Struggle in Russia

Chapter 375: Imperial Conference (4)

Don't say that Grand Duke Constantine is a kid who will seize opportunities. Crown Prince Alexander, who is hesitant in this regard, is indeed far behind him.

So before Alexander could react from the last wave of blows, the second round of blows from his loving father fell on him again.

Nicholas I nodded and said: "Kostya is right. The most important thing now is to solve the problem of Mikhail Dmitrievich. Everything else is not important!"

Speaking of which, Nicholas I gave Menshikov a hard look, because the old eunuch's performance disappointed him so much, let's see what bastards he has promoted. The food for the Black Sea Fleet has been messed up, do you think it can be a little more stupid!

Anyway, Nicholas I was very unhappy. When he was unhappy, he wanted to smoke people, but right now none of these important ministers can be smoked, not even Menshikov, an old eunuch who has done something wrong. After all, this guy is His confidant, and he is not smoking him now, which makes Nicholas I even more unhappy.

After looking around for a week and not finding a suitable punching bag, Nicholas I could only find his baby son Alexander the Crybaby again, hum! That is to say, you are the least pleasing to the eye, and it is only natural for me to teach my son, so you are the only one left! Accept the saliva of the loving father!

"Sasha, look at you, compared to your brother, you are nothing! Look at how thoughtful your brother is, you really let me down!"

Crown Prince Alexander was baffled by this blow, or he was directly stunned, because he didn't say anything! Is there any reason to scold him for this? Is there any humanity left? It's a moral depravity, isn't it?

Crown Prince Alexander wanted to cry, but why did he criticize him again? What's more, his younger brother didn't say anything about whether it's good for Ge Shihong to surprise everyone with his skills. He just said that he should solve the problem of Prince Gorchakov, but he only asked the problem and didn't give a solution!

Yes, in fact, the worst thing about Grand Duke Constantine is that he is just a talker. Many problems, it is easy to say, but it is very difficult to find a solution.

For example, the shortage of supplies faced by Duke Gorchakov, does this room know? It's just that Grand Duke Constantine said it first. The question is, can he do it?

Hehe, he really can't help it, Grand Duke Constantine is just trying to make a joke!

The problem is, he was having a great time, but it was a disaster for Crown Prince Alexander. Because after Nicholas I scolded him, he asked directly: "How do you think Mikhail Dmitrievich's problem will be solved?"

At this time, Crown Prince Alexander's forehead was full of door numbers. He didn't know how to solve it, and he didn't rush to deliver food all the way! By the time the food from St. Petersburg arrived, the daylilies were cold.

But I can’t think of a way. After all, the old man has already asked. If he doesn’t say something, he might be scolded again. Although Crown Prince Alexander is used to being scolded by the old man frequently, he can avoid being scolded. It's still good, isn't it?

But at this moment, he couldn't think of any good solution, so he could only reply vaguely: "I think we can consider sending some emergency food to Duke Gorchakov from the surrounding area..."

Is this possible? Objectively speaking, it is possible. Anyway, is Ukraine the granary? It's not impossible to get a batch of them in the past for emergency. But as I said before, there is a problem with this method, that is, Paskovich may not be so easy to talk to, and this person will definitely get in the way!

What's worse is that Crown Prince Alexander knew that Paskovich would be in the way, Nicholas I also knew that he would be in the way, and even the officials knew that he would be in the way, but knowing that doesn't mean they can say it clearly. After all, superficial unity still needs to be talked about!

So Emperor Nicholas I was very dissatisfied with Alexander's suggestion, and immediately criticized: "This idea... this idea may not work... Ukraine may not have so much grain in storage... Besides, it will take time to transport it!"

"Sasha,

As the crown prince, can't you think of a more reliable way? Your idea is simply terrible! "

Hong Kong, Nicholas I is picking the bones in the egg. There must be grain in Ukraine, but there are people who hinder it; if the grain from Ukraine cannot catch up, where can the grain be transported from? Is this simply a thorn in the side?

Of course, everyone knows why Nicholas I wanted to criticize, because of Paskovich, because of this unspeakable reason, so the method of Crown Prince Alexander can only be denied. And this time no one is willing to help Crown Prince Alexander, otherwise, how can he deny his idea that seems reliable but actually doesn't work?

Now I can only pretend to be deaf and dumb against my will, and let Nicholas I veto this most reliable but impossible method.

"Think about it!" Nicholas I did not let Crown Prince Alexander go, forcing him to continue to think of a way, "If you are at this level, how can I trust the country to you!"

Well, Crown Prince Alexander was under great pressure immediately, and for a moment he really wanted to reply: "My level is low and I have failed your hopes, then you can hand over the country to others!"

It's just that when the words came to his lips, Crown Prince Alexander swallowed them back forcefully, because he couldn't take back what he said. If Nicholas I got annoyed and directly crippled him, it would not be playing football.

Although this crown prince is gratifying, but without this title, I am afraid that it will be even more gratifying. When I think that if I am weak and give in, Grand Duke Constantine will rise to the top, and when I think that I will bow to this disgusting little fat man in the future, Crown Prince Alexander It is absolutely unacceptable!

He could only bite the bullet and replied: "Then try to transport grain and grass from Belarus or the Caucasus..."

It’s just that his idea was even worse than the one above, and Nicholas I categorically denied it before he finished speaking: “No way! The journey is too far, I can’t catch up at all! Have you used your brain, keep thinking!”

Crown Prince Alexander's heart is full of tears! Don't bring someone who doesn't treat the crown prince like a son, is there someone like you who is a father? Are you trying to play him to death!

But Alexander didn't dare to resist, so he could only continue to think of a solution. After a long time, he replied: "Then I can only ask Duke Gorchakov to raise food and grass from local merchants and landlords..."

Nicholas I was furious when he heard it, and he lashed out at him and said, "What kind of bad idea is this! The mighty Black Sea Fleet wants to grab food from the people, is it shameful! You idiot! I am so disappointed!"
