Struggle in Russia

Time flies quickly, and a week has passed in the blink of an eye. On the surface, this week in Kiev is the same as before, as if nothing happened. But only those who are really in the game can feel the suffocation of the rain.

"You can finally communicate directly with Count Shuvalov?"

Grand Duke Mikhail was not particularly excited when he heard the news, because he was not particularly interested in Count Shuvalov, so he just said indifferently: "Yes, it was not discovered by the military police?"

Although Grand Duke Nicholas was not particularly smart and keen, the changes in Grand Duke Mikhail were too obvious, so he also noticed that the other party was absent-minded, and it was clear that the other party had no interest in what he said.

This confuses Grand Duke Nicholas, because he has been acting according to this younger brother's orders. Before that, he paid a lot of attention to Count Shuvalov, and he wished to go out and communicate directly with the count. But how long has it been, why doesn't he seem to be interested in Count Shuvalov?

Although Grand Duke Nicholas didn't have much ambition, he was still more sensitive to this when he was born in an emperor's house. He immediately realized that there was a problem, and he couldn't help but care.

"No, according to your instructions, I dismissed the military police and will never be discovered!"

While talking about Grand Duke Nicholas while carefully observing Grand Duke Mikhail's expression, the other party still looked less concerned, and even secretly yawned!

"That's good! That's good!" Grand Duke Mikhail dealt with perfunctorily, "Please keep in touch with the count, and remember to notify me if you have any circumstances!"

This sentence made Grand Duke Nicholas finally realize that Grand Duke Mikhail was really not interested in Count Shuvalov, otherwise he would definitely not say so. Because normal people will first ask Count Shuvalov what he has to say and explain, rather than just leave it alone.

This made Grand Duke Nicholas very confused, because he didn't understand what was going on with Grand Duke Mikhail. Why was he suddenly so indifferent to Count Shuvalov? Is it to discover that something cannot be done?

In fact, Grand Duke Nicholas was not particularly interested in courting Prince Alexander, because he did not have that big ambition. He could only be a happy Grand Duke, and it would be good to eat and drink for a lifetime. So it doesn't matter whether the eldest brother or the second brother is the czar, as long as he is given adequate treatment.

Even if he doesn't want to do more than less, he doesn't need to accompany Count Rostovtsev every day to investigate the case, and he doesn't need to bother to open the secret connection of the military police guarding Count Shuvalov.

A heartless person like him is still more suitable for this relaxed lifestyle. It is really uncomfortable for him to do this!

So why is Grand Duke Mikhail no longer interested in Shuvalov? He doesn't want to know the reason at all, because it doesn't matter, it has nothing to do with him anyway!

If I let Grand Duke Mikhail know that his third brother had this idea, I would probably be very happy, because what he wants to do now is really unwilling to let Grand Duke Nicholas accompany him.

So what is Grand Duke Mikhail doing now? In fact, it's very simple. This guy is planning to establish himself and get himself a position of real power.

This starts with his contact with Peter Barek’s opponents. This group of people still complimented him very much. They were very enthusiastic and respectful to him. It made Grand Duke Mikhail not so cool, even if in the next period of time, this group of people actually did nothing and worked hard there. . But this attitude still makes Grand Duke Mikhail very useful.

You know he doesn't have this kind of treatment in St. Petersburg, yes, don't think he is the son of heaven and the tsar's son, but he has never enjoyed such filial piety. Because the nobles in St. Petersburg knew that he basically had no relationship with the throne, and he was destined to be just a good emperor. So it doesn't mean to flatter him. It would be great to have that time to flatter Prince Alexander directly.

Even those reformist aristocrats who are not in favor of Prince Alexander or are not so compatible with the prince’s political ideals will not look at him more, because there is a Constantine on top of him.

Let’s put it this way, in St. Petersburg, Prince Alexander and Archduke Constantine are the sun and the moon, and their light makes the stars like Archduke Mikhail no one pay attention. Therefore, Grand Duke Mikhail lived in St. Petersburg actually quite aggrieved. He came to the fire whenever he saw his eldest and second elder brothers surrounded by so many fans, and he was lonely like a bean sprout and ignored him.

It's just that he also knew that it was not realistic to want to forcibly rob the scene. Prince Alexander needless to say, and he would not be treated to him from Nicholas I to the conservative nobles. He was not so irony yet. As for robbing Grand Duke Constantine, he also tried, but it was very unsuccessful. The only gain was being laughed at.

Anyway, for a while, he felt that he had been like this in his life, and he could only live in the shadow of his eldest and second elder brothers, and be an honest and good brother.

But after contacting Peter Barek’s opponents, Grand Duke Mikhail finally felt that he was living like a person, and he finally felt that he was a prince and not an optional spare No. 4.

This group of people's attitude towards him is called a behaving, so that he really feels what it means to have a status and a card. Of course, he is not a fool~www.readwn.com~ He knows the reason why these people are so well-behaved.

Yes, Grand Duke Mikhail actually came into contact with these guys and it was not without a little discovery. From the mouths of these people, he slowly figured out the real situation in Ukraine, and learned about the grievances between Peter Balek and Shuvalov, as well as the ins and outs of this case.

This discovery made him stunned, but also had to sigh Shuvalov's boldness. Although he also disliked his second brother, Grand Duke Constantine, Shuvalov's actions made him aware of the danger of this man.

Count Shuvalov dared to frame up even Grand Duke Constantine, what else did he dare not do? And because of his strength, even Peter Balek didn't pay attention to him, and he was directly invisible to the governor. What a strong desire for power and ambition this must be!

Grand Duke Mikhail felt that he was incomparable with Grand Duke Constantine, and he was not even as powerful as Peter Barek. Since Shuvalov doesn't even look at these two, how can he look at him?

And even though he had the idea of ​​helping Prince Alexander secretly, it also had a prerequisite, that is, he would never charge forward and never take a risk. Just because of the madness and situation of Count Shuvalov, it is hard to say whether he will continue to engage in some crazy actions...
