Struggle in Russia

Of course, this is just Viscount Prozolov complaining in his heart. Although he can understand the thoughts of those young people, it is really impossible for him to follow them. After all, from a certain point of view, he is also one of the vested interests, that is, the dividends he enjoys as a vested interest are very limited, but limited is better than nothing!

However, after that experience, Viscount Prozolov began to pay attention to those common people. In the past, he had the same idea as those noble colleagues, thinking that these common people were ignorant and uneducated and could only do hard work.

But now he feels that this group is actually a big treasure trove, and there are countless talents in it. Maybe they have not received traditional aristocratic education, and they do have one or another small problem in etiquette.

But these are all flaws, they do have a strong ability to handle affairs and can solve practical problems.

According to Viscount Prozolov's idea, after helping Grand Duke Constantine pass the current hurdle, he will suggest that Grand Duke Constantine promote more civilian elites, and make the first pot of gold from this treasure house!

But now, he thinks that Ralph is pretty good. If he can persuade this guy to come to work, not to mention that he will be even more powerful, at least he is not afraid that there will be no one who can deliver the important task.

But he still has to deal with Raffle first, otherwise everything will be empty talk. He smiled and said, "Don't you believe that Grand Duke Constantine has this ability?"

After pondering for a moment, Raffle nodded honestly, and Viscount Prozolov had already prepared a speech:

"That's because you don't understand how powerful Grand Duke Constantine is, and you don't know why Peter Barek and Shuvalov and his like want to attack Bestuzhev Ryumin!"

It's not that Lavre doesn't know anything. Whether it's from the military police or from Petrovna, he has inquired a lot of inside information. For example, he knows that it was Shuvalov who really attacked Bestuzhev Ryumin. The reason is that Shuvalov wants to take advantage of this.

It’s just that he knows these things as long as he knows them, and it’s best not to say them, unless they are useful. Now, he can’t see the benefits of speaking them out, so he just asked very cooperatively: “What do you say? Tell me, why?"

In fact, this is a process of mutual testing. Prozolov wants to know how many hole cards Raffle has, and Raffle also wants to use this to see the background of Grand Duke Constantine. This can be regarded as a hit!

Viscount Prozolov thought for a moment, and then said loudly: "Peter Barek and Shuvalov are both Count Uvarov's people, by the way, do you know this Count?"

Raffle really doesn't know Count Uvarov,

So Viscount Prozolov had to explain to him the status and power of Count Uvarov, as well as the grievances between him and Grand Duke Constantine.

Then he continued: "In order to completely kill the possibility of Grand Duke Constantine inheriting the throne, Count Uvarov has been trying to attack, slander and frame His Royal Highness over the years. This time is just another confrontation between the two sides."

"After all, not long ago, His Royal Highness just won a sentence beautifully, took control of the Black Sea Fleet in one fell swoop, and made Earl Uvarov's running dogs into a mess... They were unwilling to fail, and they thought of this It's a despicable trick, to achieve the goal of hitting Grand Duke Constantine by framing Bestuzhev Ryumin."

This explanation really opened Lavre's eyes. After all, although Petrovna has been with Shuvalov for a long time, there are some things that Shuvalov still can't explain to her so clearly. It was even more foggy.

Through Viscount Prozolov's explanation, he finally figured out the cause and effect of the matter. In addition to lamenting the fight between the gods of the high-level nobles, he also secretly worried for Petrovna.

Because only the level of Shuvalov can make Petrovna beyond redemption, but this also involves the higher-level Count Uvarov. For them, the struggle between such big men is like a fight between gods and gods, and even a breath can smash them to pieces. And how foolish it must be for Petrovna to expect a share of it!

Raffle was a little anxious in his heart, but he pretended to be calm, and said to Viscount Prozolov without changing his face: "And then? How is your Highness planning to win this round? Excuse me, I can't see You have a little hope of turning things around!"

Viscount Prozolov seemed to have expected that Raffle would say this a long time ago, and he replied unhurriedly: "There are too few things you can see at your level, how do you know that there is nothing we can do without arrangements?"

Answering like this is actually a shame, because even if Raffle broke the casserole and asked the bottom line, Viscount Prozolov could still use secrets to prevaricate.

However, Ralph is not an ordinary person. He did not dwell on this question, but asked a more critical question:

"Really? Let me guess. Probably you still want to make a fuss from Bestuzhev Ryumin or Shuvalov, trying to prove that Bestuzhev Ryumin did not issue the warrant. Everything is Shuvalov's conspiracy, right?"

This guess is not entirely correct, because Viscount Prozolov knows that Bestuzhev Ryumin is doomed. Even if it proves that he is wronged, the bunch of moths he made by keeping his mistress will basically be cut off. his official career.

Nicholas I will never use him again, so the fundamental purpose is not to clear the suspicion of Bestuzhev Ryumin, but to drag Shuvalov into the water, so that Nicholas I realizes that the conservatives are against Kang Grand Duke Standing is famous, this is the most important thing.

However, Lavre generally did not say anything wrong. After all, the route is still the same. Even if it is not to save Bestuzhev Ryumin, it is still necessary to give him a hand.

And there is a very important question, how to prove that Bestuzhev Ryumin is innocent?

Both Raffle and Viscount Prozolov knew that Petrovna was the most critical witness on this issue. So the two looked at each other and smiled, probably understanding each other's intentions.

After a long while, Viscount Prozolov broke the silence first with a big wave of his hand: "Tell me, what are the conditions for your mistress!"

Ravel immediately felt a lot more relaxed. He tossed and tossed so much because of this sentence, and the next negotiation is likely to determine Petrovna's fate and future, so he suddenly became cautious. ...
