Struggle in Russia

Chapter 111: 2 heavy days



How long has Grandpa Constantine not been so happy now? Is it two years a year or three years? Or five or six years?

He seriously thought back. The last time he was so happy, he and Nicholas I went to visit Prussia to visit relatives. He performed well in front of his grandfather and was well received.

He remembers that day he was the star of the audience, and Alexander was the ugly duckling in the corner. His beloved father kissed him fiercely that day, telling him to be proud of him.

After that day, no matter how good or outstanding he behaved, it would be hard to get similar praise. Even if he is obviously better than Alexander, Alexander will always be the focus in the country. Even if he is just an ugly duck, there will be thousands of fanciers around him in various fancy touts.

But he, the best Archduke Constantine, no matter how good he is, is only the foil of Alexander, just green leaves.

Grand Duke Constantine hated this feeling, and even hated the injustice of God. Can he be an emperor only by birth?

Why must he be the crown prince a few years earlier? What is his point of view on the theory of ability and courage? Just because he was born a few years earlier? On what basis! !!

The raging anger and resentment once again came to the heart of Grandpa Constantine, adding a little bit to his rounded face. Even Nicholas Milyuting, who was sitting opposite him, could see that the granddaughter's mood was very unstable, as if being greatly stimulated.

Omi Liuting can probably guess what stimulated Grandpa Constantine. He knows the prince's ambitions, and although he does not particularly agree with his assertion of the Crown Prince Alexander, as far as Mi Liuting is concerned, the prince is still very outstanding and capable, and he is willing to serve the grand duke.

But fate is really hard to say, not everything can be smoothed by hard work. Life is more important in countries that are more backward. For example, in Russia, a good life means that the starting point and the ending point are completely different, and that manpower cannot be changed.

Nicolas Milyuting sighed secretly, regretted Grand Duke Constantine, and at the same time felt sorry for his career and ambition-it is really difficult, hard!

With this devotional effort, Archduke Constantine asked back from ecstasy and asked: "Dear Nicholas, has Earl Rostovtsev made a wrong judgment, and his father has made a fundamental change. The old **** has been disappointed and extremely dissatisfied with Alexander. From his attitude today, he can see that otherwise he would not be able to support me so, what do you say? "

Nicolas Milyuting was silent because the results of today's imperial conference were so different and dazzling. Menshkov was scolded in public by Nicholas I, and he was temporarily suspended from cultivation, while Mesadoff and the **** were handed over to Ordorf to continue the investigation.

Nicholas I also said on the spot that he would never condone any problems, and no one should make jokes about the cornerstones of the empire, and must not neglect his duties and fool things.

缅 Anyway, when Meneshkov came out of the Winter Palace, he was as dead as a face, as if he was more than an hour old. The prince, who had a sharp-edged and high-voiced voice, was gone, and there was only one Oldman who had concealed Shan's heart.

Sumenshkov's suspension was tantamount to suppressing the boulder crushed on the head of Archduke Constantine. Without the obstruction of Menshekov, the Admiralty can almost be said to be headed by Archduke Constantine. For His Majesty the Lord, who has been suppressed for a long time, there is a sense of joy to see the clouds.

Nicolas Milyuting is also happy that this is indeed a crucial victory. It severely struck the arrogance of Menshkov and greatly increased the right of Grand Constantine to speak in the Admiralty.

For their reformists, it was an unprecedented victory. In the future, after Grand Duke Constantine presided over the Admiralty, some reform measures could first be implemented in the Navy and then gradually spread outward.

I thought that Nicholas Milyuting was excited here too, and he couldn't help but do it immediately. It's just that he is a bit sensible and not optimistic enough to forget his last name. Vaguely, he even feels uneasy. He always feels that things should not go so smoothly. He felt it necessary to remind Grand Duke Constantine not to carelessly lose Jingzhou.

But Grand Duke Constantine was completely overwhelmed by ecstasy at this time. No matter how mature and sophisticated he has been before, in the final analysis, he is just a hairy guy just 20 years old. Easy to tilt his tail, easy to forget, easy to forget, so he immediately floated.

I saw Grand Duke Constantine blushing like a restless monkey, shouting in a spirited voice: "Nothing wrong, my father did change his mind. He was disappointed with Alexander, and old-fashioned like Menshkov The incompetent waste is also disappointed! He knows that the future of the Empire is as energetic as me! "

我们 "We made a mistake! Too conservative! Otherwise, today Menshekov will not just be suspended ~ www.readwn.com ~ but has been removed from office, maybe I am now the Minister of the Navy!"

He said that Grand Duke Constantine showed a regretful and unhappy expression while waiting for Nicholas Milyuting to speak, and he yelled:

"Earl Rostovtsev is also old, can't keep up with the changes in the situation, too conservative and intimidating ... our steps can be stepped up, we can chase after victory! We must be more decisive and sharp!

Nicholas Milyutin was stunned, looking at his face flushed like Drunk Constantine, and he felt worse and worse ...

"It's finished! Everything is finished! I'm finished!"

Unlike the ecstatic Archduke Constantine, there is sadness over Crown Prince Alexander. After the imperial conference, the crown prince almost fainted. When he returned to his dormitory, he was already in tears and scared the crown prince, Maria Alexandrovna. Can't take care of the eldest son Nicholas Alexandrovich who had fallen and wept and hurried to step forward to see what happened.

"My dear, what happened? What is it?"

The terrified Maria was completely overwhelmed with tears in her tearful husband. The last time Alexander cried so much was when his sister Alexandra died. Is someone dead at home again?

But the Crown Prince Alexander was sobbing completely, there was no way to dispel the Crown Princess. The last two could only cry together, and when Zhukovsky, Old Adlerberg, and Baryatinski came in, they saw the family of the Crown Prince crying together ...
