Struggle in Russia

Vol 3 Chapter 911: Self-defeating?

Alexander II's sudden rage caught everyone by surprise. The big guys didn't quite understand what happened, and they didn't realize it until they said their appeal.

It’s just that it’s just a sudden realization. It doesn’t mean that everyone understands Alexander II. In fact, most people think that he is a bit unreasonable.

Why do you say that?

The reason is that in the time of Nicholas I, this would never have happened. Because Nicholas I will definitely clean up the rumors in the market as soon as possible, and nip all the signs in the bud.

It will definitely not be like Alexander II, who didn't take it seriously at the first time when things happened, and then became angry and angered his courtiers when things got serious and found out that it was not good for him.

This is definitely not the style of Nicholas I. The one who is arbitrary is arbitrariness, but what he says and does is a spittle. Go vent your anger and blame the blame.

This is really a little unaccustomed to the ministers of the Nicholas I era, because in the Nicholas I era, they were more reprimanded for their unfavorable handling, rather than inexplicably scolded and criticized.

Of course, although the big guys complained about it and were uncomfortable with it, seeing Nikolai Milutin's misfortune, not everyone complained about it. For example, for conservatives, such as Count Uvarov and Konditantin Pobedonostsev who have always looked at him disliked, they are a bit of a joke mentality.

In their view, although these rumors had no direct relationship with Nikolai Milutin, it was not because of his ineffective handling that these rumors flourished. But in the final analysis, these gossips are inseparable from the free thoughts advocated by the reformists. If you, Nikolai Milyutin, did not vigorously call for and promote these dangerous ideas, how could this situation happen?

So it's not wrong to hit your **** with the board, you deserve it!

In addition to these people who are happy to see jokes, Duke Alexander and Duke Aldorf have another mentality, because this matter was actually created by them, but it was only borrowed from the mouths of the reformers, so seeing Nicholas Miluting was being scolded, and they could only say sorry secretly in their hearts.

In addition to being sorry, they were more concerned about the direction of the matter. They wanted to know how Nikolai Milutin would deal with this unexpected disaster. Would he push back forcefully or be a doormat silently?

Of course, they didn't want Nikolai Milutin to be too strong, because that would be very likely to play off. Once the reformists and Alexander II fought to the end, the final result would be very pessimistic.

To be honest, Duke Alexander and others were sweating in their hearts.

Fortunately, this hanging heart soon fell back into his stomach, because Nicholas Milyutin bowed his head to apologize to Alexander II in a "cowardly" way, and promised to immediately eliminate the influence and arrest those who slandered the late emperor.

"Well, I told you he doesn't have the guts!" Duke Aldorf said to Duke Alexander contemptuously, "He is not the second Earl Speranski. Compared with that earl, he Whether it's wisdom or will, it's a big gap!"

Duke Alexander also agrees with this conclusion, but now is not the time to complain about Nikolai Milutin's incompetence. chain reaction.

"What chain reaction?" Prince Mikhail asked in confusion.

Duke Aldorf sighed, and said: "If His Majesty feels that he is weak and deceitful, then His Majesty may change his mind, and there may be another twists and turns in the reform... If Nikolai Milyutin can't stand it, then the problem That's a big deal!"

This is also what Duke Alexander was most worried about. If Nikolai Milyutin couldn't withstand the pressure, his sincerity might be taken away by Alexander II. Once this kind of thing happens, it means that the whole situation will be completely rewritten!

For Duke Alexander, although he is not a firm supporter of reform, he is also a beneficiary of the current situation. If there is no reform, the conservatives will make a comeback soon, so it is very difficult for him to be the foreign minister or even the prime minister. It's hard to say.

What's more, Duke Alexander believes that reform is still necessary for Russia. If he continues to follow the old path of Nicholas I, the future of Russia will be very pessimistic. As the Duke of the Empire, this is definitely not what he wants to see.

"Is it so serious?" Duke Mikhail realized the seriousness of the problem when he saw his brother's face was very ugly.

Duke Alexander sighed: "It's serious, it's serious, it's not serious... It depends on His Majesty's next actions and Nikolai Milutin's reaction... But I think His Majesty may launch a new round of temptation ~www.readwn.com~ How Nikolai Milutin responds can basically see the final result..."

As he spoke, he sighed again. It could be seen that he was entangled and a little bit regretful. He probably thought it was a bit of a joke this time. If he had known that the result would kill him, he wouldn't have done it secretly.

Duke Mikhail looked at the sad-faced Duke Alexander and then at the troubled Duke Aldorf, and cautiously suggested: "Should we talk to Grand Duke Andrew and see what he has to say? And opinion, maybe the kid who is ghostly and ghostly has a trick?"

To be honest, this suggestion is a bit ridiculous to Duke Alexander and Duke Aldorf. Although they recognize someone's vision and ability, they don't think that someone has the ability to solve such a complicated situation. In the end, the reason why he agreed to Duke Mikhail's suggestion was just to treat a dead horse as a living horse doctor.

"you…"

When Li Xiao learned about the small actions and worries of Duke Alexander and Duke Ordorf from Duke Mikhail, he was also a little dumbfounded. It's very simple, he naturally got the news of what happened today, and he was also surprised by the rumors and rumors in the market at first, knowing that he didn't find the hands that were secretly pushing.

So when Nikolai Milutin was criticized, he also had similar worries as Duke Alexander, but after listening to Duke Mikhail explain the ins and outs, he felt that this matter was really speechless.

Fortunately, Nikolai Milyutin is not really the real leader of the reformist faction, and fortunately there is a hidden old **** Count Rostovtsev behind him, otherwise this matter would really be self-defeating!
