Chapter 701： "Stroke" Nicholas I

"Democracy? Freedom? What two ridiculous words! Golitsyn, what the Russian Empire needs is not so-called democracy and freedom, but a master and a father! You will only make the entire Russian Empire fall into ruin!" Nicholas I glared angrily at Duke Golitsyn, "Think of Poland! What did they perish in the first place!"

"Russia is not Poland!" Duke Golitsyn retorted calmly: "Furthermore, to this day Poland has not stopped their pursuit of independence, so they are far from being in a state of doom!

And I will give them the right to independence after the establishment of the new Russian Empire! "

"You're crazy!" Nicholas I yelled at Duke Golitsyn with wide eyes. "Do you know what the consequences of doing this are?"

"Consequences?" Duke Golitsyn chuckled. "The consequence of this is that the citizens of the New Russian Empire will be closely united with the citizens of Poland!"

"No! You will only ruin the Russian Empire's nearly 100 years of efforts!" Nicholas I, who did not want to be a sinner of the Empire, said to Duke Golitsyn in a slightly pleading tone: "Golitsyn, Think of your ancestors! Think of your father! It took us generations to completely annex Poland, and you can't just give it up!"

"Mr. Nikolai, what has the land we annexed at the cost of generations of casualties brought us nothing but the hatred of the Poles and the high cost of the garrison?" Duke Golitsyn Ask Nicholas I.

"That's not why we gave up Poland!" Nicholas I retorted to Duke Golitsyn.

"Mr. Nikolai, it's me who decides this now, not you!" Duke Golitsyn showed a smirk, "I want to tell you that not only do I want to liberate Poland, but I also want to free Finland and Croatia. Remia... Liberate all the oppressed peoples of the Russian Empire!"

"You..." Nicholas I yelled at Duke Golitsyn in a trembling voice: "You are a total lunatic! Lunatic!"

"Mad?" Duke Golitsyn pondered for a moment, then nodded and said, "I'm really crazy!

After all, I live in the most tyrannical and barbaric country in all of Europe. "

"This tyrannical and barbaric country has given you privileges that you cannot enjoy in any country!" Nicholas I replied to Duke Golitsyn: "My ancestors, grandmother, brother and me, which one is there? I have wronged you and your family! We have given you the privilege to do whatever you want in the land under your jurisdiction.

Duke Golitsyn, tell me which of your estates, farms, and factories did you not build on the privileges we gave you!

Even a dog will wag its tail at us after receiving such favors from us! What you do is worse than a dog, you are an unfamiliar wolf! "

Although Nicholas I scoured his stomach to provoke Duke Golitsyn with vicious words, Duke Golitsyn showed no trace of anger.

On the contrary, Andrew Nikolayev Golitsyn, who was beside Duke Golitsyn, showed a resentful expression on his face. He walked up to Nicholas I and raised his hand to give Nicholas I. Slap him twice to wake him up a bit.

"Don't do it!" Duke Golitsyn grabbed Andrew's hand and shook his head and said to him.

Then, Duke Golitsyn looked back at Nicholas I, "You are right, you and your family have indeed given me and my family a lot of privileges and wealth, but these things are all produced by you yourself. Is it right?

As the helms of the empire, you have one day to really work!

You **** the fruits of the labor of the citizens of the Russian Empire with peace of mind, and temporarily hand them over to us.

This bottomless plunder is itself built on sin and I am ashamed of the wealth I have!

Therefore, I must put an end to this sin with my own hands! Let the people of the Russian Empire live together in a new era of equality without being oppressed by privileges! "

"What madness are you talking about!" Nicholas I yelled at Duke Golitsyn: "I repeat, the world has been unequal from the very beginning, even in France, which you admire! Roma Bonaparte, is he equal to his subjects! Go ask the nobles of Paris if they are willing to be equal to those subjects who have lived on the land for generations!

All you do is to satisfy your own savior desires! "

"You are right, there is no absolute equality in this world!" Duke Golitsyn responded in agreement: "Even in France now, but I think I can build a relatively equal world with my own efforts. ! That's enough!"

