Tsarist Russia has no land and forest city.
"Prince Regent, I would like to see my sister, Elizabeth, and I kindly ask for your approval."
Menshikov immediately fell into disgrace, for the seventh time this week.
Recently, Peter II has always been talking about it in various parliaments: he misses his sister and wants to visit her. Please ask the regent Menshikov for permission.
This incident made all citizens of Tsarist Russia aware of it, and they deeply sympathized with their twelve-year-old Tsar.
At the same time, some secretly cursed Menshikov, saying that the regent was a bad guy, and there was nothing wrong with a younger brother meeting his older sister.
He did not want Peter II to have any contact with his blood relatives, so as not to threaten him.
Due to the pressure of public opinion and various targeted attacks, Menshikov was impatient to be disturbed.
Even the staff in his own palace reminded him: "For our great cause of becoming the emperor of Tsarist Russia in the future, we must not have the image of harsh governance in our reputation. Let's be patient for the time being. What are the risks of a little brat visiting that sister who has no official position?" .”
In the end, the regent made a decision that he would regret for the rest of his life.
He was in the House of Lords and approved Peter II's visit to his sister.
As a result, it didn't take long for him to learn that Peter II's sister, Elizabeth, was in Moscow at the moment.
Menshikov instantly realized that he had been tricked, and the person tricking him was still a little kid whom he looked down upon.
Menshikov broke his favorite porcelain cup imported from Longyan on the spot.
"Go to Moscow, he wants to move the capital to Moscow!"
Move the capital! In order to get rid of his own control, that little kid actually wanted to move the capital to Moscow and join the group of conservatives who were his mortal enemies.
The Dolgoruky family and the Naresh family!
Although it is not a good thing for the royal family, conservatives have recently made moves to favor the royal family.
This is not good news for Menshikov.
"Oh, don't even think about it!" Menshikov sneered at the corner of his mouth and hurriedly ordered to recall his daughter, Peter II's wife.
If I can support a twelve-year-old kid like you to become the emperor of Tsarist Russia, then I can also support the second one!
A vicious thought appeared in Menshikov's mind.
At this time, Peter II of St. Petersburg took one last look at the palace where he grew up.
He got on the carriage without any worries. He went to Moscow this time for the prosperity of the entire Tsarist Russia.
Peter II warned himself in his heart: You can't have too many unnecessary emotions. You are already the emperor of Tsarist Russia and you must take responsibility and eliminate Menshikov.
At this time, his wife, Menshikov's daughter, came.
The two of them took a carriage and set off towards Moscow.
Osilev took the lead and left first, without any major changes along the way.
But when he arrived in Moscow, Peter II suddenly had a high fever and a rash appeared on his body.
After the accompanying medical examination, I suddenly felt something bad.
"It's smallpox!"
As soon as the news spread, those who accompanied him fell into despair. There was no cure for smallpox.
People who suffer from this disease are unlucky people. At this time, Menshikov, who was far away in Butulin City, jumped out and shouted loudly.
Peter II was a devil who caused disaster and was cursed by God.
Don't listen to my dissuasion and insist on going to Moscow.
Osikov was so angry that he wanted to complain in the newspaper, but he was unable to do anything. Few people could survive smallpox. Peter II was only twelve years old.
If he can't resist, he will be defeated in this confrontation with Menshikov...
It was a total loss, and once Peter II died, Regent Menshikov would become the most powerful person in Tsarist Russia.
Peter II, who was lying on the hospital bed, had been tortured by smallpox and was no longer human, but he remembered Menshikov's arrogant face.
Looking at Moscow right in front of him, Peter II reluctantly left his final letter and passed away.
News of Peter II's death quickly spread throughout Tsarist Russia.
Menshikov was very proud of himself in Butulin City, and published one article after another about Peter II's guilt and his own poor supervision.
"I am ashamed of my trust in Peter I and Yekaterinya, and I failed to take good care of Peter II."
When word of this hypocritical appearance reached Moscow, Elizabeth I was almost furious.
But there is nothing we can do.
My poor brother contracted smallpox and died outside Moscow.
As an ominous person, there is no way to bury him according to royal etiquette.
"Princess, your brother's letter is for you."
With tears in her eyes, Elizabeth opened the envelope and saw the contents inside.
"Menshikov, how dare you poison me!"
The letter states that Menshikov's daughter was first infected with smallpox and then poisoned Peter II with the liquid from the rash.
By the time Peter II found out, it was already too late.
Menshikov didn't know that his poisoning had been known to others, and he was leisurely thinking about it in Butulin City.
What's the next move?
Peter II died, and now the most likely successors to the throne are the three daughters of Peter I.
One of the two married in a foreign country and could not come back.
One who is too young has no chance of succeeding to the position of Tsar.
The only one left who had the best relationship with Peter II was Elizabeth.
Menshikov thought about how he could get rid of Elizabeth and support himself as tsar.
After such a long period of hard work, the currency implementation is relatively stable, and the compilation of my family tree is almost completed.
Menshikov squinted his eyes. The small businessman he once was would never appear again.
But he didn't know that in Moscow at this moment, Elizabeth I held an emergency meeting of conservatives.
A coup has been launched in Moscow.
Then the final letter of Peter II was made public, and Menshikov finally accumulated the identity, status, and reputation.
Shattered overnight.
Menshikov was still dreaming in Butulin City when he heard the curses coming from outside.
"Traitor, get out!"
"You are the devil, give us back Peter the Great!"
Menshikov was still a little confused and asked: "Guard, what happened outside? Why is it so noisy?"
But no one answered Menshikov, and countless people on the street poured into Menshikov's palace.
Before he even understood what was happening, he was caught on the street.
When he saw Osilev, everything became clear.
"You conservatives want to overthrow me just by doing this!"
"Guards, guards!"
Menshikov looked around and discovered that he, who once held military and political power, now had not even a single soldier under his command.
"Stop shouting, Menshikov, if you dare to poison the Tsar, this crime will make you die ten thousand times!" Osilev said coldly.
Menshikov smiled sadly: "Haha, what power do you have to punish me for offending me? Do you have evidence, or do you have the power?"
"Don't forget, I'm still the regent. Anyone who dares to break into my mansion today will die!"
Osilev looked at Menshikov who was in a state of embarrassment and making such nonsense. This opponent he had fought with for most of his life did not expect to repent when death was imminent.
"I didn't, she did!"
Osilev stepped out of the way, and a young woman walked out from behind. She was graceful and elegant, with a compelling temperament.
"Elizabeth!" Menshikov said in horror.
Elizabeth smiled lightly: "Dear Regent, as the daughter of Peter the Great and the successor of the current Tsar, do you think I can punish you for poisoning Peter II."
