Grand Duke Constantine knew everything about what Viscount Prozolov had done. He failed to deal with Alexei, and even killed a marquis. Alexei pulled handfuls of pigtails to death. You
Tell me what to do with him?
If possible, Grand Duke Constantine really wanted to turn back time, so that he would not listen to Viscount Prozolov's ridiculous suggestions and let him cause so many bad things.
Of course, it is impossible to turn back time, so Grand Duke Constantine could only reluctantly go to Bucharest to have a good talk with Alexei and Li Xiao.
"Not to mention, Bucharest looks much more prosperous than Chisinau..."
Grand Duke Constantine frowned as he looked at the scenery outside the car window. He was afraid of comparison. Chisinau looked so terrible. The streets were in a state of depression. Apart from soldiers with loaded guns, there were almost no pedestrians.
Occasionally, those people who passed by in a hurry were all frowning or dishonest.
But Bucharest is completely different. Although soldiers with guns and live ammunition can be seen everywhere on the streets, there are too many pedestrians, small businesses and hawkers along the street, which looks so lively.
Grand Duke Constantine could sense that although the Wallachians also had worries, their lives were relatively stable and their mental outlook was completely different.
"Count Speransky is quite a talent!"
Grand Duke Constantine sighed. He sincerely regretted that he should not have listened to Viscount Prozolov's advice and adopted such measures against Alexey.
But the Grand Duke probably forgot that Viscount Prozolov proposed different strategies at that time, but he chose the one that brought him the greatest benefit and was also the most dangerous. To put it bluntly, the Grand Duke was also trying to pass the buck.
If he really had foresight, where would things be like now?
"How long until we get to the Governor's Palace?"
Thinking that the next negotiation would be passive at the beginning, Grand Duke Constantine couldn't help but feel uncomfortable. He thought about how he, a noble man in heaven, had ever suffered such grievances. If it was in St. Petersburg, don't ask him to condescend to see Ali.
Kexie, it’s impossible to get him to lower himself and accept negotiations!
"You think Count Speranski invited me to Bucharest, what was his purpose?"
Grand Duke Constantine could only pass the time with random thoughts. He always felt that Alexei's purpose of inviting him to Bucharest was not simple. It was probably to deliberately humiliate him. After all, his relationship with Li Xiao was quite bad. Back then,
When he was in St. Petersburg, he often embarrassed Li Xiao. Now that he is more reasonable and reasonable, he has the upper hand. It is normal to retaliate in kind.
He was even prepared to be ridiculed by Li Xiao as soon as he arrived at the Governor's Mansion. If he had the upper hand, he would definitely do this. But what he didn't expect was that the situation that He Hehe imagined did not happen.
.
"Your Highness the Grand Duke, Your Excellency the Earl is waiting for you in the drawing room!"
There was no grand welcome or humiliating ceremony, and there was no harsh sarcasm. When Grand Duke Constantine walked into the Governor's Palace, he did not suffer at all. He was welcomed into the Governor's Palace like an ordinary guest. Alexei
He didn't leave him there intentionally, but greeted him immediately.
"Welcome to your Highness the Grand Duke!"
Although Alexei's welcome speech was a bit short and dry, and it didn't sound like a sincere welcome, it was already quite comfortable for Grand Duke Constantine. So he made an exception and did not show off.
The airs of a nobleman of the heavenly family appropriately showed respect for Alexey.
Of course, this so-called exception was that he nodded calmly to Alexey and did not say anything sarcastic.
Alexei didn't care much about this. He knew very well the temper of Nicholas I's family. This family all liked to put on airs and appear condescending, especially to people they didn't like.
, that is definitely extremely cold.
"There is no other reason for you to come here. Wallachia and Moldavia are brotherly countries. Only by relying on each other and cooperating can we resist the aggression of Turkey and other external forces..."
Alexei observed the expression of Grand Duke Constantine as he spoke. Although this guy still had an air of airs, his body language relaxed and he seemed to be a little surprised by his body.
【Hope it’s a good start!】
For this negotiation, Alexei and Li Xiao had discussed countermeasures before. They both agreed that at this moment, they must reach a settlement with Grand Duke Constantine as soon as possible. It is best to reach a limited intention to cooperate, because the pace of the war is getting worse and worse.
It was getting closer. As Menshikov set off from St. Petersburg, the ultimatum against Turkey was not far away.
These external problems must be solved quickly, at least they cannot let Archduke Constantine hinder them from behind. Of course, it would be more ideal if they could reach a fairer cooperation with Moldavia.
In view of this, Alexei believed that he should express goodwill to Grand Duke Constantine appropriately and not push him too hard, so as to help reach an agreement. This is the main reason why Grand Duke Constantine feels relaxed today.
Because if he follows Li Xiao's suggestion, he thinks that Grand Duke Constantine should be given a warning first. He thinks that if he wants to make this little fat man honest, he must first shock him. Only when he is dealt with obediently can this little fat man do it.
Cooperate honestly.
In Li Xiao's words: "...their family are all white-eyed wolves. If you are nice to them, they will not remember it at all. Instead, they will think that you are weak and can be bullied, so you have to give them a hard time first."
!”
However, Alexei did not accept this suggestion. He still felt that it was better to be polite first and then fight. In view of this, Li Xiao did not insist on it. It was not that Li Xiao was convinced by him, but that Li Xiao felt that Alexey was the governor.
After all, he is the one who dominates Wallachia. Although he is Alexei's friend and advisor and can give him many suggestions, he still has the final say on the final decision.
Since Alexei has made a decision, he should respect it. On the contrary, blindly opposing or even applying pressure as a friend will only do bad things.
But Li Xiao's ugly words also came to the forefront: "...Okay, just do what you said, be polite first and then fight. But if that little fat guy doesn't speak well and even thinks we are easy to bully, then don't be polite to him. He is really serious."
He will kick his nose into his face!"
"If you feel that you can't fight him because of your face, then let me do it and give me a signal. I will let that little fat guy know that we are not easy to bully!"
