Make France Great Again

Chapter 705: Sovereign power granted by the people

After hearing Duke Golitsyn's speech, Princess Maria Dodorovna was not happy that her son was elected as the new Tsar, but was heartbroken like Empress Fedorovna. Filled with fear.

Who else in St. Petersburg does not know that the so-called New Russian Empire in Duke Golitsyn’s mouth is a replica of the original French Republic, and the reason why he wears the coat of the Russian Empire is nothing more than a show for the British Kingdom and the French Empire. watch.

Once Duke Golitsyn is completely stabilized, then her son is likely to die by guillotine like Louis XVI of the French Republic.

"Duke Golitsyn... No, Golitsyn is in power!" Maria Deodovna pleaded with a trembling voice to the old man who controlled the life and death of their mother and son: "My son is too young , his talent is not enough to be the tsar, you should let him go!"

"His Royal Highness, I'm sorry!" Duke Golitsyn sighed, spread his hands and responded to Maria Deodovna: "This is an order from the Constitutional Council, and no one can disobey it!"

"Golitsyn is in power, and the Constitutional Committee was created by you! You must have a way!" Maria Deodovna continued to plead with Duke Golitsyn, "My son is only 11 years old. Incapable of being tsar! I beg you, choose someone else!"

"I'm sorry!" Duke Golitsyn mercilessly responded to Maria Deodovna coldly: "Even I cannot disobey the order of the Constitutional Council! La Alexandrovich) must be the Tsar!

Also, please remember that the tsar of Grand Duke Nicholas was elected by the Constitutional Committee, not given by God (the subtext is that the new Russian Empire was transformed from the divine authority of the monarchy to the authority of the people, and after the sanctity of the monarchy was weakened, the rights Naturally, it will also be weakened to a certain extent)! "

After speaking, Duke Golitsyn told Maria Deodorovna again that the time for the coronation of Archduke Nicholas was when the ambassadors of the Kingdom of Sardinia and the Kingdom of Sweden arrived. He hoped that Maria Deodorov would Princess Na can keep herself safe during this time, otherwise any irrational action of her will bring a devastating disaster to her son.

Seeing that Maria Dodorovna, who was unable to disobey Duke Golitsyn, had to forcibly calm down her mind, he had to seek a little hope of survival for himself and his children.

"Golitsyn is in power!" Maria Deodovna asked with a trembling tone, "If my son chooses to obey your orders and be crowned Tsar, can you guarantee my poor child's death? life safety!"

"His Royal Highness, at the time, France was not intent on building a republic!" Duke Golitsyn did not directly answer Maria D'Ordovna's words, but responded to her by citing the scriptures: "Even if it is a republic by you. Robespierre, the disgusted republic ruler, was also once a royalist! If Louis XVI hadn't squandered the trust of the people of Paris again and again, he would not have been sent to the guillotine.

It can be said that Louis XVI ruined his life because he was too stupid! "

Duke Golitsyn's words gave Maria Dodorovna a little more comfort in her terrified heart, and she quickly responded to Duke Golitsyn: "Golitsyn is in power, please rest assured! We will definitely obey you. s arrangement!"

"That's really good!" Duke Golitsyn nodded with satisfaction, "I am not someone who wants to abolish the tsarist system completely, as long as His Majesty can honestly obey the arrangements!

I can keep you safe on behalf of the Constitutional Committee! "

Duke Golitsyn paused for a moment, then continued: "However, part of the Romanov family's property may be lost!"

"We give it to you!" Maria Dodorovna immediately responded to Duke Golitsyn.

"Your Highness, these properties of yours are not owned by me, but by the entire Russian Empire!" Duke Golitsyn specially emphasized, "Although these properties cannot wash away the sins of the Romanov family, they are enough to make Russia Citizens of the Empire have made a difference to the Romanovs!"

"Just do what you want!" Maria Dodovna hurriedly responded to Duke Golitsyn. She didn't care what the citizens of the Russian Empire thought of her. What she had to do now was to protect their family's elders. small life.

"His Royal Highness, it seems that the two of us have reached a consensus!" Duke Golitsyn's tone was no longer aggressive, he said slowly and peacefully to Maria Deodovna: "Can you please do more I do one thing!"

"What's the matter?" Maria Dodorovna asked Duke Golitsyn.

