079 The lure of Ivan IV
"Your Majesty, do you need me to back off?" The chief maid said with excitement in her eyes, she didn't need to know what Ivan IV was going to discuss with Georgy Konstantinovich, she just had to tell her master, the regent, Jonov. There will be a hundred ways to play Georgy Konstantinovich, who has no personal force but no roots.
The only civilian-born leader of the Silver Knights, the supreme glory in the eyes of civilians and soldiers, in the eyes of the real boyar nobles, is just a good battle chess piece, although the Silver Knights can stimulate fighting spirit, with one enemy hundred, but under the siege of the military array, it is just a matter of how much time to last.
In this era, extraordinary individual strength is far from being comparable to the army, and there is not even the qualification to talk on an equal footing, no matter how capable of fighting personal force, in the end they either choose to become a thug pawn in the hands of the upper class bigwigs, or become a gangster who is hanged to disturb the peace!
"No, no, no, you don't need to leave, I can keep you here forever and listen to my next plans." With a smile on his lips, Ivan IV swept away the previous wincing expression, and slowly approached the head maid with a puzzled expression.
"Your Majesty, you ......"
Puff~~~
The unsuspecting maid had round eyes, and subconsciously looked down at Ivan IV, who was no taller than her, and pulled out a sharp dagger out of nowhere, and plunged it into her heart with precision.
The beating heart suddenly stopped, the head maid could not even make a cry for help, she could not understand how Ivan IV dared to kill her!
She is the Regent Jonov. Everyone knows that killing the head maid is equivalent to declaring war on the Shuivsky family, so the head maid can't figure out where the powerless and powerless Tsar Ivan IV has the confidence to kill her......
Didn't Ivan IV know how his mother died?
Ivan IV's mother, who was in power at the time, was poisoned in the Kremlin, and now the powerful Schuivsky family wants to kill a powerless Tsar, all they need is to take on some troublesome aftermath.
With a sharp push of his right hand, Ivan IV pushed the dead body of the chief maid down in the corner of the wall, calmly wiped the sharp close-fitting dagger in his hand, raised his eyes and said to Georgy Konstantinovich: "Your Excellency, I wonder if my behavior can reassure you to carry out our plan?" ”
Georgy Konstantinovich held the hilt of his sword, his eyes flashed with surprise, complexity and ambition, and nodded: "It seems that no one will believe in killing Joonov's henchmen with my own hands in front of my eyes, but my majesty, I am a carefree knight of the Silver Radiant, and I can escape from Moscow City before Jonov reacts." ”
Ivan IV replied with a warm smile: "Of course, I don't doubt the strength of His Excellency Georgi Konstantinovich, but the reason why you are willing to come here to see me today already shows that you are eager for the success of my plan, isn't it?"
Your Excellency the Silver Knight, this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, the opportunity for the Konstantinovich family to rise and rise, the kind of people like Jonov don't understand the power of the Silver Knight like you, they believe in the army and artillery too much, I can give them what they can't give or don't want to give. ”
Georgy Konstantinovich shook his head slightly: "I know too well the discipline of your boyars, I can't believe the promise you gave me based on a few words from you, once this matter is successful, you will be a veritable tsar, and everything I have to rely on your words." ”
Ivan IV took out a letter of appointment from his bosom and handed it to Georgy Konstantinovich and said: "This is the certificate of knighthood of Boris Fedorovich Godunov for promotion to the rank of Grand Duke, and at the same time appointing him as the commander of the Moscow Praetorian Guard!"
Moreover, I will ask the loyal Grand Duke Mstislavsky, Zakhalin Yuryev of the Romanov family, and Grand Duke Belsky to cooperate with you to cleanse the 'disloyal' Grand Knights of the Grand Knights in the Grand Knights first, and help you completely control the Grand Knights!
Oh yes, the great knights who are loyal to these three families will officially break away from the Grand Knights after helping you eradicate dissidents, and I will give you a Grand Knights who are completely loyal to you personally, I know that during the days when you were elected as the head of the Grand Knights, you have also developed a lot of brothers in life and death, as long as you eradicate the hands of those Duma nobles and regents, it will not be a problem for you to master them. ”
Georgy Konstantinovich took the letter of appointment from Ivan IV, and after confirming that the seal on it was indeed valid, he glanced at Ivan IV meaningfully and said: "I didn't expect that such a mascot-like existence of me would make Your Majesty spend so much effort to investigate, and even you know about Boris Fedorovich Godunov."
I have received your sincerity, but I dare not guarantee the smooth operation of the plan, Your Majesty, you also know that the Shuivsky family not only controls most of the Kremlin guards, but also controls the militia city defense battalion of the entire Moscow City, which is a force of several thousand people, and when it is launched, I will also cleanse the external enemies inside the Grand Knights, and I will not be able to help you at all, once the Shuivsky family launches the militia city defense camp, we will be all finished! ”
"Haha, Your Excellency Georgi, please rest assured, the Shuivsky family is not monolithic, Jonov is too desperate, I don't know how many people want him to die without a place to be buried, and there are no shortage of smart people in the Shuivsky family, naturally we can see that Jonov's good life is not long, and he has left a way back for himself, this time our goal is just the descendants of the Shuivsky family, as long as we eradicate Jonov as soon as possible, we can grasp all the initiative!"
Georgi Konstantinovich frowned and asked, "Your Majesty, what else do you need me to do?" ”
Ivan IV pointed to the corpse of the chief maid on the ground, and spread his hands helplessly: "I'm very sorry, in order to express my 'sincerity', in less than three hours, the palace guards loyal to Shuivsky are likely to arrest me, so ......"
"Well, Your Majesty, you're not going to let me kill you......" Georgi Konstantinovich asked with a look of disbelief.
