Second, I want to collect and recommend!

Compared to the time-travelers, the historical Ivan IV is much more merciful. Although he also participated in the brutal expedition of the nobles to beat the villagers and forcibly recruit women, he never settled the life of his family in the political struggle of the court.

However, the travelers who looked at Ivan IV with a historical perspective did not see this history that way.

All the great nobles were corrupt in the way of the rise of Tsarist Russia, squandering the Kremlin treasury to enrich their own pockets, exploiting the serfs under Tsarist rule, and even sacrificing their daughters' first night rights to their slave owners.

Ivan IV had much more to do than make so few reforms in history.

A benevolent monarch breeds a bunch of incompetent and stupid traitors, and those who have been educated in Machiavelli's "Monarchy" are fully aware that a brutal emperor is far more stable than a virtuous and benevolent monarch. Especially when it comes to managing a herd of grey animals, tyranny is the lubricant that moves the course of history forward.

When Ivan IV arrived at the gate of the Shuisky residence, the prince of Shuisky at this time also happened to arrive at the militia regiment. He jumped out of the carriage in a hurry, ignoring the mud under his feet

It was Yusorov who came out to greet Grand Duke Shuisky, who at this time did not notice that Yusorov's face was even more pale than his. He walked up to Shuisky with a gloomy face, and the militia groups around him also surrounded him one after another.

"My brother, now I need help."

Shuisky hurriedly explained to Yusorov, "Tsar Ivan IV killed my son, and if we don't do it now, the whole family will be wiped out." The Tsar is not just trying to deal with me now, he wants to wipe out our entire family. If I die, you won't be able to avoid being wiped out. For the sake of the Shuisky family, and even more so for your own sake, help me! ”

"How can I help you?"

Yusorov had a very cold attitude, and Shuisky mistakenly thought that the other party did not believe in him. He hurriedly explained, "This matter is very urgent, and I want you to immediately mobilize the militia into the Kremlin to surround the Tsar's bedchamber." I would kill Ivan IV with poison, and then announce the sudden death of the Tsar and prop up his mentally handicapped brother Yuri to power. In this way, the Shuisky family became firmly in control of the entire country. ”

After listening to Shuisky's bold explanation, Yusorov only shook his head with great regret, and he sighed and said, "My brother, do you know how I am different from you? ”

"The tsar promised not to hold our family accountable for their involvement in this conspiracy."

Andrei Shuisky didn't quite know what he was talking about, but the tent behind him was lifted, and his political rival Tuchkov was clapping and walking towards him.

"Very honest confession, Grand Duke Shuisky, you know that what you have just said has already confirmed your charges of treason. Ivan will never let you go. ”

"You betrayed me! You betrayed the entire Shuisky family. ”

Shuisky roared, trying to rush forward to pounce on Yusorov, but was stopped by the guards beside him. They clamped the Grand Duke by the shoulders and pinned him to the ground.

Most of Shuisky's face was sunk in the mud, and his eyes were still fixed on Tuchkov not far away.

"I will always be loyal to His Majesty the Great Tsar."

Yusorov presented a small sycophant to Tuchkov and was also courting the tsar.

However, Tyuchkov ignored the other side, Yusorov was no longer worthless, and now he arrested one of the princes whom Ivan IV hated the most.

"It seems that our Grand Duke didn't figure out why he was arrested until he died. By the way, Ivan IV asked me to tell you something so that you can figure out why he has been trying to put you to death. ”

"The Shuisky family and Varisi III, now His Majesty Ivan, are also descendants of the illustrious Grand Duke Novgorod, and you do not covet a close minister who will be the king, but is ready to replace him. In order to clear the way, Terepnev was thrown into prison, Ivan's wet nurse Agrafina was exiled to the monastery, and the tsar's only relative was taken away. You treat the young Tsar like a passerby and a beggar, and enjoy no freedom, and Prince Ivan Shuisky even dared to lay down with his legs on the bed of the former king. You took off his crown at the court ceremony, stripped him of his robes and his jeweled leather robes, and rudely drove him back to the harem, where you robbed Ivan IV of the treasures, melted down the gold and silver, made tableware, and engraved the coats of arms of your respective families. In front of the Tsar, you skinned the noble lord Mishulin alive and cut off his head. ”

Tuccikov bitterly counted the crimes committed by the great lords of the nobility in front of the young tsar over the years, and revealed mercilessly, "He remembers what you have done, that it was you who taught the young lord God to be with poison, the gallows, and the sword." All this is the end of your own sin, no wonder Your Majesty. ”

Shuisky's crime was replaced by the previous king Varisi III, who has now been skinned several times. Yet he remained unrepentant.

The unwilling Shuysky said to the vicious curse of Tuchkov in front of him, "Count me unlucky, broken in the hands of a child, but you remember to me, the Shuisky family will not let you go, as long as our blood is still there, revenge will not stop." You wait for me! ”

As if he had heard a funny joke, Tuccikov viciously humiliated the prisoner in front of him.

"I forgot to tell you the bad news, just as you left the mansion, Ivan IV was already on his way to your house with the Guards. What is he going to do, I don't think I need to explain more, right? Do you really think that the tsar, full of hatred, will leave a blood line for your family? ”

Hearing this, Grand Duke Shuisky's face turned pale, and he howled angrily, trying to break free. Yusorov, who was standing on the sidelines, was apprehensive and glad that he had made the right choice.

"Let go of me!"

"I won't let you go! I won't let you go! ”

"I curse all of you."

"I'm waiting in hell!"

Tuchkov, who had turned to leave, heard this and stopped. He turned his head sideways, half-squinted his eyes, and said something incomprehensible to Shuysky, who was cursing incessantly.

"Stupid Shuisky, haven't you figured out the facts yet?"

"Hell? He's Dante's hell! ”
