2048 Princess of Public Trial
It turned out that among the people who walked in, the person in the front was Princess Elelovna's master servant, who had the highest status among all the attendants, equivalent to the leader of the servants, and the people in the back were all women, and Princess Elelovna didn't know any of them.
At this time, Nikolayevich waved his hand, and all the servants stood around Princess Elilovna, who was beating a drum in her heart, thinking to herself, what do these people want to do?
Nikolayevich looked at Princess Ilyovna's clothes and said with a smile: "Your Royal Highness, are you wearing this to the public trial?" ”
When Princess Ilyovna heard about the public trial, she fell to her knees at Nikolayevich's feet and pleaded: "Your Excellency, ...... Commander."
"You're going to call me Speaker!" Nikolayevich had a smug smile on his face.
Princess Elelovna hurriedly changed her words: "Please, Lord Speaker, don't judge me, have I made any mistakes?" ”
Nikolayevich laughed and said: "Your father plundered the wealth of the people and killed countless people, you, as his daughter, are the undisputed beneficiary, the money you spend on a meal is enough for a family of Russian people to eat for a month, and the money you make for a skirt can buy cotton clothes for dozens of people to keep out the cold, how can we not judge you fairly?" ”
Princess Elilovna said aggrievedly: "I don't want those things, but I am a princess after all, and it is impossible for me to want those things." ”
Nikolayevich turned his face and said angrily: "Stop talking nonsense!" Stand up and change your clothes first. ”
Princess Elelovna was shocked, and thought that he wouldn't want to put me in a prison uniform, would he? Princess Ilyovna did not dare to ask, but at this time Nikolaevich turned his head to the master and servant woman and asked: "Do you know how many clothes the princess has?" ”
The master's servant nodded in fear, and said, "Yes, the princess's clothes have passed through my hands, and I know what clothes there are. ”
Nikolaevich smiled and asked: "Where is the most expensive dress?" ”
The servant woman trembled and said, "In the closet inside." ”
Nikolaevich nodded and said with a smile: "Go and take it out." ”
The servant woman walked to the wardrobe in the house and took out a long skirt and a coat, the Russians believed that purple symbolized nobility, so the princess's clothes were mainly purple, and this long dress and coat were purple.
Nikolayevich glanced at the two dresses and said dissatisfiedly: "Although these two clothes are made of the finest Chinese silk, it doesn't cost too much money to make them, is this the princess's most expensive dress?" ”
The master's servant shook her head and said, "Speaker, please see." When the servant had finished speaking, she laid down her dress and coat on the bed, and then found a zipper on them, and pulled them down, and everyone felt only a flash of dreamy brilliance, for the dress and coat were nothing but protective covers, and the real clothes were inside them.
The servant woman carefully took out the clothes inside, and saw that this time the skirt and coat were inlaid with all kinds of precious stones, which were so dreamily radiated by the fire of the closet.
Nikolayevich nodded contentedly and said: "Only when the princess wears this dress can she show the extravagance of the tsar's family, and the people will hate the tsar's family, well, let's wear it." The princess should have a shawl and a headdress or something, right? Go and get them all, take the most expensive one, and decorate it for the princess. ”
It turned out that Nikolaevich asked people to dress up Princess Elelovna, just to make the people hate her and hate the Tsar's family, but Princess Elelovna never asked the Tsar for these things, and compared with some members of the royal family who were poor and extravagant, Elelovna can be regarded as a simple princess, but no one knows about these anymore, because Nikolaevich has labeled Princess Elelovna as poor and extravagant.
Nikolayevich took the soldiers out and asked the servants and the women to change Princess Elelovna's clothes, but Nikolaevich did not let the soldiers watch from the side, which was regarded as retaining the last bit of dignity for Princess Elelovna.
When everyone decorated the princess, they brought the princess to Nikolayevich, at this time it was already more than seven o'clock in the morning, the sky was already bright, and everyone who got the news of the public trial crowded to the large square at the entrance of the Winter Palace.
Nikolayevich and the soldiers were stunned when they saw the princess dressed up, because the princess was so beautiful, and her natural beauty and beautiful clothes made her look like a fairy.
Nikolayevich snorted coldly and said: "Take her in the car, escort her to the Hermitage Square, and prepare for the public trial!" ”
The soldiers agreed in unison, put Princess Elelovna in the car, and took her to the square in front of the Winter Palace, where the sky was exceptionally clear and the sun was shining brightly in St. Petersburg, as if God also wanted to see Princess Elelovna on trial.
A high platform was erected on the square, and the soldiers escorted the princess to the high platform, and the onlookers pointed to Princess Ilyovna to discuss, when Nikolayevich came to the rostrum and said in a loud voice: "Everyone be quiet! The public trial session begins now! ”
Through the high-power speaker, Nikolayevich's words spread throughout the venue, and the people quieted down, quietly looking at Nikolayevich, Nikolayevich cleared his throat and said: "Ladies and gentlemen, today we are here to try Princess Elelovna, the remnant of this tsar, just to tell everyone that the era of the tsar's sinful rule is over!" ”
The crowd erupted in cheers, and Nikolayevich continued: "Everyone's life is very difficult, and I know this, I can tell you that the main culprit for this hardship is the Tsar's family!" Now I'm going to show you the proof! Look at the clothes worn by Princess Elilovna, do you know how much it cost to make this dress? ”
Nikolayevich paused, and then said: "That dress cost 800,000 rubles!" ”
Everyone had long noticed the jeweled dress on Princess Ilylovna's body, and they all guessed that it was worth a lot of money, but they didn't expect it to be worth 800,000 rubles, which in Russia at this time, 800,000 rubles was almost enough for a thousand poor families to live for a year.
The crowd suddenly boiled, and they all pointed at Princess Elilovna and shouted and scolded, although Princess Elilovna couldn't hear the content of the scolding, but she could also see from the demeanor of the crowd that they couldn't wait to eat themselves, she felt extremely aggrieved for a while, and tears rolled down from her eyes at once.
