Old Igor really couldn't think of any other advantages that Wallachia and Moldavia had. Apart from the Romanian natives who had been assimilated by the Turkish barbarians for hundreds of years, what else was there?
Oh, and there's malaria and various swamp-like environments, as well as the legends of Dracula and vampires.
Anyway, old Igor didn't like Romania very much, let alone the Romanian natives who were making anti-Russian noises. In his opinion, those guys were gloomy, bloody and grotesque, and they were all a bunch of lunatics.
Count Rostovtsev asked: "Do you know who the commander of the Black Sea Fleet is?"
Old Igor shook his head.
"Admiral Lazarev!"
Count Rostovtsev added: "Do you know that this admiral admires your little master very much?"
Old Igor suddenly showed a surprised expression. Li Xiao now holds the rank of the navy and is also under the command of the navy when he goes to Wallachia. He has an immediate superior who appreciates him and is protecting him. Don't be too happy about that.
The old man was immediately satisfied and said with a smile: "Earl, I misunderstood you. You are still thinking carefully."
Count Rostovtsev didn't care either. He even preferred the straightforward old Igor. It was more comfortable to deal with such a person than to fight wits with old scheming cowards like old Adlerberg every day.
Speaking of old Adlerberg, at this time, this old fox will probably react quickly and fall into the pit, right?
Old Adlerberg was still very well informed about the situation in the Winter Palace. Just as Count Rostovtsev expected, the old fox quickly realized that something was wrong.
"What? Your Majesty just called Grand Duke Constantine over and reprimanded him? He just transferred that bastard away? Why?"
Countess Lukyanovna had no way to answer this question. She was just a female prostitute. Who knew what Nicholas I would do.
Old Adlerberg thought for a while and asked: "Did your Majesty meet anyone before he reprimanded Grand Duke Constantine?"
Countess Lukyanovna thought for a moment and replied: "Count Rostovtsev and Prince Ordov have been here."
Old Adlerberg suddenly fell into deep thought. Both of these people are capable of changing Nicholas I's mind. Who are they specifically? But these two are not from Grand Duke Constantine, and have nothing to do with that Grand Duke.
There is no reason to interfere in the entanglement?
He had no clue, so he could only ask again: "Do you know what those two people talked about with His Majesty?"
Countess Lukyanovna suddenly smiled bitterly. She was just a palace maid. Although she had a relatively well-informed information network, she really didn’t know everything. Especially when it was about Nicholas I and Grand Duke Constantine, no one could hear or see it.
Don’t dare to talk loudly about anything!
Old Adlerberg sent Countess Lukyanovna away anxiously, feeling very uneasy. He knew that he might be in big trouble this time, and if he didn't figure it out, he might suffer heavy losses.
After pondering for a moment, he sent someone to inform Varvara Neridova, hoping to meet this powerful woman as soon as possible.
"See him?" Varvara Neridova asked Count Kleinmicher.
The earl said flatly: "It's best not to see him. That earl is involved in a big incident. It's very troublesome!"
Varvara Neridova asked: "How troublesome is it?"
Count Kleinmicher showed a solemn expression and replied: "It's very, very troublesome!"
Neridova nodded slightly and continued to ask: "Why? Can you tell me?"
Count Kleinmicher was a little confused. Logically speaking, he shouldn't tell Neridova why, because it involves the royal family and national policies. But before he could harden his heart to refuse, he just glanced at
After glancing at Neridova's eyes, he quickly softened.
After a while, Count Kleinmicher sighed and said: "There has been some unpleasantness between Grand Duke Constantine and Crown Prince Alexander recently, you know, right?"
Neridova nodded.
"Vladimir Adlerberg is a member of the crown prince's party. In order to help the crown prince, he recently used some means to secretly attack Grand Duke Constantine... After the incident was completed, he pretended to be an outsider as if nothing had happened, and showed up in the Winter Palace.
When he was a saint, he secretly... also tricked Grand Duke Constantine..."
Count Kleinmicher looked around, and when he saw that there was no outsider, he lowered his voice and whispered to Nelidova: "But Count Rostovtsev saw through it all. The third part collected information about Vlad
Count Kimil Adlerberg’s various little actions were summarized by him and reported to His Majesty..."
Neridova suddenly realized and said: "That's why Your Majesty is so angry! No wonder you suddenly canceled the appointment with me. It turns out that such a big thing happened!"
She asked curiously: "Then how is your Majesty going to punish this earl?"
Count Kleinmicher smiled bitterly and said: "The problem is that your Majesty has no intention of punishing him for the time being!"
This time it was Neridova's turn to be surprised: "Why?!"
Count Kleinmicher didn't know why. If he were Nicholas I, he would definitely make old Adlerberg look good. Not to mention kicking him out of the Winter Palace, he would at least be fined with a year's salary.
.
But Nicholas I showed no sign of any kind, no punishment, no reprimand, nothing at all, as if this incident had never happened from beginning to end.
This left Count Kleinmicher scratching his head. He suspected that the reason why Nicholas I had not expressed anything for the time being was probably because he was waiting to settle accounts in the future. The old Adlerberg must have a bad future, so he
Prevent Neridova from contacting the old fox.
After all, in politics, unknown threats are the most terrifying threats! Never take risks!
Neridova was not as nervous as Count Kleinmicher. This woman was much more courageous. There was no count or minister of palace affairs in her eyes, only money.
"Why do you want to see him again! Are you crazy?"
Nelidova smiled and gave Count Kleinmicher a sweet kiss and said: "Don't worry, I know what I know. I'm afraid this Count smelled something and realized that something was not good, so he came to me to find out the news.
of."
She chuckled and said: "As you just said, His Majesty has no plans to punish him for the time being. In other words, he will be fine in a short period of time. In this case, how can such a victim be let go?"
Count Kleinmicher was so surprised that he was speechless. He had a deeper understanding of Nelidova's "bad" character. This woman was so courageous that she even tried to kill old Adlerberg.
You dare to cheat!
While Neridova was arranging her appearance, she gave Count Kleinmicher a wink and said with a smile: "Why don't you dare? According to you, he won't be able to serve as a minister of palace affairs for a long time, haha..."
