angry that he felt dizzy.
I fainted several times and was saved by doctors several times.
"Menshikov, call Menshikov!"
"Call me!"
Peter roared with all his strength, and the eyes of this old hero were shining with despair.
Three hundred thousand...
Tsarist Russia itself had a small population base. With an army of 300,000, he could have used it to sweep across the world, but now, but now...
News came back from the front line that not only the army had been severely damaged, but even Rumyantsev and Ushakov, although they tried their best to treat them, were already dying and feared that they would not survive this winter.
Heavy damage.
Tsarist Russia was really hit hard this time. It is difficult for Peter to imagine what his Tsarist Russia would be like without generals like Rumyantsev and Ushakov. It is also difficult for the people of Tsarist Russia to get used to it. Without this general marshal of the army and the anchor of the navy, what would Tsarist Russia be like.
but……
It all happened like this.
Peter angrily yelled, "Bring him here, bring him here!"
This time, he insisted on bringing Menshikov to justice! Not killing is not enough to make the people angry!
"Your Majesty, we must investigate strictly!"
"His Majesty!"
"Menshikov is corrupt and perverting the law, he..."
Osilev and others also stood up excitedly and began to complain about Menshikov's dozens of crimes. They are undoubtedly the happiest at this time. Those who were wearing masks a few days ago no longer care about hiding their identities. Everyone could see that Menshikov was really going to fall this time.
"Your Majesty, there's no need to tie you up, I'm already here."
Unexpectedly, at this moment, Menshikov's sneer sounded.
The sound of footsteps was not only coming!
Behind him was a group of heavily armed soldiers, at least a thousand soldiers, who suddenly occupied the entire House of Lords!
"you……"
"this……"
"Menshikov, what do you want to do!"
The faces of the people in the House of Lords changed drastically.
Because these soldiers came in with murderous intent, swords drawn, and fully armed. They had already taken out their weapons and faced these ordinary officials.
Menshikov looked at Peter with a cold face.
This time, facing the brother who had supported him all his life, he showed no respect or flattery. He just looked at Peter deeply with complicated eyes. Looking at this emperor who has aged before him. There was no emotion in his eyes anymore. If there was any emotion, it was just a flash of pity in his eyes.
"Bold! Menshikov, what do you want to do!"
Osilev and others, protecting Peter behind them, were furious at Menshikov.
Others in the House of Lords were also frightened.
What does Menshikov want to do?
What does he want to do?
He wants to rebel?
Everyone's eyes flashed with fear. are you crazy? Menshikov, is he crazy? You must know that Peter gave him the status and power he has today! You know, when he was a child, he was a child from a poor family and sold sesame seeds on the street! You know, without Peter, he would have died countless times!
Peter, to the greatest extent, tolerated his greed and lust.
But today...
He actually looked at his benefactor, his brother, his emperor, and his eldest brother coldly.
"You, you, you...what are you going to do?"
Peter's face was also twisted.
He wanted to stand up, but his physical condition was deteriorating and it was difficult for him to stand up.
"Ekaterina, help me up!"
"Hel me up!"
Peter roared.
He wanted to be strong all his life. He had never been weak when facing any enemy. Today, he didn't want to either.
but.
Ekaterina did not move.
The scene and atmosphere began to become weird.
Ekaterina, dressed in a full dress, just sat there quietly. She was sitting next to Peter, but she didn't seem to hear his roaring and shouting.
"you……"
"Ekaterina!"
Peter shuddered and looked at Ekaterina in disbelief.
Ekaterina remained unmoved.
"you you you……"
Peter's face turned pale, he couldn't believe what was happening in front of him.
He couldn't figure out why all this was happening...
This is your own queen!
This is my wife!
He knew that Ekaterina and Menshikov were once lovers. But he really didn't expect that now, Yekaterina is still on Menshikov's side. This means that after all these years...Ekaterina still maintains a lover's relationship with Menshikov?
He has been...
Is it green?
Others in the House of Lords had slowly closed their eyes.
They seemed to see Peter the Great, his head was all green.
In fact, everyone has heard about this matter... but because the matter is sensitive, it is difficult to tell Peter. Moreover, in these European courts, there are countless such tidbits and secrets, and it has even become a tradition... so no one particularly cares about them.
European royal families are still very open in this regard.
Otherwise, Peter would not have married his brother's lover as a queen.
But, I didn't expect...
did not expect.
"Protect Your Majesty!"
At this time, Osilev suddenly roared angrily.
But it's too late...
Yekaterina's body finally moved, and then, shockingly, what seemed just now was that an exquisite dagger appeared in her hand holding Peter's back!
"you……"
"Be bold!"
"His Majesty!"
"Protect Your Majesty!"
"These two adulterers and whores!"
The entire upper house went crazy, everyone stood up and cursed Menshikov angrily.
Peter was trembling all over. This once arrogant emperor had single-handedly changed the fate of Tsarist Russia and brought Tsarist Russia to glory. His usually sharp eyes like a hawk were now full of incomprehensible despair. , all panic and sadness.
His own queen pointed a dagger at him!
She pointed the dagger at herself...
"Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha……"
Peter suddenly laughed sadly: "That's it, that's it..."
"You guys..."
"It's you..."
The whole House of Lords.
Silence fell.
