Aunt's distrust of Sophia was neither good nor bad. Peter tried to persuade her, but when he saw that his aunt had no intention of changing her mind, he gave up.
Anyway, the Crown Princess is still Sofia, so that’s fine.
Just the treatment of Johanna...
Seeing that his aunt was still angry, Peter complained that there was no maid around his aunt so that she could give her a slap in the face to relieve her anger. On the other hand, he had to try his best to make her happy.
Seeing that his aunt's anger had finally subsided and she was no longer so angry, Peter paused and said carefully:
"Auntie, do you think you can change the Orb Peace Treaty?"
Elizabeth was stunned for a moment.
In 1718, King Carl XII of Sweden died in the war against Norway, and his sister Ulrika Eleonora succeeded to the throne and became Queen of Sweden.
Ulrika Eleonora's denial of Peter I's vested interests in Sweden aroused the resentment of the Russian nobles and started Russia's war against Sweden.
Sweden's two-front war against Norway and Russia was extremely deadly, and despite Ulrika Eleonora's alliance with her old rival Britain, the British and Swedish armies were ultimately defeated by the Russian fleet.
In 1720, Ulrika Eleonora was overthrown, her husband, a foreigner with no legal inheritance, Frederick I became King of Sweden, and Russia gained the Baltic Sea through the Treaty of Nystad
The outlet to the sea.
The new Swedish king is a native of Hesse-Kassel. He originally existed as a companion king. After his wife was overthrown, the parliament was forced to elect him as king.
In 1741, when Frederick I was king, war broke out between Sweden and Russia again, and Sweden was defeated again. Just last year, it signed the Treaty of Austro-Brazil with Russia.
The Treaty of Austro-Belgium not only gave Russia all the territory east of the Kimi River in Sweden, but also gave Queen Elizabeth the power to choose the next Swedish king according to her wishes.
Originally Sweden wanted to make him King of Sweden.
But he was Queen Elizabeth's choice as the Crown Prince of Russia. The Swedish Parliament followed Queen Elizabeth's designation and chose his uncle, Adolf Frederik of Holstein-Gottorp, as the Crown Prince.
Although the current king is still Frederick I, Frederick I is a foreigner. After the defeat, all the few powers he had were taken away by the Swedish Parliament, which did not dare to offend his aunt.
And who is Adolf Frederik stipulated in the Orb Peace Treaty?
Johanna’s biological brother!
Sophia's uncle!
His former guardian!!
My aunt’s former fiancé’s biological brother!
But after Adolf Frederic arrived in Sweden, he immediately severed the relationship with his aunt, which came from his aunt's fiancé, in order to draw a clear line with Russia.
At the same time, he married Louise Ulrike, the sister of King Frederick II of Prussia.
How does this benefit Russia?
Adolf Frederick only succeeded to the throne in 1751, so it was not too late.
"Aunt, I can understand your resentment towards Johanna, but you can give her the cold shoulder and embarrass her while she is in Russia."
"As long as she trains her well, Johanna is already a person who is eager to do big things. The condition for us to ensure that she ascends to the throne is to sign a series of peace treaties, just like the former Queen Anna I. This will be more beneficial to our Russia."
?"
Elizabeth looked at her nephew blankly, as if she were meeting Peter for the first time.
As it involved such a major matter and it was her nephew's suggestion, she immediately put aside her anger.
Adolf Frederik is now only a candidate for the crown prince and has not inherited the throne. The king is still the same Frederick I, and the power is controlled by the Congress. The Congress is frightened by her. It can be said that as long as the high-level negotiations between Russia and Sweden are negotiated,
Replacing the crown prince is easy.
Adolf Frederik and his sister Johanna both had Holstein-Gottorp ancestry, and their ancestors included the kings of the three Nordic countries in the Middle Ages.
Johanna wants to become the Queen of Sweden. Although there will be criticism if she surpasses her brother, it can be suppressed. There is no problem with blood.
But the problem is...
Elizabeth said:
"Peter, how are you so sure that Johanna would be better Queen of Sweden than her brother?"
Peter smiled and said:
"Aunt, I heard that my guardian, Adolf Frederick, is currently very favored by Frederick. Frederick seems to want his sister to become the crown princess. Once he succeeds, this will not be friendly to us in Russia.
."
"Did we fight back and forth and let Frederick II take advantage?"
"Moreover, Johanna's daughter is our crown princess. She also has a young son, Frederick, and a young daughter, Elizabeth. We took these two little guys over and let them stay in Russia until they grow up. Tell John
Johanna will choose between these two as the next king of Sweden. Does Johanna have any objections?"
"Moreover, Johanna is so superficial and mindless. She is passionate about politics and is even more important than her daughter's happiness. If the Queen of Sweden has a bright future ahead of her, she will definitely be crazier than Queen Anna. What can we ask her to sign that she won't sign?"
"She doesn't care about Sweden's interests at all, she just cares about the position."
