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

Chapter 148 The masterpiece of the world, the certification of the King of Sweden

Chapter 148 The masterpiece of the world, the certification of the King of Sweden
When Frederick received the secret letter, the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth, the King of Sweden, and the Queen of Austria almost also received the letter.

But there was no wave in Poland's heart at all.

The duchies of Poland and Lithuania merged into the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth, an area the size of France.

The Dnieper River and the Oder River flow on the east and west sides of the kingdom, the Baltic Sea in the north, the Carpathian Mountains in the south and Ottoman provinces in the Danube River Basin on the Balkan Peninsula. 900 miles of winding border.

Under the rule of its own king for hundreds of years, Poland became one of the European powers. It also has brilliant achievements. In 1611, a Polish army even occupied the Kremlin.

Later generations of Russian tsars successively recovered Smolensk, Kiv and Siuran and other places. By the middle of the eighteenth century, Poland's national power had declined to a weak point.

Its most fatal flaw is that there is a parliamentary system similar to parliament.

Members are elected by the Polish and Lithuanian nobles at a ratio of one in a thousand. The position of the Polish King is not hereditary and is the result of a unanimous vote of the Congress.

This also means that a king is elected, and every member of parliament has a favor to the king.

Moreover, because the Polish nobles could not reach a consensus with the rule of the king from their own country and unite as one, they could only support foreigners to the throne of their own king.

Since 1736, the Polish crown has been worn on the head of Augustus III, Elector of Saxony and King of Poland.

But the parliamentary system resulted in Augustus having little power.

What's more deadly is that Poland's political situation is simply a sharp sword piercing the heart of Poland.

According to the regulations, any member of Congress can rely on the "free veto" to interrupt or terminate the meeting.

Even if a resolution has been approved by all other members of parliament, only one vote against it can overturn all resolutions.

And this ticket can be exchanged for money.

This has made Poland completely unable to carry out any reforms. Not only can the country not be united, but foreign forces that can exchange money for tickets will not allow Poland to become stronger.

Poland is struggling in repeated internal strife, waiting for its future.

The secret letter from Russia was delivered to King Augustus of Poland, but Augustus didn't even read it, and the secret letter fell into the dust with other secret letters that were piled up into a hill.

Accompanying the secret letter was also a copy of "Pie Eyre", which also suffered the same fate.

Augustus felt a little unwell, had long been disappointed in the Polish Diet, and had given up any political endeavors at all.

And when the secret letter was passed to the current king of Sweden, Frederick I, his face was bitter.

Along with the letter is also a copy of "Peter Love".

Frederick I's wife was Ulrika Eleanora, sister of Karl XII.

In 1718, Karl XII was killed in the war against Norway, and Ulrika Eleonora succeeded to the throne.

During her reign, she tried her best to deny Peter I's vested interests in Sweden, which aroused the resentment of the Russian nobles, which led to a new round of Russia's war against Sweden.

At this time, Sweden was caught in a war against Norway, and Russia's blow was fatal to Sweden.

Queen Ulrika Eleonora tried to form an alliance with Sweden's old rival Britain through diplomatic channels. Although the goal was finally achieved, the alliance fleet of Britain and Sweden was finally defeated by the Russian fleet, and Sweden lost its last stronghold.

In 1720, Ulrika Eleonora was overthrown, the Palatinate Dynasty perished, and her husband Frederick I succeeded as King of Sweden.

Russia, on the other hand, obtained the export of the Baltic Sea through the "Nystad Treaty". Since then, Sweden has been in a slump and disappeared from the list of European powers.

During Ulrica Eleonora's reign, Congress rejected her idea of ​​co-kings with Frederick, who became concubine.

After Ulrika Eleonora was overthrown, Frederick became Frederick I.

But under his rule, Sweden embarked on the path of a constitutional monarchy.

In 1723, the parliament became the highest authority, and the participants included four levels: priests, nobles, bourgeois and peasants.

When Parliament is adjourned, the affairs of state are handled by the Senate, the King is set aside, and in the Senate there is only a chief administrator, but with two votes.

During this period, Frederick I spent most of his time hunting and entangled with his mistress.

He also became the first king of Sweden to have an official mistress.

Three years ago, in 1741, the war between Sweden and Russia broke out again. Sweden was defeated and signed the Orb Peace Treaty with Russia. Petrovna's will designated the king of Sweden.

The king of Sweden is a name, and the highest authority, the parliament, was frightened again, completely in accordance with Queen Elizabeth's wishes.

First, it was planned to make Karl Peter Ulrich, the nephew of Queen Elizabeth, the king, but Peter was taken to Russia as the crown prince.

It was also planned to make Peter's guardian, Adolf Frederick, the younger brother of Queen Elizabeth's fiancé, the king. Later, the next Swedish king became the Queen of Sweden, named Johanna.

Frederick I knew that his good days in Sweden were coming to an end, and he dared not disobey Russia at all now, let alone use his useless two-vote veto.

He only hopes to cooperate well and give the next Swedish queen a good impression, so that Johanna can put him back to Hessen after becoming the Swedish queen, and continue to live a happy life.

So after he finished reading the secret letter, he showed no expression on his face, instead he acted like a bystander, only shocked by the enormity of Peter described in the letter.

Then I opened "Pie·Ai", and my eyes could not help but light up when I looked at it.

Immediately ordered the attendants to fetch pen and paper, and wrote to the Russian emperor:

"Dear Your Majesty Peter III, Frederick I greets you. Your book "Pie Eyre" is simply a masterpiece. I opened it and read it as soon as I held it in my hand. I couldn't help being deeply intoxicated. , your writing is so beautiful and unforgettable, and the love you describe in it is so amazing that I can't sleep at night. Please forgive my abruptness. I would like to ask you to allow me to publish your masterpiece in Sweden and Hesse. Spread it widely, so that everyone can hear your holy name."

"At the same time, I sincerely implore you, I welcome Princess Anhalt at any time, Madame Johanna as Queen of Sweden, I will do everything in my power to make this happen, I only hope that you and Madame Johanna will be generous enough to allow a poor The frustrated man returns to Hesse to spend his lonely and helpless old age, and I shall be grateful to you for your permission, your faithful servant, Frederick."

After finishing writing, Frederick I prepared some wording and revised it several times before ordering the letter to be sent to Russia, where it must be delivered to His Majesty Peter III.

Now it doesn't matter about face or face. Frederick I knew that Sweden would welcome a new queen in the near future, and there was no room for resistance at all. He could only try his best to fight for a good retreat for himself.

Moreover, although he has only read a few pages of the book "Pie Love", he can undoubtedly conclude that it is definitely a masterpiece!
