“Your Excellency, General Gulco has called, and he has taken control of Petersburg. The entire cabinet, as well as the various departments of the imperial government, are under our control. Cabinet ministers have also issued statements in support of your succession to the throne.

However, Grand Duke Nicholas and Grand Duke Aglini and others have already left Petersburg and gone abroad. Moreover, they also took Archduchess Olga Nikolaevna! ”

Lieutenant General Brushilov reported to Grand Duke Mikhail.

“Very well, it seems that they are still very knowledgeable. However, Grand Duke Nikolai took Olga Nikolaevna Archduchess, is this afraid that I will kill a little baby? Well, I’m her own uncle too! Of course, maybe Grand Duke Nicholas is not dead yet, and there are new plans! Grand Duke Mikhail murmured.

However, he no longer cares.

As long as he can successfully succeed to the throne and become the new tsar. He believed that under his rule, the Russian Empire would undergo earth-shaking changes and become more powerful.

At that time, even if Grand Duke Nikolai and Grand Duchess Olga Nikolaevna still exist, they will not pose any threat to him.

“Your Excellency, the local governments at all levels of the empire, the governors of various places, and the generals of the army and navy have also sent telegrams to express their support for you!” Lieutenant General Brushilov continued.

Grand Duke Mikhail nodded, and everything was not as he expected.

After they won the war, everything was already dusty.

“Telegram General Gulco and ask him to return to Moske with the top of the cabinet and various departments of the imperial government. I will succeed here as the new tsar of the empire. In the future, Mosk will replace Petersburg as the new capital of the empire! Grand Duke Mikhail ordered.

“Yes, Your Excellency!” Lieutenant General Brushilov replied.

These generals under Grand Duke Mikhail have long known about Grand Duke Mikhail’s decision, so they do not intend to be surprised.

It has been two or three hundred years since Peter the Great moved the capital from Mosk to Petersburg.

During this period, the magnates of the Tsarist Empire, who had been operating in Petersburg for so many years, had long been deeply rooted.

Mikhail’s desire to change the current situation of the Russian Empire will inevitably touch the interests of these magnates. Perhaps, there will be a violent conflict then.

So, he decided to put the capital in Mosk. That would be more beneficial to him.

“Announce to all parts of the empire that in a month, I will succeed to the throne in Mosk and become the new tsar!” Grand Duke Mikhail continued.

“Your Excellency, will this be too hasty?” Major General Vasily asked.

A month seems like a long time. However, the territory of the Tsarist Empire was too vast.

Within a month, I am afraid that many local high-ranking officials of the Tsarist Russian Empire will not be able to rush to Mosk.

Grand Duke Mikhail shook his head: “Be hasty, be hasty, now you need to hurry up and make sure that there will be no more accidents.” ”

“Yes, Your Excellency!” Major General Vasily answered.

On the Petersburg side, after Lieutenant General Gurko gave the order of Grand Duke Mikhail to the top echelons of the Reich cabinet, the cabinet ministers were very dissatisfied. However, they had no other way but to set off for Moske.

Petersburg became the capital of the Tsarist Empire for many years.

It has been run by these powerful people for many years. If they could, they would naturally want to stay in Petersburg. Or rather, it was hoped that Grand Duke Mikhail would inherit the throne in Petersburg.

However, if Grand Duke Mikhail wanted to choose Mosk as the capital of the empire, could they refuse?

With the army and local government already loyal to Grand Duke Mikhail, even their cabinet ministers had no room to resist.

At the same time, Grand Duke Mikhail announced that Mosk would succeed to the throne a month later and become the new tsar.

This caused an uproar in the Russian Empire and throughout Europe.

The local high-ranking officials of the Tsarist Empire, the governors of various places, and the senior generals of the military set off for Mosk as soon as possible.

This is the enthronement ceremony of the new tsar, and naturally they cannot be absent. Otherwise, if the new Tsar was dissatisfied with their absence, he would even remove them from office. Then, their losses will be great!

What’s more, everyone knows that Grand Duke Mikhail, although young, is intelligent. At the same time, he was ruthless, and naturally did not dare to disobey his orders.

On June 24, 1796, Grand Duke Mikhail was crowned emperor at the Mosk Cathedral under the auspices of the Orthodox Archbishop, becoming the new tsar of the Russian Empire. According to the naming rules of the Romanov dynasty, he was called Mikhail II. Because the first tsar of the Romanov dynasty was Mikhail I.

The local governors, military generals, and envoys of the Russian Empire all witnessed this historic moment.
