Bulgaria is the top priority for Count Rostovtsev, because only Nicholas I continues to exert extreme pressure on Turkey to make the worst situation happen, and only in that way can Nicholas I be destroyed and Russia Put it to death and come back to life!

It’s just that there hasn’t been much progress this month. After all, St. Petersburg and Istanbul are thousands of miles away, and each round of diplomatic battle between the two countries will take a long time. What’s more, far more than Russia and Turkey are involved in this battle. There are also Austria, Prussia, Britain and France.

Negotiations will become more complicated when the whole of Europe is involved, and every move of any country will be interpreted endlessly, which further makes the negotiation process more cumbersome.

In fact, the procrastination of the negotiation process made Nicholas I very dissatisfied. He was never a patient emperor.

Take Turkey for example. Doesn’t he know that such extreme pressure will cause Turkey to rebound to the extreme? He must know that there are risks involved, but his professionalism is so strong that he can't stop at all, so even if there may be risks, his luck makes him choose to take risks.

So in order to speed up the negotiation process, Nicholas I decided to send a plenipotentiary envoy to Turkey on his behalf, once again increasing the pressure on Turkey, and directly crushed the chicken into pieces!

It’s just that he hesitated who to send to Turkey. Nesselrode tried his best to recommend his confidants, but Nicholas I didn’t like it. All of them are so cautious, and they can't get his intention at all, so naturally they can't talk about implementing it clearly.

Nicholas I wanted a special envoy who could understand his will but had enough diplomatic means and was particularly deterrent.

It's just that such a candidate is really hard to find, because there are really no people who can meet the above conditions, and there are people who can understand his will. On the Bulgarian issue, he believes in Uvarov and Count Rostovtsev They all know his thoughts, but neither of them are suitable for missions.

It's not that they didn't have enough diplomatic means, but that Nicholas I felt that he couldn't live without these two people. No matter which one he left, he felt that he had no confidence in his heart. He was really not at ease with two people helping to come up with ideas.

In addition, Nicholas I felt that Duke Alexander, Duke Ordorf, or Nesselrode himself could understand his intentions and ideas to some extent, but these people had their own problems. For example, Duke Alexander has swollen too much in the past two years. Although he can complete this mission 100%, what will he do after he is successful?

Nicholas I has no plans to hand over the Ministry of Foreign Affairs to Duke Alexander for the time being, but he can't be rewarded for his merits, right?

So Duke Alexander is not suitable either. As for the Duke of Aldorf, he is also suitable, but the problem is that as the head of the third department, he can be said to be the eyes and ears of Nicholas I, and it is not appropriate to throw his eyes and ears abroad. As for Nesselrode himself, Nicholas I believed that if he followed his orders wholeheartedly, things would get done. However, Nicholas I didn't trust him. He knew that the prime minister actually disapproved of his diplomatic strategy from the bottom of his heart, so he would definitely make a name for himself. It really made him 100% unable to satisfy him with the final result of being a special envoy.

Think about the worries of Nicholas I! Among the courtiers, he couldn't find anyone to help him share his worries. It really hurts!

"Count, who do you think is more appropriate to send to Türkiye?"

When Count Rostovtsev heard this question from Nicholas I, he felt relieved suddenly, because he knew that the moment he expected was getting closer. But on the surface he remained calm,

Because Nicholas I was a particularly suspicious emperor, it was not so easy to push a candidate who had mixed up his private affairs to the throne.

So Count Rostovtsev bowed slightly and replied: "Your Majesty, I am willing to go to Turkey as an envoy, and I promise..."

In fact, Count Rostovtsev didn't have to promise anything, because Nicholas I knew he would be able to do it, but Nicholas I couldn't let him go out, so the tsar could only sigh faintly:

"Of course I believe that you can do it, but domestic affairs are complicated, and I need you to stay in the country!"

Count Rostovtsev nodded slightly, and then replied calmly: "Then only Count Uvarov can complete this task!"

Nicholas I clicked his tongue again. Sure enough, Count Rostovtsev agreed with him, but the problem is that Uvarov can't leave either, and the right-hand man and the right-hand man must stay.

"In that case, it would be really troublesome to choose a candidate..." Count Rostovtsev seemed to be lost in thought, as if he was helpless about this thorny issue.

This made Nicholas I feel a little better. He felt that his wisdom was not much worse than that of Count Rostovtsev. Didn't he see that the count was also at a loss?

Of course, Rostovtsev was not helpless, he just catered to Nicholas I and flattered him in the most ingenious way. Is it because of his political wisdom?

"After thinking for a long time," Count Rostovtsev said, "If you must send this plenipotentiary envoy to Turkey, I think only Prince Menshikov can take on this important task..."

The tone of Count Rostovtsev's remarks was a bit clever. It sounded like he was recommending Menshikov, but no matter how he heard it, he didn't seem to recommend this candidate. Anyway, Nicholas I heard this entanglement, so he became even more entangled.

"Prince Menshikov?" Nicholas I groaned, and asked with a frown, "Is he really suitable?"

It can also be heard from Nicholas I's tone that he doesn't think Menshikov is suitable, but if Menshikov is the special envoy, he also feels that he is barely qualified. Candidates who pass the line.

"Prince Menshikov is certainly not the most suitable candidate," Count Rostovtsev replied solemnly: "But considering all factors, he has done diplomacy, and he can understand your majesty's intentions. And also has enough prestige and qualifications..."
