Struggle in Russia

Duke Mikhail decided to make it clear to Grand Duke Constantine. He really had no patience and no interest in playing tricks with this little fat man to show himself superior to the nobles of the heavenly family.

Don't look at the fact that you, a nobleman of the Tian family, are becoming less and less valuable day by day. When your brother, Crown Prince Alexander, ascends the throne, you will be a phoenix with no feathers, worse than a chicken!

"Your Highness, I must remind you that the only one who can help you now is Wallachia. If you can't cooperate with them in a more pragmatic and equal attitude, then you can only ask for blessings!"

Grand Duke Constantine subconsciously retorted: "If you ask for blessings, ask for blessings. I will not beg some people in a lowly manner. I am a prince. Cooperating with them is to give them face, okay!"

It's just that he was so arrogant that he didn't dare to say it in front of Duke Mikhail. After all, Duke Mikhail’s qualifications, prestige and power are all there. If he dares to be so crazy, Duke Mikhail will immediately let him know what it means to not tolerate you - aren’t you crazy? Then you can fend for yourself!

"But their demands are too much!" Archduke Constantine complained.

Duke Mikhail was amused by these words. He felt that Grand Duke Constantine really didn't understand the situation. You didn't even look at your situation. Your butt was on fire or one foot was missing and you were about to fall off the cliff. Now, what qualifications do you have for bargaining?

Even if you say bluntly that if someone is willing to offer you that price to save you, it's all a favor. You have to make a grass ring to repay it, okay?

But you look like a bastard now. If someone is willing to save you, you still have to be picky and choose your tone. What the hell!

"If you think this request is too much," Prince Mikhail couldn't help but adopt a sarcastic tone, "then I guess no one will be willing to help you."

"But……"

Grand Duke Constantine still wanted to argue, but Duke Mikhail didn't want to continue talking nonsense with him at all, and directly interrupted: "If you accept those conditions, come to me again, and we will continue to discuss the specific strategy for countering the rebellion. If you really can’t accept it, then there’s nothing left to talk about, just think of another way!”

After saying that, Duke Mikhail walked away directly. He had had enough. I really don’t understand what’s going on in Grand Duke Constantine’s little head? Is it paste?

Duke Mikhail's decisive attitude made Grand Duke Constantine both angry and heartbroken. He was obviously a nobleman of the Heavenly Family, why should he be so angry? To take a step back, even if you, Duke Mikhail, don't give me face, you must still give me face, right?

But you actually waved your hands and walked away, completely siding with Li Xiao and Alexey. What do you mean?

But he didn't think about whether Duke Mikhail had already given him enough face. If it weren't for his father's face, Duke Mikhail would never have told him so thoroughly, no matter whether you wanted to or not. Understand, Moldavia's life and death and your political destiny have nothing to do with him anyway. Don't think too highly of yourself. The world will still function without anyone!

Grand Duke Constantine returned to his apartment angrily, and Viscount Prozolov, who was already waiting impatiently, hurried forward to ask about the situation.

"Duke refuses to help?"

He asked cautiously, looking at Archduke Constantine's face that was darker than the bottom of the pot.

"So be it!" Grand Duke Constantine sighed and said sadly: "He refused to directly send troops to help me suppress the rebellion, but... but he also suggested that we cooperate with Count Speransky and was willing to build a bridge to ask them to send troops..."

Viscount Prozolov was overjoyed when he heard it, and almost jumped for joy. This made him even more confused. This was obviously good news, why was Grand Duke Constantine so depressed?

"Good news? What's so good about this news?" Archduke Constantine asked angrily.

Viscount Prozolov subconsciously replied: "This means that we can put down the rebellion and regain control of Moldavia, which means that Count Uvarov's conspiracy has failed, which means..."

Viscount Prozolov mentioned several important meanings in one breath, which made Grand Duke Constantine even more uncomfortable. He said angrily: "Maybe you think these are very meaningful, but the price those two bastards are asking is nothing at all." It’s not low, I can’t be happy when I think about being blackmailed by them!”

Viscount Prozolov really thought that Li Xiao and Alexei were asking for an exorbitant price, and thought that was a bit excessive, but he still believed that people were fighting for their own good now. Even if the asking price is sky-high, I have no choice but to accept it.

But when he heard Grand Duke Constantine tell Li Xiao and Alexei's conditions, he blurted out: "These conditions are not harsh!"

Well, Archduke Constantine's face suddenly turned dark and he said angrily: "Isn't this harsh? Why do they offer such outrageous prices? This is Hongguoguo's blackmail! It's blackmail! It's absolutely unacceptable!"

Viscount Prozolov looked at the furious Grand Duke Constantine, sighed slightly and asked: "So you refused?"

"Of course I can't accept it," Grand Prince Constantine replied confidently, "but Prince Michael said that I can think about it for a few more days..."

Viscount Prozolov's expression is a little strange. He probably thinks that Grand Duke Constantine is ignorant of his blessings. I'm afraid it was Duke Mikhail who gave you face, so he gave you one more chance. If it had been anyone else, your attitude of being confused about the situation and desperate to save face would have caused the negotiation to fall apart, and I'm afraid you would have been pushed as far away as possible.

"Your Highness, I think these conditions are acceptable."

Although he despised Grand Duke Constantine for being ignorant of current affairs, Viscount Prozolov still tried his best to persuade:

"Our most important mission now is to quell the rebellion. As long as you quell the rebellion, you can keep your position and have a chance to make a comeback. This is more important than anything else. As long as you can help us quell the rebellion, you can save most of Molda. What if Viatu is given to Count Speransky?”

Grand Duke Constantine went crazy. He did not expect that Duke Mikhail would have this attitude, and his chief adviser would also have this attitude. Why should he bow to Li Xiao and Alexei? Why should those two guys blackmail him? he!

Viscount Prozolov said earnestly: "Just because they are the only ones who can help us, Your Highness, if the rebels are allowed to invade Chisinau, your political life will be completely over. Be, those efforts are completely worth it!”

"But……"

Seeing Grand Duke Constantine's retort, Viscount Prozolov couldn't bear it anymore and interrupted directly: "Your Highness, there is nothing to hesitate. You must go to Duke Mikhail immediately and tell him that you agree with Sperance." Earl Ji’s conditions. Otherwise, you will be finished, and I can only say goodbye to you in advance, because there will be no hope in the future!"
