I am Peter III, Emperor of the Hexagon of the Goose Kingdom

Chapter 115 Privy Council Meeting, Confidentiality Agreement
Early the next morning, Peter got up at the normal time, and when he walked out of the bedroom, he found that there were already several people waiting.

Seeing these people, Peter couldn't help showing a smile.

One is Minister of General Affairs Vorontsov, one is Deputy Minister of General Affairs Bestutev, one is the speaker of the parliament Prince Nikita Trubetskoy, and one is Lieutenant General Apraksin, who once served as the Assistant to Bestutev.

Another surprise is Ivanovic, the director of the mysterious office.

"Ivanovic, hello."

Seeing Ivanovic, Peter greeted him with a smile, and then strode forward.

As soon as Ivanovic was about to return the salute, Peter left, a little embarrassed.

But now he dare not say anything, Peter is now His Majesty.

After walking a certain distance, Peter gradually slowed down and said:

"Are you still working in the original place?"

Vorontsov immediately said:
"Yes, Your Majesty."

Peter nodded: "In that case, let's continue like this."

"Ivanovich, invite Romanosov, Andynov, and Prince Dalier of the Yusupov family."

"Yes."

Ivanovic saluted and saw that Peter had no other orders for the time being, so he went.

Hearing Peter call these people, the expressions of the people present couldn't help but be slightly strange.

Without exception, these four people were all close to Peter when he was the Crown Prince. Could it be that His Majesty is going to appoint a new minister just after taking the throne?
So what should they do?
Bestutev was even more worried. The thing he was most worried about now was the new emperor's attitude towards Prussia.

Queen Elizabeth left her hands alone again. What should Peter do if he orders?
Peter followed several people to the Privy Council again.

The last time he came, he borrowed serfs from Vorontsov but failed. Vorontsov secretly looked at Peter's face, but couldn't see anything, and couldn't help feeling a little regretful.

I knew that the crown prince would become emperor so soon, and judging from the fact that Bestutev and Adrian had run into a wall with the queen, the queen trusted her majesty very much.

This meant that Peter was practically the only emperor without the empress' intervention.

"Your Majesty, last time I..."

Gritting his teeth, Vorontsov quickened his pace and took two steps, following behind Peter, even if the other ministers could hear him, he didn't care.

The king's words constitute a constitution, and the pen becomes a law. Let the emperor accompany him first, so that the emperor will have some face.

"Needless to say, let's talk about something later."

Peter said something and moved on.

After passing through the Oil Painting Palace and the Amber Palace, Peter stopped at one place, which was a small palace with some portraits hanging on the walls of the palace.

His is already up.

In front of him are Empress Elizabeth, and Anna I, Peter II, Catherine I, Peter the Great.

This is an emperor's wall. Seeing this, even if I felt the difference yesterday, it was not as strong as the impact at this time.

A very plain wall, a very plain section of the road, but he is now the emperor.

He ruled the largest empire in the world, sitting on the throne of the former Peter the Great. Once his signature landed on a decree, it would become law. The life and death of more than 1600 million subjects depended on his decision...

Thinking of this, Peter's heart surged.

After passing through two long corridors, each door was guarded by guards, Peter walked in with his ministers.

It was the first time for him to come to the place where the Privy Council often held meetings. After a glance, the room was not big, only about [-] square meters, with a long conference table.

The only thing that makes people think this is a palace is the luxurious decoration and solemn atmosphere.

After taking his seat, Peter glanced at the others' seats.

Vorontsov was the first to sit next to him, then Bestutev, and on the other side were Speaker Trubetskoy and Lieutenant General Apraksin.

The eyes of these people were looking at him, the atmosphere was a little strange, and Bestutev's face was not sure what was going on, it was serious.

Vorontsov laughed apologetically:
"Your Majesty, are you going to report now?"

Peter smiled and said:

"Wait a minute."

The few people present came and went in his mind. Although no one was perfect, none of them defected to the enemy. This made him very relieved, and more importantly, they were all Russians.

As for whether he has opinions on him, he doesn't care at all, it will take time to prove.

Not long after, Ivanovic arrived with three people.

Dalier's face was flushed and his expression was excited. When he entered, he bowed deeply to Peter first:
"Your Majesty, it is a great honor to be summoned by you, Your Majesty Wanan!!!"

Dalier is an honorary duke and has no real position. If counted, his importance is about the same as that of the two fifth-class civil servants Romanosov and Andernov.

Romanosov and Andernov also saluted him.

The two looked dazed and apprehensive, not knowing what Peter, who had become emperor, asked them to come here for.

This is the Privy Council, the most important institution in the country!
"Three please sit down."

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

Under Peter's signal, Dalier sat next to the lieutenant general, and Romanosov and Andernov sat opposite him.

And Ivanovic sat on the edge of the lieutenant general's side, probably due to an occupational disease, with a somewhat disengaged posture.

Peter took a look and said nothing. After a moment of silence, he looked around the crowd and said:

"Everyone, can I trust you?"

Several people looked at each other, not knowing what the emperor meant. When Peter was crowned emperor, everyone had already sworn allegiance.

Vorontsov spoke first:
"Your Majesty, of course you can trust me, I am your last loyal subject!"

Peter smiled, nodded, and then looked at Bestutev.

Bestutev had no choice but to nod and said:

"I am loyal to the Russian Empire and His Majesty!"

Then everyone expressed their opinions one by one, and as soon as the statements were over, Peter took out the papers he had prepared and distributed them to everyone one by one from the long conference table.

It already has his signature on it.

Peter said:

"Gentlemen, you are all important ministers of the country. State affairs are kept secret in this room. Anyone who dares to leak the secrets outside this door will be severely punished, including but not limited to exile of the whole family. If it is serious, I will restore the death penalty. The ugliness will be mentioned first. This agreement only guarantees your loyalty and confidentiality."

"If there is no problem, please sign it."

Peter himself went outside and asked for pens and inks.

I can't help but sigh in my heart, there are no trusted people now, and I have to do this by myself.

The ministers couldn't help but looked at each other, and then looked at the agreement on the parchment, and it was indeed the same as what the emperor said.

Restricted to loyalty and secrecy.

Ivanovic was the first to sign, followed by Dalier and Vorontsov, followed by Romanosov and Andernov, who were still dazed and a little frightened.

Then Lieutenant General Apraksin, Speaker Trubetskoy, and finally Bestutev.

Peter didn't care who came first, took everything back, examined it carefully, and then handed this to Ivanovic, and what he said made Ivanovic's face change.
