Because of the archbishop's relationship, Lev Milanovich also got to know many ladies of the upper class, and these ladies all cast their trusting eyes on such a young and polite priest.
In this way, Lev Milanovich was often asked by ladies to take their daughters or nieces to the monastery where they were staying.
This was how Lev Milanovich's reputation began.
Later, in a sermon, Lev Milanovich carefully prepared a sermon that was novel enough to shock everyone.
Not surprisingly, he was unanimously praised by the upper class.
In the gift bag dedicated to the missionary, he received a full thirty gold Chervin coins, 750 rubles!
This made Lev Milanovich ecstatic and couldn't help shouting in his heart, being a preacher is indeed the fastest earning profession.
But he did not forget his goal, which was to become a missionary in Rostov.
Although it is far away from Moscow, it is more comfortable and comfortable.
On this day, Lev Milanovich went to the Archbishop's mansion again, hoping to achieve his goal.
But what puzzled him was that the archbishop who should be enjoying life here at this time was not here.
"Where is the Archbishop?"
Lev Milanovich asked a servant.
Seeing that he was a close guest of the archbishop, the servant did not hide it and replied:
"The bishop first read a letter, and then went out very angry, saying he was going to the Privy Council."
Lev Milanovich was in a daze. Why did the Archbishop go to the Privy Council?
He had no choice but to wait here.
While waiting, I thought about my bright future.
In Moscow, after all, he is still a clergyman and does not dare to act recklessly, but if he leaves here, he can also learn from the priest who exorcises demons.
But just when he was imagining the wonderful prospects, news suddenly came that Archbishop Mezyevich, who was in charge of the Rostov Diocese, was detained by the mysterious office!
Lev Milanovich was very shocked.
How dare the mysterious office detain the archbishop?
He couldn't believe it!
He didn't know what happened, but no matter what, he couldn't stay here anymore. But just when he was about to go out, a group of guards walked in and took everyone here away without saying a word, including him.
Lev Milanovich shouted in panic:
"Excuse me, what crime have I committed and why are you arresting me? I am a noble! I am a monk!"
The guards turned a deaf ear to Lev Milanovich's shouts, and some even gave him sneers and threatening expressions.
Lev Milanovich did not dare to speak out anymore.
…
In the Moscow Imperial Palace, a palace where the archbishop fell in love with the girl Ymel was seriously making a report to Ivanovich.
Everything is detailed, every bit about Archbishop Mezyjevich.
“Well done.”
Ivanovich smiled appreciatively.
As the director of the mysterious office, stealing intelligence from all over the place is his official job. Compared with being the vice president of Notre Dame, he prefers the work of the mysterious office.
Then Ivanovich left here and walked to a palace.
"Your Majesty, I send you my regards."
Ivanovich saluted Peter.
"Oh, Ivanovich, you are here. The Patriarch has been here for a long time. Tell me, why did you arrest that respectable Archbishop?"
Peter seemed to see the Virgin Mary's decree for the first time, and smiled as he read it.
"Your Majesty, this archbishop is guilty. He has no pious reverence for the priesthood he holds. He is greedy for pleasure, addicted to women, and has no sincerity for the cause of the church. Moreover, he dares to contradict Your Majesty in front of the important ministers of the Privy Council, saying that Your Majesty and
The Queen’s decree of Our Lady is nonsense.”
Ivanovich's answer made Adrian, who came over, furious.
He really jumped up and waved the staff in his hand. His thick white beard trembled with his movements, as if he was going to hit someone.
But here one was the emperor and the other was the mysterious office director. Adrian finally slammed the staff on the ground and said angrily:
"What nonsense! Ivanovich, you are the one who is telling nonsense!"
Although Adrian couldn't attack Ivanovich directly, he just scolded him.
Then he said to Peter:
"Your Majesty, Ivanovich arrested Metzjevich but did not let him tell the truth. Now it is all his one-sided words. Metzjevich is the archbishop. The news of his arrest spread out and let the people of Russia
What do we think of the church?”
"I just came from the Queen. The Queen wants you to treat the Russian state religion seriously and not to act arbitrarily."
"oh?"
Peter raised his eyebrows and said, "Patriarch, you must have added the second half of the sentence."
Adrian blushed. He didn't expect that Peter could be picked out by just saying casually. This was outrageous.
After coughing dryly and not saying anything, Peter closed the Holy Mother's Law and said:
"Ivanovich arrested him, what does this have to do with me?"
"Furthermore, although it is the Queen's words, you expect me to treat the state religion seriously. Am I not being serious? I have already joined the Orthodox Church."
Adrian was a bit big-headed. He didn't want to say more about the person who wet his bed, and just grabbed the most important points and said:
"Your Majesty, please let Mecijevich go. This is a man who is willing to sacrifice everything for the Orthodox Church. He is an extremely devout believer. No matter what the reason, Ivanovich has arrested the wrong person!
"
Seeing Adrian's vow, Peter couldn't help but sigh.
Adrian himself was pretty good, he was clean and clean, well, he was honest and clean, but he looked down too high on other clergymen.
"Since the Patriarch has determined that Ivanovich has arrested the wrong person, then I will accompany the Patriarch to find out what is going on?"
"Patriarch, please."
Peter stood up and let Adrian go first very respectfully.
Adrian hesitated, but walked out first.
Ivanovich didn't say much about this.
After all, in Russia, the Orthodox Church has a respected status, and the Patriarch is even more transcendent.
Then Peter smiled and said to Ivanovich:
"You didn't torture the archbishop, did you?"
Ivanovich said respectfully:
"Your Majesty, there is no punishment. I just ask him to sit in a limited space, calm down, and not say anything he shouldn't say."
Peter chuckled and said, "He should say it. The more he talks, the better. I don't want him to be calm."
"Let's go and see this restless man. I hope he won't disappoint me."
Then Peter held the decree of the Virgin behind his back, walked briskly, and soon caught up with the Patriarch.
Then he smiled and asked whether he was in good health, how was his sleep, and whether he had any dreams or received any holy revelations.
