Duke Mikhail looked at little Adlerberg calmly, as if he was looking at a rabbit that was about to be shot to death with a shotgun. It cannot be said that he was full of disdain. In short, it was a combination of contempt and contempt.
This look made little Adlerberg very uncomfortable. He really wanted to have a good chat with Duke Mikhail and let him know that he, little Adlerberg, was also the number one person.
Fortunately, he has not completely gone to his head and knows that he is indeed not qualified to act as a senior in front of Duke Mikhail. His status as a special envoy can only scare those Wallachians. For Duke Mikhail,
It's totally worthless.
Duke Mikhail replied calmly: "As a special envoy, of course you have the right to reflect what you see and hear. No one can interfere with this. But as a veteran who knows Wallachia and Count Speransky,
I also have the right to report to His Majesty what I see and hear."
This was said as if it had not been said before. Most people had no idea what Duke Mikhail meant. But little Adlerberg was not an ordinary person. He heard what Duke Mikhail meant. The Duke understood.
Tell him without any doubt: "I fully support Count Speransky. Do you think Nicholas I listens to you, the so-called special envoy, or to me?"
Also, don’t worry, Prince Mikhail has the second half of his sentence!
Duke Mikhail paused for a moment and then said: "In addition, I will also report to Your Majesty the actions of your envoy in Wallachia, as well as your actions that exceed your authority and have dealings with the enemies of the empire."
Please forgive me for explaining this, this is also my duty as a veteran!"
Duke Mikhail spoke like a veteran. He looked like he was being modest, but in fact he was sarcastically sarcastic towards little Adlerberg. He slapped him in the face and mocked: "Get out of here, envoy!
What a bullshit envoy!"
Little Adlerberg's face turned green and red, because his action to persuade Duke Mikhail failed completely, or it was completely counterproductive. The other party not only supported Alexey, but even
In turn, he threatened him. To put it mildly, he was a bit humiliating himself.
"This old bastard!"
After coming out, little Adlerberg was furious because he knew very well that this time he was kicking on an iron plate. Without the support of Duke Mikhail, he could beat Alek in front of Nicholas I.
Xie's small report is meaningless even if it is echoed by a group of Wallachian nobles.
"Gather relevant information for me. I want to see how much benefit this bastard Alexei has given them!"
Little Adlerberg immediately realized the crux of the problem. Although he knew that even if he found the relevant evidence, he would not be able to do anything to Duke Mikhail and Alexei, but he felt that he had collected the relevant evidence in advance and waited.
It would also be a good idea to use it to add insult to injury when Prince Mikhail and Alexei are unlucky in the future.
He is indeed much more sophisticated than Alexei in this regard. After all, the father and son are good at playing tricks. But, he has no chance at all, because neither Duke Mikhail nor Alexei
He will let him go and give him a fatal blow first.
Let’s talk about Duke Mikhail first. After little Adlerberg left, the Duke’s deputy and chief of staff, Lieutenant General Wittgenstein of the Artillery, asked: “Duke, this little fox is very dishonest! I don’t think he is honest.
I haven’t given up completely!”
Duke Mikhail snorted coldly: "Of course he has no intention of giving up. He and his father have the same virtues and like to play dirty tricks. If I am not wrong, he may even hate me now!"
Wittgenstein chuckled and said: "Then we have to give him a good dose of medicine, lest they and his son really think that we are easy to bully!"
Duke Mikhail also laughed: "Of course, I will write a letter later to report to Your Majesty in detail the actions of his special envoy after arriving in Wallachia, so as to strike first!"
After a pause, he added: "If I'm not wrong, our Count Speransky is probably plotting to give him a fatal blow, and the Grand Duke Kogelniceanu should have been bribed by him.
?As long as the Grand Duke is consistent with us, His Majesty will never believe every word of that little fox!"
Wittgenstein nodded and said: "As far as I know, the Grand Duke received a lot of benefits from His Excellency the Governor yesterday, so there should be no problem!"
Duke Mikhail shook his head and said: "These young people now are really amazing! If old Count Speransky had been half as good as his son, he would not have been exiled!"
Duke Mikhail was a witness to the ups and downs of the old Speransky. He felt that if the old Speransky could unite people like Alexey, he would not be left alone in the end. Politically speaking,
What they were most afraid of was old Speransky, a "stick man" who would do whatever he wanted just because he had the emperor's favor. As a result, the whole family would be killed as soon as the emperor died. In other words, old Speransky's reputation was too high, so his enemies did not dare to do anything too shady.
, otherwise the way he does it will really lead to failure.
"By the way, keep an eye on me more while I'm not in Bucharest. If this special envoy really doesn't understand the situation and wants to do whatever he wants, he must be stopped as soon as possible. We can't let him ruin our good deeds!"
Wittgenstein was a little surprised, because this time little Adlerberg made it clear that he was going for Alexei. In fact, strictly speaking, the conflict with Duke Mikhail was not particularly direct. He originally thought
The Duke took advantage of Alexei and was short-handed, but now it seems that the reason may not be that simple.
Seemingly seeing Wittgenstein's doubts, Duke Mikhail smiled and explained: "Paskovich suffered another defeat. It is said that he was made disgraced because the supplies did not keep up. Now our regiment
All supplies depend on Count Speransky. If you want to achieve greater success in Hungary, you must give him more face!"
In fact, what Duke Mikhail said is not entirely true. Although he had this consideration in giving Alexei face, it was not the most critical reason. The most fundamental reason was that Wallachia's interests were too great.
, had received so many benefits, it would be unjustifiable if he really did nothing. In addition, Duke Alexander also wrote to him, telling him what Li Xiao had done in Prussia before.
Duke Alexander repeatedly praised Li Xiao's excellence and told him to build a good relationship with Li Xiao and his team. This would not only gain a group of capable young people, but also help Leonid keep these good friends.
With Duke Alexander's advice and Alexei's actions being really generous, do you think Duke Mikhail will not go to any lengths?
