"Son of my son, please see my mother." In the Kremlin, Tsar Mikhail was paying homage to his mother, and also the Empress Dowager Marfa of the Rakshasa Empire. Empress Dowager Marfa was over 60 years old, but she still maintained very well. Just from the perspective of appearance, she was ten years younger than her actual age. Although she had lived a pampered life in the palace, Empress Marfa was different from other women in the harem. She was very passionate about government affairs. Since Mikhail was a child, Empress Marfa had actually been in charge of the rule behind the curtain and was also the actual controller of the Rakshasa Empire. But if Mikhail was young and the Empress Dowager was assisting the government and returned the power to him after he grew up, then the evaluation that Malfa received was a virtuous queen, but power was a kind of

Poison, once a person is obsessed with it, he will never let go. Marfa is such a person. Even if Mikhail has ascended the throne for many years and is old, Marfa is still unwilling to give up the power in his hands and wants to continue to control the power of Rakshasa. This naturally has a huge conflict with the Tsar who is eager to regain his own power. Komarfa has been in the court for many years, and his power is deeply rooted. Mikhail is relatively weak in character, so it is not easy to seize power. Even so, Mikhail secretly accumulated his own strength. Mikhail took out all the 50,000 gold coins given to him by his father-in-law to recruit soldiers who are loyal to him. Mikhail deeply understood one truth that only by grasping military power can he control the regime.

"Dear Mikhail, you haven't come to see me for a month. I don't know what you have to do. You're so busy?" Empress Dowager Malfa leaned on the sofa and said to the Tsar who was kneeling in front of him. He did not mean to let Mikhail get up. Mikhail's heart flashed with a hint of dissatisfaction, but he didn't dare to show it on his face, because at this moment he had a very thrilling plan in his mind. Otherwise, if the plan fails, he will lose everything he has. Mikhail has a weak and good personality and has no courage to do things, but this time it is different. This is the only opportunity to be comparable to Emperor Ivan. This opportunity is so tempting that Mikhail has been reborn. If a man cannot achieve something at the age of forty, then what is the difference between him and a useless man? This is Mikhail's obsession.

Mikhail replied: "Mother, there are so many things happening this month. Do you still remember Golovin? He was sent to the Far East as the governor of the Far East. The situation in the Far East is complicated, and I need to support him from behind. There is also the Ottoman Empire in the southwest. Our rights and interests near the Caspian Sea have been damaged. There are frictions between the two sides. I wonder if I should teach these proud Turks a lesson, so I am also worried about logistics during this period." Malfa sat upright and shook his head and said: "Tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk, my dear son, you only need to

Just go to the palace with the queen and your concubines. If you feel bored, you can walk on the streets of Moscow. You don’t have to worry about these major issues, so you will naturally have ministers to take care of them." Mikhail's cheek twitched and gritted his teeth, but he lowered his head. Marfa couldn't see the ferocious expression on his face. Then, he exhaled and said, "By the way, Mother, the day after tomorrow is Alexei's birthday, and the little guy is clamoring to parade in the square. The square has just been expanded and covered with red floor tiles and wall tiles, which is very grand."

When he heard Alexei's name, Malfa smiled. Marfa still liked this six-year-old grandson, because he was also Mikhail's only son, basically the future crown prince, the next tsar of the Rakshasa Empire, and he was white and fat. Malfa loved him very much. "So that's it. I almost forgot Alexei's birthday. It seems that I want to prepare a gift for him." Mikhail immediately followed

He said, "Mother, Alexey said that he wanted to summon the guards to parade the military, and also wanted to invite Mother, Chernenko, Zaitsev, Azarovsky and all the ministers to participate." After saying that, fine beads of sweat oozed out from Mikhail's forehead, which was the most critical part of his plan. The names mentioned just now were all the iron rods of the Empress Dowager. It was precisely because of these people who colluded with the Empress Dowager in the court that Rakshasa's power could be controlled by Marfa.

