Struggle in Russia

Is Vasily Konstantinovich Repnin very important?

It was indeed very important to Alexei, because he was the only one among Alexei's closest and most reliable friends who worked in the Winter Palace.

Although this is only a small character who accompanies the prince to study, he is close to the center of power after all. Not to mention anything else, he is much closer to Alexander II's court than Alexei and others. He may It can't be done well, but most of the big things happen can't be hidden from him.

With him, Alexei and others do not need to rely on the help of other political allies in major events. After all, neither the Gorchakov brothers nor Count Rostovtsev can say that those people are completely on the same side as them, and they may not share some things!

You ask why Li Xiao didn't realize this? In fact, it's not that he didn't realize it, but that he didn't understand or trust Vasily Konstantinovich, so naturally he wouldn't think about it.

It’s just that now that Alexey said so, he must choose to trust, so he frankly explained the conflict between Duke Dolgoruky and Pobedonostsev and the roles played by the Adlerberg father and son in it. Explained in detail.

Vasily Konstantinovich was no fool either, he immediately realized what was going on.

He commented very disdainfully: "The father and son are the best at this kind of tricks, what kind of gentlemen are they who want to repay their kindness! It is a shame to the nobles!"

There are quite a few people in Russia who can't stand old Adlerberg, especially in the aristocratic circle, not only because of this vicious means of repaying favors, but also because of many People hope to replace him, after all, this Minister of Palace Affairs who has been in office for too many years has blocked the way of too many people.

Of course, the reason why Vasily Konstantinovich hated the father and son was definitely not the one above, but because he unilaterally couldn't understand the way the father and son acted and how they behaved. After all, the more traditional aristocrats are, the more shameful they are. In today's Russia, there are a lot of nobles who have swollen faces and pretended to be fat. Don't they know that this kind of behavior is ridiculous and has no benefit?

In fact, they knew it, but the title they carried did not allow them to let go of their figure.

"They're not just repaying favors. I judge that they and Earl Uvarov are already at odds, and they are planning for the future." Li Xiao added slowly.

Vasily Konstantinovich was taken aback, touched the stubble on his chin, and asked, "Can you see it? I feel that they have always had this virtue, they are so despicable and shameless!"

Alexei interjected with a smile: "Despicable and shameless are indeed synonymous with the father and son, but this time is a bit special. I also think they are planning for the future. After all, Duke Dolgoruky is not an ordinary person. Prince Bariatinsky's relationship or his position in the third part are worth working on!"

Vasily Konstantinovich nodded, looked at Li Xiao thoughtfully, and exclaimed: "Your Excellency really has sharp eyesight, and he saw through the plot of the father and son at a glance... Is there any way?" Let them work in vain?"

In fact, Li Xiao is also thinking about this problem. There must be methods, but the question is which one to use. After all, the characters involved this time are relatively important, and they belong to the kind of ruthless characters who can make St. Petersburg tremble by stomping their feet.

It's not that I'm worried about the risks, but that these people have too much influence, and the current situation is relatively delicate, even a slight stimulus may cause a chain reaction.

Li Xiao knew very well what Earl Rostovtsev was busy with recently, and his side was the most important thing. If some small actions on his side affected his layout, it would be picking sesame seeds and losing watermelons.

After thinking for a while, Li Xiao replied very cautiously: "There are many ways to destroy the plot of the father and son, but considering the current situation, I think it's best to proceed with caution!"

Vasily Konstantinovich snorted because Li Xiao's answer surprised him. He thought Li Xiao would be very positive about it, but it didn't sound like that at all.

However, this did not affect his opinion of Li Xiao, and even Li Xiao's cautious answer made him more appreciative. Although he seems to be very young, and he is still actively involved in reform, but he is not like those young angry youths of the same age when it comes to how to reform. He believes that reform needs to be more pragmatic and more realistic, and blindly aiming too high is not a good thing. ..

In short, he also prefers a cautious attitude. If Li Xiao just talked about how to beat up Adlerberg and his son regardless of his care, he might turn his head and leave.

"Be careful!" Vasily Konstantinovich nodded repeatedly and said, "At least it's safer~www.readwn.com~ Li Xiao glanced at Alexei again, because he felt that the person in front of him was really weird Now, which of the reformist young people doesn't put radicalism at the very edge, and whoever says prudence or prudence will be ridiculed by the crowd, why is this person doing the opposite?

Alexey just smiled at this, and he didn't give too much explanation, but Li Xiao's doubts brought back some memories in him. As a member of the reformist, he really supported the reform, and he didn't even oppose the complete reform. revolution, but I don't know why he will be more cautious when it is actually implemented in action.

You can see some clues from the friends he made. You can see that he has a close relationship with Leonid, but that guy is actually very conservative in a strict sense. Looking at his relationship with Vasily Konstantinovich, he is also very close, but this one is not radical.

Sometimes Alexei wondered if he supported reform on the surface but tended to be conservative in his heart.

Just when Alexei wondered if he had a split personality, Li Xiao smiled and replied: "If you implement my plan, you must be cautious, but the safety may not be guaranteed. It will be dangerous!"

Vasily Konstantinovich said in a daze, "Is it dangerous? Will it make the situation worse?"

Li Xiao explained with a smile: "These dangers are for the people who implement the plan, but they don't have much impact on the situation, and there won't be much hidden danger to safety!"

Vasily Konstantinovich and Alexei were both stunned, because what Li Xiao said was a bit strange, why would the person who implemented the plan be so dangerous? This is not to risk your life, as for?

If Li Xiao knew what they were thinking, he would probably tell them in a serious manner—as for, because it is indeed dangerous!
