Struggle in Russia

It is not unusual at all to lose a pawn to save a chariot, and it is even less unusual for high-ranking officials, especially pretentious ones.

However, Li Xiao did not accept this trick. He exposed it unceremoniously: "Humph! Why are you pretending to be a good person now! Mr. Butler made it very clear just now that the Grand Duke does not allow me and the Earl to leave. How dare you do this? Dare to admit it!"

Viscount Prozolov's face turned dark immediately. He really didn't expect Li Xiao to be so shameless and so reckless that he would slap Grand Duke Constantine in the face in front of so many people. What does this mean?

This shows that they do not like Grand Duke Constantine at all, and have no intention of reconciling with him.

"Absolutely impossible, this must be a misunderstanding!" Viscount Prozolov explained bravely, "How could the Grand Duke give such an order? This is definitely a misunderstanding!"

Li Xiao immediately sneered and said: "Misunderstanding? I don't think this is a misunderstanding, right? His Highness the Grand Duke invited me and the Earl to come over, but he didn't listen or ask anything. What does this mean? When we were about to leave, he sent someone to block the way, huh, You are so majestic!"

Viscount Prozolov could only explain repeatedly like a repeater: "You must have misunderstood, absolutely misunderstood, definitely misunderstood!"

But this was of no use, because Apraxin also followed up with a last-ditch attack: "I don't think it was a misunderstanding. I saw everything that happened just now. This butler is so powerful. He said that he would not let His Excellency the Grand Duke and the Your Excellency, the Earl, refuses to let you leave. I think this is the Grand Duke's Palace, probably the interrogation room of the third part!"

The faces of Grand Duke Constantine and Viscount Prozolov became even more ugly as soon as these words came out. They wanted to explain and defend themselves. Li Xiao and the others carried a heavy weight. Not to mention that they had no evidence, even if they had so-called No one else may believe the evidence.

Anyway, judging from the faces of the spectators, it was obvious that they did not believe their explanation. What's more, many people who are close to Alexey or Aprakhin have silently distanced themselves, and they are ready to get out of the way.

At this point, he could only end it all quickly. He waved his hands impatiently and said: "Whether you believe it or not, this is all a misunderstanding. I will never give such an order...since you don't believe me. , if you want to leave, just leave, justice will prevail in people’s hearts anyway!”

After speaking, Archduke Constantine turned around, waved his hand, and left. Out of sight, out of mind, or pretending to be an ostrich.

At this point, it can only be said that more than half of his overall plan has gone bankrupt. As long as anyone at the scene is not blind, they can see that Grand Duke Constantine, Li Xiao, and Alexey are not dealing with them. Among them, the smarter ones could even see the true thoughts of Grand Duke Constantine, and naturally knew that this man was just bluffing.

After thinking about all this and looking at this so-called meeting, it is not a big joke. This relationship is a calculation from beginning to end. It can only be said that this grand duke takes reform as a child's play!

Grand Duke Constantine's loss of followers was serious this time. After Li Xiao and others left, more than a dozen people left one after another. Without exception, these people are the backbone of the youth reformists. It can be said that Archduke Constantine suffered heavy losses!

"These two bastards don't give you any face! I'm not done with them!"

Grand Duke Konstantin returned to the study and became furious. He hit the furniture and pointed at Viscount Prozolov's nose and cursed.

"And you, Viscount. Explain to me carefully. Didn't you say that inviting those two bastards over would be a good idea? What can you say to increase your influence? Now tell me how your influence has been increased?!"

Seeing the furious Grand Duke Constantine, Viscount Prozolov was speechless for a while. You want to randomly change other people's suggestions and achieve the same effect. How is this possible!

It's like this every time. You always want to change other people's ideas into a mess. In the end, when something goes wrong, you don't reflect on it at all. Instead, you find trouble with your idea. Who would dare to give you advice?

To be honest, Viscount Prozolov was really tired of Grand Duke Constantine's tricks. This time, he didn't bother to coddle him and just quarreled back:

"Your Highness, if you had followed my strategy completely, of course these embarrassing things would not have happened... The problem is, you changed your strategy without authorization... I have told you a long time ago that you cannot leave those two people alone. It’s also best not to invite Apraxin, did you listen?”

If it were anyone else, he might be speechless, but Grand Duke Constantine is not an ordinary person. He is not only thick-skinned but also dark-hearted. Anyway, he will not admit anything he has done. It is completely impossible to get him to admit his mistake!

Suddenly he slammed the table and shouted: "You are still reasonable, right? I think you just want to shirk responsibility!"

Viscount Prozolov is angry and funny. What responsibility does he have to shirk? The only thing he did wrong was that he shouldn't have given advice to Grand Duke Constantine, so he should have let this willful idiot do whatever he wanted. Then let’s see if he has any excuses to cause trouble for others!

He was too lazy to tell the difference, and simply spread his hands and said: "If you think it is my responsibility, then it is my responsibility... I will do whatever you want, just do whatever you want!"

Viscount Prozolov chose to break the pot, and now Grand Duke Constantine really had no choice. People just let him do whatever he wants, so what else can he do? Besides, he really couldn't do anything to Viscount Prozolov.

After all, there are only a few people around him to make suggestions. If Viscount Prozolov quits, who will he turn to?

It’s just that it’s impossible for him to swallow this bad breath like this. He opened his eyes wide and slapped the table again, threatening: “Do you think I really can’t do anything to you! Let me tell you, this world is gone. It’s okay for everyone… You don’t want to serve me, there are many people in St. Petersburg who want to join me!”

According to Grand Duke Constantine's understanding of Viscount Prozolov, he would usually admit his mistake at this time, at least that was how it was before. Anyway, he was already prepared to accept Viscount Prozolov's apology, and he was thinking of continuing to teach this guy a few words to make someone have a better attitude!

It’s just that this time, I don’t know whether Viscount Prozolov was despairing or retreating in order to advance. He didn’t follow the usual habits at all. Instead, he bowed directly and replied expressionlessly:

"Please forgive me for my limited abilities and my inability to complete the task as you requested. Since it doesn't make much sense for me to stay, please allow me to say goodbye to you... Your Highness, let's not forget each other forever!"
