Struggle in Russia

Not to mention that Alexander II was a conservative, even Dmitry and Nikolai Milutin were speechless for a while, because Count Rostovtsev was really a little bit so, even they were quite speechless.

Fortunately, the earl is one of his own, otherwise, they might not be much better than Alexander II and others, and they are probably being played by the earl as a monkey, right?

It’s just that the words are so, but Dmitry still disagrees with Count Rostovtsev’s decision to appoint Count Shuvanov:

"Your Excellency, I think that even if your move is a bit unexpected, no one will guess your real intention... But I always think that Earl Shuvanov cannot be trusted or reused. He is too dangerous! Let such a dangerous person have Opportunity to steal key positions, which is not a good thing in the long run!"

Nikolai Milutin also nodded repeatedly and echoed, "I agree, it is indeed too dangerous to do so, and you have been warning us to pay attention to this person before, why did you forget it in a blink of an eye?"

Faced with Nikolai Milyutin's questioning, Count Rostovtsev replied confidently: "I haven't forgotten this, so I just dealt with him severely, and made sure he is honest, my friend. , Relax! I am sure to control this person, although he is dangerous, he will not be able to escape my control!"

The more confident Count Rostovtsev was, the more worried Nikolai Milyutin and Dmitry became. They felt that Count Rostovtsev was a little bit drifting and began to underestimate the enemy.

Count Rostovtsev explained for a long time but failed to reassure them completely, and finally got a little annoyed, and said angrily: "If you don't use Count Shuvanov, who shall we use? Now as long as it is our comrade, don't even think about getting close to the first one." The third part, His Majesty is strictly guarding against us and never gives us any loopholes. You know this best, Nicholas. You have checked the third part for so long and brought down a group of people, but Your Majesty has used it. You recommend it Anyone from?"

Nikolai Milyutin stopped talking for a moment, because the facts are exactly the same. He tried his best to target the third part, but in the end he overthrew the old conservatives and replaced them with small conservatives. The Ministry is still controlled by the conservatives, and it is impossible for him to shake the basic attributes of this department.

Obviously, this was deliberately done by Alexander II, just to ensure that the third part is under the control of the conservatives and himself. Anyway, no matter how many people you kill, the conservatives will always be replaced. It depends on how long you can toss!

This made people very speechless, and Nikolai Milutin also felt very frustrated, which made him very depressed.

Seeing that Count Rostovtsev had calmed him down, he immediately continued: "So don't expect us to be able to smoothly install our own people in the third part, that's impossible! The only thing we can do is to install someone like Shuvanov The Earl, who can be controlled by us, is constantly provoking internal disputes in the third part, such as letting Duke Dolgoruky and Pobedonostsev continue to bite dogs. Only in this way can we let the third part The Ministry has no way to deal with us with all its strength!"

Nikolai Milyutin and Dmitry were silent, because Count Rostovtsev's decision made sense in this way. If he can't control the third part, he can only mess up the third part. The third part, which is constantly dragging each other's legs, cannot play the role of the czar's watchdog.

"But Count Shuvanov..." Dmitri was still worried.

Count Rostovtsev sighed: "Well, let's use it first, and then slowly discover better alternatives. Once I find a better alternative or his performance is out of control, I will deal with it in advance. Don't you worry about him?"

To be honest, Dmitry is still worried, but he also knows that this is Count Rostovtsev's last concession. If he continues to insist, Count Rostovtsev will not listen, but will act on his own.

He nodded reluctantly and said: "Okay, let's make this decision for now. But count, once you find out that Count Shuvanov has a problem, I hope you don't have any hesitation, you must cut off your wrist immediately!"

With deep fear of Count Shuvanov and worries about the future, Dmitry found Li Xiao and told the latter completely about Count Rostovtsev's decision.

Li Xiao was also very surprised, because when he met Count Rostovtsev today, the other party didn't mention this at all. Shouldn't he be informed of this kind of news?

But soon he figured it out, maybe Count Rostovtsev made the decision to use Count Shuvanov after an interview with him, and the reason why the old fox offered help so generously was probably rooted here.

He calculated an account in his heart~www.readwn.com~ and found that the help of Count Rostovtsev was a real benefit. Earl Nove has become the dark son of the reformist, and he can kill three birds with one stone!

Of course, he also has certain concerns about Count Rostovtsev's plan, because based on his understanding of Count Shuvanov, this is not a person who is content with the status quo. It can be manipulated, but once he has power, his ambition and desire will make him more and more out of control.

Unless Count Rostovtsev can guarantee to keep suppressing the power in the hands of Count Shuvanov, once he shows his true ability, especially if Alexander II discovers his ability, it can be said that he will lose control. .

Dmitry sighed: "Who didn't say that! I persuaded the count several times, but he didn't listen at all, and finally became angry. What do you call this!"

Li Xiao also gave a wry smile. Although he also felt that it would be dangerous to use Count Shuvanov, he essentially agreed with Count Rostovtsev's decision, because as he said, the situation is like this, and without Shuvanov The earl couldn't break the situation at all.

Since there is no choice, you can only take one step at a time. You can't just do nothing and wait just because of the danger, right?

I am afraid that only Alexander II would be happiest waiting, and the last thing he should do now is to make Alexander II happy. He must disrupt his rhythm and not be led by his nose. It is best to get ahead of him in everything and let him follow the rhythm of the reformers!

"If you are so worried, then pay more attention to Count Shuvanov. Once you find that he is in danger of losing control, you can either remind the count to kill him, or you can do it yourself and get rid of him!"
