Chapter 312 Good Brother for a Lifetime
Not to mention the episode on Count Rostovtsev's side, after Grand Duke Constantine returned to his residence, he immediately called Viscount Prozolov to discuss countermeasures, and Count Rostovtsev's arrival also caught him off guard. He urgently needed Viscount Prozolov to analyze it for him.
"Count Rostovtsev?"
After listening to the words of Grand Duke Constantine, Viscount Prozolov fell into deep thought. He is not particularly familiar with this earl, because he has never liked to show his face in public, and basically there are very few entertainment and social activities.
He just heard that Grand Duke Constantine said that the count was the absolute confidant of Nicholas I, his status was not below Count Uvarov, and he was one of the most unoffensive people in the empire.
"To be honest, I don't know why His Majesty sent this earl to handle this case. According to you, this earl is more like an advisor to His Majesty. He should not be good at handling practical work. Sending such a person here is really disappointing." People can't figure it out!"
Grand Duke Constantine also sighed: "Who says it's not like this! This earl is one of the people I don't want to face in the Winter Palace. I have never been able to figure out what he thinks, and he has never been inclined. To put it bluntly, I'm afraid he doesn't even look down on my eldest brother, he is just the dog of the emperor who only serves him!"
Grand Duke Constantine said complainingly: "Let such a guy handle this case, God knows what he will do. You see, he just came and put Count Shuvalov under house arrest, and sent a nasty little tail Watching me, it's clear that you don't take any of us seriously!"
Obviously, Grand Duke Constantine has a lot of opinions on Grand Duke Mikhail, and he is extremely dissatisfied with being watched. Fortunately, this is not St. Petersburg, otherwise he would have to go to the Winter Palace to find his father and cry.
Viscount Prozolov was not as irritable as Grand Duke Constantine, he carefully analyzed the pros and cons, and said after a while: "Your Highness, it seems that this count is doing us more harm than good, even though Mikhail The Grand Duke came to monitor you, but he didn't restrict your freedom, you can still do many things..."
After a short pause, he continued: "But Shuvalov is not so lucky. You also said that he is under house arrest, and he can neither communicate with the outside world nor command remotely. This is equivalent to taking their brains in one fell swoop. Our enemies are completely paralyzed. That's a good thing!"
In fact, Grand Duke Constantine also knew this truth, which was why he could reluctantly accept being monitored. Generally speaking, the arrival of Count Rostovtsev was beneficial to them.
Seeing that Grand Duke Constantine was not so irritable, Viscount Prozolov continued: "The most urgent task now is to crucify Shuvalov so that he cannot stand up. Then, when they are leaderless, they will fight back with all their strength, and we must try to bring the case to justice." The nature of it is determined!"
Grand Duke Constantine nodded and said: "I also know the truth,
But you can also see that it took me a long time just now to get rid of Mikhail, this annoying bastard. I think this kid definitely has malicious intentions and is holding back my affairs! "
Viscount Prozolov said with a smile: "Your Highness, this does not surprise me at all. After all, it is more beneficial for Grand Duke Mikhail to curry favor with Crown Prince Alexander. Naturally, he will not give you good looks! I guess he is Hold back to make you unhappy and use this to curry favor with the Crown Prince!"
"Hey! Who's to say it's not!" Grand Duke Konstantin said annoyedly, "But now he is the deputy imperial envoy, and he is also under the orders of Count Rostovtsev. I can't do anything with chicken feathers as arrows!"
Viscount Prozolov smiled evilly and said: "Who said there is no way? It is very easy to deal with Grand Duke Mikhail. You just keep making troubles with him and attracting his attention. It is best to keep making troubles For Count Rostovtsev, the bigger the better. In the end, if the relationship between you is too tense, I think the imperial envoy will be very troubled, and it is very likely that Grand Duke Nicholas will be replaced to monitor you. Grand Duke Nicholas has such a temper It's easy to deal with!"
Grand Duke Constantine's eyes lit up, and he felt that Viscount Prozolov's method was very good. Didn't he say the old saying, children who cry have milk, this world always bullies honest people, and if you want to not be bullied, you have to be dishonest !
He gritted his teeth and said, "Okay, I'll make a fight with him now, no one is afraid of anyone! But the calculation is like this, it will take time, but if I am entangled by Mikhail, who will take charge of the overall situation!"
Viscount Prozolov bowed slightly and said: "Your Highness, if you believe me, I will arrange the counterattack plan for a while, and I will definitely not let you down!"
To be honest, Grand Duke Constantine is not completely at ease with Viscount Prozolov, not because he is worried about him seizing power, but because he is not strong enough to fully realize his intentions. Because several times before, the Viscount wanted to join forces with Alexei and Li Xiao again, which made Grand Duke Constantine completely unacceptable, so he specifically explained:
"Viscount, I trust you very much. I believe you will not let me down, but there are some things I still have to tell you. Never go to those bastards in Wallachia. Those bastards are all heart-to-heart Hei, always trying to take advantage of me, I have suffered losses several times, this time I can’t fall into the same pit again!”
In fact, Viscount Prozolov really had the idea of contacting Li Xiao by taking over the power, and even thought it was a good thing that Count Rostovtsev sent someone to monitor Grand Duke Constantine. Some of the Grand Duke's actions seemed to him to be too naive, and sometimes he was doing bad things. It would be easier to do things without him, a person who is prone to bad things, interfering in it.
Moreover, taking this opportunity, Viscount Prozolov can let go and use it as a means to fully demonstrate himself. He wants to show Grand Duke Constantine his true ability, which can just strengthen his position.
It's just that Grand Duke Constantine tirelessly gave special instructions, so he can't openly disobey orders, and it's too late to contact Li Xiao now, if you can't cooperate, then don't cooperate!
He immediately nodded and said: "Your Highness, please rest assured that I will fully implement your intentions! There will be no accidents!"
Now Grand Duke Konstantin was satisfied. He patted Viscount Prozolov on the shoulder, and then went to find Grand Duke Mikhail with the attitude of a strong man who was going away and never returned. , it seems that these two brothers will have a lot of trouble in the next period of time, and there will be countless melons to eat...
