Peter Volkonsky replied unhurriedly: "Your Majesty, in my opinion, Count Adlerberg's concerns are quite reasonable. It is not ruled out that Count Speransky may have made some omissions. Although
Judging from the count’s previous performance, he is still fully reliable and trustworthy. But it is necessary to make extra preparations for such a big event!”
Nicholas I suddenly became more murderous, but Peter Volkonsky did not finish what he said, because after a pause, he immediately said: "But what worries me is that the distance from St. Petersburg to Bucharest is more than a thousand miles.
Sending the elite of the third unit to Bucharest will take at least a month to arrive, and it may even take longer!"
"The time is really too long. If Count Speransky really makes any omissions, even if the elite of the third part arrives at the scene, I am afraid they will not be able to deal with it completely. I am afraid that things will become more complicated and disadvantageous by then!"
Nicholas I reacted immediately. Old Adlerberg's suggestion seemed wise, but in fact it was a sinkhole. Because the distance was too far, even if the people from the third part arrived at the scene, the day lily would be cold.
If there was really a problem, it would have been exposed long ago and there would be no way to cover it up.
On the contrary, getting rid of Alexei is more like killing and silencing him, which will put Russia and him into greater trouble. Conspiracy theories similar to killing and silencing will definitely emerge in endlessly, which will make it even more embarrassing!
After thinking about this, a cold light flashed in Nicholas I's eyes. Although his face was calm, he firmly remembered old Adlerberg in his heart. Yes, although he did not
These old foxes are so keen, but once they pierce the window paper, they will understand everything they need to understand.
Nicholas I immediately knew that old Adlerberg was probably trying to get rid of Alexei. Although he didn't understand why old Adlerberg did this, it was nothing more than a power struggle or strife or something.
Let’s fight for the same party!
Nicholas I did not dislike the overt and covert fighting among his ministers, but this kind of overt and covert fighting must have limits, that is, it must not harm the interests of Russia and the royal family headed by him. Obviously, old Adlerberg's appearance today has greatly affected him.
Crossing the line, and thinking about Count Rostovtsev's previous report, made him even more wary of old Adlerberg!
For the first time, he felt that this old guy who specialized in pimping for his personal services might be full of evil and ambitious, so he had to be careful!
Of course, Nicholas I was also very alert and did not show such vigilance directly. Instead, he prepared to pretend as if nothing had happened, and then secretly observed every move of old Adlerberg, preparing to take a good look at what this old guy was like.
of ministers!
Nicholas I was still a little confident in his acting skills and thought he could hide it from other people's eyes, but in fact the effect was really mediocre, because none of the ministers around him were good at it, and they were struggling in the Winter Palace.
Over the years, they had become so familiar with Nicholas I that they were aware of his every body movement and every subtle facial expression.
It was simply impossible for Nicholas I to hide it from them!
On the contrary, these old foxes had better acting skills. They pretended that nothing happened, and then dispersed as if nothing had happened. However, after they dispersed, their true colors were fully revealed.
Peter Volkonsky said to Ordorf: "You were not there and did not see His Majesty's expression. Although he said nothing and seemed like nothing happened, I could see that he had already begun to
Pay attention, I’m afraid Vladimir will retire honorably and be raised at home soon! Haha!”
Peter Volkonsky is a little proud, because as the chief palace minister, there is a conflict of interest between him and the old Adlerberg. After all, they are both palace ministers and can be regarded as peers. Over the years, as Peter
Volkonski is getting older and less energetic, and power is gradually shifting to old Adlerberg.
How could Peter Volkonski not be worried about this? He didn't want to find out that he had been replaced by old Adlerberg as soon as he woke up, so he took the opportunity to beat the other party and let him know who was the boss.
It's very necessary.
"Exaggerated!" Although Ordorff had a good relationship with Peter Volkonsky, he had no conflict of interest with the old Adlerberg, so he did not intend to add insult to injury, but asked: "Why did he
Suddenly attacked Count Speransky? That little guy doesn’t seem to have offended him, right?"
Peter Volkonsky shook his head and said: "Who knows? Maybe it's the hatred from the past. After all, the old Count Speransky offended many people back then. Maybe Vladimir was one of the enemies.
!”
Ordorff hummed, thought for a moment and then asked: "Is Your Majesty really unhappy?"
Peter Volkonsky sneered and said: "What's the point? Although my eyes are old, I can still see clearly. His Majesty must be unhappy, at least he will give him a good beating!"
After a pause, he added: "And this time I have done you a big favor. If you follow Vladimir's suggestion and let your people deal with that little guy, you will know the consequences!"
Of course Ordolf knew the consequences. The reputation of Count Speranski back then was not very high. Even now, there are still many nobles who admire this count. If these people knew that he was the one who solved the problem of their idol's biological son,
, that’s not the same as putting him on a fire and roasting him!
Naturally, Ordorff didn't have a good impression of old Adlerberg either. What veteran ministers like them hated most was this kind of old cunt who was secretly plotting against others.
"Of course I won't let anyone bully me. It's up to me to tell that little guy about this. Don't let him be so stupid that he doesn't know whose plan he's eating!"
Peter Volkonsky suddenly heheed twice. He also meant the same thing. He did not believe that Alexei would be indifferent after knowing what old Adlerberg had done. He would definitely greet him well. At that time, that
The old guy's life will definitely be more difficult, and he will definitely become more honest!
Peter Volkonsky and Ordorf were in high spirits, but naturally old Adlerberg was gloomy. Nicholas I's dissatisfaction was hidden even from the dim-eyed Peter Volkonsky.
However, how could it be hidden from his eyes?
After returning home, he also blamed himself and was upset: "I was careless! I was really careless today! This old bastard Peter Mikhailovich dared to trick me... Hey, I still underestimated these old guys.
, this bastard must have been holding back his counterattack, but he can endure it for so long, he is indeed a bastard!"
