Chapter 27 Asan ascends the throne (continue to add more and ask for favorites)
It is not unusual for Alexander to know that George can ride a horse. Nicholas and Georgi have both seen it.
Not many people know that George started practicing shooting.
George knew that the Yekaterin Palace must have the Tsar’s spy.
When this was confirmed, George still shuddered.
Looking back on what he did during this period, although it was a bit outrageous, it didn't seem to be treasonous, so George felt a little relieved.
Letting Catherine sell champagne in the name of the royal family should not be considered treason -
In this case, George will also write to Catherine in the future. Be careful, you will fall into the abyss if you are not careful.
“Nicky’s body is too weak and he should strengthen his exercise.” Christian IX hoped that his grandson would have a good body.
"When they are older, I will arrange for them to join the Guards." The "them" here in Alexander should also include George.
"Is it too early?" Prince Albert also wears a military uniform. It is a tradition for members of European royal families to join the military.
Although George is taller than his peers, he is only nine years old after all -
He will be ten next month.
"George, are you willing to join the Guards in advance?" Alexander's test comes anytime and anywhere.
Joining the Guards depends on how you understand it. Active joining is definitely different from passive joining.
"I'm ready, I can do it at any time." George did not hesitate. This was his responsibility and obligation as a duke.
From a family perspective, George is exempt from military service because he is the only son.
Before Milyutin’s military reform, Russian nobles were exempt from military service. After the reform, the children of nobles must also serve.
Of course, if you really don’t want to be a soldier, there are still many ways.
For example, spending money to buy a disease certificate from a doctor that makes you unfit to join the military. This method is still effective in the 21st century.
George is not sick, and he does not want to evade military service. His only thought now is to get as far away from St. Petersburg as possible. The closer he is to the center of power, the more dangerous it is.
"Good boy, I hope that one day, your chest will be filled with medals." From Alexander's perspective, Christian IX is George's elder and is qualified to say this.
Ordinary soldiers have to risk their lives to get medals, but it is very simple for those in power to get them.
Russia's famous "Xunzong" has won 104 medals alone, which is unprecedented and unprecedented.
After a banquet, George was exhausted both physically and mentally, so he returned to the Imperial Manor and fell asleep.
The next day was Alexander's coronation ceremony.
The enthronement ceremony was held in the Kremlin. George came to the Kremlin early and served as Alexander's royal guard of honor with his Grand Duke and his cousins and nephews from European royal families.
The task assigned to George is to carry a canopy for the Tsar. This is a special honor that only members of the royal family are qualified to undertake.
The Tsar's canopy was lifted by dozens of people. Those closest to the Tsar were all members of the Romanov family, and the outer circle were relatives of the emperor. They were not qualified to lift the pole, and each person was only assigned a symbol. Sexual chain.
Alexander and Maria walked under the canopy, surrounded by the Grand Dukes, from the Kremlin to the Assumption Cathedral to receive the blessing of the Patriarch. The Patriarch is the supreme leader of the Russian Orthodox Church and the current Patriarch. The Patriarch was Joachim I.
Behind the tsar's gorgeous canopy was a huge crowd of spectators. About 8,000 people attended Alexander's coronation ceremony. Security for so many people is a big problem. Some time ago, an assassin claimed to assassinate the Tsar during Alexander's coronation ceremony. Therefore, the security level of the Kremlin on this day was unprecedentedly high. Only invited guests were eligible to enter the Kremlin to watch the ceremony.
The Patriarch, whose beard was long enough to be braided, was one of the most powerful men in Russia, and Alexander needed his blessing to become the true Tsar.
Like Ya Er’s funeral, the procedures for the coronation ceremony were extremely cumbersome, but everyone who witnessed it looked proud. It was indeed their honor to witness the coronation of the Czar, but George only Feeling tired.
Nicholas and Georgi wore the same military uniforms as George and followed George.
Nikolai probably already knew that Alexander would send him to the Guards in advance, so he was very excited all day today. Like Georgi, he did not want to go back to Gatchina.
“Why can you all go to the Guards and leave me alone?” Georgi was very sad. He was obviously one year older than George, but he had to stay in Gatchina due to physical reasons. Keep being a kid.
"Shut up, don't talk--" George didn't squint, concentrating on the words.
The Tsar is receiving the blessing from the Patriarch. At this time, he is whispering to each other. Do you want to die?
Oh, it is his father who is receiving the blessing, so it’s okay.
George's Tsarist father was gone and he had to be cautious.
After the Patriarch blessed Alexander, Alexander became Alexander III.
Maria also received the blessing. It was because of the lack of this procedure that Catherine could not become the queen.
After receiving the blessings of the Patriarch, the Tsar and the Queen will return to the Kremlin to accept the congratulations of leaders and royal members of various countries, and at the same time accept the allegiance of governors and commanders from various places.
George came in behind Sergei, offered his loyalty to the Tsar, and was rewarded with a smile from the Tsar.
Maria said nothing.
George had no expectations in the first place, so naturally he would not be disappointed.
After the allegiance ceremony, there was another banquet. George did not need to show up this time. He had enough presence today.
At San's enthronement ceremony, George is the most high-profile member of the royal family besides the Tsar and Crown Prince Nicholas.
It is rumored that after Ya Er passed away, George was relegated to the sidelines and might not even be able to keep his title of super duke.
Now it seems that this is not the case at all. During the enthronement ceremony of Ya San, George's status was no different from that of his grand duke brothers.
The most important thing is that the relationship between George and Crown Prince Nicholas is quite good.
This means that even if George was not taken seriously during the Asian San era, George can still make a comeback after Nicholas ascends the throne.
The royal family has no shortage of licking dogs.
There is no shortage of people burning cold stoves.
George knows his own family affairs, and Yasan's attitude towards him depends on Nicholas' academic performance.
It’s not that Nicholas is unintelligent, but he has no interest in learning, which is why his grades are poor.
Nicola's English teacher was Charles Heath, who effectively inspired Nicola's interest in learning English. Soon after, Nicola was able to communicate with Heath in English proficiently.
Lonzon's teaching method is not very good. Hugo's poems may be useful to college students, but they are too profound for Nicholas and are far less effective than George's Soviet jokes.
Although Nicola's French has not yet reached the level where he can communicate fluently with people, it is much better than before. Ya San is very satisfied with George's work.
