Struggle in Russia

The reason why Grand Duke Constantine came to find Grand Duke Nicholas was to continue to care for his little brother who lacks love and self-esteem. Of course, it is also good to spy on the information by the way, but these are all incidental. He cared about Grand Duke Nicholas completely out of brotherhood. Believe it or not, he thinks so anyway.

It’s just that Grand Duke Konstantin did not expect to eat a big melon just after entering the door. A few seconds ago, he was still listening to Grand Duke Nicholas bragging about how he was so foolish, and how so so that Count Rostovtsev had to give in. , as if he had done some great business.

As a result, as soon as he turned his head, the so-called detailed instructions sent by Count Rostovtsev directly caused Grand Duke Nicholas to overturn on the spot, turning into a face-slapping scene in seconds, and almost killing Grand Duke Nicholas on the spot.

Grand Duke Constantine looked at Grand Duke Nicholas who was full of indignation, smiled and said lightly: "You don't have to be too angry, these old foxes are all the same. Playing word games and these small tricks are first-class Great, I also suffered a lot back then!"

After listening to Grand Duke Constantine's words, Grand Duke Nicholas' face looked a little better, but he was still brooding, as long as he thought of the expression of Grand Duke Mikhail next door after he saw the detailed report, he felt that Panicked with embarrassment.

"Actually, you've done a good job. When dealing with others, I guess the earl would refuse on the spot. How could he think of using this method to fool things!"

Grand Duke Constantine gave another word of comfort, and then said intentionally or unintentionally: "If you want to really understand the earl's purpose, such an official article is useless, they are well versed in this, and there are thousands of ways to perfuse it. "

Grand Duke Nicholas heard something, and immediately asked with a smile on his face, "Do you have another way?"

Grand Duke Constantine smiled inscrutablely, and did not answer directly, but held the goblet and shook the red wine inside, obviously implying something.

Such an obvious hint that Grand Duke Nicholas can understand, they are all born by a mother, who doesn't know who! Obviously, Grand Duke Constantine is asking what benefits he can get if there is a way!

Grand Duke Nicholas hesitated for a moment, then said after deliberation: "Second brother, you also know that we have a mission on this trip, father and elder brother are watching! You will make it too difficult for me!"

Grand Duke Constantine sniffed the red wine, and replied slowly: "Then you just watch the second brother being bullied by me? Don't tell me that you don't know what Shuvalov has done. You think this is my fault." Is it wrong?"

Grand Duke Nicholas stopped talking immediately. In all fairness, Grand Duke Constantine was indeed the victim this time.

He also sympathized with each other. But, who made the eldest brother the crown prince? You have been competing with him, don't fight for the position, and you are not happy that he will clean you up? If you say that you asked for it yourself, wouldn't it be good to honestly recognize your position and be a virtuous king of Taiping?

Of course, Grand Duke Nicholas would not say these words directly. If he said it directly, he and Grand Duke Constantine would not be able to continue talking, and they might turn their faces.

He could only laugh dryly: "Who is right and who is wrong is not the most important issue. The problem is that you don't have the upper hand! I don't have anything I want to help you, so don't make things difficult for me!" "

Grand Duke Constantine spat in his heart: Little fox, you dare to play with me like this, your wings are stiff, you kid, and you don't take me seriously any more.

However, he didn't turn his face directly, but replied kindly: "Is this what I'm making difficult for you? I didn't let you come to Kiev. I still know what kind of character you are. I know that you have nothing to do with power. Interested, so do you think your second brother has disturbed you before? Did he take the initiative to drag you into the muddy water?"

Grand Duke Nicholas curled his lips in his heart, and thought disdainfully: "That's because you looked down on me at all, and didn't take me seriously at all, otherwise it would be strange if you didn't cheat me with your character!"

But he said: "That is, that is, you still take good care of me, brother, but you also know that my ability is really limited, and there are some things that I really can't do!"

Grand Duke Constantine put the wine glass on the tea table, and said nothing but pretended to leave, but now Grand Duke Nicholas couldn't bear it anymore, and hurried up to grab him, begging: "Don't go! I haven't finished talking, and you haven't taught me what to do! What should I do if you leave?"

Grand Duke Constantine glanced at him with a sneer, curled his lips and said: "Cold salad! Your second brother, I am a mud bodhisattva, and I can't protect myself when I cross the river. How can I teach you how to do things. Now we brothers have our own difficulties in this situation. Seek happiness for yourself!"

Grand Duke Nicholas naturally couldn't let go, so he could only continue to persuasion: "I know you must have a way, how about this, no matter what news I inquire from Count Rostovtsev, I will tell you a copy Son, how is it?"

Grand Duke Constantine turned his head and stared at him. Although he didn't say anything, Grand Duke Nicholas felt hairy for no reason.

It took a while for Grand Duke Constantine to say: "Your words are all about this. If my brother forces you again, then I will not talk about brotherhood. All right, I will not make it difficult for you, as long as Rostov Earl Zev or if you find out that other people are going to rape me from behind, let me remind you, then we will still be good brothers!"

Grand Duke Nicholas nodded quickly, and said simply: "Okay, we will make a deal!"

After negotiating the conditions, the two brothers who had their own ghosts sat back on the sofa again. Grand Duke Konstantin took a sip of what he put down before, and said slowly: "You want to inquire about Rostov's son?" It is useless to engage in official business. He has a hundred ways to fool you, and the only way is to keep an eye on the people under him, such as his secretary Sergey. It’s impossible to do it yourself, right? You have to send someone to do it! If you keep an eye on Sergey, you’ll know what he’s doing!”

This method made Grand Duke Nicholas a little stunned, not that he could not accept it, but that it was a bit embarrassing to do so. Whenever the princes and nobles became sneaky peeps like the dog spies in the third part.

This made Grand Duke Nicholas, who had always been educated by nobles and thought himself superior, could not accept it. He felt that gentlemen should not peek at other people's letters. As for blatantly following and monitoring, it was even more dirty. Are you doing such an unfashionable thing?
