Struggle in Russia

Vol 2 Chapter 381: Conversation (2)

If Count Rostovtsev hadn’t mentioned this, Nikolai Miluting would never think in this direction. After all, Queen Elisabeth Alekseyevna was not very well physically, and encountered her husband. The shock of sudden death is normal.

But when Count Rostovtsev mentioned it, he thought carefully about the death of Elisabeth Alekseyevna. There is indeed something unreasonable about the death of Elisabeth Alekseyevna. The queen was still under 50 years old and had never heard of heart problems before. , But died of heart failure, which is really strange.

Especially when you think of the terrible relationship between her and the empress dowager, the empress dowager has played a key role in the succession of Nicholas I, it is hard not to doubt the death of Elizabeth Alekseyevna Is it related to this?

If we start from the perspective of conspiracy theory, if there is no so-called secret edict, if Nicholas I's succession is entirely the opinion of the Queen Mother, then all the oddities make sense.

After Paul I was killed, the empress dowager once proposed to her son Alexander I that she would inherit the throne or be in power together. In other words, the empress dowager actually wanted to learn from Catherine the Great, but the result was not ideal and was rejected by Alexander I.

It’s hard not to doubt that after the sudden death of his son Alexander I, the empress dowager would germinate and use the excuse to abolish the more prestigious and prestigious Grand Duke Constantine among his courtiers, and then replace it with one that is unsuitable for him. The emperor’s Nicholas I, took this opportunity to expand his power to overtake Nicholas I, or simply achieve co-governance. This is entirely possible!

As for the death of Queen Elizabeth Alekseyevna, it has nothing to do with her or Nicholas I. After all, as a queen, she is also the person who knows Alexander I best. Is there any so-called secret edict, Elizabeth Alek Sheyevna is definitely clear. If they don't kill them, how can the empress dowager and Nicholas I feel at ease?

This terrible conjecture immediately caused Nicholas Miluting to sweat, and even he himself couldn't figure out why he had such terrible thoughts. He couldn't help but raised his head. He looked at Count Rostovtsev suspiciously, hoping that the Count would tell him that everything was just his imagination.

It's just that Count Rostovtsev's brown eyes are like a layer of veil, and they are like a boundless mist. They can't see anything. On the contrary, the more they look, the more they become confused, and the more they look, the more they become scared!

Nikolai Miliuting licked his lips, and asked without confidence, "Queen Elizabeth Alexeyevna...was a natural death back then!"

Count Rostovtsev calmly replied, "It is natural death..."

This answer made Nicholas Miliuting very speechless, because it was not a positive sentence at all. Although it seemed like an answer, how could it look like a negative or a rhetorical question after careful reading?

However, before he asked carefully, Count Rostovtsev suddenly added: "The death was really sudden. I remember that I didn't rush back to St. Petersburg and died when I arrived in Tula... Poor woman! "

These words made Nicola Miluting even more uncomfortable. He felt that someone had something in his words. Finally he couldn't help it and asked: "Are you suggesting that the queen's death was doubtful?"

Count Rostovtsev seemed to be taken aback, and said in astonishment: "Why do you ask? Do you think there is a problem with the Queen's death that year?"

Looking at the startled Count of Rostovtsev, Nikolai Miliuting was so angry that he wanted to slap him on the face with a brick. You obviously led me to think in this direction, and why have you planted me!

Nikolai Miliuting just wanted to defend, but Count Rostovtsev suddenly said: "But you said that the queen did die too suddenly, and it is normal for the world to have doubts. Moreover, the empress dowager's performance back then It’s also strange...but these are all rhetoric and not believable..."

Nicholas Miliuting is speechless. You have finished speaking all the good things. What should I believe? Or just treat it as if you are talking nonsense, and ignore it. What's the point of saying that there is something and nothing?

It’s just that Nikolai Milutin didn’t want to say it, but Count Rostovtsev wanted to say: “However, there were a lot of rumors and whispers back then. Most people didn’t catch a cold with His Majesty. They generally hoped that Grand Duke Constantine would be the Tsar. ... By the way, it seems that the relationship between the Grand Duke Constantine and the Queen Mother is not very good? It seems that the Queen Mother dislikes that Polish woman very much?"

Nikolai Miluting’s cheeks began to twitch, because he discovered that Count Rostovtsev had done it deliberately, and that rumors and talks on his lips were not enough to be believed, but a heart was gossip. You deliberately led the problem to the queen dowager, right? Even the fierce news that the queen dowager did not like the Grand Duke Constantine broke out. You are actually rumors in front of you!

However, Nikolai Miluting really can’t say that Count Rostovtsev is nonsense, because the queen dowager does not like the Polish wife of the Grand Duke Constantine, everyone knows~www.ltnovel.com~The Grand Duke The reason why he has been staying in Warsaw and reluctant to come back is largely because of the royal family's rejection of their couple.

Reminiscing about what happened to the son of the Grand Duke Constantine later, it is hard not to doubt that the empress dowager and Nicholas I conspired to usurp the throne in order to avoid the Romanov family bloodline being contaminated by Polish blood. This kind of bloodline theory is very marketable within the Romanov family, and considering the long-standing German marriage customs of the Romanov family, it is very possible to prevent the penetration of Polish blood.

It’s just that Nicholas Miliuting is not very interested in this, even if it can prove that the empress dowager played a disgraceful role in it, now the old empress has long been dead, and the status of Nicholas I is as stable as that of a mountain in Russia. No one will miss the Grand Duke Constantine anymore, or even forget him.

Is it possible that we have to set things right now and let the Grand Duke Andrei Konstantinovic come back to be the czar? It is estimated that no fool would be willing to do such a thankless stupid thing. Is Count Rostovtsev a hidden anti-Nikolai party?

As soon as this idea came up, Nikolai Miluting couldn't stop. After all, Count Rostovtsev also participated in the Decembrist uprising back then. Maybe there is such a possibility, OK! If that's the case, then things are probably too big!
