Chapter 447: Several families are happy and some are sad (1)
This imperial meeting was a new one for Count Rostovtsev. He didn't know about Prince Alexander Gorchakov's letter, but he saw the letter and noticed that Nicholas I was shaken.
After that, he immediately realized that the opportunity had come!
Before, he arranged for Dmitry Milyutin to persuade Crown Prince Alexander to make a proposal, which was indeed a foreshadowing. However, according to his original plan, this foreshadowing would still need to settle for a period of time, and would only be launched after he had prepared the back-up plan.
effective.
But who would have thought that a letter from Duke Alexander Gorchakov would make all the backup plans he had prepared completely meaningless. This letter not only led to the war in the Caucasus faster, but also had a more ideal effect. For a moment, he doubted
Have you and Prince Alexander Gorchakov agreed on a plan to play together?
Of course, this was a joke. But Count Rostovtsev was very satisfied with the effect and further successfully pressured Neserrodie. Looking at the bitter look on the old guy's face, one can imagine how angry and helpless he is now.
It can almost be said that his bottom line has been touched. As long as one more feather is added, the old guy will explode. However, there is no need to rush, at least he cannot expose himself yet.
Yes, Count Rostovtsev was a little impatient when his two pig teammates Menshikov and Chernyshev were holding him back. Such a great opportunity was almost ruined by these two idiots.
He almost couldn't hold himself back and prepared to kick them out personally. Fortunately, Ordov and Uvarov were strong enough and successfully suppressed these two idiots, saving him a lot of trouble.
Count Rostovtsev knew that if he played today, it would be more difficult to press Neserrodie later on. This old guy was too alert. Once he made a move, he would definitely be on guard against him later on.
But now he is still hiding in the dark, with unclear political leanings. This identity can play an unexpected role at critical moments, and temporarily distancing himself from the liberal-leaning Duke Alexander Gorchakov is also conducive to paralysis.
Domestic conservatives.
Of course, Count Rostovtsev was also very interested in this appropriate letter from Prince Alexander Gorchakov, because it came too timely and strangely. After all these years, he had been very interested in Alexander Gorchakov.
From what the Duke understands, this Duke seems to be a little too forceful now, and there must be something wrong here.
However, with Count Rostovtsev's IQ, he can probably guess the context of the matter after just a little thought. A certain bastard grand duke has a very good relationship with the duke's son. Maybe there must be some connection in private.
, maybe it was the Grand Duke who gave Prince Alexander Gorchakov the idea!
Count Rostovtsev had a strange feeling when he thought of a certain bastard grand duke. He felt that the speed of someone's growth was really amazing. He was still unknown in St. Petersburg before, but once he left this quagmire, he became successful.
After the ground blended into the vast sea of people, its power increased day by day.
Looking at Wallachia, Austria and today's events, there are shadows of the activities of a certain Grand Duke behind them. This guy's ability to make trouble is really top-notch. Even Count Rostovtsev had to take a high look.
Got it!
Count Rostovtsev felt more and more that a chess piece he dropped in his spare time had the effect of a miracle. If a certain bastard grand duke can guarantee that he will continue to have such magical performance, he will not mind investing more resources to make it possible.
Get a bigger stage to show your self-worth!
The imperial meeting is over, some are happy and some are sad, but for Russia, this meeting seems to be a good one. At least the main people in power, including Nicholas I, are satisfied and are looking forward to the next performance of the Russian army.
Especially Crown Prince Alexander. He almost ran out and left the Winter Palace directly. On the carriage, he couldn't hold back his excitement and started cheering:
"Go and notify Alexander Ivanovich and Dmitri Alexeevich immediately, tell them...forget it, we will go directly to their mansion!"
Crown Prince Alexander was so happy that he gave Baryatinsky and Dmitri Milyutin higher courtesy than ever before, and decided to greet these two heroes in person!
"Gentlemen, your suggestion has been approved by the Imperial Council. His Majesty has decided to appoint you Alexander Ivanovich as the commander-in-chief of the Caucasus Army. Soon, you can go to rescue the Armenian brothers!"
Crown Prince Alexander shouted enthusiastically, leaving Baryatinsky and Dmitri Milyutin who had just been called out confused. However, this confusion was quickly overwhelmed by ecstasy, and Baryatinsky
Ji almost jumped with joy. This opportunity was too rare for him!
Dmitry Milyutin was naturally overjoyed. Although he did not benefit directly from this, as long as Baryatinsky left, he would definitely have the opportunity to get closer to Crown Prince Alexander, which is more worthwhile than obtaining command power.
expect.
Looking at the ecstatic Milyuting, Crown Prince Alexander suddenly felt that this boring gourd was becoming more and more cute. He always thought this person was too boring before, but now it seems that this loyalty to him is really valuable!
Yes, Milyutin's joy is a sign of loyalty and loyalty in the eyes of Crown Prince Alexander. If not, as the original person of the plan, he has no command rights at all. Why can't he be so happy?
Apart from loyalty and loyalty, how else can one explain such dedication?
No emperor does not like loyal ministers. Although Crown Prince Alexander is not an emperor yet, he also likes loyal ministers. He increasingly feels that Milyuting is a special talent and should treat this loyal minister well!
Dmitry Milyutin never expected that his performance would be unexpected, because the reason for his happiness was not loyalty, but something that was not obvious to outsiders. He felt that Count Rostovtsev was too awesome.
, he got the matter done without making a fuss, and his status with Crown Prince Alexander was immediately substantially improved. Cooperating with this count was indeed the right thing to do.
The three monarchs and ministers gathered together with joy that they only knew. The scene was very harmonious, especially when they got down to business and started discussing how to behave more beautifully in the Caucasus. Dmitry Milyutin's performance was even more brilliant.
Eyes, because what he is best at is planning and staff work, these tasks fell into his hands, so well-organized, not only stunned Crown Prince Alexander, but also made Baryatinsky wish to take him away
