Chapter 346 Selfishness

Peter Barek was completely dumbfounded when he was taken away. He didn't understand why it happened like this. Even though the two grand dukes were his own, why didn't they speak for him? Did he offend these two?

Anyway, Peter Barek couldn't figure it out, but it didn't make any sense whether he understood it or not, because the military police and the police wouldn't be polite to him, so they just invited him away.

After being taken out of the Governor's Palace and sent to a luxury prison car, the era when Ukraine belonged to Peter Barek has actually come to an end, because whether it is Grand Duke Mikhail, Grand Duke Nicholas, or Rostovsky who led all this Count Husband knows that this guy must be finished, his career and political life have been ended-the sky is going to change in Ukraine!

Count Rostovtsev glanced at the serious Grand Duke Mikhail, and couldn't help but feel a little funny. Only he knew that the Grand Duke's hesitation just now and his seriousness now were actually pretending.

Why do you say that? Because he did not spend much effort in persuading Grand Duke Mikhail to agree to "interrogate" Peter Barek. He just threw the relevant evidence on the table and told him:

"Peter Barek has serious suspicions, and now he must be brought under control. One is to facilitate the interrogation and the other is to prevent him from using his power to wreak havoc!"

After a short pause, he smiled and said to Grand Duke Mikhail and Nicholas: "After controlling Peter Barek, the stability of Ukraine's political situation will depend on the two Highnesses. I think the two will temporarily manage Ukraine. All government affairs are reasonable and necessary, what do you two think?"

At the beginning, Grand Duke Mikhail wanted to help Peter Barek, but when he heard that Ukraine's government affairs would be handed over to them temporarily, he immediately forgot about it. As I said earlier, this guy's ambitions are not small, especially after gathering a bunch of scumbags, his ambitions are even more inflated, and he has a lot of thoughts about Ukraine.

Before, he just planned to put some people in Ukraine and get some real power, but now Peter Barek suddenly fell, and Count Rostovtsev handed over the power of Ukraine's government affairs directly to him, which made him overjoyed .

Grand Duke Mikhail felt that the only thing he lacked was the opportunity to perform. He had been suppressed by Crown Prince Alexander and Grand Duke Constantine before, so he had no chance to display his talent at all. And now this opportunity is not here?

If he can take this opportunity to make some achievements in Ukraine, then Nicholas I will never fail to see it. Maybe the old man will appoint him as the governor of Ukraine as soon as he is happy.

You know this is the Governor of Ukraine! There are countless vacancies in Russia, and with Ukraine as a base, he can be regarded as the number one man.

In that case, his value will rise in a straight line. Presumably at that time, even the eldest brother, Crown Prince Alexander, would have to look at him high and put down his posture to win him over.

As for the second brother, Grand Duke Constantine, hum! That one who has never been a governor, please say bluntly that he has surpassed this second brother in one fell swoop, becoming the top existence among the princes!

Thinking of such a beautiful future, Grand Duke Mikhail naturally wished that Peter Barek could go as far as he could go, and naturally he would not help speak out sincerely. To be honest, it is already a miracle that he did not fall into trouble behind his back.

After Peter Barek was taken away, Grand Duke Mikhail had reached the limit of his patience. He wished he could sit in Peter Barek's position and start giving orders immediately, so as to enjoy the viceroy's addiction!

Grand Duke Mikhail's careful thinking could not be hidden from the eyes of Count Rostovtsev. He knew very well that the hypocrite Grand Duke had reached the limit of his patience, like a boiler running at full power. , Maybe it will explode immediately.

So how does Count Rostovtsev plan to relieve the pressure? It is definitely not the way to make Grand Duke Mikhail happy, because Count Rostovtsev knows exactly what this one wants to do, and it will be quite troublesome if he is allowed to mess things up, because he will definitely mess up Ukraine .

Count Rostovtsev does not want Ukraine to be too chaotic. What he wants is orderly chaos. These conservatives restrict each other and have no energy to restrain him. In that way, he can do whatever he wants, and in the end he can easily Break them down one by one.

He didn't intend to give Grand Duke Mikhail a chance to integrate the overall situation and become the leader of the Ukrainian conservatives, so looking at the coveted Grand Duke Mikhail, he said lightly: "Your Highness, now I will start to deal with Peter Baker. For Lake's interrogation, try to find out the truth as soon as possible. And the government affairs of Ukraine are entrusted to you two, especially your Grand Duke Nicholas. As the elder brother, you have to shoulder more responsibilities, and you must not let your majesty down. !"

As he said that, without waiting for Grand Duke Mikhail to react, he said quickly: "The big and small government affairs of Ukraine will be entrusted to you two, and everything will be decided by you two. If you two If you have different opinions, come to me again, and I will help you make up your mind, okay?"

Grand Duke Nicholas is a no-nonsense person, so he naturally has no objection to such an arrangement. As for Grand Duke Mikhail, he also thinks this arrangement is very suitable, because he thinks that Grand Duke Nicholas is a no-nonsense person, as long as he speaks up He can be persuaded to nod at will, and he will still have the final say on Ukraine's affairs at that time. As for what Count Rostovtsev said to help make up his mind, how could this situation happen!

With such confidence, Grand Duke Mikhail naturally nodded again and again, and even claimed that Count Rostovtsev's arrangement was very appropriate, saying that things should be done like this.

It's just that he didn't realize that this was actually a trap. The Grand Duke Nicholas, who he thought he could control casually, was not so easy to control. Soon Grand Duke Nicholas would teach him a lesson with practical actions, telling him that he was naive It's a disease that needs to be treated properly!

It's just that these are things for later, let's not mention them for the time being, let's say that Count Rostovtsev directly escorted Peter Barek back to the third department of Kiev, and threw him next door to Shuvalov and imprisoned him.

Count Rostovtsev did not start interrogating the pig right away, but wrote a long letter to report the whole story to Nicholas I in detail, especially emphasizing that he entrusted all the government affairs of Ukraine to His two bear children.

After finishing these, he strolled to the interrogation room and ordered Peter Barek to be interrogated...
