Penning's fears soon became a reality, and when Paul I's bill to investigate the number of serfs owned by the nobles was sent to the Duma Council of the Russian Empire, it caused an uproar throughout the parliament, and almost all the nobles stood up against Paul I's bill.
But for Paul I, he did not take these nobles too seriously.
After the death of Catherine II, including the rampant rebellion of Brankoff, nearly half of the nobility of St.
Petersburg was purged by Paul I, and the military power of St.
Petersburg was also arranged by Paul I into the hands of people he trusted, in addition, Bagration and Rumyantsev were the favored generals of Paul I.
Under such circumstances, the idea of the invincibility of the whole country was born in the heart of Paul I.
But Paul I ignored that the commander-in-chief of the army was indeed a trusted general of Paul I, and even these generals were very loyal to Paul I.
But these generals are commanders after all, and most of the junior officers in the army, including middle-level generals, are still held by the children of the nobility, in this case, once the entire aristocratic class is united, the consequences will be fatal.
Paul I's proposal for a thorough survey of the number of serfs became a catalyst for the unification of the aristocracy, and almost all the nobles stood together when their own interests were threatened by the imperial power.
Under the tandem of Nikolai, a large number of mid-level generals of the current military in St.
Petersburg, including the emperor's Praetorian Guard, were united, and while the Duma was controversial about the emperor's proposal, the generals also held urgent deliberations for many days.
High-ranking generals, including the Governor of St.
Petersburg, Semenovsky, the Guards Overseers Uvarov and Preaplazhensky, and the Janissary Commander Talykin, were also co-opted by Nikolai.
Knowing the current situation, Panning can be said to be shocked three times a day, and after Kazaviv looked for Panning three times, Panning finally decided to participate in the plan of these people.
Everyone knew that Penning was the teacher of Paul I, and now that the united power of the nobles was getting bigger and bigger, Paul I, who lived in the palace, did not take any countermeasures against all this.
All this made Pan Ning's heart cold, and he also began to worry about his situation.
If the nobles were victorious, Penning would undoubtedly be a martyr, after all, Penning's identity was there, whether he supported Paul I or not.
And if the emperor wins, to some extent, Penning will not get any substantial benefits, even because of the emperor's proposal.
Penning's own family will also be hit hard.
Under such circumstances, Penning finally decided to go over to the side of the aristocracy.
On September 1, 1791, after dinner, Paul I returned to his bedroom and lay down in bed under the service of his attendants.
Not long after Paul I lay down in bed, Penning and a group of Praetorian Guard officers broke into Paul I's bedchamber.
"Penning, Nikolai.
Tarekin, what's the matter with you?
” Seeing his courtiers hurrying into his room, Paul I was not aware of the danger, and in his opinion there must have been some national event, so these courtiers broke into his room.
Nikolai's eyes gestured to Penning, and seeing Nikolai's small movements, Penning stood up hard "His Majesty the Great Emperor.
I am waiting for this time to come for the sake of His Majesty the Emperor's proposal, and a thorough investigation of serfs is a complete disaster for the Empire, so I hope Your Majesty will give up!
” After Penning finished speaking, Paul I's face was already full of shock "Just for this matter, how dare you openly break into my dormitory, I am the emperor of the empire, you dare to come and disobey the emperor's orders!"
As he spoke, Paul I suddenly noticed that the men in front of him had weapons in their hands.
He hurriedly shouted: "Ahh Someone!
How dare you!
Do you want to force the palace to kill the king!
” Paul I's shouting didn't cause any waves, as early as when Nicholas and the others broke into Paul I's bedroom, the guards outside the door had already been replaced, not forgetting that the Overseers of the Guards and the Commander of the Praetorian Guard were all involved in Nikolai's conspiracy.
Now outside the palace of Paul I are Nicholas and his men, who will not pay attention to any shouts of Paul I.
"Your Majesty the Emperor, you better give up, now the people outside the door are all my people.
If you are interested, write an edict to pass the throne to the crown prince now, and then you can still save your life.
If you don't change your mind.
Then tomorrow will be the Empire's Day of National Mourning!
” After Nicholas's words, Paul I was silent for a long time.
"So, today's event Alexander is also involved?"
Nicholas did not answer Paul I's inquiry, but sometimes not speaking was the best answer.
"Haha, since I succeeded to the Great Unification, I have tried my best to govern the empire, how could I have thought that you would be so disobedient, it's just that, since I have been forced to such a point today, even if I die, I will not surrender to your rebels, I want to see what will happen to your rebels!"
"Your Majesty the Emperor, why are you suffering?"
"Nikolai, there is no need to say more, the matter has come to this point, and I have nothing else to think about except to be ashamed of my ancestors and ancestors!"
Hearing that Paul I's words were still dead, Nikolai was secretly cruel in his heart, and he gestured to everyone around him, and then saw Nikolai, Penning, Talykin, Uvarov, and Preapyrensky all walking to the royal bed.

