Chapter 103: Not thick enough
The emperor's mind is the most complicated and the most difficult to guess. Especially the emperor like Nicholas I, who has a particularly heavy desire for power, is very changeable. Maybe in the first second he was still in the breeze and then in the second he frosted.
At this moment, Nicholas I's mood turned straight and it was very bad. He was a little disappointed with Grandpa Constantine, as well as his education. He felt that he did not teach the two sons well, making them too simple and naive.
why?
Because Nicholas I felt that as a qualified grandfather, faced with old churros such as Menshkov, he must either be more cunning than him, or he must be cut off and shameless. Only if one of these two items is achieved, then qualified.
Obviously, Grand Duke Constantine was unqualified. From his tangled expression of sluggishness and helplessness, it can be seen that he does not have enough cunning wisdom to solve this problem, nor does he have enough shameless face to make Menshkov uncomfortable. Instead, hesitating there, he was too disappointed.
Nicholas I used to think that Grandpa Constantine was the most like him, decisive enough, persevering, fierce enough, and popular enough. But today, that's a long way off!
Nicholas I thought that if he was young, he might not have enough wisdom to solve the problem at that time, but he had the courage to go out and paid a heavy price for Menshekov. If Menshkov played this set with him then, the cool ash would disappear in minutes.
Nicholas I was right. If it was him then, Menshekov must have hit the iron plate by playing this official slick method.
The reason is very simple. At that time, Nicholas I never thought that he would become emperor one day. From the beginning to the end, he clearly defined himself, and assisted his brother Constantine as his right hand.
For this, Nicholas I was able to cut out and shame, embarrassing Menshekov, because he was not afraid to wear shoes.
The problem is that Grand Duke Constantine is different. This boy is quite a tadpole to the throne. I feel that I still have the opportunity to be an emperor, and it is impossible to be shameless when we do things naturally.
Let's put it this way, the biggest gap between Nicholas I and Grand Duke Constantine is actually the mentality. The former has no unnecessary thoughts and is fearless, while the latter must be fearful. In short, exchanging the two fathers and sons is almost the same, and there is no difference.
Of course, now that Nicholas I has twenty years of experience in power, naturally he is much older than he was then. At that time, he might have no way to take an old churros such as Menshkov, but now he has a way. And in order to force Crown Prince Alexander to grow, he didn't mind helping Grandpa Constantine.
While Menishkov was so proud of the victory, Nicholas I cut him hard!
"Dear Alexander Sergeyevich, what did you just say?" Nicholas I asked, pretending to be confused: "What happened to the Navy? What happened? You said that you have a responsibility, Is it so serious? You say in detail that this is not a trivial matter, what happened! "
Menshkov was startled, he really did not expect that Nicholas I would come to this hand, and would make him clear in person!
[Nima, what does Lao Tzu say! 】
Suddenly, Menshkov was all over the place.
Indeed, the key to Menshekov's retreat is vagueness. It seemed that he had admitted his mistake and bowed his head, but he was actually a backhand general. But once the window paper was broken, especially Nicholas I asked so directly, Menshekov was forced to the corner.
First of all, he just confessed his mistake just now. Really doing so, just to tease Nicholas I, being dragged out of a dog is never wrong.
Second, that is, the next time he confessed his responsibility, if he said it was heavy, it was a self-digging grave. But if it's lighter, Grandpa Constantine can help "make up for the missing" and slowly make up the knife.
In this way, he would not be able to fool things into retreat.
Therefore, the old **** suddenly felt dumbfounded. He could only look at Nicholas I with a shocked expression, his throat moved and moved, but he couldn't say a word.
Nicholas I ignored him, but first glanced at Grandpa Constantine, giving him a meaningful look, as if to say: [son, see no, you have to come like this! 】
In fact, if Grandpa Konstantin had enough knowledge to pass, he could deliberately pretend to be stupid when he retired, and the effect was just as good. It's a pity that this grandfather is not good at learning black, his face is not thick enough and he has no shame to go home. It is a pity.
At this point, the atmosphere in the venue is very interesting. Different ministers have different expressions. For example, Nesher Roddie, the rubber stamp prime minister's true foreign minister, has nothing to do with his high-handedness ~ www.readwn.com ~ I don't care.
The Duke of Peter Volkonsky is interested in seeing a good show. Chernesov was somewhat worried and frightened. It is estimated that he did not understand whether Nicholas I really did not know, or did he not know, or did he really want to win Menshekov?
公 The Duke of Oldorf was a bit gloating. When Gasinsky's case was big, he was grilled on the fire at the Imperial Conference. At that time, the **** Menshkov laughed at him for being old and mediocre, and even a granddaughter couldn't figure it out. Hey, now you're out! You laugh again!
Uvarov fell into meditation. As the courage of Nicholas I, paying attention to Nicholas I's emotions and thoughts was his most important work. Otherwise, how can he figure out the ideal ideology?
Based on Uvarov's understanding of Nicholas I, the emperor should still value Meneshkov, not as if he was preparing to send the eunuchs to roll homes. And if the actions of Archduke Constantine had not been approved by Nicholas I, it would certainly not have been possible to make such a big move. Now that the emperor knows the inside story, but he pretends that he didn't know how to keep Menshekov from coming to Taiwan, what is it?
[Are there any inside stories of the court that I don't understand? 】
I wondered, Uvarov looked puzzledly at the head of the Crown Prince Alexander, if he wanted to consider from the performance of the Crown Prince. But at this moment, the expression of the Crown Prince Alexander is even more puzzled. The young Crown Prince's face is clearly written with "I don't believe it", "This is not true", "How is it possible", "Why" and so on. End of doubt.
[Doesn't the Crown Prince know? 】
Suddenly, Uvarov was taken aback, a very bad guess came to his mind, making him nervous at all times ...
