This is not the first time that the Knights of St. Andrew have publicly held an oath-taking ceremony, but this year's ceremony is definitely the most special one. Not only were there only two new knights who joined the order, but the speeches of the emperor and the grand duke were also completely different.
The enthusiasm and spring breeze of previous years did not show any hint of celebration or welcome to the new knights. Instead, they were overt and covert warnings, almost like a criticism meeting.
Such a situation left many onlookers in the audience who did not know the truth, including Monk Zhanger, confused. They did not understand what was going on with His Majesty the Emperor and the Grand Duke, who had happily welcomed the new couple in previous years. What the hell was going on?
Of course, people who understand know why. A group of princes and ministers who know the inside story frequently look at the "mastermind" who caused all this - Li Xiao. They all look at Li Xiao with the mood of watching a joke, wondering what they are facing.
A wake-up call for Nicholas I, what will this unpleasant "bastard" do?
How will Li Xiao behave? To be honest, Li Xiao was just an ordinary nobody before he traveled through time. If he didn’t have any ambitions, he would be more satisfied if he could have a wife and children. He didn’t have the unparalleled pride to defy the heavens and the earth at all. The most he was bullied was
You may scold someone in your circle of friends, or you may hide on the Internet and be a talkative person. However, little people also have their own self-esteem. If they are bullied miserably, have someone sit on their head and shit and urinate, they will also explode when they can't bear it anymore.
Just like now, Li Xiao is already filled with righteous indignation. The speeches of Nicholas I and Grand Duke Constantine have brought back the shameful memory of his predecessor. All the grievances and injustices suffered by his predecessor over the years have made him furious - not so shameless and bullying.
Human, do you really think that honest people will not jump around and curse in the street?
Suddenly Li Xiao was ready to go all out. He wanted to vent his anger on anything he said today. So when Boris ended his Oscar-winning speech, he thanked God, thanked daddy, thanked mommy, thanked seven aunts, eight aunts, and thanked eighteen poles.
After the speech of passerby A, who was unable to hit him, he walked to the center of the podium sternly, glanced coldly at the audience, and then began to speak:
“On this special evening, I would first like to thank our greatest late emperor, His Majesty Alexander I. In 1812, facing the invasion of French bandits, it was this greatest emperor and the greatest father of the nation who led us to unite and turn defeat into victory.
Without him, there would be no Russian Empire today, there would be no happy life today, and we would not be able to stand here...He is undisputedly the greatest tsar of this century, and the great achievements he established are unmatched and unmatched by future generations.
Transcendent. In this sacred, solemn and glorious moment, it is our unshirkable duty to remember this greatest Majesty. Ladies and gentlemen, please let us express our gratitude to this great father of the country for his heavenly and our great motherland.
pray!"
Li Xiao's words were like the cold wind blowing from Siberia, which made the faces of everyone present become very exciting. The faces of Nicholas I, Crown Prince Alexander and Grand Duke Constantine immediately darkened.
The reason is very simple. Before, Grand Duke Constantine boasted that he was the father of the country and the greatest tsar, but Li Xiao immediately brought up Alexander I to fight against him. He kept saying that Alexander I was the greatest and the father of the country without even mentioning it.
Nicholas I, this was clearly a slap in the face. And it was so hard that no one could say no.
Compared with Alexander I, Nicholas I really had no achievements worth mentioning. It was Alexander I who led Russia to defeat Napoleon. Nothing would have happened without Nicholas I. The latter was still a little kid who could only pee and play in the mud.
!It can be said that Russia’s international status in recent decades originated from that victory and the leadership of Alexander I. Without Alexander I, Russia would not have the status of a European power.
If Nicholas I can be considered the father of the country, then what should Alexander I be considered? The grandfather of the country and the ancestor of the country? Neither party is a heavyweight.
Of course, Li Xiao said this on purpose, just to disgust the father and son - to make you brag about yourself and make you think you are awesome. Does your face hurt now? Look, you still have the nerve to mention the greatest and self-proclaimed ones.
The founding fathers did not.
The faces of Nicholas I, father and son were very ugly, as gloomy as if it was going to rain. But they could not fall out because Alexander I and that great victory were too important to Russia, even if twenty or thirty years had passed.
, but all Russians cannot forget that war, and are full of respect for the heroes in that war. No one dares to say that Alexander I and the heroes who won that victory are not great enough, even if they have the power to do so
Neither could Nicholas I of Jiuding.
Li Xiao had more to say than that. He could feel the resentment deep in his predecessor's soul. That kind of silent anger was like gasoline, it started to burn when it was touched by sparks. In the past ten years, his predecessor never wanted to vent or accuse.
, and today’s opportunity couldn’t be more suitable.
Now that you've broken your heart, don't be reserved and just roll up your sleeves and get started!
Li Xiao continued: "Secondly, I would like to thank my father, Grand Duke Konstantin Pavlovich, and my mother, Princess Johanna Gruzinskavovich. They gave me life. Without them, I would
It is impossible to stand here, and it is impossible to join the Knights of St. Andre. I especially want to thank my mother, who paid the price of her life for my birth. This is the greatest maternal love, and she is also the greatest mother. I
I will always be proud of having such a mother. I know that they can see me in heaven and be happy for my achievements. They will also bless and bless me to move forward. This will make me full of fighting spirit and strength.
Don’t be afraid of any challenge until you defeat all your enemies!”
If Li Xiao's mention of Alexander I's great achievements before only made Nicholas I and his son unhappy, then mentioning his parents now makes them a little angry. In their eyes, the Grand Duke and Duchess are a shame and cannot be mentioned.
Taboos are best forgotten and cast aside by the world. But Li Xiao not only mentioned it, but also thanked them openly and said that his mother was great. This was simply provoking.
For a moment, Nicholas I wanted to rush up to stop Li Xiao from continuing to speak, and wanted to use his big mouth to slap this disobedient and careless nephew. But the occasion in front of him was inappropriate. There were too many eyes looking at him.
If he really does this, tomorrow he will become the laughing stock of the European royal family and disgrace his grandma's family. This is absolutely unacceptable to Nicholas I, who is obsessed with face, so he can only quietly luck out.
Thinking about how to teach someone a lesson after the ceremony.
But Li Xiao hasn’t finished speaking yet! What we just had was the appetizer, and the main course is yet to come!
