Struggle in Russia

Indeed, it doesn't matter at all who asks Li Xiao for the manuscript. What matters is who Li Xiao speaks for. As long as he speaks for Grand Duke Constantine, that is the evidence of Grand Duke Constantine.

And this is the heart of old Adlerberg's conspiracy. He asked the queen to make an appointment just to ensure that Li Xiao would definitely speak for Grand Duke Constantine's naval steamship plan.

Little Adlerberg admired such meticulous thinking, and he praised: "Father, you have caught such a small loophole. Grand Duke Constantine is not wronged at all for losing. He met It is normal for the most powerful opponent to be defeated!"

Old Adlerberg laughed again, the smile and laughter made little Adlerberg a little scared, he didn't understand why his old man laughed so sinisterly, it made him shudder a little, this smile was too It means a lot!

"Who told you that I caught this loophole?" Old Adlerberg asked calmly.

Little Adlerberg was amazed: "Is there any expert? Who is it?"

Old Adlerberg sighed: "Son, you still need to work hard, so you won't be able to secure your position in the future. What I meant just now is: Who told you that I discovered this loophole? Could it be that I didn't Made it?"

Little Adlerberg was stunned. He frantically used his brain, trying to straighten out the relationship: Grand Duke Constantine's shipbuilding plan was strongly attacked by Sir William Symonds, Grand Duke Constantine was exhausted, and then the old man Father persuaded the queen to find Li Xiao as a reinforcement for Grand Duke Constantine, and finally sat down as Grand Duke Constantine's...

Slower!

Little Adlerberg suddenly thought, where did it all start? Isn't it the attack of Sir William Symonds?

Could it be?

Old Adlerberg nodded with satisfaction: "Fortunately, your brain reaction is quite fast. That's right, that Sir William Symonds' attack was arranged by me. To be honest, it was very easy, almost nothing. It costs a few dollars, a few hundred pounds, and let him make a move, the effect is very good, right?"

Little Adlerberg was really shocked. He really didn't expect Sir William Symonds to be a black gunman bought by his old man. This trick is really wonderful and wonderful. Why didn't he think of this move?

Old Adlerberg replied complacently: "I told you a long time ago, when you hit a snake, you hit seven inches. When you catch a thief, you catch the king first. When you hit the enemy, you have to hit his weak spot. One hit will kill you!"

"Where is the biggest problem with Grand Duke Constantine? It is his cooperation with that bastard Grand Duke. Although he thought he was hiding it very well, he thought no one would notice. He also kept it from me for a while, but I still don't believe in this world. There are so many coincidences that he went to the 748 regiment by such a coincidence, and by such a coincidence, he bumped into Second Lieutenant Gerasimovich spreading prohibited books?"

"It's so coincidental to crack it in one fell swoop, and then beat that bastard grand duke logically? Can you force that bastard grand duke to write a letter of repentance?"

"Haha, does he really think I'm an idiot? How can that rotten egg of his be able to do things that even Aldorf can't do? If you really think that outsiders tout their brother as the highest quality prince in all ages, that's really true gone?"

"It's just a joke. He's just a brat. Without His Majesty's bonus, he's nothing! He's not much better than those second-generation ancestors in St. Petersburg! He can do so perfectly, haha, I'm sorry, I really think us Are people worthless!"

Little Adlerberg was stunned, it was the first time he had seen such a gaffe father. It can be seen that the old man is very angry with Grand Duke Constantine. The obvious contempt and ridicule shows that the old man is so disdainful to Grand Duke Constantine.

To be honest, this is very old Adlerberg. The old man's style has always been cautious, restrained and restrained. This kind of ostentatious outburst is very old, very rare!

It seemed that the old man was complaining for himself and his fellow veterans, helping them mock Duke Constantine and those young dignitaries who were touted.

As if pointing at the nose of Grand Duke Constantine and sneered:

"Without your father, you're a piece of shit!"

Old Adlerberg really had such an idea. Although these old guys of the older generation are not particularly harmonious in order to fight for power, whether it is Menshikov, Ordorf or others, they all rely on each other step by step. With their own efforts to reach the pinnacle of power.

And why can Grand Duke Constantine sit with them for a meeting, and why can he sit and discuss with them. Is it really because he is young and promising?

Shit!

In Old Adlerberg's view, Grand Duke Constantine was neither a genius nor capable, and his greed was not much less than those stupid beetles. The reason why he is praised and praised is because he has a good father.

But now such a guy really thinks of himself as a person, and he really doesn't take these old guys who have climbed up step by step seriously. The old Adlerberg must educate him well, let him know what it means to respect the elders!

To put it bluntly, this time, the decisive move to cheat Grand Duke Constantine was not entirely to help Crown Prince Alexander win a round, but to declare war on Grand Duke Constantine, but to slap him in the face openly to let him know what the old courtier was. How powerful.

It is even better for Grand Duke Constantine to take it easy in the future, and it is best to give them a little more respect for these old guys. Otherwise, these old ministers would dig a hole in a few minutes and make him doubt his life.

Little Adlerberg didn't dare to speak out. He guessed what the old father was thinking. He was amused by the old man's vindictiveness but also terrified at the same time. The old man's move not only slapped Grand Duke Constantine in the face, but also slapped them in the face of the younger generation.

Little Adlerberg was really a little scared, and only then did he realize that his so-called talent and so-called scheming were probably as ridiculous as a child's play in the eyes of the old man. The old man's combination of punches today is really something he can't handle.

Then those old guys who are of the same generation as the old man, such as the Duke of Ordorf, such as the Prime Minister Nesselrode, such as Peter Volkonsky, and even Menshko who was punished badly by the Grand Duke Constantine Husband, they are really a bunch of old fools, can they really be dealt with casually?

Little Adlerberg fell into deep thought, feeling terrified of his previous arrogance. Fortunately, he didn't show off like Grand Duke Constantine, otherwise he might be the one who was taught by the old minister.

Thinking of this, little Adlerberg glanced at his old father in fear. The enthusiasm on the old man's face had faded away, replaced by a strange solemnity...
