Vladimirovich's speech made Jerome Bonaparte certain that, without opposition from the Kingdom of Prussia and the Austrian Empire, Nicholas I already felt isolated.
As a ruler of a country, Nicholas I may not have the great plans and strategies like Empress Catherine, but he would not make blundering moves like Tsar Paul either.
If that were not the case, Nicholas I would not be residing in the Tsarskoye Selo near St. Petersburg, but rather lying in a coffin.
In the land of Russia, filled with coups and bloodshed, any emperor without means faces the risk of death.
The loyal Guard Army would break the "imprisonment" of the Tsar's Tsarskoye Selo, drag the Tsar out and hang him, then bring out the Crown Prince, who would issue an edict of pardon, and support the Crown Prince's pardon.
This model is somewhat similar to the succession laws of the Ottoman Empire's Imperial Guard next door, and more coincidentally, both the Ottoman Empire and Russian Empire call themselves Rome...
