Struggle in Russia

Vol 2 Chapter 738: Sad days (part one)

Little Adlerberg didn't want to leave St. Petersburg, especially Wallachia that had to go so far. Even if he was an imperial minister, it was quite tiring.

Of course, the main problem is not tiredness, but the task given to him by the old Adlerberg is to please Duke Mikhail and, by the way, establish a good relationship with the new Governors of Moldavia and Wallachia.

A good relationship with the governor of Moldavia is nothing to little Adlerberg, but it is really embarrassing for him to make him friends with Alexei.

The younger Adlerberg and Alexei are about the same age and have almost the same experience. They were both born with a golden key. The difference is that he once felt that he was in a higher position than Alexei. His father's position is still his position in the young aristocratic circle, and it is because he is steadily going to overtake Alexei.

But now they are the chief officials in the frontiers, and they say that the whole Wallachia is his land. That is crazy!

But he failed miserably in the competition, and watched as someone who was not as good as him snatched the fat in his mouth. What is his mood? Especially when his old man asked him to have a good relationship with Alexei, he really couldn't hold back this face!

"You have to go if you can't get your face down!" Old Adlerberg snorted coldly, and said contemptuously: "What's the use of a face? How much is it worth? If you want a smooth career, you can't have a face, you have to be thick-skinned! "

Adlerberg was stunned by this kind of explicit remarks, but it was not that he was shocked, but that the tone of the old man's words today was quite unkind, as if holding an evil fire!

Little Adlerberg asked cautiously: "Father, has something happened?"

Old Adlerberg looked at him meaningfully and said, "Something has happened! Your old father has made a mistake again this time! Once again, he has fallen into trouble, and now neither is pleased!"

It turns out that the old Adlerberg was also on the list that Schwarzenberg and Neschel Rodie tried to win. The old man felt that he had completely guessed the mind of Nicholas I. It was a safe and reasonable collection of money. Later, I was dumbfounded, because Menshkov actually returned the money, and there was a rumor that Nicholas I was quite dissatisfied with the Austrians' unyielding bribes, and even the ministers who only took bribes had a dissatisfaction.

This news made old Adlerberg dumbfounded, because he never expected that things would develop like this, especially after the news came out, Nicholas I’s attitude towards him changed inexplicably, like Very dissatisfied with him, now the old thing really wants to cry without tears.

"Your father, I am in a precarious position now. If it weren't for my majesty to find a beauty, if it wasn't for the queen's face, I would really lose office this time!"

The old Adlerberg sighed, looking so lonely, and then said: "So this time must be a little leisurely, not only to find a way to repair the relationship with your majesty, more importantly, to make arrangements for you in advance to prevent everything. One!"

Little Adlerberg didn't understand. If he wanted to make arrangements for his future, why should he arrange for him to go to a place like Wallachia where birds do not shit? How nice it would be to arrange in St. Petersburg nearby!

"What do you know!"

The old Adlerberg was anxious and taught: "In St. Petersburg, our family is very popular with trees. I used to be able to take care of you when I was favored. Now I cannot protect myself, and the people here are especially sinister. Your position, if you stay, it is equivalent to setting up a target and you can only passively be beaten!"

Old Adlerberg sighed again: "But when you leave, it's different. Even if you go out to avoid the limelight temporarily, you can avoid a lot of trouble after this time!"

Little Adlerberg understood the old man's meaning a little bit, but he was still worried about his enemies or people who were jealous of his position. After all, this is different now, so you must relax a little.

"And there is a reason for letting you go to Wallachia!" Old Adlerberg confessed again, "In my opinion, this time the Gorchakov family will be flourishing, Mikhail The performance of the Duke on the battlefield is obvious to all, and the Duke Alexander’s diplomatic performance has made his Majesty very satisfied. This family will inevitably become prosperous in the future, so it is very necessary for you to contact the relationship in advance!"

Speaking of the Gorchakov family, the young Adlerberg was also very emotional. The two brothers complemented each other with each other. This time they performed very well in Wallachia and Austria. There are already voices that Alexander The Duke is the best candidate to succeed Nesher Rodier.

That's the position of the prime minister! Although Nicholas I was a powerful emperor, the power of the prime minister was greatly restricted, but he was also a prime minister with less than 10,000 people. Anyway, the younger Adlerberg knew that his old man was a prime minister in dreams.

Of course, that is just a dream, because it is impossible for Nicholas I to make the old Adlerberg prime minister, unless the prime minister is responsible for finding a woman for him.

"Will that give Count Nesselrodie an opinion?" Little Adlerberg asked cautiously.

Old Adlerberg sneered again: "That old guy still feels good about himself! He doesn't even know that he has committed public anger. He has controlled the Prime Minister and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs for too long and blocked the way of too many people. Now there are more people who don’t like him than they like him~www.ltnovel.com~ I don’t think he will be able to jump for too long, or that he, the prime minister, will continue to be more harmful than good. If I were him Knowingly hand over the Ministry of Foreign Affairs to avoid the limelight!"

Little Adlerberg asked intently: "You mean Neschel Rodie is about to fall?"

Old Adlerberg laughed: "It's not that fast either. I don't think your Majesty currently knows who is better to be the leader, so let the old guy continue to stay and use his remaining heat, but his decision-making power may increase. The lower, your Majesty basically doesn't listen to him anymore now!"

Speaking of the old Adlerberg, he exhorted again: "When you go to Bucharest, you must have a good relationship with Alexei! Don't feel resentful just because he has overwhelmed you, even if it is really resentful. Bear it! I see, the reformists are probably going to get up again, so don't offend them for the time being!"

Little Adlerberg curled his lips and said: "Then I will avoid them! I will not deliberately approach them!"

Old Adlerberg scolded: "What do you know! The best way to knock down the enemy is not to throw a glove at him and initiate a provocation or a duel. That's a fool. The best way is to deliberately approach him and figure out him. All weaknesses and win his trust, and then stab at the deadliest time!"
