"Democracy? Freely? What ridiculous two words! Golitsyn, what the Russian Empire needed was not so-called democracy and freedom, but a master, a father! You will only plunge the entire Russian Empire into a state of no return! Nicholas I glared at Duke Golitsyn and said, "Think of Poland at the beginning!" What did they perish in the first place? ”

"Russia is not Poland!" Duke Golitsyn calmly retorted: "Moreover, Poland has not ceased to pursue the path of independence to this day, so they are far from being in a situation from which they will never recover!"

And I will give them the right to be independent after the formation of the New Russian Empire! ”

"You're crazy!" Nicholas I yelled at Duke Golitsyn with wide eyes, "Do you know what the consequences of this will be? ”

"The 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!" ”

"Nope! By doing so, you will only destroy the efforts of the Russian Empire for almost a hundred years! 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 the Polish lands, and you can't just give them up so easily! ”

"Mr. Nikolai, what has the land we annexed, which has cost us generations of casualties, in addition to the hatred of the Poles and the exorbitant military expenses of the garrison?" Duke Golitsyn asked Nicholas I.

"That's not a reason for us to abandon Poland either!" Nicholas I retorted to Duke Golitsyn.

"Mr. Nikolai, it is I, not you, who decide this matter now!" A smirk appeared at the corner of Duke Golitsyn's mouth, "I also want to tell you that I want to liberate not only Poland, but also Finland and Crimea...... Liberate all the oppressed peoples of the Russian Empire! ”

"You ......," Nicholas I scolded Duke Golitsyn in a trembling voice: "you are a complete madman!" Lunatic! ”

"Crazy?" After a moment of silence, Duke Golitsyn nodded and said, "I am indeed crazy!

After all, I live in the most authoritarian and barbaric country in all of Europe. ”

"This despotic and barbaric country has given you privileges that you can't enjoy in any country!" Nicholas I replied to Duke Golitsyn: "My ancestors, grandmothers, brothers, and me, who have ever treated you and your family badly!" 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, farmlands, and factories you did not build on the privileges we have given you!

Even a dog, after receiving such a favor from us, will wag its tail at us! What you do is not even as good as a dog, you are a wolf who can't be fed! ”

Although Nicholas I tried to provoke Duke Golitsyn with vicious words, Duke Golitsyn did not have a trace of anger.

On the contrary, it was Andrew next to Duke Golitsyn. Nikolaev. With an indignant expression on his face, Golitsyn walked up to Nicholas I and raised his hand to give Nicholas I two slaps to sober him up a little.

"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 are you all producing all these things?"

As the helmsman of the Empire, have you ever really worked one day!

You have comfortably snatched the fruits of the labor of the citizens of the Russian Empire and temporarily placed them in our hands.

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

Therefore, I must put an end to this evil with my own hands! So that the people of the Russian Empire will not be oppressed by privileges and live together in a new era of equality! ”

"What kind of nonsense are you!" Nicholas I yelled at Duke Golitsyn: "I repeat, the world has been unequal from the beginning, even in France, which you admire!" You go and ask Jérôme. Bonaparte, he is not equal to his subjects! Ask the nobles of Paris if they are willing to be equal to the subjects who have lived on the land for generations!

All you do is to satisfy your own messianic desires! ”

"You're right, there is no absolute equality in this world!" The Duke of Golitsyn replied approvingly: "This is true even in France now, but I think I can build a world of relative equality by my own efforts!" That's enough! ”

"Do you know how many nobles were massacred and expelled by France in the first place!" Nicholas I's eyes widened and he said to Duke Golitsyn: "Do you also want to learn from them that they slaughtered all the nobility of Russia?" ”

"I don't want to kill too much!" Duke Golitsyn first replied abruptly, and then changed his words and said coldly: "If those nobles are unwilling to give up their privileges, I will kill them all without hesitation, just like Robespierre did at the beginning!" ”

"You will only be opposed by all the nobles if you do this!" 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 did not expect to be able to convince them with words from the very beginning, and only by making them feel death personally will they learn to compromise with the citizens of the Russian Empire!" ”

"If they choose to compromise, it's your death!" Nicholas I continued.

"Now that they have chosen to back down, it means that they are moving forward along the path of reform that I want!" Duke Golitsyn smiled with relief on his face, "Even if I am killed by them in the end, I will not regret it for a moment!" ”

"You ......" Nicholas I was speechless, he found himself simply unable to convince/provoke a Puritans with the need to convince/provoke.

"That's it! Citizen Nicholas I, the conversation between us, it's time for it to end! Duke Golitsyn replied to Nicholas I, then turned to Andrew: "The Tsar of the Russian Empire will die tonight!" ”

"Yes!" Andrew had a hideous look on his face.

"Duke Golitsyn, I curse you! I curse each and every one of you to bear the sin of king-killing for eternity, walking and purgatory, and suffering endless torment......" Nicholas I, who was angry, had a slightly distorted face, and he issued a vicious curse to Duke Golitsyn.

"Your Majesty! If there really is purgatory in this world, then you will enter it before I do! Duke Golitsyn replied indifferently, "After all, my family and I stand on the shoulders of the Romanov family!" ”

With that, Duke Golitsyn left the room.

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

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

"Andrew, I don't know what Duke Golitsyn has promised you! As long as you choose to submit to me, I can guarantee that you and your family will be able to follow the Romanovs for a long time! "Nicholas I tried to win over Nikolaev with benefits . Golitsyn.

Andrew. Nikolaev. Golitsyn stopped, a hesitant expression on his face, "But my surname is also Golitsyn!" ”

Seeing that the rebellion was a little eyebrow-raising, Nicholas I hastened to respond to him: "It doesn't matter! As long as you are willing to arrest that traitor to Golitsyn, I will personally canonize you as the Prince of South Russia! At the same time, you will be the governor of Odessa, and the whole of Odessa will become your territory! ”

"Sounds good!" Andre. Nikolaev. Golitsyn touched his chin with a thoughtful look.

"Yes! If you don't want to be the governor of Odessa, you can also be the governor of Finland! Nicholas I hurriedly increased his stacks, and he felt as if he could move Andrew. Nikolaev apostasy.

"Alas!" Andrew. Nikolaev. Golitsyn sighed, he slowly walked in front of Nicholas I, and in the hopeful gaze of Nicholas I, he fiercely grabbed Nicholas I by the neck and said coldly: "It's a pity! There is some indissoluble hatred between the two of us! ”

"I ...... Guys...... Finally...... What's ...... Enmity? Nicholas I, who was choked by Nikolaev's neck, asked intermittently.

"My biological parents were ruthlessly exiled to Siberia by you in the first place! If it weren't for Uncle Golitsyn's help, I'm afraid I would have died on the way to Siberia! "Nikolaev. Golitsyn gritted his teeth and roared at Nicholas I.

"Original...... Be...... Such! "Nicholas I's voice is getting weaker and weaker.

At the end of his life, he seemed to have returned to the winter of twenty-nine.

At that time, he had just inherited the throne when he encountered a rebellion of the Decembrists.

At first, he could not understand why the Decembrists would give up their privileged lives and devote themselves to an action that would not benefit them.

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

Is it really that important to them?
