Recently, Alexander's dissatisfaction with his second brother, Grand Duke Constantine, has skyrocketed. Little Adlerberg has made a detailed report to him about what happened in the 748th Regiment.
He knew very clearly how Grand Duke Constantine dealt with Messadov, how he tried to defeat Menshikov, and how he blatantly spread some terrible gossip in the Admiralty.
Although Alexander did not have the absolute consciousness of being a crown prince, his years of royal education made him quite keen on politics. Grand Duke Constantine's unreasonable actions immediately aroused his suspicion.
Although he couldn't figure out what this younger brother wanted to do, he could tell that he seemed to be coming for him. Otherwise, he shouldn't have suddenly taken Mesadov without notifying him.
Although that guy is a bastard, he is still a pawn who cooperates with little Adlerberg to suppress Li Xiao. Nicholas I left this job to him, and Archduke Constantine suddenly intervened and abolished his side.
A key chess piece, what does this mean?
That is to say, the Adlerbergs could not see through the intentions of Grand Duke Constantine and Nicholas I for the time being, so they advised Alexander not to act in a hurry. Otherwise, he really wanted to teach his increasingly outrageous brother a lesson.
But even if Alexander could endure it for the time being, he was definitely unhappy. And with Nicholas I's tacit approval of Grand Duke Constantine's behavior, Alexander felt panicked for the first time.
For the first time, he felt that his status was threatened. For the first time, he felt that this younger brother was so annoying and an eyesore. He hoped to get this younger brother as far away as possible!
This terrible feeling once shocked Alexander himself. For the first time, he discovered that he did not care about the throne as much as he had advertised in the past. In fact, he still cared about it and was still worried about losing it.
This made Alexander panicked for a while. He hugged his teacher Zhukovsky and cried bitterly and confessed a lot, but he couldn't feel any better. He really didn't know what was wrong with him. Is he really a despicable person who talks what he says and means what he means?
However, Alexander did not know that when his teacher Zhukovsky met with Nicholas I and protested to the emperor in person for conniving Grand Duke Constantine to "persecute" Crown Prince Alexander, it caused great psychological pressure on the Crown Prince and made the Crown Prince's
After the heart was "distorted", the crown prince was no longer pure.
At that time, Nicholas I was actually secretly happy. He had always felt that Alexander lacked the imperial temperament and the domineering spirit to protect the throne through all means. He felt that his son was too careless about the emperor's position. If he continued to be so rare,
If Rimaha goes down, the Romanov family may be ruined in his hands.
But this time when Alexander showed concern about his status, and was even willing to stop being "pure" for this, and was willing to use despicable means to deal with his dear brother, Nicholas I breathed a sigh of relief.
He felt that this son was not extremely stupid and could still be saved. Maybe he could take this opportunity to use the strength of Archduke Constantine to put a little more pressure on him, making him feel more in danger. Maybe in this way he could grow.
Become a true emperor!
Alexander had absolutely no idea that his father had already formulated an evil plan, nor did he know that it was because of his little worries that Nicholas I decided to let Grand Duke Constantine go to torment Menshikov. If sacrificing an old minister could help
It’s a great deal to create a qualified prince! That’s it!
Nicholas I was so satisfied with this method. If he had known that he could put pressure on Crown Prince Alexander through Grand Duke Constantine to force the crown prince to grow up and act like a real emperor, he would have done it long ago!
The only reason is that Alexander's character was too deceptive in the past. Nicholas I always thought that his eldest son was a soft dough, a cowardly loser who was unwilling to take on the responsibilities of the crown prince, and an out-and-out crybaby.
Nicholas I thought that Alexander was not interested in the throne at all, so he always tried every means to make Alexander interested in power and told him how important and precious power was.
However, the effect was not ideal. In addition to using the power in his hands to chat with palace maids and various ladies and ladies, Crown Prince Alexander did not realize the more wonderful uses of power, nor did he realize the value of power.
For a time, Nicholas I was desperate and didn't know what to do with Alexander. But this time, when Grand Duke Constantine exposed Alexander's hypocritical mask, Nicholas I was ecstatic. He knew that his
The eldest son and the great system he established were finally saved.
So Nicholas I was in a very good mood when he attended the imperial meeting. This autocratic monarch, who was known for his strictness, strictness and strictness, had a rare smile on his face, and his slightly bald forehead and top of his head were shining with energy.
, like a radiant sun.
With exactly the same stride and swing of his arms, Nicholas I was almost like a robot, walking exactly where he should be. He glanced at everyone present.
, he cleared his throat and ordered in a rich and stern voice: "Have a meeting!"
Under the suppression of Nicholas I's intimidating aura, every minister's heart was heavy. Even Menshikov, who had been dozing for a long time, the old eunuch couldn't help but hold his head high and said the word "meeting"
After arriving, he stood up with a snap, stood at attention with a snap, saluted, and then sat down solemnly.
Not only Menshikov, but others as well. As if they had rehearsed it countless times, they made this set of procedures decisive, neat, and uniform, making it impossible for anyone to find anything wrong with it.
This is the style of the Imperial Council, full of military atmosphere. It is Nicholas I's favorite style, and the courtiers can only follow his preferences. Even Count Neserrodie, the foreigner who advocates the most freedom, has been
He was almost assimilated. He no longer looked like an elegant diplomat, but like a sophisticated and decisive military strategist.
"Your Majesty, the main topics of this imperial meeting are as follows..."
Immediately, Prime Minister Neserrode went straight to the point. Although Nicholas I liked to create numerous bureaucracies and create dazzling bureaucratic procedures, he himself hated being wasted time. His meeting venue could only be simple and direct.
No procrastination.
It only took twenty minutes for all the procedural matters to be processed, and the next thing everyone knew, the meat show was finally about to begin!
