This question stunned Grand Duke Mikhail. Indeed, what was the benefit of Shuvalov colluding with Grand Duke Nikolai to ruin his good deeds? If there was no benefit, how could the two of them stop talking to him when they were tired?
However, Grand Duke Mikhail still refused to give up this speculation easily: "Maybe they are jealous of my achievements and deliberately sabotage it!"
Fyodor was speechless again for a while, because if you want to say that this possibility does not exist, it is not necessarily true. But he believed that it was Grand Duke Mikhail himself who was more likely to do this, and he was just trying to save others by himself.
"The problem is, this still doesn't do any good. The situation is so broken now. If they don't restrain themselves, the final result will be to anger Count Uvarov. Will Count Uvarov be happy then?"
This left Grand Duke Mikhail speechless for a moment, because Count Uvarov was really not a vegetarian. Even the princes like them were afraid of that count. If he really offended Count Uvarov, then
The consequences are too serious and cannot be carried by their little shoulders!
If it was just to destroy his good deeds, Shuvalov and Grand Duke Nikolai dared to speak against Count Uvarov, this was simply asking for death. Grand Duke Mikhail knew that those two people were not that stupid, so he guessed
It's obviously wrong.
"Then why does Nicholas go against me?"
People who are good at making trouble unreasonably are best at kicking the ball to others. Grand Duke Mikhail couldn't find the reason and threw the problem to Fyodor. He did it so confidently and naturally. It was obvious that this behavior was for him.
I've done it a lot before, otherwise I wouldn't be so skilled and natural!
Even Fyodor didn't take it seriously. He must have been accustomed to Grand Duke Mikhail's approach. He thought for a while and replied: "I think there must be a reason. Maybe Grand Duke Nicholas wants to find someone."
A little sense of presence, maybe he also wants a share of the pie?"
Grand Duke Mikhail obviously could not accept this explanation. He said angrily: "Looking for a sense of presence? For what? Does he think that by messing around now, others will notice him? As for getting a share of the pie, why? He
We didn’t do anything in Kiev, so why should we share the benefits?”
Fyodor was immediately stunned, because Grand Duke Mikhail was too arbitrary and domineering. Grand Duke Nicholas may indeed have no sense of existence, but he is a Grand Duke after all. According to the order of succession, he is still with you.
In front of you, what qualifications do you have to despise others?
What's more, it's not like I didn't do anything when I came to Kiev. I took the risk to contact Count Shuvalov. This is a great credit. I took the risk for this, and even took the risk in a sense.
He's older than you, so why can't others share the benefits?
It's just that these words are not suitable to be said too clearly. If they are said openly, it would be a slap in the face. So Fyodor could only vaguely remind Grand Duke Mikhail a few words and tell him that if Grand Duke Nicholas really has this kind of
His thoughts are normal, and he should indeed give the other party some benefits.
"Absolutely impossible!" But Grand Duke Mikhail refused flatly. His reason was very good: "There are only so many positions that can be taken in the entire Ukraine. I spent so much effort to divide them into three melons and two dates.
If I have to give him part of this place, wouldn’t my work be in vain?”
This reason is not generally strong. The question is, what if Grand Duke Nicholas thought the same way? He took risks and worked hard, but in the end he couldn't even take a bite of the scraps. Is this reasonable?
It's just that no matter how Feodor tried to persuade Grand Duke Mikhail, he just refused to let go. He just refused to give up part of the benefits to Grand Duke Nicholas. In this way, Feodor had no choice but to do so.
Neng sighed:
"Then you must be prepared for Grand Duke Nicholas to constantly cause trouble for you. If he really has that intention, he will never give up until he achieves his goal!"
Who would have thought that Grand Duke Mikhail snorted with disdain and said boldly: "Then let him try, I still don't believe that we can't deal with him!"
The two brothers were obviously going to turn against each other, but Grand Duke Nicholas was not as miserable as Grand Duke Mikhail thought. He did have contact with Grand Duke Constantine, and he did find it useful to win over this second brother.
.
But Grand Duke Mikhail is indeed not stupid. He knows what Grand Duke Constantine’s purpose is, so he will not foolishly join forces to help this second brother. He just thinks that some of Grand Duke Constantine’s words still make sense.
, he does need respect, so he should do something to let people know that he is not a mascot, but also has a temper.
Naturally, he showed his temper at the right time and vetoed Grand Duke Mikhail's somewhat excessive and rude request. He felt that Grand Duke Mikhail's attempt to replace the Kiev police chief was too much. Although this chief
He got closer to Count Shuvalov, but in any case he was on his own side.
Just because he doesn't pay much attention to your Grand Duke Mikhail, you can't change him, right? This is completely internal strife and infighting, and it's basically using power for personal gain.
Therefore, Grand Duke Nicholas did not hesitate to veto Grand Duke Mikhail's proposal out of a public conscience. He felt that what he did was absolutely right and that he was completely wrong about the situation and the person. He was even a little proud, thinking that he was indeed a
A mature and prudent person, unlike Grand Duke Mikhail who is so frivolous and only focused on his status and personal gain.
He had no idea that Grand Council Mikhail would regard this as a provocation on his part, and then try to retaliate.
"I don't agree! Baron Nares did not make any big mistakes, why should he be removed from office? There is no evidence to prove that he is related to the cases of Peter Barak and Merkulova. You cannot deny a person just because of a few rumors.
an honest person!"
Grand Duke Nicholas was shocked, because although this Baron Naresi was not directly related to the cases of Peter Barak and Merkulova, he who was in charge of political review had undoubtedly derelict in his duties.
If he had strictly controlled the situation, how could he have allowed Merkulova to help so many wanted Polish criminals slip through the border and escape? Isn't this dereliction of duty?
Grand Duke Nicholas felt that this man was a complete fool. As long as he had the slightest sense of responsibility, he should not have made such a big mistake. Just dismissing him now would be extrajudicial mercy.
But what did Grand Duke Mikhail say? He actually said that this bastard was an upright man? He also said that he should not be removed from office! Isn’t this crazy?
Suddenly Grand Duke Nicholas couldn't bear it anymore and said bluntly: "This is a serious crime of dereliction of duty! If he is not severely punished and dismissed from office, what will happen if everyone in the future will follow his example!"
