"What did you say?"

On May 3, in St. Basil's Cathedral, Mavi, who was watering catnip on the balcony, turned his head and looked at Xiao Hei squatting on the windowsill and said: "Archbishop Henry wants to abolish serfdom?" ”

"That's right, meow!" Xiao Hei nodded vigorously: "But there is news from Lulu's side that Archbishop Henry seems to be planning to abolish serfdom before us, but was stopped by King Paul I." ”

Within a month of coming to Mosk, Fat Orange and Little Black not only subdued all the stray cats in Mosk, but also expanded their territory to include the surrounding towns, even the royal capital of Petersburg, which is also in their next step.

For this reason, Fat Tangerine even went to the royal capital of Petersburg in person, leaving Xiao Hei to take care of the house and preside over the operation of the Cat Army.

But the information provided by Lulu was brought back by the fat orange cat by train.

Merely.....

This news is not good news.

Both to the Church of Truth and to King Paul I.

The abolition of serfdom will touch the core interests of the aristocratic faction, and it is bound to meet with extremely strong resistance, and Archbishop Henry dares to raise this matter directly, which shows that he already has the intention of taking action against the aristocratic faction.

The aristocratic faction that thwarted Archbishop Henry's plan three times and twice aroused Archbishop Henry's disgust, and this time, in order to deal with the Church of Truth, he also made up his mind.

Paul I, who wanted to balance the church and the aristocracy, would certainly not agree to Archbishop Henry's proposal to abolish serfdom, he needed the support of the aristocracy who held military power, and only then could he, the king, maneuver between the church and the nobility and hold real power.

As soon as the relationship between the church and the nobility is unbalanced, and one side is absolutely dominant, then he, the king....

It has become a real existence.

"Something big is going to happen...."

Ma Wei put down the shower and stretched out his hand to Xiao Hei, who jumped quickly, climbed up his shoulder, one person and one cat, walked out of the balcony, and went straight to the Kremlin next door.

Yunia, who was eating melon seeds in the backyard and watching the 'sword show', noticed that Ma Wei was leaving, and hurriedly followed, and did not forget to take out a few melon seeds from Alan before leaving.

Poor Ailan, it's all about to be hollowed out.

Kremlin.

In the dimly lit room with the curtains closed, Katerina sat behind a table, holding a gilded and beautifully carved enamel egg, she carefully wiped off the dust, and then took out a small brass clockwork key from the drawer, inserted it into the bottom of the egg, and spun it around a few times.

Katsa.

In the crisp sound of the machine, the inner sound cylinder of the enamel egg began to rotate slowly and evenly, plucking the yellow film, and a woman's singing voice came out.

The song was gentle and tactful, as if a mother was putting her child to sleep, and Katerina closed her eyes, leaned back in her chair, and listened quietly.

This enamel egg, a birthday present from His Majesty Peter on her birthday three years ago, has the effect of a music box, and in order to reproduce the song of her deceased mother, it took two full years for the court craftsman Fabergé to make this meaningful gift from memory.

Whenever she felt tired or insomniac, Katerina would play her mother's song, her most precious treasure.

Dongdong!

The door was gently slammed, and Katerina opened her eyes and carefully put away the enamel eggs, "Come in." ”

The maid Marusa opened the door and whispered, "Your Highness, Father Mavi is here. ”

"Hmm."

With Katerina's nod, Marusa stepped aside, and Mavi, Yunia, and Hei entered the room.

"Your Highness, something has happened."

"If it was okay, I don't think Father Priest would have come to me...."

Not surprised at all, Katerina got up and walked to the tea table, invited Mavi and Yunia to sit down, and asked, "What's wrong?" ”

"The latest news, Archbishop Henry intends to abolish serfdom."

"What?!"

