Struggle in Russia

Nikolai Milutin left in fear. He had to immediately warn Grand Duke Constantine. That foolish Grand Duke didn't know that disaster was coming and was still blindly optimistic. But from now on, he probably will be a lot more honest, and no longer dare to underestimate the old courtiers who came over in 1825.

"Just let that little fat man go?" Old Igor asked angrily.

Old Igor was so angry at the insidiousness and despicableness of Grand Duke Konstantin. Before he saw his little master, he helped that little fat man so much, but this bastard actually beat him up with revenge, he is really a piece of scum.

Count Rostovtsev asked with a smile: "Why not?"

Old Igor said angrily: "No matter what, we must teach him a profound lesson, so that he will never dare to do anything wrong again!"

Count Rostovtsev said with a smile: "Old man, I think the lesson this time has made him unforgettable."

Old Igor frowned and asked: "Is there? Why do I think he is just being scolded, how deep can it be?"

"That's not as simple as just being scolded!" Count Rostovtsev showed a bewildered smile, "Being scolded is just a trivial matter, and more importantly, all the things that were won back last time have been lost. Officer Menshikov has been reinstated!"

Old Igor's eyes widened, and he couldn't believe it: "The old eunuch has returned to his post again? How is this possible? Didn't you say that the third part found out many problems with him, such as corruption, dereliction of duty, bribery... this Are you all right? Was Nicholas I blind?"

Count Rostovtsev replied calmly: "He has been blind all along, did you know it the first day?"

Old Igor was speechless for a moment. He could feel that Count Rostovtsev's indifference contained too many emotions, and the hidden anger could not be hidden no matter what.

For a while, Old Igor had no interest in talking. The stupidity of Nicholas I is really not news, and nothing that this pretendingly shrewd stupid king can do is surprising.

The reinstatement of Officer Menshikov means that the previous victory of Grand Duke Constantine has become an out-and-out joke. It is conceivable that everything he has tossed about in the Admiralty for the past few months will come to naught. Menshikov will simply negate all his innovation plans and step on 10,000 feet so that he will never turn over.

In other words, after tossing around, Grand Duke Constantine was very happy, and he didn't get anything. Possibly even more, because Count Rostovtsev told him:

"Menshikov is ready to completely negate Grand Duke Konstantin's reform plans,

He is going to negate his previously revised naval budget, and there is still only one steamship left..."

Speaking of this, Count Rostovtsev suddenly laughed and said, "I heard that Grand Duke Konstantin was going to make a big fortune, and he invested a lot of money for the purchase of machines in his factories, tsk tsk... ..."

Old Igor also laughed when he heard this, because Grand Duke Constantine must have suffered a lot. A steamship really can't make money.

Old Igor would be happy as long as the little fat man was unlucky. After laughing for a while, he suddenly asked worriedly: "But, will the little master be implicated?"

Yes, Menshikov returned to the throne and fell out with Grand Duke Constantine again, and it is said that Nicholas I was very dissatisfied with Li Xiao's publicity. No matter how you look at it, this is not good news!

"I'm sure I'll be implicated," Count Rostovtsev replied calmly. "After all, he's been in the limelight recently. If I'm a step late today, your little master may have been secretly escorted by the vicious third dog leg." Siberia went wild..."

"What!"

Old Igor jumped up in surprise, almost hitting a hole in the roof of the car.

Count Rostovtsev smiled and replied: "Don't be nervous, old friend, there is me!"

Old Igor still asked anxiously: "How did you solve it?"

Count Rostovtsev said with a smile: "I told that majesty, it is indeed necessary to teach your young master a lesson. However, it is not recommended to distribute it secretly, because your young master is too famous, and doing so will have a bad influence and easily fall into the mouth." Reality!"

"I suggest that His Majesty transfer your little master to the most dangerous battlefield, and use the enemy's bayonet or bullets to solve the problem once and for all!"

"What have you done!"

Old Igor was furious. He grabbed Count Rostovtsev by the collar and sprayed his face. If Count Rostovtsev hadn't explained it in time, he might have strangled the poor count to death with his own hands.

"Protect your little master!" Count Rostovtsev patted his iron-like hands holding his collar with a smile, and said, "Don't you think that it would be wrong to keep your little master in St. Petersburg?" Safer?"

"Believe me, old friend, if he continues to stay here, he will only become a thorn in the side of Crown Prince Alexander, Grand Duke Constantine and Nicholas I, and there will be a steady stream of intrigues and tricks to greet him."

"The open and dark arrows will not stop, even I am afraid I can't protect him well. So the best way at this time is to leave the whirlpool and right and wrong circle of St. Petersburg, and stay as far away from that family as possible!"

Old Igor said angrily: "Then he can't be sent to a dangerous battlefield! He's just a child! In case something goes wrong, how can I..."

Count Rostovtsev patted the back of his hand again: "He can't be a child forever, he has to go through all this to become a man. And..."

Count Rostovtsev paused slightly, and said with a smile: "I think the battlefield is not as dangerous as you imagined, at least it is safer than the current St. Petersburg!"

After struggling for a while, old Igor could only accept it helplessly, because it was impossible for Nicholas I to listen to him, and the current environment in St. Petersburg was indeed too harsh, so it was better to go out to avoid the limelight.

"Where are you going to send him?"

Count Rostovtsev replied indifferently: "Walachia and Moldavia."

Old Igor frowned and asked, "Didn't you say that there is turmoil there, and anti-Russian forces are rampant? Isn't it too dangerous..."

Count Rostovtsev replied firmly: "No, it is safer there! Because apart from Wallachia and Moldavia, there is only one choice left in the Caucasus. The situation in the Caucasus is even worse, and the soldiers are still That mad dog of Count Amursky, that fellow is not a good man!"

As soon as he heard the title of Earl Amursky, old Igor immediately backed down. That guy is indeed too perverted, so he should serve with normal people.

Count Rostovtsev continued: "And there is another advantage in going to Wallachia..."
