On May 2, 1796, Tsar Nicholas II, under the protection of the guards, took a carriage with Empress Alexandria Feodorovna from the Imperial Village on the outskirts of Petersburg back to the city.
The current Nicholas II could be said to be in high spirits.
He was only twenty-eight years old, but he was already the ruler of the largest country in the entire western world.
He was also a monarch with great ambitions, or rather, a great talent. However, perhaps the current world situation was very unfavorable to him. Or rather, this era was very hostile to him, resulting in his tragic end.
One had to know that in another spacetime, his sect had been tragically annihilated. He, his wife, four daughters, and one son were all killed.
Of course, Nicholas II didn't know all of this.
He had just ascended the throne and was planning to make a big move to make the Russian Empire even stronger under his leadership.
"Nicholas, are you going to deal with Michael?”Queen Alexandria asked.
As the wife of Nicholas II, she knew her husband very well. He also knew that Nicholas II hated Grand Duke Michael to the bone.
"Of course! The Russian Empire could only have one emperor and one ruler. His father favored him back then, but this was wrong. This would cause the entire Russian Empire to split up. The great Russian Empire would be thrown into chaos because of this. I have to solve this problem as soon as possible. This way, he would have more energy to deal with other problems!”Nicholas II was determined.
Even though Grand Duke Michael was his younger brother, he had already made up his mind to get rid of the independent forces in the south.
The current Russian Empire could be said to be plagued with internal and external problems. The internal contradictions were sharp, and the people were in dire straits. The Sun Never Sets Empire was still chasing after them.
Nicholas II did not want the Russian Empire to continue like this.
"Will Michael surrender? Will there be a risk of civil war?" Queen Alexandria was worried.
"Don't worry, everything is under my control. Next, I will arrange for people to bribe the officials, generals, and officers of Mihail. There was nothing that money couldn't do. Soon, Michael would be deserted. At that time, if he is willing to kneel in front of me and repent of his sins, I might forgive him. However, he could only stay in Petersburg for the rest of his life.”Nicholas II looked as if he had won.
In his opinion, as the emperor of the Russian Empire, he had millions of troops under his command. At the same time, he also controlled the huge wealth of the royal family. He had also received the support of the entire Russian Empire. No matter what, his chances of winning were very high.
Even if Grand Duke Michael took over the Caucasus Military Region and the Black Sea Fleet. However, Nicholas II still believed that Grand Duke Michael was no match for him.
An hour later, Nicholas II's convoy was not far from Petersburg.
At this moment, a carriage full of food stopped by the side of the road.
The middle-aged coachman looked distressed.
"What happened?" One of the guards was on high alert.
"Sir, the shaft is broken, we can't go!”The coachman looked helpless.
The officer led his men to check and confirmed that there were no problems. Nicholas II's convoy continued to move forward.
The coachman stood beside the carriage with his head lowered, looking very respectful.
However, just as Nicholas II's carriage passed by, an accident happened.
The coachman took advantage of the fact that no one was paying attention and pulled out a fuse at the bottom of the carriage.
"Boom!"
In less than two seconds, an earth-shattering explosion sounded.
The huge explosion directly blew the carriage into pieces. At the same time, Tsar Nicholas II's carriage was also destroyed.
One had to know that at the bottom of this carriage was a specially made mezzanide. Two hundred kilograms of explosives were placed inside.
After the coachman detonated the explosives, he directly blew himself into pieces. Similarly, Nicholas II and his wife were unable to escape. Even though they were slightly further away, they were still killed on the spot by the violent explosion.
The guards protecting Nicholas II also suffered heavy casualties.
The commander of the guards, General Alexei, and the other surviving guards were all dumbfounded. They had never expected such a thing to happen.
"Protect His Majesty! Quick, protect His Majesty!" General Alexei shouted.
The other guards seemed to have regained their senses.
However, when they moved the broken carriage away and carried out Nicholas II and Empress Alexandria, who were badly mutilated, both of them were no longer breathing or beating.
"General, His Majesty the Tsar and the Empress have already gone to heaven!”A guard officer said with a sorrowful expression.
Major General Alexei felt the world spin and almost fainted.
He knew that something big had happened. The sky of the Russian Empire had collapsed. There was a big problem!
"Quick, report to Petersburg immediately that His Majesty the Tsar has been assassinated!”Major General Alexei ordered.
As for what the outcome would be, and where the Russian Empire would go, it was not something he could decide.
