Solovyov in Tsarist Russia 1796

To be honest, Alexander may not be as diligent as Soloviev in his injured state when he works.

Soloviev is now sitting in front of the desk. In fact, he feels that his recovery speed is relatively fast. This is because he is relatively young, and it is only a fracture of his left arm. He took timely treatment and will not be left with any disability.

Think about the emperor himself, who plays dangerous communication games with his sister all day long. As for why it is Catherine?

In addition to Olga, who died in infancy, Alexandra, a girl who loves poetry, married her cousin. Although she is the most talented, she is shy like Louisa; Elena is the most beautiful and the smartest, but Alexander's tricks don't work well on her; as for Maria, it is really meaningless to tease her, and it is easy to turn into begging her brother to listen to her playing music and singing; Anna is still a child, and when she sees Alexander, she asks her brother to hug her.

No matter how you look at it, Catherine is the most suitable. She is also very keen on writing letters to people. Even in the palace, when the two people's bedrooms are not far away, she will do so.

If this tsar is really "diligent", he may go a step further in the direction that my grandmother likes.

However, there is one thing that is worth affirming when he works like this. Bringing together ministers from various departments for meetings will greatly improve work efficiency. Although Nikolai Rumyantsev and others opposed it, he still pushed forward this departmental reform with the support of his close friends.

But with Alexander's usual compromise, the committee still exists, and it still exists before it is considered "incapable of working". He performs between reformers and conservatives, liberals and reactionaries all day long. He always cherishes his feathers and indulges in performances all day long, making people unable to figure out his pulse.

While Solovyov was in Stockholm, he also began to publish poems in French newspapers in Stockholm, signed with his own name, and then there was a long paragraph of explanation.

Considering that Sweden is also friendly to Chinese culture, and Solovyov has already selected some poems from these Southern Dynasties Yuefu for translation in St. Petersburg, he will always get some good reviews.

Some of them were only translated for Louisa by him before, in order to amuse her or adjust the atmosphere when flirting.

Of course, for the Queen of Sweden, since they are sisters, the lethality is not small.

When she and Mary were listening to the newspaper, they also felt the charm of the translated Chinese poems. In particular, Solovyov had written the analysis of the poems. If it involved a legend, he also introduced the background according to the story he could recall.

"Very interesting, Mary, I think Louisa would be moved when she read this in Petersburg."

However, the two of them did not realize in the chaise longue that Louisa was often told in her ear and heard when hugging each other, which might be more lethal at that time.

"It's a pity that all his poems are translated works, which can only show his talent, mainly in this aspect. But Michael is really good. If all Russian officers are like him."

"Mary."

"Will there be any problems with your sister's marriage?"

Mary was thinking about her elder sister. Frederica was a little bit wrong, but she appreciated these poems and showed them to her husband.

Gustav IV was always a little bit stupid, but he received a good education and could appreciate that these were good poems. Sweden also had a "China fever" and was more or less curious about this aspect.

So, Solovyov, whose arm was still hanging and could feel that the healing had not yet recovered, was summoned to the court in Stockholm and was asked to bring some unpublished poems.

"This is very interesting. You should go, Solovyov. If you have a good relationship with the Swedish royal family, it will be convenient for you to do anything next."

Budberg said so, and he had no way to resist, but was ready. This time he was going to the Swedish Royal Palace.

Gustav IV was more interested in the novels, stories and poems he translated. He said so when he spoke, but it seemed that the Queen wanted to summon him.

Of course, people like Soloviev who have been with Paul for a long time have a bit of chivalry and Don Quixote-like stubbornness.

And Frederica came to meet him with Crown Prince Gustav in her arms, and Gustav wanted him to show his poems, which had been discussed before. The short and long poems were selected, their background and meaning, and the historical stories contained in them.

After listening, Gustav IV also said it was good: "You are an outstanding young scholar, why don't you work in an academy?"

"I was already a member of the Russian army when I was a child, and I don't have a suitable reason to retire at present. Your Majesty, my emperor sent me here, hoping that the two countries can have long-term friendship, both from the perspective of blood and in-laws."

On the word "in-law", Soloviev deliberately emphasized the tone, which made Gustav a little uncomfortable.

But he only suffered on this issue, Sweden had become a laughing stock among the German states on the issue of marriage.

"I think we can also hold a banquet to entertain the poet, Your Majesty."

Frederica came to the rescue, and Gustav was not vague. He called the court servants to prepare dinner.

Frederica was more interested in her sister Louisa's current situation in Petersburg, and Soloviev had been in the palace for a long time before, so he should have a deep understanding of this aspect.

Indeed, Frederica should never have had the opportunity to know what her sister is like now.

And what Gustav mentioned now was how the palaces in Petersburg were built.

"I heard that your palaces were not built for a long time, Major."

"Yes, Your Majesty, you have been to Petersburg before, stayed in Count Stroganov's villa, and watched a real-life chess game. During my time in Petersburg, this kind of game was only held once. The palaces in our country were all built after Peter the Great. The newest palaces are the Alexander Palace and Mikhailovsky Palace built by Her Majesty the Empress for the current emperor."

"I also hope to have the opportunity to visit again. It would be better in the summer. I heard that at this time, the climate in Peterhof is very pleasant to escape the heat."

