Struggle in Russia

Peter Barek didn't feel particularly embarrassed, but a little annoyed. He thought that Shuvalov's arrival was too unlucky, and he was just a little bit away from fooling Grand Duke Constantine into telling him the truth, but everything was messed up in the end. .

Shuvalov didn't know what happened to this guy suddenly, and he seemed to be getting more and more brain-dead as if he had taken gunpowder. However, he also ignored Peter Barek, and instead said to Grand Duke Constantine:

"Your Highness, I heard that you are looking for me?"

Grand Duke Konstantin was actually taken aback by Shuvalov just now. This guy came too suddenly without any warning. No wonder Viscount Prozolov said that this guy is a conspirator, so he didn’t run away just to show off. .

However, Grand Duke Constantine was not afraid of him, but said confidently: "Yes, I am looking for you!"

Speaking of which, he deliberately didn't go on. This is the speaking skill he learned from Nicholas I. If you want to take the initiative, you have to hide and hang others away, otherwise the clown will be yourself.

In the estimation of Grand Duke Constantine, Shuvalov should ask why he was looking for him. At that time, he will give him three axes first. It is best if he can knock him out. It's good for a while.

Grand Duke Constantine's plan is very good, but Shuvalov is a person who does not follow the routine. He even said to Grand Duke Constantine: "I am really sorry, Your Highness. I have too much work recently and I really don't have time Welcome, if you absolutely need me to serve you, then please wait for a few days, and when I finish handling the work at hand, I will definitely go to your house in person to serve you!"

Look at what he said, he didn't agree with Grand Duke Constantine's words at all, and at least his words seemed to be respectful. There was no way for Grand Duke Constantine to find fault, and his plan fell through in an instant and became a joke.

Anyway, no one else knew, Peter Barek was secretly laughing. He had run into a wall with Shuvalov before, and today he finally saw that other people were as frustrated as him, and this other person was Grand Duke Constantine, so it seemed so relieved and so refreshing!

As for Grand Duke Constantine, he was said to be stunned, because how did this make him lose his temper? There is no way to have an attack, okay, even if he wants to use those excuses later, it seems that he is very petty.

Immediately, Grand Duke Constantine hit a soft nail, which blocked him enough. But this is not an ordinary person, he is thick-skinned and ruthless, even if he is a little embarrassed, he will ask the crime regardless:

"Really? But I don't need your services. I can't afford one, and I don't want to use a criminal to do things for me!"

Shuvalov frowned,

The reason why he came in a hurry was because his subordinates reported that Grand Duke Constantine was coming aggressively, and he seemed very confident. He was familiar with the personality of the Grand Duke. He would not be so strong when he was not sure, so his sudden attack was probably mastered. Something against him.

Although Shuvalov couldn't guess what it was, he knew it was absolutely terrible. So before he entered the door, he had made sufficient mental preparations, and naturally he was not too nervous when facing Grand Duke Constantine's attack.

"Your Highness, where do you start with this? Although I am not perfect in what I do, I still serve the country with full enthusiasm. Even if there are some omissions due to limited ability, it is definitely not a crime!"

Grand Duke Constantine sneered at first, and then sneered: "Speaking is better than singing. If you can actually do one-tenth of what you say, thank God! Earl, you are my son. The first hypocrite I've ever seen!"

Facing Grand Duke Constantine's direct slap in the face and accusing Shuvalov, he was very calm, as if he was not the one being scolded, he calmly replied: "Although I personally have no responsibility for your duties just now, no, I should say I am so outraged by the humiliation. But I still have a clear conscience. If your intention in coming today was to humiliate me, you have already done it. If you have nothing else to do, please forgive my rudeness. I have more important work to do Do it, and I won't accompany you!"

After saying that, Shuvalov turned around and was about to leave, which made Grand Duke Constantine very angry. Why?

Because he felt that what he said just now was already very serious and severe, if it was an ordinary person, he would definitely get rid of himself immediately, maybe he would have to argue with him. And he, who has a lot of clues about Shuvalov, is not afraid of this kind of wrangling at all. He has a hundred ways to slowly humiliate Shuvalov and ruin him.

But what he didn't expect was that Shuvalov didn't accept the move at all, and he wasn't angry. The attitude towards him is: you want to scold me? Then it's up to you to scold me, I won't lose a single hair. Anyway, I just ignore you, leaving you alone and unable to perform the show.

Suddenly Grand Duke Constantine was a little confused, he paused and roared: "Stop, you can't go!"

Shuvalov didn't mean to stay at all, he just turned around and bowed to Grand Duke Constantine, and said: "Sorry, Your Highness, I don't have time to play such childish games with you. If you If you really have an opinion on me, then please go directly to the court to sue or tell Your Majesty, everything has its own judgement. And now I don't need to waste time doing these boring things, please forgive me, I'm resigning!"

Grand Duke Konstantin really went crazy now, because Shuvalov couldn't catch Shuvalov if he was slippery or not. The harder he tried to catch him, the smoother he slipped. There is no way to let him now!

Grand Duke Konstantin knew that he must not let Shuvalov leave just like that, otherwise the conversation just now would be spread, and outsiders would only think that he was unreasonable and unrestrained, and instead made Shuvalov a good reputation.

And according to Viscount Prozolov, the core figure of the Ukrainian conservatives is Shuvalov. Only by defeating him can the conservatives be drawn out, and the conservatives will be in chaos, and they will have a chance to turn defeat into victory.

And his task is to use the handle given by Petrovna to get Shuvalov to step down, so that he will no longer have the opportunity to command the conservatives in Kiev, so he absolutely cannot let this person go away like this.

Immediately, Grand Duke Constantine's eyes turned red, and he shouted angrily: "Stop! Do you think you can escape responsibility by saying this! I came today to expose your true face to the world. If you are not a guilty conscience, Why are you hiding!"

Now that this is all said, Grand Duke Constantine thinks that Shuvalov can't leave, right? But he underestimated this person too much. Not only did he not stop after hearing this, but he ran even faster...
