Chapter 602： the future is yours

"I'm tired!"

After Nicholas I finished saying these words, he sat back on the throne as if he had collapsed.

After seeing Nicholas I's dejected expression on the throne, the four people under the steps shouted worriedly, "Your Majesty!"

"I'm fine! I'm just a little tired!" With a smirk on Nicholas I's face, he waved his hand and said to the four people down the steps: "Dolgorukov, Nesherrodie, Orlov! "

"Yes!" The three people who were called by Nicholas I responded almost simultaneously.

"You three can leave!" Nicholas I glanced at Alexander again and said, "Alexander can stay!"

Although the three people present were a little worried about the state of Nicholas I, they had to obey Nicholas I's order to leave.

Only Alexander II and Nicholas I were left in the empty room, one of them looked up at the steps from under the steps, and the other looked down from the steps.

One father and son represent the past and the other represents the future. They are silent about each other, just staring at each other silently.

Until a ray of sunlight passed through the glass windows of the summer palace and shone on Alexander II and Nicholas I respectively, Nicholas I opened his mouth and said to Alexander II: "Alexander, come up!"

After Alexander II heard his father's call, he stepped on the steps step by step. The shadow under the sunlight gradually elongated as Alexander II moved, and covered Nicholas I on the throne.

When Alexander II stepped on the last step and came to Nicholas I, Nicholas I stood up and walked to the side of the throne.

"Father, you are..." Alexander II asked inexplicably.

"Alexander, sit down!" Nicholas I said to Alexander II, pointing to the throne that symbolized the authority of the tsar.

"No!" Alexander II shook his head and refused. He didn't want to sit up before his father returned to God's embrace. "This position belongs only to the tsar!"

"This position belongs not only to the current tsar, but also to the future tsar!" Nicholas I replied to Alexander II, panting slightly: "I am the tsar of the past, you are the tsar of the future, so you are qualified Sit here!"

"The future does not represent the present!" Alexander II sophistry said.

"I'll let you sit down!" Nicholas I said to Alexander II forcefully: "In the name of the tsar, I'll let you sit down!"

Seeing this scene, Alexander II had to obey Nicholas I's order and sat down. A wonderful feeling poured into his mind, a feeling that he could never feel when he was the crown prince.

"Look down now!" Nicholas I's voice reached Alexander II's ears.

The moment Alexander II followed Nicholas I's order and looked down, there was an illusion in his mind that the world was in my hands. This chair seemed to be no longer a simple chair, but a The whole world.

"Do you feel it?" Nicholas I asked Alexander II.

Alexander II nodded subconsciously.

"Tell me, what do you feel?" Nicholas I continued to ask Alexander II.

"The world!" Alexander II replied immediately: "I feel like I can control the whole world!"

"Very good!" Nicholas I smiled, and then said to Alexander II: "Now stand up!"

Although Alexander II was a little reluctant, he still stood up.

Still, that feeling of being in control hasn't gone away.

"Now you go slowly!" Nicholas I said again.

Alexander II followed Nicholas I's orders and went down, then turned to face Nicholas I.

When he looked at Nicholas I, who was standing on the throne again, this feeling disappeared without a trace, and he returned to the identity of the crown prince.

"And now?" Nicholas I asked again.

Alexander II shook his head and said to Nicholas I: "No more!"

"I hope you can always remember these two feelings!" Nicholas I taught with a serious expression: "After I die, you will become the new Tsar of the Russian Empire. At that time, you will have the The feeling of you sitting here (Nicholas I patted the chair), it will slowly corrode your whole person like a poison, your wisdom and your reason will be in overwhelming flattery fading away.

You will gradually alienate you from this, become arrogant, arrogant..."

"Father!" Alexander II wanted to say something, but was interrupted by Nicholas I's low voice: "Listen to me!"

Alexander II had to be quiet, listening quietly to Nicholas I's self-deprecation.

"Alexander, I hope you won't be like me after you become the Tsar!" Nicholas I showed a self-deprecating smile at the corner of his mouth.

