Chapter 92 The Emperor's Psychology (Part 1)

Nicholas I is in a pretty good mood recently, mainly because there is news from the Turkish side that the Turkish chicken is going to make a relatively large concession. When he thinks that Bulgaria will be "liberated" immediately, he naturally has no reason to be in a bad mood.

"Is there any new situation on Kostia's side? After calculating the time, he should arrive in Chisinau, right?"

Nicholas I, who was in a good mood, finally remembered that he still had a favorite son. When he thought of this kid traveling all the way to Moldavia to suffer, it was hard for him as a father. .

Sometimes Nicholas I had the urge to give a piece of the huge Russian Empire to Grand Duke Constantine, such as asking him to go to Poland to be king? In this way, Crown Prince Alexander can inherit the throne, and Grand Duke Constantine will not be completely useless.

You see, from here you can see how much Nicholas I likes Grand Duke Constantine, but after all, this kind of thought just flashed in his mind, he is still a tsar after all, he knows how to do this It may make Grand Duke Constantine feel better, but it will do a lot of harm to the Russian Empire.

If you want to cut a share from the country because you feel sorry for your son, then the tsars behind will follow suit. No matter how big Russia is, how many times can it withstand the toss?

Anyway, Nicholas I would never make such a bad move. At most, he would take more care of that little fat man while he was alive.

"The Grand Duke Constantine has arrived in Chisinau, but he hasn't shown up in public yet." Count Rostovtsev replied.

This answer satisfied Nicholas I. He felt that Grand Duke Constantine really deserved to be his son. He knew how difficult it was to be a feudal official, and he had to secretly inquire about the situation before he could start governing.

"Is that so? It seems that this kid is quite smart!" Nicholas I praised with a smile, and then he was going to talk about something else, because he felt that since Grand Duke Constantine hadn't officially started As long as he is governing, there will be no difficulties for the time being. When he understands the situation in Moldavia clearly, then his old father will help solve it.

According to Nicholas I's intention, today's work is temporarily over, and the next time is his tryst with his mistress, and he can talk to those cuties to relax his emotions, but Count Rostovtsev stopped he:

"Your Majesty, although Grand Duke Constantine has not yet officially taken over, he has already taken some actions, and these actions have caused some impact. I think it is necessary for you to intervene in advance, while being passive in the future."

Nicholas I was stunned,

If Count Rostovtsev hadn't said this, he would have doubted his ears. Although Grand Duke Konstantin is sometimes a bit out of touch, he is not completely unreliable in his work, and Count Rostovtsev actually suggested him to intervene in advance this time—what the hell did this kid do?

Immediately Nicholas I frowned and asked, "What happened?"

Count Rostovtsev bowed slightly and replied: "Your Highness, he was going to force Count Speransky to make concessions to him and send someone to trouble the count, but Count Speransky seized the opportunity to make a move. The defeat was complete... After a while, His Highness's people will be escorted to St. Petersburg for trial..."

The corner of Nicholas I's mouth twitched. He really didn't expect that Grand Duke Constantine would have the idea of ​​attacking Wallachia, let alone his son could suffer such a big loss. He was a little dumbfounded for a while.

But he didn't pay much attention to it, because overall it wasn't a big deal, it was just that his precious son was taught a lesson and suffered a little. But this is nothing, there are countless intrigues in the officialdom, and there is no harm in suffering a little loss.

However, he sighed with emotion: "Count Speranski seems to have gained experience!"

These words seemed to be a little happy but also a little meaningful. Count Rostovtsev couldn't grasp what Nicholas I meant for a while, so he didn't interrupt, but said again: "But this count is causing trouble. His ability is indeed top-notch!"

Nicholas I glanced at Count Rostovtsev, and said with a smile: "Just like his old man, he was able to make a fuss when he was young, haha, but he is a little more pragmatic, and he hasn't caused any big trouble for the time being. "

Count Rostovtsev understood what Nicholas I meant. For the tsar, he was very aware of Alexei's attempt to reform. The reason why he did not interfere too much in the past few years was because Alexei His steps are not big, and Wallachia is not the Russian mainland, so he can do whatever he wants. What's more, the answers that Alexei has handed over in the past few years are very beautiful, and the taxes paid make Nicholas I very satisfied.

That's why Nicholas I turned a blind eye to see what he wanted to do. As long as the trouble was not too big and a lot of taxes were paid, he didn't bother to interfere.

This is in line with Earl Rostovtsev's cognition. Although Nicholas I is old-fashioned and stubborn, it depends on the occasion. If all reformers can be as capable and sensible as Alexei, he is probably happy to see it It's done.

Of course, the most important thing was that Alexei's steps were small and he basically did not surpass Nicholas I's psychological bottom line. Otherwise, even if Alexei could give him a golden mountain every year, he would not tolerate it.

Count Rostovtsev thought for a while and replied: "But you'd better pay more attention to this count. He has not been very active recently. According to the news received in the third part, he and Count Vladimir seem to have an affair." conflicted."

Hearing this, Nicholas I laughed again. He was not surprised at all. He sent Count Vladimir to be a shit-stirring stick.

"It's good to have a conflict!" Nicholas I replied casually, "It's good to let Count Vladimir also accept the experience!"

In fact, what Nicholas I originally wanted to say was that there was no conflict among his courtiers, so how could he be stable as an emperor?

But then I thought that Count Rostovtsev was also a courtier, and it was inappropriate to say this to him. There are some things that even the most trusted confidant can't say. This kind of emperor's art can only be understood by himself.

In fact, Count Rostovtsev was very clear about the psychology of Nicholas I. He knew what Count Vladimir was going to do in Bucharest, and he was not the only one who knew it. Everyone knows, otherwise, why did the old foxes, Duke Mikhail and Alexander suddenly start to distance themselves from Alexei and Li Xiao? I really think you can be more satisfied with your little thoughts!
