Chapter 14: The Great Purge (4)

Ask for collections, ask for recommendations! The weekly recommended votes have not yet exceeded 2,000, and I doubt life.

The Kremlin is surrounded by many low-rise wooden houses, lush gardens and spacious streets. After the rain, it turned into a puddle of dirty mud.

The carriage crushed through the muddy ground, leaving a clear crease, and the coachman staggered across the road with the reins, muttering muffled complaints about the poor condition of the road.

At this time, Glinsky and Belsky, the carriages of the two lords of the big family were driving side by side, and the destruction of the Andrei Shuisky family had too much impact on them, although both sides were trying their best to suppress the inner turmoil, but they still couldn't hide their joy, and at the same time, there was also a trace of uneasiness in their hearts.

The thirteen-year-old tsar easily eliminated Grand Duke Shuisky and uprooted the entire family, and the little tsar was gradually awakening, and after tasting the sweetness of power, he was afraid that he would no longer be under the joint control of the great nobles.

Belisky saw that a horse rejection had been set up far from the Kremlin, and a group of attendants had set up a checkpoint here to stop the carriages of the two Grand Dukes.

"I'm sorry, two archdukes."

The guard said apologetically, "Tonight, you can only get off here and walk into the palace." Moreover, no attendants are allowed to follow, and many things have happened recently, and the Tsar has strengthened the Kremlin's vigilance, hoping that the Grand Dukes will be more inclusive. ”

Although the two Grand Dukes looked a little displeased, the guards had already said this, and in desperation, Glinsky and Belsky only had to follow each other's instructions, step on their fur and brocade boots, and enter the Kremlin.

Belsky walked to Glinsky's left and whispered, "Tonight, the Kremlin's guards and manpower seem to be much more exaggerated than usual, and even the horses are placed outside the palace gate, and there was no such large formation before the death of Varisi III." What is this going to do, young master? ”

"The guards are not allowed to follow, the Grand Duke must enter on foot, and the Tsar is probably frightened by his bold actions, after all, Shuisky still has many henchmen in Moscow. If it is investigated, the young tsar is also afraid that these mermaids will die and break the net, and will make bold moves. ”

"Hey, hey."

Glinsky snickered and said in a low voice, "I hope that his henchmen have some backbone and can make some successful and surprising moves, and when Moscow changes its tsar, and when the demented Yuri comes to power, the whole country will be up to us." ”

They had said this kind of rebellious remarks many times behind the Tsar's back in private, but this time Belsky had a feeling of unease in his heart, and he whispered, "Actually, I am still a little worried. ”

Glinski said impatiently, "What are you worried about, how old is the Tsar now, how could he have come up with such a well-thought-out plan." It is estimated that these actions were all instigated by Tuchkov behind the tsar's back, and caught Shuysky off guard. As long as Tuchkov is removed from power, the young tsar is not our opponent at all. If he dares to resist, he can do it at any time. ”

The two walked through the empty square, but they didn't notice that behind one of the windows of the Grand Duke's dormitory, a pair of indifferent eyes were looking at the two people who were talking and laughing.

The St. George's Room is preparing for a dinner and the arrival of the Grand Dukes. It's a carnival feast of flies, attracting them with the smell of power corruption.

The door behind him was opened, and Tuchkov walked in, looking at Ivan IV, who was standing in front of the window, and replied cautiously and carefully, "Your Majesty, everything is ready." Just wait for the dinner party to begin. ”

"Wait until the dinner begins, set the Kremlin's alert to the highest level. The guests of the dinner have already appeared. ”

Napoleon turned to Tuchkov and said, "Tonight is definitely a night of surprise, and I will make it clear to them that the power of the Tsar is sacred and cannot be offended." ”

With that, Ivan IV turned and went downstairs.

As soon as Belsky and Glinsky arrived in the St. George's Room, they were told by the chamberlain that the Tsar had prepared a dinner and awaited their arrival, and the two Grand Dukes looked at each other, although they did not say anything on the surface, but still had some doubts in their hearts. In the end, however, both sides followed in the footsteps of the chamberlain and went to the dining room where the tsar received the grand dukes.

Passing through the gilded door, you are greeted by a golden living room, which is illuminated by crystal chandeliers and illuminates the entire dining room in soft tones.

Glinsky noticed that the servants had only now set up the dishes in an orderly manner and left in a hurry, indicating that the Tsar's dinner was held in a hurry. I didn't say anything on the surface, but I already had a mustard in my heart.

Every powerful duke at the table watched each other tacitly, and they all realized that it was a game of renewed power and that the seeded players, Glinsky and Belsky, who were also in the room, were at the top of the race.

They were even a little jealous as they gazed at the two Grand Dukes. Effortlessly, he took power from the Shuisky family, and everything the Tsar did was just to pave the way for the future power of the two families.

Without the greatest obstacles, their power was finally able to be redistributed.

Glinsky picked up his glass, filled it with Hungarian wine, and without waiting for the arrival of the Tsar, he planned to toast Belsky.

Anyway, in their eyes, the tsar is just a dispensable existence.

Just as Belsky was about to raise his glass, the gilded door was opened. The chattering and laughing dukes all stopped what they were doing, and Glinsky and Belsky turned their heads at the same time.

Ivan IV met the burning gaze of the powerful dukes and walked into the living room step by step. There was no cowardice, fear, and fear on his face anymore, replaced by a grim look.

It's like an ice sculpture carved with a knife in winter.

Belsky's eyes widened, and Ivan IV was followed by a resentful Shuisky, his hands in chains, and two guards escorting him to the Grand Dukes.

Under the bright crystal lamp, the iron piece around his waist is also emitting a cold cold light.

The faces of the other nobles present changed slightly, they did not know what the young tsar was going to do.

"Your Majesty."

Grand Duke Glinsky stood up, and he asked hesitantly, "Your Majesty, what are you going to do here?" ”

Ivan IV glanced at Glinsky, and he calmly replied, "Grand Duke Glinsky, did I let you speak?" ”