"But you also need to know one thing, Your Majesty, that is, in the English Garden area of ​​Peterhof, there are always people plotting against their will. When I was in the Guards, it happened more than once during the night patrols. It is still safer in Peterburg and Tsarskoye Selo, where the Guards are stationed for a long time."

Soloviev said this, still implying that the British were not safe, and he couldn't tell whether Gustav understood it.

Anyway, players with lower ranks are easy to be puzzled, and he couldn't figure out some of Gustav's arrangements.

And what Frederica wanted to ask was about Louisa's recent situation.

"Louisa, my sister, how is she in Petersburg?" Because the king was present, the queen was more comfortable. After all, at this time, the queen didn't need to be introduced by the chief court maid before she could speak. This is different from Russia, where Louisa spoke more casually, and the queen and Paul preferred her. The sisters have similar personalities, but Louisa and Mary are better at studying, and the queen is relatively superficial.

"Are you referring to our Queen, Elizabeth Alexeevna?" Solovyov has always been a master at pretending to be confused. Frederica clearly asked him about some situations when she summoned him last time.

"Yes, my sister's original name was Louisa Maria Augusta. We went to St. Petersburg together. I haven't seen my sister for many years. I have said before that I miss her very much. And this year, sister Louisa will also come to Sweden, so our family is reunited. Unfortunately, sister Caroline is in Munich."

"Your Highness, things are not always perfect. Even a comedy will always have some flaws in the process."

"Thank you, Major, you are very good at talking."

"Thank you for the compliment, Her Majesty. I think this fresh herring is very delicious. As for the pickled Herring, that's terrible, I don't know who came up with this dish, if it's in a can, it might be even more terrible. "

"What are you talking about, canned food?"

"Yes, Your Majesty, if you use a glass bottle or an iron box, it's fine, but I don't have a good idea for how to keep it fresh. You should also know that a person cannot be omnipotent. If the omnipotent is not God, then it's Satan."

However, this sentence stepped on a landmine. Gustav IV himself is still quite pious, but he still maintained his dignity. After all, the other party is from Russia and cannot be offended casually.

Gustav IV can be so capricious and arrogant on the issue of engagement, probably because the war between Russia and Sweden ended in a stalemate, so he didn't listen to his uncle's advice, and the requirements for Alexandra's conversion were still very strict.

But it's different now. The Russian army has not started a war in any direction. In terms of absolute strength, the Swedes are not good, unlike the last war when Sweden and the Ottoman Empire formed an alliance and could support each other.

Being arrogant at first and respectful later makes people laugh.

"If that's the case, maybe our country can do something. The iron from the Engelsberg Iron Mine is of extremely high quality and can fully meet your country's needs. And I also know that Count Alexei Bobulinsky is the uncle of your emperor. I really envy you Russians. The royal family has such a close relationship. The brothers and sisters have a good relationship, and there are so many people. And our country..."

The Vasa dynasty has a small population, and the party struggles in Sweden are very fierce. The actions of these people always make people feel abstract.

This point is really emotional. Only Gustav IV of the Swedish royal family has the next generation. Frederica is the healthiest among the married and engaged Baden sisters. And after Gustav married such a daughter-in-law, he has been around her. Although he is lustful, he likes his daughter-in-law's beauty. This seems to be able to solve the problem of the Swedish royal family's lack of population.

"Your Majesty, you can rest assured about this. We will raise Gustav and Sofia and have more children."

The biggest problem for Gustav IV is that he is slandered behind his back by the Swedish nobles. Just like Paul is always suspected, he is considered not to be the child of Gustav III.

But Paul is genuine, with the same temper as Peter III, which is a layer of anti-counterfeiting mark.

Gustav IV is not as good as his father, so this rumor may be brought out at any time and form a fatal blow to him.

"Okay, we're sorry, Major, we made you laugh."

Gustav IV's unstable abstraction is not very similar to Gustav III. It's a problem to get along with him, but Gustav III is a well-known monarch who treats his subjects well.

You two are not the same at all, so it's no wonder that some people would doubt it. It's terrible to make something out of nothing.

Soloviev was watching Gustav IV's embarrassing performance here, and he was a little helpless. However, Sweden's blacksmiths are also good, not worse than their carpenters. Because of the limited population, they are in such an awkward position and can only be a second-rate country.

"If you have any needs, you can speak directly at this time."

"Your Majesty, I want to travel to Malmö. After all, I'm a young man, and my arm recovers faster. I can visit the beautiful scenery of southern Sweden along the way."

"That's not bad. You can go to Malmö and Gothenburg from Stockholm."

Gustav IV actually knew that the Russian army was more likely to come from Finland.

But in the Baltic Sea, where the salinity is very low, the ice lasts for a very long time, and anything is possible.

After hearing this, Solovyov felt that it was a good idea. If he took this route to visit southern Sweden, he would almost reach the place where Louisa visited Sweden in one round trip, and he would have to take the route to and from Finland.

And he also observed Gustav's expression. The king obviously didn't realize how dangerous this was. He seemed to think that exporting ironware and iron ore to Russia was a good deal.

For Solovyov, this was already a plan.

He tried his arm again. As long as he didn't fall off the horse or get hit by a fat man, there should be no problem. For orthopedic recovery, it was already very fast. He was very young and had enough nutrition, so there was no big problem.

But here, he didn't bring the trotting horse given to him by Paul to Sweden, so he had to find a place to buy a horse himself.
