Struggle in Russia

"The Archduke Constantine is connecting people to prepare to force the palace?"

Alexander II was neither surprised nor not too surprised when he got the news. What surprised him was that his younger brother finally couldn't restrain his ambition and wanted to do things regardless of the overall interests of the Romanov family. Not too surprised because he never trusted Kang. Grand Duke Standing, knew that sooner or later he would do this.

It's just that Grand Duke Constantine moved so quickly that he didn't expect it. After all, he had just appointed him as the Minister of the Navy. It stands to reason that this guy should be a little grateful, and he would have to stop for two days. It's just a rich wolf who doesn't know how to raise it!

"I knew he was a bastard! He has been since he was a child!" Alexander II was angry. He hammered the table and roared: "His birth was a mistake. He should have drowned when he was born. In the toilet!"

Count Shuvanov glanced at Count Rostovtsev and Pobedonostsev next to him, and found that the two stood there calmly, as if they were not surprised by Alexander II's swear words. I didn't take it to heart.

To be honest, he was a little surprised that he could appear on this occasion. After all, all the bosses standing here are the confidantes of Alexander II, and he has nothing to do with these two. I'm not qualified to stand here, okay?

Count Shuvanov would rather not be here, because it feels too bad. Everyone knows that the tsar who is in a rage is the most difficult to serve. Who knows what weird ideas will come up from Alexander II's anger.

What if he really wants to implement these ideas?

Count Shuvanov knew how absurd and terrible the decision-making under anger was. If Alexander II really went berserk later, what would he do?

Is it risking death to persuade or let it go?

To be honest, he felt that neither of these two things could be done, and he might offend Alexander II by risking his life to persuade him. How could a **** like him have the guts?

And letting it go is likely to create a bigger crisis, and if the big bosses outside know that he is indifferent to this, will they think he is a sycophant and a sycophant? Isn't his reputation going to stink the streets?

Count Shuvanov, who became more and more confused as he thought about it, involuntarily glanced at Count Rostovtsev and Pobedonostsev next to him. Now he can only hope that these two big men are strong enough to stand up Get ahead!

Pobedonostsev didn't know about Count Shuvanov's mental activities, because he didn't take Count Shuvanov seriously at all, even if he was pushed beside him by Alexander II, but so what?

He knew Count Shuvanov's footsteps too well. He had joined Count Uvarov earlier to do dirty work, but he failed his mission and was dispatched abroad. It was about to turn into rootless floating weeds, but it was lucky to do a passable job, so Alexander II took a high look at it.

Strictly speaking, this fellow has neither background nor holy family, so he can be crushed to death with one finger, okay?

Pobedonostsev thought more about how to deal with the Grand Duke Constantine. He didn't have any good feelings for the Grand Duke. Even without the order of Alexander II, he wanted to teach the arrogant Grand Duke a lesson.

So he thought for a while and immediately replied: "Your Majesty, I think it is necessary to take decisive measures! For example, immediately remove him from his post and teach him a profound lesson!"

Alexander II just glanced up at Pobedonostsev, neither agreeing nor disagreeing. If it was an ordinary person, he would definitely not be sure what he meant, but the people in this room were not ordinary people, even It was Count Shuvanov, who had the lowest status, who saw through his thoughts.

Alexander II undoubtedly wanted to teach Grand Duke Constantine a lesson, but obviously Pobedonostsev's method of teaching did not satisfy him.

In fact, Earl Shuvanov thought it was too much fun. What do you think of the Grand Duke Constantine and the Minister of the Navy? It has not been three months since Grand Duke Constantine became the Minister of the Navy, and you have been dismissed by others. How do you explain it to the outside world?

And after all, he is the leader of the reformists, aren't you provoking the sensitive nerves of the reformers and forcing them to blow their hair?

Anyway, Earl Shuvanov would never choose such an unskilled punishment method. He felt that even if he wanted to punish Grand Duke Constantine, he must have some technical content, and he couldn't do it so straightforwardly. It must hurt the other party without intensifying the conflict!

It's just that Count Shuvanov hasn't figured out such a method yet, and even if he did, he wouldn't dare to say it. It would only offend Pobedonostsev and make him wear small shoes behind him, so he isn't that stupid Woolen cloth!

Of course, Count Shuvanov has another idea, he wants to see if Count Rostovtsev has any good ideas~www.readwn.com~ After all, the count seemed to be very good at eating him to death Forced, he wants to know how capable this future potential boss is.

Count Shuvanov didn't speak, and Pobedonostsev's idea was too bad, so Alexander II naturally aimed at Count Rostovtsev.

His feelings for the count Alexander II are also very special. He hopes that Count Rostovtsev can do something but also hopes that he can't. The reason is that this earl is not the minister of his hidden residence after all, and he is separated from Bariatinsky and Pobedonostsev by a thick layer. It bothers him very much. M..

But he also knew that if Count Rostovtsev couldn't teach Grand Duke Constantine a lesson, he would probably have to swallow the bad breath, which made him very upset, so he was very entangled.

Count Rostovtsev bowed slightly and replied: "Your Majesty, it is not appropriate to temporarily dismiss Grand Duke Constantine. It is easy to intensify conflicts and make the current complicated situation even more chaotic. To be safe, it is better not to act impulsively."

Alexander II nodded and asked, "Then what do you think should be done?"

Count Rostovtsev bowed again and replied: "It depends on your Majesty's will."

This answer made Monk Zhang Er of Alexander II puzzled. He frowned and asked, "What do you mean?"

"If you are sure to start reforms, you might as well make some gestures first, such as setting up a committee or something. Those liberals will naturally be satisfied when they see your actions, and naturally they will not follow Grand Duke Constantine. .”

Speaking of this, Count Rostovtsev chuckled lightly: "At that time, His Royal Highness was alone, everything would be easy, wouldn't it..."
