Chapter 733 Nicholas 1 Is Angry
In Count Rostovtsev's opinion, the so-called bloodline theory is the most boring. If you really want to strictly talk about bloodlines from Nicholas I to Peter III, you can't be counted as members of the Romanov family. It's just that Peter the Great couldn't help it after he became extinct. Just found a substitute.
Even more strictly speaking, the Romanov family is not the natural owner of the tsar, but also a substitute for the Rurik family.
So what qualifications does an alternative substitute have to claim to be authentic? Anyway, Count Rostovtsev couldn't hear a word of Nicholas I's complaints. He really went in his left ear and out of his right ear.
After a long time, when Nicholas I was tired of complaining, he bowed and said: "Your Majesty, I understand your concerns, but Andrei Konstantinovich, as Grand Duke Konstantin Pavlovich His heir was already recognized when he was born, and you also acquiesced before. Suddenly depriving him of his inheritance right at this time is easy to cause reverie and misunderstanding, and those fools who have no brains will think that you are all trying to plot Constantine .The property of Grand Duke Pavlovich..."
Nicholas I stopped talking immediately, because he hated Li Xiao's blood on the one hand, and on the other hand, he was indeed greedy for that property. After all, he had many sons, especially many illegitimate children, and there were too many places to spend money. , even the Tsar could not stand such extravagance. So finding ways to make money is his biggest hobby in private, and the property that Li Xiao wants to inherit is too much, so he can't help but want to steal it for himself!
But he won't admit it: "Nonsense! Am I such a greedy and narrow-minded person?"
Count Rostovtsev thought, "You are!"
"Is there any way to automatically disqualify Andrei Konstantinovich? For example, he committed a crime, or simply misbehaved!"
The contempt in Count Rostovtsev's heart became even stronger. No wonder old Igor dismissed Nicholas I so much when he mentioned it. This man's character is really not good!
"Your Majesty, according to the laws of our country, if Andrei Konstantinovich commits serious violations of the law or misbehaves, he can indeed be deprived of his inheritance..."
These words made Nicholas I's eyes brighten up, and he couldn't help smiling. But Count Rostovtsev immediately said: "But I must remind you that Andrei Konstantinovich's performance in the past year has been quite excellent, and there is no problem at all, and more importantly, You have issued documents to commend him more than once... If at this time you suddenly deprive him of his inheritance rights with excuses, it's a bit..."
There is no need to explain what is behind the point, Nicholas I understands it all. So his smile suddenly froze, making his old face look even more distorted and gloomy, and he gritted his teeth and said bitterly: "Damn it! I knew that bastard shouldn't be praised,
This is all right, let him be guaranteed! Damn it! "
Nicholas I vented his anger on the table, and then asked without giving up: "Can't you and the Duke of Aldorf think of a way to temporarily find him a fault?"
Count Rostovtsev replied respectfully: "If Andrei Konstantinovich was in St. Petersburg, Duke Ordorf and I would not let you down. But he is in Hungary now, even if we have planned It will take a month to rush there, and we obviously don't have that much time..."
We must be grateful for this era of inconvenient transportation, especially thanks to the rule of Nicholas I for making Russia extremely backward. With Russia's current capabilities, it would take ten days and a half months to send people to Hungary quickly, let alone plan a specific one. Conspiracy to frame a Grand Duke.
Anyway, with the current capabilities of Russia, it is definitely impossible, at least it cannot be done before Li Xiao becomes an adult. As I said before, once Li Xiao became an adult, Nicholas I would have to hand over the properties he controlled, but now, there are only a few days left.
Based on Count Rostovtsev's understanding of old Igor, the day when Li Xiao became an adult was the day when he came to ask Nicholas I for a debt. As long as Nicholas I dared to delay paying, that crazy old man He dared to pull the emperor off his horse in pieces. That's why he had to spend a month with old Igor.
Of course, Nicholas I might not give up and really sent people to Hungary to frame Li Xiao, but that was not a big problem for Count Rostovtsev. Because no matter who Nicholas I sent, it had to go through his hands. As long as he is allowed to arrange it, it is futile to keep this group of people.
"Why……"
Count Rostovtsev was planning how to destroy Nicholas I's crooked tricks, while Nicholas I sighed leisurely on the other side.
"There's no other way but to make that little bastard cheaper?"
Count Rostovtsev knew that this guy had retreated as soon as he heard it. He probably had to give up because he found things difficult.
Count Rostovtsev immediately replied: "Your Majesty, time is still long! The Grand Duke is only eighteen years old. He didn't make mistakes last year and he hasn't made mistakes this year, but it doesn't mean he won't make mistakes in the future... In the future, as long as he makes a mistake and gets caught, he will always spit out all his capital and interest!"
Nicholas I thought about it, and it was the same reason. He was still young, and he had many opportunities to trouble Li Xiao. He didn't believe that he would never be able to catch Li Xiao's tail. As long as he succeeded once, it would be Li Xiao's death!
Pay attention to the official account: the base camp of book friends, pay attention to get cash and coins!
Although he wanted to comfort him a little, the thought of making Li Xiao proud for a while still made him feel uncomfortable. Immediately, he waved his hand in a disinterested manner, and ordered: "Then do this first! Let that little girl Let the bastard be proud for a while... Count, from now on you must keep a close eye on him, and deal with him resolutely whenever you have the opportunity!"
Count Rostovtsev naturally nodded in agreement, and then asked for instructions respectfully: "Does it still need to strictly monitor Prime Minister Nesselrode and Prime Minister Schwarzenberg?"
Nicholas I snorted coldly: "Of course, I didn't expect the Austrians to be very rich! I have so much money to please my courtiers, but they are so stingy on military expenses, and they don't even want to pay a single ruble. Such a thing!"
Nicholas I did have reason to be angry, because he felt that he was the savior of Austria. If he hadn't generously sent troops to aid, the Habsburg family might have been guillotined by the Revolutionary Party. But now he only wants Austria to pay a symbolic amount of military expenditure, but these people refuse to agree, what the hell!
