I weave my destiny in parallel time and space

Perhaps it was because of Char's reminder.

Ekaterina began to seek support in the political arena, first of all from the support of Prime Minister Bestuzhev.

As a mature and experienced politician, Bestuzhev clearly knew Peter's abilities.

So he knew very clearly that if Peter was allowed to take power and they were not mentioned, the whole of Tsarist Russia would not have good results.

He immediately made the goal of his action clear: when the Queen passes away, Catherine must ascend the throne.

Ekaterina still couldn't vaguely imagine the means to ascend to the throne. During this period, she was basically pushed away.

Soon, Bestuzhev was reported by two important ministers loyal to the empress. The results of the torture showed that Yekaterina tried to use Bestuzhev to achieve her own goals, and she also maintained secret correspondence with Marshal Aprakhin, who fell out of favor and was imprisoned.

This made Queen Elizabeth furious, and Bestuzhev was exiled.

But just this winter, something happened that no one expected.

Queen Elizabeth became seriously ill with pneumonia and died within a few months.

Peter succeeded to the throne and became the seventh emperor of the empire.

Although this Peter has the same name as Peter the Great, they are not the same person. His full name should be Peter III.

In the same year, Catherine's mother, the Duchess of Anhalt, also died of illness.

Catherine was devastated, so she spent some time in depression in the palace. She also learned painting and painted a portrait to place in her bedroom.

The portrait is drawn based on Char, with seven or eight sections.

As a noble, even though he has declined, he should still have some painting skills.

Xia Ya thought that she probably painted this painting in return for the portrait painting he gave her before.

However, for a place like the royal family, where power is intricate, having a portrait of a strange man in the queen's chamber is obviously a big deal.

Some rumors circulated in the palace, and even reached the ears of Peter. Peter became more and more rude to her, and the relationship turned into open hostility.

Later, it was even rumored that the crown prince Paul born to Catherine was not of Peter's blood.

When Peter heard the news, he immediately became furious and ordered Catherine to be arrested. But Peter's adjutant hesitated, and finally everyone persuaded Peter to temporarily change the order to arrest Catherine.

Later, at a state banquet, Peter uttered vulgar words in front of many domestic and foreign guests and publicly insulted Catherine.

The relationship between the two is like fire and water.

In this time and space, Russia and Germany also experienced a war similar to the Seven Years War, which came to a halt because of the war initiated by Beichen.

This state banquet was used to celebrate the signing of the contract with Prussia and Germany.

As Catherine said, the emperor was not in his right mind.

As the emperor of Russia, he particularly liked Germany, even to the point of betraying the country's interests.

During the peace talks, he even decided to give up all the fruits of victory in this war and make a separate peace with Prussia and Germany.

As a loyal fan of Prussia, Peter III's choice was reasonable, but the magnitude of his concessions was unexpected.

In order to negotiate peace, the King of Prussia sent an envoy named Henry to Russia.

Peter III had always regarded Prussia's military and political system as a model, so he could be said to obey the opinions of this peace envoy, and almost entrusted him to formulate Russia's foreign policy on his behalf.

Naturally, some ministers couldn't stand it and questioned this, but unexpectedly they were scolded and even asked to apologize to the Prussian envoy. This was undoubtedly a great humiliation.

The contract he signed with Prussia stipulated that Tsarist Russia would return all of East Prussia and all the land it had captured during the Seven Years' War. Tsarist Russia withdrew from the war and instead allied with Prussia.

As soon as the treaty came out, the entire Tsarist Russia was shocked and confused.

A treaty wiped out the efforts of all the soldiers who died in the Seven Years' War and turned the war into a ridiculous military exercise.

It can be said that there have been few such emperors throughout history.

If this were to happen in a novel, it would definitely be extremely outrageous.

But what he did in Russia in this parallel time and space, Peter III in another world also did exactly the same thing.

It actually existed in history.

Peter III's actions aroused the dissatisfaction of many people.

As early as the end of the reign of Queen Elizabeth, many ministers and generals of the imperial army realized that Peter III would not be interested in the interests of Tsarist Russia in the future, so they planned palace coups many times with the intention of deposing Peter as the crown prince.

However, these coups often failed to take place, firstly because no suitable successors were found, and secondly because of Queen Elizabeth.

The aristocratic Orlov brothers in the court, and some officers of the Izmailovo Corps and the Preabrazhensky Corps actively participated in the coup planning.

This is undoubtedly the right time, place and people for Ekaterina.

She and her people stepped up their activities in the Guards and secretly formed a group of hundreds of officers, preparing to launch a coup to overthrow Peter III and support Catherine on the throne.

Catherine did not feel afraid when faced with the threat from her husband, because she knew her own strength very well and knew that many people were dissatisfied with Peter III and were looking for opportunities to depose him, so as long as she delayed it as much as possible, she could win more Many supporters.

Later, Peter wanted to depose Catherine in order to marry a maid.

But this is obviously not in line with the rules of the Orthodox Church, and the Orthodox Patriarch bluntly opposes it.

Normal people would naturally be wary of this, but Peter III was a very childish guy. He confiscated the church's land and serfs in anger, and even planned to convert all Russians to Lutheranism.

Catherine interceded for the Orthodox Church, but was banned from the palace by Peter III. However, this move also gained the friendship of the Orthodox Church.

Later, as the war between Beichen and Europe gradually ceased, Prussia and Germany prepared to go south to unify Germany. However, due to the war with Beichen, the treasury was empty.

So they thought of their own dog-licking emperor and wanted to borrow a sum of funds.

Peter III was actually hesitant, but because of his admiration for Prussia and Germany, there were a large number of ministers from Prussia and Germany in the court. These people kept trying to persuade Peter III.

Soon, Peter III was convinced by them, but the Russian treasury was also not optimistic, so he chose to impose heavy taxes on his own citizens.

This was actually something Peter III never did in another time and space.

But it seems that the differences between Beichen and present-day Prussia and Germany have led to changes in the history of this time and space.

But in history, he actually did something similar, sending Russian troops to Prussia to help them attack Denmark.

The Russian troops who had participated in the Seven Years' War were sent to the enemy's land to protect their former enemies, fight a war that did not belong to them, and die in a foreign land.
