Solovyov in Tsarist Russia 1796

The troublesome part is how to explain it.

"Your Majesty, I have opposed this marriage before, and there are some other things. I think you should ask for help from someone else."

At this time, Alexander listened and glared at Kutuzov with the same eyes as when he was on the top of Pratzen Heights.

"Well, since it is your decision, Your Majesty, I will go."

"That's right, you are already a lieutenant general, you must be decisive in doing things, don't make excuses for everything."

This is what Alexander said, he is the biggest actor in Russia.

When he was hesitant, whether to do it or not.

Soloviev could only think about it, and it was okay to complain in his heart, but there were some things that could not be said out loud.

"Your Majesty, but we have to go to Paris. Has the court and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs reached a conclusion on this matter?"

"We need to see the situation in Europe, Misha. You can go home and rest during this period to accompany your wife and lover. Speaking of which, I envy you. Your wife and lover have such a good relationship."

However, it is the same in his family, except that Louisa sometimes competes with the Polish girl. They both probably show off that their children are cuter.

Of course, Louisa has a slight advantage in terms of numbers.

"Your Majesty, but I think at this time, although Katya can accept Madame Recamier, she is in Paris."

"You have had few romantic affairs, so don't be in a hurry to leave. I know that Louisa prefers knowledgeable young people. There are not many people who can chat with her for a long time. You were one of them, but you were always sent out."

However, this sounded strange. Alexander did not suspect the affair between Solovyov and Louisa. Even if he knew about it, he would have turned the page if it did not cause any serious consequences. After all, his best friend, the Polish prince and former foreign minister Czartoryski, had been committed to pushing Louisa down before getting married, and it would be best if he could have children with her.

Now he can only be Louisa's brother-in-law, which is very funny to think about.

Soloviev's wife was introduced by Alexander and Louisa, and he has been a teacher to Nicholas, so it's easy to say.

"Your Majesty, if you need anything, you can call me."

"Nothing, the children have grown up one after another. If we still hire a tutor, I'm afraid there won't be enough space. I want to formally establish the Royal Village Middle School in the model of Louis the Great Middle School. Nicholas and Mikhail will go there, and a girls' school will be opened next to it."

In short, Alexander said a lot, that is, he put forward some opinions on education. The Royal Village Middle School was originally planned to be established, and the same subjects were offered to aristocratic girls. It sounds a bit too progressive. Even the Smolny Palace Girls' School is not the case.

"Girls are relatively more emotional and mature early. Mixed schools are also the way of the future. According to the current environment, it is more suitable to separate them. Education is also great, Your Majesty, but it will take a process."

Hearing Solovyov say this, he didn't think it was interesting.

But there is one thing. In addition to General Langsdorf, the guardian, Solovyov is mainly responsible for the curriculum of the two younger brothers. Let Nicholas and Mikhail go to the Royal Village Middle School, and always ask for his opinion.

Seeing his attitude, Alexander was very clear.

"As for the Imperial Village Middle School?"

"It is still very appropriate for the two princes to go there, if it is only in the palace. Your Majesty, as a general of the attendant, I have to point out that some people's flattery and flattery are not suitable for children to grow better. They always need companions of different status. In the palace, there can be children of servants, and in school, there are children of nobles and common students. As for other places."

"Is it to understand the people's sentiments? When my father was alive, he often did this when he was still the crown prince."

"Your Majesty, why the late emperor has always been missed, this is the most important point. Although he has a bad temper, he always has his subjects in his heart and is willing to contact them."

Alexander also knew this, but because he has always been lazy, he always gave up halfway in understanding the people's sentiments.

As for Nicholas, he still has high hopes, so he is willing to let Solovyov take him to contact people of all classes.

In the past, in order to correct Nicholas's excessive enthusiasm for military training, Solovyov actually took him to experience life.

"Okay. You can go back now."

Soloviev ended today's summons. It's time to go home. After all, there is no specific work assigned to him recently.

The Imperial Village Middle School, according to the preparatory school system, also starts on September 1st. Now is the second semester of the preparatory school, so there is no upgrade process.

There are also opposing forces in the palace. There are always some people who are strange. According to the educational method of the Russian royal family, it is difficult to cultivate a qualified monarch. This is Solovyov's own evaluation.

Alexander at least has a few responsible teachers. When it comes to Nicholas, if he is not a guest teacher now, the basic education may be in vain. When he reaches adulthood, he may feel that the things he learned when he was a child will only make him accomplish nothing, and it will be too late to make up for it.

Well, this is what Nicholas I thought after becoming the Tsar, or restoring history.

Of course, Solovyov didn't need to think about these things now. He walked along the corridor of the Winter Palace and was about to go home when he saw Maria and Ekaterina coming together.

"Your Highnesses, it's a coincidence that I can meet you in the corridor today."

Although the words were a bit polite, considering that these two people have been familiar with me since childhood, it didn't matter.

"Ah, Count, you are back from Sweden?"

"I always finish all the work. His Majesty has now allowed me to go home to accompany my family. I can relax a little in the past few months."

Maria just smiled and said, "That's very interesting, but"

This girl, after getting married, it is difficult to change her personality as a child.

"Just what?"

"My sister," Maria then hugged Ekaterina from behind and stuck her head out from behind her - the sisters were not short, and Maria couldn't hide behind her. She just made a face for Solovyov, "That Frenchman, your uncle, is not liked by many people here. He is our former enemy and always proposes to Katish. What can we do?"

"I think the court and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs will always make proper arrangements. Of course, His Majesty the Emperor of France and my aunt are the queen, so it doesn't sound appropriate to say this."

