Chapter 66: The Citizens of Moscow Kneel to Praise the Name of His Majesty, and the Austrian Minister Wants the Artifact
Early the next morning, news spread throughout the streets of Moscow that thunder and lightning struck the Holy Trinity Monastery.
The source of the rumor was the few citizens who gathered around Holy Trinity Monastery and the staff of the Privy Council.
Adrian was not happy for this to come out. He could make an agreement with some ambassadors, but it would be binding on the citizens who were eager to show off, and on the Privy Council who were not under the jurisdiction of the church.
What is even more surprising is that not only the Holy Trinity Monastery was struck by lightning during the heavy rain that day, but also a place in the highlands that was often struck by lightning.
Because that place was struck by lightning, the buildings had long been damaged and no one was repairing them.
Originally, no one paid attention to this place, but not long ago, the palace sent craftsmen to install the artifact mentioned by His Majesty, which aroused the curiosity of nearby residents, so they looked up and paid attention to it when there was a thunder.
But what surprised them was that although the building was no longer struck by lightning, when the weather improved, they went up to look and found that the building was still the same as before the thunder.
This was incredible to them, so they told everyone they met.
When coupled with what happened at the Holy Trinity Monastery, the citizens of Moscow were all shocked. Was it really His Majesty's artifact that worked?
The design method of His Majesty's artifact was given by the Virgin Mary.
For a time, countless people bowed in the direction of the palace and chanted His Majesty's name.
This was what Nedela with the red armband and Barbaria with the white armband saw when they were working. They knelt down without hesitation and praised His Majesty together.
Such a miracle ignited a fire in their already enthusiastic hearts for His Majesty, and they were willing to die for His Majesty!
At this time, Peter was having afternoon tea with his aunt in the palace.
After hearing the report, Queen Elizabeth was shocked. She looked at Peter blankly and said in disbelief:
"Peter, is this really the Holy Revelation sent down for you by the Holy Mother?"
Looking at his aunt's surprised look, Peter now had two choices.
One is to say yes, to trick his aunt into being in awe of him, and then to follow his advice.
The first is to tell the truth to the aunt, so that the aunt and her aunt and nephew can be filial, creating a harmonious atmosphere in the palace, and at the same time letting the aunt appreciate the warmth of the family, which is what the aunt has always longed for after suffering various personal hardships.
Peter chose the latter.
He waved his hand and signaled the serving maids to step back, and asked Polya to go out and guard the door outside. Then he smiled at his aunt and said:
"Aunt, this is not Shengqi. Listen to me tell you in detail..."
After talking for more than an hour, my aunt's mood changed from surprise, to astonishment, to shock, and then to relief.
She held Peter in her arms and said:
"Peter, I am very pleased that you can explain this matter to your aunt so clearly. Outside you are an emperor, but in her heart, you are her treasure."
Peter smiled and said nothing. After enjoying the warmth of his aunt and nephew, he told his aunt to keep it a secret and left his aunt's palace.
"Your Majesty, Count Bernis, the Austrian minister, wishes to see you!"
Peter had just returned to the palace and did not see Ekaterina. He knew that she was busy with the newspaper office, and then heard Mirkovsky's announcement.
Bernice?
The minister's rank was higher than that of the ambassador. Thinking of the lightning strike that had just occurred, Peter couldn't help but smile slightly, and he roughly guessed the purpose of the minister's visit.
"Ask him to wait in the main hall."
Peter spoke.
Meeting people at the place where he and Ekaterina lived was the kind of treatment only reserved for people who were extremely close and trusted.
Then Peter packed up and headed to the main hall.
The main hall was splendid and magnificent, and Count Bernis was restless.
After what happened yesterday, he immediately thought of the possible major impact.
As long as Russia does not form an alliance with Prussia, he does not care what disturbances are caused in Russia, but what happened yesterday was too shocking.
Peter III now believes in the Orthodox Church. Peter said that the Holy Mother of the Orthodox Church gave him the Holy Revelation. If that was just the case, no one would take it seriously. After all, anyone can say that they have received the Holy Revelation.
But on the seventh day, lightning struck the famous Holy Trinity Monastery, and the monastery was unscathed by such dense lightning. This is unjustifiable.
Only miracles.
But if this is a miracle, the Russian Orthodox Church has performed miracles. It is so conclusive, but what about Austria?
Austria is Catholic.
Orthodox Christians all have miracles, but Catholics don’t?
Bernis also heard that Russia had begun arranging painters to paint the grand scene of that night. When he thought of the portrait of the archbishop who had sworn to oppose Peter, repenting and kneeling under thunder and lightning, with lightning above his head, Bernis felt restless.
This incident will obviously have an impact on the pious Queen Theresa and the faith of Austria.
Moreover, the problem could not be solved by looking for Bestudev, so he came to meet Peter III without hesitation.
Soon, Peter arrived, followed by Mirkovsky and the original guard team.
Mirkovsky followed him into the main hall and stood guard not far from Peter. The other guards stood guard outside the hall.
These guards are not all affiliated with the famous Preabrazhensky Corps, but they are already quite famous now.
After all, they followed Emperor Peter when he was the crown prince, and now that His Majesty has ascended the throne, the tide has risen even more.
After Peter sat down, he glanced at Bernis. Bernis was a middle-aged man in his forties, with a mustache and brown eyes full of wisdom.
Before coming, Peter got to know Bernice in more detail.
This is a very smart man. According to Austria's original history, even if Austria's strength has declined, it can still stand among the five major powers in Europe by virtue of its foreign policy. His ability to deceive people in diplomacy has made a great contribution.
Austrian diplomats cleverly hide the fact that Austria is in decline and only show their strong side to foreign countries.
This created an illusion for the four major countries, Britain, France, Russia, and Prussia, so Austria was able to rank alongside these four countries.
Prussia is not yet a powerful country, but according to historical trajectory, under the leadership of Frederick, it will obviously enter.
Peter motioned for Bernis to take a seat, smiled at him and said:
"Count Bernis, I wonder why you ask to see me?"
Bernice looked at Peter and couldn't help but sigh in his heart. Now he couldn't see through his Majesty.
What the news shows is that the power of the government is now mainly in the hands of Bestudev, and Vorontsov also has a part, but Peter seems to have been sidelined.
Moreover, the envoys from various countries also understood the absurdity of Peter when he was the crown prince, but he received the Holy Enlightenment.
And the Holy Spirit really showed up.
This had to make him re-evaluate the influence of this ridiculous emperor.
Even though he is still ridiculous, no one dares to regard him as the Peter he was before.
"Your Majesty, I ask you to grant Austria the honor of allowing us to have a miracle of not destroying a house struck by lightning in the name of our faith.*
Bernis asked tentatively.
He wanted the divine artifact that was revealed to Peter by Our Lady.
