Grand Duke Constantine would never have imagined that just when he followed Viscount Prozolov's suggestion to find Petrovna, the latter was also racking her brains to think of how to join him.
In a sense, this can be considered a bastard's mistake, but the starting points of the two parties are still very different. Grand Duke Constantine simply wanted to take advantage of Petrovna, just to use her to deal with Shu
Valov had no intention of giving her a chance.
Petrovna, on the other hand, hopes to find ways to increase her own value and sell herself to Grand Duke Constantine at the highest price, preferably in one step so that she can rely on her for the rest of her life.
Naturally, the differences between the two sides are huge, and it is normal for them to be unable to touch each other for the time being. This gave Shuvalov an opportunity. The conspirator was not idle either. He was not only trying every means to hunt down Petrovna and Fei
Aoning, in fact, he is also doing some other actions secretly, but these actions are very hidden, and he particularly emphasizes confidentiality. Not to mention enemies like Grand Duke Constantine, even Peter Balak can't figure him out.
What are you doing?
"What on earth is that bastard doing? After so many days, there is no news at all, not even a notification. Does he still have me as the governor in his eyes?"
Peter Balak was so furious that he really wanted to slap Shuvalov to death, but unfortunately he couldn't do that. On the contrary, he had to protect the bastard and give him a certain degree of convenience.
Anyway, he felt that he was too frustrated to be the governor. If he had known that Ukraine was like this, he would never have been Shilaozi's bad governor.
But this is still an angry talk. After all, the governor is a high-ranking official in the border area, especially the governor of Ukraine. He is so fat that no one else can grab the fat position, okay?
After Peter Balak lost his temper, he realized that there was no point in continuing to struggle with Shuvalov. He turned to ask: "Where is St. Petersburg? Is there no news yet? Why hasn't Count Uvarov given instructions yet?"
Now Peter Balak can only hope that St. Petersburg will help him get out of the sea of misery. Whether Nicholas I personally issues the decree or sends an imperial envoy to handle it with full authority, as long as Shuvalov is not torturing him.
Of course, he knew that Count Uvarov could not have no instructions for such a big matter, but he did not have much hope for that count. He knew that the count trusted Shuvalov more, and even if he had instructions, he would probably still let him give in.
of.
Therefore, he hoped that Nicholas I would send an imperial envoy to investigate the case, so that even if Count Uvarov had an explanation, he could use the imperial envoy's order to deal with it. Anyway, he was hoping for Shuvalov's misfortune, so it was best to give him an explanation immediately.
He was dismissed from his post and investigated.
"There is no news yet..."
This answer disappointed Peter Barak extremely, because he was really fed up with Shuvalov and wanted to drive him away.
However, he did not know that it was not that there was no news in St. Petersburg, nor that Count Uvarov did not pay attention to this matter. On the contrary, both Nicholas I and Count Uvarov attached great importance to this case, and the dignified Ukrainian Part III
The person in charge turned out to be a rebel, which is amazing!
Anyway, Nicholas I was in a state of confusion. It is said that when he saw the report of the case, he overturned his desk. If he hadn't still had a trace of reason, he would have directly ordered the execution of Bestuzhev. Leave a note.
However, even so, he was so angry that he immediately called Crown Prince Alexander, Count Uvarov, Count Rostovtsev, Duke Ordov and Nikolai Nikolayevich regardless of the late night.
The Grand Duke and Grand Prince Mikhail Nikolayevich came to the imperial study.
The first few are all acquaintances, so there is nothing to say. The last two grand dukes are the third and fourth sons of Nicholas I, that is, the younger brothers of Crown Prince Alexander and Grand Duke Constantine.
The two grand dukes are one year apart and both are in their early twenties. As adults, they have been given more powers and positions by Nicholas I. Obviously, Nicholas I hopes that these two younger sons will become
The right-hand man of the future emperor.
But to be honest, the level of these two grand dukes is very average. They are far different from Crown Prince Alexander and Grand Duke Constantine. They do not have much political talent. Among them, the third one is the worst, and the fourth one, Mikhail, is slightly better. Finally,
A mix of a field marshal and the governor of the Caucasus.
However, Nicholas I did not know that these two sons were relatively mediocre. After all, for every father, his son is still his own. No matter how silly his son is, he must be well nurtured. After all, he is his biological son!
As for calling these two young grand dukes here this time, it is not entirely to train them and make them familiar with government affairs, but this time the case involves Grand Duke Constantine and involves the internal affairs of the royal family. If you just listen to Crown Prince Alexander,
Yes, Nicholas I felt it was a bit biased and unreliable, so he simply called all his sons over.
"Look, you all, such a ridiculous incident happened. It is simply appalling and shameless!"
Nicholas I angrily threw the case briefing to his sons and ministers, and then sat down in his seat and sulked.
The state of these people when they were called here was actually worth pondering. How should I put it? Because Crown Prince Alexander had a close relationship with Count Uvarov, he naturally had heard about the case, so he knew what was going on.
And Count Rostovtsev had long known about Shuvalov and Bestuzhev. Liuming's affair because of Li Xiao. He had already laid the groundwork in front of Nicholas I before, so naturally he didn't
will be surprised.
As for Duke Ordorf, this is the case in the third part. According to the procedures, he actually knew about it earlier than Nicholas I. He reported the relevant situation to Nicholas I, so he was naturally prepared.
The only ones who were confused were the two grand dukes, who were sleeping soundly! The chamberlain suddenly ran over and woke them up from the bed, and rushed to the Winter Palace in a daze, not knowing what happened.
After reading the brief introduction to the case, I realized that such a scandal had occurred in Kiev. To be honest, are they still confused at this moment?
Why are they confused? Because they can't figure out why Nicholas I called them here. The two of them are just temporary posts in the Army. They usually just fish in the Army Department and have nothing to do with Ukraine or the Third Department.
What does it mean to ask them to come over for a dime?