"I hope you can write a letter to your husband: Citizen Alexander (Duke Golitsyn firmly refused to recognize Alexander II's right to the throne, so he called Alexander II Citizen Alexander) to write a letter!" Duke Golitsyn sincerely said To Maria Deodovna: "You tell him that I don't want to go to war with Citizen Alexander!

After all, whether I defeat him or he defeats me, it will bring indelible damage to the entire Russian Empire.

So for the sake of the entire Russian Empire, can I beg Alexander to go abroad.

If he is willing to go abroad, the Constitutional Committee is willing to hand over 10 million rubles to the citizen Alexander at one time for his study abroad!

This money is enough to let him spend his old age in peace! "

Although Duke Golitsyn understood that a war between him and Alexander II was inevitable, he still had a glimmer of hope in Alexander II.

If Alexander II was willing to leave Russia, then a civil war could not be effectively avoided.

Besides, it was his son who was about to be the tsar.

Is Crown Prince Alexander really going to be cheeky and take the throne from his own son?

Maria Deodovna hesitated for a moment, then responded to Duke Golitsyn: "Golitsyn is in power, you should know that the throne of the Russian Empire symbolizes the supremacy of the entire Russian Empire!

No one is willing to give it up, and even if I write to him, he will certainly not agree! "

"Your Highness! Please don't worry!" Duke Golitsyn naturally understood Maria Deodovna's subtext, and he hurriedly said with relief: "Even if citizen Alexander is unwilling to leave the Russian Empire, I will not be angry with this incident. to you!

Your son is still the Tsar of the Russian Empire, and you are also the noble Empress Dowager!

As for, Citizen Alexander..."

Duke Golitsyn sighed softly, and the meaning was self-evident.

[PS: The fine tradition of the coup d’etat in the Russian Empire, the first is to kill the father and keep the son, and the second is that the new tsar does not engage in counterattacks, so even if Duke Golitsyn really kills the father of the new tsar, the new tsar will not be there After mastering the power, he came to link up the nine clans with Duke Golitsyn.

This peculiar coup d'état system originated from the original Roman Empire. 】

"Okay!" Maria Deodovna nodded and responded to Duke Golitsyn, "I will write to my husband and ask him to lay down his arms!"

"Your Highness, you are avoiding a civil war for the Russian Empire!" Duke Golitsyn bowed again to Maria Deodovna, "On behalf of the Russian Empire, I thank you for your efforts!"

Maria Deodovna showed a helpless smile on the corner of her mouth. Of course, if it was possible, she was unwilling to write this letter, but now she has no choice.

After Duke Golitsyn left, Maria Deodovna sat on the ground with a "pop", and then burst into tears.

When the 11-year-old Nikolai Alexandrovich heard Maria Dodorovna's cry, he hurriedly came to Mary with his ten-year-old brother (the future Alexander III). Beside Ja. Deodovna, he patted Maria Deodovna's shoulder with his white palm~www.readwn.com~ and then spoke to Maria Deodov in a tender voice Na said, "Mother, don't cry, don't cry!"

"Niki, I'm sorry!" Maria Doldovna hugged Nikolai Alexandrovich crying and said to him, "I didn't protect you!"

"It's okay!" Nikolai Alexandrovich didn't know the fate he was going to face next. Worrying about his mother's health, he shook his head and comforted Maria Deodovna.

...

On the other hand, Duke Golitsyn, who had returned to the Ministry of War from the residence of Crown Prince Alexander, once again gave orders to Andrew Nikolayev Golitsyn, asking him to immediately appoint Nikolai Alexandrovich as tsar Orders are posted on the streets of Petersburg every day.

Because this can play a role in stabilizing people's hearts.

"Yes!" Andrew Nikolaev Golitsyn hurriedly responded.

Over the next day, Andrew sent people to post and spread the news of the new tsar's succession.

The residents of Petersburg, who were succeeded by a new tsar, were finally relieved. After all, Russia's more than two hundred years of tsarist dictatorship can be abolished with a single order.

A large part of the residents living in the Petersburg area hated Nicholas I, but they did not hate the tsarist system.

Immediately afterwards, rumors spread that the provisional government formed by Duke Golitsyn had reached an agreement with the Romanov family.

The hearts of Petersburg became much more stable, and some nobles who wanted to rebel also stopped and began to wait and see.

If the new tsar's succession could restore the privileges abolished by the provisional government, they would not rebel.

Unfortunately, they do not know that their wait and see is the beginning of their demise.
