The atmosphere in the conference room was stagnant again. All the ministers could see that Nicholas I was very unhappy. His violent temper could break out at any time. This made them worried about Crown Prince Alexander and worried about this.
The poor crown prince was once again scolded to the point where he lost all self-confidence and burst into tears.
"Do you really think so?" Nicholas I asked with a gloomy expression.
In the past, Crown Prince Alexander would have been frightened and overwhelmed, but this time I don’t know whether he was brave enough or frightened, and he calmly replied: "Yes, father, I have been thinking about the candidate these days.
After all, the government and the public are discussing this issue a lot, so it is very important to find a suitable candidate as soon as possible to stabilize people's hearts. From the overall situation, Count Speransky is indeed more suitable than Mr. Adlerberg. Taking into account all aspects, I think that appointing Speransky
Count Perlansky is a fitting governor of Wallachia."
These reasons are nothing new, and they cannot explain Crown Prince Alexander's sudden change of heart. However, his calm and unhurried attitude just now satisfied Nicholas I: Originally, as a prince, you must have the dignity and temperament of a prince, even if the mountain collapses.
You have to be calm and calm in front of you. What does it feel like to pee after being yelled at by your own father?
Today, Crown Prince Alexander was able to remain calm under pressure. This was rare, especially the confidence on his face. This was unprecedented. Nicholas I liked such energetic children, even if this
The answer is not particularly satisfying but I am happy!
Nicholas I nodded with satisfaction and said: "Very good, what about you? Tell me your opinions!"
While talking about Nicholas I, he looked around at everyone. At this time, everyone's expressions became more interesting. The old Adlerberg, who had previously thought he was a winner, looked helpless, his head drooped and did not speak. Menshikov and
Chernyshev looked constipated and speechless. It was obvious that they were very depressed.
Why are you so depressed? The reason is very simple. Do you think they support little Adlerberg without expecting anything in return? Obviously old Adlerberg is promising huge profits, otherwise how could they be so active?
Now that the cooked duck has flown away, do you think they are depressed? Of course, the most depressing thing is that it was the young master, Crown Prince Alexander, who made the duck fly away. This makes them unable to vent their complaints even if they have a lot of complaints.
The only happy person in the conference room was probably Prince Peter Volkonsky. He looked at old Adlerberg with a smile, his old face seemed to be blooming. It was obvious that this guy was very happy.
He kept watching old Adlerberg's jokes. Not surprisingly, after the meeting, he would personally block the door to shame old Adlerberg into letting out a bad breath!
Of course, everyone's expressions were an indirect way for Nicholas I to understand Crown Prince Alexander's change of heart. He only needed to glance at them to know that these people were not the force behind Crown Prince Alexander's change of heart.
Nicholas I is very curious now? He wants to know who convinced Crown Prince Alexander? And why did Crown Prince Alexander suddenly become confident? If we don’t understand these two mysteries, why is he not interested in meeting his mistress?
After the meeting, Nicholas I couldn’t wait to leave Crown Prince Alexander and asked him on the spot: “Why did you abandon little Adlerberg? Tell me the truth!”
Crown Prince Alexander was still a little uneasy when he was left behind. But after hearing Nicholas I’s question, he breathed a sigh of relief and answered honestly: “Count Rostovtsev found me this morning. Talk to me in detail.
Asked this question, he told me that you still admire Count Speransky more? Do you think Count Speransky is more suitable? The count convinced me completely with his reason and emotion, so I changed my mind."
Nicholas I nodded suddenly. He knew that there must be something famous here, but it would not be surprising if Count Rostovtsev came forward to make it happen.
Of course, there are two opinions on this? The main reason why Nicholas I was not surprised or angry was that the reasons given by the Crown Prince made him feel comfortable under pressure? Because according to his explanation, Count Rostovtsev was completely fulfilling the will of the emperor.
Instead of intervening for his own benefit. Didn't he hear the pressured crown prince say that Count Rostovtsev told him that Nicholas I admired Count Speransky more?
It is conceivable that if Nicholas I admired little Adlerberg more, then Count Rostovtsev would definitely persuade Crown Prince Alexander to support little Adlerberg.
This is what a loyal minister does when he shares his worries with his father. He is a very loyal minister! Do you like the loyal minister Nicholas I the most? Especially a loyal minister like Count Rostovtsev who takes the initiative to share the worries of his father and his emperor without showing off his merits at all.
? He just liked it more.
On the contrary, look at Menshikov, look at Chernyshev? Especially if you look at the old Adlerbeg, you all know that your father does not like to let the little Adlerbeg be Vlach
Governor Ya? But he has no understanding of your father? He refuses to give in or say anything? He is getting more and more enthusiastic. He is simply a wolf-hearted person!
Thinking of Count Rostovtsev's loyalty and benefits, and then looking at old Adlerberg's cunning and cunning, I am afraid of comparing goods!
Anyway, Nicholas I hated old Adlerberg more and more. If it weren't for this guy's irreplaceable pimping skills, and if the queen hadn't always said good things about him, Nicholas I would have wanted to kill him right away.
Let the old fox taste the wrath of the emperor.
Even so, he also explained to Crown Prince Alexander: "It's very good that you can understand my father's difficulties and take the initiative to share my worries. You are already an adult. You should consider the overall situation when doing things. Don't be confused by a group of villains and easily
You should know very well what level little Adlerberg is, is he the material to be the Governor?"
Although Crown Prince Alexander was taught a lesson, he was not as nervous as when he was taught a lesson in the past, because Nicholas I's tone was unusually kind this time. It was not so much a lesson to him as a warning from his old father. Such a warm tone
Nicholas I really had very little success in his adult life.
This also made Crown Prince Alexander admire Count Rostovtsev even more. He was glad that he listened to the Count's advice. Otherwise, if you listened to Nicholas I, even if little Adlerberg became Vlach
Governor Ya, I guess I will have to take care of him later.
He is really afraid of comparing goods. When he thought of old Adlerberg's performance and compared it with Count Rostovtsev's, Crown Prince Alexander felt that his last advice was very right: "Little Adlerberg is doing it."
Materials for serious affairs? Like me, he is best at catering to your Majesty's preferences. From now on, he will not listen to their father and son for serious matters!"