If it were normal, if Marfa summoned these ministers, the Empress Dowager might be suspicious, but Mikhail was an excuse to celebrate Alexei's birthday, so Marfa did not doubt it, it was just the childlike innocence of a child. Marfa laughed and said, "Hahaha, very good, call the ministers up, just to see Alexei's style. Hasn't he practiced riding a horse recently? He could let him put on his dress and review the guards, so that he could familiarize himself with the feeling of the Tsar in advance." Mi

The murderous aura in Khail's eyes flashed by. You know, Alexei has not been crowned as crown prince, but what does Marfa mean when he says this? Even if Mikhail wants to enthrone Alexei as crown prince, he can only say it from Mikhail's own mouth. Malfa is not only a problem of interfering in the affairs, but also a serious challenge to the authority of the Tsar. However, Mikhail did not say much, but just said to Marfa: "Okay, Mother, I'll ask you and the ministers to come at that time."

"Ula!Ula!Ula!" Two days later, on Red Square, thousands of Kremlin guards gathered in the square. They lined up in neat rows and shouted long live to the Tsar and ministers in the stands. The young men were tall and tall, and there were many officers among them. This made some royal girls and the families of ministers lit up. The atmosphere of Rakshasa was very open, and some girls even began to wave handkerchiefs to these handsome boys. However, the duty of the soldiers was to obey orders. Today, Prince Alexei was to review them, so they could not respond enthusiastically to the girls, and they had to stand upright.

Alexei was wearing a reduced-edged white dress, with his blond hair neatly combed. He rode on a white short horse, and the gold medal on his chest was shining brightly, as if he had already had the style of a Tsarist. He was waiting for his father's command. As long as the father announced the ceremony, he could ride on his horse to inspect the army. This was the wish that the little guy had made since he followed Mikhail to review the troops once at the age of four, hoping to review the troops once on his sixth birthday and enjoy his appetite. Mikhail happily satisfied him, but today's military parade was not just for Alexei's wish, but Mikhail wanted to take this opportunity to do something more important.

The crowd in the stands had already sat down. The Empress Dowager and Chernenko and other ministers sat together. They were in the middle of the front row, and Mikhail sat on the side. Obviously, these ministers were arrogant and licentious and did not take Mikhail seriously. There was no sense of superiority or inferiority. The Empress Dowager asked these people to sit beside him, and these people really sat down and did not leave a place for Mikhail. Mikhail didn't seem to care much, and saw that everyone was sitting down.

He stood up and walked to the podium, shouting to the thousands of soldiers below: "The military parade begins now." The soldiers carried the muskets on their shoulders and stood attentively with a snap. Several officers in the lead shouted: "Facing the Tsar Majesty! Ula!" "Ula!" As Ula's voice sounded, Alexey rode his little white horse, and a servant led the horse in front of him. The little prince began the military parade, with an excited expression on his face. Obviously, this was an important moment in his life.

Mikhail sat back on his seat and the queen sat beside him. Mikhail quietly said to the queen: "Dear Streshneva, no matter what happens later, you must immediately take your servants down and take Alexey away." The queen was stunned, but Mikhail immediately stood up and walked towards the Queen Mother without waiting for her to react. After all, Streshneva is the mother of a country, and of course she is very smart. She immediately realized something and subconsciously grabbed her skirt.

"Mother, how about it, Alexei seems very happy." Mikhail walked to Marfa and said. Chernenko and others finally reacted. When they saw the Tsar coming, they still stood up to salute. They couldn't have been in front of them. They were still sitting in the chairs openly. That was too much. Mikhail seemed to have not seen them, just talked to Marfa. Marfa did not get up, but smiled and said, "Yes, Alexei performed very well, but dear son, you seem to block my sight. Can you get out of here?" Mikhail did not move, but said to Marfa: "Mother, there is something I forgot about the day before yesterday. The day before yesterday I forgot about it.

It was about Golovin. Golovin wrote that the barbarians in the Far East sent envoys to jointly attack the Ming Kingdom with us. We only need to provide 20,000 musketeers and corresponding firearms to them. After the Ming Kingdom was captured, both sides could divide the wealth of Ming Kingdom in half. I decided to agree to this request." Malfa hula stood up and said, "What are you talking about, Mikhail! Why don't you tell me such a big thing?" Chernenko and others also said, "Your Majesty, you have to discuss major military and national affairs with the ministers. Golovin, a small governor of the Far East, has the power to receive the barbarian envoys. Besides, how can Your Majesty decide on such a thing?"

"Enough! You damn bastards! If you hadn't controlled the government, how could the military and political affairs of the Rakshasa Empire be so corrupt!" Mikhail said angrily.