Katerina's Tong Kong, who was originally calm, shrank suddenly, and instantly guessed the meaning behind it: "The Wisdom God Sect wants to make a move against the aristocratic faction? ”

"There's basically nothing wrong with that." Ma Wei took the black tea handed by Marusa, thanked him, and continued: "This is the best way to limit the development of the Truth Church, and to take the road we have to take, so that we have no way out. ”

"What exactly does the Cult of Wisdom want to do?" Katerina's good mood was destroyed by the sudden bad news, and her voice was full of anger: "At this time, Archbishop Henry is not afraid of the division of the Romanov kingdom?!" ”

"It's better to split the Romanov Kingdom into the situation that the Wisdom God Cult wants to see." Ma Wei's face was solemn, and his palms became cold: "The Romanov Kingdom with a huge territory is incomparable to any kingdom, for the Wisdom God Cult, it is not a bad thing to let the Romanov Kingdom split, it can not only dissolve a northern behemoth, but also limit the development of the Truth Church, such a clever plan to kill two birds with one stone.... How can it not be implemented? ”

Where is the confidence of the Romanov Kingdom, which terrifies other kingdoms?

Undoubtedly, it is a vast territory that spans east and west.

The Romanov kingdom has the largest land and population, and the development potential of such a kingdom is very terrifying, and the destruction of it if you can't get it has always been the reason why the Popon Kingdom and the Windsor Kingdom were regarded as barbarians by the once powerful Roman Empire.

"Your Highness, I have one more good news and bad news."

Mavi didn't play with Katerina to joke about whether you want to hear good news or bad news first, and now the situation has reached a very critical point, he said directly: "The good news is that King Paul I stopped Archbishop Henry, and the bad news is..."

"My brother's situation is dangerous, isn't he?" Katerina's brows furrowed, and her heart was very worried.

How could she not know the current situation facing Paul I?

In this doctrinal war, Archbishop Henry apparently intends to preemptively cut off the path of development of the Church of Truth, which is the only way for the Cult of the God of Wisdom to achieve final victory in the offensive of the Church of Truth.

But it was clear to anyone with a discerning eye that the aristocracy would not agree to abolish serfdom, and in order to force this law, Archbishop Henry could take the measures....

There is only one.

That is to completely kill the aristocratic faction.

As long as the aristocratic faction is resolved, King Paul I will no longer have the confidence to sit on an equal footing with the Cult of Wisdom, and he will become a puppet king, like a marionette, at the mercy of Archbishop Henry.

This is also the fate that the kingdoms are trying to break free from.

But not every church, every pope, has the same tolerant patience as Mavi.

Now Archbishop Henry, in order to suppress the Church of Truth, did not hesitate to fall out with the aristocracy and abolish serfdom, the consequences of this development....

It will be a division of the Romanov kingdom.

The Dukes of Yovanovich and Tbilisi, who held military power, would certainly not sit idly by, and if the situation was bad, they would flee back to their possessions and declare independence.

Is the Romanov kingdom divided or the Romanov kingdom?

As a result, Katerina's desire to revive the Romanov kingdom became distant.

"I will never allow this to happen!"

Slamming the table, Katerina's beautiful face was full of murder: "Whoever wants to split the Romanov Kingdom, I will be the first to slaughter him!" ”

"Your Highness, we must calm down now." "Anger can't solve anything, and a cool head can come up with the most perfect countermeasures," Ma Wei said. ”

In fact, without Ma Wei's persuasion, Katerina had calmed down, she was angry and calm, and after taking a sip of the black tea on the table, she got up and opened the curtains, and suddenly the bright light made her eyes narrow.

The window was facing the square, where countless pigeons were parked, and looking at them, Katerina said faintly: "Father, you know.... Did my father tell me anything before he died? ”

"I don't know."

"He was so sick that he couldn't speak, so he took my hand and wanted to say it but couldn't, but I could understand what he meant...."Katerina's voice trembled faintly: "He wants me to let my brother go, he doesn't want to see our brother and sister meet each other..."

"I think His Majesty Peter must know that your brother is no match for you."

"Perhaps, do you know how I answered my father?"

"You refused?"

"No, I agreed." Katerina turned around and smiled: "After all, he is my younger brother, my only and last relative in this world, and I don't want to kill him if I can." ”

"It's a pity...."

"He doesn't seem to give me a reason to forgive him."
