078 Kremlin conspiracy
In the residence of the Tsar in the Kremlin in Moscow, Tsar Ivan IV, who had just held a coming-of-age ceremony, sat in the bedroom in a golden robe, quietly rubbing the newly made scepter in his hand, which was inlaid with a precious gem the size of a fist, which was the small inheritance left by Ivan IV's dead mother.
It was not the existence of Ivan IV's mother, who had succeeded the tsar of the Grand Duchy of Moscow, who was so poor that she left only one jewel to her son, but because most of the inheritance had already been stolen by the family of the regent, Shuivsky, and if it were not for the fact that the jewel was too conspicuous, it would not have fallen into the hands of the young Ivan IV at that time.
"Your Majesty, you've been sitting here for an hour, are you waiting for someone to arrive?" The chief maid standing on the side seemed to be respectful, but her demeanor was full of arrogance, although Ivan IV was a tsar, his rights were just a spectacle.
Ivan III's regent assistant system, except for the Shuivsky family, the other six courtiers were either degraded or killed in the political turmoil, and now the patriarch of the Shuivsky family, the head of the family. Shuivsky did not take this Kremlin master seriously at all, and if it were not for the restraint of the Grand Duma Noble Council, Jonov. Shuivsky even dared to usurp power and put on the cloak of tsar!
Among the European countries, the political system of the Russians is the closest to that of the ancient countries of the East, and they are the most unscrupulous in the struggle for power, and it is not uncommon for them to mutiny, use military power to eliminate dissidents, and kill entire families.
Ivan IV's founding fathers actually made their fortunes on the mutiny, a tradition that has been preserved in the Grand Duchy of Moscow.
Ivan IV's childhood was largely spent in a political tussle between his mother, courtiers, and regents, and since Ivan IV watched his own mother being poisoned to death, he became reticent.
Until now, even a pawn sent to Ivan IV's side, a headmaid with no status, a dog of the Shuivsky family, dared to look down arrogantly in front of His Majesty Tsar Ivan IV.
Because the head maid knew very well that as long as Jonov. Shuivsky did not nod, no one could remove her position of serving Ivan IV in the court, and her mission was to keep a close eye on Ivan IV's every move!
Obviously, the abnormal behavior of Ivan IV today aroused the suspicion of the chief maid, and the chief maid, who did not have the slightest reverence for the tsar, directly asked.
Ivan IV took a deep breath after hearing the words of the chief maid who did not care about his identity, and the depths of his eyes flashed with hysterical resentment.
However, the more resentful he was, the calmer Ivan IV became on the surface, and even showed a hint of fear: "A distinguished guest will arrive today, and I need to wait." ”
After hearing this, the head maid rolled her eyes slightly, smiled and didn't say anything, she was also very curious about who came here today, maybe this is her chance to make meritorious contributions.
The chief maid wished that Ivan IV would have more contact with those magnates, so that Jonov. The Regent of Schuivsky will know who will be his next target!
The ruthless Joonov. Shuivsky had completely offended most of the boyars of Moscow (the real great aristocracy of Russia), and he was like a ruthless lone wolf, keeping a cunning eye on the movements around him, and while he enjoyed his unique rights, he was afraid that the boyars around him would suddenly jump out and replace him, as if he had killed the other regents.
With a sonorous clash of iron armor, a young man dressed in the full armor of a noble knight shining with silver glittered pushed open the door to the room where Ivan IV was.
The guards who had been guarding outside, when they saw the young man's face, cast respectful and adoring glances, and let him enter Ivan IV's room without hindrance.
This is not only because Tsar Ivan IV does not have many rights nowadays, but the fact that this young man can enter the Kremlin Tsar's residence fully armed is inseparable from his transcendent status.
He is the current head of the Grand Knights of Moscow, the only legend in the entire Grand Duchy of Moscow who has grown all the way to the orthodox Grand Knight of Silver as a mere commoner - Georgy Konstantinovich.
Since he was not from any of the great Muscovite noble families and had no roots in the Grand Duchy of Moscow, he could always be out of the way and enjoy his own glory, but he had no rights at all!
If you want to say who is most similar to the current tsar in Moscow, it is undoubtedly this Georgy Konstantinovich Silver Knight, who has the position of the head of the Grand Knights, and it is only a great knight that can only be commanded when fighting abroad, because the big knights in the Grand Knights basically belong to the people of various noble families, and even many of the big knights themselves are the sons of the boyar nobles.
Poor literature and rich martial arts have been the truth since ancient times, only the wealthy boyar nobles have the advanced self-cultivation techniques handed down from ancient times, have a large number of natural materials and earth treasures to supplement the needs of physical cultivation, and can also hire old qualified silver knights to give one-on-one guidance!
It can be said that it is difficult for the civilian class, even the ordinary knight class, and the small and medium-sized aristocratic class to cultivate to the real great knight-level physical martial realm, and the dependence of martial arts cultivation on external conditions is too great.
It is precisely because of this that Georgy Konstantinovich, who was promoted to the rank of Silver Knight as a civilian, was truly recognized by those low-level soldiers, and admired from the bottom of his heart, and he shone like a national hero in the city of Moscow.
The boyar nobles need his force, give him glory and wealth, and even more need him to be neutral, in the position of the head of the Grand Order of Knights with intricate and powerful forces, only this baseless Georgy Konstantinovich sits in that position, and the boyar nobles in the Duma Grand Noble Council will really rest assured.
The chief maid was very surprised by the arrival of Georgi Konstantinovich, but after the accident it was a surprise that could not be concealed, the head of the Grand Knight met the powerless Tsar in private, she knew very well what this news meant for her master, and the time had come for her meritorious service!