Nikolai stepped forward and pressed Paul I's hair, and Penning picked up the pillow and handed it to Tarekin.
Uvarov pressed the two legs of Paul I, who were constantly kicking, and the remaining Talykin and Preaplazhensky took the pillow and pressed it firmly on the face of Paul I.
The suffocated Paul I struggled violently, but there were so many enemies that Paul I's resistance was ineffective.
After a while, the Emperor's legs stopped kicking, but the crowd was still pressed with the pillow against the Emperor's face.
After a long time, Nikolai shouted "Alright, let's all disperse!"
After saying that, everyone left the imperial couch, and Nikolai gently took off the pillow that covered the emperor's face, only to see that the emperor's face had been swollen and purple, and Nikolai put his hand on the emperor's nose and could no longer feel any breathing.
"Pan Ning, you sort out here, and the rest of the people will follow me to welcome His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to the throne!"
Hearing that he had left himself, Pan Ning hurriedly asked: "What do you say about the cause of His Majesty's death?"
"It is said that a poisonous snake entered the palace and bit His Majesty the Emperor to death.
By the time we found out, His Majesty the Emperor was already in the sky!
” With that, Nikolai led the group out of the room, and after a while only the bodies of Penning and Paul I remained.
Looking at the corpse of Paul I, Penning couldn't help but feel sad in his heart "Your Majesty, why are you so troubled, the minister has advised you many times, why don't you listen to me.
Have you ever thought about today's ending?
” As he spoke, Penning fell on the corpse of Paul I and whimpered.
Penning had been with Paul I longer than anyone else, and he knew how ambitious this majesty was, but all these ambitions were built to the detriment of the nobles, who were so easy to humiliate.
Although Pan Ning also participated in the murder of the emperor, he still retained a trace of affection for the emperor in his heart.
But sometimes.
Politics is so dirty, whether you want it or not, the problem of taking sides is inevitable, and those who want to please both sides often die the worst.
A poisonous snake entered the palace and killed the emperor, which is the cause of the emperor's death that Nikolai said.
Yes, it is indeed a poisonous snake, and sometimes the human heart is actually more poisonous than a poisonous snake.
For their own benefit.
People can do anything, dare to do anything.
A large crowd poured into Alexander's bedchamber, and Alexander seemed to know what they were coming for, and as soon as Nikolai entered the room, Alexander asked: "What about His Majesty's edict?"
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, when the ministers arrived at His Majesty the Emperor's bedroom, His Majesty the Emperor had been bitten to death by a poisonous snake that came out of nowhere!"
Hearing of the death of Paul I, Alexander was shocked.
Nikolai and others forced the palace.
Alexander knew that even he was one of the masterminds behind the scenes, but he didn't expect the emperor to be so ruthless that Nikolai and others were forced to die.
Apparently Alexander did not believe in Nikolai's claim that the emperor died in the mouth of a poisonous snake, how could a poisonous snake sneak into the palace, you must know that in the palace, not even a mouse or a sparrow could sneak in, and those Janissaries were not standing ornaments.
Alexander sat down on the couch in a gloomy mood.
He looked at Nikolai "You...
You....
You ............."
In the end, nothing was said.
Seeing that Alexander had nothing to say, Nikolai hurriedly said: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, now that His Majesty the Emperor is already in the sky, the empire cannot live without the emperor for a day.
The ministers also asked His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to ascend to the throne of the emperor as soon as possible, and the prestige of the empire was in all directions!
” "Please ask His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to ascend the throne as soon as possible, and the prestige of the Empire will be in all directions!"
After Nikolai finished speaking, a group of people around him hurriedly bowed down to Alexander, and asked Alexander to be crowned on the throne.
Alexander didn't know what to say, but in his heart he resented Nikolai.
Although Alexander was brought up by Catherine II since he was a child, and he had little contact with his father at all, Paul I was his father after all.
And now that Paul I died suddenly, he Alexander immediately ascended the throne, so what will the world think of her Alexander!
In the eyes of the people of the world, isn't he Alexander a rebel who killed his husband for the throne!
"His Royal Highness the Prince, why are you still stunned, in this situation, Nikolai and they have no way out, if you refuse, I can't say that these people will be unfavorable to you!
Besides, isn't it your long-standing wish to be crowned on the throne!
” While Alexander was silent, one of the people standing beside Alexander hurriedly and quietly persuaded Alexander's ear, and then the attendant looked around at the people who were kneeling down and said: "Your Highness, these people have all remembered that if you are not happy after you ascend the throne, you can wait for the rule to be stable and eradicated, and it is not too late for the gentleman to take revenge!"
Under the persuasion of this attendant, Alexander finally made up his mind.

I saw Alexander take a deep breath and then say to Nikolai and the others: "Get up, His Majesty the Emperor died in an accident, which no one expected, but as you said, the empire is not without a king for a day, so be it.