Elizabeth pondered for a moment, couldn't help but smile, pinched her nephew's face bitterly and said:
"Tell me! How long have you been planning these plots? Peter, you are so secretive!"
Forehead…
It's really hard to hide everything. After all, your body is there.
but.
"Aunt, I don't have any plans for how long. It's just a temporary idea to take advantage of the situation. If Johanna hadn't done this, my nephew wouldn't have figured it out. All of this is due to aunt."
Peter was flattering and flattering.
Anyway, he is very thick-skinned now, and he is flattering his aunt. As the queen, she is fully qualified to make him shameless.
Elizabeth thought for a while and said:
"Do you want to inform Vorontsov and Bestudev about this?"
Seeing his aunt starting to ask for his opinion, Peter's eyes flickered and he was ecstatic.
So, Saint Andre’s points are 100, is my aunt conquered by herself?
With a dry cough, Peter said:
"Aunt, you can just give the order directly on this matter. You can let Bestudev make some preliminary preparations first. He will do it if he doesn't let Frederick take advantage of it."
"As for Johanna, it's up to me to communicate with her. After all, she will stay until Sofia and I get married."
Elizabeth thought for a while and snorted coldly:
"You're so good, Peter. You've been asked to do this by a good person, but you look like a petty aunt."
"Then how can..."
Peter smiled apologetically.
With my aunt's plumpness, chicken intestines with a small belly are not enough. They are definitely dry pot fat intestines.
And it's normal for him to make a fool of himself. After all, he is the next Russian tsar and his term will be long.
His mother-in-law has become the Queen of Sweden. Isn't it right for her to be grateful to him?
After the discussion, and seeing that his aunt had no objections, Peter diligently took his arm around his aunt, took a few letters and walked outside.
Seeing His Majesty and His Highness walking out of the room, there was silence outside. Johanna Sofia was terrified, as if waiting for trial.
Elizabeth said coldly:
"Johanna, you are so disrespectful to me, and it is in vain that I was so kind and friendly to you before. You have disappointed me so much!"
Then he took the scepter, glanced at Sophia and said:
"From now on, you cannot see your daughter unscrupulously. You must inform her every time and only meet her after getting permission."
"Also, you can stay in Russia until you get married and then leave. For the sake of your daughter, this is also a dignity left for you!"
"As for you, Sophia..."
The Queen looked at Sofia, who was extremely nervous. She still didn't know what happened, but it was definitely not a trivial matter, otherwise the Queen would not be so angry.
"Your Majesty, Sophia is at your disposal. I just want to calm down your anger..."
Sophia knelt down in fear.
Elizabeth snorted coldly and said:
"Let your husband do what you want, Peter, and discipline him well. If in the future you let me hear that you are not in compliance with the rules, that you are inconsistent with your appearance, or that you have committed any of the following offenses, I will punish you!"
"Yes, Your Majesty!"
Peter immediately let go of his aunt and responded with a serious face.
Lestock was in disbelief.
Is this the end?
Can Johanna still stay until after the wedding?
The key point is, judging from the Queen’s words, why is Sophia still the Crown Princess?
This opportunity is so magical, how could you let it go so easily?
Lestock was about to speak when Peter glanced at him and suddenly said:
"Aunt, I will remember your instructions just now for the rest of my life, and I will have a good talk with my dear Sophia. However, there is one thing I won't say about this royal physician and counselor."
Elizabeth glanced at Lestock and said doubtfully:
"Tell me, what's the matter?"
Peter said calmly:
"Auntie, as a courtier, Lestock actually dared to openly roar at me as the crown prince. He has no respect for the royal family and does not distinguish between superior and inferior!"
"I think he should be exiled to Kamchatka in the Pacific or to Eastern Siberia to hunt for furs for the empire."
Elizabeth couldn't help but squinted her eyes, she looked at Lestock and said:
"Is this possible?"
"Your Majesty, no, no...!"
"You dare to say no? Sofia, Countess, and Vorontsova were all present, and the maids nearby heard it. How dare you deceive Her Majesty the Queen?"
Peter snapped.
Countess Roman and Vorontsova looked confused. They had arrived late and had no idea what was going on. But since His Highness said so, it was fine for them to remain silent.
Looking at the maids and guards who were looking over, Lestock suddenly turned pale and sat down on the ground. He looked at the Queen with a pale face and prayed:
"Your Majesty, please consider that I can accompany you to the palace at night..."
Elizabeth sighed and said:
"Peter, just watch and deal with it."
"Yes, aunt."
After helping his aunt back to her room to rest, Peter came out and looked at Lestock.
What if he goes into the palace at night and launches a coup with his aunt?
Although the Marquis de La Chatadier was not involved at the time, he did contribute a lot behind the scenes in that coup. But now that he dares to secretly slander his aunt, wouldn't he be expelled?
"Here comes someone! Send the Royal Physician and Counselor to Eastern Siberia!"
"You must pay at least ten white fox skins, five hundred kilograms of potatoes, and three old hens a year, or you will be exiled for life!"
