Chapter 28
"Bastard! How can you point your gun at the Queen Mother!" Anna shouted at the soldiers, "Don't you get out of here!"
"Yes, Your Highness Princess!" The soldiers tacitly put away their guns and made way for Anna. Anna hurriedly ran to Alexandra and comforted her, "Mom, don't worry, they are all my guards."
Seeing his daughter, Alexandra felt relieved for the time being, but when she saw her daughter's clothes, she frowned: "Dear, what's wrong with your outfit?"
Anna did not answer, but took out a document and handed it to Alexandra, "Mom, please sign it on this."
"Is this?" Alexandra opened it and found that it was Alexey's order book. Alexandra slowly read it, her brows getting tighter and her face became more and more ugly. "Anna, who wrote this? I don't believe that my child Alexey will have such orders." Alexandra asked coldly.
"It was written by Uncle Mikhail." Anna did not hide it. "This is my idea. Uncle is just a ghostwriter."
"You?!" Alexandra looked at his own daughter in disbelief, holding the last trace of luck, and asked, "Is it that Mikhail who threatened you, Anna, you are my daughter! Now that your father has just passed away, only we orphans and widows are left, so conspirators like Mikhail have the opportunity to take advantage of it."
Alexandra cried as she said that. She grabbed Anna's shoulders and kept shaking, "Mikhail, you are confused by him at all, wake up!"
"Bang!" Alexandra covered her mouth and was shocked: Anna actually dared to hit her. The hot pain on her left cheek made Alexandra angry, "You rebel!" Alexandra instantly stretched out her hand and shook it at Anna.
"Ah!" Alexandra shouted in pain, "Let go, let go!" The soldiers were all very surprised. Anna grabbed Alexandra's right hand tightly, and no matter how hard the other party struggled, she could not get rid of it: Alexandra's hand seemed to be clamped by iron clamps.
This is the result of physical transformation. Anna's current physical strength is similar to that of an adult man. With the strength of Alexandra, a woman, how can she easily get rid of it?
Anna looked at her mother coldly and suddenly exerted force. As a result, Alexandra fell under the bed several times. "Listen, protect the Queen Mother!" Anna ordered before leaving.
The next day, the new Tsar issued the first decree since ascending the throne: because Empress Dowager Alexandra Fedorovna was unwell, he appointed Grand Duke Mikhail Alexandrovich as the regent and assisted the emperor in handling government affairs. At the same time, under Anna's instruction, Alexey promoted Earl Dimir to marquis and expanded Mikhail's military power. As a result, Mikhail jumped from commander of the army to commander of the group army, with a force of 220,000, and controlled one-seventh of the country's strength.
Although Alexandra was under house arrest, Anna was still in a state of tension. After all, she still had three sisters. In order to further stabilize the situation, Anna had to send troops to guard their residences and not allow them to go out. At the same time, she had to comfort Alexey. This little devil who clamored to see her mother every day was really a headache!
Fortunately, Aibiya is a maid full of maternal glory. Every time Alexei clamors for his mother, Aibiya's warm arms can always calm him down. Seeing that Aibiya is so capable, Anna simply lets her take full care of Alexei's daily life and try to make her brother forget her original mother.
Mikhail was a pure soldier. Although he became the Regent and had the obligation to assist the emperor in handling government affairs, most of the time, the important task of handling state affairs was on Anna's shoulders. Most people in Russia didn't know that national affairs were decided by Anna, the little kid.
The first thing Anna did after taking power was not to hold the coronation ceremony of the new Tsar, but to spend money to build a monument in the square in front of the Winter Palace to commemorate the victims of the "Bloody Sunday" in 1905. Anna also ordered the spies to find the families of the victims of that year and give them a certain pension.
Anna understands that although it is a bit suspicious of doing this, she wants to use this incident to show her attitude to the Russian people: the new Tsar has a kind heart.
On September 9, the New Tsar family arrived in Moscow by train to attend the upcoming coronation ceremony. In order to prevent accidents, Anna allowed her mother Alexandra to go with several sisters, but they were all under the close surveillance of the soldiers and they could not walk around casually before the ceremony was held.
On September 12, the coronation ceremony was held in a low-key manner. The ceremony was held on Red Square east of the Kremlin. Most of the foreign guests attending the ceremony were ambassadors of various countries to Russia. The ceremony was very simple. After a brief military parade, the bishop of Basil Cathedral personally put a crown on Alexei. Finally, Alexei accepted the celebrations of the nobles and foreign guests on the rostrum.
It only took 4 hours before and after the ceremony, and it was impossible to compare with the luxurious coronation ceremony of the previous Tsar Nicholas II. However, after the ceremony, countless carriages brought many boxes, and the guests on the ceremonial table looked at it curiously, wondering what were the tricks.
Soon, the answer was revealed. The servants opened the box - it was full of small gift bags. At this time, everyone understood: the Tsar wanted to distribute gifts to the people. The people watching the ceremony gradually flocked to the carriage, and the order began to be chaotic.
Anna would not let the same thing happen: on May 18, 1896, Nicholas II was crowned. A grand garden event was held in Heden Square outside Moscow. The square was filled with circus and various stalls. People heard that according to traditional customs, the Tsar would give gifts to the masses, so many people rushed to Heden Square and gathered more than 500,000 people in the land about nine square kilometers. The square was uneven, with many potholes and ditches, and the government did not take any safety measures. As a result, the crowd started to stir up the people in front, 2,000 people were killed and tens of thousands were injured. She had already arranged for the police to maintain order, and before the ceremony, she ordered people to repair the Red Square and fill some potholes.
But even so, there were still some rogues who were making fun of each other. They frantically scrambled for gifts and even fought for it. At this time, the dedicated police took action, and all the people who were making fun of each other were handcuffed, and more than a dozen prison vans were ready for them.
