Three hundred and sixtieth chapters wonderful work
Viscount Prozolov smiled slightly and replied confidently: "I have been observing them for a while, and I found that Grand Duke Mikhail did a lot of small things behind Grand Duke Nikolay's back, such as colluding with local forces in Kiev.
, obviously he also wants a piece of the pie!"
Grand Duke Constantine looked at him and said doubtfully: "So what? You also know that Nicholas is a fool. As long as you give him enough money and women, he won't bother to care so much!"
Viscount Prozolov smiled and said: "Yes, it seems that Grand Duke Nicholas does not have any ambition. But having no ambition does not mean that he has no desire!"
Grand Duke Constantine looked at Viscount Prozolov curiously, obviously hoping that the other party could explain what this meant.
Viscount Prozolov did not give in, and explained in detail: "Even if Grand Duke Nicholas just wants to live his life, he definitely does not want his life to be tight. If there is a better life, why?
Why do you want to be a grandson when you have to look at other people’s faces? Regardless of what Grand Duke Nicholas said, I’m afraid he still has some complaints about the way he and Grand Duke Mikhail get along. After all, he is the elder brother!”
This is true. Although Grand Duke Nicholas has been cooperating with Grand Duke Mikhail, he still occasionally shows impatience and unhappiness. On the surface, it seems that it is because he has to accompany Rostovtsev.
The count's interrogation of prisoners made him impatient.
But the real reason may not be that simple. Although there is boredom and impatience caused by serious work, the deeper reason why Grand Duke Nicholas is emotional is that he has no control over things!
No, it should be said that he does not even have the power to make suggestions. Basically, he will do whatever Grand Duke Mikhail tells him to do. If Grand Duke Mikhail tells him to go east, he will go east, and if Grand Duke Mikhail tells him to go east, he will go east.
It can only go west.
As an elder brother, do you think Grand Duke Nicholas will be comfortable? Because according to convention, he should be the one who should give orders, but Grand Duke Mikhail came from behind and got on top of him.
Do you think that Grand Duke Nicholas is really a novice and doesn’t know that Grand Duke Mikhail is doing something behind his back?
Grand Duke Nicholas knew more or less, but he just buried his dissatisfaction secretly in his heart. Because everyone around him thought that he was an incompetent totem or mascot, and there was no need to care whether he was happy or unhappy.
The indifference and contempt of the people around him must have hurt him, but he couldn't change it because he really didn't have much ability, so he could only endure it silently.
However, don't think that he thinks this is good, or that he will always accept it. His patience is just because he can't resist for the time being.
Viscount Prozolov told Grand Duke Constantine: "As long as you express your concern and respect for Grand Duke Nicholas in a timely manner and hint that you are willing to recommend him as the governor of Ukraine, I think he will soon fall out with Grand Duke Mikhail.
!”
Grand Duke Constantine was shocked because he never thought that his incompetent third brother could hide so many thoughts. To be honest, he had never paid attention to this younger brother and felt that he was just a useless spare tire.
But now it seems that this spare tire also has emotions, and if used properly, it can be put to great use, and it can teach Grand Duke Mikhail a lesson!
Is Grand Duke Nicholas really that easy to take the bait? Grand Duke Constantine didn't believe it at first. He didn't think that just by saying a few gentle and caring words, and hinting that he could help with recommendations, he could turn Grand Duke Nicholas back.
Because he felt that anyone with a little bit of brain would know that this was simply impossible. If he could casually recommend someone else to be the governor of Ukraine, then he would be so troubled! If he couldn't just recommend himself, that would be the end of the matter. Why was he so worried?
Viscount Prozolov explained this: "Your Highness, you are wrong. Of course Grand Duke Nicholas knows that you have no power to make him the governor of Ukraine. He knows very well that he cannot become the governor of Ukraine!"
Grand Duke Constantine was dumbfounded by this. If Grand Duke Nicholas knew about it, what did he want? Is he crazy?
"His Royal Highness Grand Duke Nicholas is certainly not crazy, all he wants is respect!"
This sentence can be regarded as revealing the truth of the matter. For Grand Duke Nicholas, who has been ignored for a long time and is dispensable, and even his younger brother dares to ride on his neck and give orders, what does he want most?
Is it the position of governor? In fact, he is not very interested in being governor. This is not his ambition. What he wants is understanding and respect. If anyone can treat him as an equal, then he will naturally be close to him!
After listening to Viscount Prozolov's analysis, Grand Duke Constantine was dumbfounded. He had never thought that his younger brother had such an unknown and bitter history. If he had cared about and comforted that guy earlier, wouldn't that guy have been in trouble earlier?
Can you just bow your head and let him drive you around?
If Viscount Prozolov knew his thoughts, he would definitely pour cold water on the spot. The reason is very simple. It is true that Grand Duke Nicholas lacks love, but he is not really stupid. You can treat him as if you care about him casually.
Donkeys command, how is that possible!
For Grand Duke Nicholas, living his own life freely is always the first priority. No one can try to motivate him with a little fame and fortune. He is not that despicable.
It's just that if conditions permit, who respects him more, he will naturally reciprocate. But this reciprocation has limits, and it is impossible to really let him act like a cow or a horse.
But now it can only be said that it happened at the right time. Grand Duke Mikhail's mistake gave Grand Duke Constantine the opportunity to take advantage of the loophole. Moreover, Grand Duke Constantine did not have any particularly excessive demands. He just asked Grand Duke Nicholas to help muddy the waters.
.
If Grand Duke Constantine changes his request and asks Grand Duke Nicholas to stand on his side and help deal with Uvarov, do you think Grand Duke Nicholas will still be so easy to talk to?
To put it bluntly, this is another situation of mutual benefit. Grand Duke Nicholas does not mind doing a little favor for Grand Duke Constantine, so as to improve his status and influence, and by the way, he also gains some love and respect from his brother.
See, satisfy the most urgent needs of his barren heart.
As for the future, he will naturally still be that romantic and unrestrained prince with no real ability and no sense of existence. He will still live his romantic and unrestrained life. Whether he is fighting for heirs or fighting for power, it has nothing to do with him. He doesn't have that ambition.
I can’t afford to worry about that!
When Viscount Prozolov explained the matter completely, Grand Duke Constantine was speechless for a while. He really didn't expect that he had such a younger brother. How strange it was! But it was good for him, at least Sai
There is one less spare runner on the road, which can be regarded as reducing the pressure of competition!
