Grand Duke Constantine didn't like Viscount Prozolov's suggestion very much. The reason was very simple, because the Viscount suggested that he lower his profile and build a good relationship with Alexei and Li Xiao and reach cooperation in a peaceful way.
This is simply unacceptable to Grand Duke Constantine. If he is just asked to put down his attitude and establish a good relationship with Alexey, then it doesn't matter. Anyway, it's not like he has never played this kind of trick of polite corporal, so it doesn't matter if he starts to stir up money again.
.
Moreover, Alexei's identity and status are worthy of him, but with Li Xiao added, the situation is completely different.
Grand Duke Constantine disliked, or rather hated, Li Xiao. The last confrontation between the two sides in St. Petersburg made him lose face. He still remembers this!
What's more, Nicholas I also hated someone very deeply. He publicly stated on many occasions within the family that he must kill Li Xiao, a bastard. Now Viscount Prozolov actually suggested that he put down his hatred and put down the family's hostility.
How is it acceptable to shake hands with someone and make peace?
Grand Duke Constantine definitely couldn't accept it, so he rejected this idea without hesitation and adopted the current strategy. To be honest, Viscount Prozolov was very sorry.
Because in his opinion, the best way out for Grand Duke Constantine is actually to cooperate with Alexei and Li Xiao. After all, the other party has opened up a situation in Wallachia and has done a very good job. If it can be achieved in a win-win manner
Cooperation, it would not be difficult for Grand Duke Constantine to do something in Moldavia.
It's a pity that Grand Duke Constantine refused, so if he wanted to get the resources in Wallachia or Alexey's hands, Viscount Prozolov could only coerce and coerce him. For him, although this method
It can achieve its goal, but it is by no means perfect, and it even feels like killing the goose that lays the egg.
Viscount Prozolov believes that Alexei is very important. Not only is he the son of Count Speransky, he is naturally welcomed by the reformists, but he is also a feudal official of the empire. As long as he does not seek death, his future will be worry-free.
In a few more years, he will become a minister.
Wouldn’t it be nice to have a royal minister as an ally?
But Grand Duke Constantine just couldn't figure it out and let Alexi's talent go in vain. Even Alexi was not the only talent. Viscount Prozolov carefully studied Alexi's experience in Wallachia.
Looking at the family history, I found clues from the clues and discovered that behind Alexei there was a powerful group headed by the Gorchakov family and Duke Ordov.
Needless to say, the power of this group goes without saying. If Grand Duke Constantine could gain the friendship of these two groups, the situation would be completely different.
It's a pity that Grand Duke Constantine couldn't listen at all, and Viscount Prozolov could only sigh. But he was not particularly depressed, because as a counselor, he had long known that not all suggestions would be accepted, like Constantine
Grand Duke Ding has already figured it out.
[I can only persuade His Highness to try to repair the relationship with Count Speransky in the future.]
Viscount Prozolov still wanted to pull Alexei into Grand Duke Constantine's chariot, and was already planning how to repair the relationship after the incident was completed, but he never imagined that this day would never come.
A few days later, Viscount Prozolov suddenly received news - Count Vladimir was ill, very ill, unconscious!
This news made him overjoyed, because he knew that the matter was more than half successful, and it was his turn to appear next.
"Go and remind Golitsyn or Melikov and let them pay attention to Count Vladimir's condition. You must let them notice that this disease is not simple! Let them be evil people!"
In fact, Melikov didn't need to be reminded by Viscount Prozolov to realize that Count Vladimir's illness was not simple. How could a high-ranking aristocrat with a healthy living environment and a good living environment be so prone to scarlet fever?
In this era, scarlet fever was very common, but this infectious disease was generally more popular among the poor. In the words of that era, the living environment of the poor was too bad, and they were attacked by the disease in the filth.
The noble aristocrats generally believe that they have no chance of suffering from this low-level disease, especially nobles with very noble blood such as Count Vladimir, who are considered to be completely unlikely to suffer from this disease.
"There must be something wrong here! His Excellency, the Count, suddenly fell ill just after he agreed to cooperate with His Highness the Grand Duke. Someone must be up to something!"
Golitsyn was very angry and crazy. He had just reported the good news to Grand Duke Constantine. When he turned around, Count Vladimir was unconscious. It seemed that the posture was very dangerous. What if Count Vladimir happened?
If his pigtails are raised, wouldn’t it mean that all his work has been in vain?
Golitsyn still hoped to reach the top by relying on Count Vladimir, but the top was bombed at the foot of the mountain. Do you think he would be happy?
Arkady was not as crazy as Golitsyn. It was not that he thought there was nothing wrong with Count Vladimir's illness. In fact, he had some doubts. After all, Count Vladimir stayed at home these days and never left the house.
There is no reason to suddenly contract scarlet fever.
But right now, Count Vladimir has fallen ill. At this time, investigating the cause of the disease is far less important than curing the disease and saving people. If you put the cart before the horse, it will be a mistake.
"I have already reported to the Governor's Mansion. The Governor has sent the best doctors. As for the cause of the disease, we still have no clue..."
Golitsyn sneered at this, and snorted coldly: "What's the use of reporting to the governor? I'm afraid your governor wishes that the count was dead. How could he do his best to send a good doctor? Even what is the disease?
It’s hard to say whether it has anything to do with the Governor’s Mansion! I would say it would be safer to change a group of doctors!”
Arkady frowned. In fact, he was also worried about this, but he felt that Alexei would only openly instruct the doctor to make trouble unless his brain was kicked by a donkey, because these are all documented, and he also
If you keep an eye on it yourself, there shouldn't be any big problems.
As for whether the Governor's Mansion had anything to do with the illness, he didn't dare to conclude, but he didn't dare to lie without concrete evidence. After all, he was not Golitsyn, and he didn't have the ancestral title of marquis to protect him from disaster.
As for whether to replace a group of doctors, Arkady is a little undecided. It would be safer to replace a group of more reliable doctors, but the problem is that he does not have the resources in this area, not to mention what happens if the replacement is not done properly.
Count Vladimir's illness even led to his death. Who should be held responsible?