Nikolai, later you go to the Privy Council to take out the edict of His Majesty the Emperor, in addition, His Majesty the Emperor has just come to heaven, and the empire is now in a difficult period, so I will not take the throne for the time being, but I will still handle all the state affairs!
” "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince said yes!"
After seeing that Alexander had come down, Nikolai and the others breathed a sigh of relief.
They were afraid that something would happen to Alexander, and now that Alexander had agreed, the next steps could be completed.
Paul I did not leave a succession edict?
What are you kidding, since the prince said that there is, then there must be, even if there is none.
Even if it is not His Majesty's own handwriting, it can be said that His Majesty the Emperor was bitten by a poisonous snake and wrote it by His Majesty the Emperor when he was dying, and the edict must be stamped with the Emperor's seal in the end.
On September 2, 1791, St.
Petersburg officially announced the death of Paul I, and the death of the emperor immediately caused turmoil throughout the empire.
The bill, which is still in the Duma, gave hope to all the poor and serfs, but now His Majesty the Emperor is dead.
This means that the life of the serfs will return to the way it was before, or even worse than before, which makes some people very unwilling.
It is true that the junior officers and mid-ranking generals of the Janissaries were the sons of nobles, but the soldiers were mostly civilians, and the soldiers of the St.
Petersburg city defense army and the soldiers of Rumyantsev and Bagration, who were now fighting abroad, were mostly made up of poor people and serfs.
Paul I's policy of treating serfs well was naturally seen seriously by all, and these soldiers were also supportive of Paul I.
So when St.
Petersburg just announced the death of Paul I, there was an uproar in the lower echelons of the St.
Petersburg city defense army.
A part of the soldiers, instigated by some people, chanted the slogan that His Majesty the Emperor had died in a coup d'état, and began to gather towards the Duma parliament.
As time went on, more and more soldiers and civilians surrounded the gates of the Duma, and these people waved banners demanding a thorough investigation of the cause of the death of His Majesty the Emperor, and at the same time demanded the adoption of a thorough investigation of the number of serfs and the policy of treating serfs well!
Of course, these demands were rejected without hesitation by the Duma, who claimed that the nobles and serfs were decided by God, and that God's decision could not be changed by anyone!
Even when the people who saw the gate gathered more and more, the Duma urgently mobilized the emperor's guards to suppress it.
And when the soldiers of the Guards on tall horses appeared not far from the Duma Council, the whole of St.
Petersburg was boiling.
The protesting crowd shouted slogans that the Duma is a traitor to the people and the nobles are the murderers of the monarch and launched an attack on the Duma parliamentary premises, while some of the soldiers armed with weapons immediately began to launch a counterattack against the soldiers of the Guards who had come to suppress them.
By the time the sun set on September 2, the drama of St.
Petersburg was staged at its best.
Thousands of soldiers of the St.
Petersburg City Defense Army spontaneously organized themselves and the Guards fought in St.
Petersburg, and some civilians and serfs also launched an attack on the nobles who were usually high-ranking under the influence of this situation.
"Crazy, all crazy, these pariahs, how dare they resist!
Come, order the army to immediately exterminate the rebels and the serfs and civilians who dare to resist, and immediately transfer the troops outside the city into the city!
” When the Governor of St.
Petersburg, Semenovsky, learned that the rebels were approaching the palace at one point, His Excellency, who was furious, immediately ordered to send troops from outside the city into the town to suppress it.
But just as the governor had finished speaking, he saw that the staff officer beside the governor immediately said: "Your Excellency the Governor, many of the troops outside the city are also untouchables, and if this part of the army is put into St.
Petersburg, there may be much chaos, so I think it is better to send people to Vsevolozhysk, where two Cossack cavalry regiments are stationed, and transfer those Cossacks to suppress them!"
After the staff officer's words, Semenovsky thought for a moment as if there was some truth, but then he frowned again and said: "However, the military discipline of those Cossacks is simply so bad that if you let these people into St.
Petersburg, you may get me into a lot of trouble!"
"Your Excellency the Governor, I can't take care of so much now, suppressing those untouchables is the first priority now, and there is no need to think about anything else for the time being!"
In the end, Semenovsky agreed with the staff officer and sent someone to Vsevolozhk to mobilize the two Cossack cavalry regiments there.
"Brothers serfs, we are all our own brothers, those noble lords sit on our heads every day, they beat our bone marrow with hammers and hammers, we must not live this kind of life again!
Think about what you can get after you have worked hard for a lifetime!
Those damn aristocratic lords are still going to snatch our women and snatch the last grain in our hands, in the eyes of those aristocratic lords, we are not even as good as pigs and dogs!
What do we do to protect them from such aristocratic lords!
God is merciful to the world, and all men are equal in God's eyes!

= Everyone takes up arms, we can't live like this!
We want to be free!
We want the future!
” Such words sounded everywhere among the serf soldiers, and the serfs were also aroused by the anger of being bullied by those noble lords on weekdays, and roared, and all the serf soldiers began to attack those guards soldiers frantically.
