Struggle in Russia

Nicholas I was a little unhappy. He felt that Grand Duke Constantine was a little ignorant. Even if you are eager to express yourself and win over important ministers, but you, I am beating Ordorf. Is this the time for you to intervene casually? ?

Nicholas I suddenly looked uncomfortable, but since all the ministers were watching, it is better to persecute Alexander as the top priority at this moment, and find an opportunity to beat Grand Duke Constantine later.

So Nicholas I suppressed his unhappiness, and asked with a pleasant face: "Kostya has made progress? You must listen to it. Tell me, what do you find?"

The encouragement of Nicholas I encouraged Grand Duke Constantine. The poor little fat man thought that the old father was really interested in him and was planning to abandon his elders and make his younger ones, so he talked about it like a lotus flower at the moment. Perceptions of banned books and banned books repeatedly banned.

Of course, there is nothing new in these words, they are all catering to Nicholas I's mind. Talking about the importance of autocracy and the absurdity of democracy, saying Nicholas I must be called wise, in short, flattery is more than practical, nonsense is better than discussion, and it is useless.

Nicholas I had listened to this kind of nonsense nonsense too much. Even if he liked the content, he also knew that this nonsense was meaningless to solve practical problems.

To be honest, he was really disappointed, and felt that the level of Grand Duke Constantine really needed to be improved. If it wasn't necessary to praise him today, he would definitely give this little fat man a head-slap.

Gradually, Grand Duke Constantine also realized that his old father was really not interested in listening to flattery, so naturally he didn't dare to forcefully shoot him. What's more, the main purpose of his interjection was not flattery. It was a small part of the purpose to win over the Duke of Aldorf to rescue him. The most important thing was actually to flaunt his outstanding achievements in his recent work.

So the flattering was almost done, and the little fat man immediately changed the subject and said suddenly: "Father, during the process of investigating the case of Mesadov-Gerasimovich's banned books, I deeply realized that if I can't be found in the military If this cancerous tumor cannot be eradicated, the consequences will be extremely serious and the foundation of our country will be shaken.”

"So, I carried out a rectification operation specifically in the 748 regiment where the problem was found, and gathered the officers of the regiment to strictly rectify the style of work and enforce discipline...especially the second battalion and second company where the incident occurred is the key target of my work... After my rectification, the officers of the company have deeply realized their mistakes and made a deep introspection..."

While talking about Grand Duke Constantine, he took out a large stack from the file bag and handed it to Nicholas I respectfully: "This is a letter of repentance written by an officer of the company, please read it!"

At first Nicholas I lacked interest, but when Grand Duke Constantine mentioned the Second Battalion and Second Company, he suddenly realized that this is the company that the bastard is in? Could it be that the bastard was punished? Forced to bow his head and repent?

You must know that Li Xiao was so angry with him the first two times, almost the kind that caused internal injuries. Anyway, whenever he thinks of someone, he gritted his teeth and hated him. Nicholas I really wanted to eat someone's flesh and blood.

Now that I heard that Grand Duke Constantine helped beat someone and gave him a bad breath, Nicholas I was so happy that he didn't care to hide it, he took the document directly, and read it carefully page by page .

Soon, Nicholas I beamed with joy, because someone had indeed repented thoroughly in his confession, and almost begged for mercy in a humble and unscrupulous way. Nicholas I could even imagine the scene of someone humbly hugging his thigh and begging to let him go. Most of the resentment accumulated in his heart evaporated in an instant, making him feel refreshed and able to go up to the fifth floor in one go!

"good, very good!"

Nicholas I patted Li Xiao's letter of repentance, the smile on the old face couldn't be concealed, every cell and every fine hair exuded the radiance of happiness,

I was so happy that I could see the little tongue in my throat.

"Kostya, you are doing very well! It seems that you have worked very hard and lived up to my expectations... You have done very well, this kind of rectification movement is well carried out, and we must vigorously promote it! If all ministers can be like you , banned books and those dangerous and evil ideas are simply impossible to cause any damage to our country!"

Grand Duke Constantine hurriedly expressed that he did not dare to take credit for it. The reason why he was able to achieve this achievement was entirely because of the teachings of Nicholas I. He just followed Nicholas I's teachings and achieved a little bit of achievement.

Nicholas I also knew that Grand Duke Constantine's words were not true, and he was flattering, but he couldn't help being happy now. When people are happy, everything is pleasing to the eye. Naturally, he accepts all the flattering of the little fat man. up.

"Well, very good. Kostya, I hope you will continue to work hard. The future of the empire depends on young people like you!"

These words made Grand Duke Constantine overjoyed. He was so happy that he couldn't find the north, and the snot bubbles were about to come out. He seemed to have heard Nicholas I's promise. This is Chi Guoguo's express statement, right?

On the other side, Crown Prince Alexander's face was naturally even more ugly. At this moment, he was fidgeting, as if there was a grill under his buttocks, and he was the steak on the grill-torment! Torment!

Was Nicholas I the obvious hint just now? No, he deliberately said such words that seemed to be implied but had no meaning at all. This was also his strategy to continue to stimulate Alexander.

Sure enough, Alexander couldn't bear it anymore, this weak boy should have made up his mind, right?

After being happy for a while, Nicholas I told Grand Duke Constantine very comfortably and casually: "Although the main officers of the Second Battalion and Second Company have repented, the country's law is that those who have meritorious service must be rewarded and those who commit crimes must be punished, even if they are sincere. If they confessed wrongly, they should be punished... How about dismissing them from the military and exiling them to Siberia?"

You see, Nicholas I held grudges like this, and even if he sincerely repented for a small mistake, he would be punished severely. One can imagine that if Li Xiao made a big mistake and fell into his hands, his life would definitely be lost .

It's just that Nicholas I will be disappointed this time. The good son who perfectly helped him vent his anger actually made a sinful deal with someone. Grand Duke Constantine and his pigtails are in Li Xiao's hands. At this moment, he really can't Immediately cross the river and demolish the bridge.

So Grand Duke Constantine persuaded very tactfully: "Father, although these officers are indeed guilty of heinous crimes, they have sincerely repented at first, and severe punishment may make those officers who are waiting to resist. their transformation."

"Secondly, Grand Duke Andrei Konstantinovich is also in that company. The troubles he caused before still have international influence. Immediately punish him severely at this time. I am afraid that the news will not sound good, and he will become a An excuse for someone to attack us..."
