Peter Barak was completely confused when he was taken away. He didn't understand why it was like this. It was obvious that the two Grand Dukes were his own people, but why didn't they speak for him? Could it be that he had offended this person?
Two people?
Anyway, Peter Barak couldn't figure it out, but it didn't make any sense whether he understood or not, because the gendarmes and police would not be polite to him and just asked him to leave.
After being taken out of the Governor's Palace and put into a luxurious prison car, the era of Ukraine belonging to Peter Balak had actually come to an end, because whether it was Grand Duke Mikhail, Grand Duke Nicholas or Rostovtse who led all this.
Count Husband knew that this guy was definitely doomed, his career and political life had been ended - Ukraine was going to change!
Count Rostovtsev glanced at the serious-faced Grand Duke Mikhail, and couldn't help but feel a little funny in his heart. Only he knew that the Grand Duke's hesitation just now and his current seriousness were actually all fake.
Why do you say that? Because he actually didn't spend much effort in persuading Grand Duke Michael to agree to "question" Peter Balak. He just threw the relevant evidence on the table and told him:
"Peter Barak has a major suspicion, and he must be controlled now. One is to facilitate the interrogation, and the other is to prevent him from jumping over the wall and using his power to cause havoc!"
After a short pause, he smiled and said to Grand Duke Mikhail and Grand Duke Nicholas: "After controlling Peter Balak, the stability of Ukraine's political situation will depend on these two Highnesses. I think they will temporarily take charge of Ukraine."
All government affairs are reasonable and necessary, what do you think?"
At first, Grand Duke Mikhail wanted to speak for Peter Balak, but as soon as he heard that the government affairs of Ukraine would be handed over to them temporarily, he immediately forgot about it. As mentioned before, this guy’s ambitions are not high.
When I was little, especially after gathering a bunch of outsiders, my ambitions became even more swollen, and I had a lot of yearning for Ukraine.
Before, he only planned to place some people in Ukraine and gain some real power, but now Peter Barak suddenly fell, and Count Rostovtsev directly handed over the political power of Ukraine to him, which made him overjoyed.
.
Grand Duke Mikhail felt that the only thing he lacked was the opportunity to perform. He had been suppressed by Crown Prince Alexander and Grand Duke Constantine before, so he had no chance to display his talent. But now, hasn't this opportunity come?
If he could take advantage of this opportunity to achieve great results in Ukraine, it would be impossible for Nicholas I to fail to see it. Maybe the old man would directly appoint him as the governor-general of Ukraine as soon as he was happy.
You must know that this is the Governor of Ukraine! One of the most fertile positions in Russia. With the basic base of Ukraine, he can be regarded as the number one figure. Then his value will rise linearly. Presumably even the eldest brother, Crown Prince Alexander, will have to think highly of him at that time.
At a glance, she lowered her body and pulled him in.
As for the second brother, Grand Duke Constantine, hum! That one has never been a governor, okay? To put it bluntly, he has surpassed this second brother in one fell swoop and become the top being among the princes!
Thinking of such a wonderful future, Grand Duke Mikhail naturally wanted Peter Balak to get away as far as he could, so naturally he would not help him sincerely. To be honest, it was a miracle that he didn't add insult to injury behind his back.
After Peter Balak was taken away, Grand Duke Mikhail had reached the limit of his patience. He could not wait to sit in Peter Balak's position and start giving orders immediately, living the addiction of a governor!
Grand Duke Mikhail’s little thoughts cannot be hidden from Count Rostovtsev’s eyes. He knows very well that this hypocrite Grand Duke has reached the limit of his patience. He is like a boiler running at full power. If he does not relieve the pressure quickly
, maybe it will explode immediately.
So how does Count Rostovtsev plan to relieve the pressure? It is definitely not a way to make Grand Duke Mikhail happy, because Count Rostovtsev knows very well what this man wants to do, and if he is allowed to mess around, it will be
It's quite troublesome, because he will definitely turn Ukraine into a mess.
Count Rostovtsev does not want Ukraine to be too chaotic. What he wants is orderly chaos. These conservatives will restrain each other and have no energy to restrain him. In that case, he can do whatever he wants, and in the end he can easily do it.
Break them all.
He did not intend to give Grand Duke Mikhail the opportunity to integrate the overall situation and become the boss of the Ukrainian conservatives, so looking at the eagerly eyeing Grand Duke Mikhail, he said lightly: "Your Highnesses, now I will immediately start to investigate Peter.
Lake's interrogation, and strive to find out the truth as soon as possible. And the government affairs of Ukraine are entrusted to you two, especially your Highness, Grand Duke Nicholas. As the eldest brother, you have to shoulder more responsibilities and must not disappoint His Majesty.
!”
As he said that, without waiting for Grand Duke Mikhail to react, he said quickly: "All the government affairs of Ukraine, large and small, will be left to you two. Everything will be decided by you two. If you two
If you have different opinions, come to me and I can help you make up your mind. Is this okay?"
Grand Duke Nicholas is a careless person, so he naturally has no objection to this arrangement. As for Grand Duke Mikhail, he also thinks that this arrangement is very suitable, because he feels that Grand Duke Nicholas is a careless person, and as long as he uses his words
He can be easily persuaded to nod. At that time, he will still have the final say in Ukraine's affairs. As for Count Rostovtsev's words of helping to make decisions, how could such a situation happen?
With such confidence, Grand Duke Mikhail naturally nodded repeatedly, and even praised Count Rostovtsev's arrangement as very appropriate, saying that this is how things should be done.
It's just that he didn't realize that this was actually a trap. The Grand Duke Nicholas, whom he thought he could control at will, was actually not that easy to control. Soon Grand Duke Nicholas would use practical actions to teach him a lesson about his naivety and naivety.
It’s a disease and needs to be treated well!
But let’s not mention these later. Let us say that Count Rostovtsev was directly escorted back to the Third Department of Kiev by Peter Balak and thrown into custody next door to Shuvalov.
Count Rostovtsev did not immediately start interrogating the pig head. Instead, he wrote a long letter and reported the whole story to Nicholas I in detail. In particular, he emphasized that he had entrusted all the government affairs of Ukraine to
His two naughty children.
After doing this, he strolled to the interrogation room and ordered Peter Barek to be interrogated...
