Struggle in Russia

It is not the first time that the Knights of St. Andrew have publicly held an oath-taking ceremony, but this year's ceremony is definitely the most special one. Not only were there only two new knights who joined the regiment, but the speeches of the emperor and the Grand Duke were completely different from the enthusiasm and spring breeze of previous years. There was no trace of festive meaning at all, and it was impossible to see how much they welcomed the new knights. The warnings and warnings are like holding a criticism meeting.

This kind of situation made the numerous onlookers in the audience who did not know the truth, Monk Zhang Er, puzzled, wondering what happened to His Majesty the Emperor and the Grand Duke who welcomed the newcomers happily in previous years. What the hell is this?

Of course, those who understand know why, and a group of princes and ministers who understand the inside story frequently look at the "behind the scenes" who caused all this - Li Xiao. They all looked at Li Xiao with the mood of watching a joke, wondering how this unlovable "bastard" grand duke would behave in the face of Nicholas I's slap in the face.

What will Li Xiao do? To tell the truth, Li Xiao was an ordinary nobody before time travel, and he would be more satisfied if he had no ambitions and could be a wife and child. There is no unrivaled arrogance at all, and the most bullied is swearing in the circle of friends or hiding on the Internet as a cannonball. But the little people also have the self-esteem of the little people. If they are bullied miserably, if they are riding on their heads to shit and pee, the little people will also explode when they can't bear it.

For example, now, Li Xiao is already filled with righteous indignation. The speeches of Nicholas I and Grand Duke Constantine brought back the shameful memory of his predecessor. All the grievances and injustices suffered by his predecessor over the years made him furious—without being so shameless and bullying Damn, is it true that honest people don't jump around and swear?

Immediately, Li Xiao was ready to go all out, and he would utter a bad breath for anything he said today. So when Boris finished his Oscar-like speech of thanking God, thanking Daddy, Mommy, thanking the seven aunts and eight aunts, and thanking the passer-by who couldn't hit the 18 poles, he walked to the ceremony stage sternly Central, glanced coldly at the audience and began to speak:

"On this special night, I would first like to thank our greatest late emperor, His Majesty Alexander I. In 1812, facing the invasion of French bandits, it was this greatest emperor and the greatest father of the nation who led us to turn defeat into victory. No Without him, there would be no Russian Empire today, no happy life for us today, and it would be impossible for us to stand here... He is undisputedly the greatest tsar of this century, and the great achievements he has established are beyond the reach of future generations. Transcendence. At this sacred, solemn and glorious moment, it is our duty to remember the greatest majesty, ladies and gentlemen, please let us thank the great father of the country together, for him in heaven and our great motherland pray!"

Li Xiao's words were like a cold wind blowing from Siberia, making the faces of everyone present very exciting. The faces of Nicholas I, Crown Prince Alexander and Grand Duke Constantine immediately turned black.

The reason is very simple. Before, Grand Duke Constantine boasted that he was the father of the nation and the greatest tsar, but Li Xiao immediately put on Alexander I to fight against Taiwan. Nicholas I, this is clearly a blatant slap in the face. And beat it so that no one can say no to it.

Compared with Alexander I, Nicholas I really has nothing worth mentioning. It was Alexander I who led Russia to defeat Napoleon, and there was nothing wrong with Nicholas I. Back then, the latter was a kid who could only pee and play in mud ! It can be said that Russia's international status in recent decades has come from that victory from the leadership of Alexander I. Without Alexander I there would be no Russian status as a European power.

If Nicholas I is considered the father of the nation, what should Alexander I be? Is the grandfather of the country the ancestor of the country? Neither side is a heavyweight.

Of course, Li Xiao said that on purpose,

It's just to deliberately disgust the father and son - let you brag about yourself, make you think you are awesome, now your face hurts! See if you still have the face to talk about the greatest and self-proclaimed father of the nation.

The faces of Nicholas I, father and son were very ugly, as gloomy as if it was going to rain. But they can't turn their backs yet, because Alexander I and that great victory are so important to Russia. Even though twenty or thirty years have passed, all Russians still can't forget that war, especially for the people in that war. The heroes are full of respect. No one dared to say that Alexander I and the heroes who won that victory were not great enough, not even Nicholas I, who monopolized power and said everything.

Li Xiao had more to say than that, he could feel the resentment deep in his predecessor's soul, that kind of silent anger was like gasoline, when touched with sparks, it began to burn blazingly. Over the past ten years, my predecessor has always wanted to vent or complain, but today's opportunity couldn't be more appropriate.

Now that you've torn your face, don't be reserved, just roll up your sleeves and get to work!

Li Xiao continued: "Secondly, I would like to thank my father, Grand Duke Konstantin Pavlovich, and my mother, Duchess Johanna Grudzinskavovich, for giving me life. It is impossible to stand here, and it is impossible to join the Knights of St. Andrew. Especially thanks to my mother, she paid the price of my life for my birth, this is the greatest maternal love, she is also the greatest mother, I I will always be proud and proud to have such a mother. I know that they can see me in the sky, be happy for my achievements, and bless and bless me to continue to move forward. This will make me full of fighting spirit and strength, and will Fear no challenge until you defeat all enemies!"

If Li Xiao’s mention of Alexander I’s great achievements before just made Nicholas I and his son unhappy, then mentioning his parents now makes them a little anxious. In their eyes, the Grand Duke and Duchess are a disgrace and cannot be mentioned Taboo, it is best to be forgotten and cast aside by the world. But Li Xiao not only mentioned it, but also thanked them openly, and said that his mother is great, which is simply provocative.

For a moment, Nicholas I wanted to rush forward to stop Li Xiao from continuing to speak, and wanted to whip this disobedient and careless nephew with his big mouth. But this occasion is not suitable, there are too many eyes watching, if he really does this, tomorrow he will become the laughing stock of the European royal family, and lose face to his grandma's family. This was absolutely unacceptable to Nicholas I, who was desperate for face, so he could only silently luck, thinking about how to teach someone a lesson after the ceremony.

But Li Xiao hasn't finished yet! The appetizers just now are the main dishes, and the main dishes are still behind!
