Struggle in Russia

Chapter 377: Imperial Conference (6)

It was surprising that Uvarov suddenly came out and said such a thing. Including Nicholas I, Nesselrode and others all looked like they had seen a ghost, because Uvarov was actually similar to Count Rostovtsev. He doesn't say a lot, but once he speaks, it's very critical and important.

Today, Uvarov not only spoke suddenly, but also directly directed at Grand Duke Constantine, which is very surprising and crucial.

Because Uvarov directly expressed his attitude: [I do not support Grand Duke Constantine, Crown Prince Alexander is the only heir in my heart! 】

You know, Uvarov is the literary and spiritual spokesperson of Nicholas I. He has great influence on Nicholas I's various policies and preferences. Once he expresses his attitude and supports Alexander Crown Prince, Nicholas I must pay attention to and respect it.

What's more, Uvarov's speech today was a bit direct. To put it bluntly, he hit Grand Duke Constantine or even Nicholas I in the face. Such a decisive attitude! It's like the kind of fish that dies when the net is broken.

Grand Duke Constantine's face was ugly, because Uvarov declared war on him face to face, almost telling the officials that he would not serve him, which was too sudden and caught him off guard.

Because just a few seconds ago, Grand Duke Constantine was still full of ambition, and he watched his old father hang and beat the crybaby brother with joy. According to this trend, at least Crown Prince Alexander will have no prestige today. The crown prince's position is no longer stable.

This also means that his chances are greatly increased. How can you be unhappy? So, just now he secretly cheered for the old father, hoping that the old father's storm would be more violent.

It's just that who would have thought that in the blink of an eye, there was a thunder on the flat ground, and Uvarov fired at him, and the firepower was fully fired as soon as he came up, which would kill him!

At this moment, Grand Duke Constantine was nervous, because he knew that Uvarov's attack was a challenge. If he could defeat Uvarov, then he would have a bright future, but if he failed, think about the old man just now. How did his father treat Alexander? I'm afraid he was the one who was pointed at the nose and humiliated at that time!

A thin layer of sweat appeared on the forehead of Grand Duke Constantine, and his brain was running at full speed, trying hard to think of a solution. He felt that if he could come up with a better suggestion than Alexander, then he would slap Uvarov in the face and prove to the world that he was indeed stronger than Alexander!

It's just... It's a pity that Grand Duke Constantine's level is actually the same, basically on the same level as Crown Prince Alexander. He can also think of a solution that Crown Prince Alexander can think of, and a solution that Crown Prince Alexander can't think of,

Of course he couldn't figure it out.

As the time passed by, Grand Duke Constantine was already sweating profusely, but the more anxious his mind became, the more he couldn't control his mind. The poor little fat man couldn't help crying out in his heart: [Why am I so angry? Unlucky, why did Sasha give out all the ideas he could come up with, it would be great if only I could come up with ideas first! 】

This person often has no self-knowledge, and Grand Duke Constantine doesn't even think about it. The ideas of Crown Prince Alexander have been rejected one by one by Nicholas I. What's the point of you being ahead?

Grand Duke Constantine fell into silence and couldn't extricate himself, and the ministers present at the meeting hadn't recovered from the shock brought by Uvarov—wasn't today discussing the messy things about the Black Sea Fleet? Why did he suddenly It's come to such a situation?

Immediately, whether it was the Prime Minister Nesselrode, the Minister of War Chernyshev, or the Duke of Ordov, Peter Volkonsky, and old Adlerberg all stared angrily at Maine. Shkov, their aspirations are probably:

[You old eunuch, look at your good deeds! If it's not yours, what's the point? 】

Menshikov was really terrified, and he was also terrified, because he didn't expect things to turn out like this. If he knew that the Mikjevic brothers would cause such a big trouble, he would definitely kill these two bastards first, okay?

Menshikov really wanted to explain to his colleagues around him, but who would listen to his nonsense at this time? Everyone was more concerned about how the day would end. Judging from this trend, it might be another big earthquake!

Nicholas I was also shocked, and it took him a long time to come back to his senses, and looked at Uvarov with a worried expression, looking at this gallant that he had always trusted. He really couldn't figure out how this brave man dared to be so presumptuous!

Yes, Nicholas I was also irritated by Uvarov. After all, although the opponent just went to the Grand Duke Constantine, and the main firepower was concentrated on the Grand Duke Constantine, the question he asked was also hit. The face of Nicholas I, after all, Nicholas I just said that Grand Duke Constantine is better than Crown Prince Alexander, and he wanted Crown Prince Alexander to learn from Grand Duke Constantine.

But now Uvarov questioned it face to face, almost saying: "Your Majesty, you are mistaken, Grand Duke Constantine is no better than Crown Prince Alexander at all, otherwise, he would not be able to say anything useful!"

It is conceivable how angry and embarrassed Nicholas I is now. The anger is because of Uvarov's offense, and the embarrassment is because Grand Duke Constantine can't say anything like a dumb bird. This is not the implementation of his wise Does His Majesty the Emperor make mistakes?

Such a result was naturally unacceptable to Nicholas I. He felt that his authority would be shattered and his majesty would be gone!

It's a pity that Nicholas I has nothing to do with the current situation, and he can't help Grand Duke Constantine with advice, and speaking from the bottom of his heart, he is no better than his two sons as a father, he The same is impossible.

The scene was so cold that people felt suffocating, and the less timid courtiers dared not show their anger, for fear of getting angry if something bad happened, they really couldn't afford to provoke this kind of shamisen fire!

It's just that these people are afraid, but Uvarov is not afraid. His heart is calm and undisturbed, as if he has done a trivial matter. He even thinks that the scene in front of him is not suffocating enough. The anger with Nicholas I was not strong enough, so he poured another spoonful of oil without hesitation!

"Your Excellency, why don't you say it? Your Majesty and we are waiting for your insight!"
