“Next, the Ministry of the Interior went all out to track down the true culprit who assassinated His Majesty the Tsar. We can’t let go of a mastermind under any circumstances! Prime Minister Plevy ordered.

“Yes, Your Excellency, Prime Minister!” Home Secretary Stolypin replied.

However, he knew that this was just talk.

Even if there is really a mastermind behind the scenes, I am afraid that it will not be caught in a lifetime.

“Gentlemen, the most important thing now is that after the death of His Majesty, the new Tsar candidates. If according to the law of succession to the throne, then the first in line to the throne is Grand Duke Mikhail. Prime Minister Plevy continued.

“According to the law of succession, Grand Duke Mikhail is indeed the first candidate for the new tsar!” The head of the Orthodox Administration of Religious Affairs, Phobbey Donoschaiv, said immediately.

Although Grand Duke Mikhail is in the south, there are also his people in the cabinet.

Donoszav and Alexander III were very close personal and maintained very good relations with Grand Duke Mikhail. At this time, of course, it is necessary to speak for him.

“If His Majesty the Tsar has no children, His Excellency Grand Duke Mikhail will succeed to the throne, and this is no problem. But His Majesty the Tsar already had Grand Duchess Olga Nikolaevna. If it is customary, Her Excellency the Grand Duchess is the first candidate! Chancellor of the Exchequer Sergei Witter said.

Sergeuvit was also a close friend of Nicholas II, and he was well aware that Nicholas II hated Grand Duke Mikhail very much.

Even, he secretly suspected that Nicholas II had been assassinated, and he was afraid that Grand Duke Mikhail could not get rid of it. No, all this was planned by Grand Duke Mikhail.

It’s just that he has no evidence and knows that this kind of talk can’t be said casually.

However, he could not watch Grand Duke Mikhail succeed to the throne and become the new tsar. In that case, there would be no way to take Grand Duke Mikhail completely.

In addition, Grand Duke Mikhail will definitely not let him go.

Sergey Witt is a well-known corrupt official in the Tsarist Russian Empire, and he does not know how much money he has earned since he took charge of the financial power of the Tsarist Empire.

“Grand Duchess Olga Nikolaevna should indeed have the right to inherit. But she is only half a year old now, and His Majesty the Tsar did not announce a change in inheritance during his lifetime. Foreign Minister Izvorsky said.

For the choice of the heir to the throne, the cabinet of the Russian Empire and the top military of the Tsarist Empire had serious differences.

It was argued that Grand Duke Mikhail should be declared the new successor to the tsar, in accordance with the law on succession.

But there are also people who support Grand Duchess Olga Nikolaevna, even if she is only half a year old now, she can inherit the throne and become the tsar of the Tsarist Empire.

After all, in the history of the Russian Empire, it was not without a female tsar.

In this regard, the top level and nation of the Russian Empire did not object to a woman serving as tsar.

“Her Excellency is only half a year old, and she has no ability to govern the country at all. Now the country is in trouble, there are a lot of troubles. If Her Excellency the Grand Duchess is allowed to inherit the throne, how will the country be governed? Partonosev asked rhetorically.

“Although Her Excellency is young, there will always be a day when she grows up. Before she grows up, the cabinet can fully assume the responsibility of governing the country. I will also fully support him! Grand Duke Nicholas said.

Grand Duke Nicholas is well aware that unless Grand Duke Mikhail is taken out. Otherwise, he would not have the possibility of inheriting the throne. Therefore, he strongly supported the succession of Grand Duchess Olga Nikolaevna to the throne.

In this way, at least until Archduchess Olga Nikolaevna came of age, he would be able to hold great power.

Prime Minister Plevy couldn’t help but frown, if that’s the case, it’s a very good result. The powers of his prime minister can also be further expanded.

However, he also knew that this would cause great turmoil in the Russian Empire. Grand Duke Mikhail, in particular, will definitely not accept it.

If Grand Duke Mikhail is nothing more than an ordinary royal family, so be it.

But Grand Duke Mikhail is a strong local prince!

If one is bad, the Russian Empire is very likely to fall into civil war.

“If we support Her Excellency the Grand Duchess, then what if Grand Duke Mikhail opposes it?” Prime Minister Plevy asked.

“He simply has no standing to object. If he refused to recognize the inheritance of Her Excellency the Grand Duchess, it would be treason. The army will not let it go! Grand Duke Nicholas said directly.

Even Grand Duke Nicholas wished that Grand Duke Mikhail would resist, in that case, he would be able to send an army to suppress it. At that time, the Grand Duke Mikhail will be directly deprived of the right to inherit the throne. So, isn’t he one step closer to the throne?

After a brief meeting, the Russian Imperial Cabinet did not reach a consensus. However, there were significantly fewer voices in support of Grand Duke Mikhail.

And Grand Duke Mikhail soon learned the news, which made him even more furious.
