The pampered Grand Duke could not stand the wind and the sun and was far behind the pace of the advance of the tsarist guards. By the time they reached the city gates, the Tsar and his guards had already entered early.

"Where is Your Majesty now?"

Glinsky hurriedly asked the attendants around him, and the answer was that the Grand Duke of Novgorod had followed Ivan IV into the city, but instead of going to the banquet hall, they first visited the Yuryev Monastery.

The Tsar was known to be a devout Christian, so no one else had any objection to such a proposal, but Glinsky always felt that something was wrong in his heart, and he hurried in the direction of the Yuryev Monastery, where Novgorod was an important card in his hand.

Hopefully, things won't go the way he intended.

The Yuryev Monastery, where the Tsar resembles a devout believer, walked into this fresco of the Georgi Church on all walls. From the walls to the ceiling, there are exquisite portraits, which are still shiny and bright after hundreds of years of wind and rain. The angels and the Virgin Mary on the reliefs are vividly depicted.

Ivan IV walked slowly to the statue of the Crucifixion, his left hand holding the special scepter, his eyes fixed on the cross.

Tuchkov stood behind Ivan IV, his gaze did not hit the icon, but gathered on the scepter in Ivan IV's left hand, and the "tsar's minions" in his hand were not for decoration, and Tuchkov firmly remembered what Ivan IV said.

Crush their heads.

The Novgorod Grand Duke followed Ivan IV, and to his surprise, the peasants who followed the Tsar were also allowed to enter the church on an exceptional basis.

"Kurisov."

Ivan suddenly spoke, "You said before that the Grand Duke of Novgorod forced you to pay taxes and miscellaneous taxes, and even forced you to build fortifications, without paying any compensation, and forced many people to die of exhaustion, right?" ”

"Yes. The entire population of Novgorod hated him to the core. We are looking forward to the arrival of His Majesty, which is ......"

Ivan IV interrupted Kurisov's words with a wave of his hand, and replied simply, "Got it." ”

When the Grand Duke Novgorod heard this, his face turned pale, he looked at the tsar in front of him and vaguely guessed something. With the sound of the door closing behind him, the door of the monastery had been closed by the attendants, cutting him off inside.

At this time, there were only four people left in the entire church.

Ivan IV said, "I ask you, are you afraid of death?" ”

"I'm not afraid of death."

Kurisov shook his head firmly, he was ready to say goodbye when he went to the tsar to complain to the emperor, even if he was punished by the angry tsar, he would seek justice for the Novgorod peasants.

"Okay."

The tsar turned around and said to the Grand Duke of Novgorod behind him, "Do you have anything else to explain?" ”

Grand Duke Novgorod hurriedly defended himself and said, "Nonsense, Your Majesty, you must not believe what this deceitful villain said, he has not said a word of truth!" ”

"Who is lying, will I have no bottom in my heart?"

The Grand Duke of Novgorod took two steps back, looked at the Tsar approaching him with a frightened expression, and fell to his knees in a hurry.

A man in his forties kneeling in front of a teenager can only be done by a young tsar.

He has awakened the demon that sleeps within.

"Sorry, it's late."

Ivan IV raised his club and smashed it into the head of the Grand Duke of Novgorod without a sound. Suddenly blood splattered.

The bloody scene of the spraying startled the peasants Kurisov and Tyukov, who were standing on the side, neither of them expected that Ivan IV would actually knock the tip of the scepter into the head of the Grand Duke, and the nail pierced his skull, leaving blood on his cheeks.

The Grand Duke of Novgorod knelt down, and he looked at Ivan IV in front of him with an expression of disbelief. Almost without warning, the mace struck him on the head.

The Grand Duke fell to the ground, his limbs still twitching in pain, blood staining the church floor.

He felt colder and colder, and his consciousness slowly became blurred by the constant loss of blood. But there are still words in his mouth.

"Your Majesty......"

Tuchkov was about to speak, but was rudely interrupted by Ivan IV.

"Shut up, Tuchkov."

He watched with great admiration as the Grand Duke Novgorod lay in a pool of blood, the scarlet blood sticking to his right eye, unable to open it. The Grand Duke of Novgorod tried to stand up, but was trampled under the feet of the tsar.

Ivan IV said calmly, "Do you really think that I don't know about your dealings with Grand Duke Glinsky after other events?" Do you know why I chose Novgorod as my first stop? It's to find out the traitors who are not loyal to the Kremlin. Grand Duke Novgorod, you are to blame for your fate today. Before you die, I will say one more thing by the way, those who cooperate with you, I will pull them all out without leaving a spare and hang them on the street lamp. ”

"Your Majesty, don't kill me!"

The Grand Duke of Novgorod was still making his last struggle, but Ivan IV shook his head directly, extinguishing the last shred of hope.

"I just said it, it's late."

Ivan IV raised his scepter, and the tip of the scepter struck down on the head of the Grand Duke of Novgorod, directly smashing a pit. He lifted the scepter again and continued to hammer it down on his head.

The sound of the Tsar's murder echoed throughout the church, and the white statue of the Virgin Mary was cast a bloody shadow. Kurisov had collapsed to the ground in fright, he had never seen such a tsar - his expression was as hideous as that of a devil, and the tip of the scepter in his hand fell high without hesitation.

The people of the earth were already unconscious, and Ivan IV continued. Until the person lying on the ground does not move again.

By this time, Ivan IV's face was already covered with blood, and he walked up to Kurisov and handed the scepter to the other party. Then he patted the other person on the shoulder. By this time, Kurisov was already frightened, he had never seen a young tsar with a murderous nature, and Tuchkov beside him just couldn't bear to look directly and turned his head to the other side.

The Tsar did not speak, turned and walked towards the door, where he pushed open the closed door of the church. Facing a group of stunned attendants and priests of the monastery, he wiped the blood on his face with his hand.

He pointed to the already frightened peasants behind him, and said calmly, "Kurisov assassinated the Grand Duke of Novgorod, the evidence is conclusive, take him down." ”
