【Catherine II Alexeevna. 】

[She was a Prussian princess of Germanic descent, chosen by the Russian Empress Elizabeth I as the fiancée of Peter III, the heir to the throne.

Elizabeth I had no children, so she could only choose her nephew Peter as her heir.

[Catherine was very smart. In order to gain a foothold in Tsarist Russia, she studied Russian and Orthodox rituals, converted to Orthodoxy and changed her name to the current Russian name.]

[Her actions won the favor of the Tsarist court, and Catherine initially succeeded in gaining a foothold in the land of Tsarist Russia.]

Everyone was shocked. They originally thought that this empress must be the heir to the emperor of this country, but it turned out that she was not!

The most outrageous thing is that she is actually a foreign princess!

How could Tsarist Russia be so bold that it could accept a foreigner as its emperor!

Aren't they afraid that this foreign princess will directly incorporate their country into her own territory...

Some people also showed admiration on their faces: With such a character, she is worthy of being the queen.

In an unfamiliar environment, don't feel sorry for yourself, but actively seek solutions and integrate into the people around you.

Zhao Kuangyin's frown was so sharp that it could kill a fly. This... is hard to comment on...

Imagine that a princess from a foreign country became the emperor of the Central Plains dynasty. The ministers and royal family members would be the first to rebel.

Kublai Khan accepted it well, because the winner is the king.

[However, after Catherine married Crown Prince Peter, it was the beginning of her misfortune.]

[Peter had his own mistress, and he did not love her. On the wedding night, Peter refused to consummate the marriage, and Catherine had no choice but to cut her palm and pretend that they had slept together. In the end, the two of them were separated for five years of marriage, and Catherine was still a virgin.]

"This..." Liu Bang was puzzled: "Is Peter inhumane?"

"No, Your Majesty, didn't you see that it said he had a mistress?" Zhang Liang said.

"Then he is not a qualified heir to the throne. Even if he doesn't like her, he must treat her as she deserves." Liu Bang shook his head. This Catherine is really a foreign beauty.

The erotic secret history of the imperial palace makes many people's blood boil. Some writers are writing non-stop and plan to tell the story in the restaurant tomorrow!

The affairs of this country are so interesting!

There must be a lot of people who love to listen to it!

Qianlong laughed loudly: He was going to write a letter to Catherine to mock her!

Humph! Who told her to protect the traitor Amursana? Who gave her the courage to pursue the Torghut tribe on my territory?

Write! Write now!!

It would be better to piss her off to death!

[During their marriage, Catherine's love of reading gave her a rich reserve of knowledge. At the same time, Peter recovered from smallpox but his face was completely disfigured due to scars. Elizabeth I even worried that she would regret it, but Catherine never thought of regretting the marriage because she knew very well that her goal was not to marry a good-looking man, but to marry the heir of the Russian Empire! ]

Yu Xuanji stared blankly at Ekaterina, whose eyes were firm and rational in the sky. It turned out that it was so important to be firm and clear about what you wanted!

But what about her? What does she want?

Did you get it?

A man's heart? Looking back now, it's so cheap...

How could she put herself in such an embarrassing situation because of something like this?

Why is it so easy to find priceless treasures, but so hard to find a loving man?

What is a lover? If you have a priceless treasure, why would you be afraid of not having a lover?

Yu Xuanji's eyes became brighter and brighter.

[For the entire eight years of marriage, Peter never touched Catherine. Because of Peter's incompetence, Elizabeth I, who was extremely eager for the next heir, finally couldn't stand it anymore. She planned to find a lover for Catherine and give birth to the child first. Bloodline was not important! ]

Oh my god——

The monarchs and ministers of various dynasties who were shocked by Elizabeth I's absurd decision all took a deep breath. There is such an operation! !

Royal bloodline and status are not important in their eyes!

Is the identity of the heir so casual?

Lu Zhi seemed to have opened the door to a new world: bloodline was not important at all in the eyes of these foreign people. What was important was to consolidate the regime and stabilize the military morale!

The most important thing is power!

"Hmph! These barbarians have no sense of shame!" Qianlong said disdainfully.

However, Kangxi saw a glimpse of the reason why there were so many queens in these other countries, so he put aside his attitude, had a clear goal, and was determined to use any means necessary.

All seemingly unreasonable behaviors are aimed at further consolidating the power in their hands.

Don't underestimate it...

Zhu Di...

It's simply shattering my three views. If this happened in the Central Plains dynasty, the royal relatives who are so particular about bloodline would probably vomit blood.

Zhu Yuanzhang's face was distorted, and it became even more distorted when he thought that everyone could see this.

Kublai Khan watched with great interest. The queen only wanted an heir, so Peter was just a puppet.

And will the puppets rebel in the end?

Zhao Kuangyin simply couldn't bear to watch these foreign countries, they really had no bottom line!

Li Shimin also felt a pain in his teeth as he was completely unable to understand.

Everyone from the Three Kingdoms: What if the baby is a girl?

Oh, I forgot, women can also become emperors in their place.

Liu Bang and Liu Che: ...

I feel like I want to curse but I can't...

Ying Zheng didn't care. A queen who could become an emperor would not be the kind of person who abides by the rules.

Others are deeply attracted to Elizabeth I, a cold and ruthless woman whose various political tactics fully reflect her imperial heart.

It seems not surprising that Catherine, who came under her, also became the empress.

[Ekaterina also understood that if she wanted to keep her position secure, she had to give birth to an heir. So she accepted it.]

[After that, Catherine gave birth to Paul, the grandson of the emperor. After ten years, Elizabeth I finally got the heir she wanted. When Paul was born, she took him into her palace and raised him personally. She said coldly to Catherine who came after her: Dear, you can find a lover as you like, you just need to give birth to more children.]

Everyone saw it and thought, oh wow~~ this is a familiar plot of leaving the mother and keeping the child...

This Ekaterina is in danger!

Zhuge Liang instantly recalled a line from The Rise of Great Powers: An institution is very likely to die because of its inability to change.

This sentence also applies to people. I guess Catherine finally succeeded in her pursuit of change.

[Catherine made a series of moves to try to gain support. Moreover, her relationship with Peter was like fire and water, and even turned into open hostility.]

[In 1762, Queen Elizabeth died and Peter succeeded to the throne, known in history as Peter III.]

[The relationship between Peter III and Catherine became increasingly bad, and Peter even publicly insulted her at a state banquet.]

[Catherine was also actively seeking opportunities to launch a coup. After gaining the support of Razumovsky, Duke Volkonsky and the imperial tutor Pannin, she launched a coup in advance, overthrew Peter III, and ascended the throne.]

[After ascending the throne, Catherine described many of Peter's actions as betrayals of Tsarist Russia in order to explain her legitimacy.]

The emperors and ministers of various dynasties nodded: They understand this, it's about clearing the emperor's side~~

Usurping the throne never sounds good. How can an emperor have a stain? Absolutely not.

Zhu Di immediately thought of the temple name Chengzu that his descendants later changed for him. Damn it! I really want to strangle him to death! !
