Struggle in Russia

Do you see that Grand Duke Constantine is speaking human words? As a soldier, you should take a carriage instead of a train. If Li Xiao remembers correctly, the Vice Admiral, Grand Duke Constantine, seems to be a soldier too, right?

He is not afraid of the other party, and everyone has already torn their faces. Since you came to ask for it yourself, he would not be polite, and immediately responded: "That is, what kind of soldier is taking the train? In this way, you are Retired early?"

Grand Duke Konstantin was taken aback for a moment. He never expected that someone would dare to attack him in front of Prince Vorontsov, and he attacked him so sharply. He was immediately annoyed and said angrily, "What do you mean? Do you criticize You can’t even say a word?!”

Li Xiao replied indifferently: "Of course I accept well-meaning criticism, but I won't get used to some people's nonsense and nitpicking!"

Seeing that the two men were about to start fighting, it stands to reason that the Duke Vorontsov next to him should come forward as a peacemaker, but what is interesting is that the Duke pretended not to see it at all, and he stood there with his head up Looking at the sky, I didn't know that I thought the pie was going to fall from the sky.

This was naturally beyond the expectations of Grand Duke Konstantin. He originally thought that no matter what, Duke Vorontsov should give himself some face, and it was impossible to just look at Li Xiao and hate him like this.

Who would have thought that people still didn't give this face, just pretended they didn't see it, and let him make trouble with Li Xiao, it was simply watching the excitement and not thinking it was a big deal.

This made him very upset, because he felt that no matter what he was the Grand Duke of the Empire, and he kindly invited Duke Vorontsov to come and rest, he should give himself a little face no matter what!

But the other party just didn't give any face, which made him feel that it was no wonder that Nicholas I didn't want to see Vorontsov. Prince Rontsov's question!

If it wasn't for the situation, he would have wanted to scold the old man angrily. However, the situation is stronger than others, and now he needs the support of Duke Vorontsov, so he can only endure these unhappiness.

He simply ignored Li Xiao and said directly to Duke Vorontsov: "Duke, you haven't eaten yet, my chef is very good at French cuisine, how about we chat while eating?"

Prince Vorontsov seemed to have just woken up, and he replied cheerfully: "That's good, I'm just hungry too, Grand Duke Andrei, let's go and taste the chef's skills of His Highness!"

This remark made Grand Duke Constantine angry again, he didn't want to invite Li Xiao to the table at all, but Duke Vorontsov had already sent out the invitation, so he couldn't just drive him away without showing any grace, could he?

But he didn't pay attention to Li Xiao, just smiled and gestured to Prince Vorontsov, and then took the lead and walked in front.

Is French food delicious?

The taste is naturally good, especially for someone like Grand Duke Konstantin, whose cooking skills are not bad. Duke Vorontsov praises it while eating, which is called a feast.

After drinking for three rounds, Grand Duke Constantine finally found a chance to interject and asked: "Duke, I invite you to come here this time, mainly because I have some questions to ask you, and I hope you will not hesitate to enlighten me!"

While tasting the dessert, Li Xiao secretly laughed in his heart and said: The fox's tail is finally exposed, I can't help but want to have a meat scene!

But he didn't make a sound. On the one hand, this is Grand Duke Constantine asking Duke Vorontsov for advice. He is not suitable to intervene. How will Duke Zoff respond.

Prince Vorontsov wiped the corners of his mouth with a napkin, and replied slowly: "Teach me? You are too polite, Your Highness. I am just a retired old man. How can I teach you anything?"

Grand Duke Constantine immediately said: "Duke, you are too modest. Who doesn't know that you are resourceful, resourceful, civil and military. I have always admired you. I feel that the only person in Russia who can solve my doubts is you!"

Prince Vorontsov waved his hand and said: "You are so amazing, I am really just an old man who is just waiting to die. As for the little achievements in the past, it was just luck... and you are young and promising. The pillar of the country, how can I help you solve your doubts!".

Prince Vorontsov said it politely, but Grand Duke Konstantin felt something was wrong when he heard it, because this kind of politeness clearly meant alienation and refusal to keep people thousands of miles away.

It's just that who asked him to ask for others, he could only suppress his unhappiness and continued: "You are really too modest. If all the officials in our country are like you, why should the country not be rich and strong!"

He didn't wait for Prince Vorontsov to refuse and said: "But now there are huge problems in our country up and down. The previous failure in Crimea has made our country stand on the edge of a cliff. At this moment, we are the only ones who are working hard. Only then can the situation be saved!"

"And you are the veteran with the most seniority, the greatest contribution, the greatest contribution and the richest knowledge in our country~www.readwn.com~ I think that only you can stand up and help us force the king!"

Prince Vorontsov finally had a different expression, but he didn't seem to agree with what Grand Duke Konstantin said. On the contrary, he was quite vigilant about it.

He put down the napkin, and replied flatly: "Your Highness, after all, I'm old and retired, I'm afraid I don't have the ability to turn the tide..."

Grand Duke Konstantin was about to speak, but this time Prince Vorontsov rushed ahead: "You should tell me what the problem is. Although I may not be able to help, it's okay to listen to it. Maybe it can help." Where do you find someone who can actually solve the problem?"

Well…

Grand Duke Constantine hesitated for a moment, then smiled and said: "You are too modest, I think you will be able to clear my doubts... The thing is like this, the most urgent thing at present is the issue of reform, although His Majesty has already It is clear that reforms are needed, but there is no conclusion on how to change them. I think the most important thing at present is to reform the serfdom system. Only by abolishing it can our country get on the right track!"

Prince Vorontsov was not in a hurry to speak, because as long as Russians and reformists knew that serfdom was indeed the key point, there was no doubt about it. And Grand Duke Constantine is also an old reformer, it is impossible for him not to know this.

Now that you know, why repeat the same old tune? This is obviously something to say, okay?

At this time, it is not the best policy to interrupt in a hurry. Let's find out what the other party wants to say first!

Grand Duke Konstantin was not in a hurry when he saw that Prince Vorontsov did not express anything. He said step by step: "As you have seen, His Majesty has set up a Serfdom Reform Commission. Obviously, His Majesty also realizes that this issue is the key. But the establishment of this committee is good. It’s been a while, but there’s no movement, maybe it’s not right?”
