Igor fell into deep thought. It was not that he thought Count Rostovtsev was being alarmist. With Li Xiao and David Leboeuf operating in Wallachia, his knowledge of that place was probably still limited to Nicholas I and Nicholas I.
Above the third part.
The great achievements of the Mikheyevich brothers Igor knew very well that if there was a problem with food and grass in a war, the outcome would not be much better.
After thinking for a while, Igor suddenly asked: "Isn't this issue being discussed at this imperial meeting? Is there any result?"
Count Rostovtsev smiled, a bit noncommittal. Looking at his expression, one knew that the imperial meeting would probably have no results.
Igor immediately said angrily: "Nikolai Pavlovich turned a blind eye to such a big matter. He must be too doting on the old eunuch!"
Count Rostovtsev still just smiled and had no intention of answering at all. This made Igor quite dissatisfied. He said angrily: "If you keep acting like this, then there is no need for us to continue talking.
!”
Count Rostovtsev sighed softly. He was not used to explaining everything too clearly. Why waste time on things that can be expressed clearly with a look or a hint?
Don’t you know that talking too much will lead to mistakes? If you want to live a long and comfortable life, the first thing you need to do is to control your tongue!
But it was Igor who made the request, and he could only reluctantly agree: "The discussion was naturally fruitless. Paskovich wished he could monopolize Austria, Wallachia, and Moldavia. Now Mi
Khail Gorchakov is so devastated that he has no time to rejoice, so how can he allow grain and grass to pass through his territory?"
"As for the other old foxes, in order not to offend Menshikov, they certainly don't want to make too many statements... As for His Majesty, Menshikov is his confidant after all. Although this mistake is very undeserved, he has always been that person.
He has a good temper and is always very tolerant to his confidants!"
After a pause, Count Rostovtsev suddenly smiled and said: "However, this time there is something fun. The conflict between Crown Prince Alexander, His Majesty, and Grand Duke Constantine has become irreconcilable. If it weren't for Uvarov
Intervene and the scene will become very interesting!"
Igor looked at Count Rostovtsev who was gloating about his misfortune speechlessly. Sometimes you really can’t figure out which side this person is on. You can say that he is a revolutionary party. This guy is loyal to the imperial power and opposes similar things.
With the drastic methods of the French Revolution, it was believed that the emperor should be retained and learning from Britain's advanced experience would be enough.
But you say he is a royalist. This guy is so unscrupulous whenever he sees royal jokes. No matter how you look at them, they are all from the bottom of his heart. Do you think there is such a virtuous royalist?
After thinking about it for a while, Igor gave up. It wasn't the first day he met Qi Pa, and he was already used to Qi Pa's weird ways.
"You didn't do anything?" Igor asked suddenly.
Count Rostovtsev nodded and said: "Of course, it will be enough to help the crown prince relieve his waist and gain a good impression!"
Igor was speechless. He pointed at Count Rostovtsev's nose and was so angry that he couldn't speak. After a while, he said: "You... you... you just let go of this good opportunity? Are you crazy?"
"
Count Rostovtsev just glanced at him and asked: "Why do you say that? Are there any good opportunities elsewhere?"
Igor said bitterly: "Isn't this the best opportunity to completely sow discord between father and son and make them on the same level? If we can instigate discord between father and son and make them fight like dog bites dog, then we won't have a chance.
!”
Count Rostovtsev snorted contemptuously and said disdainfully: "Short-sighted, you don't understand the father and son very well. Do you think instigation is useful? Naive!"
Igor was unconvinced and said: "How do you know it's useless if you haven't even tried it?"
Count Rostovtsev waved his hand and said domineeringly: "If I say it's useless, it's useless. Guys who don't understand the father and son have no right to make irresponsible remarks!"
Igor was choked and speechless. He couldn't figure out why Count Rostovtsev was so stubborn. It was really annoying that he gave up such a good opportunity at the drop of a hat.
"Because that is not a chance at all!" Count Rostovtsev also revealed that Igor was in a mood, and patiently explained clearly: "Crown Prince Alexander is more cowardly than you think, even if he suffered a great humiliation.
, but as long as the provocateur is his younger brother and the instigator is his father, he will not take any action and will only endure silently!"
Count Rostovtsev said with a sneer: "He is an honest boy. If you go to stir up trouble in his ear at this time, he will tell him what you said when he turns around. Tell me about the person who stirred up trouble at that time."
What will be the result?"
Igor suddenly stopped talking, and it took him a long time to say: "Is this crown prince really so honest?"
"Well!" Count Rostovtsev snorted, "I have been watching the Winter Palace for twenty years, and no one knows better than me what kind of temper this family has... The crown prince is extremely afraid of his father.
, simply did not have the courage to challenge Nicholas... As for the Grand Duke Constantine, he is quite courageous, but in fact, just like Alexander, Nicholas can scare him with just one look..."
"The two of them don't have the courage to launch a coup at all. They don't even dare to think about it. What's the use of instigating such trash?"
Igor fell silent immediately. This was the first time he had heard that the Crown Prince and Grand Duke Constantine were such cowards. If Count Rostovtsev had not lied, there would be no point in fanning the flames.
At this time, Count Rostovtsev said again: "You think I haven't tried it before? Why do you think Nicholas doesn't like the cowardly Alexander?"
As soon as these words came out, Igor was taken aback again. He looked at Count Rostovtsev in disbelief with his eyes wide open. He seemed to have a thousand words to say, but could not utter a single word.
Count Rostovtsev sighed: "It took me twenty years to create the current situation, but you think I did nothing. Who do you think Zhukovsky was as Alexander's teacher?"
suggestion?"
Count Rostovtsev seemed to have opened up the conversation and began to talk non-stop: "You don't know anything. You think that I have done nothing in these years and that there are any so-called opportunities. I tell you for the last time, give up on those who don't know anything."
I’ve tried all practical ideas, but they don’t work! And even if they do, I advise you not to use them indiscriminately recently! Otherwise, it’s very likely that you’re getting married!”
