Struggle in Russia

【Struggle in Tsarist Russia】【】

Pobedonostsev was dumbfounded, because when Count Rostovtsev proposed the establishment of a committee, he immediately thought of the subtlety of this trick. This committee is in hand.

Because the benefits are so great!

Just imagine, how big is the momentum of the reformists now? All pushed Alexander II into a corner, making him even more anxious.

If he can become the boss of the committee leading the reform, it will be tantamount to pinching seven inches of all reformers. How to reform and what needs to be changed are not all decided by this committee!

To put it bluntly, this committee is tantamount to putting a tight spell on the reformists for nothing. So, as long as he wants to, he can pick and choose those reformists at will.

But before he took the initiative to invite Alexander II, he directly handed over the committee to Count Rostovtsev for management. Although the latter has not yet expressed his consent, Pobedonostsev feels that anyone who is not a fool will definitely not refuse the pie that is delivered to his mouth, at least he will never do so.

But Count Rostovtsev was not Pobedonostsev. Even if he wanted this pie, he would not bite the bait directly, because there were too many disadvantages.

Count Rostovtsev knew very well that Alexander II was not at ease with him, and that he was able to hand over such an important position to him so happily. Apart from the fact that there was no suitable candidate around him, he also meant to test and beat him.

It might even be a test of his political leanings. It's not that Alexander II suspected that he was a reformist. Count Rostovtsev knew his acting skills and disguise ability, which no one would guess unless he took the initiative to decrypt it. But Alexander II may suspect that his stance is not firm, and he is just a fool on the wall. After all, no one can stop the reformists now. Who dares to be this praying mantis blocking traffic?

What Alexander II was most worried about was that the people around him were not firm and could not agree with him on key issues. In that case, he might be intimidated by the reformers...?

Follow the rhythm of the other party, so what's the point of him setting up that Shi Laozi committee?

After all, the fundamental purpose of his establishment of this committee is to resist reform, not to conform to the general trend of reform. To go against the trend, you have to use a few people who can withstand the pressure, at least you can't step on two boats, right?

So it is very possible that if Count Rostovtsev agreed immediately, then Alexander II must be muttering in his heart, wondering if he has been tricked. If he didn't do it well, he would try every means to set up a test for Count Rostovtsev, such as forcing him to set up obstacles to the reform.

Naturally, Count Rostovtsev would not be so stupid, he bowed slightly and said: "Your Majesty, I think it's best to appoint someone you trust the most and who can win the favor of those liberals...you know, I I have always been unimpressed with them, and the relationship with them is too tense, and the appointment of me will easily arouse their rebellious psychology."

These words made Alexander II so comfortable to hear. He likes to hear such words the most now. He wants to use them as long as they are against the reformers, and he likes them as long as they are against the reforms. In particular, Count Rostovtsev was able to take the initiative to give in and take care of the overall situation, which made him more comfortable.

After listening to Count Rostovtsev's words, it was not only Alexander II who felt comfortable, but Pobedonostsev, who was full of enthusiasm, was even more comfortable. When Alexander II decided to appoint Count Rostovtsev, he It was depressing, but now he felt full of energy, wishing he could jump in front of Alexander II and raise his hands up, crying and yelling that he was willing to do it!

In fact, he was going to do the same, but just as he was about to open his mouth, Alexander II asked, "Count, who do you think is more suitable than you?"

Pobedonostsev's heart skipped a beat. He knew about his family affairs. He had a normal relationship with Count Rostovtsev. Under normal circumstances, Count Rostovtsev was unlikely to recommend him. Naturally, he It's frustration, and I'm going to try my best to find out when Count Rostovtsev proposes a candidate.

......?

It’s just that Pobedonostsev miscalculated again, because Count Rostovtsev naturally recommended him: “I think Constantine is very suitable for this position. He has all kinds of advantages and should be able to do it! "

Pobedonostsev suppressed all the bad ideas in his heart, and he couldn't speak ill of himself. Of course, he was also a little moved. He felt that Count Rostovtsev was a man who knew the times. He knew that he was Alexander II's confidant. He would never be able to win the fight.

Of course, he was more happy in his heart. He felt that with his position in Alexander II's heart and Count Rostovtsev's recommendation, the position should be sure. If he couldn't do it, who else could?

"oh?"

Alexander II glanced meaningfully at Count Rostovtsev~www.readwn.com~ and turned to Pobedonostsev: "The count recommended you, Konstantin, do you have confidence? "

Pobedonostsev immediately replied confidently: "Your Majesty, I will definitely live up to your trust!"

But what he didn't expect was that his confident answer did not lead to the job, but changed Alexander II's mind. He nodded slowly and said, "Konstantin, you have the confidence to go to the It is very good to manage this department well, and I believe that you will be able to manage this committee well...but..."

But it was like a pot of cold water poured over Pobedonostsev's heart. He never thought that the last duck could fly away, because Alexander II said: "But you have to take care of the third duck." Ministry, and you have to worry about the committee again, I’m afraid you have limited energy and can’t take care of it. How about this, you should focus on managing the third department, which is more important. The committee should be managed by Count Rostovtsev first. Straighten it out, and you can take care of this end!"

Pobedonostsev was depressed, because he couldn't figure out why he lost the election, because there were no competitors at all, why!

Actually no competitors...?

It is Pobedonostsev's biggest culprit. If you think about it, he is already in charge of the third department, and now he is also in charge of the reform committee. For Alexander II, this power is too great.

Naturally, he could not give Pobedonostsev all the powers, certainly not to put him in charge of the reform committee..._&?
