Viscount Prozolov is telling the truth. For him, private property is sacred and inviolable, especially the land passed down from ancestors, which is equivalent to a gift from God and cannot be infringed.
But now that Grand Duke Constantine was carrying out reforms, he directly attacked the nobles and cut off all their land without giving a cent of compensation. This was almost equivalent to open robbery, and he really couldn't accept it.
He always felt that this was going too far and that there was no basic law at all. If the whole world imitated Grand Duke Constantine, how could the nobles survive?
Grand Duke Constantine glanced at him and replied calmly: "Otherwise? Do you still need to be kind to those enemies? It's not like you haven't seen how they tricked me before!"
Viscount Prozolov fell silent. It was natural to punish the enemy, but the attack was a bit too wide now. They were all on the opposite side of all the Moldavia nobles. There was a saying that not all Moldavia had
Are all the sub-nobles going against you, the Grand Duke?
Is it really okay for you to overturn a whole boat of people with one stroke like this?
Grand Duke Constantine looked at him again and sneered: "You mean to let go of those guys who don't go against me? By the way, how many are there?"
Viscount Prozolov was speechless again, because what he really wanted was not to let a few people go, but to punish only the culprits and let the others go. However, Grand Duke Constantine came back with just one sentence.
Because he also knew that there were not many Moldavia nobles who did not stand against Constantine's enemies. The entire country could be counted on two hands.
According to his logic, what's the point of letting these people go? What's the difference between 99% and 100%?
But if you ask Viscount Prozolov to tell his true feelings to his face, he would not dare to do so. He is well aware of how much Grand Duke Constantine hates those supporters of the Moldavian rebels.
, it is impossible for Grand Duke Constantine to let them go.
If he dares to go against Archduke Constantine on this issue, the already precarious relationship will collapse in an instant.
Viscount Prozolov has not forgotten what he did before to persuade Grand Duke Constantine to bow to Li Xiao and Alexei. If he repeats his direct advice at this time, he will definitely fall out.
Besides, the reason why he dared to speak out before was because Grand Duke Constantine was in a precarious situation and could be destroyed at any time. Anyway, he had nothing to lose, so he said what he said.
But now the situation has improved. Not to mention everything is great, at least the risk of being ousted is no longer there for the time being. As long as we continue to deal with the rebels step by step, the possibility of Archduke Constantine regaining control of Moldavia is still very high.
Wouldn't it be foolish to fall out with the boss and be kicked out under such circumstances?
Anyway, Viscount Prozolov is not that stupid. He knows when to speak out and when to turn a blind eye.
And the unlucky ones are those bastards in Moldavia, so he can't do it even more. The reason why he raised this issue with Grand Duke Constantine tactfully is just his responsibility as a nobleman. He just has to fulfill his obligations.
Too serious!
What happened in Moldavia must not be concealed, and there is no way to hide it. The Moldavia nobles who were deeply affected must have gone to St. Petersburg to cry out their grievances, hoping that Count Uvarov and the conservatives would help
They resisted Grand Duke Constantine and at least abolished the policy of emancipation of serfs that was like robbery.
Naturally, Count Uvarov would not ignore it. After learning that Grand Duke Constantine suddenly died, he couldn't sit still, because what Moldavia did was what he feared the most.
If they take medicine according to orders and do it in Russia, then where will they have food to eat?
After receiving the relevant accusations, Count Uvarov turned around and raised this issue in the imperial meeting. He said to Nicholas I very seriously and even sternly:
"Your Majesty, I think what is happening in Moldavia must be focused on. His Highness Grand Duke Constantine's new policy has thrown the country into chaos. Almost all the nobles are strongly opposed and resisted, which will lead to their
Completely siding with the rebels will further worsen the situation in Moldavia!"
"If we don't take drastic measures to intervene, I'm afraid there will be big problems!"
Count Uvarov's expression and his tone made him look so worried about the country and the people, as if the sky would fall if he didn't listen to him.
Nicholas I raised his eyelids, his face expressionless, and it was unclear what his attitude was. He asked slowly: "Count, what intervention measures do you think should be taken to solve this problem?"
Count Uvarov thought that his words had reached the heart of Nicholas I, and immediately said: "The new policy in Moldavia should be abolished immediately to appease the panicked nobles. It is best to send an effective imperial envoy to Moldavia."
Via assists His Highness Grand Duke Constantine in stabilizing the situation!"
"Is this useful?" Nicholas I asked again slowly.
"I think it should be useful. The Moldavia nobles have always been quite honest. If Grand Duke Constantine's new policy had not angered them and forced them to have no way out, they would not have chosen to cooperate with the rebels!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Count Rostovtsev suddenly interrupted and asked: "Count, you just said that the Moldavia nobles cooperated with the rebels. Is the news true?"
Count Uvarov was very wary of Count Rostovtsev's every move. His sudden intervention to ask such a question must have deep meaning, but most people knew about it. You want to say such a large-scale
Is it possible that the rebellion did not involve the Moldavia nobles?
Do you really think that those defenseless mud-legged people can use dung forks and shovels to make Grand Duke Constantine miserable?
Count Uvarov thought for a while and replied: "There is relevant information. Some Moldavia aristocrats cannot bear the oppression of the New Deal and choose to cooperate with the rebels. If the New Deal is not terminated, there will probably be more and more Moldavia aristocrats."
Support the rebels, at that time..."
Nicholas I suddenly interrupted him: "Do you mean that as long as the New Deal is terminated, these people will be honest, and then the rebellion will disappear immediately and everything will return to the state before the rebellion?"
Count Uvarov was stunned. He never expected that Nicholas I would ask such a childish question. Because the answer is obvious, it is absolutely impossible. How could the Moldavia nobles be so violent that they would just abolish the New Deal?
After settling down, their ultimate goal must be to gain more autonomy...
