Chapter 294 Dream Talk
In the view of Viscount Prozolov, 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 power in Kiev is still too weak. With the arrest of Bestuzhev, Ryumin and his associates, the conservatives can be said to be the dominant force in Ukraine. Even if Grand Duke Constantine ends up personally, I think
It's not that difficult to fight with them.
Viscount Prozolov felt that the most important thing at the moment was to contact allies to accumulate strength and wait for further news from St. Petersburg.
"We still have to wait?" Archduke Constantine was a little dissatisfied and muttered: "How long do we have to wait? Peter Barak has already put a knife on my neck, and then they are really going to take action.
Got it!"
These days, Grand Duke Constantine is half-infuriated by Peter Barak. This governor does not give him any face, and his requests are either perfunctory or directly rejected. Grand Duke Constantine has never been beaten since he was a child.
If a person has been so neglected, he will naturally become furious.
Naturally, he wanted to deal with Shuvalov as quickly as possible and make a comeback as quickly as possible. He couldn't wait to slap Peter Barak in the face and let out a bad breath.
However, Viscount Prozolov said: "Your Highness, a little impatience will ruin a big plan. Let Peter Barak be arrogant for the time being. Our top priority is to accumulate strength and win in one fell swoop. Before that, we might as well let him be proud for a while.
…”
Grand Duke Constantine looked at Viscount Prozolov with a depressed face. He was very unwilling to accept this suggestion, but considering that Viscount Prozolov's performance in this section was really outstanding, he not only pointed out the direction but also gave him
The key witness Petrovna was sent, so more or less he had to give some face.
"Then how long do we have to wait?" Grand Duke Constantine asked unwillingly.
Viscount Prozolov sighed in his heart and explained patiently: "I suggest 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 have to see what His Majesty means!"
"People around here who don't have a good relationship with Count Uvarov?" Grand Duke Constantine muttered, and became increasingly unhappy.
The reason was simple. He knew that Viscount Prozolov wanted him to contact Alexei or Kornilov and others, because they were the only surrounding forces that had a bad relationship with Uvarov.
However, whenever Archduke Constantine thinks of his previous encounters, he becomes filled with anger and resentment towards these people. It would be better for him to beg these people for help in a lowly manner than to kill him with one knife.
Anyway, he was very unhappy about this, so after pondering for a moment, he deliberately ignored the topic and asked directly: "Viscount, what do you think of my father's attitude?"
Viscount Prozolov sighed again. He knew that Grand Duke Constantine did not listen to his words at all, but he was unwilling to surrender to Alexei and others first. In his opinion, this was too petty.
It is said that those who achieve great things do not stick to trivial matters. The so-called informality does not only refer to trivial matters, but also means that one must have a certain mind.
Even if you are filled with hatred, 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’s not like you’ll be treated as a grandson for the rest of your life, and you’ll settle the accounts with the other party after everything is done. At that time, you didn’t just do whatever you wanted, so why should you lose the big for the small at this critical juncture?
However, Viscount Prozolov also knew that he could no longer persuade him, because he had already felt the temper of Grand Duke Constantine, and his current attitude made it clear that he did not want to hear it. If you continue to surround him without knowing how to advance or retreat,
The only effect of his constant persuasion is to make him annoy you.
So after Viscount Prozolov sighed, he answered Grand Duke Constantine's question seriously: "Your Majesty's attitude does not actually depend on Your Majesty himself. It is difficult to know how he will choose. But generally speaking, the following are the following:
A possibility..."
"Either he gets furious and directly removes Bestuzhev from his post and severely holds him accountable, and vents his anger on you, maybe he will give you a severe reprimand!"
Grand Duke Constantine's face suddenly began to turn bitter. This possibility was the greatest and the last thing he wanted to see. His father's temper was even more terrifying than that of Ivan the Terrible, and he might become completely angry.
I gave 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 the truth.
In fact, this was the only way he could lose face and contact Alexei and others.
Viscount Prozolov deliberately paused for a while before starting to talk about the second possibility: "However, with your Majesty's wisdom, it is not difficult to see that there are many doubts in this case. If someone gives you 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 suddenly lit up. If this was a possibility, wouldn't it mean that he had great hope of turning over? He could even take the opportunity to stir up trouble and give Count Uvarov some eye drops.
Viscount Prozolov glanced at him and shook his head inwardly. The Grand Duke was really too naive. If things were really that simple, they would still be sitting here discussing and discussing countermeasures, waiting for Nikolai.
It would be fine if I sent someone to rescue me. If I can win by lying down, what else do I need to do with my brain?
So he said to Grand Duke Constantine very rudely: "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 a good impression of you at all, Your Highness. It’s really hard to expect this imperial envoy to enforce the law impartially and give you justice..."
In fact, Viscount Prozolov did not say it clearly, but he knew that Grand Duke Constantine would understand.
Sure enough, the joy that just appeared on Grand Duke Constantine's face immediately disappeared and was replaced by deep worry, because Viscount Prozolov was so right, the most important thing Nicholas I lacked was