Looking back on his own life, he worked hard for most of his life, and found that all he did was "futile effort". (Here, Nicholas I's thinking has gone to the other extreme, and he has begun to deny everything he has done before.)

"Father, you said an excellent tsar!" Alexander II hurriedly comforted Nicholas I.

"Good tsar?" Nicholas I shook his head and laughed at himself: "I have never accomplished a few things in my life, so how can I be called a good tsar! Alexander, you have to remember a few things..."

Nicholas I told Alexander II as if he was explaining his last words. After Alexander II succeeded to the throne, he would use the liberation of serfs as a means to redeem the mistakes he (Nicholas I) made; the Russian Empire should also pay more attention. Learn from the British and French, and learn their advanced technology just like Peter the Great at the beginning. Only in this way will the Russian Empire not face the fate of failure again; it is necessary to be good at discovering Russian native talents, and do not rely too much on German talents, because this era has already Different from the times between…

When Nicholas I finished speaking, he sat on the throne again without saying a word.

"Father, these reforms still need people like you to be able to control them!" Alexander II said to Nicholas I.

"I can't!" Nicholas I shook his head and said to Alexander II: "I am a person living in an old era, our era was not like it is now! If I were to carry out reforms, it would only change the original situation. got worse!"

Having said that, Nicholas I pointed to Alexander II: "And you are different. You live in this era... I am afraid that you have already had a solution in your heart!"

Alexander II was silent. He did have a slightly different plan in his mind than his father. He wanted to end the war with Jerome Bonaparte, and then use the money of the French Empire to develop the Russian Empire into something like Britain's. same as france...

"After I die, you can negotiate peace with Britain and France, or you can continue to fight with them! But before you become the tsar, I hope you can fight with me! Just treat me as an old man who is about to die. An illusory dream, can you promise me!" Nicholas I said to Alexander in an almost pleading tone.

"Father, I promise you!" Seeing that Nicholas I had put down his body to "please" him, Alexander II had to promise Nicholas I.

Between now and the death of Nicholas I, Alexander II will be a steadfast fighter.

…

On the seventh day after Franz Joseph and Prince Albert left Paris, Jerome Bonaparte suddenly remembered that he seemed to be "dove" by this guy Nierre.

He remembered that he had ordered Niel to assist Kuzan Monbonto in sorting out the honored members before the military parade began. As a result, several weeks had passed, and Niel had not handed over the specific list of members to him. .

"What are these two guys doing, Niel and Montauban?" Jerome Bona whispered, putting down the document in his hand, and then called Mokar over and ordered him to go to the General Staff and fight the war. Department come.

Mokar left quickly after receiving the order.

After a while, the French Deputy Chief of General Staff Niel and the Minister of War Cousin Montbonto appeared in his office.

"Minister Montbonto, how is the list prepared by the Ministry of War?" Jerome Bonaparte asked the Minister of War Kuzan Montbonto about the list.

"Your Majesty, this is the list of promoted members and medals we have drawn up! Please take a look!" Cuzanne Montauban, who heard Jerome Bonaparte's inquiry about the list, was relieved, and he hurriedly handed the list to Jerome Bonaparte.

"Why did you hand it over to me now!" Jerome Bonaparte asked Kuzan Montauban while turning over the first page of the list. UU Reading

Kuzin Montauban had to ask Jerome Bonaparte for his sins. Jerome Bonaparte waved his hand to Kuzin Montauban and said, "Forget it, it's not easy for you!"

I saw that the first name on the first page was Marshal Saint Arnault. His "credit" was to lead the French soldiers to occupy the Sevastopol fortress at a very small cost, so the Ministry of War "suggested" to grant the symbol France's highest honor, the Grand Cross, also awarded the title of Count of Saint Arnaud Sevastopol.

The second credit goes to the de facto Commander-in-Chief of the French Expeditionary Force, Pellisier, who, as commanded by Sevastopol, occupied Sevastopol with his daring military action, the Ministry of War "suggested" to award it to the Marshal scepter.

The third and fourth places were Conrobel and Bokes, who were awarded the Commander-level Gold Legion of Honor respectively.
