Chapter 62 The big talk of Peter III, the letters of the ambassadors to the monarch
In three days, the blacksmith made a hundred lightning rods and placed them on all the main palaces of the Royal Palace. Most importantly, he sent one to the Troits Monastery and installed one in the Holy Trinity Cathedral.
Troits Monastery is relatively far away, and the most important thing to witness is the Holy Trinity Church.
Adrian rebuked this point, asking how the Virgin could strike lightning on the Holy Trinity Church.
But Peter ignored it. The lightning rod he installed for the Holy Trinity was as unique as seven onions, tall and pointed, with the appearance of overlooking the mountains and small mountains.
As long as there is thunder and lightning, there is no need to worry about getting hit.
People don't know when it will thunder and rain, and even if it thunders and rains, they are not sure whether the Virgin will actually rain thunder on the monastery, but for seven days in a row, they still watch from a distance.
Among them were many envoys from various countries stationed in Moscow.
The Danish envoy Earl Linel has always had a strong opinion of Peter since he was beaten violently, and he even sneered at this time.
Denmark is small after all, and Sweden has already accepted it, so Denmark has to accept it.
Denmark is very worried about what Russia and Sweden will do to it, so even if it sneers, it only dares to express its opinions tactfully:
"The Russian emperor said that the Virgin Mary was angry at the monastery. Doesn't that mean that what Adrian did made the Virgin dissatisfied? I think that the Patriarch of the Orthodox Church is highly respected. I visited him not long ago and I admire him deeply.
.”
The other envoys couldn't help but look askance. A Danish ambassador visiting a religious leader felt a little unprofessional.
But thinking about the situation when the Danish envoy was beaten violently by Peter, it is understandable to have such resentment.
Although he did not agree with the ambassador's visit to religious people, he still found it unbelievable that Peter said that the Virgin would bring down her wrath on the monastery.
This incident is undoubtedly a farce in Russia.
French Ambassador Breteuil has already begun writing furiously:
"Dear Your Majesty, the Russian Emperor Peter III is currently engaging in a strange trick. As an emperor, he is now at odds with the Russian state religion and wants to confiscate the Orthodox Church's properties and serfs. Behind this are Bestudev and Warren.
With Zoff’s shadow, I have to say that the influence of these two people on the emperor has increased and cannot be underestimated.”
"During the whole matter, I didn't see Queen Elizabeth express any opinions on this. She seemed to be very laissez-faire about Peter III's actions. Looking at what Peter said and did, I am even more certain that Peter E.'s book has nothing to do with him.
No matter what the relationship is, the only person who can write such a magnificent work is the Emperor."
"I don't know how this farce will end, but it will most likely end with the victory of the Orthodox Church. By then, Peter III will be disgraced and may be angry with Bestudev. This is a good thing for Prussia. I have already
I saw the secret joy on the face of the Prussian Ambassador."
"No matter how things progress, I will ensure that Russia will not ally with Britain, and I will be loyal to you, Bretey."
While the French ambassador wrote quickly and wrote a letter to Louis XV, the ambassadors from various countries were also busy writing letters to their respective monarchs on this matter.
The letter received by Queen Theresa of Austria was:
"Your Majesty the Queen, the Russian monarch has done something ridiculous again. He claims to have received the Holy Revelation from the Virgin. This is undoubtedly a huge joke. A pagan religion like the Orthodox Church will never give a Holy Revelation in any case. Only our Catholic Church is supreme.
The only religion that the whole world should believe in."
"I will report the results of this matter to you in detail for your enjoyment. At the same time, the Russian Moscow News has finished serializing Peter Eyre. It seems that new news is brewing. It has already published the story that will be serialized.
The approximate content is called "A Study in Scarlet" and it is part of Peter's Detective Collection."
"If there is new content published, I will present it to you as soon as possible."
"In addition, in order to take the reputation of his works as his own, Peter III's selfish promotion of intellectual property rights has attracted the attention of various countries. I believe that with Peter's generosity, Diderot, who was targeted by Louis XV, was already eager to
I am fully loyal to this monarch."
"Voltaire's influence cannot be underestimated. He has expressed his support for intellectual property through various channels, saying that this is a rumored great feat of the barbaric country. Voltaire's supporters have begun to use their respective relationships to prepare for it.
The decree was unanimously passed. Regarding this matter, I do not recommend that we obstruct Russia. Although this matter cannot be said to be foreign policy, because Peter is the emperor, if we obstruct it, we may arouse the anger of this absurd monarch, and the gain will not be worth the loss.
"
"It is only recommended that you express your support, your loyal subject Bernis."
King Frederick II of Prussia had read the adapted version of Peter E., and was greatly impressed by the plot. At the same time, he firmly believed that this kind of book could not have been written by Peter, but that Peter shamelessly stole a certain person who was not inferior to Peter.
The achievements of Ertai writers.
But of course he would not say such a thing out loud. He had already offended Elizabeth. Peter had newly ascended the throne and had always admired him. There was no need to make his admirers unhappy.
This is good for Russian-Prussian relations.
Frederick had a deep hope that he would not be attacked on both sides.
The Prussian ambassador to Russia, Madefield, was in a particularly good mood. Since Peter ascended the throne, no one had come to dissuade him. In order to save the Queen's face, Madefield repeatedly wrote to the Queen to express his apology for Johanna.
.
Although the Queen did not reply to his letter, this was a good sign.
Madefield was ready to continue serving the King of Prussia in Moscow and St. Petersburg.
Concerning the Holy Revelation, Madefield wrote to Frederick thus:
"I am deeply worried about the behavior of Peter III. His absurdity reassures us, but also makes us worry that the Russian monarch under the rule of Peter III is undoubtedly the best for us, weakening his already little prestige.
It’s something we shouldn’t be happy to see.”
"The news received by ambassadors from various countries is that Vorontsov and Bestudev were behind this incident. The cause was a conflict between Ivanovich, the director of the mysterious office, and a wealthy archbishop. I don't believe that Bestudev was
Such a brainless person must have some agenda."
"I will pay close attention to all the movements of the Russian military. If there is any unfavorable situation for Peter III, I will definitely find ways to inform the monarch. I hope that Bestudev will not cause trouble for us."
"I think you can already guess the outcome of this matter. It will be a pity. Your vassal Madefield."
As envoys from various countries send letters one after another, the British ambassador is no exception.
The United Kingdom is located in the British Isles in the northwest of the European continent. It is surrounded by the North Sea, the English Channel, the Celtic Sea, the Irish Sea and the Atlantic Ocean. It has no borders with any country.