After all, Josephine and Napoleon have not divorced yet. Letting Ekaterina marry him will not be good for Solovyov, but may be a bit bad.

"Yes, Maria, Misha's stepmother is the cousin of the French Queen, who is also his aunt. And what is that man like? I just think he must be a devil."

"Although I have expressed my opinion in front of His Majesty," Solovyov's opinion was to oppose, but it was ineffective, "but this also depends on the final decision between the big men in Paris and Petersburg. Apart from this, although my uncle is a terrible opponent, he is not a devil compared to some British warmongers who provoke war."

In short, this is Solovyov's unprecedented speech on Napoleon's side.

"You are relatives, if I go to Paris"

"Of course there are arrangements for this, and you don't want to go, Your Highness."

"Don't talk about this, we can go for a walk in the garden, but it's not interesting here."

Maria finally stood up to ease the embarrassment, and grabbed Solovyov's hand.

She had a boyish personality when she was young. When Soloviev met her, she pretended to be a lady. Now she is active and is actively creating some ambiguous plots.

After giving birth to her second child, Maria's figure has become better and better. In some places, she is comparable to the Prussian queen.

Fortunately, it is not a big wave of blonde hair, round waves and hips, which can be said to be Make Saxony-Weimar Great Again.

She has always had a court hairstyle, but this way of doing it looks more subtle and is likely to create a more subtle Shura field.

He has already owed a lot of debts, and Maria is always creating ambiguity in this way, which may be more troublesome than sending Catherine to Paris.

But when she arrived in the garden, Maria changed her attitude. She now looked very serious.

Although the initial action was obviously part of her daily marginal ball operation, considering the happiness of her sister, she always had to find a reliable person to inquire.

Solovyov was a nominal relative of Napoleon, and he had met him in person and been praised by the emperor. He had also been to Paris in the past, so he should be familiar with the situation.

Maria and Catherine were raised together since childhood, eating, sleeping, playing, studying, and even bathing together, so their relationship was even deeper.

She didn't want something bad to happen. In fact, if she hadn't arranged a marriage with Weimar early on, she might have been the unlucky one this time.

Maria's physical condition must be the one Napoleon liked more.

And really, if she hadn't learned music and dance later and restrained her personality, Maria would still be the most tomboyish among the grand duchesses in the Russian court.

"Okay, there are only three of us here, just like when sister Elena called you to the studio when you were little, there is no one else, we can sit down and have a good chat."

"Would you like some drinks?"

"Speaking of which, a natural mineral water and fruit juice drink is popular in Petersburg recently."

Maria said this, and Solovyov remembered that the earliest carbonated drinks probably appeared during this period, and they were all natural mixtures.

"So the palace has them too?"

"My brother likes new things so much, so the palace naturally has them. I can ask the maids to arrange them."

Ekaterina also brought a maid out. After all, she has not married yet, and there is always a pomp in the palace.

While the maid went to get the drinks, the three of them also exchanged opinions on Napoleon's issue.

"Let me be frank. My uncle the Emperor is too old. He should be about the same age as Prince Bagration, and he is slightly shorter and fatter than me. He has a clear mind, quick reaction, and is quite cultured, but he is also very rude. It is sometimes difficult for a great man to change his bad habits. Sometimes, he is also a bit self-righteous in an Italian way."

"Why Italian?"

"Before 1768, Corsica was still part of the Republic of Genoa, and most of the indigenous residents there were Italian. Even my uncle's past surname was Italian."

"Your old sweetheart, the Duchess of Guastalla, is also her sister."

Speaking of which, Maria was jealous of Paulina and her housekeeper, who actually got there first. It was okay to say that what was happening in front of her was that Katya was Solovyov's legal wife pointed out by her brother and sister-in-law. Mrs. Ray Kamil was a social butterfly who had always had a good relationship with everyone, and Maria was not bad at feeling about her.

Fortunately for Sylvia, Polina had a very bad reputation. Even Maria was angry that Solovyov had "fallen" to sleep with this woman.

It could be seen from his expression that Solovyov found Maria's jealousy strange.

"Okay, this is just a thing of the past. Maria, you have to know that sometimes, the development of things is unpredictable, although it sounds more like a philosophical topic."

Maria originally wanted to twist his arm, but thinking about Solovyov's injury not long ago, she still felt a little distressed.

Her methods are indeed becoming more and more strange. You must know that she wanted to make a sneak attack but never succeeded, and she was busy taking care of the children. Solovyov was often sent out every day.

When it comes to sight, it always shrinks back, and at most it reaches the ambiguous stage. The only time when it comes close to succeeding, it finally gives up.

Now, for the sake of my sister's happiness in life, I came to find this person who is more familiar with the situation, so naturally I have to remain reserved.

However, considering that she was preparing to return to Weimar soon, she decided to take advantage of the opportunity to speed up the progress.

But there was only Napoleon to talk about, and Solovyov then mentioned Napoleon's strengths and weaknesses to both of them.

And there is another thing, that is, I am always very proud of myself outside.

". Put it this way, I think it is very difficult for your aunt. Although her husband has a good relationship with her, he is always looking for women outside."

Maria gave Solovyov some face, but did not say that he was also like this, and felt sorry for Katya.

"But in France, this is normal. My aunt still associates with some big shots and young officers, so what can I say?"

After hearing the introduction, Catherine felt that Napoleon was not as bad as the propaganda said.

Solovyov did not realize that he objectively talked about who Napoleon was, and even criticized him objectively, which actually made Catherine, who had always resisted marrying to France, loosen her attitude. .
