Chapter 1042 How Is It Possible?
If Grand Duke Konstantin knew what Count Rostovtsev did, he would definitely feel ashamed. Because the gap between the two sides is too big, the pattern and the grasp of proportion are not even the slightest difference. It can be said that even if Grand Duke Constantine spends his whole life trying to catch up, he may not be able to catch up. What's more, Grand Duke Constantine is not aware of the gap at all. At this moment, all he can think about is how to prevent Grand Duke Mikhail from stepping down. He does not realize that his lack of overall perspective ruins his hope of inheriting the throne. The key factor. Nicholas I really liked him, liked his strength and hoped that he would be decisive, liked his character that was different from that of Crown Prince Alexander, and especially liked that he was not indecisive at all. But even 11,100,000 of these likes cannot offset Grand Duke Constantine's major shortcomings of lack of overall perspective. For Nicholas I, he believed that the most important thing was to pass on the throne from generation to generation, and it would be best to allow the Romanov family to move to a higher level. If possible, it would be best to raise awareness of the Romanov family in society. The reviews are all positive. If he could do this, Nicholas I felt that his merits would be complete in this life. He hoped that future generations would adhere to the above beliefs like him and pass on the throne and family from generation to generation. But Grand Duke Constantine was not such an heir. Because he naturally does not have the right to inherit the first place, and he has ambitions that are inconsistent with his status, this forces him to take a different approach. In order to fight for the throne, he had to do some dangerous things. Otherwise, he wouldn't have the slightest chance. Of course, Nicholas I also understood the difficulties of Grand Duke Constantine, so he often turned a blind eye to what he did. As long as Grand Duke Constantine did not touch his bottom line, he could tolerate. But this time Grand Duke Constantine's idea was too outrageous. How could Nicholas I allow him to expose Grand Duke Mikhail's scandal and profit from it! It seems that the one who was slapped in the face was Grand Duke Mikhail, but after all, Grand Duke Mikhail is a member of the royal family. He is the biological son of Nicholas I and your biological brother, Grand Duke Constantine. If he is embarrassed, what can you do? Do you have face? To put it bluntly, what Grand Duke Constantine did was to harm others and not benefit himself. If this scandal were to be exposed, the reputation of the Romanov family would definitely be severely damaged. Together with Nicholas I, their family will become the laughing stock of the European royal family. Think about it, a prince and a majestic grand duke actually buy and sell official positions to each other for a few stinky money. How corrupt is this! If you think about it again, Nicholas I would probably be so angry that he would have a brain hemorrhage when he heard such news. As a son, he deceived his younger brother and even angered his father just for a short while. What kind of son is this! If Grand Duke Constantine really did this, Nicholas I would probably just hate him, and he would never want to have anything to do with the throne again in his life. Even the current positions will be stripped bare! It can only be said that Grand Duke Constantine is relatively lucky, because he has a good adviser, Viscount Prozolov. Although he does not think as deeply as Count Rostovtsev, his keen political sense tells him This is very risky. So he immediately advised: "Your Highness, I think it is better to keep this matter quiet. If Your Majesty finds out, it will be in trouble!" Grand Duke Constantine had not thought of this, he snorted and shouted: " How could you keep it quiet? You have to let your father know, otherwise how would he know that Mikhail is so unscrupulous? If he continues to let him mess around, what will this country become?" Viscount Prozolov thought in his heart. He sighed and persuaded patiently: "Your Highness, you can tell His Majesty the relevant information privately, but never reveal it publicly! That will not do you any good!" As he said that, he quickly explained the details in detail. The reason was directly heard by Grand Duke Constantine, who was stunned for a moment. He really didn't realize that there were so many little Jiujiu here. He asked Viscount Prozolov for an explanation. It seemed that he was really stupid to do this! But knowing that he knew it, Grand Duke Constantine still had a sense of luck. He thought for a moment and said: "It is really not feasible for me to expose him directly. Then can we find someone else like the last time I reported Peter Barak?" What if someone comes forward and exposes it? Then I won’t be fine?” Viscount Prozolov couldn’t laugh or cry. Only a genius like Grand Duke Constantine could come up with this bad idea. Isn't this a cover-up? Do you really think you are so stupid that you can't see this? Besides, you have to be able to find someone who is willing to come forward and expose this matter! Except for those revolutionary parties who were at odds with Nicholas I who might be willing to help, other Russian officials, at least with a little bit of brainpower, did not dare to get involved in this matter. Grand Duke Constantine was still unconvinced: "But there was someone who did what happened to Peter Balak last time..." Viscount Prozolov became more and more speechless. Peter Balak was just a governor, who could compete with Grand Duke Mikhail Is this kind of heavenly nobleman comparable to a deputy imperial envoy? Slapping Peter Barak in the face does not directly offend the royal family, so naturally there are stupid people who are not afraid of death and are willing to die for food. But let them gossip about the scandals of the royal family. Even if you put a gold mountain in front of them, no one will be willing to take it, okay? However, Viscount Prozolov knew the temper of Grand Duke Constantine. If he was told directly that no one would dare to do it, he would definitely not give up and would definitely come to find such a stupid young man to prove that he was right. For Viscount Prozolov, this was meaningless, and if Grand Duke Constantine really found someone who was not afraid of death, it would be great fun, since he couldn't end it anyway.
So he said to Grand Duke Constantine: "Okay, Your Highness, I can try to find it, but don't hold out too much hope!" This was a delaying tactic. When the time came, Grand Duke Constantine asked Prozzolo The Viscount Husband just kept saying he couldn't find it and that was it. But Grand Duke Constantine still did this. Viscount Prozolov softened his hair as soon as he touched it, nodded and said: "Okay, I'll leave this matter to you... By the way, I think Reporting directly is also a bit eye-catching. Can you try to pass the news to Nikolai or Count Rostovtsev so that they can make a thunderstorm?" Viscount Prozolov was already complaining about his incompetence. He knew that Konstantin The Grand Duke still refused to give up, and even thought of hunting down rabbits and tricking Grand Duke Nicholas and Count Rostovtsev. The question is, how is this possible!
