Struggle in Russia

Nicholas I sometimes really felt that God made a huge joke on him. Why is the crown prince Alexander so sissy that he doesn't look like him at all, while the second child Constantine seems to be enough for him? If the two are switched How good it would be.

If Constantine was the eldest son, Nicholas I felt that he did not need to work as hard as he does now, and could hand over a considerable part of state affairs to Constantine. Instead of running to wipe Alexander's ass from time to time.

Looking at Crown Prince Alexander, the indecision on the child's face made people angry. And look at Grand Duke Constantine, how festive and lovable this heroic little fat man is!

"Pity!"

Nicholas I sighed in his heart, it was impossible for him to let Constantine succeed him, that would be too inconsistent with the rules. The rule is that the eldest son inherits. This is an iron bar and a rule that cannot be disobeyed. And the most unlikely thing for Nicholas I, who lived by the rules all his life, was to violate the rules he recognized.

Nicholas I was a little depressed, but he was also a little worried. The crown prince is a bitch, and the crown prince's younger brother is brave. This is not a good thing. Nicholas I knew the most about ambition. Back then he also swore that he didn't want to be the tsar, but when he really got the chance to sit in that position, he was inevitably shaken and tempted.

Even a man as strict and self-disciplined as he can't stand the temptation of the throne, let alone Constantine who is far inferior to himself. Nicholas I believed that as long as this little fat man was given a chance, he would try his best to catch it, and once the most terrifying desire in his heart was seduced, there would be no way to put that monster in a cage again.

But Nicholas I was a little hesitant, because the performance of Crown Prince Alexander was so bad, he had to find a way to make this useless son look like a man, like a crown prince. And it seems that only Constantine can do it.

After thinking over and over again, Nicholas I decided to abandon his father's side. He was convinced that the best way for him, the Romanov family, and Russia was to turn Grand Duke Constantine into a whetstone, even if the last piece The whetstone may not end well, and so on!

Nicholas I thought about it. Supporting Grand Duke Constantine to put pressure on Crown Prince Alexander is more beneficial than harmful. If the knife is finally sharpened and Crown Prince Alexander is successfully trained, everyone will be happy.

Even if Crown Prince Alexander spent too much money, it didn't matter if he was kicked off the throne by his younger brother in embarrassment if the mud couldn't support the gable. At least it proved that Grand Duke Constantine had not only ambition but also skill. It is indeed safer for such a person to be a tsar!

From this moment on, Nicholas I was no longer a father to Crown Prince Alexander and Grand Duke Constantine, but a complete king. He gambled everything in order to maintain what Russia should have in his mind. look.

"Kostya is quite right,

Nicholas I deliberately glared at Crown Prince Alexander, and criticized very dissatisfied: "The war is imminent, and you must fully trust your general... What kind of ghost case are you going to investigate at this time, Sasha, you are thinking What! "

Crown Prince Alexander's face flushed red. It had been a while since Nicholas I pointed his nose at him and criticized him. He felt very ashamed, and tears rolled in his eyes involuntarily.

Naturally, Nicholas I didn't like this teary-eyed appearance. What he hated most was a man crying, and he became even more angry immediately, and taught him more severely: "Put your tears away, we The enemies of the world do not believe in tears!"

Immediately, Crown Prince Alexander was even more embarrassed. If there was a crack in the ground, he would probably get in directly. Even the courtiers around him felt that Nicholas I was a bit too harsh. Everyone knew that Crown Prince Alexander loved to cry, although this was indeed a motherfucker. Cannon, but other than that, there is nothing wrong with the Crown Prince, so why be so harsh?

Besides, Crown Prince Alexander's suggestion just now is also stable, and he takes care of the face of their courtiers, especially Menshikov. He likes Crown Prince Alexander's suggestion very much. After all, the crown prince also speaks for him.

Therefore, the old eunuch was a little anxious immediately, but he is not suitable to speak at the moment, let alone speak for Crown Prince Alexander, because the central figure in the discussion today happens to be his confidant, if he speaks, it will inevitably be considered as an elbow People defend themselves.

Menshikov is very aware of Nicholas I's temper. At this time, it's not a big deal if he doesn't speak, but once he intervenes, Nicholas I will have a problem with him, and he will think that he is trying to exercise power— —What the hell, I can’t even criticize your dogs, you Menshikov are so majestic!

So Menshikov could only wink at old Adlerberg across the table, meaning you old boy, don't sit still and speak for the crown prince!

In fact, old Adlerberg was quite embarrassed at this time. Recently, his favor was not as good as before. Even with his ass, he knew that Nicholas I had an opinion on him. So the old fox didn't dare to wag his tail any more, he quickly put his tail between his legs and behaved like a quail.

Why is old Adlerberg so honest? It's not to lower his sense of existence, to let Nicholas I know that he has recognized his mistakes and is willing to correct them sincerely, so he really doesn't want to participate in these crap things.

Because he knew very well that as long as he interrupted, Nicholas I might think that he had ulterior motives, and if he didn't do it, it would turn into giving away his head.

But now Menshikov has already winked, and this idiot has done it too obviously. Anyway, old Adlerberg knows that this old man's wink must have been discovered by Nicholas I. This is not sending him to the grill. what!

Old Adlerberg suddenly felt a little bit stuck, pretending not to see Menshikov's wink, let's not say that this old guy did it too obviously, the big guys basically saw it, and pretending to be stupid at this time will definitely give Crown Prince Alexander Leaves a very bad impression.

The old Adlerberg bet on the future of himself and his precious son on Crown Prince Alexander, how dare he offend the Crown Prince?

But if he stood up to speak for Crown Prince Alexander, Nicholas I was watching there? This His Majesty already had a lot of opinions on him, but now that he is fawning on the crown prince, will he suspect that he has ulterior motives, or simply think that he is enough for the crown prince of Alexander?

Old Adlerberg didn't want to wear such a label, because it was too dangerous, what should I do!
