Struggle in Russia

Fyodor looked at the cowards who had calmed down, he knew that his words had worked, at least this group of people planned to continue to listen to what he had to say, instead of looking mournful like before, ready to leave the group and go home or switch The look of Shuvalov.

It's just that Fyodor knew that this was only temporary, and if he or Grand Duke Mikhail couldn't come up with something that satisfied these people, the situation would collapse in minutes.

Thinking of this, Fyodor looked at Grand Duke Mikhail next to him again, how he hoped that the Grand Duke would wake up and make up his mind to act like a real man. If Grand Duke Mikhail can do it, he will be very happy, because as a teacher and friend, Fyodor's only wish is to train Grand Duke Mikhail into a real man.

It's just that Grand Duke Mikhail is still a giant baby, he is still dazed, his eyes are dull and there is no expression at all, and he looks like he is unlucky to let go wherever he goes.

This made Fyodor very angry. He hated men like this the most, because men should stand upright, and should be the pillars of the country and the family. If the pillars are down, is there still a family?

Therefore, no matter how much a man suffers, no matter how much he is beaten, even if he is trampled like mud, he cannot indulge himself, and cannot choose to give up on himself. In that case, how do you let the woman who married you and the weak child live?

Fyodor felt that several of Nicholas I's children lacked such an upright temperament, especially Crown Prince Alexander, whose sentimental personality made him quite disliked.

Therefore, when teaching the children behind Nicholas I, he deliberately strengthened the training of their will, and would have conflicts with Zhukovsky from time to time, because Fyodor believed that it was Zhukovsky who Ki's sentimental and tearful personality caused the weakness of several princes. If possible, he really wanted to kick Zhukovsky out of the court.

It's just that it's useless no matter how much he disagrees with Zhukovsky, because Crown Prince Alexander has a very good relationship with this honest man, and this old man has a high reputation. of.

The only thing Fyodor can do is to strengthen the discipline of Grand Duke Mikhail and Grand Duke Nicholas. It cannot be said to be particularly successful, but at least these two don't like to cry like Crown Prince Alexander.

In the past, Fyodor felt that this was still a success, and that as long as he worked harder, Grand Duke Mikhail and Grand Duke Nicholas would become even better.

It’s just that in the past few years, as Grand Dukes Mikhail and Nicholas have gradually grown up, Fyodor found very depressed that his education did not seem to be successful.

Take Grand Duke Nicholas for example,

This person has no ambitions at all. Although he doesn't need to be general as the third spare tire, he can't be addicted to tenderness, right? How much do you have to do something practical?

But this man has no intention of doing things at all, he just loves leisure and hates work, and has no intention of being a citizen, a good prince and an emperor at all.

This Fyodor has nothing to do. After all, the relationship is far away. If he goes to rescue him, people will not want to talk to him. It is simply asking for trouble.

Naturally all Fyodor's hopes were placed on Grand Duke Mikhail. Objectively speaking, sometimes Grand Duke Mikhail gives him a good feeling. He has a strong ambition and desire to do something, which is a hundred times stronger than Grand Duke Nicholas.

But the problem is, this person's style of doing things makes Fyodor suck his teeth. Kneeling and licking Crown Prince Alexander is not shameful, what is shameful is that even the most basic principles have been given up for kneeling and licking.

This made Fyodor very upset. Why did he keep dissuading Grand Duke Mikhail from getting involved in this mess in Kiev. The reason is that in his opinion, whether it is Count Uvarov or Count Shuvalov, the things these two people did in Kiev are too low, and there is no bottom line at all.

In order to attack the Grand Duke Constantine, in order to fight for power and profit, all kinds of means and conspiracies are used outside, which is not a shame.

Fyodor disliked Shuvalov and Uvarov, but he also knew that he was soft-spoken and had nothing to do with each other. So what he means is that if you can't help the world at the same time, then you should take care of yourself alone.

Yes, Shuvalov and Uvarov are awesome, I have nothing to do with you, but I can be different, and I will just be a bystander with a clear conscience.

In Fyodordo’s view, Grand Duke Mikhail can definitely do this, but it’s a pity that Grand Duke Mikhail doesn’t agree with his opinion.

In this regard, Fyodor just tried his best to fulfill his duties as a teacher and a friend, tried his best to persuade, and tried his best to clarify the interests. But if Grand Duke Mikhail insists on this, he can't stop it. But he will still do his duty and try his best to advise Grand Duke Mikhail, which he feels is his duty.

It should be said that there are fewer and fewer people like Fyodor. Although his approach and persistence are a bit ridiculous, it is not bad to be able to do this.

And now, he is fulfilling his final obligation to Grand Duke Mikhail. He wants to teach Grand Duke Mikhail a final lesson and fight for his interests.

Seeing that Grand Duke Mikhail was confused, Fyodor no longer hesitated, and said bluntly to many cowards:

"Gentlemen, it is inconvenient for His Highness to say and do some things directly, and you know the reason! But this does not mean that His Highness does not care about what happened in Kiev, and is extremely dissatisfied with Count Shuvalov's actions. , I think he can't be allowed to continue to behave like this!"

As soon as this remark came out, not only the eyes of those cowards lit up, but even Grand Duke Mikhail next to him was also taken aback. Because although he has a little bit of this meaning, it is definitely not so obvious. Okay, Fyodor, if you say that, does it mean that I am openly going to start with Count Shuvalov and openly oppose him?

Grand Duke Mikhail was taken aback and tried to say something, but Fyodor didn't give him a chance to speak, and said flatly: "Your Highness means that since Count Shuvalov is no longer suitable to continue to lead the overall , so you should spontaneously hold a meeting to elect a new and more suitable leader."

"Those inappropriate words can be said by the new leader, which can be regarded as a positive response to Count Shuvalov, telling him that we will never allow him to continue to mess around!"
