Little Adlerberg didn't understand. The old man was obviously a little domineering today, so why was he still unhappy? Wasn't the lesson given to Grand Duke Constantine enough? Or maybe this was because he was worried about Grand Duke Constantine's retaliation.
?
"I'm not worried about Grand Duke Constantine." Old Adlerberg snorted contemptuously, "I'm worried about the other Grand Duke!"
Little Adlerberg was a little confused, the other Grand Duke? Which one? Grand Duke Nicholas or Grand Duke Mikhail, those two are not as good as Grand Duke Constantine, they are still brats!
"What do your Majesty's sons have to worry about?"
Old Adlerberg glared at him angrily and said: "Those children are all like their father, very discerning. Grand Duke Constantine is considered a powerful person in the city. What do they have to worry about!"
"
Little Adlerberg asked strangely: "Then which Grand Duke are you worried about?"
Old Adlerberg said solemnly: "What I'm worried about is the Grand Duke Andrei Konstantinovich!"
Little Adlerberg was stunned again. Although he admitted that Li Xiao was somewhat capable, being somewhat capable and being worthy of worry were completely different things. In his opinion, although Li Xiao had shown some performance before, he had probably caught him.
Opportunities involve luck. As long as Nicholas I is serious, and as long as Crown Prince Alexander and Grand Duke Constantine don't continue their internal strife, Li Xiao will crush him to death with just a finger.
"childish!"
Old Adlerberg snorted again and criticized dissatisfiedly: "It seems that you are not much better than Grand Duke Constantine. You are not aware of the danger of that bastard Grand Duke at all!"
The old man's eyes suddenly radiated light, and he said seriously: "That bastard Grand Duke does have some luck. But turning danger into good luck along the way is definitely not luck. Now it seems that he is walking very steadily, and everything is in order.
In his plan, Duke Ordorf, Menshikov, Grand Duke Constantine, and Crown Prince Alexander..."
At this point, the old man paused for a moment, glanced at little Adlerberg, and commented rudely: "You and I are just playing around with applause."
"Duke Ordorff could do nothing to him. Menshikov was punished and suspended. Crown Prince Alexander was in tears. Even Grand Duke Constantine seemed to have taken a lot of advantage, but he also paid a lot of money.
The price of Fei..."
"Haha, he exposed his ambition too early and offended veterans like me. He will be in trouble in the future. What's more important is that his relationship with Crown Prince Alexander will never go back to normal."
"Amazing!"
Old Adlerberg sighed quietly and exclaimed: "I have been wondering before, how could Grand Duke Constantine be so enlightened and suddenly join forces with the shame of the family. This is something I have never been able to figure out. It is not possible at all.
Fits the personality of Grand Duke Constantine!”
"I thought that boy had changed his gender, or that he had powerful aides around him. Now it seems that he was probably seduced by that bastard Grand Duke. He is so powerful, he uses all available means to attack the enemy, and he doesn't even care about grudges or anything.
Honor and disgrace..."
Having said this, old Adlerberg suddenly stared at little Adlerberg and looked him up and down. After a long time, he said: "I'm afraid you are not as good as him in this aspect. You still care about face, reputation, and the ties of grudges.
It is easy to be disturbed by these external objects. You are not as good as that bastard Grand Duke!"
Little Adlerberg was shocked again. This was the first time he had been shocked today. But this time it was more severe than the previous times. He was actually evaluated by his old father as inferior to a bastard dwarf.
"Mongrel dwarf?"
Old Adlerberg sneered again: "I have also been called a dull old lady. Does this affect my position as Minister of Palace Affairs, my ability to become His Majesty's confidant, and my ability to hold great power?"
"Those things are meaningless! Even if a million people praise you as handsome, smart, and witty as a dragon among men, are you really that?"
Little Adlerberg stopped talking. Because the old man was right, those are just false names. Whether they are good or bad, such false names mean nothing. The real key thing is your true ability.
, that is the real thing.
"I understand, father. From now on, I will definitely abandon the influence of those false reputations and look at things more objectively!"
"very good!"
Old Adlerberg nodded. He likes his son's progressive style of correcting his mistakes the most. It doesn't matter for young people to suffer some setbacks. As long as they learn lessons and improve, every time they suffer is a blessing.
ah!
"But these are just hindsight."
The old man thought for a while and sighed: "If I had known that bastard was capable of this, I shouldn't have let you get involved in such bad things. There won't be much benefit, but it's more likely to make you a mess!"
Little Adlerberg seemed to want to say something, but he had some scruples. How could his expression be hidden from the old fox's eyes? The old man immediately smiled and said: "Are you trying to say that the situation is not that bad. It just needs to be repaired."
After you finish Archduke Constantine, can you let go and teach that bastard a lesson?"
Little Adler's Adam's apple moved, and he really wanted to answer yes. But after looking at the old man's joking expression, he swallowed the words carefully.
"I still have a bit of memory. I know that I can't answer some random questions if I haven't thought them through clearly."
Old Adlerberg suddenly sighed again: "Do you think the bastard Grand Duke is still the same as he was a few months ago?"
Without waiting for little Adlerberg to answer, the old man continued: "A few months ago, he was really nothing and could be knocked down with one finger. But now it is completely different. He has messed up the situation."
It’s a mess and extremely complicated. Various interests are entangled around him. Unless Grand Duke Constantine and Crown Prince Alexander can work together again, no matter which side wants to deal with him, the other side will be held back!"
"Not only that, he actually established a cooperative relationship with the Gorchakov family. In this way, in order to protect their own interests, the Gorchakov family will definitely protect him."
"This kid is so awesome. He was able to knock on the door of Gorchakov's house and get those two old foxes to help willingly. I really don't know how he did it!"
Old Adlerberg was full of sighs, and after a long time he said: "Well, in Sertolov, you should be more careful, do things without fault and without seeking merit, and don't get involved in the conflict between the Crown Prince and Grand Duke Constantine.
The fight between us. Keep a low profile, and don’t deliberately target that bastard.”
The old fox emphasized: "It's not that I don't think highly of you, but it's more beneficial to us to keep this bastard for the time being!"
