Chapter 355 Three Acts (Please Subscribe!!!)
The news that Katerina, the Grand Duke of Moscow, presented three bills at the Senate Assembly spread like wildfire.

In the afternoon of the same day, various newspapers in Petersburg received emails about the details of the bill. There was no sender, no address, and it just appeared so suddenly.

"Contemporaries", "Petersburg Evening News", "Daily Facts".
The editors-in-chief of the various newspapers ordered almost simultaneously that what happened at the Senate meeting and the content of the three bills proposed by Katerina should be published as the headlines of the next newspaper.

Even entertainment publications like the Daily Facts got in on the action.

The reason is simple. When the editors saw the content of the three bills, they immediately realized what kind of storm this news would cause in the Romanov Kingdom, and their newspapers would definitely sell out.
The proposal of the three bills will definitely be recorded in history.

The editors-in-chief of newspapers don't care how future generations evaluate this day, they only care about the sales of newspapers.

That night, the newspapers were loaded onto the train and transported to various cities. The people living around the capital saw the newspapers for the first time. After they read them carefully, they found that the three bills proposed by the Grand Duke Mosk were all for the bottom-level civilians. , for each of the above terms.
It's all uplifting.

Unfortunately, the three bills proposed by Grand Duke Mosk did not pass the vote of the Senate Assembly.

Neither the aristocracy nor the king favored the implementation of these three acts.

Even Duke Ivanovic, who should have chosen to support Katerina, did not raise his white handkerchief at the meeting.

It is said that O'Hare was carried out of the Senate meeting because some radical nobles couldn't help but rushed up and beat him up after hearing the content of the three bills.

If the guards hadn't rushed in to fight, O'Hare probably wouldn't even be able to see the sun tomorrow.

The anger of the aristocracy, like hot oil, poured on the already disaffected people.

That night, the manor where Prince Ivanovich lived was set on fire.
More or less the same thing happened to other nobles.

Archbishop Henry responded quickly. In the name of the king, he ordered the destruction of the newspapers that were issued that night, but the newspapers that had already been loaded on the train and transported to Siberia could not be recovered in a short time.

The urgently established secret police arrested many suspects on charges of damaging the private property of nobles and deliberate murder. Among them was a priest of the Church of Truth named Seliger. He did nothing, but when the secret police came to ask hour
He falsely claimed that he was the mastermind of the arson and was successfully caught and sent to prison.

In jail
He began to tell the meaning of truth to the prisoners who were also arrested.

According to the memories of the prison guards in the future, all the prisoners in the prison did not sleep that night. They leaned on the iron railing and listened to Seliger's sermon.

The prison guards, who were supposed to stop Seliger's sermon in time, saw that the prisoners were so emotional that they didn't dare to go forward. They even prepared a bottle of red brand vodka for the thirsty Seliger.

Beating a dog depends on the owner. Prison guards have worked at the bottom for so many years and know the way inside. They know that some people can move and some people cannot.

The balance of victory has not been tilted to any side. It is extremely stupid to choose to stand in a team when the situation is not clear enough.

The prison guards agreed that if they tortured Father Seliger tonight and forbade the sermon, then in case the Grand Duke of Mosk won the final victory in the future.
Will they be liquidated?
Anyway, only they know what happened in the prison, so it's better to turn a blind eye and be a smart person.

What's more, they have also read the newspapers, three bills, eight-hour work system, seven and two weekends.
It's so tempting.

the other side.
O'Hare, who was beaten badly, took the train back to Moscow overnight and reported the contents of the "Interim Decree" to Katerina.

But what puzzled him was that Katerina seemed to care more about King Paul I's attendance at the conference than the extremely threatening "Interim Decree".

"Are you sure that Paul I attended the Senate meeting?"

"I'm sure, I saw him with my own eyes, there's nothing wrong with that, it's definitely His Majesty the King himself."

Katerina, who was frowning tightly, let O'Hare take a good rest, put on her cloak, and hurried to the St. Basil's Cathedral next door.

"What? Paul I attended yesterday's conference?"

Ma Wei, who was having dinner, looked at Katerina who came to visit unexpectedly: "Your Highness, are you kidding me?"

"I won't make fun of this kind of thing." Katerina glanced at Fat Orange: "The information it gave is not accurate enough."

"No, I believe in Fat Orange."

Ma Wei shook his head, put down his chopsticks, and said in a deep voice: "When Fat Orange sneaked into the Winter Palace, he found that Paul I's body was frozen in ice, and there was no sign of life, but Paul I opened his eyes, like A living dead man, I suspect that God of Wisdom has manipulated something so that the dead Paul I can continue to act."

"You mean, Archbishop Henry not only killed my brother, but also used his body to continue to control the Romanov kingdom?!"

"This should be."

boom!
Katerina slapped the table with a slap, shaking the dishes and plates, and a strong murderous look appeared in her dark blue eyes. She had never wanted to kill a person like this before. What Archbishop Henry did has completely broken The bottom line of her tolerance.

"Your Highness, if things are as we have speculated, then our attack on the capital may have to be delayed a little bit," Ma Wei said.

On the premise that Paul I did not die and was completely controlled by the Wisdom Church, the abdication edict drafted before Paul I committed suicide has lost part of its effect.

Fortunately, Paul I not only passed the throne to Katerina in the edict, but also denounced the actions of the Wisdom God.

As long as the decree is announced, the Wisdom God Sect will lose the support of the vast majority of believers, and the bad behavior that no one can tolerate to control the king
But on the other hand, once the edict is announced, Archbishop Henry, who controls Paul I, can completely deny the "legality" of the edict in the name of the king, claiming that the edict is a forgery.

After anticipating the possible actions of the Wisdom God Cult, Ma Wei believes that they should implement the old plan now, and overthrow the rule of Paul I by awakening the people. This is the safest plan.

"Is there a possibility... my brother is not dead?" Katerina looked into Mavi's eyes, wanting to get even a little bit of affirmation.

Mavi licked his lower lip. He knew that Katerina was in a very complicated mood now. Many things were only known how precious they were after they were lost.

Before the news of Paul I's suicide came, Katerina refused to forgive Paul I's actions that might lead to the division of the kingdom, but when Paul I really died, she didn't want the death news to be true.

As the Grand Duke of Mosk and former first princess who wanted to revitalize the Romanov Kingdom, Katerina had to compete with Paul I for the throne.

as a sister
Katerina wants her brother alive.

Cruelty and ambition are real, as are pain and sadness.

And when the two identities overlap, Katerina has to make a choice.

"Your Highness, I don't think now is the time to think about it."

"We must seize the opportunity brought by the introduction of the three bills, awaken the people, unite their strength, and overthrow the rotten old era!" Mawei said.
