Struggle in Russia

Chapter 378: Imperial Conference (7)

Uvarov's fueling made Grand Duke Konstantin even more embarrassed. His face turned from red to blue, and then from green to purple. It was quite uncomfortable!

It's just that no matter how uncomfortable he is, there's nothing he can do, why can't he come up with any decent dry goods? He wouldn't be able to stand up without some face-slapping dry goods!

Not only was Grand Duke Constantine uncomfortable, but Nicholas I was also furious. The scoop of oil and water just now not only made Grand Duke Constantine lose face, but also made him as a father lose face.

Before Nicholas I touted how ruthless Grand Duke Constantine was, now it hurts as much as being slapped in the face. Anyway, Nicholas I felt the burning pain on his face! He had never hated Uvarov so much for not giving face: [You old bastard, you wait for me, you must be the Minister of National Education to the end, get ready to go to Siberia to repair the earth! 】

All the ministers sitting praised Uvarov's courage. Of course, they must have nodded silently in their hearts, because everyone could see how angry Nicholas I was. It will make Uvarov unable to eat and walk around, this old man is really not afraid of death!

Uvarov is not only not afraid of death, he doesn't even feel that he will be in danger. Yes, he also saw Nicholas I's expression and knew that His Majesty was surprisingly angry, but so what?

Today, the reason why Uvarov dared to stand up against others was that he had full confidence to get out of the body. Moreover, not only did he want to retreat unscathed, but he also had to reap a lot of attention from Nicholas I and the gratitude of Crown Prince Alexander.

For an old fox like Uvarov, how could he attack people without thinking. Since he dares to attack, it means that this thing can be done. Not only is it not harmful to him, but it is also beneficial.

So you can see that Uvarov started his performance unhurriedly: "Your Excellency, don't you have any better suggestions?"

This is pouring oil, or flogging the corpse again. Anyway, Grand Duke Constantine is already ashamed and angry, but this is useless, because Uvarov is pressing every step of the way:

"Your Majesty has high hopes for you, you must not disappoint His Majesty!"

These voices are probably one in the ears of Grand Duke Constantine... No! It should be a group of nasty flies buzzing around his ears, but the frightening thing is that he can't kill these nasty flies, so he can only endure it forcefully.

After whipping the corpse, Uvarov knew that the fire was almost ready, so he turned to Nicholas I and said calmly: "Your Majesty, it seems that His Majesty the Grand Duke has no better idea, so I feel that His Excellency the Grand Duke is no better than His Royal Highness the Crown Prince." Gao Ming, it is completely unnecessary for His Highness the Crown Prince to learn from His Excellency the Grand Duke!"

These words hit Nicholas I directly in the face,

Anyway, the expression on this guy's face was very exciting, but he was so stunned that he couldn't speak, so he could only sulk and get angry.

"Your Majesty, you are too harsh on the Crown Prince!"

Uvarov suddenly straightened his face, and said solemnly to Nicholas I: "Maybe His Highness the Crown Prince's proposal does not have any eye-catching parts, but His Highness the Crown Prince's suggestion is generally reasonable... as Chu Jun, although you should be strict, you can't be too harsh!"

After these words, Uvarov's purpose was clearly revealed. In Nicholas I's view, Uvarov was just complaining for the crown prince Alexander, and he was standing up for the crown prince. This made him quite upset, after all, Russia is now in charge of him, okay? Now he is standing on the side of Crown Prince Alexander before Uvarov raised his braids. Isn't he already worshiping Alexander as his master!

No matter which emperor can't stand this, after all, there is no second day and no second master. Anyway, Nicholas I hated Uvarov thoroughly, and if nothing else happened, this guy might be going cold.

But Uvarov's next words immediately made Nicholas I change his mind, because Uvarov said: "Your Majesty, you are right to have high standards for the Crown Prince, otherwise how can the future Crown Prince be able to bear the burden?" Take up the important task of the country...but your strict requirements are also bounded by rules!"

"After all, the crown prince is the crown prince, and the crown prince is also the king. How can you insult the crown prince so easily? Today, if you insult the crown prince in front of our ministers, other courtiers will naturally look down on the crown prince. What is the majesty of the royal family and the emperor in the long run?"

"This kind of atmosphere must not be fueled, otherwise no one will be loyal to the crown prince and the royal family in the future. At least, the country will be in turmoil, and at worst, disasters will start from Xiaoqiang! How can you start this for the long-term stability of the country?"

"I know that my behavior is excessive and rude, and I am willing to accept punishment, but even if you want to punish me, I must defend the majesty of the crown prince, the dignity of the royal family and the country!"

Nicholas I immediately calmed down. Looking at Uvarov with a face of determination and loyalty, he also knew that he had indeed gone too far today. The reason why Uvarov hated him was to protect the emperor and the royal family. Dignity, if he ignores it, then he is not a loyal minister!

Nicholas I was originally an emperor who attached great importance to "rules", but now Uvarov is essentially maintaining the rules he made, so there is naturally no problem.

"Count, you are right. It is indeed my mistake! The prince should not be insulted, my behavior today is too much, I will always remember your advice, and I will never do it again in the future!"

Nicholas I spoke loudly, as if he had received re-education, and Uvarov was also moved. The two of them jointly interpreted what is meant by "a virtuous monarch, a virtuous minister, and a loyal minister". Anyway, the scene was quite bluffing of.

But yes, there are definitely buts. But that's just acting. Nicholas I's violent temper can be changed just by saying it? Do you really think how much he will give Crown Prince Alexander face in the future? What does not exist, at most, is a little restraint when insulting Crown Prince Alexander.

As for Uvarov, today he just saw the opportunity to win the favor of Crown Prince Alexander and the attention of Nicholas I. Do you think that if Nicholas I was determined to abolish Crown Prince Alexander today, would Uvarov fight to the death?

That doesn't exist either. If there is such a day, then Uvarov will kneel down and lick the new crown prince as soon as possible. He who knows the current affairs is a hero, and Uvarov knows the current affairs best. You won't be that kind of foolish and loyal idiot who doesn't know how to adapt!

In fact, most of the ministers present are well aware that this is just a play, and it is nothing at all...
