Golitsyn remained silent and used silence to cover up his guilt. But to be honest, there was no way to hide it, because Melkov could see that he was guilty. However, the latter did not expose him immediately, after all, he felt that Golitsyn was still guilty.
It has value, so it's best not to offend it to death.
It took a long time for Golitsyn to break the silence, and he vowed: "Wallachia does not belong to Speransky alone. Even if he is the governor, it doesn't matter. As long as we bring others over, he must obey."
!”
This magical logic left Mellikov completely speechless. Objectively speaking, there is no problem with this statement, but in fact it is simply impossible to do it.
Let’s not talk about how powerful Alexei is in Wallachia. He has every aspect of the country in his hands. Let’s just talk about how much it will cost to bribe Alexei’s subordinates. You can offer such a high price.
?
Anyway, Melikov knew that Grand Duke Constantine would not be able to open it.
Golitsyn thought for a while and came up with a second plan: "Otherwise, find a way to bring down Speransky and replace him with someone who is willing to cooperate with us as governor!"
Well, Melkov felt that Golitsyn was really a logic genius, and the methods he came up with were really painful. If it was so easy to bring down a governor, would Grand Duke Constantine still need to be so prepared?
Even if this plan works, where can you find a candidate for the new governor who is willing to cooperate with Grand Duke Constantine in such a short time?
To be honest, Golitsyn didn't have a candidate. He just said that to ease the embarrassment and make Melkov feel that he was still capable. As for whether the matter could be done, he had never thought about it.
But when he saw the obvious contempt on Melikov's face, the guy's vanity came up again. He stiffened his neck and said: "This is the only way. I see... I see that... that...
Count Vladimir is a suitable candidate! He is just the right person to replace Speransky!"
The blind cat meets the dead mouse probably refers to Golitsyn's behavior. He forcibly brushed himself up and felt that he really hit the target. Because at this time, Count Vladimir already hated Alexey.
, he has gone from simply wanting to replace Alexei as governor and get promoted and make a fortune, to hating Alexei to the core and wanting to exact revenge.
"Count Vladimir?"
He was deep in thought about the candidate proposed by Golitsyn, Melikov. Not only did he think that Count Vladimir could really replace Alexey, but he was not as stupid as Golitsyn. He knew how powerful Count Vladimir was.
I know that this person is unlikely to replace Alexei.
What Melikov is thinking about is: can he use Count Vladimir to cause trouble with Alexei? If he can create enough trouble to make Alexei miserable, then he can bring up the matter of cooperation again and promise to give
As long as the other party agrees to cooperate, they will be responsible for taking down Count Vladimir.
This idea still has room for maneuver in Melkov's opinion, because he knows very well that Count Vladimir is a bit scary to others, but it has no deterrent effect on Grand Duke Constantine, his own son. If it is
Count Vladimir had a conflict with Grand Duke Constantine, and Nicholas I would not hesitate to let Count Vladimir know how cruel his father's iron fist was.
Therefore, it is a piece of cake for Grand Duke Constantine to deal with Count Vladimir. If he can encourage Count Vladimir to create enough trouble for Alexei, and finally Grand Duke Constantine comes out to clean up the situation, then
There does seem to be hope!
Melikov glanced at Golitsyn. He really didn't expect that this idiot would win the big prize by mistake. Since he wanted to contact Count Vladimir, let him go. Anyway, in the end Vladimir
He was responsible for Count Kimil's anger, and he just let the count deal with this fool, so that all the credit would be his.
So Melikov immediately changed his expression, and he said to Golitsyn with a smile: "Your method is really wonderful. Count Vladimir replacing Count Speransky is the best plan, as long as you can convince
Count Vladimir, such a great thing can be accomplished! You are so wise!"
Golitsyn felt relieved immediately. He glanced at Melikov with some pride. His heart was full of self-righteous pride. He felt that he was indeed a genius and could come up with such a superb method casually.
"Don't waste time, let's go visit Count Vladimir immediately!"
Naturally, he is very happy to visit Count Vladimir Golitsyn, but we are more concerned about what he said to Melikov, because he feels that Melikov wants to take away his credit, otherwise he went to the Governor's Palace before
Why is this guy not active at all?
"Don't worry!" Golitsyn immediately stopped Melikov, "Convincing Count Vladimir is of great importance and must be treated with caution. We'd better be fully prepared before taking action!"
Melikov felt a little funny in his heart, how could Golitsyn's little bit of love be hidden from him? He knew very well that this guy would definitely leave him and find Count Vladimir alone. This guy just likes to eat alone.
However, he would not tell the truth, because he wished that Golitsyn went to find Count Vladimir himself, otherwise how could he pass the blame later?
So he just gave Golitsyn some pretense of persuasion and then let Golitsyn act alone. Of course, this guy didn't forget to write a letter to Grand Duke Constantine, focusing on Golitsyn's intention to leave Viscount Prozolov alone.
He paid a private visit to Alexey and was rejected miserably, and this guy was planning to instigate Count Vladimir to cause trouble.
In Melkov's letter, Golitsyn is an incompetent, stupid and jealous villain, and he is the loyal official who tried his best to save the situation. The most important thing is that he did not forget to mention himself
The plan - to use Count Vladimir to force Alexei to submit.
On this night, both Golitsyn and Melikov had sweet dreams, dreaming that they would become the biggest contributors and then rise to great heights. As for Viscount Prozolov, they had been completely ignored by these two people.
So what is Viscount Prozolov doing? Maybe Melikov and Golitsyn didn’t expect that their every move was actually completely under the control of Viscount Prozolov. He looked at these two self-confessed people with great relief.
The smart guy is making trouble behind his back.
“Not bad!”
Viscount Prozolov whistled, picked up the black tea and took a delicious sip. He couldn't wait to watch the performances of Melikov and Golitsyn...
