Struggle in Russia

In Viscount Prozolov's view, the most important thing at the moment is not to attack Shuvalov immediately. It is not impossible to do so, but the effect is really not good.

why? Because their strength in Kiev is still too weak, and with the arrest of Bestuzhev Ryumen and his henchmen, the conservatives can be said to be the dominant family in Ukraine. Even if Grand Duke Constantine went off in person, it was not so difficult to wrestle with them.

Viscount Prozolov felt that the most important thing right now was to contact his allies to accumulate strength, and waited for further news from St. Petersburg.

"Wait?" Grand Duke Constantine was a little dissatisfied, and muttered: "When will I have to wait, Peter Barek has already put the knife on my neck, and they will really start Already!"

These days, Grand Duke Constantine has been pissed off by Peter Barek. This governor doesn’t sell him any face, and his requests are either perfunctory or directly rejected. Grand Duke Constantine has not been rejected since childhood People who have been so neglected are naturally furious.

Naturally, he wanted to get rid of Shuvalov as quickly as possible, and he couldn't wait to slap Peter Barek in the face and let out a breath of anger.

However, Viscount Prozolov said: "Your Highness, if you can't bear it, you will make trouble. For now, let Peter Barek be arrogant. Our top priority is to gather strength to win in one fell swoop. Before that, let him be proud for a while." ..."

Grand Duke Constantine looked at Viscount Prozolov with a distressed expression. He was very unwilling to accept this suggestion, but considering that Viscount Prozolov's performance in this section was so good, he not only pointed out the direction for him, but also gave him The key witness Petrovna was sent, so more or less he had to show some face.

"Then how long will we have to wait?" Grand Duke Constantine asked unwillingly.

Viscount Prozolov sighed in his heart, and explained patiently: "I suggest that you speed up all the people around you who have a bad relationship with Count Uvarov, and unite them to deal with Count Uvarov... In addition , I guess there will be news from St. Petersburg soon, we must see what His Majesty means!"

"People around you who don't have a good relationship with Count Uvarov?" After Grand Duke Constantine muttered, he became more and more unhappy.

The reason is very simple. He knew that Viscount Prozolov meant to let him contact Alexei or Kornilov and others, because they were the only surrounding forces that had a bad relationship with Uvarov.

However, as long as Grand Duke Constantine thought about what happened before, he would be full of anger and resentment towards these people. It would be better to kill him than to ask these people for help.

Anyway, he was 10,000 unhappy about it, so after thinking for a while, he deliberately skipped the topic, and asked directly: "Viscount, what do you think of the emperor's attitude?"

Viscount Prozolov sighed again. He knew that Grand Duke Constantine didn't listen to his words at all, but he didn't want to give in to Alexei and others first. In his opinion, this is really petty. As the saying goes, those who make big things don't care about small things. The so-called big things don't just refer to trivial matters, but they must have a certain mind.

Even if you hate it in your heart, you must compromise when it is time to compromise. How can you become an uncle if you don’t become a grandson first?

Besides, it doesn't mean that you will be a grandson for the rest of your life, and you will settle the account with the other party after the big deal is done. At that time, you didn't just do whatever you wanted, why bother to make a small loss at this critical juncture?

But Viscount Prozolov also knew that he couldn't persuade him any more, because he had already touched the temper of Grand Duke Constantine, and his current attitude made it clear that he didn't want to hear it. If you don't know how to advance or retreat, continue to surround him His constant persuasion only serves the purpose of annoying you.

So after sighing for a while, Viscount Prozolov answered Grand Duke Constantine's question solemnly: "His Majesty's attitude does not depend on His Majesty himself. It is difficult to know how he will make a choice. But generally speaking, there are the following: a possibility..."

"Either he gets angry, directly dismisses Bestuzhev Liuming and severely investigates his responsibility, and blames you, or he will reprimand you severely!"

Grand Duke Constantine's face suddenly turned bitter. This possibility is the greatest and the last thing he wants to see. His old man loses his temper and is more terrifying than Ivan the Terrible. If he is angry, he may completely Give up on him.

Viscount Prozolov smiled secretly in his heart. He deliberately mentioned this possibility in front of him, in order to beat Grand Duke Constantine and increase his sense of urgency and crisis. Only in this way can this stubborn donkey recognize In fact, this is the only way for him to lose face and contact Alexei and the others.

Viscount Prozolov deliberately paused for a while before talking about the second possibility: "However, with His Majesty's wisdom, it is not difficult to see that there are many doubts in this case. If someone gives a little guidance, he may suspect that this is a conspiracy against you. Although Anger is inevitable, but he will not choose to act impulsively, and may send one of his most trusted ministers to investigate the truth."

Grand Duke Constantine's eyes lit up immediately. If this was the possibility, wouldn't it mean that he had great hope for turning around, and he could even take the opportunity to do something to give Earl Uvarov eye drops.

Viscount Prozolov glanced at him, then shook his head in his heart. The Grand Duke is so naive. If things were really that simple, they would still be sitting here discussing and discussing countermeasures, waiting for Nicholas directly. It's fine to send someone to rescue him in the first life, but what do you need to do if you can win while lying down?

So he said to Grand Duke Constantine very unceremoniously: "But this possibility is too small, it can almost be said to be a one in ten thousand chance... What's more, His Majesty is surrounded by more conservative ministers. I don't have any good impressions of you, Your Highness, and it's really..."

Viscount Prozolov didn't say what it was, but he knew that Grand Duke Constantine would understand.

Sure enough, the joy that had just appeared on Grand Duke Constantine's face disappeared immediately, and was replaced by deep worry, because Viscount Prozolov was right, the most indispensable thing around Nicholas I was Conservatives, expecting those people to give him justice, that is simply a dream...
