Struggle in Russia

Vol 3 Chapter 917: Still making progress

Facts have proved that people are really motivated when they are pushed. Feeling that the future is in jeopardy, Duke Dolgoruki no longer has the elegance of the past, so he hurriedly started to find someone to find a solution as if his **** was burned.

Yes, for an old official like him, if he can't solve the problems by himself, he should try to get others to help solve them. Otherwise, what is the use of the relationship network that has spent so much money for so many years?

Duke Dolgoruki went to find little Adlerberg first, and he had a good relationship with this little fox.

Of course, there are many people who have a good relationship with him, and it must not be because the relationship is strong enough that he went to find little Adlerberg.

The main reason for looking for this little fox is that this guy has a good father. Although the old Adlerberg, the deputy minister of court affairs, has not been able to become a full-time official, and with the death of Nicholas I, his position has become more and more embarrassing. .

But I have to say that this old fox is really good at dancing, and can be related to everything. Considering that the old fox recently wanted to get closer to Bariatinsky, he felt that he would not fail to ask him for help.

"You offended Konstantin Pobedonostsev?" Adlerberg and Prince Dolgoruky had to go around for a long time and played charades for a long time before he roughly figured out the purpose of someone's visit.

Not to mention he was a little surprised, after all, the conservatives don't know that Count Uvarov is in the past tense, and the future of the conservatives lies with Pobedonostsev and Bariatinsky. As long as you're not too stupid, you won't take the initiative to offend these two future bosses.

He looked Duke Dolgoruki up and down, and he always thought that this good friend was not a fool, but why did he do such a stupid thing?

"It's not that I want to offend him!" Prince Dolgoruky explained eagerly. "You know, I have a better relationship with Prince Bariatinsky... Between the prince and Pobedonostsev I Definitely serve the Duke more, right!"

Of course, little Adlerberg can understand this kind of hint, but understanding it doesn't mean he can understand someone's stupidity. There is no essential contradiction in Zev's handling of the relationship. .

Duke Dolgoruky could only twitch and say again: "That's true, but as a good friend of Duke Bariatinsky, I must help the Duke do more things, such as preventing certain people from Taking advantage of the duke’s absence in St. Petersburg to develop power indiscriminately, don’t you think so?”

It was only now that little Adlerberg really understood, he was too clear about this kind of intrigue. He even figured out that Duke Dolgoruky must have been taking advantage of Prince Bariatinsky's absence to perform well, and then he hit Pobedonostsev's muzzle.

Although Pobedonostsev looked polite, no one who could climb to his position was not a ruthless person, and it was easy to deal with a reckless man like Duke Dolgoruky!

After understanding Duke Dolgoruky's question, little Adlerberg fell into deep thought. Should he really think about this favor for him. After all, the current situation is very delicate: although the struggle between reformists and conservative forces has become fierce, it has not become particularly bloody.

The young forces represented by Count Uvarov and Bariatinsky within the conservative forces are also fighting without breaking. Although everyone disliked everyone, they didn't tear their faces.

And now there is some fantastic chemistry between Bariatinsky and Pobedonostsev. Even if these conflicts were not caused by the direct confrontation between the two, but by their own subordinates.

But who can guarantee that those two don't have similar ideas?

Little Adlerberg felt that he had to be cautious. Once he made a wrong bet, the consequences would be extremely serious.

"You told Duke Dolgoruky that you want to discuss with me?" Old Adlerberg asked sternly with his dim yellow eyes.

"Yes, father." Little Adlerberg replied honestly, "This matter involves too much, and the situation is a bit complicated. I'm worried..."

"You are right to have such worries!" Old Adlerberg interrupted his son's words very rudely, and said earnestly: "However, sometimes there are some things and some people that cannot be too cautious!"

Little Adlerberg was confused. When he was actively doing things a few years ago, he was scolded by the old man all over his head, always scolding him for not being stable enough and being rough. This time he managed to get serious, why did he scold him for being too cautious.

Feelings, no matter what I do, it is wrong?

For a while, little Adlerberg felt a little sad and angry, feeling that being a son to old Adlerberg was the most painful job in the world.

"Don't put on that hurt expression! I know you have an opinion in your heart!" Old Adlerberg taught very bluntly ~www.readwn.com~ You think you are doing things according to my requirements, Then you will be full of resentment after being taught a lesson by me, right? "

Little Adlerberg neither dared to nod nor shook his head, because he knew that the old man hadn't finished speaking, and if he admitted it foolishly, he would definitely be taught a lesson later!

Sure enough, the old Adlerberg stared at him for a long time, and saw that his attitude was quite correct, and then continued: "What situation and what to do needs to be analyzed in detail, and you can't be too rigid! You were too impetuous before, and you were too impetuous to do things. I'm so frizzy, I naturally have to tell you to be cautious! And now you're still hesitating and procrastinating when you see a god-given opportunity in front of you, isn't this just sitting back and watching the opportunity slip away?"

Little Adlerberg asked in a daze: "A god-given opportunity? Father, do you think this is an opportunity? Why can't I see it?"

Seeing that old Adlerberg was about to lose his temper again, he quickly argued: "I know Duke Dolgoruky very well, and a snobbish eye is the best at adapting to the wind. Duke Kiy made his own decision to provoke Pobedonostsev, and he certainly did not have the consent of Prince Bariatinsky to do so.

Looking at old Adlerberg, seeing that the old man was not angry, he mustered up the courage to continue: "If Bariatinsky doesn't approve of what he did, what he did is enough to make the Duke hate him." , without the Duke's appreciation, he really is nothing. Why should we take the risk of offending Pobedonostsev with him?"

Old Adlerberg nodded slowly: "It's not bad, at least I can see something, and I have made a lot of progress compared with you before! But this is not enough! You don't see the problem comprehensively enough!"
