The old eccentric Archduke Constantine left with a pat on his back, leaving Bestuzhev with endless hope and at the same time making Peter Balak want to scold him.
"Grand Duke Constantine came at the wrong time. If he were just a little bit later, that guy would have spoken. Now, all the hard work would have been wasted!"
Peter Balak was very sorry. He felt that his luck was too bad. If Grand Duke Constantine had arrived just a little bit late, Bestuzhev Ryumin would have made a great contribution as long as he opened his mouth.
This achievement will definitely make Count Uvarov very happy, and as long as the count is happy, will his benefits be less?
It's a pity that his good wishes were ruthlessly crushed by Grand Duke Constantine. He was just a little short of winning. But now that Grand Duke Constantine is watching, they can't even think about touching Bestuzhev. Stay
Do you know how he can honestly confess to that guy without giving him some hard food?
Anyway, Peter Balak was full of complaints, complaining that Shuvalov could not hold off Grand Duke Constantine for a while.
Who would have thought that Shuvalov would say something like this: "I let him in intentionally!"
Now Peter Balak quit, he thought to himself: What do you mean, you are letting me face off against Bestuzhev Ryumin and Grand Duke Constantine, but you are also holding me back behind the scenes. You are jealous.
I can do meritorious deeds on purpose!
But Shuvalov rolled his eyes at him and said with contempt: "What's the point of crucifying Bestuzhev? He is already a dead dog now. Even if Grand Duke Constantine comes, he can't save him. Continue
What’s the point of wasting time on him?”
Peter Barak was a little unconvinced and defended: "But he knows a lot of Grand Duke Constantine's secrets. As long as he opens his mouth..."
Shuvalov snorted and said: "That doesn't make any sense. After all, Grand Duke Constantine is His Majesty's favorite son. Do you think His Majesty doesn't know about his little tricks? If you reveal these things, you will only put Your Majesty and the royal family into trouble."
Embarrassing, it’s just suicidal!”
Peter Barak suddenly broke out in a cold sweat. He finally remembered that Grand Duke Constantine was the son of Nicholas I after all. If he exposed a scandal, it would be tantamount to slapping the royal family in face. Then Constantine would be regarded as
Now that Duke Ding has been punished, do you think he will reap the rewards?
Shuvalov sneered and said: "Don't try to pop the pustule, God knows what's inside. Especially for pustules like Grand Duke Constantine, anyone who tries to squeeze the pustule will not have a good result!"
Peter Balak shuddered again and looked at Shuvalov with some surprise, and the latter slowly said: "The pustules cannot be squeezed, and we cannot squeeze them with our own hands. That is His Majesty's business.
.What we have to do is to let His Majesty know the existence of the pustule."
Peter Barak was stunned for a moment, then asked carefully: "What do you mean?"
Shuvalov chuckled and said, "What do you think will happen if His Majesty finds out that this case is related to Grand Duke Constantine?"
Peter Barak's eyes suddenly lit up and he blurted out: "Then he will definitely suspect that Grand Duke Constantine is related to the rebel party, and he might even think that His Highness the Grand Duke is the supporter behind the rebel party!"
Shuvalov snorted, then squinted his eyes and said to Peter Balak: "Then do you still think it was wrong for me to let Grand Duke Constantine in?"
Peter Balak completely understood. He had to admit that Shuvalov had a better chess. As he said, if he could make Nicholas I think that Grand Duke Constantine was related to the rebel party, it would be a miracle.
pieces.
Once Nicholas I became suspicious of Grand Duke Constantine, it meant that Grand Duke Constantine would never have even the slightest chance of inheriting the throne. This was tantamount to solving a serious problem of the conservatives without any blood. This was not a miracle.
pieces!
Thinking of this, Peter Barak licked his lips, and his heart began to move. Yes, although he was just a conservative who sat on the fence, he was willing to contribute if there was an opportunity to go further, and he suddenly became very excited.
asked:
"Count, what are you going to do?"
Shuvalov rolled his eyes at him again. To be honest, he didn't have a good impression of Peter Barak. This guy had no ability, was timid, and hung on the wall. The most important thing was that he was very greedy. Such a guy
The biggest possibility for Pig Tou is to be a pig teammate, but the last thing he needs now is a pig teammate.
It's just that who put this guy in his current position is very important. Without his help as the governor of Ukraine, it would be impossible to kill Grand Duke Constantine, so he still has to cooperate with this bastard and give this bastard some sweetness.
.
Shuvalov sighed in his heart, but replied with a straight face: "Your task is very simple, continue to put pressure on Bestuzhev Ryumin, and pretend to kill him.
It's enough to pry open his mouth and implicate Archduke Constantine."
"As long as the pressure you exert is strong enough, this guy Bestuzhev Ryumin will naturally not sit still and wait for death. He will definitely ask Grand Duke Constantine for help. As long as Grand Duke Constantine really goes to save him, our goal will be
Achieved!"
Peter Barak was a little dissatisfied with his task. He felt that as a dignified governor, he should be in charge of the overall situation. Not to mention being a boss giving orders, at least he should be allowed to do the job where he had the greatest credit.
But what great merit can be said for crucifying Bestuzhev and leaving him alone? That guy is a worthless guy. He is basically a dead dog. What’s the point of torturing him wantonly?
And he was not stupid. He saw what Shuvalov meant. This guy must be the one who does the most critical work by himself and takes all the credit. Suddenly he felt a little unhappy. Why should I do the work and you do the work?
But it’s so easy to get a bargain?
This is the tragedy of the conservatives. The involution of this faction is too serious. They are fighting for power and seniority to compete for a small amount of resources. This has led to many people like Peter Barak who have mediocre abilities but rely on their family background to live in seclusion.
In high positions, they have neither the ability to solve problems nor the spirit of innovation. They only focus on making small calculations, and in the end they continue to erode the rights and interests of the younger generation of the faction.
Just like now, anyone with a little discernment can actually see that Shuvalov as the planner is definitely the most critical. Without his means and vision, Peter Barak can't do anything.
But here, Peter Barak still feels good about himself, feels that he is crucial, and feels that he should get the maximum benefit. What future do you think such a faction has except getting worse and worse?
