Struggle in Russia

Old Adlerberg was caught in a dilemma, whether to do it or not to do it, he was constantly entangled in the battle between heaven and man, but a voice from the side rushed ahead:

"Your Majesty, the crown prince's words are also old-fashioned and prudent. Although they lack vigor, they are more prudent, and they can be regarded as words for the country."

It was Count Rostovtsev who spoke, Gangzhen, this count really seldom speaks in the imperial meeting, so he really spares words like gold, either Nicholas I called the name, or the matter is really critical, Otherwise, he would never speak easily.

But today he actually spoke for Crown Prince Alexander for the first time, which is really rare.

It was so rare that Nicholas I showed a bit of surprise, because Count Rostovtsev usually does not speak about such trivial matters, but this time he did so, which means that the count thinks the situation is serious and needs him to speak up.

Nicholas I was a little puzzled, is the matter really so serious? He just criticized Crown Prince Alexander a few words, right?

But immediately he thought of another possibility, that is, Count Rostovtsev was indirectly expressing his attitude to him.

What attitude do you show? Naturally, it was to express his attitude towards the crown prince. Obviously, the earl thought that the crown prince Alexander was more suitable, so he spoke for the crown prince for the first time. It must be like this!

Immediately, Nicholas I fell into deep thought. He still trusted Count Rostovtsev's eyes. Constantine strong?

Nicholas I was a little undecided. Don't look at him as smelly and hard like a rock, but in fact he is far less firm than he thinks. Under the subtle influence of the important ministers around him, he was actually easily led astray. His so-called firmness was just a gesture and an illusion.

So once Count Rostovtsev spoke for Crown Prince Alexander, his previous decision was immediately shaken, and he began to waver again, and he began to hesitate. To be honest, Crown Prince Alexander is actually quite like him in this respect.

So Nicholas I immediately softened his tone: "Since the earl has said good things for you, forget it, use your brain more when you do things in the future, and don't just think about making love!"

Crown Prince Alexander was surprised. He was really wronged just now, especially when Menshikov winked at old Adlerberg and the latter was "indifferent", he was really ashamed, thinking that he had been abandoned by the whole world .

Who would have thought that the sudden turn of events, Count Rostovtsev, who had never been talkative, would actually speak for him, and immediately softened his staid, stubborn and unreasonable father. It was a pleasant surprise!

Immediately, Crown Prince Alexander's "eyes filled with tears" was so touching to Count Rostovtsev! I feel that this earl who doesn't like to speak very much is the real important minister and pillar of the country. Although he doesn't show much at ordinary times, neither showing favor to him nor being intimate with him, but he is so reliable at critical moments!

Look at Menshikov and old Adlerberg, especially the latter, this bastard is usually very affectionate, but when it comes to critical moments, he loses the chain and pretends not to see it, what the hell!

If the old Adlerberg knew what Crown Prince Alexander was thinking at this time, I am afraid that he would cry without tears. Where did he lose the chain, he was forced to be helpless, okay, there is a reason for this! Listen to his explanation, okay?

But at this time, Crown Prince Alexander is not interested in listening to this guy's explanation, he only needs to look at the action, what's the use of saying something without action?

Besides, Nicholas I has now entered the next topic. He has lost for a while just now. If Constantine is allowed to take the lead, where will he put the face of the crown prince!

"How is the situation with Ivan Fyodorovich?"

Because the Black Sea Fleet made a bad start, Nicholas I was really worried that "father" would also have problems.

After all, Moldavia and Wallachia are nothing more than scabies, and if there is a big problem in Austria, it will really lose the country and cause a big problem.

After all, the most terrifying thing for Nicholas I was the revolution, and now the revolutionary movement in Austria has become more and more violent. If Paskovich messes up, he might be on fire.

Fortunately, Chernyshev did not give him bad news: "Your Majesty, according to the Duke's latest report, his troops are fully prepared and their morale is high. As long as you give an order, you can crush those rebels!"

This powerful answer made Nicholas I very satisfied. Fortunately, the army did not lose the chain, and it was still as reliable as ever. But the navy... Thinking of the navy, Nicholas I looked at Menshikov again. The navy or Menshikov really disappointed him. Since last year, I have been making jokes constantly, and things have always gone wrong, what are they doing!

Menshikov actually saw Nicholas I's dissatisfaction, and he regretted it a bit at this time. If he knew before today, he should have warned Mark Mikheevich to restrain himself, and to collect money in a moderate way, otherwise Wouldn't it be sad to make flowers die?

Of course, the saddest thing is that this guy made him a scapegoat, which is very annoying. As a result, he has now been passively sent to his grandma's house. How should he explain it to Nicholas I?

Actually, Menshikov is really old, because what Nicholas I wanted was no explanation at all, even if you Menshikov explained it in a hype, you can shirk the relationship between the Mikheevich brothers and you What's the use if it's clean?

Can conjure food for Gorchakov? Can the combat power of the naval infantry of the Black Sea Fleet be instantly MAX?

Obviously, Menshikov's explanation can't do this, and naturally Nicholas I didn't want to hear his explanation. In fact, the best way for Menshikov to save points now is not to explain, but to wipe his ass quickly.

If he tried his best to send food to the Black Sea Fleet without saying a word, or dispatched elite soldiers from other fleets to rush to help, or help Gorchakov with supplies, it would be more useful than his dry explanation Much more!

But this time Grand Duke Konstantin reacted before Menshikov again, and he said to Nicholas I decisively: "Father, I think the most urgent task is to solve the material problem that Duke Gorchakov continues to supply." , we should mobilize food and other supplies immediately... Otherwise, I worry that the counter-insurgency operations in Wallachia and Moldavia will be greatly affected..."
