Peter Balak didn't feel particularly embarrassed, but rather annoyed. He thought that Shuvalov's arrival was too unlucky. He was just a little bit able to trick Grand Duke Constantine into telling him the truth, but everything was messed up.
.
Shuvalov didn't know what happened to this guy suddenly. He seemed to have become more and more mentally retarded as if he had taken gunpowder. However, he did not bother to talk to Peter Balak, but said to Grand Duke Constantine:
"Your Highness, I heard that you are looking for me?"
Grand Duke Constantine was actually startled by Shuvalov just now. This guy came too suddenly without any warning. No wonder Viscount Prozolov said that this guy was a conspirator, so he just ran away just to show off.
.
However, Grand Duke Constantine did not frighten him, but said confidently: "Yes, I am looking for you!"
At this point, he deliberately did not go on. This was a speaking skill he learned from Nicholas I. If you want to take the initiative, you have to hide and tuck others away, otherwise you will be the clown.
In the estimation of Grand Duke Constantine, Shuvalov should ask why he is looking for him. At that time, he will come to knock on the mountain and Zhenhu will give him three axes first. If he can knock him out, it is naturally the best. If not, he will have to leave him in a hurry.
It'll take a while.
Grand Duke Constantine's plan was very good, but Shuvalov was a man who didn't play by the rules. He actually said to Grand Duke Constantine: "I'm really sorry, Your Highness. I have too much work recently and really don't have time."
I am here to receive you. If you definitely need my services, please wait for a few days. When I finish handling the work at hand, I will come to your house in person to take care of you!"
Look at what he said, he didn't speak against Grand Duke Constantine at all, and at least his words seemed to be more respectful. Grand Duke Constantine couldn't find any way to find trouble. In an instant, his plan completely failed and turned into a joke.
Anyway, others didn't know, Peter Balak was secretly snickering. He had encountered obstacles with Shuvalov before, and today he finally saw that others were as frustrated as him, and this other person was Grand Duke Constantine. Look
It’s so refreshing to wear it!
As for Grand Duke Constantine, he was said to be stunned, because how could this make him have an attack? There was no way for him to have an attack, okay? Even if he wanted to use those excuses to accuse him later, he seemed to be petty.
Suddenly, Archduke Constantine hit a soft nail, which gave him a lot of trouble. But this man was not an ordinary person. He was thick-skinned and cruel. Even if he was a little embarrassed, he would not hesitate to question the guilt:
"Really? But I don't need your services. I can't afford one, and I don't want to use a criminal to do things for myself!"
Shuvalov's brows moved. He came in a hurry because his subordinates reported that Grand Duke Constantine was coming menacingly. He seemed confident. He knew the Grand Duke's personality well. He would not be so strong on something he was not sure about.
, so his sudden attack was probably because he had mastered something that was not good for him.
Although Shuvalov couldn't guess what it was, he knew it was definitely fatal. So he was fully mentally prepared before entering the door, and naturally he was not too nervous when facing Grand Duke Constantine's attack.
"Your Highness, where do I start with this? Although I am not perfect in what I do, to be fair, I still serve the country with full enthusiasm. Even if I make some omissions due to my limited ability, it is definitely not a crime!"
Grand Duke Constantine first sneered, and then said sarcastically: "What you say is better than what you sing. If what you actually do can be one-tenth of what you say, thank God! Earl, you are my
The biggest hypocrite I’ve ever seen!”
Shuvalov was very calm in the face of Grand Duke Constantine's direct slap in the face, as if he was not the one being scolded. He calmly replied: "Although I personally feel sorry for your responsibilities just now, no, I should say
I feel extremely indignant about the humiliation. But I still have to say that I have a clear conscience. If your intention here today is to humiliate me, then you have already done it. If you have nothing else to do, please forgive me for being rude. I have more important work to do.
If you do it, I won’t accompany you!”
After saying this, Shuvalov turned around and left. This made Grand Duke Constantine very angry. Why?
Because he felt that what he just said was very serious and harsh. If he were an ordinary person, he would definitely distance himself immediately, and would argue with him if he had no choice. But he, who had a lot of information about Shuvalov, was not afraid at all.
With this kind of wrangling, he had a hundred ways to slowly humiliate Shuvalov and make him lose face and reputation.
But what he didn't expect was that Shuvalov didn't accept the attack at all, nor was he angry. His attitude towards him was: Do you want to scold me? Then you can scold me, and I won't lose a hair. Anyway, I just ignored him.
You, you are left alone and unable to perform the show.
Suddenly, Archduke Constantine was a little confused. He paused and roared: "Stop, you can't leave!"
Shuvalov had no intention of staying at all. He just turned around and bowed to Grand Duke Constantine and said: "Sorry, Your Highness, I don't have time to play such a childish game with you. If you
If you really have any objections to me, then please go directly to the court to sue or tell His Majesty, everything will be judged by itself. Now there is no need for me to waste time doing such boring things. Please forgive me, I am resigning!"
Now Grand Duke Constantine was really going crazy, because Shuvalov was slippery and couldn't catch him at all. The harder he tried to catch him, the smoother he slipped. There was nothing he could do now!
Grand Duke Constantine knew that he must not let Shuvalov leave like this, otherwise if the conversation just spread out, outsiders would only think that he was unreasonable and unruly, which would in turn increase Shuvalov's good reputation.
And according to Viscount Prozolov, the core figure of Ukrainian conservatives is Shuvalov. Only by destroying him can the bottom line be drained, and only then can the conservatives be thrown into chaos and have a chance to turn defeat into victory.
And his mission is to use the excuse given by Petrovna to force Shuvalov to step down, so that he will no longer have the opportunity to command the conservatives in Kiev, so he absolutely cannot let this person leave like this.
Immediately, Grand Duke Constantine's eyes turned red, and he shouted angrily: "Stop! Do you think you can escape responsibility by saying this! I am here today to expose your true face to the world. If you are not guilty of being a thief,
Why hide!"
Having said this, Grand Duke Constantine felt that Shuvalov could not leave, right? But he underestimated this person. After hearing these words, he not only did not stop, but ran faster...
