"Fortunately, his respect for you is genuine, and I hope you can maintain a friendly relationship with him. This will greatly reduce the possibility of us being attacked from both sides, and you can concentrate on dealing with Austria.
In addition, two items from Peter III are presented.
Your loyal servant Madefield."
Frederick was not surprised that Peter openly favored a noble lady. Although this was a bit annoying to the emperor, it was within common sense.
But Peter jumped naked and beat an ambassador, which made Frederick unable to believe it.
How could Peter be so ridiculous?
Because Elizabeth made Peter the crown prince without any warning, and even secretly took Peter away from Holstein. It was not until a few days later that the people of Holstein learned that their reserve king was missing, so Frederick also
Never met Peter.
But he had a full-length portrait of Peter.
Would such a thin Peter fight an ambassador naked? Does he have the physique?
Frederick was a plain-looking man, five feet seven inches tall, with a thin face, a high forehead, and a pair of large, slightly protruding blue eyes.
At this moment, these blue eyes were full of doubt.
Then he looked at the other two things Madefield brought him.
It is also a full-length portrait, with the name of this person written below the portrait, Pyotr Feodorovich, which is the name of Peter III.
Moreover, this is a portrait that only wears an open shirt and is naked elsewhere. It shows an angry Peter standing on the carriage and glaring forward, his mouth open as if he is cursing something angrily, and wants to
Jumping off the carriage.
Obviously, this was Peter III preparing to beat up the Danish ambassador.
Frederick couldn't help being surprised when he saw this portrait.
Not only is this portrait lifelike and expresses the anger of an emperor with such tension, but what is even more amazing is how could Peter be so majestic?
Frederick looked carefully again to make sure it was not some other pendant, and he couldn't help but be full of doubts.
Is this the size a human would have?
It almost made him doubt his life.
"Bring me the picture of Peter Holstein!"
Soon, a framed portrait arrived.
The photo frame is 0.6 meters wide and 0.9 meters high. The person inside is wearing formal clothes, and there is an eye-catching signature in the corner of the portrait, Carl Peter Ulrich.
In terms of pedigree, the word Karl comes from King Carl XII of Sweden, and the word Peter comes from Peter the Great. This is a very prominent name.
And this portrait is of Peter in Holstein.
Frederick had the two portraits held side by side. The more he compared them, the more incomprehensible they became.
Holstein's Peter is thin, and it can be seen from the portrait that he has a frail physique and a hesitant look. Obviously, as he knew, Peter is a suspicious and timid character. He should not be able to jump out of the carriage and beat the ambassador.
.
Rather, he looks like a person who is sulking alone and venting his anger in a closed palace.
But the other portrait is naked and ridiculous, standing on the carriage very arrogant and arrogant.
The appearance is somewhat similar, and it can be seen that Peter has undergone some changes since arriving in Russia.
"With such a completely different temperament, is this really the same person?"
Frederick couldn't help but be puzzled.
He looked at it a few more times, and once again looked sideways at the portrait sent by Madefield. Even though he was usually sharp-tongued, he had to call it majestic.
Then he shook his head, and Frederick began to look at the second item.
This is a book, the name is "Peter Love". Frederick was puzzled. When he opened it, a line of handwriting was revealed, which was Madefield's handwriting.
It reads:
"Dear Your Majesty, the author of this book is Peter, but I very much suspect that this book was ghostwritten by someone else. The purpose is to create a good reputation for Peter's ascension to the throne. Judging from the effect, it is undoubtedly very successful. Peter has won a huge win from the Russians.
of goodwill.
Excluding the factor of ghostwriting, I strongly recommend you to read this book. It is so amazing. It is difficult to imagine who the author is and how he was willing to give up his name. It must have been the Russian royal family who had persecuted him.
Inhuman torture, I am very indignant about it!
This is a great writer who is not inferior to Diderot and Voltaire. After reading this, I believe you will have the same feeling as me. At the same time, this unsigned author is also a tragedy in the history of literature!"
Peter E. Diderot Voltaire?
Madefield compares Peter III of that wild place in Russia to these two extremely influential men?
Frederick didn't believe it at all!
Then he began to read.
As a literary lover before becoming king, he believed that he had a high level of literary appreciation.
But as he read it, he couldn't help but be stunned.
"Layered scarlet curtains blocked my view on the right side, but on the left side were bright glass windows, which protected me from the gloomy November weather without isolating me from the outside world.
While turning the pages of the book, I occasionally looked at the scenery of the winter afternoon. In the distance, I could only see a vast white mist; nearby, there were wet lawns and shrubs hit by wind and rain. The continuous rain made a long-lasting
The miserable cold wind drove me wildly by..."
It only took a very simple paragraph to immerse him into it, and he was completely immersed in it, just like a world deep inside.
Unknowingly, Frederick looked in.
Time slowly slipped away in silence, and he turned a third of the page. The servant holding the portrait did not dare to move, and then Frederick frowned.
Finally he couldn't bear it anymore.
The content of this book is great, but there is one thing that always throws it off.
That is the name of the hero and heroine.
Peter and Sophia, are you kidding him?
Whether it was the thin Peter or the majestic Peter, he could not replace him.
As for Sophia, before Sophia left, he also met Sophia's family in order to arrange Johanna's mission, but unfortunately, he could not step in for them.
"Someone, please copy this book for me. Peter's name will be changed to Frederick, and Sophia's name will be changed to..."
After thinking about it for a moment, he realized that he didn't have any women he liked, but there was one woman he hated.
"Change it to Teresa. There is no need to keep this book. I will see the new one before sunset tomorrow!"
He really loved and admired the content of this book so much that he couldn't wait to have a perfect reading experience. He believed that it would be much better after changing the name.
Moreover, it would not be bad to please Theresa, who was the only one who dared to resist in the whole of Austria, to please him in the book.
He was even interested in giving Teresa a revised copy. I believe that little girl would be furious.
Frederick gave the order, and someone immediately went to do it. One person can copy it very slowly, but since His Majesty said that this book can be dispensed with, naturally many people can copy it together.
Then Frederick looked at the two portraits and fell into deep thought.
If Peter really wrote "Peter Love", he really suspected that he was blind. The contrast is too strong and surprising.
And he jumped off the carriage and beat the Danish envoy naked...
Even Frederick couldn't help but admire him and became interested in Peter.
Is this true? Or is it false?
If it was false, he really wanted to look at Peter differently, but at the same time he couldn't figure out why he did this.
