I don't know when Leonid started thinking about philosophical issues. He was thinking about the default division of labor in society since he was a child—is it true that dragons give birth to dragons, but must rats give birth to rats?

Seeing so many so-called aristocratic talents with bright faces who were actually embroidered pillows and straw bags, Leonid felt that these guys were ridiculous and obscene for no reason. Everything they have is not obtained by their own hard work, and they even laugh at those who work hard to change their destiny, thinking they are toads.

This was so disgusting that it made Leonid feel sick to his stomach. When he took root and saw the saddest, darkest and ugly side of this empire everywhere, he couldn't help but wonder if this empire was like the one he grew up with. So great was learned and instilled.

He didn't understand that if a country is just a group of people with the smallest mistakes at the top of the pyramid living a superior and elegant life, while the rest of the bottom are in dire straits, what qualifications does such a country have to be called great.

Anyway, after seeing a lot of these things, Leonid didn't feel at all that his motherland was great and everything was fine, and he didn't think it would be a good thing to maintain this state.

He began to understand what the Decembrists were fighting for. Obviously, those noble seniors like him could enjoy a superior life and do nothing, but they chose the most difficult and rugged road full of thorns. Even if they were deprived of everything and lived in exile in hardships, they would feel at ease.

Because he also felt that the great Russia should not be what it is now, and should be changed, but those people refused to change, and only wanted to hold on to all the vested children and grandchildren and never let go. The poor people who just want to reap the benefits that never pay, just want to squeeze and withhold those hardworking people forever.

This made Leonid very disdainful. He didn't like that kind of extravagant and licentious lifestyle, and he didn't like getting something for nothing. He believes that the higher the status, the greater the responsibility. The difference between nobles and commoners is that nobles should shoulder more responsibilities and work harder. Only in this way can they be worthy of the honor of nobles. Otherwise, what's the difference between that and scum?

Leonid didn't want to be a scumbag or a rice bug, so he worked very hard. He was always the one who worked the hardest in the 748 regiment. He just wanted to prove to the world with practical actions that nobles can also work very hard. Apart from birth, you can win everything through hard work and become the best person!

But now, after Duke Mikhail called him over to teach him a lesson, he found that he really didn't understand his uncle a little bit. He knew that this uncle was also a very hardworking person. In this case, he should know how to work hard. The meaning of struggle is that such efforts should be rewarded and praised, and everyone who is willing to work so hard should be given a proper opportunity.

But Leonid didn't hear this. All he heard was that his uncle defended those scumbags who were unwilling to work hard but took advantage of good resources, and maintained this very unfair system, taking it for granted.

To be honest, Leonid was very disappointed and had a feeling of disillusionment. For the first time, he realized that he didn't know his uncle at all, and he probably didn't even know his father whom he had always admired...

Prince Mikhail certainly could not have imagined that Leonid was thinking so much at this moment. Looking at his silent nephew, he thought that Leonid had listened to his words. It's a word of loyalty.

After a long time, he said: "I have told you so much, all for your own good. Both your father and I hope that you can support the Gorchakov family and make the family a higher level. You have never let us down, we believe that you will surpass us and become..."

Such words may have worked well for the old Leonid, because at that time he believed in everything he had been taught since childhood and was willing to fight for it. And now, after he has seen too many differences,

He had grown suspicious that such incentives no longer had the same effect on him as they once did.

So he remained silent, protesting all this with silent silence. It's a pity that Duke Mikhail didn't observe it, because the incentive effect was very good in the past, and he subconsciously thought that this time it was the same as before, thinking that this is enough.

After this beating, Duke Mikhail finally started to get to the point: "Your father and I hope that you can take charge of your own affairs as soon as possible and act as our right-hand man as soon as possible. We firmly believe that you have such talents and abilities..."

"Just like now, when you are still concerned about the operation of a small regiment, can you imagine what kind of troubles your uncle is going through? How I hope you can stand up and help solve the problems!"

The previous encouragement was of no use to Leonid, but these words were of some use, because after all, he was a pure person who was willing to dedicate everything to the motherland. Hearing that Prince Mikhail was in trouble, he was naturally willing to help Find a way to resist.

"Trouble with the Turks?"

Leonid didn't understand what trouble Turkey could bring, until Prince Mikhail explained the ins and outs.

"So you want to teach the Turks a lesson, but you don't want to start a full-blown conflict, do you?"

Duke Mikhail was actually a little disappointed with Leonid's slowness, because he felt that if Li Xiao was talking to him, as long as he gave a little hint, the other party would be completely clear, and there was no need for him to explain so clearly.

He couldn't help sighing in his heart: 【Leonid is really slow to politics! 】

It's just lamentation, Duke Mikhail can't attack Leonid clearly, just now he has done his ideological work with great difficulty, and at this time he can only encourage and not dampen his enthusiasm.

He could only smile and say: "You summed it up very well, and that's what bothers me! Do you have any good solutions?"

To be honest, Leonid has no good solution, because this is indeed not the direction he is good at. He is better at fighting, rather than intrigue and scheming. According to his previous temper, he may directly answer: "What is there to be entangled with?" , teach the Turks a lesson, and naturally they will be honest!"

For an honest boy like Leonid, using force to solve problems is always the first choice. There is nothing that can't be solved by a fat beating. Live the invincible iron fist of Russia!
