It was really shocking that Uvarov suddenly came out and said something like this. Including Nicholas I, Neserrode and others all looked like they had seen a ghost, because Uvarov
In fact, he is similar to Count Rostovtsev. He usually doesn't say much whether it is a conference or a small meeting, but once he does speak, it is very crucial and important.
But today, not only did Uvarov suddenly speak, but he also directed his words directly at Grand Duke Constantine. This is very surprising and crucial.
Because Uvarov directly expressed his attitude: [I do not support Grand Duke Constantine, and Crown Prince Alexander is the only heir in my heart!]
You know, Uvarov was Nicholas I's literary and spiritual spokesman. He had a great influence on Nicholas I's policies and preferences. Once he expressed his support for Crown Prince Alexander, then
Nicholas I must be valued and respected.
What's more, Uvarov's speech today was a bit direct. To put it mildly, he would have slapped Grand Duke Constantine in front of him or even slapped Nicholas I in the face. Such a decisive attitude! It was like a fish-or-death situation.
Grand Duke Constantine's expression was ugly, because Uvarov declared war on him face to face, almost telling the ministers that they would not serve him. This was too sudden and caught him off guard.
Because just a few seconds ago, Grand Duke Constantine was very proud and happily watched his old father beat up his crybaby brother. According to this trend, today at least Crown Prince Alexander will have no prestige at all. It can't be done well.
The crown prince's position is no longer secure.
This means that his chances have greatly increased. How can he be unhappy? So, just now he was secretly cheering for his old father, hoping that his storm would come more violently.
But who would have thought that in the blink of an eye, with a thunder in the ground, Uvarov would actually fire at him, and with full firepower from the very beginning, he was going to kill him!
At this moment, Grand Duke Constantine was nervous, because he knew that Uvarov's attack was a challenge. If he could defeat Uvarov, then he would have a bright future, but if he failed, thinking about the old man just now
How did his father treat Alexander? I’m afraid he was the one who was pointed at the nose and humiliated at that time!
A thin layer of sweat appeared on Archduke Constantine's forehead. His mind was working at full speed, trying hard to think of a solution. He felt that if he could make a better suggestion than Alexander, then he would fight Uvaro in person.
The face of my husband proves to the world that he is indeed better than Alexander!
It's just... it's a pity that Grand Duke Constantine's level is actually just like that, basically on the same level as Crown Prince Alexander. He can also think of ways that Crown Prince Alexander can think of, but there are ways that Crown Prince Alexander can't.
, naturally he couldn’t think of it either.
Time passed by, and Archduke Constantine was already sweating profusely, but the more anxious he was, the more his mind became inoperable. The poor little fat man couldn't help but scream in his heart: "Why am I like this?"
Unlucky, why did Sasha give out all the ideas he could come up with? It would be great if I could come up with an idea first!】
This person often has no self-awareness, and Grand Duke Constantine doesn’t even think about it. All of Crown Prince Alexander’s ideas were rejected by Nicholas I. What’s the point of being ahead of the curve?
Grand Duke Constantine fell into silence and could not extricate himself, and the ministers present at the meeting had not yet recovered from the shock brought by Uvarov - today we were not discussing the trivial matter of the Black Sea Fleet, why suddenly
Has it come to this?
Suddenly, whether it was Prime Minister Nesserrodie, Minister of War Chernyshev, Duke Ordorf, Peter Volkonsky, or old Adlerberg, they all stared at Burma angrily.
Shikov, their thoughts are probably:
[You old eunuch, look at the good things you have done! If I were not yours, why would it be like this! 】
Menshikov was really trembling, and he was also frightened, because he did not expect that things would develop like this. If he knew that the Mikheyevich brothers would cause such big trouble, he would definitely
How about killing these two bastards first!
Menshikov wanted to explain to his colleagues around him, but who was willing to listen to his nonsense at this time? Everyone was more concerned about how the day would end. Judging from this trend, it might be another big earthquake!
Nicholas I was also shocked. It took him a long time to come back to his senses and looked at Uvarov with a calm expression, looking at this literary courage he had always trusted. He really couldn't figure out how this literary courage dared to be so presumptuous.
!
Yes, Nicholas I was also angered by Uvarov. After all, although the other party just went for Grand Duke Constantine, and the main firepower was concentrated on Grand Duke Constantine, the questions he asked also hit him.
The face of Nicholas I. After all, Nicholas I just said that Grand Duke Constantine was better than Crown Prince Alexander, and wanted Crown Prince Alexander to learn from Grand Duke Constantine.
But now Uvarov questioned it face to face, almost saying: "Your Majesty, you are wrong. Grand Duke Constantine is no better than Crown Prince Alexander at all, otherwise, why would he not be able to say anything useful!"
It is conceivable how angry and embarrassed Nicholas I is now. The anger is because of Uvarov's offense, and the embarrassment is because Grand Duke Constantine is like a dumb bird and can't say anything. This is not the implementation of his wise policy.
Can His Majesty the Emperor also make mistakes?
Such a result was naturally unacceptable to Nicholas I. He felt that his authority would be shattered to pieces and his majesty would be gone!
It's a pity that Nicholas I has nothing to do about the current situation. He can't help Grand Duke Constantine with advice, and to be honest, he, as a father, is no better than his two sons. He
There is no other way.
The scene was so cold that it made people feel suffocating. The timid ministers were afraid to express their anger, for fear that if they did something wrong, they would get angry and burn themselves. They really couldn't afford to offend this kind of three-flavored fire!
It's just that these people were afraid, but Uvarov was not afraid. His heart was calm and unruffled, as if he had done an insignificant thing with ease. He even disliked the scene at hand for not being suffocating enough, and disliked Grand Duke Constantine.
The anger with Nicholas I was not intense enough, so he poured another scoop of oil on him without hesitation!
"Your Excellency, why didn't you say anything? Your Majesty and we are all waiting for your insights!"
