Chapter 749: Wily and Calculating (Part 2)

What Nicholas I was most afraid of was that his nobles and courtiers would be influenced by the liberals to revolutionize. The last Decembrist uprising has always left him with lingering fears. There are hundreds of minor nobles, and even some of his best friends and confidants.

Even such people are hidden revolutionary parties, and Nicholas I really didn't know who else he could trust.

So this time, when Duke Mikhail and Grand Duke Kogalniceanu said that Adlerberg had connections with the liberals, he immediately became nervous, for fear that Adlerberg would become the second special Prince Rubetskoy.

But now hearing Count Rostovtsev's analysis, he suddenly felt that a stone in his heart fell to the ground. If someone is not the second Duke Trubetskoy, that's fine, that's fine. It turns out that some courtiers are fighting for power and making small reports!

Nicholas I was very happy to see his courtiers doing this in matters such as fighting for power and profit. He always believed that these courtiers should not be made too easy. Divide and conquer. Otherwise, the courtiers below are monolithic, and the emperor will become a mud bodhisattva.

Prince Mikhail had a conflict of interest with the young Adlerberg, which Nicholas I was very willing to see. Because this means that it is absolutely impossible for Duke Mikhail and Duke Alexander to have a drink with the old Adlerberg group.

If it is said that Nicholas I read those two reports with a heavy heart and full of worries, if he reads them now, he will be really happy and overjoyed!

Nicholas I was very happy, but Duke Aldorf was not so happy. Because according to the original plan, he should give little Adlerberg and old Adlerberg a dose of bad medicine, so that the father and son can't take it anymore. But with Count Rostovtsev's meddling, the truth of the matter is almost revealed to the world, so how can you use medicine at this time!

Suddenly, the Duke of Ordorf was slandering Count Rostovtsev in his heart: Why do you say you are so kind to the Adlerbergs and his sons? Received their money? Or accept their love?

Of course, the Duke of Ordov was also a little lucky. Fortunately, Count Rostovtsev spoke before him. If he went to apply the medicine first, and then Count Rostovtsev analyzed it in this way, it would be a lot of fun. Don’t worry. Instead of destroying the father and son, he got himself involved.

[This can be regarded as luck among misfortunes! 】

Duke Aldorf sighed in his heart, and was about to write to Duke Mikhail to explain the failure of the plan, and let them wait patiently for the next opportunity.

Yes,

Duke Ordorf's thoughts on making troubles suddenly went out, and he felt that with Count Rostovtsev around, this kind of conspiracy and tricks might not be effective, and he had to think of a better plan next time.

It can only be said that the Duke of Ordorf still doesn't know Count Rostovtsev very well. As the person who knows Nicholas I's mind best, this count knows the best way to completely disintegrate the trust of a subject in his mind. what is it.

For example, today’s method can only hide Nicholas I for a while. Although the tsar’s IQ is not particularly high, and his reaction speed is not fast, but Nicholas I has a very important advantage. That is very hardworking.

A person like him who is particularly diligent and likes to play with the emperor's mind, will replay when there is nothing to do. He will recall everything carefully over and over again, recall the expressions and suggestions of each courtier, and read the contents of it again carefully. significance.

This also means that you can hide it from him for a while, and it is no problem to fool him once or twice, but if you do it too many times, it will not stand up to his careful scrutiny. For example, what happened today is actually not that complicated. With the political IQ of Nicholas I, in fact, he came out by himself when he slept on the camp bed at night and thought about the truth on both sides.

Nicholas I was just overwhelmed by the liberals and the revolutionary party. As long as relevant issues were involved, he would subconsciously get nervous, which affected his judgment.

If Count Rostovtsev hadn't taken the lead just now, and if Duke Ordorf had taken the bad medicine as a matter of course, Nicholas I would always think about it afterwards. At that time, the inclination of the Duke of Aldorf was exposed, and Nicholas I would think that he had a connection with Duke Mikhail or even a party.

In the future, when it comes to the issue of Duke Mikhail or Duke Alexander, the opinions of Duke Aldorf will be considered unreliable by Nicholas I and will not be listened to.

Count Rostovtsev naturally would not allow Duke Ordorf to fall into such a low-level mistake, so he deliberately preempted and deliberately broke the words first, so that Duke Ordorf could not act according to the original plan. It's protecting him in disguise.

Moreover, Count Rostovtsev wanted to let Duke Ordorf know how to apply the correct rotten medicine. He would not let this opportunity pass by today!

Just when Nicholas I breathed a sigh of relief, he suddenly said: "However, Your Majesty still must pay attention to the actions of the young Adlerberg. Wallachia is now a mirror for us, and there is no room for any Mistakes, the stability of Wallachia is more important than anything. Once a scandal is caused by the struggle for power, then we will become an international joke!"

Nicholas I's heart skipped a beat, and he remembered that Wallachia was not another place. This ghostly place had just had a revolution because of anti-Russia. If there was a new round of turmoil caused by Little Adlerberg's struggle for power, That really didn't end well.

He felt that what Count Rostovtsev said was very correct. The stability of Wallachia is more important than anything else. Any actions to make things happen in Wallachia must be stopped, even the courtiers who are trying to make things in Wallachia. They're all bastards with two hearts! There is simply no perspective at all!

Nicholas I didn't think Adlerberg Jr. was stupid. On the contrary, he felt that both he and his father could be regarded as "cunning and cunning", and it was impossible not to know the current importance of Wallachia. But at this important juncture, he took the opportunity of being a special envoy and imperial envoy to go to Wallachia to say goodbye to Alexei. What kind of behavior is this?

Nicholas I suddenly felt that the Adlerbergs and his sons were a little disgusted. He felt that they had no overall perspective and did not distinguish between the big and the small, and they could disregard the major interests of the whole of Russia just for a little bit of petty gain. Is it really okay if such a person is entrusted with a heavy responsibility? Can it really be done?