"Do you know how many nobles were slaughtered and expelled by France at the time!" Nicholas I opened his eyes wide and said to Duke Golitsyn, "Do you also want to learn from them slaughtering all the nobles in Russia?"

"I don't want to make too many killings!" Duke Golitsyn responded sullenly, and then said coldly: "If those nobles are not willing to give up the privileges they have, I will be like Luo Luo. Like Bespierre, kill them all without hesitation!"

"You will only make you opposed by all the nobles!" Nicholas I stared at Duke Golitsyn and said to him word by word.

"Perhaps!" Duke Golitsyn shrugged his shoulders and said to Nicholas I: "I didn't expect to be able to convince them with words from the beginning. Only by letting them feel death, will they learn to communicate with the citizens of the Russian Empire. compromise!"

"Once they choose to compromise, it will be your death!" Nicholas I continued.

"Since they have chosen to back down, it means that they are moving forward with the reforms I hope!" Duke Golitsyn smiled with relief, "Even if I will be killed by them in the end, I will not A trace of regret!"

"You..." Nicholas I was speechless, he found himself unable to convince/enrage a Puritan with what he needed.

"Okay! Citizen Nicholas I, the conversation between us should also end!" Duke Golitsyn responded to Nicholas I, then turned to Andrew and replied: "The Tsar of the Russian Empire will Die tonight!"

"Yes!" There was a grim look on Andrew's face.

"Duke Golitsyn, I curse you! I curse every one of you to bear the sin of slaughtering the king forever, walking and purgatory, suffering endless torture..." The angry face of Nicholas I was slightly Twisted, he casts a vicious curse on Duke Golitsyn.

"Your Majesty! If there really is purgatory in this world, then you will enter it one step ahead of me!" Duke Golitsyn responded sullenly, "After all, my family and I are standing on the shoulders of the Romanov family. superior!"

With that, Duke Golitsyn left the room.

Only Nicholas I and Andrew Nikolayev Golitsyn were left in the room.

"Your Majesty, it's time for you to hit the road!" Andrew Nikolaev Golitsyn said to Nicholas I when he came to Nicholas I's land.

"Andrew, I don't know what Duke Golitsyn promised you! As long as you choose to submit to me, I can guarantee that you and your family can follow the Romanov family for a long time!" Nicholas I tried to use interests to win over Nikolayev Golitsyn.

Andrew Nikolaev Golitsyn stopped, with a hesitant expression on his face, "But my surname is Golitsyn too!"

Seeing that the insurgent work had some eyebrows, Nicholas I rushed to him and responded: "It doesn't matter! As long as you are willing to arrest the traitor Golitsyn, I will personally canonize you as the prince of South Russia! At the same time, let you serve as the governor of Odessa, UU Read The whole of Odessa will become your territory!"

"It sounds good!" Andrei Nikolaev Golitsyn touched his chin with a thoughtful look.

"Yeah! If you don't want to be the governor of Odessa, you can also serve as the governor of Finland!" Nicholas I hurriedly increased his stake, feeling that he could persuade Andrew Nikolayev to defect.

"Alas!" Andrew Nikolayev Golitsyn sighed, he walked slowly in front of Nicholas I, and in the hopeful eyes of Nicholas I, he pinched Nikolai fiercely La I's neck said coldly: "It's a pity! There is some inseparable hatred between us!"

"What... do we... have... hatred?" Nikolai I, who was strangled by Nikolaev's neck, asked intermittently.

"My biological parents were ruthlessly exiled to Siberia by you! If it wasn't for Uncle Golitsyn's help, I would have already died on the way to Siberia!" Nikolaev Golitsyn gritted his teeth. Nicholas I roared.

"It turns out... it is... like this!" Nicholas I's voice became weaker and weaker.

Just as his life was dying, he seemed to have returned to the winter of twenty-nine years.

At that time he had just assumed the throne when he encountered a rebellion by the Decembrists.

At first he did not understand why the Decembrists would give up their superior life and devote themselves to an action that would not benefit them.

And now, he still doesn't understand Duke Golitsyn.

Could it be that these are really so important to them?
