Struggle in Russia

Igor was stunned. It was the first time he saw Count Rostovtsev who was a bit crazy. Look at his current appearance, the elegance and bookishness disappeared completely, his eyes were bloodshot, and his whole body They all became sharper, like a sharpened sharp sword.

This aggressive and sharp Earl Rostovtsev is full of oppression, giving Igor a feeling of being overwhelmed. For a moment he didn't know how to speak.

Of course, Igor is not without doubts in his heart, because just now Count Rostovtsev said that even if it was an opportunity, he would not recommend them to take action, the reason is that they may marry someone, this is a bit unreasonable, right?

Igor asked the doubts in his heart, and Count Rostovtsev sneered: "You are really confused, you can't see the situation clearly... You always think that your little master is Konstantin Pav The son of Grand Duke Lovech is the big hole card... But please forgive me, this is not a fart!"

Igor was taken aback for a moment, and then became furious, because the proudest and most persistent thing in his heart was the blood of his old master. He believed that there was no one in the entire Romanov family who was more suitable to be the tsar than his own master. But now Count Rostovtsev is saying nothing. This is simply mocking him face to face and challenging his bottom line.

If it wasn't Count Rostovtsev who said these words, Igor would have stabbed the other party with a sword.

It's just that the words that make Igor angry are still behind! Because before he could react, Count Rostovtsev said again: "Blood is nothing! Was it because of blood that Catherine I was able to ascend to the throne? She was just a humble peasant girl, a lowly What kind of bloodline do you have in the female branch of the army?"

"How good is the bloodline of Ekaterina the Great? Did she rely on her bloodline to persuade her courtiers to support her as emperor?"

"Even if you want to mention bloodlines, there is also the son of Grand Duke Mikhail Pavlovich. How do you think they will choose between your little master and that grand duke? They will choose a good Polish blood." Tsar!"

This full of ridicule sprayed Igor's face, but he couldn't fight back, because Count Rostovtsev was right. In terms of blood, it doesn't count Prince Alexander and Grand Duke Constantine. Grand Duke Mikhail Pavlovich's descendants stand in front!

But Igor is still unhappy with Earl Rostovtsev's attitude of talking about his young master's Polish blood—what happened to the Polish blood? Look at Crown Prince Alexander and Grand Duke Constantine. The blood is pure enough, and they have sufficient resources In the end, it was not as good as the little master raised in the wild at home! So, Polish ancestry is not a problem at all, okay?

Who would have thought that Count Rostovtsev would sneer and say, "Then you have to tell the ministers and princes and nobles to convince them that Polish blood is not a problem!"

Eagle was speechless for a moment,

The fact is one thing, whether people recognize it or not is another matter, more often it is people's words, no matter how beautiful you are, it can't be worth a bunch of mouths beeping.

Count Rostovtsev glanced at Igor, knowing that the other party had realized the crux of the problem, so he softened his tone a little, and said: "My friend, blood is really not a problem, as long as you win Strong enough support, even if your little master is a purebred Polish, it won't be a problem!"

"But the current situation is that your little master, apart from you and a few of your friends, has no decent support at all. How can you challenge Nikolai Pavlovich and his sons? Even Without them, any other surviving Grand Duke has a better chance of winning the throne!"

"So at this time, instigating Crown Prince Alexander and Grand Duke Constantine to make trouble is of no benefit to your little master, it will only make others cheaper! My friend, I advise you: Opportunities are only given to those who are prepared. Now you have no If you don't have the strength to aspire to the throne, honestly increasing your strength is ten thousand times more important than engaging in those petty tricks!"

Igor listened to it this time, and had to admit that although Count Rostovtsev's words were not pleasant, the truth was still true. If you don't have the strength or if you don't have enough strength, you will start a conspiracy. If you have enough strength, you will just crush it. People don't bother to make a conspiracy.

Igor sighed and said: "The problem is, according to the current trend, the throne will only get farther and farther away from my little master. Nikolai Pavlovich is dead, and Alexander and Constantine are still alive." With their son, not to mention that Nikolai Pavlovich doesn't look short-lived, if he doesn't take the initiative to create opportunities, how long will he have to wait!"

Count Rostovtsev could only respond with a wry smile, because sometimes he couldn't understand Nicholas I's body. This guy was so energetic, he worked at least seven or eight hours a day, and then I still have to slap a few girls, this kind of method is usually hard for the body to withstand, but this guy has been doing this for a decade or two, and it seems that not only did not damage the body, but became more and more excited He's getting more and more energetic, is this guy really a human figure?

Count Rostovtsev could only say: "Anyway, he is already fifty-two years old, and your little master is only 19 years old. Even if you wait another twenty years, your little master is only 39 years old. I don't think so. Nikolai lived to be 70!"

Igor smiled bitterly and said, "But he still has four sons, Alexander, Constantine, Nicholas, and Mikhail!"

"So what?" Count Rostovtsev said contemptuously, "The only ones who are capable are Alexander and Constantine. Could it be that your little master can't even compare with these two mediocre princes?"

"How is that possible!" Igor replied confidently, "My little master is a hundred times stronger than them! What I worry about is never about ability, but about the despicable and shameless suppression of this family. It’s not like you didn’t see what you did!”

Count Rostovtsev smiled slightly and said, "But didn't your little master get through it too? You can persevere through such hardships, and now that the situation is getting better and better, you should persevere! What's more, I think the family wants to I'm afraid it will become more and more difficult to suppress your little master!"

Igor asked puzzled, "Why?"

Count Rostovtsev smiled happily and said, "Because your little master's performance is really outstanding. If this trend continues, they won't be able to suppress it even if they want to!"
