Crown Prince Alexander's words immediately chilled the elder Adlerberg, because he had previously thought that the Crown Prince liked the younger Adlerberg more and would sell him some face. But this style of speaking seemed awkward to him, okay?
good.
[Could it be that this is really the death of our father and son!]
At this moment, old Adlerberg couldn't help but lament in his heart, because if Crown Prince Alexander was unwilling to help, then his only last option was to go to the queen for help.
Although he was very dignified in front of the Queen, he also knew that Queen Alexandra Feodorovna was not particularly willing to interfere in political affairs, because this Queen looked like a quail who usually had no desires or desires.
Looks like that, but in fact, he cares about his status more than anything else.
In order to keep her position as empress, and to keep her status in the heart of Nicholas I, this woman was extremely tolerant, turning a blind eye to her husband's promiscuity, and even taking care of those who seduced her husband.
woman and illegitimate child.
So the queen could do anything, but there was one thing she would definitely not do - making Nicholas I unhappy. She would never do anything that might make Nicholas I unhappy.
This includes intervening in political affairs.
It's not that Alexandra really doesn't have any political ambitions, but she knows very well that Nicholas I has zero tolerance for this, and he is determined not to allow Russia to have another Catherine the Great.
So if it's something else, it might be okay to go to the queen, but if you expect the queen to help intercede and make things right, it's really going to take a lot of face.
Although old Adlerberg has this kind of face, he can indeed persuade the queen to help, but the price is too heavy. Because once he does this, it means that the many years of friendship between him and the queen are over.
.To the queen, he is no longer a friend but a courtier.
Such an opportunity is so precious that old Adler originally reserved it for critical moments, because it was really a life-saving opportunity. But when he thought that his only hope after struggling for so long was little Adler.
As for Lebesgue, if this boy dies, the family will not be able to improve for at least the next thirty years.
There are precedents in Russia for a political family that fell down for thirty years and then wants to come back and create glory again. For example, Menshikov, whose grandfather fell during the era of Catherine I, but now that he is
The whole generation started to tremble again.
It's just that not all families are as lucky as Menshikov. More established families have fallen and never improved at all. Look at the poor Dukes in Moscow. Which of them was not a well-known family back then?
No!
Even those dukes are like this, not to mention that the Adlerberg family is just a count. It may be harder than climbing to the sky to turn over!
Therefore, old Adlerbeg knew very well that once he fell this time, Adlerbeg would be completely ruined, so even if there was only one chance to ask Queen Alexandra for help, he could only endure the pain.
Used it!
Of course, the old fox was extremely heartbroken when he used it. He remembered Duke Mikhail, Alexey, Kogelniceanu and the unwilling Crown Prince Alexander forever. He vowed that he would do it whenever he had the chance again.
Make these people pay the price!
Dmitry Milyutin whispered to Count Rostovtsev: "That old guy's expression is ugly!"
Count Rostovtsev just raised his head and glanced out the window. Through the window, he could see old Adlerberg getting into his carriage in a daze. His always straight spine also bent, as if he had aged in an instant.
Twenty years old.
"Really?" Count Rostovtsev smiled slightly and said coldly: "This is not enough! I would rather see him lose his mind. Where are we now!"
Dmitry Milyutin was a little confused as to why Count Rostovtsev specifically targeted the old Adlerberg, who didn’t seem to be doing much harm. This old man was not top-notch at all, but was just a deputy palace official.
Minister, his status is not high at all, and he does more of pimping. What is so scary about such a person!
"Do you think I am making a fuss out of a molehill?" asked Count Rostovtsev.
Dmitri coughed dryly. He really felt that Count Rostovtsev had made a fuss out of a molehill. Not only did he personally ruin the future of little Adlerberg in front of Nicholas I, but he also specifically asked him to be with Crown Prince Alexander.
Please tell the crown prince not to help old Adlerberg.
Such a series of punches forced old Adlerberg to use his last trump card to save his life. To be honest, Dmitri really didn't think this old man deserved to be taken so seriously.
"Because you don't know how difficult this old guy is!" Count Rostovtsev suddenly said, "I have seen very clearly next to His Majesty in the Winter Palace over the years, what are the personalities and tendencies of all these ministers?
I know all the methods you use!"
Seeing that Count Rostovtsev suddenly became serious, Dmitri knew that what he was about to say might be of great importance, so he immediately pricked up his ears and listened carefully.
"As Prime Minister Neserrode, tell me how conservative he is. He is indeed conservative, but if you change the tsar, if that tsar is more liberal, then he will also be liberal!"
"Menshikov, even though he is getting more and more old and fatuous, he seems to be a representative of conservatives, but his conservatism is more to cater to His Majesty, because His Majesty is inherently conservative. If Your Majesty wants to be enlightened, then
He will be enlightened!"
"Duke Ordorf, he is a smart and capable man. He knows what he can and cannot do, and he will do whatever he meets with his master. He has this consciousness!"
"Prince Chernyshev, well, if this wanderer hadn't been blessed by his ancestors, he certainly wouldn't have been able to be the Minister of War. In fact, this man is also a master who adapts to the changing circumstances. If he changes the emperor, he will change everything!
"
The more Dmitry listened, the more solemn he became, because this was Count Rostovtsev commenting on the ministers in the court. He could clearly tell what kind of people these ministers were. This information was really too precious.
It can be said that it is the accumulation and essence of the count's decades of official career.
"For those of us who want to make changes, there are actually not many enemies that we need to pay attention to. To be honest, there are only a few people. Among these people, the one who needs to pay attention the most is Uvarov.
