Duke Alexander's efficiency after "collecting money" was quite high, and he made perfect arrangements for old Adlerberg in minutes. Li Xiao was a little bit dumbfounded when he found out what the old man was really worried about.
What should I say? He really didn't expect that this little episode in the negotiation between Alexander II and Nicholas Milyutin would be so powerful. Even the dignified minister of palace affairs who stood at the top of the power pyramid couldn't stand it.
Can obediently kneel and sing Conquer.
This is probably the fascinating thing about power!
However, this also aroused his high vigilance. Imagine that Alexander II's casual words and a little attention could trigger such a big reaction. With his relationship with his cousin, if he was offended one day, let him
He made some similar complaints casually, so can he still live a good life?
If he doesn't want to be crushed, he may have to strengthen his own power quickly, otherwise his relationship with that family will be crushed to pieces sooner or later.
"I won't embarrass you, and you don't embarrass me. Let's keep a tacit understanding on this matter, okay?"
Li Xiao would not let down his guard against this old fox. He asked calmly: "Then how do you plan to maintain a tacit understanding? Or how can you explain the past to His Majesty and allow me to marry a satisfactory bride?
What? Don’t you think the two are completely irreconcilable?”
Old Adlerberg laughed dryly. He was indeed planning to fool Li Xiao, but who would have thought that this little kid wouldn't be fooled, which surprised him.
But he is not in a hurry. If one move fails, there is another move. An old fox like him who has become a master has nothing but rich experience in the officialdom. He can use all kinds of methods in an endless stream, but there is always one.
You can trick someone!
He smiled and said: "You are worrying too much. Your Majesty may forget this matter in two days. As long as you can deal with it in these few days, you will naturally be able to get through it!"
Li Xiao chuckled: "Then how do you plan to deal with it? I'm all ears!"
Old Adlerberg was full of evil ideas, and he replied calmly: "The simplest and most effective way is to report back that you have probably confirmed the marriage, and then find a woman from a very ordinary family to deal with it."
Just deal with it and that’s it!”
If it were anyone else, he might have been fooled by this old fox, but Li Xiao never hesitated to speculate on him with the greatest malice when dealing with him. He immediately expressed his disagreement: "If you do this, you will be off the hook. What if His Majesty decides like this?
What? Aren’t you trying to trick me!”
Old Adlerberg sighed in his heart. He was indeed planning to trick Li Xiao. If he followed his method, then when he reported back to Alexander II, he would encourage Alexander II to quickly confirm it for Li Xiao. In this way,
Li Xiao himself suffered a big loss, but he completed the task of Alexander II beautifully. How can someone not be fooled?
He could only smile and said: "How could I deceive you? If I wanted to deceive you, would I go to see Duke Alexander? If you don't believe me, don't you still believe in Duke Alexander?"
Li Xiao thought to himself: Don't tell me that I don't trust either you or Duke Alexander. That Duke is also an old fox, and he can't be trusted when it comes to key issues! What's more, I don't know what kind of friendship you have with Duke Alexander.
What's going on? If you use this to fool me, you think I'm a fool!
He chuckled and said: "Of course I can trust Duke Alexander, otherwise I can give you this face and sit here and chat with you? It's just that Duke Alexander is Duke Alexander, and we are us. This matter has nothing to do with him. He
That is to say, you are helping to make connections. If you want to solve this problem perfectly, it depends on whether you are sincere or not!"
Old Adlerberg suddenly felt a headache. He had heard before that Li Xiao was difficult to deal with and easy to fool, but he felt that no matter what he said, he was just a young man. How could he be troubled no matter how difficult he was to fool?
But after actually dealing with Li Xiao, he realized that the rumors were true. This person was indeed very powerful and was really hard to fool!
Look, if you ask him about his sincerity at all times, it means that if there is not enough benefit to be exchanged, then talk about it in person. Do you think he can avoid having a headache?
He had been raped by Duke Alexander before, and now he was being raped again by Li Xiao. Why did he feel like he was being taken advantage of?
"My sincerity is sufficient. If there is no sincerity, I can discuss with you how to fool His Majesty? Don't you know the nature of this?"
Li Xiao chuckled again: "You should be more honest. Anyway, the idea you just made was so bad. If this is the only way you can do it, then we really have nothing to talk about!"...
Seeing that Li Xiao was about to get out of the way, old Adlerberg quickly stopped him and said hurriedly: "If you are not satisfied with this method, let's think of another way! There is nothing that cannot be solved, as long as we sit down and take our time
After discussion, there will definitely be a way!"
Li Xiao also tried to scare him to prevent this old fox from playing tricks on him. Seeing that the other party gave in, he snorted and said: "...If it weren't for the sake of Duke Alexander, I would definitely leave. Your idea is real."
It’s unreliable. If that’s your idea, there’s no need to discuss this matter!”
"There is a way! There is a way!" Old Adlerberg said again and again, "Do you think this will work? You can cooperate with me to meet the famous lady I have arranged for you, and make preparations to start from me.
I will arrange for you to select the bride and groom, so that I can reply to Your Majesty..."
Li Xiao looked at him and asked, "What happens next? There must be a next step, right?"
Old Adlerberg quickly replied: "Of course, you just put this matter off, and your Majesty will forget about it as time goes by. After all, he has so many things to do and cannot care about you all day long. As long as he forgets about this matter,
Naturally, it will be settled. You can marry whomever you want in the future, and it will not affect you..."
Li Xiao was actually quite satisfied with this move, and he wished he could drag this matter out. But, Alexander II might be easy to fool, and he might forget it after two days, but the old Igor in his family was not
It's so easy to fool.
Old Igor was eager to take advantage of the opportunity of Alexander II to pay attention to this matter and quickly confirm the marriage for Li Xiao. After all, he was anxious to see Li Xiao get married.
Based on old Igor's attention to this matter, old Adlerberg's delaying plan probably won't work. Once he offends the old man, Li Xiao feels that it may be more troublesome than offending Alexander II.
So even if he and old Adlerberg wanted to delay this matter, they couldn't!
