Count Rostovtsev shook his head and sighed slightly: "Of course Nicholas is not so generous. How can the title of prince be so good? He just threw out the bait and hinted a little, so that
Both Paskovich and Duke Mikhail thought that whoever quelled the revolution in Austria would be crowned a prince!"
Igor frowned and said, "Actually, he has no such plan?"
Count Rostovtsev snorted coldly: "Of course not, he just wanted to use a bait to lure Paskovich and Duke Mikhail to work hard. Think about it if he wanted to give the title of prince,
We will never order them to each lead an army to compete!"
After Igor pondered for a moment, he took another breath of air-conditioning: "Is Nicholas deliberately creating conflicts and balancing?!"
Count Rostovtsev sneered and said: "You finally saw that this is his plan! This guy will not trust anyone at all. The more capable he is of leading troops and the more prestigious he is in the army, the more suspicious he will be."
"Nowadays, both Paskovich and Duke Mikhail have some great achievements. If they continue to expand, it will be too big for the crown prince! So naturally Nikolai has to find some for them.
To do things, provoke their relationship, it is best to make them hostile to each other to check and balance each other, then naturally there will be no threat!"
Igor shook his head and spat: "This guy is getting more and more cunning. Even his henchmen don't forget to guard against him. He has no humanity at all!"
Count Rostovtsev was not as angry as Igor, but he understood Nicholas I's choice better. How could an emperor not have an emperor's mind? There were civil strife after the death of several previous generations of emperors in Russia. What was the reason?
?Most of them are civil strife involving powerful ministers and princes.
Nicholas I obviously learned the lesson and deliberately maintained a balance among his ministers, allowing everyone to check each other, and strictly limited the influence of the military bosses. Although the method was a little messy, the effect was still
Not bad.
Anyway, no matter it is Paskovich, Menshikov or Duke Mikhail, even if they have military power, they do not dare to have the slightest idea of overstepping. This is the ability of Nicholas I!
Therefore, Count Rostovtsev did not comment on Igor's rants. Although he admitted that this method was a bit despicable and impersonal, the emperor could not be too affectionate in the first place, and it would be a good thing to be ruthless.
"Okay, I've said what I need to say, just let your little master be careful!"
Count Rostovtsev was about to throw away and leave, but Igor stopped him again: "Old friend, don't leave in a hurry! We haven't finished talking yet! Don't tell you that there are no arrangements in Austria!"
"
Count Rostovtsev immediately felt sick. The reason why he was in a hurry to leave was because he didn't want to talk to Igor about this, because his arrangements in Austria were very meaningful, and he really didn't want Igor to take Li Xiao with him.
The stabilizing factor is involved. If something bad happens, who will he cry to?
Obviously, Igor has also seen through this, but Igor really wants to take advantage of this opportunity. After all, Count Rostovtsev's power and resources at his disposal are not comparable to that of Li Xiao.
The ability of the two parties to get things done is vastly different.
If you can catch a ride with Count Rostovtsev, then Li Xiao's actions in Austria will definitely gain more. This will be of great benefit to Li Xiao in the future, so naturally he can't miss it!
The two looked at each other wordlessly for a long time, and it seemed that neither of them was willing to give in, but it was obvious that Count Rostovtsev's aura was at a loss. After a while, he sighed and said: "Who told me to owe you anything?
?what you up to?"
Igor smiled: "I don't have any high demands. You know very well that my little master is in an awkward position right now. With Nikolai's temper, even if he achieves extraordinary feats, he will try his best to suppress him. This
The most obvious example was back in Wallachia, where a mere medal of St. George was given away, how could such a thing be possible!"
Count Rostovtsev was also speechless for a while. In fact, anyone with a discerning eye would know that Nicholas I's actions were unreasonable, and the bowl of water was held too unevenly. To make it clear was to clearly suppress him.
Naturally, he also feels pity for Li Xiao, but the problem is that it is a pity, but he is not allowed to fight for Li Xiao. And now Igor has made the matter clear, which shows that this old friend is serious about this.
He is highly dissatisfied. He knows the temper of his old friend very well. He will not be able to get back the things he is sure about. If he cannot be satisfied, then he will definitely try his best to cause trouble, no matter the cost!
"You also know that I can't say a good word to your little master openly. I still have big things to do, so I can't offend Nicholas!"
But Igor said reluctantly: "I didn't stop you from doing big things, and I didn't ask you to offend Nikolai! I just asked you to help my little master a little. Isn't this okay?"
Count Rostovtsev was immediately dumbfounded. Now he had two choices before him, either to cause trouble in Austria and take Li Xiao with him, or to find a way to make up for Li Xiao.
Neither of these two choices is a good thing for him, but Igor has made it clear that if he doesn't give him face, his old friend will definitely explode.
He sighed, waved his hands helplessly and said: "Okay! Okay! I'll find a way to make up for your little master, but not now, at least until after the matter is done! How about it!"
Igor also knew not to push too hard, so he naturally took a step back. Of course, he was also curious about how Count Rostovtsev would make up for Li Xiao, but he also knew that even if he asked the other party now, he would not answer.
Soon Li Xiao, who was far away in Bucharest, received a reply from Igor, which not only let him know Nicholas I's bottom line in Austria, but also let him know that Count Rostovtsev would also cause trouble in Austria.
The important thing is to let him know that Paskovich is not a good person either.
This letter made Li Xiao feel happy and worried at once. He was happy because he knew what to do if he knew the bottom line, but he was worried that this delicious cake in Austria had attracted so many covetous people, even Rostovtsev
The count himself went to hell, how deep is the water here!
Li Xiao immediately hesitated. In such deep water, a small wave might knock his small body to the ground. Anyway, he has gained a lot of benefits in Wallachia. For the sake of safety, should he go there?
