"Next, the Ministry of the Interior made every effort to track down the real culprit who assassinated His Majesty the Tsar. We can't let go of a mastermind behind the scenes anyway! Prime Minister Previ ordered.

"Yes, Your Excellency Prime Minister!" Home Secretary Stolypin replied.

However, he was well aware that this was just talk.

Even if there is really a mastermind behind the scenes, I am afraid that it will not be caught in a lifetime.

"Gentlemen, what matters most now is the new Tsar candidate after His Majesty's death. If according to the law of succession to the throne, then the first heir to the throne is Grand Duke Mikhail. Prime Minister Previ continued.

"According to the law of succession to the throne, Grand Duke Mikhail is indeed the first choice for the new tsar!" The director of the Orthodox Church's affairs administration, Pobedonosschev, said immediately.

Although Grand Duke Mikhail is in the southern region, he also has his people in the cabinet.

Porbedonoschav and Alexander III had good personal relations, as well as relations with Grand Duke Mikhail. At this time, of course, it is time to speak for him.

"If His Majesty the Tsar has no heirs, His Excellency Grand Duke Mikhail will inherit the throne, and there is no problem. But His Majesty the Tsar already had Grand Duchess Olga Nikolaevna. If it is customary, Her Excellency the Grand Duchess is the first choice! Finance Minister Sergey Vitt said.

Sergeevit was also a close friend of Nicholas II, and he was well aware that Nicholas II hated Grand Duke Mikhail very much.

He even secretly suspected that Nicholas II had been assassinated, and he was afraid that Grand Duke Mikhail was inseparable. No, all this was planned by Grand Duke Mikhail.

It's just that he has no evidence, and he knows that this kind of thing can't be said casually.

However, he could not watch Grand Duke Mikhail inherit the throne and become the new tsar. In that case, there would be no way to take Grand Duke Mikhail.

In addition, Grand Duke Mikhail will definitely not let him go.

Sergeevit was a well-known corrupt official in the Russian Empire, and since he took over the financial power of the Russian Empire, he did not know how much money he had made.

"Grand Duchess Olga Nikolaevna should indeed have the right to inherit. But she is only half a year old now, and His Majesty the Tsar did not announce a change in inheritance during his lifetime. Foreign Minister Izvolsky said.

For the choice of the heir to the throne, the cabinet of the Russian Empire and the top officials of the military had serious differences.

Some people believe that the law on succession to the throne should be followed and Grand Duke Mikhail declared the new successor to the tsar.

But there are also people who support Grand Duchess Olga Nikolaevna, even if she is only half a year old now, she can completely inherit the throne and become the female tsar of the Russian Empire.

After all, in the history of the Russian Empire, there were not no female tsars.

In this regard, the top echelons and peoples of the Russian Empire were not opposed to the use of women as tsars.

"Her Excellency the Grand Duchess is only half a year old, and she has no ability to govern the country at all. Now the country is in trouble, with a lot of trouble. If Her Excellency the Grand Duchess is allowed to inherit the throne, how will the country be governed? Pobedonoschav asked rhetorically.

"Although Her Excellency the Grand Duchess is young, there will always be a day when she grows up. Until she grows up, the cabinet can fully assume the responsibility of governing the country. I will also fully support him! Grand Duke Nikolai said.

Grand Duke Nikolai knew very well, unless he took out Grand Duke Mikhail. Otherwise, he would not have succeeded to the throne at all. Therefore, he strongly supported the succession of Grand Duchess Olga Nikolaevna.

In this way, at least until Grand Duchess Olga Nikolaevna comes of age, he will be able to hold great power.

Prime Minister Previ could not help but frown, if this is the case, then it is a very good result. The powers of his cabinet prime minister can also be further expanded.

However, he also knew that this might cause great turmoil in the Russian Empire. Grand Duke Mikhail, in particular, will definitely not accept it.

If Grand Duke Mikhail is nothing more than an ordinary member of the royal family, then that's it.

But Grand Duke Mikhail is a tough local prince!

If one is not good, the Russian Empire is very likely to fall into civil war.

"If we support Her Excellency, what if Grand Duke Mikhail is against it?" Prime Minister Previ asked.

"He has no right to object at all. If he refuses to recognize the inheritance of Her Excellency the Grand Duchess, it is treason. The army will not let it go! Grand Duke Nikolai said directly.

Even, Grand Duke Nikolai wanted Grand Duke Mikheil to resist, so that he could send an army to suppress it. At that time, the Grand Duke Mikhail was directly deprived of the right to inherit the throne. So, isn't he one step closer to the throne?

After a short meeting, the Cabinet of the Russian Empire did not reach a consensus. However, there are clearly fewer voices in favor of Grand Duke Mikhail.

And Grand Duke Mikhail soon learned the news, which made him even more furious.
